Villainess Style: Dress Like Daisy Buchanan

Villainess Style: Dress Like Daisy Buchanan
Flapper dress
Fur wrap
Diamond headband
Crystal headband

Spoiler! Sweetheart, you just don’t get to commit hit and runs and still qualify as a good person. I know that when it comes to Daisy Buchanan (played by Carey Mulligan) that is really confusing for some people. Nonetheless, that is true, even if your voice is so soft and gentle and lovely and you look like the cutest blonde flapper ever. But once you kill someone and flee the state, you’re still a villain. It’s just this whole thing about how villainy works. Good outfits, though. More »

Great Gatsby Wed Bed Dead: Everybody Hates Daisy Buchanan, Right?

Great Gatsby Wed Bed Dead: Everybody Hates Daisy Buchanan, Right?

This week, we’re playing in honor of Baz Luhrmann‘s upcoming glitzy blockbuster, The Great Gatsby (which Jen hated, PS). Today’s trio will therefore be Jay Gatsby (played by Leonardo DiCaprio), Tom Buchanan (played by Joel Edgerton) and Nick Carraway (played by Tobey Maguire). Jen’s dream has always been to marry Gatsby, so the ‘bed’ option is the wild card here. …The one thing everyone is certain about, though, is how hard Daisy sucks. More »

Tiffany's Hired Security On The Great Gatsby Set To Make Sure Carey Mulligan Didn't Pocket That Bling

We have previously established that Tiffany’s The Great Gatsby-inspired collection is incredible, but for most of us, obtaining any of that gorgeous jewelry is quite the pipe dream. The kind of people who could afford such beautiful baubles, bangles and beads are people who are famous and wealthy like, oh, I don’t know, movie stars? More »

Carey Mulligan is currently in the thick of promoting The Great Gatsby, which is good news for anyone who enjoys looking at pictures of Carey Mulligan. In the June issue of Harper’s Bazaar UK, Ms. Mulligan poses for a series of lovely, seasonally appropriate photos: there are flowers on the trees and on her clothes, and she even wears a pair of rain boots in one shot. Her beauty look is fittingly soft and natural, and the accompanying article is full of cute tidbits, like the music she listened to to get pumped up for scenes in The Great Gatsby (LMFAO’s “Party Rock Anthem”) and the fact that Leonardo DiCaprio wrote her notes and signed them as Gatsby. Aw. More »

So, so many fancy people were there, including Gatsby stars Carey Mulligan and Isla Fisher, along with Katy Perry, Florence Welch, Alexa Chung, Maggie Gyllenhaal and many more. More »

The Great Gatsby Looks Like The Worst Date Movie

The Great Gatsby Looks Like The Worst Date Movie

More clips are out from The Great Gatsby, which indicate it will probably be the worst date movie ever! That’s true in spite of the fact that it keeps being billed as the biggest romance in the history of the world. We’ve already decided that your wedding is never going to compare to it, but let’s look at this new picture where Leonardo DiCaprio, as Gatsby, tricks out a room with flowers, macarons, and an extremely dopey looking Tobey Maguire.  More »

Check Out Tiffany's Resplendent Great Gatsby Themed Jewelry Collection
Headpiece, $200,000
Freshwater pearls, $35,000
Hand carved black onyx things
Aquamarine necklace, $200,000
Art Deco rings, $25,000

The decadent 1920s fashions on display in Baz Luhrmann‘s new film version of The Great Gatsby are so beautiful that it’s easy to forget they’re a symbol of some less-than-beautiful things: hubris, materialism, and the gilded cage that Tom Buchanan keeps his wife Daisy in. At least, that’s what Tiffany & Company is betting on with their Great Gatsby tie-in line of jewelry! From a diamond and pearl headpiece that costs $200,000 (pictured) to all manner of dangly baubles and jewels, this collection asks you to look at these shiny, shiny fineries and forget all about the sinister narrative role they play in the film. So sparkly. So forgetful. You will covet them like Gatsby covets Daisy: fiercely and inappropriately. More »
