If you like her scarf swag, get a similar essence with this $90 Matthew Williamson Ambroise Silk Printed option. It’s not a certified steal, but perhaps $90 is a small price to pay for a TV ready look.

Not convinced? Save on the rest of her outfit with these:

Beauty Verdict: Kelis vs. Cassie vs. Lala’s Shaved Styles

Our friends over at Stuff Fly People Like recently posted this picture:

Kelis Cassie Lala Shaved Heads

Apparently our Style File subject Lala has jumped on the shaved side train, even taking the look a step further by adding a few clean lines into the mix.

Kelis brought the edge, Cassie softened the spark, and now Lala makes the look super trendy.

What do you think bombshells? Is the look edgy or are you over it?

Most importantly: would you rock it?

The clutches’ stylized multicolored peacock feather glitters against a smoky topaz-hued pavé background, providing a dash of drama to any evening outfit. $1,400 buys you a purse fully covered in Austrian crystals; perhaps the glittering pen and detachable silvertone chain justify the price?

Adriana’s Life: André Leon Talley at NYC “Valentino” Screening

On Sunday night, I made my way to SoHo to view the “Valentino: The Last Emperor” screening at the Angelika. I was super-excited about the film and hoped I’d get to chat up ALT himself, who hosted a Q&A right after the movie. Lo and behold…

If I look shell-shocked, that’s because I was! Mr. Talley was gracious enough to pose for a pic but, alas, was in too much of a rush after the event ended to give a Fashion Bomb exclusive. Maybe next time…
Valentino: The Last Emperor” is sumptuous: chock-full of laughs, tears, and fabulous fashion. It revolves around the deisgner’s relationship with his longtime partner, Giancarlo Giammetti, as well as his retirement in 2007. Cameos galore and and an inside look at how Valentino plies his craft and managed to stay at the top of his game for 45 years. A *must-watch* for stylephiles!
