The Look For Less: Rick Owens Asymmetric Tee

I'm sure you all have plenty of t-shirts in your stash, but do you have a one-shouldered tee in the mix?
Rick Owens at ShopStyle

I'm sure you all have plenty of t-shirts in your stash, but do you have a one-shouldered tee in the mix? This Rick Owens Lilies Asymmetric Tee ($160, originally $228) has badass written all over it. The simple subtraction of one sleeve takes the look from regular to off-kilter. Genius, but even at 30 percent off, it's pricey. Sorry, Rick, we have to move on . . .

When Marc Jacobs Gifted Her His Perry Ellis Grunge Collection, Courtney Love Burned It

>> Courtney Love, who launched WhatCourtneyWoreToday.com last week, has been gifted many a designer dud over the years, but she's typically given it an unconventional welcome.

>> Courtney Love, who launched WhatCourtneyWoreToday.com last week, has been gifted many a designer dud over the years, but she's typically given it an unconventional welcome. She's set fire to some of it (“Marc [Jacobs] sent me and Kurt [Cobain] his Perry Ellis grunge collection . . . We burned it. We were punkers — we didn’t like that kind of thing.”); tried to take shears to some of it (“I went to whack [a floral, Empire-waist couture gown given to her by John Galliano in 1997] with scissors because it would be more useful that way . . . Somebody said to me, ‘You aren’t whacking s--t and this is why,’ and explained to me what couture was.") . . . and has even worked out in some of it ("I perform in Rick [Owens], I sleep in Rick and I jog in Rick. I have, like, eight pairs of his harem pants. I’ve been running in Rick Owens for years.")

She credits Karl Lagerfeld with turning her around »

Of all the hotties at the Mulberry party in LA last night, Jessica Stroup looked like she had the most fun. The 90210 star was all smiles wearing a tenacious textural 'fit composed of an embellished black skirt, v-neck halter top, and lace cardi. Black pumps, a matching clutch, and a chunky silver ring are her accompaniments of choice. It's all black — and far from basic.

Trend Alert: Ruched Pants

Trust Miley Cyrus to work glam with an edge.

Trust Miley Cyrus to work glam with an edge. Her outfit's not overworked, but it's definitely got something more luxe in the way of leg wear, thanks to her Saloni black chiffon ruched pants. She paired the draped, dressier bottoms with funky Proenza Schouler tie-dye and open-toe lace-up Louboutins. It's a bolder pant — the draping adds visual interest and volume — but they come off pretty effortlessly. Style with a tee or tank and a pair of killer heels, and do as Miley did.

>> Daphne Guinness Wears Rick Owens to the Gym —Daphne Guinness told the Times UK she doesn't understand why people want to look rich these days; when questioned about her habit of piling on the diamonds, she replied: “But half of them are paste. And no one can ever tell the difference. That’s the point.” Guinness, who works out "all the time," was then asked what she wears to the gym: “Not diamonds. Normal stuff. A Rick Owens white T-shirt and black leggings. I’m not high-maintenance. When I think my hair needs a bit of help, I just glue another bit on to my head.” [Times UK]

Although Owens has been staying at the Bowery Hotel since Sunday, he didn't attend the Costume Institute Gala, despite being invited, for "reasons he’d rather not discuss," WWD reports. He did hit up Mick Jagger and L'Wren Scott's after party at The Carlyle, however.

Trend Alert: Slashed

No doubt it would turn Freddy Krueger on.

No doubt it would turn Freddy Krueger on. Dresses and skirts are finding themselves purposely slashed. An easy DIY project, but leave it to the pros to outfit the stars — Halle's champagne slashed Gucci dress is beyond sexy. Me? I've already taken some scissors to an old tee. I admit, I went a little aggro on one, but I can at least sleep in my slashed victim. Lesson here is: slash with caution. Whether store-bought or self-fashioned, this is one killer trend.

Trend Alert: Colored Leather Skirts

There's a reason Kate Bosworth is one of our favorite celeb style icons.

There's a reason Kate Bosworth is one of our favorite celeb style icons. Her taste in clothes is exquisite, and she always manages to turn a simple classic into a refreshing new trend. While heading into a New York hotel, the actress flashed a sunny smile wearing a crisp white shirt, black pumps, and eye-catching colored leather skirt. The latter gives her sophisticated ensemb the ultimate exotic luxe touch. I know, you probably already own a black version, but aren't these jewel-toned renditions so enticing? Here's a tip: instead of spending the big buckaroos at high-end retailers, I suggest perusing the racks at your local thrift shop for the ultimate vintage find. I'll see you in aisle three . . .
