EXCLUSIVE: Rachel Zoe is “Still Working” With Cameron and Debra

INF

Don’t believe the rumors that celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe’s top clients Cameron Diaz and Debra Messing have dropped her. “The information is inaccurate,” Zoe’s representative Teal Cannaday tells PEOPLE exclusively. “Rachel is still very much working with Debra and Cameron” PEOPLE followed up with reps for both actresses who confirmed the ongoing relationship. And while sources have claimed that Zoe has been focusing more on her Bravo reality show, The Rachel Zoe Project, than her styling work recently, “that’s not true,” insists another source close to the stylist. Zoe continues to work with Jennifer Garner, Kate Hudson, and Anne Hathaway, whom she styled for this year’s Oscars. “Styling is still her number one priority,” says the source. “Despite anything else she does, she is a stylist first and foremost. She’s still holding people’s trains and sewing them into their dress. That’s her priority.”

Yves Saint Laurent’s Personal Art Collection Hits The Auction Block

Yves Saint Laurent might have been best known for his couture fashion house, but the late designer was also a skilled art collector. Together with partner Pierre Berge, Saint Laurent amassed priceless pieces by Picasso, Matisse, Marcel Duchamp, Constantin Brancusi, James Ensor, Piet Mondrian and Giorgio de Chirico — and last night, the entire collection went on the auction block in Paris, earning an astounding $264 million dollars! Proceeds from the once-in-a-lifetime sale will benefit a charitable foundation established by the pair, and include a new research center to combat AIDS. Get the whole story at nytimes.com.

Sienna Miller’s Twenty8Twelve Makes Its Runway Debut

While most of Hollywood was in Oscar mode, Sienna Miller and her sister Savannah were making their runway debut at London Fashion week. The designing duo behind Twenty8Twelve debuted their Fall 09 collection to a packed house which included Fashion Week staple Kanye West and fellow British designer Matthew Williamson. The clothes seem a combination of the two sisters; leather jackets, skin-tight dresses with a boho flair for Sienna mixed with crystal-embellished cashmere, fine-tailoring and florals for Savannah. “But put them together, and it says London cool,” Sienna tells the The Telegraph backstage before the show. “These clothes are funky, and there’s something for anyone.” Or, as Savannah tells Style.com the collection is “Pirates of the road meets Grace Jones.” But even with the success of the two-year old line, don’t expect Sienna to give up her day-job any time soon. “I’m not giving up acting, I love acting,” says Sienna. “But I also love working with my sister. We’ve always been two sisters playing dress-up, ever since we were kids and we’re still doing it.”

Gary Hershorn /Landov

Reese Witherspoon has thrilled us with her award show looks over the years, from her vintage Christian Dior to collect her Best Actress Oscar to her sexy yellow Nina Ricci at the Golden Globes the following year. And when the surprise presenter took to the stage at tonight’s Academy Awards, it was no exception. The star chose a daringly fashion-forward Rodarte gown with a billowing ombre skirt and an asymmetrical beaded bodice. We love that Reese is supporting a young American label — Rodarte is designed by two twentysomething sisters in California. Reese is one of our Best Dressed picks, but it is more avant-garde than most. So we want to know: What do you think of Reese’s edgy look? Vote in our poll below!
