We are wavering on Cameron Diaz’s Oscar look this year. She usually goes messy and undone, with messy hair – or very very sexy. This is her image – hot chick with hot bod. So for her to suddenly emerge in “princess” mode – in the biggest, most old-school ballgown of the Oscars, by Oscar de la Renta – with red lips and perfectly waved hair – well, it was too much of a shock. We couldn’t even see her figure, let alone imagine it. It was like she was angling for something – to suddenly be seen as a good girl or a young mom? Then she did double duty (as just a few other stars did – like Jennifer Lopez) – changing for the Vanity Fair party into a same-color cocktail dress, also very demure for her: not short, not low cut. What’s up with Cameron Diaz’s grown up act? We get the feeling she’s trying to be taken “seriously” – and going a little too far. Cameron, bad girl suits you MUCH better – even if it’s only a stylistic choice. And is it US, or was her hair suddenly MUCH longer for the VF party at the Sunset Tower Hotel?

Kim Kardashian had more reason than most to be excited about the Superbowl – her man Reggie Bush plays for The Saints. She even had her nails done to cheer on the New Orleans team – and it seems to have worked! She may single-handedly bring back nail art. Meanwhile, Katie Holmes – with husband Tom Cruise and his new co-star Cameron Diaz from “Knight and Day” – is always uncannily fashion forward. At a CAA pre-Superbowl party, she wore a flight style leather jacket and army green, the hot new – well, that really THAT new – for spring. Get ready for army jackets and khaki to make a giant comeback.

It’s proof the Golden Globes have become increasingly important in the Hollywood firmament by their hosts, their presenters, their growing ratings on NBC, and the seriousness of the hair styles! Long straight or wavy hair may take grooming and time – and it might look very pretty – but it conveys “daytime,” as Julia Roberts’ bouncy locks confirmed at the Golden Globes. A chic shiney chignon or up-do conveys “serious” and “black tie,” as we’ve always known about the Oscars. This Saturday night, at the Screen Actor’s Guild Awards, we expect to see more hair down and wavy – and gowns and dresses that are less structured, don’t have trains – it will all come down at least a notch. But here are the tight topknot bunch from the Golden Globes red carpet: Marion Cottilard, Drew Barrymore, Cameron Diaz, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Kate Hudson. It’s clear hairdressers were thinking alike when they used shine products like Moroccan Oil (which is what Mark Townsend used on Marion Cottilard’s tight top knot) to gloss up up the locks, and make them shiney and close to the head – this allows the eye to always go straight to the body and the gown. It also makes eyes more prominent.

Cameron Diaz almost always wears some pretty controversial dresses to the Globes and Oscars – remember that Chinese Ungaro that one year? That was scary. But one must give her credit for having real fashion nerve – unlike someone like Jennifer Aniston, who always wears the exact same dress by a different designer (this year, Valentino). Cameron’s red satin floor length Alexander McQueen looked like a full length hit of shiny red lipgloss – it was NOT SHY. She clearly has the figure to pull if off, that’s for sure – and it fit her well and showed off her figure in a great light. The color, though, was better suited to television than to the carpet. And particularly to the rain, and to this umbrella – but that isn’t really her fault. At least her hair was pulled back and not dishevelled and she let the dress do all the talking – cause this dress isn’t quiet. We do love the McQueen flared and slightly puffed shoulder. It’s a well shaped dress.

Madonna is wearing them! The Material Girl has kept her hair the virtually the same way – blonde, parted on the side, and wavy – for years. Now, all of a sudden, she’s sporting a thick fringe, on the London arm of her “Sticky and Sweet” tour – dressed, not surprisingly, in that eighties way Cameron Diaz was sporting in the new V Magazine – imitating Madonna! We like that Madonna doesn’t vary her look that much. It’s just going to be tough and filled with leather and boots and fishnets – it really goes full circle, to where she started out.
Anyway, if Madonna’s wearing thick bangs, who’s next? Giselle? – Merle Ginsberg

The eighties are back in fashion this fall – for about the umpteenth time since they went away! But that’s okay, we love them anyway – as long as we don’t have to live in them again. But a little shoulder pad action and a tight skirt can never be a bad thing – right?

One of our favorite eighties fashion moments was Madonna in her “True Blue” persona – cropped platinum hair, deep red lips, and her Gaultier cone bra and high boots. Well, when you see the new issue of V Magazine this week, you’ll do a double take when you see the cover – of Cameron Diaz – and inside spread. Photographers Mert & Marcus (Louis Vuitton ads) shot Ms. Diaz a la Madonna in her “True Blue” moment – with tattoos (painted on on the set), in Prada shorts and boots, and a cone bra made by a stylist in London – from gaffer tape. Kids, don’t try this at home – unless you’re stylist Jen Rade.

We gotta say, Cameron’s done a lot of covers recently, always in her sunny smiley California girl mode, but we REALLY like her tough Madonna look – her body is her best feature, and this spread really features that. We know we’ve been talking a lot about V Magazine lately, but they’ve got some great visuals you might not see otherwise, www.vmagazine.com. W Magazine had Ginnifer Goodwin going eighties – V has Cameron Diaz. What does this tell you?

She wore a pretty white dress with a red belt, and didn’t look like she fell out of bed – that’s something for Cameron Diaz.

This was to her star-getting ceremony to the Hollywood Walk of Fame today, which had big name friends Tom Cruise, Katie Holmes and Lucy Liu there. We are looking forward to seeing Cameron’s new movie, “My Sister’s Keeper” – it looks fairly wholesome, and has more emotion than her usual rom coms.

 

BUT – what’s up with this makeup? Red lips, black eyeliner, smudged blush? Is this the best look for a sunny day? It might have been intended for on camera, but this is what the camera saw.

We always thought that Cameron Diaz was the L.A. girl who always wore the shortest skirts – but now we found a woman older than her who out-shorted her: check out Daryl Hannah’s skirt length (reminds us of the old joke: “that’s not a skirt – that’s a BELT!”) at a screening that Stella McCartney hosted at her Beverly Blvd screening Friday night. Stella showed “Home,” an environmentally oriented film, and drew the likes of Anjelica Huston, Charlize Theron, and Liv Tyler, all wearing Stella outfits, of course. We like Cameron’s SMc black and white dress a lot – but Daryl’s outfit is two sizes too small. And that is not environmentally correct. – MG

When Rachel Zoe was a creative consultant to Halston, at the time Harvey Weinstein was re-inventing the great line from the seventies, it was assumed she would soon launch her own collection. Instead, she did “The Rachel Zoe Project” tv reality show with Bravo, and is now shooting season two – as well as continuing to style Kate Hudson, Anne Hathaway, Cameron Diaz and Jennifer Garner. Now she’s telling reporters she is about to create a line of clothes for stores for 2010 – BUT – instead of it being pricey gowns and long hippie dresses like the ones she wears – she intends it to be – low priced!

It will include jewelry, perfume, and bags – no shoes yet, but we expect them. But HOW low priced can Rachel Zoe go?

If it’s going to Target, we don’t believe she’d wear it herself.
