  • Cindy Crawford, her mother, Jennifer Crawford-Moluf, and her daughter, Kaia Gerber, all star in a new JC Penney commercial designed to remind viewers about Mother's Day on Sunday, May 13.

"Colorants used to create, neon, day-glo or glow-in-the-dark nail polishes have not gone through the FDA approval process, so technically they are not allowed for use for nail polish applications," said Doug School, chief scientific officer for Creative Nail Design. [Fashion Etc.]

  • Salvatore Ferragamo is renewing its It brand status thanks to its clothing and shoes being seen on the backs of stars like Lady Gaga.

Celebrities at Ferragamo Signorina Party

There's something particularly impressive about the crop of celebrity looks from last night's Ferragamo fete. It seems every attendee stepped out with the same goal in mind: to play off of the dreamy floral decor in Salvatore Ferragamo's Spring 2012 collection of perfectly on-trend Spring brights and vibrant tropical prints. There was hardly a look in the group that didn't complement the rose-covered backdrop at the brand's launch of their Signorina fragrance. From Kate Mara's slightly sexier take on botanicals in a silky halter dress to Jessica Hart's hot pink leather pants, and Alexandra Richards's elegant play on colorblocking — the night's celebrity guests were all on the same page, as far as dress code was concerned. On that note, each serves as a pretty on-point example for two of Spring's biggest trends. Just click through to see all of the night's standout style moments — and garner a little seasonal dressing inspiration from each.

Ferragamo Fall 2012

Strength and seduction ruled Ferragamo's Fall 2012 collection, both in its tailoring and sensuous color palette, and we have creative director Massimiliano Giornetti's fascination with Czarist Russia to credit.

Strength and seduction ruled Ferragamo's Fall 2012 collection, both in its tailoring and sensuous color palette, and we have creative director Massimiliano Giornetti's fascination with Czarist Russia to credit. Specifically, the designer focused on the gilded elite from two distinct views, as seen in the strict, clean lines of the military-inspired silhouette and in the softer, sheer fabrics of the delicate lace dresses. In marrying the two ideas, we saw an interesting, albeit ultra-elegant, juxtaposition of pretty plum and mauve-hued frocks styled up with structured outerwear, diaphanous gowns paired with tough leather accessories, and opulently embroidered sweaters teamed up with long, luxe sergeant coats. At the heart of it all, though, the Fall '12 lineup was an excellent showcase of romantic, ladylike pieces, each perfectly adorned with equally charming chokers, velvet boots, and bright gold buttons. See more Ferragamo details below.

  • Trends: Opulent sheer lace, velvet accents, military-inspired outerwear, peasant tops, and a modified paisley print.
  • Colors: Plum, mauve, gold, metallic silver, charcoal gray, and black.
  • Key Piece: The sheer lace peasant-inspired dresses; the strong trench coat silhouette.
  • Accessories: Wide chain belts, lace-up heels, flower-adorned chokers, super structured saddle bags and clutches, and luxe velvet boots.
  • Who Would Wear It: Ladies who exude a double-edged femininity — one that's both strong and soft — like Zoe Saldana and Angelina Jolie.

Ferragamo Fall 2012

>> Czarist Russia and Eastern Europe were the touch points for Massimiliano Giornetti's Fall 2012 Salvatore Ferragamo collection. The result? A romantic mix of elevated peasant silhouettes and precise military shapes. There were off-the-shoulder tops and gypsy skirts came in brocade or frothy sheers, with elaborate lace or gilded embroidery providing an element of luxe exoticism. Double-breasted coats and suits were sharply cut in greige astrakhan or rich navy wool and decorated with piping, epaulets, and rows of shiny gold buttons.
