Kate Bosworth's Blue Hair & Lost City Necklace Look on E!'s Fashion Police Last Night!

Photo: JewelMint's Style Diary

Photo: Missoni

I love the E! channel! In fact, I have my DVR set to record Fashion Police every Friday night which I usually get around to watching the next day or so when I finally have some downtime. I typically have my computer on my lap while I have the show playing in the background, and today was no different.

Thing is, my ears perked up when I saw the preview of Kate Bosworth's donning blue-dyed tips and JewelMint's Lost City Necklace (available in September) to a Coldplay concert in Los Angeles on August 3rd - as seen here in this post.

My first initial response was "Oh NO!". My husband thought something terrible had just happened when I assured him everything was okay and that I just wasn't sure what they were about to say about Kate. He chuckled it off while I sat in suspense to see what would happen next.

To tell you the truth, I like Joan Rivers. I think she's funny and of course she's all about the "shock factor" with her jokes. I love Giuliana Rancic, Kelly Osbourne, and especially George Kotsiopoulos. Except last night, Giuliana and Joan did not show any love to Kate - none at all.

Kelly and George stuck up for her outfit which included a button up floral shirt from Missoni's Winter 2011 Collection (above), but the hair the didn't get much love from anyone.

I looked around online to see if I could find any videos from last night's Fashion Police episode and ended up finding a video of outtakes that seemed to be really quite harsh compared to the actual episode that aired last night...

Watch the unaired video outtakes about Kate Bosworth's look from Fashion Police here, titled "Toilet Tresses".

Now, I don't want to get all crazy here and while I wouldn't ever dye the tips of my hair blue, I want to say a few things about this...

First of all, for all we know Kate had her hair dyed like this for a project. For example, I could totally see her rocking this for a JewelMint shoot or for one of her many other projects she is currently working on. Didn't StyleCaster.com recently shoot a neon Converse and JewelMint themed photo shoot styled by Cher Coulter? Makes me wonder if Kate was a part of it too which could possibly be an explanation.

Second, and I even hate to bring it up, but it's the bulimia joke. Not really funny to some, and overall probably really inappropriate, but it is Joan Rivers and she's never really, well, not inappropriate. It's kind of what she does, and I'm assuming that is why they cut that part out of the actual episode on TV - probably a good idea.

Lastly, just because you're skinny doesn't mean your anorexic or bulimic - but as adults, we all know this. I mean heck, this one time I was downtown and this homeless person started yelling at me on the street to eat something - not even kidding you. LOL I mean, yeah this poor old man was homeless, but he started chasing me down in his wheelchair screaming repeatedly over the traffic at me to eat food. I couldn't help but laugh after the initial shock wore off. It seriously could have been a scene right out of a movie!

So I guess my point is that Kate seems like a such a sweetheart so I could totally imagine her laughing this off. I mean, you kind of have to. By the way, I think Kate would make a fabulous future guest commentator on FP, don't you think? As a total joke, she should show up with her tips dyed blue! ;)

Did you see last night's episode of Fashion Police? Do you think Joan went too far? What are your thoughts about what was said about Kate?

Sneak Peeks: Upcoming JewelMint Necklaces!

Photo: JewelMint Blog

In the photo above, Kate Bosworth is wearing an upcoming Jewelmint necklace! Here's what JewelMint's Style Diary Blog has to say about it:

"Kate looked chic leaving one of her favorite restaurants, Chateau Marmont, last week. Check out the upcoming JewelMint necklace she wore! This delicate dangeler works perfectly with her simple, yet sophisticated neutral look."

I literally had to do a double-take! When I had originally scrolled down over the photo, my first instinct was that she was wearing the Pearl Fleur Necklace. However, due to the size of the pearl on this necklace, lack of a ring, longer length, and color - this pearl looks amethyst - it is most definitely a new piece and deserves its own attention! My second instinct? How fabulous this will look paired with the Opera Pearl Necklace!

Here's another JewelMint piece on Kate that was introduced to us earlier this week...

Kate's wearing September's upcoming Lost City Necklace in the photo above. Her blue dyed tips remind me of those good 'ol elementary school days when everyone would dye their hair with Kool-Aid! Remember that? :)

Here's what JewelMint's Style Diary Blog has to say:

"Kate rocked teal tips in attendance of the Coldplay concert on Wednesday, and peaking out from under the collar of her floral blouse is… another preview! The Lost City Necklace will be available this September for those of you loving it!"

We saw this same piece earlier this week when Kate Bosworth mentioned it during Glamour's Facebook chat earlier this week and in this post here! You can see the original photo Cher Coulter posted to Facebook in the same post.

I also previously took a poll about the new Lost City Necklace - here are the (rounded) result numbers as they currently stand:

33% of you say you love it!
42% of you say it's okay.

25% of you say it's not your style.

With that, it's time for another poll! This time I'm curious what you think about the unknown pearl necklace as seen on Kate!
