Steal that style: Anne Hathaway
She continued to appear in family films over the next three years, with lead roles in Ella Enchanted and The Princess Diaries 2: Royal Engagement in 2004. Hathaway would later venture away from the “G-rated” image her early acting career bestowed upon her, starring in the films Havoc and Brokeback Mountain.
She later starred in The Devil Wears Prada, opposite Meryl Streep; Becoming Jane, in which she portrays Jane Austen, and Get Smart, opposite Steve Carell. In 2008 she earned widespread critical acclaim for her star turn in the film Rachel Getting Married, for which she won numerous awards, including a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actress.
Steal that style: Sasha Pivovarova
As an art history student at the Russian University for the Humanities, Pivovarova never dreamed of becoming a model until friend and photographer Igor Vishnyakov took photos of her in 2005 and gave them to international modeling agency IMG, thus beginning her career. After signing with IMG, her first runway show was for Prada, who then signed her to a three-year exclusive advertising contract.
In the May 2007 issue of American Vogue she was featured on the cover with Doutzen Kroes, Caroline Trentini, Raquel Zimmermann, Jessica Stam, Agyness Deyn, Coco Rocha, Hilary Rhoda, Chanel Iman, and Lily Donaldson as the new crop of “supermodels,” and in her interview, she talked about her love for art and reading.
Steal that style: Lily Cole in White Dreams
Lily Cole is featured in top fashion magazines such as Vogue (American, Italian, British, Japanese and Korean), Citizen K, and V. She has also appeared on the cover of Numéro and three for British Vogue. In November 2004, the British Fashion Awards named her ‘Model of the Year’.Additionally, Cole has appeared in advertising campaigns for designers such as Chanel, Christian Lacroix, Hermès, Longchamp, Cacharel, Topshop, and Anna Sui Cosmetics, as well as being the face for Moschino’s perfume ‘I Love Love.’
She is a common sight on the catwalks of the international runway circuit and has walked many top shows — Chanel, DKNY, Jean Paul Gaultier, Versace, Alexander McQueen, John Galliano, and Louis Vuitton, to name a few. In addition to modeling for top fashion designers, her friend-list includes Philip Colbert and fellow models Gemma Ward and Erin O’Connor.
Cole was announced as the follow-up model for Accessorize, taking the place of model Claudia Schiffer. Cole also designed a line of handbags for the collection. Cole will be an additional face for cosmetics Rimmel, along with Kate Moss, as well as Tiffany & Co. She is now one of the models in the Marks and Spencer clothes advertising campaign, becoming the youngest model to ever do a campaign for the line. As part of the deal Cole will be the exclusive face of the M&S Limited Collection.
Steal that style: David and Victoria Beckham
Wearing a crown and a tightly fitting ivory wedding dress designed by Vera Weng, Victoria’s attire was matched by David’s ivory and cream suit. He later changed into a purple suit because Brooklyn threw up on him. Their party outfits were designed by Antonio Berardi. Brooklyn was wearing a purple cowboy hat.
David and Victoria had an elaborate and expensive wedding reception with 437 staff serving. All guests at the reception were asked to dress in black or white.
The menu included Laurent Perrier rose champagne and sticky toffee pudding. Their wedding cake was topped with a nude (except for a few ivy leaves) sculpture of the newlyweds.
Steal that style: Liv Tyler
Though it is hard to live in the shadow of her rockstar father, Liv Tyler has acutally been able to achieve and prove a lot on just being her own self. Starting off as a model, she later pursued a career in acting, as she was seen in movies like Armageddon and That Thing You Do. Her fashion has always been eclectic.
Raised in the realm of rock and roll, it was not surprising that the bride chose an Alexander McQueen creation in which to celebrate her marriage. Known for darkly romantic dresses with a theatrical edge, the bride commissioned an ethereal white gown with an empire waist, a band of gold brocade below the bustline, and sheer, elbow-length sleeves. For a splash of color, the actress wore open-toed pink shoes, the hue matching the groom’s tie.
Steal that style: Evangeline Lilly
Evangeline Lilly about her style: “A lot of people always say to me: ‘You must love this – all the glam and the red carpets,’ but it is so far from my comfort zone. Though having said that, during the hiatus, it was nice to cut my hair and dress up after wearing dirty castaway clothes for weeks. The producers don’t like to let us off the island very much so we have to wait until we get on the mainland to get nice dresses, and that can make award shows and those kind of things a little hectic.”
“.My mom is the classiest, most beautiful lady you’ll ever meet so I’ve had a good teacher. She was a cosmetician who worked for Estee Lauder and I got my first makeover when I was in grade five. When I was in high school, I used to go through our Halloween dress-ups and pull out a gypsy costume and pair it with a T-shirt to wear to school”, said the star according to ivillage.
Steal that style: Joe Cole and Carly Zucker
The football ace, 27, was said to have shelled out the staggering amount for the wedding at London’s Chelsea Royal Hospital. “Joe was calm and composed throughout,” the News of the World quoted Rev Dick Whittington, who married the lovers, as saying.
The couple had allegedly inked a deal with a magazine for 2 million pounds but pledged to donate the cash to charity.
The newly pronounced Mrs., who recently said so long to the single life with a bachelorette party at London nightclub Mahiki, has kept the style of her “I do” dress (which the Mirror indicates was purchased at bespoke wedding supplier Ana Cristache) a secret which will only be revealed to the public upon the publication of the magazine chosen to present the details of the couple’s special day.

The Dailly Mail says the bride arrived 20 minutes late for the £3m ceremony in a figure hugging floor-length dress by Oscar de la Renta. I’m confused :P.
