Celeb Style: Carey Mulligan

I've been wanting to do a Celeb Style on Carey — she is an upcoming fashion force.

I've been wanting to do a Celeb Style on Carey — she is an upcoming fashion force. This navy and black look was perfect for the Wall Street: Money Never Sleeps press conference at Cannes. Professional, polished, poised. It's all in the details here, from her suede and chiffon Fendi cutout sandals, to her double black leather belt, to the folds on her Roland Mouret sheath. If this is a nod to the new minimalism, I'm in.

Who Wore It Better? Marc Jacobs Navy Wrap Dress

Black and blue keeps on going and going.

Black and blue keeps on going and going. Anne Hathaway dabbled with the color combination via her navy Marc Jacobs wrap dress back when she attended the David Letterman Show in October. She added black with opaque tights, pumps, and a Ferragamo bag. Courteney Cox Arquette chose the same dress for the Bedtime Stories premiere in Hollywood. She kept her look black and blue, too, only she added a necklace and a clutch. Two fine actresses, but which wore their Marc Jacobs better?

Double Celebrity Style: Demi Moore and Tallulah Belle Willis

I love it when mother and daughter look equally stunning.

I love it when mother and daughter look equally stunning. At Glamour's Annual Reel Moments event, Demi Moore and daughter Tallulah Belle Willis both lit up the red carpet. Demi did so in a black Catherine Malandrino dress, while Tallulah dazzled in a navy silk Opening Ceremony frock. Doesn't the black-and-blue combination work so well together? While mommy opted for Yves Saint Laurent's Tribute pumps, daughter went the Louboutin route. Both stylish in their own way.

Trend Alert: Black & Blue

Wasn't there a point in time when people didn't think black and blue went together?

Wasn't there a point in time when people didn't think black and blue went together? Seeing as how the most common colors associated with a bruise are "black and blue" I don't really understand how people thought these colors didn't complement each other. Together, they create a dark mystique that oozes cool and collected. I have spotted this color combo on several starlets as of late and I'm totally into it. These three looks in particular are all very different, but all work, proving that black and blue is pretty versatile. Blast those naysayers who said it couldn't work!

The common denominator in two of these looks is layers. All three decided to go with noir shoes - probably the best way to work it. As well, the blue is more navy and moody; although bright blue works and sequins do too! This trend will take you into the Fall and beyond - but kbella already knows this!
