How come everyone’s loving the no pants revolution, and laughed at Sienna during her Edie-tribute days?
This is obviously a Team Sienna week.

Harper’s Bazaar names Stella best dressed
Ahhhhh, Harper’s Bazaar redeems itself. The UK one anyway.
It’s named Stella McCartney the best dressed woman of 2009, thanks to a panel of judges including Roland Mouret, Christopher Kane, Christian Louboutin, a Guardian columnist and HB editor Lucy Yeomans, the Telegraph reports.
What’s interesting about this award is that in addition to honoring Stella’s own personal style, she’s credited with helping other women look their best, a thoughtful spin on the “best dressed” title. And considering that some of those women include influential style setters themselves (Gwyneth, Kate Hudson), there just really wasn’t any other choice.

“Where the f*&! is my f*%^ing coat?!”
I usually start to get the itch to watch Love Actually in late October, when it finally gets a little chilly, at least at night. I try to abstain until December 1, but then I justify watching it a week or so before Thanksgiving so that I’ll have to time watch it again before Christmas. Anyway, what all of this has to do with anything is kind of a stretch, but one of my favorite characters in the movie, Natalie (who plays Hugh Grant’s love interest) is actually quite a big deal in England. Martine McCutcheon starred on BBC’s immensely popular EastEnders, is a pop singer, was Eliza Dolittle on the West End, has written a book (The Mistress comes out Noveber 6), and has “designed” her own collection for the UK department store Matalan.
“Indulgence” launches in January, and yes, it’ll be available online. Matalan looks to be a reasonably priced online shop, even when you consider the exchange rate, so here’s hoping!

Dear Glenda,
No, no, no, no, no, no, no.
That being said, if HB doesn’t survive the media crisis, know that you gave it your best shot.

Fashion and the White House
Photo Source: Inquisitr
Here’s something interesting. Did you know that the President’s Committee on the Arts and Humanities recognizes people we worship too? Michelle Obama is the current Honorary Chair (it’s always the First Lady, actually), but “private citizens,” aka mainstream celebrities, have also been appointed members by the President, including Kerry Washington, Forest Whitaker, Edward Norton, SJP, and Anna Wintour, as Fashionista and the NYT reported.
They’ve also thrown in a ballet dancer, politicians, philanthropist, architect and director for good measure, but it seems like the Hollywood and fashion crowds dominate this year. What do you think: is President Obama a closet SJP and Anna fan, or were those all Michelle’s picks?
(Oh! And where are the designers?)

Another case for dressing up, just because
In a particularly Edie-inspired moment, Sienna took her dog Bess for a walk in New York City recently in this outfit, effectively ending all excuses to schlep around in jeans and sweatshirts even when doing “chores.”

Pirelli 2010 Calendar will be unveiled November 19
The Pirelli calendar has been publishing NSFW (in varying degrees) but stunning photographs of the world’s most beautiful women since the 60s, and the 2010 release is just around the corner. On November 19, the calendar will be unveiled at a special event in London, and while it’s safe to say you may not be able to get a calendar yourself, you can see a preivew of the Terry Richardson photos at fashionising.com.
Rosie Huntington Whiteley, (ELLE Magazine’s 2009 Model of the Year), Abbey Lee, Daisy Lowe, Lily Cole, Miranda Kerr and others all posed for Terry in Brazil, and it’s pretty gorge (and pretty naked).

The new It bow
Everyone knows that Blair brought bows back, but what if you’re not of the UES prepster variety? Luckily, there’s a way to bring it back down to a more romantic, hippie level, or even use it to accessorize rock ‘n’ roll outfits. And here’s just the bow:
The Katie Bow is a metallic patented zipper headband by gla.MAR.ous, comes in silver and gold and is worn over your head like a crown, kind of like the boho bands that Mischa and Nicole wore, but not quite as LA. Each is just $22 and would make the perfect accompaniement to your Thanksgiving dinner or holiday party outfit, no?

The new Mally Beauty Fragrance
What if you could smell the way that Beyonce, Heidi and Angelina look? Each celeb has a very different look, but they do share the same make-up artist, Mally Roncal, a pretty fab lady who’s just launched her own perfume via QVC. It’s simply called the Mally Beauty Fragrance and is described as clean, fresh and citrusy, and runs for $59.16. The scent is based from the Sampaguita flower, the national flower of the Philippines and sometimes referred to as a type of jasmine. Sounds refreshing and sweet, and it’s always nice to hear about a career crossover from someone behind-the-scenes (read: a person who actually knows what they’re doing).
