Chic Report

Annie Hathaway (absolutely divine in Les Misérables!) covers the February issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK shot by David Slijper. The future Oscar winner (trust us, loves!) talks about her newbie husband Adam Shulman to the Brits telling them she fell for her guy right away: ”I knew from the second I met him that he was the love of my life.” Isn’t that precious? Hathaway will next be seen in the biopic of Liza Minnelli’s life story. (We kid, we kid, but that picture is soooooo young Liza.)

Chic’s life hasn’t been the same since body language expert Patti Wood has come into our world. We showed her this pic of Anna and Marc to find out what’s really going on when the photogs are snapping away.

If Chic knows one thing, it’s that being really, really rediculously good looking is a hard hand to play. Take David Gandy for example. The top male model has suffered tremendous pains in the ‘biz all because he’s a man…a very sexy man. “People still just think Zoolander,” David Gandy reports to UK’s Sunday Times Style.

Chic has a confession! Stella McCartney’s pre-fall 2011 collection made us swoon like a pre-teen at a Bieber concert. Gone were the popped-collar denim separates and Hampton-approved prints of spring. (Sad? Non!) In their place, was a modern bent on classic Stella-isms we’ve always adored: boxy double-breasted overcoats, lacy party frocks, mannish blazers tailored to sophistication, and knit sweater dresses swathed in vermillion, midnight, camel, and emerald. For fall, expect more ladylike dressing from Ms. McCartney accented with edgey metal-trimmed handbags (like her famous Falabella in “ox blood” crimson) and capes. Lots of capes!

If you know of a Mommy who needs to step up her fab, Alice + Olivia’s Stacey Bendet has come to the rescue. This week, she shares her Mommy must haves. Motherhood has never been so Chic.

Even though Tavi is in the midst of studying for finals, the self-proclaimed pretentious teenager did manage to update her blog this week. Hurray! What was our favorite gem from the style rookie? “This morning I had Joni Mitchell stuck in my head and wanted to be comfy and decided to pretend it’s warm out,” the blogger wrote. OK then! Thanks for sharing.

Steven Meisel has shot another spring campaign for Louis Vuitton marking a three-peat for the Meisel-Jacobs coupling. The sultry Asian-infused ad features Rachel Zimmerman, Kristen McMenamy, and a foxy silver-haired Freja Beha Erichsen, who’s causing waves among twenty-somethings for her granny-chic ‘do.

Not since Meryl Streep in the Devils Wear Prada have we heard of such inspired casting. Sitting down? The legendary Miss Piggy will play a French Vogue editor in the upcoming film The Muppets. What’s not to love? It was reported last year that Miss Piggy’s character ends up becoming a Lady Gaga-esque character living in Europe. The film co-written and starring The Hangover’s Jason Segel opens on November 23rd

Designing duo and real-life besties Carly Cushnie and Michelle Ochs of Cushnie et Ochs reveal a few of their favorite things.

Chic welcomes Tony Award winner, Good Wife star and dear ami to the fashion world Alan Cumming to our panel of columnists. We’ve asked Alan to help you solve problems grande and petite in “Dear Alan.” Think “Dear Abby,” but not boring.
