Game of Thrones star Emilia Clarke appears on the cover of this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly, but while fans of the HBO series are starting to get excited about Clarke & co.’s return to the small screen, the actress is busy preparing for her first starring role on the Broadway stage.

Clarke is Holly Golightly in the Broadway production of Truman Capote’s Breakfast at Tiffany’s (opening March 20), and during a breakfast event hosted by Target — the retailer is the official beauty partner of the production — the actress talked about taking on the role that helped make Audrey Hepburn an icon, working with costume designer Colleen Atwood to re-imagine the character’s look, and how she manages to make more than 20 costume changes each performance.

When it comes to fashion, Nicki Minaj isn’t exactly known for being demure — heck, the woman plays dress-up with her perfume bottles. So it’s understandable that the American Idol judge found the idea of submitting to a makeunder before being photographed for the cover of a major fashion magazine more than a little daunting.

“To go in front of the camera, without pink lips or big ol’ crazy lashes — you know, nothing — I felt naked,” Minaj says of toning down her hair and makeup for the April issue of Elle. “It was scary!”

Though Minaj, who, according to reports, recently fired her hairdresser, stylist and makeup artist, had already begun toning down her look, the singer found it particularly hard to give up her signature beauty product for the Elle experiment. “I’m so, so attached to my pink lipstick, it’s hard,” she said of trying out a nude lip instead of her usual bright pink pout.

Before or after: Which of Nicki Minaj’s beauty looks do you like best? Cast your vote in the poll below!  READ FULL STORY »

Hairstylist Mark Townsend on 'Glee' star Lea Michele's red carpet risk-taking

Björk. Cher. Madonna. Lea Michele?

Bad news for fans who enjoy a good fashion risk: As red-carpet coverage has gotten more popular – even replacing the awards shows as the main event for some fashion-hungry followers – many stars are playing it safe to avoid winding up on the worst dressed list. “[These days] everybody is a critic,” hairstylist Mark Townsend, who has worked with Jennifer Lawrence, Michelle Williams, Lea Michele and many others, said. “The Internet has changed it. At some [point in] time, if you were on TV you had some kind of fashion background, but now all these shows like to employ comedians to be fashion experts [instead of actual fashion people].”

One star who Townsend says isn’t afraid of what Joan Rivers and her Fashion Police cohorts might say? Glee star Lea Michele. READ FULL STORY »

'Face Off' exit Q&A: 'I'm not disappointed'

Last night on Face Off, contestants were tasked with making creatures that could do the sand dance don’t you know (oh whey oh) and have a graveyard smash. Well, there actually wasn’t much dancing like an Egyptian or monster mashing, but there were some pretty foreboding mummies – this week’s challenge was to create an Evil Dead-inspired, mummified Egyptian god.

Though judge Glenn Hetrick offered some sincere praise for all of the makeups, ultimately David Greathouse (better known by the nickname “House”) was eliminated for his take on the Egyptian god Thoth. The judges criticized the makeup for its gold color, for the execution of transferring Thoth’s tablet inscriptions to his chest and for a mask that looked more Venetian than Egyptian.

EW talked with House about what went wrong with his makeup, his favorite work on the show, and what happens on those long van rides during the Face Off field trips. READ FULL STORY »

In the last episode of The Vampire Diaries, we watched as Elena walked away from her burning home. As it turns out, flipping a new vampire’s humanity switch to the off position affects more than just her attitude, especially when she sets fire to her entire wardrobe.

What will Elena wear? I’m doubting that the Salvatore brothers have anything that would fit little Miss Gilbert.

According to the show’s executive producer, Julie Plec, the new Elena has an entirely new look. “It’s just a little hipper, a little more contemporary, more skirts and belts and accessories,” Plec told EW. “She gets a great new haircut… and has a little fun with hair color.”

We spoke to Vampire Diaries‘ costume designer Leigh Leverett to learn more about Elena’s makeover:

'The Hollywood Reporter' names the 25 Most Powerful Stylists of 2013

Cinderella had her fairy godmother — and a crew of woodland creatures — to help her get dressed, but Hollywood stars rely on their personal stylists when they’re in need of some sartorial magic. Today, The Hollywood Reporter released its annual list of the top celebrity dressers in the 25 Most Powerful Stylists issue.

Leslie Fremar (pictured above with Julianne Moore), who is reportedly shopping a denim line with client Charlize Theron, took the top stop on this year’s list. (Last year’s #1, Kate Young, who came in at number four this year, has been working with both Michelle Williams and Rachel Weisz on the Oz The Great and Powerful press tour while prepping for the launch of her clothing line for Target.)

Petra Flannery, who styles Mila Kunis and Claire Danes, claimed the second spot, and Rachel Zoe — who was taken out of the running in 2012 because THR deemed her “too big to rank” — returns to the list at number three after dressing Oscar winners Anne Hathaway and Jennifer Lawrence. Rounding out the top five is Young and Elizabeth Stewart, who works with Jessica Chastain and Amanda Seyfried.

Among the first-timers on the list are Erin Walsh, who styles Scandal star Kerry Washington, Jeanann Williams, a publicist-turned-stylist who works with Naomi Watts, and Ryan Hastings, who helps Robert Pattinson suit up for red carpet appearances.

See the complete list of THR‘s most powerful celebrity stylists — and the stars they dress — after the jump. READ FULL STORY »

'Donkey booty' vs. 'Stallion booty': Battle of the 'Real Housewives of Atlanta' fitness DVDs

RHW-ATL-Workout-DVD

This season of Real Housewives of Atlanta has been one big battle of the booties, with Southern belle Phaedra Parks and “Detroit Barbie” Kenya Moore going head to head (er, cheeks to cheeks?) while plotting the release of dueling butt-shaping workout DVDs.

It all started innocently enough: Phaedra invited Kenya to work on Donkey Booty, but after the ladies couldn’t agree on contract terms — see Phaedra’s version of those events here, and Kenya’s here – Kenya announced that she’d be releasing her own DVD, titled Stallion Booty.

Now both booty workouts have hit the market. Phaedra and her husband, Apollo Nida, settled on the name Phine Body for their duo of 60 minute DVDs (sold separately for $12.95 each), which includes “Donkey Booty Volume I: lower body & core training” and “Donkey Booty Extreme Volume II: complete body sculpting.”

Kenya Moore: Booty Boot Camp ($16.99), which was released last week, includes three 20-minute workouts with varying levels of difficulty — all aimed to help you “get the round stallion booty you’ve always wanted” — as well as extra workouts for your abs.

How do these booty DVDs stack up against each other? I gave them a try to find out. READ FULL STORY »
