ELLE

Calvin Klein Collection kept Reese Witherspoon looking red hot on the red carpet at last night’s 20th annual ELLE Women In Hollywood Celebration at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. It was a busy night for our friends at Calvin who also wardrobed Lea Michele, Forest Whitaker, Laura Dern, Jessica Paré, Emilia Clarke, Brie Larson, Zoey Deutch, Gia Coppola, James Marsden, Joy Bryant, Rachel Zoe, Joe Zee, Anne Slowey, and Robbie Myers.

Brazilian designer Ana Khouri’s baubles are the most buzzed about pieces in the fine jewelry world this year. The Daily has been seeing Khouri everywhere from dinners hosted by ELLE to New York Fashion Week, where she hosted a presentation in her chic pad at the Time Warner Residences overlooking Central Park. Not to mention all of those features she’s been raking up in major fashion and lifestyle mags like W, Interview, and Vogue. Net-A-Porter has already caught on and Barneys just threw a fashionable fête last night at Indochine (see our Gallery!) to announce their own launch with the designer. The Daily caught up with her to see how she’s managing her soaring success.

A duo of Hollywood’s leading ladies, a megastylist, his boss, and a supermod weigh in on FMA winner Joe Zee, this year’s Creative Director Of The Year. Take it away, Jess! “Joe would be unstoppable if only he had excellent taste, a charmingly sadistic personality, infectious energy, and endless ideas.

In the past six months, one-man multimedia platform Joe Zee redesigned Elle, launched a new reality show, founded a fashion summer camp, and styled half of Hollywood. Is he making the rest of us look bad? Kind of! Is he redefining what a creative director can be? Elle yeah, he is!

More TV for Joe Zee! ELLE magazine’s creative director is headed to Sundance this time with a new series called “Revealing: Extravagance”. Zee will be talking with everyone from Zac Posen and Valerie Steele to Iman, Narciso Rodriguez, and Carolina Herrera to name a few. Plus, this time around there will be no young designer hopefuls frantically trying to make a name for themselves. The series will instead focus on social experiments involving the public’s mindset on luxury.

Last night Tod’s and ELLE held a dinner at Il Buco Alimentari & Vineria in New York’s Noho nabe for the magazine’s latest cover star, Kerry Washington.

ELLE has plucked its next accoutrement aficionado from the halls of 4 Times Square: The Hearst mag snagged longtime Glamour editor Maria Dueñas Jacobs as its new accessories director, The Daily has exclusively learned.
