Reem Acra Spring 2013

Reem Acra was all about downtown attitude today as she showed off a stunningly modern collection for Spring '13. Inspired by Aaron Young's iconic motorcycle art, the line's sharp and tailored pieces are perfect for the working woman, red-carpet beauty, and everyone in between. The show opened up with leather dresses and silk sheaths highlighting laser cutouts made to look like motorcycle tread marks. Next came a series of elegant separates ranging from silky, wide-leg trousers to tailored, tuxedo-inspired dresses and jumpsuits. Then came the red-carpet drama; sultrier looks showed sheer, jeweled insets, the most daring being a red gown with sheer, body-length side panels. Of course, it wouldn't be a Reem Acra show without a few glamorous gold gowns dripping in intricate embroidery. Acra devised gorgeous tulle gowns decorated with paillettes and floral details. Read more details from the exquisite collection below.

  • Trends: Sheer details, jumpsuits, wide-leg trousers, and bomber jackets.
  • Colors: Navy, green, red, ivory, gold, and fuchsia.
  • Key Piece: The navy dress with a sheer bodice inset looked stunning from every angle.
  • Accessories: Neon pumps, patent ankle-strap pumps, metallic sandals, leather clutches, and silver belts.
  • Who Should Wear It: We can see Kristen Stewart working it in one of Reem's sexy, sheer-paneled gowns and Taylor Swift in the designer's gilded gold creations.

No one graced last night's CMT Awards stage as much as cohost and starlet Kristen Bell, and we've got five stunning outfits to serve as fashionable proof. Setting the bar high, she started the evening off in a cap-sleeved, gold-embellished Reem Acra Fall '12 gown and matching clutch. Then, the blond beauty took on two different Monique Lhuillier numbers, donning a quirky, strapless, ombré, sequined frock, complete with feather caplet, and then a sleeker black chiffon gown adorned with a gold halter-style neckline. The sparkle and shine didn't stop there; Kristen also glowed in a showstopping, crystal-encrusted, nude, one-shouldered Collette Dinnigan creation from the designer's vintage collection. Finally, for the afterparty festivities, she slipped into a sparkly, cocktail-perfect LWD and pointy-toe pumps. Got all that? Now it's time to weigh in — which of Kristen's CMT Awards' looks is your favorite?

Glee's Jayma Mays sparkled in a dark, floor-skimming Reem Acra gown. Aside from the sequin-and-shine factor, the back of the dress featured a black lacy cutout that was equal parts sweet and sexy. She finished her SAGs look off with a high ponytail, smoky kohl-lined eyes, and elegant white drop earrings. What do you think of this embellished ensemble?

Golden Globes: Madonna

Madonna is never one to go with the masses, and her Golden Globes look spoke to that truth.

Madonna is never one to go with the masses, and her Golden Globes look spoke to that truth. For the night's festivities, Madonna wore a sequined silver and green bodice gown by Reem Acra, complete with fingerless gloves — only she can pull off fingerless gloves on the red carpet. Letting her dress do all the talking, Madonna kept the rest of her look minimal, complementing the ensemble with her trademark cross necklace, soft wavy hair, and a natural makeup palette. L-u-v?
