Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Match In His & Hers Suits At The 2014 BAFTAs (PHOTOS)

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt Match In His & Hers Suits At The 2014 BAFTAs (PHOTOS): Nothing says we're in love like matching outfits. (Remember Britney and Justin's denim-on-denim ensembles?) But for the 2014 BAFTA Awards, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took couples style to another level with his and hers suits.



The incredibly sexy twosome were well-suited in black and white as they hit the BAFTAs red carpet in London on Sunday to support Brad's film, "12 Years A Slave." Angelina added sex appeal to her menswear-inspired Saint Laurent look with loose waves, cat-eye makeup, an undone bow tie, and high heels. Meanwhile, her hubby is still sporting that new haircut and his signature smoldering gaze.



Check out the duo's 2014 BAFTAs matching style below and tell us what you think.

The Biggest Makeup No-No A Woman Can Make In Midlife

The Biggest Makeup No-No A Woman Can Make In Midlife: By Cecily Kellogg



2014-02-07-TN181_darkLipstick_720x340_F.jpg






I stumbled across an article this morning that said women in their 40s shouldn't wear dark or dramatic lipstick because the color can get trapped in fine lines around the lips, making them look older. I felt a flare of rebellion at the idea. In fact, right now I am wearing a deep burgundy lip stain because, well, that'll show 'em.



Yet I chose the lip color I'm wearing because it's a lip stain rather than a lipstick, and is therefore far less likely to bleed into those little cracks that I do, indeed, now have around my mouth. I found myself looking online for tips to prevent my lipstick from bleeding (which is apparently a rather complicated process involving foundation and cotton swabs dipped in powder), because I don't want to highlight my age with a bad makeup choice. It's a delicate balance for a woman of a certain age.



I don't care how many charming articles I see declaring that "40 is the new 30." It's bullshit. For me, 45 isn't graceful midlife. By the time I get my seven-year-old daughter to sleep at night, I collapse like I've finished a marathon. By 8:30 p.m. -- when I used to just be leaving the house to go out for the night -- I am stick-a-fork-in-me done.



Physically, I haven't enjoyed getting older. Not one bit. The last 10 years have been hard as hell, and I am feeling every single one of those years down to the bones. I have wrinkles, I have arthritis in my knees, and I am so damn tired at the end of every day. Let's not even discuss the fact that I can no longer read anything in dim light and have to wear reading glasses whenever I wear my contact lenses.



Of course, there is so much overwhelming good that comes with being "aged" like a good cheese. (I'd say wine, but I'm a recovering alcoholic.) I know who I am and I no longer feel I have something to prove to other people, and I no longer feel any need to apologize for things that I once believed made me "uncool." I can freely announce that I love crappy vampire fiction and mediocre television shows. There's no need to force myself to see every brilliant art film made; I don't always want to see dark movies that make me question the role of humanity. Sometimes, I just want to watch shit blow up.



I like myself -- and my life -- more now than at any other point in my history. This is critically important, and I wouldn't trade it for anything the world.



So for now, I'm accommodating my age while I continue to battle it. I'm treating my knees with care, I'm working to lose weight and be healthy, and I make sure I get plenty of sleep and eat well. I bit the bullet and bought higher quality makeup because my older skin doesn't cope well with the drugstore stuff any more. I celebrate my 20-year happy marriage, and I take good care of my mother.



My grandmother wore her age with pride. She got her hair done weekly and never once considered covering her gray. And she never wore dark lipstick.



Not me. I flamboyantly dye my hair (currently, it's a lovely ombre pink -- yes, pink!), I still wear my beloved liquid eyeliner, and I will continue to wear my dark lipstick with pride.



I'm not ready for the crone phase. I'm not sure I'll ever be.

Fall's Nude Nail Trend Is For The Ultimate Lazy Girl (PHOTOS)

Fall's Nude Nail Trend Is For The Ultimate Lazy Girl (PHOTOS): The manicures models sported on the runways at New York Fashion Week Fall 2014 were decidedly nude. While there were the typical fall nail color shades of burgundy, gray, green and navy present, designers took a different direction this season by pairing their heavier and textured fabrics with nude nails.



Celebrity and editorial manicurist Jin Soon Choi, who perfected the barely-there nails at Theory, coined the look the "ultimate lazy girl manicure." She even skipped the base and top coats at the show to achieve the sheerest wash of color.



Meanwhile, Essie cosmetics founder Essie Weingarten led the mani pack at Fashion Week with her flesh-toned polishes popping up at countless shows. Maybe it's time to strip it all off and go nude!



Scroll down to see the nude nail trend from Fashion Week, plus the exact nail polish colors manicurists used to get the look.

The Oscar-nominated actor, 39, sat front row with Vogue Editor-in-Chief Anna Wintour as Waterhouse walked the runway at the Burberry Autumn/Winter 2014 show for London Fashion Week. The 22-year-old model wore a sheer lace dress and scarf as she marched down the catwalk.

Kate Middleton Repeats A Red Dress, Looks Amazing As Usual

Kate Middleton Repeats A Red Dress, Looks Amazing As Usual: Kate Middleton has become, for lack of better words, the Queen of repeat dressing.



Just a few weeks ago, she reminded us how beautiful her floor-length Jenny Packham gown still is when she slipped it back on for her first engagement of the year. This time, she repeated a red Alexander McQueen number for a reception at Buckingham Palace on Monday. Kate looks gorgeous in the dress she first wore to the Queen's River Pageant back in 2012.



Queen Elizabeth II also stunned in a blue dress similar to the one Kate wore in London last week. Perhaps she has been taking fashion cues from the Duchess even amidst her forecasted royal makeover.



Either way, the royals look lovely. Here's hoping for more of Kate in repeat dresses for 2014.

Julianne Hough Talks Relationships, Italian Food And How To Take The Perfect Selfie

Julianne Hough Talks Relationships, Italian Food And How To Take The Perfect Selfie: Julianne Hough graces the cover of Self magazine's March issue and inside, spills details on everything from relationships to her guilt-free pleasure to fitness tips.



"I'm a relationship girl, and I feel so grateful for the ones I've been in," said the 25-year-old, who was romantically linked to Ryan Seacrest for almost three years, until they split in March 2013. "They've been excellent -- I've been hurt but never angry -- and they've helped me grow to be who I am today. But my goal has been to be single for an entire year. There have been moments when I'm like, 'This sucks!' But my dad used to say to me, 'When you feel happy with who you are, you won't need anybody to fill a void.' So for now, I'm focusing on my work and my soul. I honestly don't care if I meet somebody or not. I'm just loving life on my own with my own two feet on the ground."



Just this past weekend, TMZ spotted the dancer-turned-actress hand in hand with a new man, hockey player Brooks Laich.



The fit blonde also spoke of her love of food: "Eating is an experience for me. It's like, This might be my last meal, so I better have everything on the menu! I love a really good Italian dinner: an artichoke salad, penne with red sauce and a margarita pizza. And then it's fun to go to another place for dessert because it makes the moment last longer."



"I'm the queen of Yogurtland. I put graham crackers on the bottom, then a swirl of yogurt and then more topping, so it's like a parfait. By the time I'm finally done, the thing costs like 12 bucks!"



A girl after our own heart!



And though she's a pro in front of the cameras, Hough has a few secrets of her own when handling social media photos. In the magazine, she reveals how to get the perfect selfie: "Get the Camera+ app, set it to night exposure, take the picture 20,000 times and use the Instagram Mayfair filter."

Christie Brinkley Wows At Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition Party: Christie Brinkley wowed on the pink carpet Monday night (Feb. 17) at a Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Edition party.



The 60-year-old supermodel was nothing short of stunning in a low-cut orange dress with her hair in voluminous curls as she posed for photographers at the Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Editions' 50th Anniversary Pink Carpet event in New York City. The carpet was colored a bubblegum hue in honor of Barbie, who appears in the 2014 issue.



While Chrissy Teigen, Nina Agdal and Lily Aldridge landed the cover of this year's Swimsuit Edition, SI legend Brinkley made a splash with her own swimsuit cover on People magazine.



"She looks phenomenal," MJ Day, senior editor for Sports Illustrated's Swimsuit Edition, told People. "She has the legs of a 30-year-old and the face of an angel. She's what you aspire to look like at 60. She's mind-blowingly beautiful."



After the event, she ate some pasta and watched Jimmy Fallon's "Tonight Show" debut.

Bar Refaeli , born June 4, 1985) is an Israeli model and occasional actress, most known for her modeling work and for her relationship with American actor Leonardo DiCaprio. She is the cover model of the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue.



==Early life==

Bar Refaeli was born in 1985 to a Israeli Jewish family in Hod HaSharon, Israel. Her parents, Rafael and Tzipi, own a horse ranch. Her mother was a successful Israeli model in the 1970s, under her maiden name Tzipi Levine. Refaeli has three brothers. She began a modeling career at the age of eight months, appearing in commercials. She had to wear braces in her early years, postponing her modeling. At age 15, Refaeli returned to modeling with the representation of Irene Marie Models.



==Career / Modeling career==

Refaeli began her modeling career before the age of 8 months for a baby commercial. By age 15, she was featured in campaigns for the fashion brands Castro and Pilpel, also starring in a commercial for Milki. Refaeli won the title "Model of The Year" in a beauty contest in 2000 and 2001. She was also chosen to be the home model of Renuar fashion network and appeared in their summer 2002 and winter 2003 catalogs.



Refaeli appeared in ELLE (France), Maxim, and GQ (Italy). She debuted in the 2007 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, becoming the first Israeli model to appear in the magazine. In the issue, she posed with rock band Aerosmith.



She has been the spokesperson for fashion brand Luisa Cerano. She has modeled for Subaru, Accessorize, Brazilian clothing line, Besni, Italian jewelry line Marco Bicego, and Rampage.



In 2008, Refaeli became the face of clothing line Hurley, and the Diddy cologne, "I Am King."



On February 9, 2009, it was announced that Refaeli is the 2009 Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue cover model. A photo from the shoot, featuring a bikini-clad Refaeli, was also painted on the side of a Boeing 737 in a promotional deal with Southwest Airlines, leading many passengers to criticize Southwest for using an image they regarded as inappropriately sexual and "offensive to families".



She is signed to Storm Model Management in London, and 1/One Management in New York City.



On March 5, 2009, Refaeli received the "World Style Award," presented by the Women's World Awards, for her "natural elegance, sense of style and compassion."



Refeali co-hosted Fashionable Istanbul's press conference announcing the October 2009 fashion event, and also appeared in its advertising.



==Film and television career==

Refaeli co-starred the Israeli TV series Pick Up in 2005. In October 2008, she co-hosted the Bravo special program Tommy Hilfiger Presents Ironic Iconic America, based on the book Ironic Iconic America written by George Lois. She returned as a program host in 2009, this time for MTV's brief revival of House of Style.



In 2009, she will star in an English-language film, Session, directed by Israeli Haim Bouzaglo. The film is a psychological thriller that tells the story of a manipulative psychiatrist, Josh Tellman, who becomes obsessed with a new young patient named "Jibbs."



==Philanthropy==

Refaeli volunteers for Project Sunshine, a non-profit organization providing free services and programs for children facing life-threatening illnesses. She has also volunteered for organization Ahava, which has been caring for pets abandoned in Northern Israel during the 2006 Israel-Lebanon conflict.



Bar Rafaeli and film director Shahar Segal have agreed to do a gratis campaign under the slogan "One Bag Less" to reduce the use of plastic bags.



==Personal life==

Previously linked to Baywatch actor David Charvet and Uri El-Natan, Refaeli began a relationship with American actor Leonardo DiCaprio in November 2005 after meeting him at a Las Vegas party thrown for members of U2. In the course of their trip to Israel in March 2007, the couple met with Israeli president Shimon Peres and visited Refaeli's hometown of Hod HaSharon. The relationship ended in June 2009.



In 2007, a controversy arose when it became widely known that Refaeli had married a family acquaintance and divorced him soon after in order to avoid military service in the Israel Defense Forces, which is mandatory for both men and women over the age of 18, with certain exemptions. As a result of the adverse publicity, the Israeli Forum for the Promotion of Equal Share in the Burden threatened to boycott the fashion chain Fox if they hired Refaeli, but the two sides reached a compromise in which the model agreed to visit injured IDF soldiers on visits to Israel and encourage enlistment in the army.
