Boardwalk Empire

'Tis the season for holiday party hopping, which usually involves costume-worthy outfits and a fair amount of hooch. With all of the festivities, we can't help but reminisce about one of our favorite television shows that celebrates both. While episodes of the recently-wrapped Boardwalk Empire series are usually centered around themes of violent vengeance or tarnished romance, they also draw attention to the era's elegant style.

As invested as we are in the Emmy-nominated show's story line, we can't help but keep our wandering eyes from admiring the impeccable period pieces that fill each scene. While most of us might not want to mimic the Prohibition-era decor completely, we've honed in on key pieces from the series' set that could easily be adapted for the modern home.

Newlyweds Stanley Tucci and Felicity Blunt were all smiles at last night's NYC season three premiere of HBO's Boardwalk Empire. Stanley and Felicity secretly wed earlier this year, though they have plans for a larger ceremony in the future. Stanley's got a busy Fall ahead, with his Robert Redford-directed drama, The Company You Keep, premiering at the Toronto International Film Festival tonight and production on Catching Fire, the sequel to The Hunger Games, beginning in Atlanta.

Ashlee Simpson wore a short white frock to accompany her boyfriend and Boardwalk Empire star, Vincent Piazza. The pair cuddled close to snap photos, then headed inside the screening to mingle with Vincent's castmates Kelly Macdonald, Jack Huston, and Steve Buscemi. The show returns with new episodes Sept. 16, and the group will reunite shortly afterward on Sept. 23 at the Primetime Emmy Awards. They're up for six nominations, including outstanding drama series and outstanding lead actor for Steve Buscemi, who took home last year's award. Be sure to fill out your Emmy ballot for a chance to win $2,000.

We already got a cryptic preview of Boardwalk Empire's third season, and now HBO has released a new batch of stills from the upcoming episodes. I'm most excited about our first look at newcomer Bobby Cannavale, looking dapper in his '20s garb. Take a look at the pics before Boardwalk Empire's season premiere on Sept. 16!

Boardwalk Empire returns for season two tonight on HBO, with Nucky (Steve Buscemi) facing another year of keeping his business and relationships together in 1920s Atlantic City. To get excited for the premiere, we've got a gallery of lavish pics from the first few episodes of the season, which are just as fun to check out for the plot hints as they are for the costumes.

HBO gathered the stars of Boardwalk Empire last night at NYC's Zeigfeld Theater to celebrate the show's second season, which debuts on the network Sept. 25. Leading man Steve Buscemi had the company of his wife, Jo Andres, while Michael Pitt had his model girlfriend, Jamie Bochert, and Vincent Piazza made his red carpet debut with Ashlee Simpson. Ashlee and Vincent also showed PDA recently at a fashion week bash, when they went out to celebrate Christina Ricci's Nylon cover. Other stars from the series like Kelly Macdonald, Jack Huston, and Gretchen Mol mingled with producers Mark Wahlberg and Martin Scorsese. The gang moved their festivities over to the Waldorf Astoria for the afterparty, where Jack met up with his aunt, Anjelica Huston, and Kelly gave her pal Emily Mortimer a big hug. The premiere of Boardwalk Empire is much anticipated, especially after the series just won seven creative Emmys last weekend.
