Celeb Style: Beyoncé Makes Pulling Off Spring Brights Look Easy (So Can You!)

Hannah Weil — Fri, 30 Mar 2012 09:41:13 PDT

Beyoncé may single-handedly be making a case for Spring-bright prints. Last week she took the printed-pants trend for a spin, and today, her floor-length Etro skirt caught our eye. She topped her patchwork pattern with a hot-pink Michael Kors tee and finished the look with a few boho accents. The defined waist on her maxi skirt hits at the smallest point, then flows away from the body, while the snug-fit top hugs her slim upper body, making it perfect for highlighting an hourglass frame. To finish, Beyoncé threw an Alexander Wang bag over her shoulder and slipped into Spring's pointed-toe pumps - you can easily swap them out with a pair of flat sandals for a more casual vibe.

Cinderella Chic: Try Spring's Fairy-Tale Trend

Brittney Stephens — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 06:30:18 PST

Fairy-tale fashion is officially in: the always-fashionable Ginnifer Goodwin turns heads on the small screen in Once Upon a Time, and there are not one, but two Snow White-themed films coming out this year (Mirror Mirror, starring Julia Roberts, and Snow White and the Huntsman with Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart). We caught the pretty princess bug after seeing the look on the runways at Viktor & Rolf, Louis Vuitton, and Alexander McQueen - and with the Oscars happening this weekend, we've found ourselves thinking, "What would Anne Hathaway do?" Between the frothy chiffon tops, feathered frocks, and sparkling tiaras, it's hard not to get swept away on the fairy-tale train for Spring; whether you're feeling more fairy godmother (in a sweet color palette of whites, pinks, and creams) or evil queen, the season is all about enchantment.

Alexander Wang is no longer the new kid on the style block, and this season, he cast some of the biggest names in modeling: Joan Smalls, Liu Wen, Gisele Bundchen, Karolina Kurkova, Shalom Harlow, and more. They sported a beauty look that was easy, wearable and slightly tomboyish - something that works equally well on the runway or the sidewalk. Check out our video for a sneak peek at Alexander's newest nail polish collaboration with Sally Hansen, plus so much more from behind the scenes.

Alexander Wang Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 19:42:08 PST

Alexander Wang staged a dark and dramatic show tonight at Pier 94, setting the mood for a high-impact show complete with a tricky "runway" configuration, strategically placed mirrors, and our favorite highlight of the night, a surprise appearance from Gisele Bundchen. "I personally think he's a great guy, a great person, and he's always so sincere," said Bundchen. "He asked me and I'm very happy that I was able to be here." The show kicked off with a vast array of structured, lacquered wool coats paired with laser-cut fishnet turtlenecks - pulled over part of the face to look like a mask - and waxed suede manipulated to look like leather. The latter was used to create black- and oxblood-hued military-inspired dresses and sexy front-slit skirts. Then came the fringe, thus far a burgeoning trend on the Fall runways, juxtaposed on crisp collared shirtdresses and tops. The surprise closer of the evening featured top models like Karolina Kurkova and Bundchen facing the mirrors - then peeling off their half-masks. Mystifying? Yes, but there's no confusion when it comes to Wang and his modern way of thinking.

Trends: Lacquer, laser-cut details, fringe.
Colors: Black, oxblood, white.
Key Piece: A cropped hoodie jacket, leather minidress, any of the botanical ombré pieces.
Accessories: Lacquered and leather knee-high boots, stacked ankle boots, leather gloves, leather duffel bags, small crossbody bags.
Who Would Wear It: Downtown girls like Alexa Chung, Zoe Kravitz, and Erin Wasson.

Diane Kruger and Karolina Kurkova Do Skirts Over Dresses - Is It Wearable?

Hannah Weil — Thu, 09 Feb 2012 09:27:29 PST

It's not unlike Diane Kruger to be among the first to start a fashion-forward trend. The style setter joined Karolina Kurkova to take skirts over dresses off the runways and into reality. While Karolina opted for Alexander Wang's Pre-Fall '12 look at a Jay-Z concert, Diane Kruger embraced the trend in her 10 Crosby by Derek Lam florals and stripes at the Berlin International Film Festival. Every season, we're introduced to new styling techniques and while fashion is all about experimentation, we're wondering: do you think the designers' new layering techniques translate well into real-life fashion? Would you ever do the skirt-over-dress thing?
