Olivia Wilde is one step closer to her upcoming wedding with SNL star Jason Sudeikis. According to The Post, the bride-to-be opened up about her big day at a bash on Monday night celebrating her Marie Claire April cover. The celeb nuptials have been set for Spring 2014 in upstate New York, and Wilde has chosen Monique Lhuillier to design her bridesmaid dresses.

Another day, another award for Reed Krakoff! The designer and patron of the arts is being honored by The Whitney Museum at a gala dinner being held on April 16th at Highline Stages. The award will be presented by The Robert Mapplethorpe Foundation to Krakoff alongside fellow honorees Martin Z. Margulies, a Miami-based developer, and attorney Michael Ward Stout.

Elle’s latest “Women in Music” issue anointed Adele as one of its three cover girls, and the results of the Thomas Whiteside-shot cover are pretty stunning. We’d like to be bathed in this kind of buttery, uber-flattering sunlight all the time, s’il vous plait! Inside the glossy, everyone from Britney Spears to Barbra Streisand to John Mayer waxes poetic about the chanteuse (as did Lea Michele and Katy Perry).

You know the dealio…It’s another round of Shoe Dat! Can you guess which partygoer wore these Prada Spring 2013 platforms at the New York Academy of Art’s Tribeca Ball last night? Here’s a hint: In 1994, this photog produced the Post Card Series for Comme des Garçons for the brand’s Fall 1994–95 collections in collaboration with Rei Kawakubo. Give up? Find out in our Gallery!

At last night’s “From Scotland With Love: The Scottish Lion Meets The Asian Dragon” extravaganza, there was plaid on plaid on plaid (but of course!) and a generous helping of men in kilts. This catwalk bow shot featuring Zang Toi (he skirts up quite well, non?) and a trio of mods in Far East and Scottish garb captures the joie.

Haute alert! Thandie Newton made a PA in Cannes yesterday to promote her new three-part television series, Rogue, about an undercover agent gone, well, rogue. The British actress showed her patriotic colors in a stunning red and white ensemble from Temperley London’s Spring 2013 collection. Encore!

We’ll have what she’s having. In the case of Glenda Bailey’s ebullient moment du applause, that would involve the annual New York Academy of Art’s Tribeca Ball, featuring a din whipped up by Daniel Boulud. The event was presented by Van Cleef & Arpels and honoring Bob Colacello. Whenever you need a LOL break at Bazaar, just give us a ring, Glenda.

Ever wonder if your closet controls you or if you’re truly the master of your style sensibility? A Parsons prof and TJ Maxx spent some time pondering that quandary, and the verdict is in your favor. According to Dr. Hazel Clark, Parsons’ research chair of fashion, 87 percent of us (truly) own our wardrobes. Go you! Celeb stylist Leslie Fremar is all about the individual style schtick, and is a Maxxinista apparently as well. “”Places like T.J.Maxx serve as a playground of possibilities filled with the great quality, designer items at incredible prices, so that they have more opportunities to express their various personal style personas,” Fremar said in the study. Designer discount shopping as an adult playground of sorts? Sure, though sometimes it resembles a brawl breaking out by the monkey bars when a stash of Chloe or plentiful dose of Prada is discovered…

Guess who? Friday night’s Save Venice Black & White Masquerade Ball at The Pierre hotel was a fashion face off of New York society’s who’s who behind the mask. The chic affair, which is held each year to raise funds to preserve the cultural and artistic heritage of Venice, was sponsored by Ferrari, Harry Winston and Lanvin.

Tale of the dueling docs! Two biopics on late designer Yves Saint Laurent are set for release in 2014, and both are set to be titled simply Yves Saint Laurent, according to Vogue UK. The two films are causing quite a stir having ruffled the feathers of both Pierre Bergé and Francois Henri-Pinault. The first film, directed by Jalil Lespert will star French actor Pierre Niney
