Bethenny Frankel’s Maternity Wardrobe Secret: “Anything That Stretches”

Reality-TV personality Bethenny Frankel may claim that she doesn’t have the key to maternity chic, but the Real Housewives of New York City star, who is expecting her first child with fiancé Jason Hoppy, does confess to leaning towards a certain style. “I’m sort of developing one. My style is leggings with some sort of muumuu and a belt, like up here, [above my stomach].” And, Frankel is following in the footsteps of some of Hollywood’s most fashionable stars, flaunting her growing bump in body-con dresses — a choice that, she says, is mostly unintentional. “I’m digging through my closet to find anything that stretches. I hate to buy anything new, so none of it is maternity yet,” the star, who is due in June, told reporters Thursday night at the premiere of Discovery Channel’s Life.

WATCH: Marion Cotillard Rocks Out with Franz Ferdinand for Dior Film

Not that you had any doubts that Marion Cotillard could sing — she did win an Oscar for playing French chanteuse Edith Piaf in La Vie en Rose and was nominated for a Golden Globe for her song-and-dance turn in Nine, after all. But as part of her other famous role, as the face of Lady Dior, the actress gives new range to her vocal talents with her second short film with Scottish band Franz Ferdinand, directed by Jonas Akerlund. Alternating between a feminine red dress and menswear-inspired tuxedo, Marion rocks out in the video, singing an original composition, the Eyes of Mars. And as you’d expect, the iconic Lady Dior handbag makes its own impressive cameo. –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

Anna Kendrick on Trying to Look Taller and Finding Her Perfect Oscars Heels

Michael Kovac/FilmMagic

With the Oscars just days away, first-time nominee Anna Kendrick is finding her wardrobe to be almost more stressful than the biggest night in her career up to now. “It’s been physically more uncomfortable than I expected it to be!” Kendrick tells PEOPLE of her red carpet season experience at last night’s Pre-Oscar Poolside Party benefiting The Red Cross Haiti & Chile Relief Fund at the Beverly Wilshire, Four Seasons. “You want your waistline to be just so, and I’m always trying to look taller than I am –so I’m always in something that’s a little snug or a little too tall.” And while she admits one secret weapon she’s used is Spanx, her main concern for Sunday is finding a pair of shoes that won’t hurt. “I’m just trying to sift through what heels are more comfortable on my feet. Certain Jimmy Choos and Sergio Rossi shoes are really comfortable, but it varies from shoe to shoe, so it’s kind of hit and miss, trial and error.” So while her style needs are at fever pitch, the Best Supporting Actress nominee says: “I keep trying to immerse myself in something that doesn’t have anything to do with the movie or awards season.” And that includes reading books and preparing for her mom’s arrival from Maine to attend the telecast with her. We can’t wait to see what Anna will choose for the red carpet on Sunday — vote on our gown predictions now! –Andrea DeSimone; with reporting by Alexis Chiu
