It's not easy being the most fashionable girl in the room, but City star Olivia Palermo makes it look almost effortless. Her secret? Style, sophistication and, of course, invites to all the hottest parties in town. This week, Liv popped by five (count 'em, FIVE) different VIP venues, showing off a whirlwind of fall essentials (think: flashy fishnets, leather leggings and faux-fur vests) and makin' the rounds with everyone from her sweetie, Johannes Huebl, to her fashion bestie, Marc Jacobs.
Check out these pix of Liv working it on the red carpet (watch out for Huebl's razor-sharp cheekbones up top!), plus take a look at three of her most envy-inspiring looks.
We liked Joe Zee's alphabetized list idea so much (A to Zee, get it??) we thought we'd do one of our own. This goes out to you, Olivia! Thanks for all the laughter, tears and rolly-eyes. The City wouldn't be the same without you.
A is for attitude. Needless to say, Olivia Palermo has this in spades.
B is for Butler, also known as Liv's adorbs little puppy! (Hey, at least he's not named "Man Servant.")
C is for can, as in can you BELIEVE the look on Erin's face when Olivia nailed it tonight? Booyah!
D is for debs, short for debutantes. Which ranks second (behind "toodles") on our list of Words To Steal.
E is for Erin Lucas. Is it just us or does she look totally different this season?! Annnnnyway ...
F is for Kelly Cutrone's Ford. Nothing to do with Olivia, we just like the idea of it. A lot.
G is for glaring uncontrollably at your frenemies. You know who you are.
H is for unbathed hipsters in grungy, Kurt Cobain plaid. Viva la revolution!
I is for immature. Remember that time Whit tried to talk about personal shtuff?? Soooo high school.
J is for Johannes Huebl, Olivia's smokin' hot (but, sadly, off-camera) boyfriend.
K is for kissing 22 goodbye! Here's what we gave Olivia for the big 2-3.
L is for Liv's amazing one-liners. "Shamu's not runway material"? Classic!
M is for Manolo Blahnik, Olivia's close, personal friend (who may or may not remember her).
N is for Olivia's ne'er-do-well cousin, Nevan Donahue. How's the job search going, bro?
O is for Olivia's house rules. We especially liked the one where she made fun of Nevan's kicks.
P is for personalized placecards. You can't have a casual, five-star dinner party without them.
Q is for quit asking Whitney about Liv, okay? They aren't super best friends. Get over it.
R is for recessionista! Who knew our Uptown Girl was so into Top Shop and H&M??
S is for socials! Raise those glasses of champy up high, girls!
T is for Tamarama, Olivia's most favoritest band in the whole wide world! Oh wait, are we in Opposite Land?
U is for going undercover/acting like you're busting up a drug ring ('steada just a dude in a Pravda hat).
V is for vintage-loving Victoria Beckham, who you just KNOW is Olivia's secret star crush.
W is for where have all the cocktail rings gone? No, seriously, where?
X is for X-mas etiquette. FYI, Liv is AGAINST getting so drunk you "like, fall on your face." Duly noted!
Y is for yellow. Fashionable gals wouldn't be could dead in it. Or WOULD they??
Z is for the amazing Joe Zee, who never stopped believing. Way to make him proud, girl!
Olivia Palermo was dressed to impress Monday night when she hit up NYC's Chelsea Theater for a screening of Quentin Tarantino's Inglorious Bastards. The City star, escorted (as usual!) by her handsome leading man, Johannes Huebl, went glam for the World War II period piece, pairing a floor-length ruched gown with a pearl-colored clutch.
And while she may have outdressed her date (Huebl went more casual, in khakis and a light blue button-down), she totes held her own next to dazzling designer Rachel Roy. Check out these pix and give Liv -- and Rachel -- props for lookin' so stylish in this summer heat. (Uh, when the thermostat hits 90, nothing can tear us away from the comfort of AC!)
It's easy to avoid people in the winter. It's cold, and there's nothing like an ankle-length Eskimo coat to turn you practically invisible. But in the warm, relaxing summer breeze, holding onto a grudge becomes damn near impossible -- no matter how much you dislike someone. Need convincing? Peep this pic of frenemies-by-association Erin Lucas and Olivia Palermo beaming for the cameras at the East Hampton Tommy Hilfiger boutique. Now if only they could be that happy and carefree in The City ...
+ BONUS: And the smiling continues! Check out these pix of Olivia posing prettily next to her honey, Johannes Huebl, and model/actress Molly Sims. Looks like a little bit of sunshine DOES go a long way!
Allie Crandell might've landed that creeptastic Diesel ad (and the new Tracey Fieth campaign!) but she's not the only City girl with modeling ambitions. (And no, we're not referring to Whitney's upside-downer on Good Morning America.) According to today's Page Six, Olivia Palermo -- who dates German Wilhelmina model Johannes Huebl -- just signed on with the agency herself! All in favor of an Olivia/Allie walk-off next season, say "Aye!"
+ Think Olivia's got what it takes to hit the catwalk runnin'? Take the poll!
Fearless, well-coiffed and immaculately tailored, Olivia Palermo is a force to be reckoned with on the red carpet. But lately, she's not the only one who has the photographers' attention. So who's stealing Liv's fashion thunder? That would be her stylish boyfriend Johannes Huebl, whose shiny wingtips, custom-made Parisian suits and fitted leather jacket make him the perfect plus-one.
Congrats on finding a boy who knows how to dress, Olivia! First step: couples retail therapy. Next step: getting him to share your/our fascination with chick flicks, fro-yo and Patti Stanger ...
Olivia Palermo's 'tude may be more wintry than summery, but girl can dress for any occasion. And now that she's in Cannes (for the film festival, mais bien sur!), she's going Parisian chic by getting dolled up in her fave floral ensemble.
Like any fashion-forward mademoiselle, 'Liv's accentuated her look with the perfect accessory: luuuurverly leading man Johannes Huebl (who's downright dreamy in that pastel blazer)!
So far, all we REALLY know about Olivia's arm-candy, Johannes Huebl, is that he's a permatan German underwear model who looks like a way hotter vershe of Full House's Uncle Jesse (and likes to get his grope on at parties). But after seeing this interview on What He Wears, we feel like we understand him so much better! Below, five fun facts you must raed about Olivia's better half.
1. He lists a "cashmere scarf" among his top four travel essentials.
2. But he's totes not into "summer scarves" or "plaid shirts." (No offense, Jay.)
3. He thinks Olivia's the most stylish celebrity he knows. Aww.
4. He hates "intolerant people."
5. He feels most comfortable in custom-tailored Parisian suits (but hearts his Prada jeans)!
And since sometimes lists don't cut it, we've excerpted the most revealing part of Johannes' interview:
"Attention disorders and the lack of focusing are habits I find difficult to deal with. Blackberry's on the dinner table as well and how about not putting makeup on while you are enjoying your company? I like the idea of the classical definition of a gentleman and I have a little patience for ignorant, rude and intolerant people."
Whitney Port and Jay Lyon may have recently rekindled their flame (read: sucked face in front of Jennifer Aniston) but they're not the only hot City couple around. Olivia Palermo and her ridonculously hot boyfriend Johannes Huebl were spotted "getting cozy" (read: canoodling in a PG-13 sorta way) at an NYC gala earlier this week.
And since good things always come in threes, we're thinking it's only a matter of time before Adam and Allie stop staying in playing Model Scrabble (or whatever) and start parading their love around and PDAing like it's their job. (Wait, it isn't?)
With all the Olivia bashing that's been going on lately, we wanted to remind you that she has a totally separate life from what you see on The City. Not only is she way more casually dressed in person (we've spotted her in jeans and heard her cop to breaking out the spandex!) but she's also way more chill. And happier! And dating the hottest guy ever.
Check out these pics of Olivia's boyfriend, German male model Johannes Huebl, and hear her explain how she's been edited to seem way bitchier than she really is. And you know what? One look at Huebl's abs (Seriously, LOOK AT THEM!) and we totally believe her! (C'mon, if you were dating The Hotness, would you REALLY waste time thinking about some stupid Elle cover? Didn't think so!)
