Wintour Defrosts Slightly For Max Azria's Flowing Gowns

Nicole Brydson — Sun, 09 Sep 2007 21:49:00 -0400

The Anna Wintour seal of approval is more elusive than catching a model feeding in her natural environment. At the BCBG Max Azria show in the main tent at Bryant Park on Friday, the Vogue editor-in-chief was seated quietly in the front row with a scrum of assistants towards the end of the first runway. (After all were seated, in came preggo Nicole Richie, surrounded by security wearing an oversized flowing sequined dress.)

Models emerged for their walk around the double U-shaped runway and Wintour’s head turned to glance at Max and wife Lubov’s designs. If she liked the oufit, her eyes—hidden behind dark black shades as always—followed the models as they made the bend around the center aisle. If she didn’t, the pout on her face intensified and she stared straight ahead, waiting for the next flowing gown to emerge. The ratio of pouts to pleasure was about equal.

Observer Staff — Sat, 26 Aug 2006 07:54:38 -0400

ERICA: I spoke with my lovely contact at Carolina Herrera the other day and apparently my dress is in. This is normally exciting news for a bride-to-be, but for me, it kicks the weight loss pressure into super duper high gear.

"OOOOH, your dress!" squealed my friend Liz. "Let's go see it." she said to me after I revealed this damning information to her on the phone. read more »

Letter From L.A.: Nicole Richie Lapdances, Blows Chunks At Ronson Bash

Observer Staff — Tue, 08 Aug 2006 18:36:22 -0400

On Monday, August 7, DJ and person-at-large Samantha Ronson had a birthday party at LA's premiere hotspot, Hyde.

Lindsay Lohan was there with her new beau—they're totally going steady!—Harry Morton, a hotel heir fond of headbands. So was Maroon 5 frontman Adam Levine, who was spotted by cameras leaving the party to go next door to pick up some cookies for Ms. Ronson. ("It's a birthday party," he explained, displaying inner clarity, to a TMZ cameraman.) The Good Charlotte guitarist wore a cut off t-shirt, accentuating his "sleeves."

But the real action was happening inside the Sunset Boulevard club, where, sources say, Nicole Richie was getting into the party spirit with her spirit of choice: Tequila! "She was so wasted!" said an attendant, who also said that Ms. Richie's drinking partner, Mary-Kate Olsen, was not doing anything to help the situation. "She was dancing on the tables and then she started giving lap dances to her friends and random guys, too."

And then it happened, under the copper ceiling, amidst the hanging candles. "Nicole puked right on the floor, like right in the middle of the club," said the source. "Everyone saw! But I guess she didn't care. She kept partying."

"She loves tequila," said the source, a friend of Ms. Richie's. "But you know, she's so small—and she probably didn't eat anything that day. So you know, she probably had a couple shots and it just happened. She was just having a good time." —Spencer Morgan
