Kate Winslet Debuts Cropped Platinum Hair

A new role, a new city — and new hair! Kate Winslet shows off an extreme do — trading her long blonde locks for cropped, platinum hair that may or may not be a wig — in the April issue of British Vogue. In a revealing interview with Jo Ellison, the actress opens up about her recent divorce from husband Sam Mendes, and talks about the latest chapter in her life, which includes a temporary move to Paris to shoot Roman Polanski’s God of Carnage. And she also touches on her famous figure, which always has everyone talking. “I was a lot more voluptuous when I was younger,” she says. “I felt I had to defend my body, and took a very public stand, which I still absolutely believe in. But I’ve stopped talking about it now. And, at a certain point, it does become hypocritical.” Now, at 35, the actress is into Pilates and running, “not very well, I might add,” but mainly keeps busy by raising her children, 10-year-old Mia and 7-year-old Joe. However, that doesn’t mean the mom can’t have some fun! In the accompanying photos, shot by Mario Testino, Winslet works that hair — and looks divine. “I’m embarking on a new chapter in my adult life,” she shares. “And I’m single. And it doesn’t scare me at all.” The April issue of British Vogue is on newsstands now. Tell us: What do you think of Winslet’s look? Kate Hogan

BUZZ: Will Lily Allen Marry in a Chanel Wedding Dress?

Lily Allen Chanel Wedding Dress

It’s good to have friends in fashionable places! British pop singer Lily Allen has reportedly chosen Chanel — led by longtime pal Karl Lagerfeld — to design the dress for her upcoming wedding to boyfriend Sam Cooper. According to WWD, Allen arrived at the Chanel Paris studios Monday afternoon (before taking in the brand’s show on Tuesday), telling the front desk she was there to “see Karl for my wedding dress.” (A rep for Allen had no comment.) It would come as no surprise if the pop star has chosen the iconic label, considering her BFF status with Lagerfeld: the singer performed live at a Chanel fashion show in 2009, and the designer cast Allen as the star of his handbag campaign that same year. Lagerfeld has openly shared the reasons why he loves his one-time muse, too, citing her cheekiness — and “perfect decolletage.” No doubt she’ll make a beautiful bride. Tell us: Would Chanel be a good choice for Allen’s wedding dress? –Kim Peiffer

Chanel Fall 2011 Runway Show Rocks — Literally!

Chanel Paris Fashion Week
KCSPresse/Splash News Online

The catwalk was smokin’ hot at the Chanel ready-to-wear show in Paris on Tuesday, where designer Karl Lagerfeld created a smoldering scene for a star-studded front row that included Emma Roberts, Lily Allen, Kanye West and Alexa Chung. Transforming the Grand Palais exhibition hall into a volcanic wasteland, with black boulders and steaming rocks strewn across the floor, the dark and intense mood translated to Lagerfeld’s mostly black autumn/winter collection, too. The sparkly tweed capes and biker boots, semi-transparent lace jumpsuits and knitted maxi-dresses got the seal of approval from veteran French fashionista Clémence Poésy, who told PEOPLE, “It was a wonderful show, I loved all of it,” before going to congratulate the designer. British singer Duffy couldn’t contain her excitement, either, sharing that it was her “first show ever, ever, ever, and I had goose bumps, it was so beautiful. The collection was amazing. I kept saying ‘I want that, I want that.’ It was like window shopping of the best kind ever!” –Monique Jessen

Is Tom Brady’s Ponytail a Hair Faux Pas?

Tom Brady's Pontytail
Splash News Online

For Tom Brady, looking good has never been a problem. But his hair, on the other hand, has received mixed reviews. The football star, who once rocked a shaggy do like Justin Bieber, made a statement yesterday when he showed up at Carnival in Brazil with wife Gisele Bündchen — and had his flowing mane tied back into a ponytail. But it wasn’t just the pony that had the world talking — it was the deliberation over whether his hair accessory was an elastic or a (gasp!) scrunchie. Regardless, we wonder if Tom needs to ditch the hair accessories all together and go for a more masculine look. Tell us: Should Brady chop the ponytail? –Kim Peiffer

Would You Wear Patterned Jeans Like Katie?

Would You Wear Patterned Jeans Like Katie?
GSI

We like to switch up our denim designs — try the latest trends, play with new colors — and we love it when celebs do the same. So when Katie Holmes wore a pair of dark blue circle-patterned jeans while out and about in Los Angeles recently, we took note. The actress cuffed her pants and paired them with a loose-fitting white blouse, giving a look that was pulled together, yet laid back. We know she gets style advice from her pint-sized stylist, daughter Suri, but we wonder — do her printed jeans work? Tell us: Would you wear patterned jeans like Holmes?Kara Murphy
