Last night’s Tom Ford event in LA had a good showing of fashion girls and A-listers. Into which one of those categories does Miley Cyrus fit? I’ll let you decide. Tom presented pieces from his new collection with celebrities as his models. Miley chose the dress that could have popped out of a fancy Fredericks of Hollywood window. Miley works it with all of her confidence, which is what makes this dress sort of work … for her. Faux corset, lace, and side tush? Check, check, aaand check. This is Miley, so I’m simply happy none of her bits are sticking out. Do you think she should switch up her hairdo? I recently learned that Miley does her own makeup for events. She needs to work on her eyeliner skills.

Elizabeth Olsen looked of her element in this black dress. I’m not a huge fan of all the cutouts this season, especially the weird cutout around the left vadge area on this dress. But this is Tom Ford, so who cares? Lizzie needs some coaching in the posing department, you can tell she’s a little uncomfortable. More important than the dress is the closeup. Elizabeth’s newly brown hair is lovely in tousled waves, and when she smiles, her face really lights up.

Rita Ora thought she was Tom Ford’s new best friend. Does this white suit reflect this status? The jacket is pretty awesome with a flattering, sexy silhouette. The pants look ill-cut and sloppy. Her slicked back hair works well with a suit, but the cat-eye makeup is doing her no favors.

Nicole Richie wore what looks like a leopard printed Halloween costume with black panties showing through for effect. And that pink hair is just awful. Nicole had a few years where she was a real fashionista, but she’s lost her style mojo. This looks like something Snooki would wear to host a Vegas club opening.

Molly Sims went for a sleek and simple black dress. She’s pregnant with her second child, a baby girl. Molly usually doesn’t dress very well (for a model) at fashion events, but she looks beautiful here. I like her piecey updo and rosey makeup.

Doesn’t Scarlett Johansson look fantastic? God. Her body is insane. I never would have guessed that she would snap back like this after having a baby. These are more photos from last night’s shockingly well-attended Tom Ford presentation in LA. All of the ladies wore Tom Ford, obviously. The results were mixed, but I think ScarJo was easily one of the best-dressed of the event. This long-sleeved gold dress is beautifully cut and it looks perfect on ScarJo. Imagine if this was full-length and she had worn it to the Oscars – it would have been amazing. She would have easily been the best dressed of the Oscars. My only complaint is that Scarlett’s hair is SO Miley Cyrus circa 2013. Oh, and Scarlett’s husband Romain looks flat-out ANGRY.

Amy Adams was one of the few ladies wearing a bright color. I don’t mind redheads in red at all, and this red in particular is fine on Amy. I like that she went with a suit (more women should do pantsuits for these events) and my only problem is that the jacket could be cut a bit better.

Joe Manganiello and Sofía Vergara came out to the event for some reason – it’s not like Sofia is known for wearing Tom Ford, you know?

For some reason, we didn’t have any full-length shots of Sam Taylor Johnson and Aaron Taylor Johnson. Oh well! I think we get all of the relevant style information from the fact that they’re wearing MATCHING BLUE VELVET. Honestly though, that’s a terrible skirt. #ALLTHEVELVET

Speaking of velvet, this is what Liberty Ross got to wear. NOPE. Those pants are no bueno.

This doesn’t even look like a Tom Ford dress on Rachel Zoe. It looks like some bargain-basement black dress that she’s trying to pass off as Tom Ford by wearing a new Ford jacket on top.

So many celebrities came out for the Tom Ford pre-Oscars fashion show that we’re splitting them up into several posts this morning. (See Kaiser’s earlier coverage here.) First off is Reese Witherspoon in Tom Ford, and we can assume all of the ladies are wearing Ford. It’s a cute dress for a fashion show and I really like the black oval pattern. I only wish it was fitted more in the waist. She paired it with strappy heels. Reese’s styling is spot on as usual.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley rocked a bronze boat neck long-sleeve dress with a small square pattern. Like Reese, she’s also wearing strappy heels. This look is incredible on her, she just shines. I’m so glad she’s still with Jason Statham too. I really like them together.

Olivia Munn also wore metallic, but her see-through shirt and peekaboo bra are a little much. She does look incredible, though, and I suppose this isn’t as revealing as we’ve seen from her in the past. Great makeup but her hair is a bit limp.

Fergie looked a bit too plain in a formfitting black dress featuring a boob sling, open back and a high thigh slit. Her hair is slicked back and her makeup is way too muted. This dress looks like one of those convertible dresses that you can style a bunch of different ways depending on how you fold it. (I’ve always been interested in those dresses but never bought one as I’m mechanically challenged.) Hot shoes though.

Faith Hill was in a hot pantsuit with a very slightly open front and small leather and silk details. I really love this pantsuit, it makes her look so tall and lanky. I do with she’d grow her hair out a little though.

Pre-Oscar events are usually pretty well-attended, as stars from around the world descend on LA to get drunk and party ahead of the big show on Sunday. But I swear, I have never seen a more well-attended – by A-listers! – pre-Oscar event than last night’s Tom Ford show in LA. Tom Ford called it a “presentation” of his Fall/Winter collection and all of the A-list ladies came out to support him. And of course Tom Ford dress all of them. First up: Gwyneth Paltrow. What’s going on with everything above the neck? It looks like she’s having an allergic reaction to something. Is that bad makeup? I know it’s bad hair – she needs to get out of her flat-ironed, center part rut. As for the dress, it’s okay. It’s a decent little cocktail dress. (PS… Goop is presenting at the Oscars!)

Jennifer Lopez was almost the headliner for this post because OMG BOOTS. At first I thought she was wearing grandma-style knee-high socks, mostly because my mind has been on socks lately because I’m on the East Coast Frozen Tundra. But these are boots. Terrible, terrible boots. The dress is not cute either.

In close-ups, Emily Ratajkowski’s lips are too much. But in full-length shots, she looks pretty hot. I’m not in love with this dress but she wears it well. I think the zebra print would be hotter without the lace, you know?

Naomi Campbell… ugh. Do you guys know that I’m not a fan of the one-sleeve thing? I have a general aversion to asymmetry in general, but one of the worst design tricks, in my mind, is to do one long sleeve and leave the other one completely bare. This dress looks surprisingly sloppy, right?

My biggest fear right now is that Julianne Moore is going to wear a custom-made Tom Ford gown to the Oscars and it’s going to be a total disaster. But… her outfit here is pretty cute? I would have liked it more if it had been a green one-piece, but I don’t hate this at all.

Dylan Penn is kind of snooze here. If you’re a would-be Fashion Girl looking to make an impact at what turns out to be the biggest fashion show in LA, don’t wear a blah little dress.

Kristen Stewart is now the first American actress to ever win a Cesar Award. The Cesar Awards are the French Oscars, and Kristen was the first American woman to be nominated for a Cesar in decades, and then last night, she WON. She won for her supporting work in Clouds of Sils Maria, the film she did with Juliette Binoche. Kristen got great reviews for that film, and it was somewhat a French production? Something like that. Other winners at last night’s Cesars included Timbuktu (Best Picture and six other awards), with Saint-Laurent picking up only Best Costume. You can read more about the awards here. Here’s Kristen Stewart being awkward and twitchy when she won her Cesar:

Well, congrats to her. But God, she’s awkward. Anyway, fashion notes! Kristen’s gown was Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2015. It’s not great. I think Kristen does look better when she wears more body-con styles, and that skirt looks too stiff and BIG for her. I’ll give Kristen this though: her hair and makeup were on-point. Kristen’s date last night was Juliette Binoche (Binoche lost her Cesar!) and Binoche wore Balenciaga. The dress is cute enough, I just wish Binoche had done something different with her hair and worn different shoes.

Also in attendance: Marion Cotillard and her lover/partner Guillaume Canet. Marion wore Dior. Consider this to be a preview of what she’ll wear at the Oscars.

Charlize Theron and Sean Penn were also in attendance. Charlize also wore Dior (gown and blazer). Her gown is so much better than Marion’s.

Never have I seen all of this angst over a successful film. As soon as Fifty Shades of Grey made crazy money during its opening weekend, everyone involved with the film lost their damn minds. Sam Taylor Johnson is likely going to jump ship. Universal can’t get their act together to formally announce the sequel. Dakota Johnson and Jamie are… well, they haven’t lost their minds, they just seem sort of over it in general. But E.L. James is probably the worst person involved here. Universal gave her unprecedented authority over her (Twihard fan-fic) material. The books are crap and Sam Taylor Johnson and screenwriter Kelly Marcel worked hard to make the film into something watchable and enjoyable, with E.L. James second-guessing them and pulling her weight around the entire time. Now, Variety reports, E.L. wants to try her hand at screenwriting. She wants to assert control over the script for Fifty Shades Darker.

Now that “Fifty Shades of Grey” has become an international box office phenomenon, author E.L. James is seeking more control over the sequel by writing the script herself. Universal Pictures, which had been resistant to the idea, is currently discussing the potential move with James, who wrote the bestselling erotic trilogy about Christian Grey and Anastasia Steele, Variety has learned.

Given the success of “Fifty Shades of Grey,” which has so far grossed more than $300 million worldwide, the next logical step would be for the studio to announce the greenlight to its sequel, “Fifty Shades Darker.”

According to insiders, the delay in the production of “Fifty Shades Darker” is related to the fact that Universal execs and James are still arguing over details. Unlike most successful franchises, which aim to retain the team behind the first film, it appears that “Fifty Shades” will undergo a dramatic creative reshuffling in the weeks to come. Sources close to the project don’t expect director Sam Taylor-Johnson or screenwriter Kelly Marcel to be back for the second installment, though reps for the studio say no official decisions have been made.

“The studio had always intended to sit down with the author after the film opened and discuss next steps, and that has not yet happened,” said a Universal spokesman.

If James does write the screenplay for “Fifty Shades Darker,” it could mean a later release date for the sequel. James has never written a film before, and the studio may need to factor in extra time for revisions. But as in the case of Gillian Flynn, who wrote both the book and screenplay for “Gone Girl,” the project could potentially benefit from an author adapting her own characters. Because of this uncertainty, production on “Fifty Shades Darker” likely won’t get under way until the first quarter of 2016. That would mean the sequel wouldn’t arrive until late 2016 or the first quarter of 2017. Without a shooting script or start date, having the movie ready for next year’s Valentine’s Day is highly unlikely.

[From Variety]

I bet Universal’s executives are banging their heads against the desk right about now. Why did they ever give E.L. so much control? I mean, they’re making money, for sure, but is all of that money worth the stupid headaches and constant bickering coming from E.L.’s authority. It would be different if E.L. was more well-versed in the filmmaking process, the give and take of ideas, the collaboration of it all. It would also help if she could write worth a damn. Instead, the sequel is going to be full of references to “down there,” Ana’s “inner goddess” and MOAR lip-biting.

Axl is looking as cute as ever!

Fergie and her husband Josh Duhamel are enjoying a bit of downtime in Los Angeles this weekend. Today, they were spotted walking around the town as Josh Duhamel toted Axl around, who looked absolutely adorable in his FBI hat.

Josh Duhamel looked like he was sporting some workout gear, as he wore a backwards cap, tennis shoes, pullover and windbreaker pants. Fergie, on the other hand, was all decked out in black! Make sure you check out the slideshow below to check out all the pics of the adorable family.

How did you do in yesterday’s trivia?

Yesterday, we posted asking you to tell us which celebrity mom said the following:

“I think that it’s hard having grown up in the business. I think it’s something I wouldn’t want for my own children. If they want to do it later, that’s great. But I think I just want them to be kids.”

So, were you able to guess which celebrity mom said the above? If not, you’re about to find out who it was:

Molly Ringwald!

Yep, the celebrity mom that said the above was Molly Ringwald. To see the full post and interview, you can go here.

Proud new mom-of-two Liv Tyler announced her son’s name Friday via Instagram.

The Leftovers actress, 37, and her boyfriend, sports manager/agent David Gardner, welcomed their baby boy on Feb. 11. “He’s healthy and everyone is very happy,” her rep said at the time, remaining mum on the moniker.

But on Friday afternoon, the newborn’s nautical name was revealed with a photo of her sweet tot holding a blue stone necklace featuring a diamond encrusted anchor.

The Armageddon star captioned the image: “Sailor Gene Gardner.”

Sailor is the actress’ second son — she welcomed Milo in Dec. 2004 with ex-husband Royston Langdon.

Gardner is also dad to 7-year-old son Gray from his previous marriage.
