‘Clutch Confidential’: DVF and Laura Linney Focus on Fall Bags

Diane von Furstenberg is one of the fashion world’s most treasured designers, and stars love her, too (we’re talking to you, Kate and Katherine!). In fact, some celebs like her so much they’re willing to dish on their most personal items — their handbags — in a new series on her Inside DVF blog, Clutch Confidential.

Because we happen to adore DVF, celebrities and all things style, too, from time to time we’ll be bringing you sneak peeks at Clutch Confidential‘s subjects and the goods inside the handbags they love. This week, Inside DVF continues its new accessories feature with actress Laura Linney. Here, the Big C star reveals her fall bag secrets:

Inside DVF: What do you look for in a bag?
Laura Linney: I’m a lugger … so I need a bag that is big enough to carry all my stuff while, at the same time, it doesn’t resemble a suitcase.

Inside DVF: What do you always keep in your bag no matter what?
LL: Well other than the basics: keys, phone, etc. I always have a makeup bag with a few lip glosses and mascara, and a bag of  “in case” stuff — blister blockers, headache medicine, a Tide stick, breath mints, Band-Aids. And SUNSCREEN!

Robert Pattinson Thinks Kristen Stewart ‘Looks Amazing’ as a Bride

We’re just days away from seeing the much-hyped Breaking Dawn Part I wedding scene, and a few Twilight cast members are letting bare-bones details slip.

Rob [Pattinson] looked like a stud,” Kellan Lutz tells InStyle.com. “And Kristen Stewart is just stunning. She really made everyone turn heads. She looked so beautiful.”

According to Pattinson, Stewart did turn heads — and for good reason. “I’d seen her in the wedding dress, but pretty much everyone in the cast hadn’t seen her,” he told Ann Curry Thursday during a chat on Today. “So when she’s walking down the aisle and everyone turns around to her, it’s genuine curiosity because there was so much secrecy about it.”

Sneak Peek: Miranda Kerr Models Million-Dollar Bra in Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Miranda Kerr Victoria's SecretSplash News Online (2)

The Victoria’s Secret Fantasy Treasure Bra may cost a pretty penny, but Miranda Kerr made it look oh-so-pretty Wednesday night during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in New York. The model walked the runway wearing the $2.5 million diamond-studded bra by London Jewelers — plus an elaborate shell costume — and drew effusive cheers from husband Orlando Bloom, who sat front-row during the show.

The hour-long presentation had a lot of million-dollar moments: after performing his hit “Stronger” and dedicating it to his “superangel,” late mom Donda, Kanye West was joined onstage by pal Jay-Z for a duet from their Watch the Throne album. (West was supposed to perform at the show in 2007, but canceled after his mother’s untimely death.) As the guys got down, a glowing Beyoncé was rushed to the front row, dancing along and mouthing the words while proudly watching her hubby.

EXCLUSIVE: Mark-Kate & Ashley Plank, Stork and Hug It Out for StyleMint

As temperatures drop, the usually stoic Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen warm up for yet another “T Moment” video for StyleMint.

Their latest, an adorable homage to memes and photo bombing, mixes classic holiday flicks with Internet sensations. Watch as the sisters plank, stork and owl in $29.99 trademark tees and wickedly cool accessories.

Their final gesture, however, is the one you’ll dwell on: during the month of November, 10 percent of sales will benefit Women In Need, a charity that supports homeless women and children.

Have Jessica Simpson’s Christmas Tree in Your Home this Holiday

This holiday season, skip the hassle of choosing a Christmas tree and just let a celebrity do the work for you. That’s the thinking behind Macy’s first-ever Celebrity Tree Auction, launching Thursday and benefiting the Make-A-Wish Foundation.

The auction — part of Macy’s annual “Believe” campaign — features holiday trees designed by 14 of Macy’s biggest stars, including Jessica Simpson (left), Martha Stewart, Diddy, Donald Trump and more. Each is a playful take on the creator’s aesthetic: Simpson’s features gold-wrapped branches adorned with pearls; Stewart’s is topped with gingerbread cookies and candy canes; Diddy’s Sean John tree is covered in rhinestones; and Trump’s is made of gold bullion bars, naturally. We also love Emeril Lagasse’s tree, composed of pots and pans. Additional trees were created by Calvin Klein, Ralph Lauren, Tommy Hilfiger, Rachel Roy, Kenneth Cole, the Material Girl team, Betsey Johnson, Michael Kors and Greg Norman.
