Custo Barcelona – Smint Cross Tee – $28
Back in the early ‘80s, Custo Dalmau and his brother, David, traveled the world and fell in love with California. They adored surfer style and San Francisco psychedelia. So they went back to their homeland of Spain and launched a line of tops and tees with intricate, splashy images.

Victoria Beckham can create celebrity fashion trends simply by stepping out of a limo, and once again, she’s causing stylist’s scissors to start warming up from coast to coast as celebrities and stylish women everywhere rave over the new “bed head bob.”
Beckham debuted the new style at a recent LG Fashion Touch party. Stylist Ken Paves summed up his design approach: “I decided the hair needed to be clean, simple with some slight texture to seem effortless, just like the clothes!”
Amen to that! Summer hair should be imperfect, toussled as if you have far better things to do than wield styling tools, and it should have a sense of fun. The multiple layers, with slight waves are a delightful change from Beckham’s more “done” looks over the past few seasons. Most people think of celebrity clothing when they think of Victoria Beckham, but she may have women everywhere asking their hair stylists for “the Victoria” pretty soon!

I’m aware that the idea of a denim dress sounds like a rejected fad from the 80s not worthy of reviving, or something horrendous your mother used to dress you up in for Picture Day at school… but this season’s denim dresses are nothing to scoff at! Chambray, stretch denim, and a variety of light and dark washes makes the material more versatile than ever for a slew of different dress styles, from body-con and bustier to even cowled-neck and cocktail! Chic details like sweet ruffles and exposed zippers make the look anything but dated and transform the traditionally casual fabric to something unexpectedly upscale!
I love the versatility of this Anlo Ruffle Neck Dress, available at Nordstrom — its ability to be easily dressed up or down, depending on the use of some strategic summer accessories, make it the perfect summer buy. It would be the perfect dress to rock at a 4th of July barbecue with a pair of cork wedges! For a sexier night-out look, the Nanette Lepore Bell Dive Dress hugs the body in all the right ways and adds visual interest with an exposed zipper down the front. Whether casual or dressy, this season’s dresses are bound to change your perception of denim!

In recent celebrity fashion news, Jennifer Lopez knocks it out of the park once again. The red-hot singer wore a skin-tight dress by Gianfranco Ferré, ultra-sexy black platform pumps and a clutch purse by Etro for a benefit concert at NYC’s Apollo theatre recently. Notice how she kept the fashion accessories simple and let the dress be the star. That’s the best way to do gilded creations like this dress.
Lopez and husband Marc Anthony were recipients of the Ruby Dee & Ossie Davis Arts and Humanitarian Award at a ceremony that also honored the work of Aretha Franklin and the late Michael Jackson, both of whom were inducted into the Apollo Hall of Fame.
With her hair worn in long loose waves, and make-up emphasizing her eyes, Lopez made the perfect counterpoint with toned down lips and somehow managed to look both smashingly sexy and slightly demure at the same time – a sort of hybrid of a young Sophia Loren and Brigitte Bardot as she looked in Masculin, Féminin. Clearly marriage and motherhood have only made a positive impact on Lopez’s look!
Gianfranco Ferré, from the Italian city of Legano, is one of those fashion designers who knows how to skillfully mix tasteful, classic, and drop-dead gorgeous. Like another master of style named Tom Ford, Ferré studied architecture. He started his fashion empire making belts and jewelry, and pretty soon he was working with giants like Karl Lagerfeld. Extravagent fabrics, and extravagant colors like gold are prominent in his work, and both are perfectly showcased in J Lo’s dress at the Apollo event.
Do her hair and makeup signal a slight shift away from the over-glammed look that has dominated for so long? Well, she’s always been a maker of celebrity fashion trends, so you never know. At any rate, the non-trout lips in a blushy neutral are a refreshing change, and she’s never looked better. If you want to know the latest in celebrity fashion style, check out the latest being worn by trendsetters like Jennifer Lopez.

In America: Gary & Tony Have a Baby
Gary Spino and Tony Brown have fought for gay rights all of their lives, but these days one of the most radical things a gay person can do is form a traditional family – and that’s precisely what they want. We follow Gary and Tony on their struggle to have a baby that has a biological and legal connection to both of them. They spend a small fortune hiring an egg donor, a surrogate, and face a string of court battles. But all the medical miracles and legal maneuvering can’t guarantee the approval of the people around them… or even a baby.
