Twilight, the new, slightly older, more mature and sensually charged Harry Potter-esque (vampires instead of wizards) movie has been racking up major buzz. The mere mention of Twilight gets millions of girls giddy at the thought of the fiercely romantic vampire/human novel. Well, that and Robert Pattinson, the lead in the movie. He’s so dreamy, isn’t he girls? All that crazy hair…

Of course, we here at Couture are also curious about the movie’s fashion and the effect on trends it will have for the Spring. Will we see an emergence of atypical teenage fare featured in the movie – hooded sweatshirts, jackets, T-shirts, jeans and sneakers, here and there – or will it filter out into a more punkish hybrid that some trends are already suggesting? Well either way, the movie looks like a lot of fun, and who doesn’t love effortless fashion? Check out the trailer, see the movie, and let us know what you think.

The lovely, talented Francophile Sofia Coppola will be exercising more of her director chops this fall when she shoots the new Dior Beauté Miss Dior Chérie fragrance, as reported in Fashion Week Daily on May 30. The award-winning Ms. Coppola is hardly new to directing — The Virgin Suicides, Marie Antoinette, Lost in Translation, to name a few, have made her the darling of the industry, so shooting a commercial for Dior should be a breeze. It has been leaked that she will shoot at Versailles in the style of Marie Antoinette. Does that mean pale faces, powdered wigs and lots of blood-red rouge stained lips?

An audible hush went round the world today, followed closely by a loud hooray. Why you ask? George Clooney has rejoined the ranks of single men again, so cocktail waitresses rejoice. Now is anyone surprised by this news, really? Really? The reports are that George tracked her down after meeting her three years ago at his birthday party, that he pursued her (work that out Ms. Sarah), but what did these two really have in common? Now, the arm candy prior to her was a brainy law student in Paris that he persuaded to come here (um, who wouldn’t for George) and that lasted four years. Exactly, she was brainy, beautiful and able to hold a conversation, sorry Sarah. I don’t normally cheer a celebrity anything, especially a breakup, but in this case I make an exception, 1. because it is George Clooney and 2. I have lots of friends who are cocktail waitresses/bartenders and they deserve a shot, no?

Well, in the sense of a scent anyway. Mr. Josh Hartnett was selected by Giorgio Armani, as reported in May 14 Women’s Wear Daily, to be the new face of his upcoming men’s summer scent, Diamonds. The scent as you already fashionably know exists for women, with Beyonce Knowles (Mrs. Jay-Z) as the brand’s face.

These days it seems fashion houses are recognizing that successful launches and sales are driven these days by film and music, so Ms. Knowles makes scent sense, since she is successful in both genres but, Mr. Hartnett? He is known for previous works like Black Dahlia, Pearl Harbor, and Hollywood Homicide – well, known in a bad way for those last two box office bombs – but it has been awhile since we have seen him in anything other than gossip glossies and Page Six news. Perhaps this really does prove, one need only have a handsome, scruffy face and an occasional movie. Well that and a buff bod, lets not forget about David Beckham. As if!

Ah, just seeing the initials SATC (Sex and the City), makes me yearn for a fruity martini and pine for the asphalt jungle that was the backdrop for the former HBO show and the upcoming movie. I admit, as much as I have tried, I have not been able to resist all of the pictures and trailers circulating on the internet that quietly beckon my attention. How can one not be anxious and thrilled that on May 30th, the girls — Sarah Jessica Parker, Cynthia Nixon, Kim Cattrall and Kristin Davis — will be back in fabulous fashionable force? Who doesn’t want to know what hijinks Samantha is up to or if Smith J. is back? Does Brady have a sibling yet? Is little Elizabeth Taylor et all still part of the story line? Will Big finally marry Carrie and what will the other starring characters — the wardrobe — be like? Considering the cult following the show had, and by all the blog accounts, the movie will be an instant hit. We will have to wait to see, but in the meantime, cosmopolitan anyone?
