Selma Blair

From Gwyneth Paltrow to Maggie Gyllenhaal, stars are working the red carpet in jumpsuits — with varying degress of success. Selma Blair popped up in a provocative, glammed up Marchesa jumpsuit for the premiere of Hellboy 2, looking so much more glamazon than ’70s disco queen! The wide-leg bottoms are just wide enough (without venturing into bell-bottom territory!), making the suit look elegant and comfortable. Minimal accessories — small earrings and a classic Chanel clutch — keep it from looking costume-y, and tasteful beading along the plunging neckline adds just a touch of sparkle. Tell us: Would you wear a jumpsuit like Selma’s?

Hollywood is full of demanding divas, but Selma Blair isn’t one of them. The actress cheerfully walked from pal Marc Jacobs show to his after party five blocks away -– in her four-inch YSL heels. “They’re so comfortable,” she told PEOPLE, walking faster than others around her in flats. Her gold dress that she wore to the show was vintage, but “my bag is Marc Jacobs – oh, and my coat!” — as was the striped jersey dress she changed into for the after party. Blair was chatty and cheerful, running her hand through her newly shorn, newly bleached hair and saying ruefully, “I know I’m going to get killed for this look.” Why did she do it? “I had my hair cut for a photo shoot and I just thought it would be fun to dye it, you know?” she said, shrugging. “So I just did it.”

The much anticipated Marc By Marc Jacobs Fall 2007 show finally kicked off this evening at Claridge’s hotel in London and the New York designer certainly added some A-list eye candy to the closing show of the week. In town to open his new Mayfair store, the designer had a front row bursting with celeb pals including Selma Blair, Naomi Campbell and Sofia Coppola who all applauded his geek-chic collection, “It was like a boarding school fiesta!” Blair told PEOPLE after the show. “It was cuddly and sexy and I loved all the cream tights,” she said, herself in tiny, ruffled gold strapless dress. Coppola, the designer’s “muse” kept her comments short and sweet, “The clothes were cute and it’s fun to be in the ballroom at Claridge’s.” We’re sure more fun was to be had at the exclusive after party held at the store straight afterwards – watch this space!
