I actually saw the the stylemaker special, and while I don't like some of the designers he loves alot, he has great style and if I could pull off that Baleciaga cape and afford it I would wear it all the time. He should get his own show instead of Isaac Mizrahi.
Hes very flamboyant, but i respect him because it was hard to get to the point he is at, being a double minority, gay and Black. I love him, i feel like his clothing is at times boisterous, but LOL...thats Andre. Anyhoo, he isnt very attractive, anyone know if he is married? ETC?

^ I couldn't agree more. I feel as though his clothes match his personality. He IS over the top and flamboyant, I wouldn't wear what he wears but I'm glad he does. Its part of his whole persona. He is ALT he's in that special category with other like minds like Isabella Blow wherein he can wear whatever he wants because his clothes represent him in a way that defies the trends.
I also agree that he has worked incredibly hard to attain his position and is a man with an incredible talent who really strives to give back. He always uses his column to spotlight minority designers, actresses, actors, stylists, etc. Names that you wouldn't hear about in Vogue otherwise and from all accounts he's a very nice giving person esp. with regards to fostering new talent. I dunno I just really like him.

André Calls It on the Carpet
Leon Talley named new voice of Oscar fashion
Tuesday, January 30, 2007
(LOS ANGELES) For once, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is getting Oscar fashion right. How many ill-prepared supermodels, television talking heads, and even sportscasters have described fashion on the network pre-shows over the years, only to cause the millions who watch to yawn—with embarrassment? This year, on February 25 at the Kodak Theater, no less a fashion personage than Vogue’s editor-at-large André Leon Tally will be what Academy Awards producer Laura Ziskin is calling “the voice of the Oscars.” Talley will narrate the pre-show fashion coverage and be intricately involved with the event throughout the evening.

that will be really interesting to see..
i wonder if he will identify the celebs' outfits rather than ask them "who they are wearing"
i'm also wondering if he will be outspoken about his opinions...
watching him could be entertaining

I can't wait to hear what he will say. Every bitchy, outspoken word will be priceless!

I met him in November (pics with him too) and he is very unique. He doesn't speak with a British accent at all (not to me anyway). And he's very smart about fashion. You can tell he's researched a lot about fashion and style and the art of fashion. He was well spoken and funny.

In Vogue and On the Carpet
The Bagger has only himself to blame for falling so hard for “Dreamgirls,” but when he is in the mood to spread it around, he always remembers that he was seated just in front of Andre Leon Talley, an editor at large for Vogue, at the premiere. Mr. Leon Talley’s vocal, not to say inescapable, support of the show at its signature moment was contagious. He has since, btw, seen the film seven times.
Mr. Leon Talley, who has expertise in outsize fabulousness — and is a living, breathing example of it himself — is fresh off hosting a lunch about Oscar fashion and has been tapped as a fashion commentator for the warm-up show on Osacar night. The Bagger briefly joined him and “Dreamgirls” star Jennifer Hudson when they held a a fashion summit at Michael’s restaurant in New York, and let’s just say that those two can talk. There’s also word that Ms. Hudson, who has become something of a muse for Mr. Leon Talley, will be appearing soon in a Vogue near you.

from Lainey's:
Anyway, about the carpet – everyone is running through tech preparations right now. The Academy is doing sound checks and the best…the BEST was Andre Leon Talley.
Like.
Oh.My.God.
Never took his shades off. Dressed in a designer toque and scarf, a huge coat with electric blue lining, basketball shorts – yes, basketball shorts!!! - sports socks pulled up to his knees, and trainers! I nearly lost my sh*t. Would Anna Wintour approve???
He was sitting on his very own director’s chair and get this – he had his initials ALT embroidered in the back of the seat.
Love, love, love.
ahhh, you gotta love this b*tch.

many media sources have it that ALT insisted that Jennifer Hudson should wear the tiny space jacket which results in a disaster (at least viewed by many including myself). JH told Matt Lauer that she regretted wearing that jacket. (which was inappropriate IMHO considering what ALT did for her...including putting her on a cover).
What do you guys think?

...Andre truly has no style. That outfit was a mess, that dress had POCKETS (trend gone so-wrong) that dumb silver snake cropped jacket and the dinky Claires-esque jewelry.
I can see all the trends Andre took from, but he worked them so immaturely. I truly believe he has no style. Also, he gushed over Kirsten Dunst's most heinous "Haute Couture Chanel by Karl Lagerfeld" dress and Jada Pinkett's stiff Herrera. He is so clueless.

it's OT but it hurts me when I saw Jada in that dress. She survived?
I don't see any problems on the pockets. What bothers me is her posture. The outfit will look ten times better with a posture as good as, say, Nicole Kidman. Stand STILL, and don't leave you hands in pockets!
