Fashion Faceoff: Kim K. vs. Tyra Banks

Are you ready for another style throwdown? Faceoff regular Kim Kardashian puts her best foot forward for a battle with fashion mogul Tyra Banks after both were spotted sporting the same Rachel Roy sheath. This time it's stilettos at ten paces, because our candidates both look mighty fierce! Question is, who wore it better?

 

Kim Kardashian rocked the red carpet in the coral-colored gown last Friday at the 2010 Cosmetic Executive Women Beauty Awards in New York City. The "Keeping Up With the Kardashians" star paired her figure-hugging gown with a multi-colored Talita spiked clutch and Alti platform pumps, both from Christian Louboutin, and an elegant updo.

The House of Luck

I haven't seen the new Sex and the City movie yet because I've read some not so great reviews. I am curious to finally see the fashions and interiors but so much that I feel like giving up two hours of my life just yet. I'm surprised at how much attention has been given to the fact that they shot the movie in Morocco for two months which was used as a stand in for Abu Dhabi. What would have been more interesting is if part of the film actually took place in Morocco and more specifically, in Tangiers, at the former home of Yves Saint Laurent and Pierre Bergé, seen here. It was decorated by the illustrious interior designer Jacques Grange and was for sale last year and might possibly still be available. I can't find any record of it being sold. Perhaps Carrie and the girls could have rented it while getting away from their lives in New York or used it as a pit stop on their way to visit Christian Louboutin on his houseboat on the Nile. Couldn't be any worse than them wearing harem pants in the desert and falling off camels. The house also happens to be named Villa Mabrouka which means House of Luck. Sounds like they could have used some. Enjoy!

Bleu et Blanc

I'm heading out to the Hamptons again this weekend and wish I was staying at a house this chic! There is nothing that says beach house or summer more than blue and white. This one happens to have been designed by my uber talented interior design friend David Lawrence. It was also featured on the cover and inside the June 2009 issue of House Beautiful. I told you that he was talented! Happy Memorial Day Weekend!

Fashion ID: Taylor Momsen's Hooker Look

At this point, Taylor Momsen's infamous for her extreme (read: trashy) stage outfits. For a recent show at London's Notting Hill Arts Club, Tay put her usual punk rock twist on a sexy dress by Dolce & Gabbana. The pint-sized star went full-on hooker wearing loads of eyeliner, her signature ripped tights, and slouchy black platform boots. The downfall of dressing like Pretty Woman's Vivian Ward? Creepy men ogling you. Good thing T always carries a knife.
