The Great Gatsby world premiere took place in New York City last evening, and Baz Luhrmann's cast came out to celebrate. Carey Mulligan stood out in a bold red Lanvin look that's in-line with her minimalist approach to red carpet dressing. In the movie, Carey wore a bevy of decadent '20s-inspired Prada gowns along with loads of diamonds and pearls, and she told us that she was nervous wearing it all — she even broke her pearls a few times! For all the style scoop from the Gatsby premiere, watch today's Fashion Flash. On Allison: Rebecca Taylor jacket, Zara top.
Before Lanvin creative director Alber Elbaz had even toyed with the idea of collaborating with a cosmetics brand, his fate was sealed. "I knew that eventually Alber would work with a cosmetics company, and so I told him, 'If you do something with someone else, I will kill you,'" Lancome president Youcef S. Nabi, who is a close friend of Elbaz, told W magazine with a laugh. "I really wasn't kidding."
And because of Nabi's persistence, the beauty world will welcome Elbaz's ultra-luxe quad of mascaras on June 15. "Eyes are so important to me," Elbaz said. "When I think of cosmetics, I think of eyes. For Lancome, I wanted to do something funny and a little handmade." Building from these ideas, Elbaz created whimsical cartoon packaging for four of Lancome's mascaras: hearts for Hypnose Doll Lashes, blue stars for Hypnose Star, pink polka dots for Hypnose Drama, and big doe eyes for the classic Définicils. "I'm hoping women will collect all four," Nabi said.
Beyond the line of mascaras, Elbaz is slated to conjure up a set of eye shadow boxes but has no far-reaching plans with Lancome. "We'll do this project and see how it works," Elbaz said. The designer is hesitant about expanding and diluting his brand, which explains why he has never designed a secondary, less expensive line. Partnerships are also a rare affair; he never collaborates unless it makes creative sense.
His collaboration with Lancome, however, will no doubt further prove his love affair with women. "I adore women," said Elbaz, who also appreciates that being a woman today isn't always easy. "Women try to be the best everywhere, and it's impossible. I want my clothes to give women the freedom to just be — I want them to put on my dresses and shine." C'est parfait, non?
We're suckers for ultrafeminine takes on menswear, and these latest tuxedo looks couldn't have come at a better time than wedding season. Here's why.

If you're into Rebecca's plunging Lanvin jumpsuit, which she wore for the Iron Man 3 London premiere, you can take the romper route — here's an affordable option from the Kate Young for Target collection ($80) — then jazz it up a with box clutch and ankle-strap sandals. Or you can follow suit on Carey's Victoria Beckham tuxedo cape look by sporting a tuxedo vest or blazer (with nothing underneath!), then matching it up with cropped tuxedo pants and T-strap pumps. Of course, don't forget to add sparkly baubles and a red lip to give your menswear-inspired ensemble a sexy, albeit polished, finish. Now all you have to do to get started is shop our chicest tuxedo pieces below.
