WIN IT | Join Me for a VIP Advanced Screening of THE INTERN in Toronto

Loved The Devil Wears Prada?  Then you are going to luuurv this. THE INTERN opens on Sept 25th and it's a new fashion must-see. The film centers around 70-year-old widower Ben Whittaker (Robert De Niro) who's discovered that retirement isn't all it's cracked up to be. Seizing an opportunity to get back in the game, he becomes a senior intern at an online fashion site, founded and run by Jules Ostin (Anne Hathaway). The preview looks more feel-good than ferocious devil-boss but I'm down. I mean, two Academy Award-winning actors and Nancy Meyers (Something's Gotta Give, It's Complicated) at the helm? I can't wait. 

Now here's the exciting part: I'm giving away double passes to not 1 but 4 LUCKY WINNERS to join me at the Advanced Screening of THE INTERN on Sept 23rd in Toronto.

Red Carpet Rockers

A long night, a few too many glasses of pinot and now I'm feeling the Oscar after-effects.  I liken the Academy Awards to the Superbowl, except somehow, nobody thought to make me snacks.  Anyone else experience this overt injustice? In a few short words, I was generally impressed by this year's red carpet turnout. Most starlets were smart enough to take the advice of their stylists so I found way more 'hits' than 'misses' this year. Boring. Can somebody bring back Bjork, please?

Since the web is so inundated with red carpet pics today, I'll save the redundancy and leave you to your own Google-y devices. Instead, thought I'd post a few pics of stars rocking Calvin Klein Collection at last night's Vanity Fair after-party. I know I just mentioned her last week but, how gorgeous is Carolyn Murphy? 

Best:

Charlize Theron - I loved her close-cropped hair, her dewy makeup, her stark white Dior peplum confection and her general statuesque amazingness

Jessica Chastain - Unlike her ill-fitting turquoise number from the SAGs, her metallic Armani Prive gown and Jessica Lake waves screamed Old Hollywood glam. Such a fan.

Kerry Washington - I don't know if I've ever actually seen her in a movie but Kerry Washington always kills it on the carpet.  Props to Rachel Zoe for always making her look OTT amazing

Naomi Watts - Her sequined gunmetal  Giorgio Armani dress was out of this world.  Some people questioned the cut-outs but to me, they were edgy, cool and just perfect on her body. 

Jennifer Lawrence - Elegant, age-appropriate and the perfect shade of pale pink, though I'm still torn about whether I liked/hated the skirt.  I know that I absolutely loved her after-party dress (see above) If I'm honest, I would probably put her on my best-dressed list no matter what she chose, just because I love her so

Jane Fonda - She owned that canary yellow Versace dress and showed up women half (even a third) her age. She is 75.  75!! #inspired

Worst:

Anne Hathaway - She picked her Prada 3 hours before the show, dismissing the custom-made Valentino couture gown the fashion house took such great pains to create for her, and thus became the unfortunate recipient of bad fashion karma. All I can say is 'Les Nipperables'. Awkward.

Helen Hunt - $700,000 worth of jewels were cheapened by her wrinkled H&M dress. I'm all about the high-low mix and actually didn't mind the dress, but if you're going to go low, you need to invest in a steamer. 

Kristen Stewart - Did the girl just roll out of bed? Did she forget to shower? Even with crutches, I feel no sympathy. Geez, that sounded harsh. What is it about the red carpet that brings out my inner Regina George?

Whose looks did you love/loathe? I want to hear. Did I miss anyone? x

ps - Yay for Argo! Ben Affleck has really come full circle, non? I am so happy for him!
