MOST UN-BLACK SWAN LIKE: MILA KUNIS It’s more than that, it’s positively pretty. All lacey and lilac-y and girly and flowy, Mila, who not only managed to hold her own with Natalie Portman in the film, proves that she ain’t bad in the style stakes either. For her very first Oscars, this is stellar choice. It says, “I’ve made it, kind of, but I’m not going to be flashy about it. I’m keepin’ it real.” feedback@thepunch.com.au (Nedahl Stelio) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/oscar-fashion-updates/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/oscar-fashion-updates/#item5249 Mon, 28 Feb 2011 01:51:57 +0000 Nedahl Stelio | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/emmys-red-carpet-verdict/ Most OTT: January Jones Look, I applaud her for going there. She really experiments and most likely wants us to know she’s not the inspid, vacant, pretty doll character she plays on Mad Men. She’s really driving that point home here, ‘cause holier-than-thou Betty Draper wouldn’t be caught dead in this! I’m not saying I like it. Far from it. It’s too blue, too shiny, too short in the front and too long in the back, not to mention those pointy bosoms, where did they come from and WHY?  And try as I might, I can’t figure out WTF the dress is made of. Is it furry fabric? Does she think dressing like a descendant of the Cookie Monster is hot? The mind boggles. But I understand where she’s coming from. ‘Cause sure, Betty Draper looks beautiful and dresses amazingly, but I wouldn’t want to be known around Hollywood as the dumb blonde either, that’s a stereotype I’m sure would be often labelled on beautiful actresses. So January Jones is setting herself apart, and I say, let her. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Nedahl Stelio) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/emmys-red-carpet-verdict/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/emmys-red-carpet-verdict/#item3932 Mon, 30 Aug 2010 06:00:56 +0000 Nedahl Stelio | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-logies-2010-best-and-worst-dressed/ I love the Logies. Not for the Awards of course. Like most women, I live for the red carpet arrivals at these events. Who’s wearing what, who’s hot, who’s not. The Logies, more so than any other event in the world, is bound to have the most interesting outfits, purely because the concept of employing a personal stylist hasn’t yet taken off with our celebrities. And that is a fashion blogger’s paradise.

It seems the light-blue uniform isn’t scary enough and … I’m not sure exactly, do people stand pointing and laughing? Whatever the case, a new uniform is currently being designed to revamp their image. From Good Cop to Bad Ass. Riiiiiiight. Just like rappers knock their teeth out and insert gold replacements to show their hardcore wealth, or the way bikies intimidate with leather jackets and tattoos. I get it.  It’s no secret that the way you dress influences what people think of you, but really, the coppers? feedback@thepunch.com.au (Nedahl Stelio) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/work-it-copper-work-it/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/work-it-copper-work-it/#item2694 Tue, 23 Mar 2010 19:55:19 +0000 Nedahl Stelio | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-non-return-of-curvy-models-to-the-catwalk/ The fashion world was abuzz as word spread we were going to see rather buxom models in the Prada show (one of the most influential shows in the entire fashion spectrum) during Milan Fashion Week and really solidify the trend that bums were back, hips were big, curvy bodies were the next big thing. So the fashion press waited with baited breath to see what dizzying beauties Miuccia Prada had flown in to prove to the world that she was all for promoting voluptuous women. Who came down the catwalk? Victoria’s Secret models. You know, the ones with the ridiculously tiny thin bodies who also happened to be blessed with a B-cup (‘cause on a superslim body, a B-cup can look quite large. Most models have zero in the breast department. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Nedahl Stelio) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-non-return-of-curvy-models-to-the-catwalk/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-non-return-of-curvy-models-to-the-catwalk/#item2506 Sun, 28 Feb 2010 19:35:35 +0000 Nedahl Stelio | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/alexander-mcqueens-death-leaves-a-hole-on-the-catwalk/ It’s a sad sad day in fashion. One of the most brilliant designers of our time, Alexander McQueen has committed suicide and left behind a style world in mourning. For those of you who aren’t in fashion, this probably doesn’t mean a lot. Big deal, another poncy designer bites the dust. But this is a big deal. It reminds me of when Gianni Versace was killed, though I was probably too young to be sad then. This time round, when one of the greats is and it has left an empty hole on the catwalk. See, there aren’t many greats in the fashion world. That’s why they’re revered. Sure, there are lots of people who call themselves designers, but as Kate Moss said recently, rebuffing the remark that she was a designer to UK Harper’s Bazaar journalist Glenn O’Brien: “Um . . . I’m not really a fashion designer, I just love clothes. I’ve never been to design school. I can’t sketch. I can’t cut patterns and things. I can shorten things. I can make a dress out of a scarf.” feedback@thepunch.com.au (Nedahl Stelio) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/alexander-mcqueens-death-leaves-a-hole-on-the-catwalk/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/alexander-mcqueens-death-leaves-a-hole-on-the-catwalk/#item2383 Fri, 12 Feb 2010 00:58:57 +0000 Nedahl Stelio | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/The-logical-end-of-fashion-naked-clothes-horses/ Talk about a grand marketing plan! Last weekend, Love magazine, run by former Pop! Magazine Editor (and fashion industry icon) Katie Grand, started releasing their Issue #3 covers. The nude shots of Lara Stone, Kristen McMenamy, Daria Werbowy and Jeneil Williams were let loose on the internet, and didn’t the bloggers have a field day. I blogged about it. I got emails from friends to blog about it. I saw it on at least three other websites all marvelling over how we were getting to see these girls practically in their birthday suits. Fashion blogging land was in an excitable hoo hah. Naked supermodel? You’ve got to be kidding me! I’ve never seen that before. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Nedahl Stelio) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/The-logical-end-of-fashion-naked-clothes-horses/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/The-logical-end-of-fashion-naked-clothes-horses/#item2303 Tue, 02 Feb 2010 19:45:57 +0000 Nedahl Stelio | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-best-and-worst-fashion-of-the-decade/ Yes, there have been some corkers in the fashion world this past ten years – thigh high rubber boots usually worn to wade in alligator-infested swamps anyone? – but there have also been some winners. Pieces that women have been thankful to add on high rotation in their wardrobe. Here’s a round up of the best and worst trends of the decade. WORST The 80’s revival Those who are old enough to have gone through it once are also old enough to remember how horrifically unfashionable the 80’s were. All you have to do is look at Sarah-Jessica Parker then, and Sarah-Jessica Parker now to know that the 80’s should not be revisted. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Nedahl Stelio) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-best-and-worst-fashion-of-the-decade/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/the-best-and-worst-fashion-of-the-decade/#item2063 Wed, 23 Dec 2009 19:55:14 +0000 Nedahl Stelio | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/cougar-is-a-dirty-word/ When Demi Moore was quoted a few weeks ago in W magazine saying “I’d rather be called a puma than a cougar,” I was at first quite pleased. Somehow, puma seemed a nicer name (cougar, to me, sounds as cringeworthy as nails scratching on a blackboard) and I hoped it would catch on. But after some digesting, it dawned on me that calling women who go out with younger men ‘pumas’ isn’t any more flattering. A puma is still a wild animal who feeds on innocent prey – which is where the term cougar comes from – and is just as offensive. Demi Moore, shame on you for thinking a prettier word will make you feel better. Besides, it’s not going to catch on. Unfortunately, the cougar is here to stay. feedback@thepunch.com.au (Nedahl Stelio) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/cougar-is-a-dirty-word/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/cougar-is-a-dirty-word/#item1844 Wed, 25 Nov 2009 19:55:42 +0000 Nedahl Stelio | Author bios | The Punch http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/thanks-to-fashion-racing-is-a-sport-that-involves-women/ So - members of the sporting community think its sacrilege for women to swan about in fashionable attire as horses race in the background (for in the background they most definitely are), do they? Well, I for one, think it’s cool. Australia is a sporting nation but with almost every other sport, women get cast aside -  shunted to a cheerleader’s outfit or a cold seat on the sidelines. But with the races, we practically have complete run of the place. Spring Carnival! Fashions on the Field!  Lawn parties! Make-up tents! Champagne! Vegetarian pies! Could it be any more female oriented? feedback@thepunch.com.au (Nedahl Stelio) Article http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/thanks-to-fashion-racing-is-a-sport-that-involves-women/#comments http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/thanks-to-fashion-racing-is-a-sport-that-involves-women/#item1619 Sun, 01 Nov 2009 20:00:24 +0000 Nedahl Stelio | Author bios | The Punch
