The event is held in celebration of menswear that helps fund the Foundation’s AIDS research programs. Sleeping Beauty star Emily Browning arrived with boyfriend Max Irons and opted for a matching black-and-white get-up. Unlike the other guests, the 22-year-old Australian actress did away with draped ball gowns, dazzling jewelry, and a fancy hair-do. Instead, she dressed comfortably in a Louis Vuitton fall 2011 playsuit complete with a gem-cut LV clutch and peep-toe pumps over knee-high tights. The rather somber and gray attire left Browning standing in the shadows of the brighter-dressed, like Diane Kruger in a fiery red YSL gown, and even Fergie who also sported an all-black LV ensemble.

- There seems to be a lot of changes in Jennifer Aniston's life these days with her new boyfriend, Justin Theroux, by her side. One of these changes just so happens to be a tattoo! Yup, Jen got inked! The tattoo is on her right foot and reads "Norman" after her beloved dog who died back in May. It's Jen's first tattoo and is a good way for her to remember her pup. What do you guys think of Jen's tattoo? Would you ever get your dog's name tattooed on you? (people)

- It seems this year’s resort looks are just what we’re wanting for the sunniest season of the year—hair wise. Casual, tousled waves made an appearance at a staggering number of shows this season. Frankly, we think it’s fantastic that such a languid hair style has been the style of choice. It’s summer, and we don’t want to put any more work into our hair than necessary.

- Some of our fave celebs have been rockin' peep-toe shoes and we love it! We love how the peep-toe shows off a hint of your foot (and your cute pedi) but is more structured than the usual pair of strappy heels. Do you want to know how to style this shoe trend? Check out these celebs that loves the peep-toe shoe and how they wear them!

Norma Kamali
It’s officially summer and there’s just one week left until the fourth of July so we asked Norma Kamali, maker of some of the world’s most famous swimsuits, for her tips on looking great in very small pieces of fabric.
Swimwear is the least amount of clothing you will wear outside of the home. We reveal a lot about ourselves in the choice of swimsuit we wear so ideally you’d start by setting a date in your calendar one month before you plan to start shopping. On that day, I’d recommend standing nude in front of the mirror and evaluating yourself. Take a photo and look at it objectively and you will know the work you need to do to feel good about revealing so much of yourself literally and metaphorically. Once the picture’s taken, the challenge begins.

When Hailee Steinfeld started hitting the red carpet in Miu Miu’s best looks, and then popped up at the brand’s fall fashion show in March, we guessed she’d make the perfect face of Prada’s little sister. Just a few months later the fourteen-year-old Academy Award nominated actress has made her fashion campaign debut. Bruce Weber shot Steinfeld in what looks like a scene from her breakout film, True Grit. In the past, Mert and Marcus have shot Miu Miu’s starlet filled campaigns—Katie Holmes, Lindsay Lohan, Kirsten Dunst—in front of vamp backgrounds with high fashion makeup and plenty of gloss. Steinfeld, however, is all natural in front of Weber’s camera. She’s wearing black, with the trompe l’oeil glitter wedges that are sure to be fall’s must have shoe and a giant brown velvet clutch. We’re liking this new direction. You?

- This week's Celeb, Jon Hamm, is best known for his role as Don Draper on the TV Show "Mad Men." We really fell in love with Don and wished ourselves back in the the 1960s so we could hang out with him and dress like Betty! But Jon is also a hilarious comedian! Jon has guest starred on 30 Rock and SNL and you can see him more recently in the hit comedy, Bridesmaids!
We think Jon is so hot, and the funny thing is that Mad Men creator, Matthew Weiner almost didn't cast him because of his looks. Matthew thought Jon was too handsome (haha, so true) and later decided, "it was perfect to cast sort of the perfect male in this part." And we totally agree!

- This is the best we've seen Katie Holmes look in awhile. Recently at the Women in Film Awards, Kate wore this black and white outfit and she looks great! She's been a bit off her game in the fashion world but we think you can never go wrong with black and white! What do you guys think of Katie's look, hot or not?

In this net-obsessed time in history, the web’s become an unquenchable beast, and it’s time to take the bull by its horns, fashion lovers. Ford Models said it best when they tweeted: “At this point if you’re in fashion or follow it and not on the Twitter, then have fun hanging out with stegosaurus & triceratops…”
The same can be said about the ever-developing blogosphere, and Wikifashion is on the verge of being your one-stop, tell-all fashion site. Modeled around our favorite go to source of info (for every project, test or paper) Wikipedia, Wikifashion allows you to catalogue your favorite brands, fashion designers, and shows from season to season. Free of bias and advertising, this site is a breath of fresh air.
ELLEgirl caught up with Madeline Veenstra, creator of Wikifashion alongside co-creator and favorite technie Coen Hyde, to chat about the site’s beginnings and its well-deserved future.
