In The Hunger Games, the Capitol is the shining pride of Panem. The residents of the city hold fashion in the highest regard. They cover themselves in intricate tattoos, undergo body modification, and even change the color of their skin. The nail polish line inspired by the Capitol was just the beginning; now there’s an entire fashion blog devoted to the style of Panem’s central city. Capitol Couture will be updated continuously leading up the March 23 premiere of the film, but right now you’ll find a profile on Effie Trinket (pictured above), popular shoes in the Capitol, and manicure tips from an official stylist.
Check out more pics after the break, including a Capitol stylist’s guide to beautiful nails.

Everyone’s going steampunk these days, even the likes of Athena and Medusa thanks to Jessica Rowell of J-Chan Designs, photographer Nina Pak, and model Elizabeth Maiden. A touch of grungy metal mixed with mythic characters proves to be striking. I think Medusa’s coils are a huge improvement over the snakes.

Thankfully, this hat was a one-off piece by photographer Daniel Bartolome and stylist Sandra Escalafor for an editorial advertising ski gear for El Periodico. Let’s just hope that alien hipsters don’t get wind of this.

Gunn recently talked with geeky actress Jennifer Ewing and comic book historian Alan Kistler on Crazy Sexy Geeks about some of the uniforms in Star Trek: The Original Series. Hilarity and fun commentary ensue.
