It's Official: Miley Cyrus Has a Signature Style

So far, 2013 has been a big fashion year for a certain Miley Cyrus.

So far, 2013 has been a big fashion year for a certain Miley Cyrus. She's been photographed in Chanel, Valentino, and Balmain (pictured from left to right at a Ryan Seacrest event, the Maxim Hot 100 Party, and the Billboard Music Awards) and is well on her way to achieving that one thing every style icon has mastered: a signature look. She's recently skipped over the majority of the color spectrum, instead gravitating toward black and white accented with a third color by way of her red lips. It gets more specific, too: beyond loving the two-toned combo, Miley's showing a serious propensity for pantsuits rather than more common red carpet dresses.

The singer's image has progressively gotten sexier as she's moved past her Hannah Montana stage, and fashion-wise, her cropped 'do seemed to usher in a whole new era of envelope-pushing fashion. Whatever the case, we love that she's turned into a dresser to watch.

Chanel presented its Resort 2014 collection in Singapore this week, and the slightly punky hair and electric-blue eye makeup is something to emulate. Summer beauty means taking risks: sporting vibrant makeup hues reserved for warm-weather functions and coifs that are both cool and functional. And the rich black and neon blue eye makeup, coupled with overexaggerated, swooped bangs, provided the perfect accompaniment to designer Karl Lagerfeld's spectacular creations. See all the looks up close here and get the exact makeup shades used backstage.

Chanel Resort 2014

Karl Lagerfeld's preseason collections for Chanel usually follow themes tied to the the exotic locations where they're shown.
Chanel Resort 2014 | Runway

Karl Lagerfeld's preseason collections for Chanel usually follow themes tied to the the exotic locations where they're shown. And his Resort 2014 collection, presented in Singapore Thursday, was no exception.

But while this collection drew upon the Southeast Asian city-state's rich history, it didn't telegraph a specifically Asian influence. Perhaps that's because Singapore, which is the world's fourth largest financial center and was for decades a British colony, has always drawn a mix of different influences. It was a global city before globalization — the buzzword of Chanel's last ready-to-wear collection — was a concept.

So this collection, a largely black-and-white affair, was unimpeachably cosmopolitan and drew as much from Chanel's archives as it did from, say, Singapore's infamous heat and multicultural influences. Lagerfeld kept his materials light so that these clothes, like his many raffia dresses and pieces with feather accents, would make sense in warm weather anywhere in the world.

Once Upon a Time

Once Upon a Time: Keira Knightley Stars as Coco Chanel for Karl Lagerfeld

The full version of Karl Lagerfeld's latest short film for Chanel, called Once Upon a Time, has finally landed online.

The full version of Karl Lagerfeld's latest short film for Chanel, called Once Upon a Time, has finally landed online.

The film, which stars Keira Knightley as a young Gabrielle Chanel, tells the story of one of the designer's first shops, which she opened in the French seaside resort town of Deauville in 1913.

In the film, which will be screened at Chanel's Resort 2014 presentation in Singapore this month, Chanel is helped along by her aunt Adrienne — played by actress Clotilde Hemse — as she caters to wealthy clients like Jacqueline Forzane (played by Ashleigh Good) and Ida Rubinstein (portrayed by Caroline de Maigret). When Vita Sackville-West — played by Saskia de Brauw — looks through the windows of the store toward the end of the film, she asks, "I wonder what it will be in 100 years from now?"

A look at what it was like 100 years ago, in the video below, and a look at Chanel's past Resort films, here.

Keira Knightley wed James Righton in France over the weekend, and we were surprised to see her dress of choice for the occasion.

Wedding

Did Keira Knightley Recycle Her Dress For Her Big Day?

Keira Knightley married James Righton in France on Saturday — reportedly in a Rodarte dress she's worn before!

Keira Knightley married James Righton in France on Saturday — reportedly in a Rodarte dress she's worn before! Many assumed that the British beauty would wear head-to-toe Chanel for her big day, especially considering she has been the face of Coco Mademoiselle since 2006 and recently starred in Karl Lagerfeld's short film, Once Upon a Time, as Coco Chanel. But according to sources, Keira actually picked a blush-hued Rodarte tulle dress for the occasion, a look she previously wore to a pre-BAFTA party in 2008.

While she may have gone with Rodarte for the dress, she didn't forgo Chanel altogether. She styled her girlier wedding dress with a chic Chanel tweed jacket and soft-pink ballet flats, also by the label. And in true Keira style, she accessorized with the bare bohemian minimum: a delicate pendant necklace, a floral wreath, and sunglasses. Now, click on for a closer look at the fashionable newlyweds here.
