The Beauty Detail Kristen Stewart and January Jones Have in Common

Annie Tomlin — Tue, 08 May 2012 12:40:06 PDT

On first glance, Kristen Stewart and January Jones had little in common for their Met Gala style. The On the Road star chose a snakeskin-bodice Balenciaga dress, while January slipped into a yellow Versace gown. Kristen's hair was wavy and loose; January's was straight and precise. Couldn't be more different, unless you looked at their manicures. Both actresses were sporting a neutral nail polish, a not-yet-released Chanel shade called - what else? - Beige. The goes-with-everything color has a hint of shimmer, and it's being released online on May 16. And in case you're looking for a new lacquer for sandal season, one other Met Gala attendee is a step ahead of you: actress Greta Gerwig chose it for her pedicure before slipping into her Nicholas Kirkwood shoes.

Semiprecious Eyebrows at Chanel: Love It or Leave It?

Miriam Lacey — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 10:42:32 PST

The Chanel Fall 2012 show was all about crystals: ensembles covered in amethyst, runways strewn with sparkling sand, and a set made of enormous stalagmites that could have been taken from Superman's Fortress of Solitude. In keeping with this theme, Miranda Kerr (seen above) and her fellow clotheshorses stepped out in rock-encrusted eyebrows that coordinated nicely with their ensembles. We've seen a lot of interesting eyebrows these past few Fashion Weeks, everything from neon brow powder to bleach and studs. But this is the first time we've actually seen bespoke eyebrows that might as well be jewelry. What do you think - is it cool and avant-garde, or should Karl Lagerfeld just have stuck to semiprecious accents on his coats and necklaces?

Chanel Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Tue, 06 Mar 2012 06:53:56 PST

Both a reimagining and an homage to the label's signature aesthetic, Karl Lagerfeld plays in tweed, sporty silhouettes, and whimsical layers and texture (and bejeweled eyebrows) for Chanel's Fall 2012. Lagerfeld's all-star cast (minus a noticeably absent Freja), including Miranda Kerr, Joan Smalls, and Anja Rubik, took to the catwalk of a snowy white cave, done up in crystal embellishments that mirrored the life-size versions set on the runway. That in itself set the mood for whimsy, which only became more pronounced in Karl's colorful, metallic-embellished visions for Fall - shimmer reflected in slim pants, sparkly-tinged knits, and sheer skirts. Meanwhile, Chanel's tweed got the rainbow treatment, as did the offering of diaphanous frocks with a dose of soft brights. Outerwear maintained the label's sophistication, though the flair for drama was evidenced in roomier silhouettes, some that gave way to boxier shapes with sloped, rounded shoulders, but more that skimmed and highlighted curves in hourglass proportions. That's not to say that it was "ladylike" - very little here spoke to Chanel's ladylike sense. In fact, the feel was overwhelmingly sportier. Even when textures were dressed up in rich metallic detail, shapes were more nonchalant - tunics and dresses layered over pants and perfectly slouchy knits topped trousers. There was nothing too literal; even in playfulness, Karl never overcommits. Jewel tones and geometric details felt fresh, and proportional play felt casual, not overworked. He knows exactly how to draw us in with the theatrics of his runway, but never loses sight of what we've all come to see.

Trends: Dresses over pants, texture, sporty, brights, sheer, metallics.
Colors: Black, green, white, fuchsia, purple, yellow, gray, teal, blue.
Key Piece: The textured metallic trousers were amazing.
Accessories: Cutout buckled Lucite heels, oversize crystal pendants and matching bracelets, Chanel crossbody handbags and clutches in every hue.
Who Would Wear It: Karl's girls, Diane Kruger, Rachel Bilson, and Blake Lively.
