Australia: A Romantic Wardrobe, Part I Today, the highly anticipated romantic adventure
Australia, directed by Baz Luhrmann, releases. I had the opportunity to preview the film, in all its romantic glory, as well as to speak with the costume designer, Catherine Martin. We also had a fun fete at the San Francisco Ferragamo store, in honor of Lady Ashley's shoes in the movie — all designed by the Italian fashion house.

Did you happen to go see Australia this weekend? If
my first words with costume designer Catherine Martin didn't pique your interest maybe these will. Some specific items of clothing stood out to me in the film — notably the colors of Lady Ashley's clothes, her belts, and her red Chinosierie dress.

was surprised at how much I ended up enjoying
Four Christmases starring Reese Witherspoon and Vince Vaughn, and maybe some of the early buzz from others who also liked it helped the holiday comedy win the Thanksgiving weekend box office this year
with an estimated $46.7 million since opening Wednesday.
Meanwhile the highly anticipated Baz Luhrmann epic
Australia opened at No. 5 after
Quantum of Solace in fourth place,
Twilight (which passed the $100 million mark this weekend) in third, and
Bolt in second place.

I love
giraffes but even
with all the things I do know about these guys, I never gave much thought about how you'd get the world's tallest animal from point A to point B . . .

Every once in a while, a movie comes around that reminds us what going to the movies is all about. It's a spectacle and an adventure and a love story. It’s full of magic, passion, music and breathtaking aerial shots.

Nicole Kidman and Hugh Jackman brought
Australia to NYC last night. Nicole smiled with her costar but reserved the intimate moments for her husband Keith Urban who was on his lady's arm the whole time — wearing similar height heels, too. Hugh Jackman happily signed copies of his
Sexiest Man Alive cover and recently talked about the changes it's made to his personal life.

One movie premiere, but double the hairdos for Nicole Kidman! Though she
wore long, loose locks at the screening of Australia in Sydney, she chose this beaded style for the photocall beforehand. I'm here to help you re-create this look for any evening out – all you need is two rubber bands, pretty barrette optional.To get the look, .

Nicole Kidman had two handsome Aussies by her side at the premiere of
