Movie-related merchandise is usually more scary than stylish, but Disney has upped the ante by asking the jeweler Tom Binns to create six special designs inspired by “Alice in Wonderland,” its forthcoming digital 3-D feature directed by Tim Burton. Each one is based on an event or character, including the Mad Hatter (played by Johnny Depp), the White Queen (Anne Hathaway) and Binns’s favorite, the evil Red Queen (Helena Bonham Carter). “For her necklace, I interspersed red lacquered hearts with vicious little pins and thorns,” says Binns, who is known for his love of the surreal. “With ‘Alice,’ I could be my mad self, but in the context of Tim Burton’s ‘Alice,’ my madness actually seemed rather tame.” The limited-edition pieces, including the broken-teacup necklace shown here, will retail for $1,000 to $1,500 in the spring. Look for a lower-priced collection, Tom Binns for Disney Couture, to be sold at the Tom Binns Megastore in New York and other boutiques. His lower-priced edition pieces will also be available online at Kitson & Fred Segal (online selections limited).

Gossip Girls’ Kelly Rutherford made her way to her front row seat at the Nicole Miller show yesterday, took one look at Beth Ostrosky, and they both burst out laughing. The two blondes, who were seated next to one another, were wearing the same Nicole Miller dress.

“We planned this,” joked Ostrosky as the two posed for pictures in their identical ensembles.

“It’s hysterical,” said Rutherford, “I just went and picked out the dress out an hour ago.” A fashion week veteran, the actress says the week-long event hasn’t lost any of its luster for her. “It is always exciting because with our work schedule, you never know what shows you are going to be able to make, so it’s really fun when you actually get to go,” said the actress, who is currently filming the third season of the hit CW series. A serious "no" in the fashion rules.
