Twist Your Way to Abbie Cornish's Elegant Bun

Abbie Cornish stepped out for the premiere of her latest film, Seven Psychopaths, while sporting a sweet twisted side bun.

Abbie Cornish stepped out for the premiere of her latest film, Seven Psychopaths, while sporting a sweet twisted side bun. Her hairstyle was elegant but fun thanks to a small wave and a dramatic side part. Want to try this updo yourself? A hair elastic, some bobby pins, and hair spray are all you need to complete this style at home:

  1. Lightly mist hair with hair spray to give it some grip. Split it into a side part, and pull it into a low side ponytail.
  2. Divide the ponytail into two sections. Take the first section and twist it around the ponytail. Secure it with bobby pins.
  3. Take the second section and twist it around the bun you made with the first. Pin it with bobby pins.
  4. If you want a waved piece like Abbie wore, then loosen it from the bun and wind it around a one-inch curling iron. Pull to loosen the wave.
  5. Finish with a mist of hair spray.

Zoe Saldana wore Louis Vuitton as she struck a pose with Jaime King and Glee's Dianna Agron last night in NYC at Persol's Magnificent Obsessions event. The actresses were on hand to celebrate the eyewear brand's 30 Stories of Craftsmanship in Film party at the Museum of the Moving Image with other stars including Abbie Cornish and Patricia Clarkson, and were spotted trying on shades by the brand during the night out. The soiree was one of several that Zoe's attended in recent weeks. She was on the scene at the CFDA Awards and chatted up fellow celebrities at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic earlier this month. It's been a while since we've seen her on the big screen, but she'll return soon in The Words. Zoe stars in the movie with her ex Bradley Cooper, whom she reportedly split with in March after a three-month romance.

W.E. Trailer: Madonna Takes On Historical Romance

If you saw The King's Speech last year and were intrigued by the storyline between the king's brother King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, then you'll probably be interested in the trailer for W.E.

If you saw The King's Speech last year and were intrigued by the storyline between the king's brother King Edward VIII and Wallis Simpson, then you'll probably be interested in the trailer for W.E. Madonna directed and cowrote the film, which depicts the relationship between the former king who abdicated the throne to be with the woman he loved, American socialite Simpson. It's told in flashback through a modern-day woman in New York, Wallie Winthrop (Abbie Cornish), who is reading the letters of the old lovers. Wallie experiences a parallel to their torrid affair when she embarks on her own with a Russian security guard (Oscar Isaac).

The trailer makes the King Edward and Wallis Simpson story look heartbreakingly romantic, though I found myself less interested in Wallie's romance happening in the present day. I'm also curious to see how Madonna has handled the film, and though we have to wait until February 2012 to see it, you can watch the trailer when you keep reading.

Madonna Goes Daring in Purple and Red as W.E. Takes Flight at the Venice Film Festival

Madonna stepped out in a butterfly-bedecked Vionnet gown and matching sunglasses as she debuted her directorial project W.E.

Madonna stepped out in a butterfly-bedecked Vionnet gown and matching sunglasses as she debuted her directorial project W.E. at the Venice Film Festival this evening. The multitalented Madge gave the stars of her film, Abbie Cornish and Andrea Riseborough, a warm welcome on the red carpet, and she also had fans in Valentino and Marisa Tomei, who both turned up at the event. Reviews of W.E. have been mixed, but the period piece is so far faring better with the critics than her first effort behind the camera, 2008's Filth and Wisdom. Earlier today, Madonna gave a press conference to talk about the movie and credited her exes Sean Penn and Guy Ritchie with encouraging her directorial dreams. Madonna has dated several men in Hollywood, but the creative talents of her current flame lie elsewhere; Madonna's new beau, 24-year-old Brahim Zaibat, is a professional breakdancer.

They both encouraged me as a director and as a creative person to do what I did, and they were both very supportive."

Celebrity Trend Alert: Shoulder-Baring Frocks

Unlike a mini or maybe a plunging neckline, there are a few ways of revealing some skin that never feel, well, too revealing.

Unlike a mini or maybe a plunging neckline, there are a few ways of revealing some skin that never feel, well, too revealing. At the top of our list currently are shoulder-baring frocks, just the way fashion pack Alexa Chung, Michelle Monaghan, Abbie Cornish, and Julia Restoin-Roitfeld are showing them off. They're sexy, but not overt, leaving an exposed neckline to adorn with a fabulous statement necklace or dangling earrings. We love the feel of a looser, floral-print off-the-shoulder for a fresh '70s vibe by day, then slip into a body-con version and channel a sultrier side of the '80s by night.
