Sarah Jessica Parker lit up the East Room of the White House yesterday wearing a stunning red dress by Victoria Beckham. The Sex and the City actress was recognized by President Obama during the National Medal of Arts and National Humanities medal ceremony, which also honored Clint Eastwood and Bob Dylan. Parker's dress from Beckham's Spring 2010 collection was the perfect choice to meet First Lady Michelle Obama, who also looked stunning in one of her favorite go-to dresses-a violet polka dot dress by Jason Wu. This isn't the first time one of Victoria Beckham's designs have hit Washington-Jennifer Lopez wore a Beckham creation during her visit last September.

Mia Wasikowska may be a newcomer, but she certainly dressed the part of leading lady at last night's world premiere of Alice in Wonderland in London. The actress, who plays the titular role in the Tim Burton flick, walked the red carpet in a classic gown from the Valentino Haute Couture collection and changed into an edgy metallic jumper from RM by Roland Mouret for the after-party at the Sanderson Hotel. Wasikowska also debuted a new cropped 'do explaining simply, "I cut it off for a Gus Van Sant film I finished shooting a couple of months ago." According to one of her Alice co-stars, we're going to be seeing a lot more of her. "She's a sweet, wonderful girl," Anne Hathaway told reporters when asked about Wasikowska's star quality. "I think her life is about to change dramatically!" We can't wait to see what Mia will wear next!

I am loving all the cozy knits at Milan Fashion Week! This Prada look managed to be refined and comforting at the same time. The early 60s vibe of the beautiful hair and makeup, along with the sexy pointy shoes, also accentuated the interesting and fresh contrast.

Lady Gaga wowed us all when she teamed up exclusively with Giorgio Armani on her outfits for this year's Grammys, and we're excited to hear they've collaborated again! Armani designed four looks for the European leg of Gaga's Monster Ball tour, which began last week in the UK. She'll perform in two sparkly bodysuits (pictured), an iridescent minidress and a black patent trench, as well as custom shoes and sunglasses perfectly matched to each costume. The Gaga-Armani partnership isn't exclusive this time around-Prada also designed a hoop dress made of a slick plastic jersey blend for the superstar to wear on stage.

Back in December, we told you about Carrie Underwood's engagement to NHL player Mike Fischer-and we've got more pre-wedding buzz for you today. The Grammy winner is having a custom pair of faux lashes designed by celebrity lash expert, Stephen Moleski! "I sent lashes to her makeup artist, Melissa Schleicher. Carrie wore my lashes to the Grammys and fell in love with them," Moleski says. "Melissa and I decided to create a custom pair based on Carrie's favorite elements of existing styles." The special set will be a mix of Moleski's New York, Nashville, and Miami lashes ($13.50/each, smokeandmirrorsbeauty.com). "It's a tapered feathered lash-shorter on the inside corner, thick and fluffy everywhere else," he says. The good news for you? As soon as Underwood and Fischer tie the knot, the lashes will available to the public on Moleski's site.

Last night in London, supermodel Natalia Vodianova hosted the star-studded Love Ball, where proceeds from an auction benefited The Naked Heart Foundation, her charity that builds playgrounds for children in Russia. The most coveted item of the night? The Magic Moment necklace she co-designed with De Beers. The necklace’s name is inspired by an Alexander Pushkin love poem and features delicate diamond-studded chains and two pink-and-white heart shape diamonds. “Designing this piece with De Beers was an experience I will treasure forever,” Vodianova said. We love the versatility of the piece, which can be worn encircling the body (left) or as a pendant (right).
UPDATE: The De Beers Magic Moment Necklace designed by Natalia Vodianova raised $277,000. In total, the Love Ball raised more than $1.54 million for the charity.

In the Joan Jett-inspired movie, The Runaways, Kristen Stewart plays the music legend, Dakota Fanning plays band member Cherie Currie-and they both look incredibly '70s chic in this exclusive, never-before-seen photo from the set. "I designed The Runaways eyes around Make Up For Ever shadows," said Robin Mathews, makeup department head. For Stewart's smokey eyes, she smudged a mix of black liner and metallic taupe and brown black shadows on the lids. Fanning's eyes were rimmed in navy blue liner and topped with copper and blue shadows. The movie comes out March 19th, but for more tips straight from Mathews and a chance to hit the New York City premiere, check out these how-to videos.

Jean Paul Gaultier's Target collection mixes elements of edgy rock and roll with Hollywood glamour-and we can't get enough of it! (Not to mention, the $17.99 to $199.99 price range is easy to get behind.) For a tailored look, we love the pinstripe double-breasted jacket and matching shorts (far left), which pair casually with the gingham bustier and shrug (second from left). Mix patterns with the classic striped tank and the full floral skirt (third from left); for night, try the lingerie-inspired polka dot dress under the classic, yet ultra-cool trench (far right). Check out the entire collection before the line hits stores on March 7th.

No, Angelina Jolie didn’t get a new stylist-just a costume change. The star was spotted at a cafe in Paris in a cream pencil skirt, ladylike wrap and elegant coral scarf filming her new movie, The Tourist, which is out sometime next year. As the actress worked, Brad Pitt took Zahara and Shiloh on a girls-only shopping trip to exclusive boutiques on the Left Bank. Jolie and her family will head to Venice next, where she'll continue filming The Tourist for the next three months. Stay tuned for more set scoop from the sure-to-be-chic film!

In Fashionair.com's new Supermodel video series, Claudia Schiffer curls up on a couch and dishes on her journey to stardom-which started at a nightclub in her hometown of Dusseldorf. "If I hadn't gotten discovered at that nightclub, I wouldn't have become a model. I didn't think that would be an option for me," Schiffer said. Her introduction to Karl Lagerfeld was another career-making moment: "I was so scared to meet him because I had such respect and admiration for him. But he was so lovely and generous." Lagerfeld then asked the German beauty to walk in the Chanel Haute Couture show in 1990, and the rest, as they say, is history.

In her first short film, Mean to Me, British supermodel Agyness Deyn plays a 1930s courtesan faced with tough decisions in Manhattan. Her Zac Posen gowns, Mikimoto pearls and Guerlain makeup, however, are anything but hard knock. "I'm deeply inspired by 1930s cinema, and I wanted to create a story in which the female protagonist is a beautiful, glamorous woman with an intense, multi-faceted personality," said director Peter McGough. Deyn used his guidance to inspire her performance in the 13-minute film: "Seeing [Peter's] passion for the 1930s was like jumping into a time machine. He provided huge insight into the time," said the model. Mean to Me screens at NYC's Cheim & Reid gallery on March 4 before making the rounds at international film festivals.

What's the secret to Hollywood's best hair color? Perhaps the question is really who. Meet Rita Hazan, a New York-based colorist responsible for tons of celebrity strands. For our March issue, Hazan dished on her top clients:
1. Jennifer Lopez's sunny highlights: "When I started working with Jennifer in the '90s, I thought it would be fun to experiment with honey highlights. I had no idea it would become such a big part of her look," the colorist says. Now Lopez gets "inside highlights" that show when she flips her hair.
2. Rachel Weisz's bold espresso: Hazan gives Weisz a cool brown to avoid brassiness. "If it starts looking too inky, I'll break it up with subtle highlights," she says.
3. Jessica Simpson's buttery blond: "The first time Jessica came to see me amp#91;at age 18amp#93; was to fix a bleached-out platinum dye-job," says Hazan. Now Simpson receives a base of golden blond with paler blond highlights.

Sarah Jessica Parker launched her sixth fragrance, the Sex and the City-inspired SJP NYC. "We live in New York, which is a fragrant city, and some of the smells are good, while others are very bad. So we tried to capture the good," Parker told StyleList.com. The result? A sweet scent with notes of Italian mandarin, strawberries and honeysuckle. SJP NYC's breezy ad, which features Parker in a floral Oscar de la Renta dress, also embodies her inspiration. "I wanted to capture a freeze frame in Carrie's life. A snapshot of her walking down her favorite street in the spring, in a floral dress," she said. SJP NYC is now available at Macy's stores and at macys.com.

The one-of-a-kind accessory is studded with pave diamonds and amethyst rose de France stones, which are believed to have stress-reducing properties. Valued at $7,000, the compact's stones are set in 18kt rose-gold-plated silver, and will be presented to one of the following nominees: Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan or Gabourey Sidibe. Sure, an Oscar is an actor’s finest achievement-but diamonds are still a girl’s best friend.

SJP Meets Michelle Obama in Victoria Beckham
Sarah Jessica Parker lit up the East Room of the White House yesterday wearing a stunning red dress by Victoria Beckham. The Sex and the City actress was recognized by President Obama during the National Medal of Arts and National Humanities medal ceremony, which also honored Clint Eastwood and Bob Dylan. Parker's dress from Beckham's Spring 2010 collection was the perfect choice to meet First Lady Michelle Obama, who also looked stunning in one of her favorite go-to dresses-a violet polka dot dress by Jason Wu. This isn't the first time one of Victoria Beckham's designs have hit Washington-Jennifer Lopez wore a Beckham creation during her visit last September.

Natalia Vodianova’s Charity Necklace
Last night in London, supermodel Natalia Vodianova hosted the star-studded Love Ball, where proceeds from an auction benefited The Naked Heart Foundation, her charity that builds playgrounds for children in Russia. The most coveted item of the night? The Magic Moment necklace she co-designed with De Beers. The necklace’s name is inspired by an Alexander Pushkin love poem and features delicate diamond-studded chains and two pink-and-white heart shape diamonds. “Designing this piece with De Beers was an experience I will treasure forever,” Vodianova said. We love the versatility of the piece, which can be worn encircling the body (left) or as a pendant (right).
UPDATE: The De Beers Magic Moment Necklace designed by Natalia Vodianova raised $277,000. In total, the Love Ball raised more than $1.54 million for the charity.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: '70s Makeup from The Runaways
In the Joan Jett-inspired movie, The Runaways, Kristen Stewart plays the music legend, Dakota Fanning plays band member Cherie Currie-and they both look incredibly '70s chic in this exclusive, never-before-seen photo from the set. "I designed The Runaways eyes around Make Up For Ever shadows," said Robin Mathews, makeup department head. For Stewart's smokey eyes, she smudged a mix of black liner and metallic taupe and brown black shadows on the lids. Fanning's eyes were rimmed in navy blue liner and topped with copper and blue shadows. The movie comes out March 19th, but for more tips straight from Mathews and a chance to hit the New York City premiere, check out these how-to videos.

Claudia Schiffer Dishes on Her Career and Karl Lagerfeld
In Fashionair.com's new Supermodel video series, Claudia Schiffer curls up on a couch and dishes on her journey to stardom-which started at a nightclub in her hometown of Dusseldorf. "If I hadn't gotten discovered at that nightclub, I wouldn't have become a model. I didn't think that would be an option for me," Schiffer said. Her introduction to Karl Lagerfeld was another career-making moment: "I was so scared to meet him because I had such respect and admiration for him. But he was so lovely and generous." Lagerfeld then asked the German beauty to walk in the Chanel Haute Couture show in 1990, and the rest, as they say, is history.

Agyness Deyn Makes Fashionable Film Debut
In her first short film, Mean to Me, British supermodel Agyness Deyn plays a 1930s courtesan faced with tough decisions in Manhattan. Her Zac Posen gowns, Mikimoto pearls and Guerlain makeup, however, are anything but hard knock. "I'm deeply inspired by 1930s cinema, and I wanted to create a story in which the female protagonist is a beautiful, glamorous woman with an intense, multi-faceted personality," said director Peter McGough. Deyn used his guidance to inspire her performance in the 13-minute film: "Seeing [Peter's] passion for the 1930s was like jumping into a time machine. He provided huge insight into the time," said the model. Mean to Me screens at NYC's Cheim & Reid gallery on March 4 before making the rounds at international film festivals.

Hollywood's Top Colorist Dishes
What's the secret to Hollywood's best hair color? Perhaps the question is really who. Meet Rita Hazan, a New York-based colorist responsible for tons of celebrity strands. For our March issue, Hazan dished on her top clients:
1. Jennifer Lopez's sunny highlights: "When I started working with Jennifer in the '90s, I thought it would be fun to experiment with honey highlights. I had no idea it would become such a big part of her look," the colorist says. Now Lopez gets "inside highlights" that show when she flips her hair.
2. Rachel Weisz's bold espresso: Hazan gives Weisz a cool brown to avoid brassiness. "If it starts looking too inky, I'll break it up with subtle highlights," she says.
3. Jessica Simpson's buttery blond: "The first time Jessica came to see me amp#91;at age 18amp#93; was to fix a bleached-out platinum dye-job," says Hazan. Now Simpson receives a base of golden blond with paler blond highlights.

SJP Launches SATC Fragrance
Sarah Jessica Parker launched her sixth fragrance, the Sex and the City-inspired SJP NYC. "We live in New York, which is a fragrant city, and some of the smells are good, while others are very bad. So we tried to capture the good," Parker told StyleList.com. The result? A sweet scent with notes of Italian mandarin, strawberries and honeysuckle. SJP NYC's breezy ad, which features Parker in a floral Oscar de la Renta dress, also embodies her inspiration. "I wanted to capture a freeze frame in Carrie's life. A snapshot of her walking down her favorite street in the spring, in a floral dress," she said. SJP NYC is now available at Macy's stores and at macys.com.

Valued at $7,000, the compact's stones are set in 18kt rose-gold-plated silver, and will be presented to one of the following nominees: Sandra Bullock, Meryl Streep, Helen Mirren, Carey Mulligan or Gabourey Sidibe. Sure, an Oscar is an actor’s finest achievement-but diamonds are still a girl’s best friend.
