Hot Momma

Forbes.com's recent feature on the "hottest billionaire heiresses" includes familiar faces such as Paris Hilton and Amanda Hearst, but the curveball came with 46-year-old mother of two, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. Is the former "Seinfeld" star really a future billionaire? As it turns out, probably not.

Forbes.com had reported that the father of Louis-Dreyfus, Gerard, has a $3.4 billion fortune from commodities including oil, gas and orange juice. A spokeswoman for the Web site confirmed that, shortly after the list was posted, "Forbes received a call to dispute the notion that her father was in direct control of the entire fortune, estimated at $3.4 billion net worth, and provided evidence that it was actually split among several family members." The error could be somewhat forgiven because Gerard Louis-Dreyfus has appeared on Forbes' billionaires list for more than a decade, without a single call to dispute the information until now. Despite the family politics that apparently came into play recently, the Forbes spokeswoman added that "he most likely will not appear on the Forbes billionaires list moving forward." A spokeswoman for Julia Louis-Dreyfus insisted the forbes.com listing was incorrect and asked WWD to "please stop perpetuating the lie." No word on whether that included the "hot" distinction.

Memorial Service for Blow

A memorial service for Isabella Blow is set to be held Sept. 18 during London Fashion Week at The Guards Chapel near London's St. James' Park. While 250 of Blow's friends and family attended the funeral service in Gloucestershire last month, following her death May 10 at age 48, the stylist's memorial service will be open to 750 guests.

"Some of Isabella's close friends couldn't come to the funeral, and we thought it was so apt [to hold the service during London Fashion Week]," said Ali Chiu, Blow's former assistant. "It would be so fitting for Issie if the service brings people to London Fashion Week, so it helps young designers."

And to cement Blow's reputation as a champion of new design talent, Detmar Blow, the stylist's widower, has plans to establish a grant for young designers' in her name, alongside a permanent exhibition made up of her vast wardrobe, which included Alexander McQueen's entire graduate collection, couture pieces that she would wear on a daily basis and her signature Philip Treacy hats. Detmar Blow plans to either create a museum in Blow's name or have the collection as a traveling exhibition. An exhibition of the stylist's outlandish hats and headpieces designed by Treacy, "When Philip Met Isabella," is on display at the State Russian Museum in St. Petersburg.

Meanwhile, Vanity Fair is said to be planning to run a piece on Blow in an upcoming issue, after it took the last portrait of the stylist earlier this year. The article is set to be written by Edward Helmore, an acquaintance of Isabella and Detmar Blow and the brother of Lucy Ferry, who was Isabella Blow's close friend. Helmore is a regular contributor to Vanity Fair, Vogue and the British paper The Guardian. Vanity Fair declined to comment.
