Whitney Port On Daytime Sequins and Other Fall Must-Haves

When it comes to fashion, designer Whitney Port is something of an expert. And yesterday, the L.A. expat brought her style savvy to downtown N.Y.C. to help launch eBay LookBook, a shopable street-style website, and of course, share some of her must-have fall items. “It’s all kind of represented here,” she said of the glimmering racks hung with dress belts, jewelry and shoes–sourced on eBay by celeb stylist Annabel Tollman–that stylish passers-by were popping in to try on and be photographed in for the online look book. “I’m a sucker for leopard,” she continued, raving about a new pair of ankle booties in the print. “And also there’s a whole glam glitz section during the day. Sequins during the day I think is a fun work look as well.” And while Whitney still loves Los Angeles, when it comes to style, New York has won her heart. “I think it’s much more fashion-forward out here. I think people take a lot more pride in how they look and how much time they get ready and everything,” she told PEOPLE. Even if you weren’t lucky enough to be in New York for the launch event, you can take full advantage of the shoppable, user-generated style gallery by uploading a photo of yourself to eBayLookBook.com or catch Whitney and the eBay fashion team in Los Angeles on Sept. 29 where they will set up another street-style shop! –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

Hollywood was just a little more glamorous on Wednesday when some of Tinseltown’s most stylish stars joined forces with their makeup artists at Dior Beauty’s private luncheon benefiting Operation Smile. Lauren Conrad,Whitney Port, Jessica Simpson, Sharon Stone, Eliza Dushku and others headed to the Sunset Tower Hotel’s Terrace Room, where they sipped champagne and divulged tips that they’ve learned from their makeup pros. “Never use false eyelashes,” Jessica Simpson told PEOPLE of the advice she received from her makeup artist, Jeannia Robinette. “The Shu Uemura eyelash curler and Dior Show [mascara] is what we use, and just keep putting more and more coats on.” Eliza Dushku believes that concealer is key, while Lauren Conrad praised the power of contouring. For Jenna Elfman, it was all about the eyes. “Black eyeliner on my lids. That just changed my eye in a way I had never known,” she said. The face of Dior’s Capture Totale skincare line, Sharon Stone, who did her own makeup for the event, said she learned the secrets of a good moisturizer at a young age. “My mom gave me [Avon] moisturizer when I was an adolescent and said ‘put this on in the morning and the night and you’ll thank me for it later,’” said the beauty icon. “I think really she’s probably the reason why I’m the face of Dior because I ended up having great skin in my mid life, so as a mid-life representative for Dior, I have the luxury of having even more wonderful skincare products at my fingertips.” – Michelle Ward

It looks like The City‘s girl-next-door Whitney Port is getting ready to shed her wholesome image! The reality starlet and budding fashion designer announced today that she’s posing for racy men’s magazine, Maxim. “Ready to channel my sexy side!!” she wrote on her blog Thursday. “This is a pretty big deal for me because I’ve never done ANYTHING like this before. I’ve done my fair share of photo shoots in my career, but none of them were at the level of sexiness that Maxim is recognized for,” wrote the self-described “cutesy, girl next door type.” An image, it seems, that the reality star is excited to relinquish. “Doing this shoot will give me the opportunity to step outside my comfort zone and show people an entirely different side of me.” The City‘s celebrated good girl will join the stylish ranks of Maxim alums like Ashley Greene and Megan Fox.

To flawlessly finish her yellow Yigal Azrouel dress at last night’s MTV Movie Awards, Whitney Port decided to go subtle yet chic for her makeup. So the 23-year-old star of The City enlisted some help from makeup artist pal Amy Nadine, who today shared the step-by-step process of how she achieved Whitney’s MTV look, chiming in as a a guest blogger on the star’s web site. “Because Whitney’s Yigal Azrouel dress was such a statement dress, I wanted to create a beautifully soft make-up look that wouldn’t compete,” she wrote on Port’s blog. To achieve a flawless complexion, Nadine applied Giorgio Armani Face Fabric Radiance in #1 with a foundation brush and then followed it with a sweep of Armani’s Loose Powder in #0. For the eyes, Nadine drew a thick and heavy line on Port’s upper eyelids, using CoverGirl LiquiLine “for a 60′s Mad Men-inspired” look. And to add a little flush, Nadine applied CoverGirl Simply Ageless in Plush Peach to the apple of Whitney’s cheeks, while using OCC Lip Tar in Hush to complete the flirty yet high-fashion look.

Whitney Port Sued over Design Line

While Whitney Port‘s design career is taking off in stores, on the runway and on-screen, she may have hit her first major hiccup — a lawsuit filed by designer Adrienne Baravetto, who claims she helped Port design and launch her line (then called Eve & A) starting in 2007. As first reported by TMZ.com, Baravetto alleges she had an oral agreement with Port and her father, including a $80,000 yearly salary plus a 25 percent stake in the company. Baravetto also alleges that she did virtually all the design work and that the Ports haven’t paid her a dime. Port’s lawyer Michael A. Taitelman tells PEOPLE, “The lawsuit that Adrienne Baravetto filed on March 19, 2010 against Whitney Eve, Inc., Whitney Port and others regarding the Whitney Eve clothing line is baseless and without merit. Whitney Port is, and always has been, the designer of Whitney Eve. Baravetto worked for Whitney Eve for a short period of time ending in early 2008. For more than two years, she has been silent. For reasons that we will uncover, she has decided to make these unsubstantiated allegations at this time. The defendants will vigorously defend themselves, and upon the successful conclusion of this lawsuit in their favor, they intend to hold Baravetto and her counsel accountable for their reckless conduct.” Says Baravetto’s attorney Peter Maretz, “Ms. Baravetto did the heavy lifting for these designs and she just wants to get paid fairly.”
