Kate Bosworth

In Vogue’s February issue, Kate Bosworth addresses her much-publicized bouts with extreme weight loss.

“Whenever anything happens that's very painful or stressful, we all lose weight—my mother, my aunt, my grandmother,” the 25-year-old actress told the fashion glossy. “I honestly thought something was wrong with me....I was concerned for my health and my fans, the public. I would have said, don't look at this as the standard of some kind of beauty and health. [It was] a very dark time in my life.”

She also recounts the night she met her boyfriend, model-musician James Rousseau, at a Marc Jacobs after party. Ms. Bosworth was apparently surprised that he didn’t walk away from her; “I looked like a mess,” she said. But instead of leaving her in the dust, Mr. Rousseau confronted her and asked her if she was Kate Hudson. Embarrassing mix-ups notwithstanding, they left the shindig together and went to Maggie’s Pub for a round of beers and Bob Dylan tunes.

“He saw the potential,” she said of their first night together. “He wanted to fix me in a little way. And to be quite honest, he did. He was such a ray of light in my life.”  read more »

We knew it’d be good when we walked in and immediately spied a bar: the one element fashion shows have been missing all week. The crowd included Vogue editors, straight from the Erin Fetherston show, Dash Snow look-alikes, straight from perhaps the methadone clinic, and rapper Nick Cannon, wearing a suit and spiriting fiancé Selita Ebanks through the crowd to the front of the line. Photographers besieged Amanda Peet, sitting front row, until Kate Bosworth showed up, sending them into a tizzy. Ms. Bosworth rushed backstage, the entire press corps hot on her trail. Jamie Burke, ex of Sienna Miller and Courtney Love, slumped in the front row wearing sunglasses and not appearing to have washed his hair.

And the safari-casual clothes—wow! Or maybe it was the models (among them Jessica Stam, Liya Kebede, Sasha Pivovarova, Angela Lindvall, and Coco Rocha)—not emaciated or even angular, but just plain hot. The show ended with a bang!—or rather, a Brazilian in a short black evening dress, and the crowd went wild—at least, as much as their Botox would permit. The label’s young designers, David Neville and Marcus Wainwright, stepped out for a humble wave, wearing jeans. Maybe it was the low lighting, but we thought their eyes looked a little misty.
