Depending on who you ask, coral can skew closer to the orange or the pink family. We're leaning toward the former, but there are so many cute coral picks in a whole rainbow of hues that we figured we'd feature them all. With this classic shade, pick one statement piece, and keep the rest of your look neutral.
The 2013 upfront presentations have taken over LA, and they've provided the perfect opportunity for stars to show off their stellar red carpet style. At last night's Fox party, Minka Kelly paired a green printed, one-shoulder dress with black ankle-strap sandals, while Lea Michele looked bright in a pink, floral Lela Rose dress with silver metallic pumps. Zooey Deschanel proved the most covered up in a black circle skirt topped with a black sequined jacket, and her New Girl costar Hannah Simone was ladylike in a black dress with a vibrant garden print. Tell us: which Fox star's look gets the best ratings?

The diaphanous hair backstage at Lela Rose for Fall 2013 seemed more fit for an editorial spread, but we learned a clever way to curl your hair without the curling iron. Ted Gibson for Beauty.com used aluminum foil to form glamorous waves that were then turned into the voluminous, wispy look for the runway. Romy Soleimani for Beauty.com used Stila Cosmetics to create a wintry, frostbitten look, while Deborah Lippmann debuted a new kind of textured manicure.
The look: Whimsical beauties with billowy hair and rosy makeup from the Winter chill
The inspiration: Grimm fairy tales
Key products: Aluminum foil and a flat iron were used to create waves

Lela Rose has established herself as a go-to designer when it comes to sophisticated yet youthful clothing — and for Spring 2013, her unique brand of glamour was on full blast. Look to her playful use of black spider lace — which found its way onto the waist of crisp white sheaths and the sides of silky pants and was draped over chiffon dresses — as a standout case of evening glitz with a twist. Also worth keeping on your radar? Lela's feminine take on the camouflage print — it's bright, fluid, and eye-catching. Check out the collection in full — click play now!
Perfectly girlie and just a little glam, Lela Rose even gave camo print a pretty makeover for Spring '13. Drawing inspiration from the contrasts in artist Jim Hodges's work, Rose worked her own juxtapositions (a recurring Spring theme) on the runway, delivering a set of polished separates with cooler, casual references throughout — not just in her feminine reimagining of camo print, but in easy silhouettes, like moto vests and shorts suits. From there, the collection gave way to more ladylike fare, showcasing Rose's expertise in crafting ladylike little dresses with cinched waists and pretty details. This time, she also delivered a new iteration of floral print — working the pattern like a frame onto dresses and matching tops and trousers, before the collection closed with a parade of embellished cocktail dresses, one more lovely than the next.
What do stars like Katy Perry, Amber Heard, and Rihanna have in common? They're all fans of a no-fail, classic coiffure: the French twist. And they're not alone in their updo choices. At Fall 2012 New York Fashion Week, several designers, including Naeem Khan, Thakoon, Rachel Comey, and Lela Rose, all featured the elegant look in their collections. Each version was gorgeous, and thanks to the talented hands of the stylists who created them, had its own unique spin.
At Naeem Khan (upper left) and Rachel Comey (lower left), flirty eyeliner played well with these twists. But for the former, Bumble and bumble's Laurent Philippon opted for a "slouchy" style, making sure the tousled look wasn't too "hairdresser-y," and for the latter, models' looks were similar, but finished with a more polished touch. As for Thakoon (upper right), Kérastase's Odile Gilbert looked to Audrey Hepburn for inspiration, creating a style that incorporated faux bangs in the front. And at Lela Rose (bottom right), celebrity stylist Ted Gibson also toyed around with fringe-line detailing, forming an eye-catching roll off to the side. What's not to love? So come on little miss . . . and do the twist.
When it comes to ladylike ensembles with a pop of the unexpected, Lela Rose is a prime example of how it's done. And the designer's Fall 2012 beauty look incorporated all of the above, adding a vintage flair to the runway.

Color-emboldened graphic prints and architectural evening dresses dotted Lela Rose's ladylike Fall collection. Drawing inspiration from Spanish architect Santiago Calatrava, the looks ranged from daytime dressing in graphic plaid to evening wear with more obvious nods to the movement of Calatrava's work. The first half of the collection unfolded with a '60-inspired palette; rust, gray, and amber hues washed over knits and printed skirts until the line gave way to prettier fare. Rose finished with a finale of sequin embellishment, sculpted details, femme fit-and-flare dresses, and full-length gowns. Read on for the highlights, then click through to see the whole collection.
