Looks like Vera Wang has been one busy woman.

As if designing Chelsea Clinton's wedding dress, in addition to those of her bridesmaids wasn't enough, StyleList just received confirmation that Alicia Keys also wore Vera Wang to marry music producer Swizz Beatz on July 31 in Corsica, France.

The pregnant 29-year-old Grammy Award-winning singer donned an ivory silk georgette asymmetrical draped goddess gown with jewel detail on the back shoulder, a spokesperson for the designer told StyleList.

Keys completed her beautiful bridal look with a jeweled headpiece -- PopEater reports that it was originally "... a one-of-a-kind necklace that was reworked by [celeb jeweler] Jacob & Co. into a custom fitted 60 carat diamond halo designed especially for Keys" -- that accented her chic chignon hairstyle perfectly.

Alicia carried a cascading bouquet of purple calla lilies along with her growing baby bump.

As for Swizz Beatz (aka Kasseem Dean), 31, he wore a white tuxedo jacket, pink ruffled shirt with a bow tie, and his heart on his sleeve, tweeting "Wowwwwwwwwww" the night of the wedding, followed by: "It's a brand new day :) I feel like Nas and Diddy song :) love y'all and blessing!"

Deepak Chopra, a friend of the bride and groom, officiated the intimate ceremony, which took place at a private residence on the Mediterranean Sea, according to Us Weekly.

Famous guests in attendance included Bono and Queen Latifah, reports the Daily Mail.

The couple is expecting their first child together later this year.

Stay tuned for more details.

Seriously, now our tulle-filled heads are just spinning.

It's been the question among fashion insiders for months: Will bride-to-be Chelsea Clinton wear Vera Wang or Oscar de la Renta when she walks down the aisle to marry investment-banker fiancé Marc Mezvinsky on July 31 in Rhinebeck, N.Y.?

A friend told StyleList back in June that 30-year-old Clinton had a made-to-measure wedding dress in Vera Wang's workshop, confirming what we had speculated all along -- that the presidential progeny is opting for the epitome of classic American bridal.

That was until Sheryl Gay Stolberg, The New York TImes White House correspondent, told Ann Curry on the "Today Show" that the former first daughter had chosen an Oscar de la Renta gown. So, maybe we spoke too soon. Or not... The plot thickens.

WWD's Wednesday, July 28, cover features Chelsea Clinton, obscured by a large floppy hat (so much for going incognito!), arriving at Vera Wang's midtown showroom in New York City on July 27 to meet her Secretary of State mom, Hillary Rodham Clinton, who was already there.

Reportedly, Wang is doing the bridesmaids' dresses, the flower girls' dresses, as well as the all-important wedding dress. And supposedly Hillary and Chelsea have met with Wang five to 10 times over the last four months. OK. Settled. Score one for StyleList.

Not so fast. Hillary was also spotted paying a visit to Oscar de la Renta's Manhattan showroom earlier the same day. There are conflicting reports as to whether Chelsea accompanied her mother, but the duo has allegedly met with de la Renta numerous times of late.

And, after all, the designer -- who often dresses the former first lady, starting during her turn at the White House -- is reportedly close friends with the Clintons, as in the couple vacations at his Dominican Republic home.

The Clinton camp, in addition to Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta spokespeople, declined comment to WWD.

So, will Chelsea Clinton wear both designers during her weekend wedding? Will just Hillary be wearing de la Renta? Or is this all a plan to throw us off completely? Only time and continued bridal back-and-forth will tell. Try to keep up. Trust us, it's not easy.

Plus, see who designed Carrie Underwood's wedding dress.

First, she went one-on-one with Dita Von Teese, delving into the queen of burlesque's accidentally eco love of vintage.

Then, Hollywood's green girl, Rachel Lincoln Sarnoff of ecostiletto.com, got actress Amy Smart to fess up to the eco-unfriendly habit that she just can't kick.

Now, Sarnoff strikes again, talking to "Entourage" star Emmanuelle Chriqui about the star's favorite upcycled fashion line.

So, without further ado, here's Rachel.

As an actress, Emmanuelle Chriqui is all over the map: She starred as a pregnant porn star in the SXSW-debuted indie film "Electra Luxx," will next be seen on the big screen in Renny Harlan's political thriller "Georgia," and is best known for playing Sloan on "Entourage."

But I was surprised to find out just how single-minded her commitment is to the causes that she passionately supports, like RAISE Hope for Congo and the Environmental Media Association's Young Hollywood Board, when I spoke with Chriqui after she helped launch EMA's School Gardens Program.

"I've always been attracted to the alternative lifestyle, meaning organic and natural and alternative healing," Chriqui reveals, after confessing that her 1988 Prius purchase inspired a whole new eco-chapter in her life.

The girl practically lives in haute new upcycled fashion line Alexx Jae for Milk, and wishes she could wear oh-so-eco-friendly bamboo all the time. "I don't understand why everybody doesn't want to dress that way; it feels amazing-softer than the softest old T-shirt!" she said.

"But you can't just use something because it's good for the environment," Chriqui revealed. "It's got to feel good." Her secret to living sustainably? Baby steps. "Give yourself a little goal each month," she told me. "That's the most effective thing you can do."

That's not to say the girl doesn't slip up once in a while. To find out more about Emmanuelle Chriqui's eco-sins (as well as her eco-idols), read my interview in its entirety on EcoStiletto's EcoCelebrity page.

I continue on the road to Oscar gold, passing and stopping at luncheons, cocktail parties, fashion showrooms and galas along the way.

Merle Ginsberg, famed fashion writer, contestant on Bravo's "Launch My Line" and one of the panelists on Logo Network's "RuPaul's Drag Race," hosted an event at the eyebrow and beauty goddess of Beverly Hills' new namesake salon, Anastasia.

The primping mecca is located at 11933 Wilshire Boulevard and it's the hot spot for all of Hollywood's big wigs. Oprah has already been in to get her eyebrows done, and last year's Oscar winner and this year's nominee, Penelope Cruz made a pit stop.

Aside from the fact that Anastasia's been doing the brows of everyone in Hollywood for years, she's also superchic, as in donning an incredible Balmain jacket for the fête -- she's not yo momma's eyebrow tweezer.

And the salon offers the ultimate celeb attraction: privacy! There is a secret back gated parking lot that allows celebs to slip-in paparazzi free. To get a beautification treatment and be on your merry way without shutterbugs snapping shots -- pre- or post-eyebrow perfecting -- is a true luxury.

At this new retreat it's not only about getting your eyebrows done, Anastasia provides the whole beauty package. The good news, anyone can get the Hollywood treatment. The bad news, it'll cost you a pretty penny to be as perfect as Penelope and all of Anastasia's other celeb clients.

Celebrity style expert Phillip Bloch shares some juicy fashion tidbits from around town, as La La Land preps for the big night.

Live from Los Angeles, here's Bloch:

GABBY'S GOWN
For all you "Precious" fans who have been worried about Gabourey Sidibe looking her Oscar best at Sunday's awards ceremony -- fear not -- she's called in one of the best stylists in Hollywood, Linda Medvene.

Medvene has dressed Kate Winslet (the year of "Titanic") and has worked with Ellen DeGeneres for years. Linda will be stepping up Gabourey's game for Hollywood's golden night.

And rumor has it that Marchesa, designed by Georgina Chapman, will be creating the couture conception for Ms. Sidibe.

The house of Marchesa has dressed countless celebrities including J.Lo, Cate Blanchett, Olivia Wilde, Jessica Alba and Anne Hathaway, to name a few.

So, to all those who've been dismayed by Sidibe's oversized, tent-like dresses at the past few award shows should be in for a real treat because Georgina knows how to fit a dress and make a girl look like a star.

LUXURY LOCKDOWN
One would think with the "millions of dollars" of free press designers garner from celebs wearing their dresses on the red carpet that they would have their couture creations in Hollywood weeks in advance.

However, that's not the case. While running around town pulling dresses for my client, I've come to find that big designers such as Versace, Alberta Ferretti, Badgley Mischka and Cavalli won't even have their dresses in L.A. until, at the earliest, March 3.

Talk about last minute panic -- celebrities and stylists are rushing to and fro from hair dressers to facials to fittings right up until the last moment.

KHANT MAKE IT
Designer Naeem Khan, who dressed Michelle Obama for the White House State Dinner, won't even have his Fall 2010 dresses in Hollywood for the 2010 Oscars because they are busy touring around India and at a presentation in Paris.

LATE IN THE GAME
One of France's biggest jewelry designers, the house of Chopard, isn't expecting its big jewelry shipment until tonight. They're holding off all other appointments for nominees until Penelope Cruz and Helen Mirren come make their selections. It pays to be a nominee and get the big bling

Hollywood glamour girl Jennifer Lopez is no newbie to the red carpet. While she's dazzled us for years with her style evolution, she's found a new designer and practically sequestered all of his creations before all the other stars and stylists could get to them.

NEW KID ON JENNY'S BLOCK
So just who is her new designer of choice? Zuhair Murad. You might recognize that name, as Miley Cyrus dazzled at last year's Oscars in a princess ball gown by Murad. Good enough for Miley -- will it be good enough for J.Lo?

Rumor also has it that J.Lo's stylist is gathering dresses from numerous other showrooms around town, yet Zuhair is definitely her new favorite. Will he be what she wears on the red carpet? Tune into StyleList Sunday Night to find out.

And get more Oscar scoop with tomorrow's installment of Blochbuster.
