Jon Favreau to Direct Disney's Magic Kingdom

Well now that most of the theme park attractions are having it's own movie, Disney has now set director Jon Favreau to make one big movie that makes use of everything Disneyland has to offer. The Iron Man helmer has come on board the studio's Magic Kingdom, a fantasy film that imagines what would happen if all the theme park's attractions secretly came to life. (Are they saying Donald Duck has been dead this whole time?) It's either Night at the Museum at Disneyland or The Avengers for silent, six-foot-tall animals who seek revenge on the bratty kids who've kicked them in the knees. Anyways, I'm so excited!!!!

Jason Wu Is Launching His First Bridal Collection

Jason Wu is doing a capsule collection of five bridal looks exclusively for net-a-porter.com, set to drop in January. This is a welcome but not hugely surprising direction for Wu, who often features bridal-inspired gowns in his ready-to-wear collections (most notably, Michelle Obama's inauguration dress), and recently designed his new sister-in-law's wedding dress as well as her bridesmaids' gowns for his brother's marriage in Taiwan a month ago. For now, the bridal collection is only a one-year deal with Net-a-Porter, and a spokeswoman for Wu said that he has no plans to do wholesale, full-scale bridalwear beyond that.

Emma Watson's One Sleeve Red Carpet Look

Emma Watson gave her short haircut its first red-carpet run today at an event for Warner Brothers Leavesden Studios at Claridges in London. She wore a black one-sleeved cocktail dress from Vionnet's fall 2010 collection, which featured a velvet bodice and a sheer layered chiffon skirt that draped over her hip. She spiced up her black outfit with a pearl-encrusted necklace, dangly earrings, a navy cuff bracelet, and a red pin at the waist.

Do you like Emma's eclectic look, or do you think she over-accessorized?

Next Year’s Costume Institute Gala Opens the Met’s Sure-to-Be-Stunning Alexander McQueen Exhibit

Vogue's annual Costume Institute Gala is poised to be an even more fabulous, heart-stopping, and emotional affair next year than it has been in years. The ball on May 2 will kick off the the Metropolitan Museum of Art's Alexander McQueen exhibit, titled "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty." The showcase, which will be open to the public from May 4 through July 31, includes roughly 100 pieces and already sounds beyond incredible.

The museum gathered pieces from everywhere from the graduate collection McQueen showed at Central St. Martins to items from the designer's days at Givenchy, where he worked in the late nineties, to works from his personal collections, including things he made for the late Isabella Blow, whose entire wardrobe Daphne Guinness now owns. "His catwalk presentations were outstanding and straddle art and fashion," the Met's Costume Institute curator, Andrew Bolton, says. "We want to get across two elements — the spectacle of the runway presentations and the beauty of his craftsmanship." The exhibit will also include runway pieces McQueen made with milliner Philip Treacy, among other collaborators.

The exhibit is sponsored by Condé Nast, the PPR-owned Alexander McQueen label, and American Express. Gala chairs include PPR chief François-Henri Pinault and his wife Salma Hayek, along with Colin Firth, Stella McCartney, and Anna Wintour. If you thought past red carpets at the ball were spectacular, just imagine all the vintage McQueen gowns fashion people will rustle up for next year's affair. If you already have a tingly feeling, you're not alone.

Uh, Oh!: American Airlines Lost Miranda Kerr’s Wedding Dress!!

American Airlines lost her luggage and now the poor thing has nothing to wear. Not only that, in her lost luggage was her wedding dress, and Ms. Kerr / Mrs. Bloom is not happy about it.

In a message posted to her Facebook page — on which she has over 368,000 fans — Kerr wrote:

Hi guys, I wanted to ask for your help… In July American Airlines lost my luggage and I have been trying to locate it ever since. Unfortunately the luggage had my wedding dress in it plus other things that I hold so dear. Has anyone else experienced losing luggage through American Airlines and if so did you ever locate it again? Any help would be greatly appreciated.Love Miranda xxx

Yikes. Kerr married actor Orlando Bloom in a secret ceremony back in July, which was followed by a honeymoon in the Caribbean. I can only assume that the luggage was lost upon Kerr’s return to the States. American Airlines, for their part, says Kerr is to blame for the hold up on her lost luggage. They released the following statement:

“Our customer relations department sent her a letter encouraging her to complete PPQ (questionnaire) so that we can search for her property, and we received no response at all.”

No offense to American Airlines, but they’re the ones that lost the luggage. Also, I know luggage is lost on a daily basis, but I can’t help but be suspicious of the fact that it was Miranda Kerr’s luggage that went missing. That’d be a tempting snatch for many an underpaid baggage handler, no?? And wasn't this the SAME airlines that "lost" some fashion designer's luggage too this year??

Marc Jacobs Dresses In Drag For Industrie

Everyone knows Marc Jacobs likes to rock manskirts and kilts on the regular, but it’s still a treat to see MJ done up in actual drag. For the latest issue of Industrie, Patrick Demarchelier shot Marc in thigh-high socks, animal print heels, a beautiful women’s winter coat and a huge hat. And while he donned a luscious lady wig, his facial hair remained intact.

This is not Marc’s first foray into drag, having been photographed in heels, tights and another fabulous jacket for Interview a couple of years ago. His Halloween costume this year also veered toward the feminine.

Miley Cyrus Launched Miley and Max Clothes Range

Miley Cyrus arrived in Derby to greet her British fans and launch the new Miley And Max clothes range for George at Asda. The star looked gorgeous in her black and white ensemble. She smiled to hundreds of teenagers and happily signed their DVDs with Hanna Montana series.

The collection includes 19 pieces and features tops, t-shirts, shirts and jeans. The designs are pretty simple that makes it easy to combine those with other clothing items.

You can shop for the latest Miley And Max Clothes Range at direct.asda.com.

Sneak Peek of Victoria Beckham's Handbag Collection

A lot has been written recently about Victoria Beckham’s debut bag collection for Spring/ Summer 2011. And now I have the first picture of those. The photo was tweeted by Grazia editor Jane Bruton.
There are only two bags on the photograph but the style is pretty clear –very classic, real luxury and extremely expensive. Can’t wait to see the rest!
