Here are some photos from the red carpet for last night’s White House Correspondents’ Dinner, the annual event where Washington journalists, Hollywood types and politicians come together to get really drunk. Every year, there are more and more celebrities invited to this thing, but please, don’t even blame the White House for that. Most of the celebrities in attendance were guests of the media outlets, who try to out-do one another by inviting bigger and bigger stars or whatever reality show “celebrity” will get them press. Unfortunately, most Washington photojournalists have no idea how to take photos for a fashion-heavy event, which is why we don’t have many beauty shots. Anyway, here’s Katy Perry in Giambattista Valli. Katy might have been the best-dressed woman at the event, quite honestly.

Kerry Washington in Wes Gordon. Please do not create some elaborate conspiracy theory about Kerry and Obama. Kerry plays a woman having an affair with a fictional president in Scandal. It’s not real life! That being said, I’m suspicious because her bangs look like Mobama’s.

Sofia Vergara in… I don’t know, can’t find the ID. She looks pretty.

Sharon Stone looking like Cruella de Vil.

Rebel Wilson in Theia – now, Rebel WAS a guest of Michelle Obama.

Julie Bowen in Monique Lhuillier – her hair is wrong, but otherwise she looks fine.

Claire Danes in Prada – I like it! Hugh Dancy needs some facial hair or something.

Connie Britton in Temperley London. Pretty color, but it seems like it’s too tight.

Elizabeth Banks in Roland Mouret. I don’t like her new hair color and I think this salmon/orange is wrong for her coloring.

And here’s the Duck Dynasty guy and his wife.

Here are photos of Duchess Kate, Prince Harry and Prince William at the “inauguration” of the new Warner Brothers Studio in London. For whatever reason, this event brought out the worst in almost all of Duchess Kate’s bad habits. She wore a short dress that she was constantly adjusting and fooling with so it didn’t blow up and show her knickers, which is bad enough but especially peasant-y when you’re pregnant, right? When she wasn’t adjusting her dress, she was touching her hair. And in between hair-touching and skirt adjusting, she was looking adoringly at Harry (not William). It’s weird because she really has gotten better at doing solo appearances, right? But when she’s around the royal family, her little quirks/self-comforting mannerisms come out.

Anyway, Kate’s polka-dotted dress is by Topshop and it only costs £38. She paired it with a Ralph Lauren jacket which I’m sure is much more expensive. I don’t hate the mix of high-end and low-end at all. I don’t even mind the polka dots – this would have been really cute if only the dress were just a few inches longer. Just to her knees! Then it would have been appropriate and lovely. She wore her hair down, of course, which is okay for a day event. I think she’s weaning herself off of sausage curls too – she’s still curling her hair, but she’s brushing out the curls so that she achieves a more “wavy/bedhead” look. It’s pretty. My hair does that naturally when it’s humid.

While at the newly opened studio, Harry, William and Kate took a tour that included seeing Batman and Harry Potter paraphernalia and lots of other stuff. The Mail says that William and Harry were most interested in the “tumbler” from Batman – otherwise known as the Batmobile. You can read more about the event and see more photos here.

This was my thought process as I began to look through these photos of Gwyneth Paltrow at last night’s LA premiere of Iron Man 3… “… Black & white…? OK, Goop. Colors are for peasants… Oh, her dress is full-length. I guess she wanted everyone to know she’s THE STAR by wearing a proper gown… Yay, sleeves!….this isn’t so ba-OMG GOOP BUTT.”

Right? It sort of hits you all of a sudden that Gwyneth is literally showing us her Goop Butt. The dress is Antonio Berardi Fall 2013. I’m guessing the designer would have lined the thing, but Gwyneth was all “I’ll wear this straight off the runway and show everyone my Goop Butt and Goop Biscuit.” I hope the dress has some built-in panties (??) because if it doesn’t, Gwyneth was flashing her bits and pieces all night.

So, overall, what do you think of the dress? Even though I’m looking at Goop Butt, I kind of don’t hate it. This is one of Gwyneth’s strengths as a celebrity: she dares to wear interesting clothes and she’s not afraid of wearing controversial gowns. Sometimes it works out for her, sometimes it doesn’t, but I like her style boldness. My biggest problem with this whole ensemble isn’t the Goop Butt, it’s the terrible shoes!!! Those things look cheap and stripper-tastic. And of course, I’m sick of her flat-ironing and center-part. This whole look feels very ‘90s, right?

PS… Two different earrings!

So much work! Duchess Kate must be exhausted. I wrote that first as a joke statement, but in actuality, I bet she is genuinely tired. Three appearances in four days plus she’s pregnant! Someone needs a trip to Mustique! Anyway, these are photos of Kate last night in London. She was attending a “champagne reception” for the National Portrait Gallery, one of her patronages. She loves representing museums and such because she gets to dress up in fancy clothes.

But… is it just me or is this a weird choice for what I’m assuming is a fancy cocktail party for a major museum? The dress is Emilia Wickstead, and overall it’s a lovely dress. I don’t think pregnant women necessarily have to dress in pastels and cutesy colors, but if they want to, God bless. This shade of blue – I consider it just a hair lighter than robin’s egg blue – looks beautiful on her. I’m always surprised that she doesn’t wear more shades of blue, given that most shades of blue look great on her and she loves to show off her gigantic sapphire engagement ring. And we also have to give Kate credit for not wearing a mini. It feels weird saying that, but she had a bad run of nearly showing off her babymaker in several miniskirts, so the hemline must be discussed. I’m fine with this length. Everything about this is flattering and simple. Too simple for a fancy cocktail party though? Unknown.

We should also discuss her HAIR. I think her hair looks particularly beautiful here. You know how much I love it when she pulls it back – this is just the kind of hairstyle she should do whenever she makes a speech (because she’s always looking down at her notes). I love that she didn’t just throw it back in a clip – there are some twirls and twists going on. I think she looks so much prettier styled like this. It’s a more mature look too, not so college-girl-always-playing-with-her-hair.

Apparently, this event was partially to celebrate The Art Room, and Kate made another speech! This is one quote from the speech: “I am a firm believer in the power of art to make a difference and The Art Room makes this on a daily basis.” You can read more here.

PS… Where the F is William these days? Kate has been doing so many solo events!

Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop Butt ruled the red carpet for the LA premiere of Iron Man 3 last night, but some people still tried to get attention. Like, for instance, the actual star of Iron Man, Robert Downey Jr. RDJ walked the red carpet with his wife Susan Downey. And when I say “walked” I mean “he couldn’t keep his hands off of her.” Susan is so lucky.

There were other hot dudes at the premiere too, like Guy Pearce! I love Guy, but he’s looking pretty rough-and-tumble here.

Don(g) Cheadle, with his undercover assets.

Here’s Bella Thorne in Katie Ermilio Spring 2013. I don’t really know who she is, so this it only notable to me because OMG that dress is horrible.

Jamie Alexander in a really budget looking dress… but I think the color is probably “on trend” because I’ve been seeing shades of goldenrod everywhere lately.

Kat Dennings… everyone knows her for her boobs, so it’s kind of disappointing to see her covered-up, although I understand that she probably doesn’t want to just be “the girl with the huge rack.” Still, if she wanted to cover up, she could have found a cuter dress, right?

Rebecca Hall in Prada Fall 2013. Much better than her appearance at the UK premiere.

Here are some photos from last night’s Time Magazine “100 Most Influential People” Gala in NYC. This is not a fashion event. You can tell because the fashion is AWFUL and because Sen. Rand Paul was there. Sen. Paul is on the list… and Claire Danes is not. Claire was there to honor Lena Dunham, I think? Anyway, Claire wore this Lanvin dress which I had to examine very closely. Maybe it’s just me, but I’ve starting to think that Lanvin really sucks. Much like Erdem, it’s become a really overrated label and this dress is a good example why. Claire can wear all kinds of looks and pull them off – she’s just got that kind of body and face. But even she can’t pull off this fugness. It’s like they were trying to make a hideous dress and Claire is trying to be avant-garde by wearing it. Her husband looks cute though!

Here’s Lena Dunham in Saint Laurent. This just looks awful on her. I think I’m starting to “get” what she’s aiming for, style-wise, but I wish she would rethink the look she’s failing to pull off. Instead of going for some twee hipster look, I wish she would aim for “classic, flattering”. I do think her hair looks sort of cute here though.

Padma Lakshmi in… an optical illusion dress (I can’t find the ID). The dress is bad enough, but her styling just seems meh. What’s with her hair?

Olivia Munn in Michael Kors. I had to do a double-check to make sure Olivia wasn’t included on Time’s Most Influential list. She’s not on the list. Thank God. Her Kors dress is terrible.

Tracy Anderson AAARRGH!!!

It’s insane to me how Duchess Kate still looks so slim. I’m not saying it’s a conspiracy or anything, and I’m not even accusing her of “dieting” while pregnant. I’m sure she’s eating properly and she’s probably even giving into some cravings for pastries or chocolate. I’m sure she’s just got that kind of body type which makes it look like she’s carrying really small. But it’s still startling. These are photos of Kate at Willows Primary School in Manchester earlier today. Kate wore Erdem – I’m not crazy about the (£1,065) dress, but I think this is something new, at least. You can see some other photos of the dress here – I can’t believe how expensive it is! You’re going to pay more than $1500 for THAT? I’m also thankful she’s not wearing the same LK Bennett nude heels we’ve seen a million times, although I’m sure we’ve seen these navy heels before – she’s not a shoe person. At all. Here’s more about her trip:

The Duchess of Cambridge has been receiving countless gifts ahead of her baby’s arrival in July, but on Tuesday she was given something for the other little darling in her life – her beloved Cocker Spaniel, Lupo.

As Kate was heralded by hundreds of excited children celebrating St. George’s Day, she was presented with a basket of goodies for the royal pup.

Among those greeting her at Manchester’s Willows Primary School on Tuesday was student Chloe Pomret, 10, who joined the school’s “executive dog,” a Cavalier King Charles Spaniel named Henry, to present the expectant mother with roses and gifts for Lupo.

“Henry, you have gone to so much trouble,” Kate, 31, said with a laugh, upon greeting the school’s dog.

Dressed in a floral frock by Erdem and blue suede heels, Kate – and her ever-growing baby bump – arrived at the school after traveling from London via train.

The Duchess visited the school to launch a new counseling program, which will see two of her own charities – Place2Be and Action on Addiction – partner with with the Royal Foundation (run alongside her husband Prince William and Prince Harry) and Comic Relief.

On April 11, the day Kate’s visit was announced, Willows Primary School – which is located in Wythenshawe estate (the setting for the British TV show Shameless) – was the target of vandals, when a fire was set to the new $60,000 playground.

The crime was a blow to students, teachers and parents.

“It was such a shame as the school has been so inspirational that there hasn’t been any trouble for many, many years,” head teacher Anne Whitehead said. “But the way the community has rallied round has been remarkable and so heartening. We have received so much in the way of donations that we are going to be able to build an extension to the playground, which is marvelous.”

Oh, it’s nice that she got the memo about how she travels. It’s nice that she took the train as opposed to taking a private helicopter everywhere. Also: she came from London! Ha! Because she’s just a housewife in Wales, remember? Seriously, when is she EVER in Wales? I called it way back when they announced that they would be living in Wales for the first years of their marriage – Kate loves London. She tried to play the “I’m just a military wife, living in the country” card but she was always in London.

Something nice: it’s good to see a surge of public appearances from Kate lately. And by that I mean that she’s averaging about two a week for the past month. Still, it’s better than nothing, I guess, and we’ll be able to reuse these photos when she goes on maternity leave.

Here are some photos from the E! Upfronts, which were surprisingly well-attended. The “Upfronts” are so that the stars of E! can meet with advertisers and media to promote their new seasons or upcoming shows. E!’s lineup involves a truck full of Kardashians, the Jonas boys, Ryan Lochte, Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne and Chelsea Handler. A who’s who of the C-list, basically. So let’s start with Kim Kardashian because, hand to God, she’s the most famous person in this group. I don’t understand why Kim insists on full skirts while pregnant. Even though she’s not carrying the same way as Duchess Kate, she should take one tip from Kate’s maternity style: a slimmer cut will make you look smaller. Kim shouldn’t use that advice to stuff herself into a dress that looks like sausage casing, but I would like to see her in a simple, clingy maxi dress.

Lucifer’s homegirl Kris Jenner in her daughter’s Valentino dress.

Chelsea Handler actually looks pretty good… for her. Haha, remember when she thought she was going to have some big acting career and that she was too good for E? I love it.

If Giuliana Rancic weighs more than 100 pounds, I will eat my hat.

Ryan Lochte is a puppy. A dumb puppy who licks himself and then wants to give you kisses. A puppy who barks at his own shadow. But he’s harmless.

Kevin Jonas and his wife are… awkward, right?

OMG Kelly Osbourne put the bronzer DOWN. Also, change your hairstyle. And your dress. And those shoes!!

Yay, new Duchess Kate photos! Believe it or not, I really do get excited when we have new photos of Kate, especially when she’s wearing a never-before-seen outfit! I always imagine that her closet is full of outfits that we’ve never seen, but she saves them for her vacations. These are photos of Kate yesterday at Windsor Castle, where she took over an event which the Queen was supposed to host – the Queen pulled out of the event, I guess because it was her birthday and she wanted to celebrate quietly (and without Kate!). Kate hosted a “national celebration for scouts who have achieved the Queen’s Scout Award“. Kate also got to mingle with a celebrity too, in the form of Chief Scout Bear Grylls, who is absolutely adorable in his scout’s uniform.

Kate wore this Mulberry maternity dress. From the front, it looks like it’s a two-piece suit, but it’s not. It’s all one-piece, and the “jacket” is just a weird styling design. Shall we discuss the buttons? Or should we just let Kate’s Button Problem exist? I kind of give her a pass on the buttons for this outfit because I think it’s probably difficult for her to find maternity suits and dresses that aren’t too cutesy and buttony, you know? I do like the bright color on her, and we’ve seen the hat before (several times before).

Behold, the royal baby bump! Six months into her first pregnancy, Kate Middleton is finally really showing — and it suits her well. On Sunday, April 21, the expectant Duchess of Cambridge attended the annual National Review of Queen’s Scouts at Windsor Castle, where she offered one of the best glimpses yet of her growing belly.

Stylish as usual in a mint-green Mulberry cotton-tweed coat, a Whiteley Cappuccino pill box hat, and her favorite LK Bennett “Sledge” heels, the 31-year-old first-time mom-to-be looked radiant and healthy. She smiled widely as she mingled with some of the nearly 3,000 guests who had gathered to watch the parade, which honors young Scouts for their outstanding personal achievements.

The Duchess — who volunteers with the Scout Association and recently took part in a training day at a Scout camp outside London — assisted in handing out the Queen’s Scouts Awards, the highest possible honors for young Scouts. She also met with Chief Scout Bear Grylls, of the show Man vs. Wild, who became one of the U.K.’s youngest Chief Scouts in 2009 at the age of 34. Grylls said Middleton had been “an incredible role model” within the organization and credited her with showing people that “Scouting’s not just for boys.”

“She’s also such a generous volunteer and everyone is so excited to have her in the Scouting family,” he raved. “Many people have followed her lead and are getting involved and enjoying the adventure.”

Prior to the event, Prince William’s wife visited Queen Elizabeth, who turned 87 on Sunday. A Buckingham Palace rep tells Us Weekly that Her Majesty is “celebrating privately at Windsor Castle.”

[From Us Weekly]

Kate probably does enjoy the Scouting stuff, even though she’s yet to attend a red-carpet gala for the organization! Still, work with the Scouts provides for some very good photo-ops when one has been caught shopping every day in a given week. You know we’ve only got a month more of this stuff before she goes on “maternity leave” right?

Here are some photos from last night’s premiere of A Case of You at the Tribeca Film Festival. Evan Rachel Wood debuted her sizeable baby bump last week as Tribeca opened, and I thought she looked so beautiful in those photos. She looks really pretty in these pics too – her gown is Dolce & Gabbana… because she’s still the face of D&G fragrances, I think. It’s flowery and definitely maternity-wear, and she looks so… radiant. For me, ERW is the prettiest pregnant lady these days. I know it’s not a competition or anything, but Vanity Fair did just “rank” pregnant-celebrity style and it’s a shame that ERW didn’t even make the list.

I think Busy Phillips is probably going to give birth any second now. And I have a wave of empathy for how uncomfortable she must be, and how difficult it is for her to find a cute outfit. That being said, this jumpsuit is a trainwreck.

And here are your boyfriends Peter Dinklage and Sam Rockwell, at the same premiere. HOT.
