When it comes to the Thanksgiving table, how you dress it is often as important to the hostess as what food sits upon it. Over the years, I've seen family members fuss over table settings, switching out placemats, rethinking china sets, and shifting floral arrangements.
I admit that I'm known to fuss over my Thanksgiving table as well.

When you're talking fashion, there are a lot of rules about color. No white after Labor Day. Black and brown clash.

Kristen Stewart looked snazzy in her suspenders, rolled-up jeans, and blazer while posing at a photo call with Taylor Lautner in Mexico City today. The two have already been quite the jet-setting duo promoting New Moon, but aren't causing the same level of frenzy that Robert Pattinson has been in Japan. Today we got a sneak peek at Kristen trading in her casual style for formal wear in her Harper's Bazaar shoot with Rob.

If you don't believe that big hair is back, here's pouf — er, proof. Last night at the Hollywood Awards, the always-soignée Hilary Swank appeared wearing a bouffant worthy of Ladybird Johnson. (Hers wasn't even the only crunchy-meets-sleek look of the night, just the most voluminous.) Hilary's long been known for a certain brand of demure elegance, and while this look was certainly classy, it was also a lot more formal and constructed than we usually see her hair.

Jamie-Lynn Sigler looked simply stunning on the red carpet tonight. She pulled all of her hair back in a not-too-perfect updo that looked right at home at the Emmys. Her makeup was equally as beautiful.

Sunday's Mad Men told me more than I ever wanted to know about childbirth in the '60s. Betty Draper is hushed away from her husband upon arriving at the hospital, forced to fill out paperwork midcontractions, and bossed around by an unsympathetic nurse whose bedside manner approximates a warden's — you made your bed now have your baby in it.
What did I expect anyway — for Betty to have her baby in the master bath while Don burned lavender and massaged her shoulders.

Taylor Swift chose a soft and romantic look for tonight's MTV Video Music Awards. Her hair looks like what you'd expect to see on a bride on her wedding day. Yes, it might be a little too formal for this occasion, but given her age and her innocence, I think it works well on Taylor.

Filming for the Sex and the City 2 movie continued yesterday as the girls dressed up in classic '80s attire. Carrie had a funky Madonna vibe, Miranda was formal, Charlotte was very preppy whilst Samantha went for full-on bad taste! I love the clashing prints of Samantha's ensemble complete with red buckle boots (very similar to a Chloe pair from Autumn 2009).
