Courteney Cox

Courteney Cox Arquette totally fooled us with this adorable printed tote! We were positive that the actress was carrying a perfectly chic spring bag to The Tripper premiere last week, but it turns out that is actually a picnic blanket carrier that everyone was given at the screening (the movie’s name is on the other side). Made by Picnic Time, the blanket comes in a variety of cute geometric patterns and is reversible fleece and waterproof nylon. And at $18, it’s a steal. Hope it kept Courteney from getting the chills during the scary movie! Get your own Sunshine Blanket Tote at katalinaklark.com.

Courteney Cox had a fashionable way to say thank you to her BFF Jennifer Aniston after she appeared on her show Dirt (and its much anticipated kiss scene) in the March 27th finale. Cox gave her fellow-Friend a pair of Robert Marc Snakeskin shades. These are the same shades that Courteney’s character, tabloid editor Lucy Spiller, is seen wearing on the show, but in a slightly different color. Jen’s new pair are a limited-edition frame that retails for $595 at Robert Marc boutiques. Also available: Slightly less expensive Snakeskin frames, about $375, in white, green and black. Visit RobertMarc.com for a boutique near you to purchase the frames.

If only we editors here at People got to spend our evenings swanning around Hollywood soirees in red couture evening gowns, engaging in witty, cocktail-fueled repartee with movie execs named Harvey. But, we can still appreciate how great tabloid editor-in-chief Lucy Spiller, as played by Courteney Cox in her first post-Friends TV role, looks in her crimson evening gown in the premiere episode of Dirt. It’s by designer Justo Artigas, and Cox had to be sewn into the garment every time she put it on, according to the FX publicity department. Ah, the sacrifices one must make for beauty. Not that Cox had to sacrifice too much: “She can literally wear a paper sack and make it look great,” gushed the show’s costume designer, LuEllyn Harper. Harper used designers like Prada, Costume National, Stella McCartney and Donna Karan for Lucy’s power wardrobe, and favored sharp silhouettes to mach the editrix’s sharp personality. “Her clothes have a sexiness to them, but she’s still this powerful businesswoman,” says Harper. “We mix business pieces with making her look good.” Can you wardrobe us next?

I was lucky enough to start my day by having breakfast with Courteney Cox. No, really! This morning, she spoke on behalf of Kinerase, the skincare line that she is the face of, to a group of editors. After hearing all about their new products (if they make me look like Courteney, sign me up! She looks amazing in person), she showed us a film about EB, a skin disease that afflicts kids (victims are often known as “butterfly children”). The actress has become very involved with raising money to fund the EB Medical Research Foundation — she has even gotten Kinerase involved in donating a percentage of their sales to the charity.

And a few hours later, after changing from her beautiful lace blouse and pinstriped skirt into a stunning satin dress, she was joined at a press conference by designer Nicole Miller, to announce a limited edition bag that will contribute 10% of the proceeds to the EB Foundation (in conjuction with Kinerase again). In addition, they will be sending a version of the bags out to celebs to decorate, which will be auctioned off later in the year with a 100% of the proceeds going to the the charity. Wonder if Courteney’s best friend Jennifer Aniston will get out her glue gun?

Courteney continued on to another reception for the brand, but then her hectic day was over! But don’t expect to see her at any fashion shows or parties tonight — it is hubby David Arquette’s birthday, and the night is promised to him! – Melissa Liebling-Goldberg
