Celebrity Gossip: Salma Hayek Ties the Knot for the Second Time This Year

Salma Hayek has officially tied the knot (for the second time) with French billionaire Francois-Henri Pinault, and the beautiful wedding took place in Venice, Italy on April 25, 2009. The couple exchanged vows at La Fenice, one of Venice's historic opera houses. Valentina, the couples' 19-month-old-daughter, played her part as the flower girl, and Francois-Henri's son and daughter, ages 10 and 8, helped with the ceremonies. Over 150 guests attended this celebrity wedding, and the VIP guest list included the likes of Charlize Theron, France's former President Jacques Chirac, Penelope Cruz, Anna Wintour and Woody Harrelson.

The theme of this fabulous event was even more romantic with the 'The Carnival in Venice' masked ball; guests were asked to dress head to toe in black, and sport a gold mask as soon as they arrived at the gates. Salma Hayek arrived in a beautiful navy and blue gown and a pair of criss-cross strap stiletto sandals. The ball took place in an historic courtyard, a place that was once used as a trading spot and marketplace by merchants during the 15th century. It was a grand event that gave guests a chance to have fun and dance under the stars.

Interestingly enough, this was the couple's second wedding celebration of the year. The first wedding took place over Valentine's Day in Paris, but Wedding Number Two was designed just for Italy and brought together the couple's closest family and friends for a fun adventure through Venice's most notable sights. The rehearsal dinner took place at the Punta Della Dogana, a regal building that guards the south entry of the Grand Canal in Venice.

People Magazine reports that this wedding cost nearly $2 million; Salma Hayek wore a stunning Balenciaga wedding gown by Nicholas Ghesquiere, and she carried a bouquet of orchids and stephanotis covered with crystals.

The couple's guests were given a grand tour of Italy the day they arrived, and were spotted all over the city doing some last-minute shopping, enjoying some classic Italian food at local eateries, and soaking up the sun. It was an extravagant and joyful weekend that gave both the wedding guests and the happy couple a chance to enjoy the best of beautiful Venice.

Celebrity Style: Handbags, Little Black Dresses, and Liquid Latex Leggings

Follow the latest celebrity fashion trend by carrying about a handbag that makes a statement. This can mean a large tote handbag or even a smaller handbag that is a bold color, has beads or has a bold print. This season celebrities are letting their handbags speak for themselves. Choose a large, red, striped handbag like Blake Lively was seen carrying. Or you can go with a beautiful clutch that is covered in metallic sequins like the one by Be & D. This is actually one of the more doable celebrity fashion trends to follow because there are plenty of statement handbags that you can buy. Also, you don't have to be worried about it drawing as much attention to you as a statement top would. It's a more subtle statement.

Every woman knows that you can't go wrong with the little black dress. Well, celebrities are no exception on this one. You can find a little black dress popping up on every red carpet in Hollywood. Such celebrities as Charlize Theron, Kelly Ripa, Jennifer Aniston, Heidi Klum and Reese Witherspoon have all worn the little black dress and done it with style. When looking for your little black dress, look towards the celebrity style and find one that stands out a little bit. Maybe it's belted at the waist with a gold belt or has pleating in the front. Making your little black dress a little more interesting is a great way to stand out and still fit in at every event. This is a great time of year, with Christmas parties and events coming up, to invest in your little black dress.

One celebrity fashion trend that may take some more guts to pull off is the liquid latex leggings. These leggings appear as if they have been basically glued on to your legs. They appear to be leather but are actually latex. Celebrities such as Rihanna, Kate Moss, Lauren Conrad and Alicia Keys have all been rocking these leggings. But beware; these leggings are not for the ordinary, everyday person. They are for the person who wants to be noticed and get attention!

Celebrity Gossip: Circus, Sex-Changes, and "Just Friends"

It appears that Britney Spears is doing her best to make a comeback. Britney's latest album, "Circus," is being released next month, and it seems like she has some big plans for it. On Britney's Celebrity MySpace page, she put up four pictures of her auditioning male dancers "in anticipation of next month's Circus." Britney is planning to have her own concert tour next year, and she just sang a song with Madonna last week at the pop star's concert. At the concert, Britney appeared really put together, like she is serious about her music once again. So, maybe she finally has cleaned up her life and is going back to the old Britney Spears. I can hear Britney fans all over the world rejoicing!

Here's some really odd news. Actresses Nicole Kidman and Charlize Theron will be filming a movie together and will be playing husband and wife! The movie, The Danish Girl, is based on a novel about true-life Danish artists Einar and Greta Wegener. Kidman will play Einar, who dresses as a woman for one of his wife's portraits. Well, the portrait gains so much fame that Einar actually continues to dress as a woman and undergoes a sex-change operation. The movie is still in preproduction right now. I just find this really odd that Nicole Kidman will be playing a man (dressing as a woman), because her looks are so feminine.

Once again, The Hills star, Lauren Conrad, was spotted out with her boy, Kyle Howard. The two attended jazz night at Teddy's together. The couple cuddled together at the corner of the bar, and it was quite apparent that the two are more than just friends, even though neither one has come out and made it official that they are together. I don't know who they are fooling? If they really want to say they are just friends, how about acting like just friends out in public!

Celebrity Fashion: UGG Boots, Belts, Metallics

Oct 7, 2008 by Tiffany B

Celebrities are still obsessed with wearing UGGs. For the past two years, UGG boots have been in fashion for the colder weather, and it seems like this year is no exception. Jamie Pressly was seen wearing her UGGs on the way into the Conan O'Brien show. Minnie Driver was spotted shopping wearing UGGs a few weeks back while she was still pregnant. Other celebrities that have been seen wearing UGGs lately include Sienna Miller, Hilary Duff, Blake Lively and Katherine Heigl. This is probably one celebrity fashion trend that is actually worth looking into. UGG boots are quite comfortable and can be worn with anything from jeans to a pair of sweatpants.

Another celebrity trend that appears to be going nowhere this season is the belt. It seems like celebrities are putting belts on every outfit - everything from a dress to a blouse to even a plain t-shirt. Practically every woman celebrity, at one time of another, has belted a dress or top on the red carpet. The trick with this fashion trend is choosing the right belt for the outfit and your body. There are tons of different belts available, such as skinny ones, wide ones, jeweled ones and plain, simple ones. Belting an otherwise shapeless shirt or dress is a great way to show off your figure. Such celebrities as Lauren Conrad, Heidi Klum, Leighton Meister and Fergie all seem to do a good job with that fashion trend.

One big celebrity fashion trend that can be seen on the red carpet is the use of metallic colors. Metallic dresses, handbags, belts and even shoes are popping up everywhere in Hollywood. Such celebrities as Eva Longoria Parker, Hayden Panettiere, Sophia Bush, Britney Spears, Ashanti, Audrina Patridge and Charlize Theron are all sparkling in metallic colors. If you are shy about standing out in metallics this season, go for metallic accessories such as handbags or shoes. You can still have the Hollywood fashion but without all the fuss. With all the holiday parties coming up, metallics are a great fashion trend to follow.

Don't Leave Home Without Your Clutch

So, you have an evening out and you don't want to bring your huge handbag with you. What would a celebrity do, you ask? Well, clutches are huge among celebrities now. Not only do they use them for red carpet events, they also take them on vacations and for nights out on the town. Such celebrities as Cameron Diaz, Sarah Jessica Parker, Karina Smirnoff and Carrie Underwood have all been seen sporting clutches to big events and nights out around town. When you go for a clutch, keep it simple and remember that you can't put that many items into it. A makeup compact and a cell phone will probably just fit in one. A favorite with celebrities are cute dressy styles from Alexander McQueen and for a less dressy look, try Michael Kors.

What celebrity trend doesn't seem to be going anywhere anytime soon? Plunging necklines. It seems like dresses and tops are getting lower and lower. Celebrities just love it. I guess if you have it you might as well flaunt, right? Well, that's what they are doing. At any red carpet event, you are likely to see at least one celebrity wearing a very daring, plunging neckline. Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron and Cynthia Nixon all wore plunging necklines to movie premieres this summer. While other celebrities such as Victoria Beckham, Nicole Richie and Sandra Bullock have been seen wearing plunging necklines out around the town this summer. If you want to pull of this celebrity trend, you may want to purchase some double-sided tape to keep yourself from having a wardrobe malfunction. And, if you have a rather large chest, this celebrity trend may not be for you after all.

If you are not daring enough for a plunging neckline, then you still have a couple more weeks for cute summer sundresses. Long or short, celebrities love to relax or stroll around town shopping in sundresses. This is a definite celebrity fashion trend that all can wear. Pick a style of sundress that looks best on your body and you too can be a celebrity fashion diva.

Celeb Style: One Shoulder Dresses and Yellow

The one shoulder dress has returned with celebrities.

Several celebrities have been seen wearing one shoulder dresses at events and parties. The one shoulder dress highlights the arms and the back and keeps the look sophisticated. Kate Moss is very into one shoulder dresses. Liv Tyler was seen wearing a one shoulder dress by Stella McCartney to the Incredible Hulk premiere. Other celebrities that glam it up in one shoulder dresses are Mandy Moore, Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Paris Hilton, Anne Hathaway and Becki Newton. The one shoulder dress is not the only article of clothing that is trendy with celebrities right now. Look out for one shoulder tops and blouses and also one shoulder bathing suits.

Yellow, yellow and more yellow. It seems like everywhere you turn you see someone wearing this bright summertime color. Yellow is huge among celebrities right now. Molly Sims wore a long yellow Versace dress on the red carpet, while Emmy Rossum sported a short yellow Phillip Lim dress to an event. The most dramatic yellow dress was worn by Rihanna. The dress was a long layered tiered dress by Giambattista Valli. She looked like she could have been Belle from "Beauty and the Beast." Shirts and shoes in yellow are also very trendy right now. If you are unsure about wearing a yellow dress, opt for a yellow shirt or add a splash of color to an outfit with yellow shoes. Just don't pair your yellow with too much black, as you may end up looking like a bumblebee.
