Actress Viola Davis Moves Up Social Ladder; Sits Between Guru Stylist Andre Leon Talley and Vogue's Anna Wintour

VIOLA DAVIS is on the move!

She was spotted at Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week/ New York Fashion Week with her husband, and sitting between Anna Wintour from VOGUE and Andre Leon Talley, one of the bigwig stylists. must be really nice to sit between two fashion powerhouses.

By the way, Viola Davis is now a world-renowned actress after she won an Oscar for her outstanding performance in movie 'The Help.' Viola was also featured on VOGUE not too long ago.

More 'Mature' Models Grace Their Natural Beauty In Print And Runway: MERYL STREEP On VOGUE Jan. 2012 Issue

A lot of young and taut-faced models have always graced the cover of fashion magazines and it seemed timeless and also the standard of the fashion world, leaving more 'experienced' models in the dust after a certain period of time (meaning their 'model time' is almost up).

But lately, more 'mature' female models or 'COUGARS' for slang have boasted their power, extending the length of their modeling tenure with their natural beauty. Even though she is an actress and not a model, MERYL STREEP looks every bit the part of 'mature model'. She will grace the January 2012 issue of the American VOGUE Magazine.

I'm seriously feeling the vibe of Meryl and the serene nature around her. Very ANNIE LEIBOVITZ-ish atmosphere in photography. That's a good direction for many photographers to follow, is to just CAPTURE the essence of a beautiful moment in time.

Rihanna Channels Marilyn Monroe In New Issue of VOGUE Magazine

It's a classic throwback when people of today act, dress, or look like the stunning people of the past era (I think the greatest era was the first half of the 20th century). EBONY MAGAZINE did photo shoots similar to this in the past where Black celebs dressed as Muhammad Ali, Lena Horne, Diana Ross, and so on.

Here, check out RIHANNA in the newest VOGUE Magazine (probably an overseas version) channeling Marilyn Monroe with such grace. Check the blonde hair, square-cut top, and non-controversial silk gown.

A graceful look for any night on the town (above pic) as well as an easy transfer from business to lunch (below pic).

Flashback (to last week): NICKI MINAJ and Anna Wintour of VOGUE at Spring 2012 Fash Show

Yes, like other people were saying, Nicki Minaj and Anna Wintour would make an odd pair of friends. They were chatting it up at the Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 fashion show. It's only so rare that Anna Wintour would be seen chillin' with a pop star, but I strongly believe Nicki is quite honored.

Nicki wore a custom made leopard print leotard with Giuseppe Zanotti boots. the leopard wig is played up nicely. While I'm very sure she STOOD OUT FROM THE CROWD, many just didn't seem to mind because well... Nicki is Nicki.

Nicki just might nab her dream VOGUE spread...

RIHANNA's Official April 2011 Vogue Cover and Sneak Peek!

RIHANNA is working HARD, I mean HARD! She goes everywhere and has tremendous energy to travel around the globe to sing and do EVERYTHING. She looks like a aquatic superwoman on the April 2011 Vogue with her svelte body in a form-fitting gown which seems almost mystical with the print patterns and sheer fabric that appears as a second 'skin' over Rihanna's body. Let's not forget--how can we forget-- her FLAMING RED HAIR...

Anyway, Rihanna is on the cover of VOGUE, as many of you know by now, and she is BADDER THAN EVER with her massive international appeal and her hit songs that keep rolling out. Check out a couple pics of Rihanna from the Vogue photo shoot:

KANYE Behind-The-Scenes Photo Shoot for Vogue Italia

Check out KANYE WEST, ever so fresh, doing his photo shoot exclusively for VOGUE ITALIA, and my post comes with a video of the behind-the-scenes photo shoot. He was seen walking with his friend and personal stylist Cassius Clay, later followed by ballerinas in those really stiff skirts from the music video "Runaway."

His other stylist, Jonathan Pavlick, goes through Kanye's clothes on the rack pointing out Kanye's favorite brands, in which Lanvin and Tom Ford sits on the top tier of favorites. Check out pics and video below.
