There's something magical about mixing together the hard and soft. Take for instance fluid silk tops. Alone, these romantic blouses can come off overly girly, but the trick is to style them with sleek pants and hard-edge adornments.

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester is a perfect reflection of sugar and spice. Her asymmetrical top is serene; everything else is sexy. Get the picture?

One Star, 3 Makeup Looks: Rachel McAdams at Cannes

Jaime Richards — Fri, 13 May 2011 12:30:00 PDT

There's no denying Rachel McAdams has been looking as beautiful as ever during her various 2011 Cannes Film Festival appearances. Good, clean living plays a part (as well as some enviable genetics), but it's also thanks to the work of her talented makeup artist (and sister), Kayleen McAdams. Learn how Kayleen created three of Rachel's Cannes red-carpet looks below:

"For the Midnight in Paris photo call, the dress was very youthful and fun. We knew we were focusing on the eyes and skin for the premiere [later that day], so we chose to do a bright fun lip," said Kayleen.

Eyes: Kayleen applied Nars Duo Eye Shadow in Silk Road (a palette of pink and rose-gold shades) to Rachel's eyes and topped off her lashes with CoverGirl LashBlast Fusion in Very Black.
Cheeks and lips: Nars Blush in Mata Hari gave a bright, rosy cheek, and Stila Convertible Color in Fuchsia provided the finishing touch.

Tibi's Amy Smilovic left the crowd swooning yesterday for her Spring '12 collection, styled by fashion blogger Elin Kling, and we're sure you could see why. The designer nailed the wide-leg palazzo trend right on the mark with her standout renditions, ranging from soft pastels to our favorite look - a black and green graphic print creation paired with a soft leather top. Another conceptual number came from the remixed shirt dress, featuring a sleek panel of black leather in the front and completed with a silk, cobalt blue back and sleeves. For daywear, Smilovic provided a crisp touch via coral and chambray suit sets - featuring the cutest pair of tailored track shorts - accompanied by soft silk tops. As eveningwear came along, effortless and fluid silk wrap dresses graced the runway, finishing out the striking, irresistible collection. More highlights from the collection below.

Trends: Leather tops, palazzo pants, colorblock, remixed shirt dresses, strapless wrap dresses.

Colors: Coral, cobalt blue, yellow, black, green, turquoise, marigold, white.

Key Look: We loved the black and green graphic colored palazzo pants and leather top combo.

Accessories: Snakeskin flats and high-heel sandals, sexy black ankle-wrap stilettos.

Who Would Wear It: Polished-with-a-twist cuties like Blake Lively and front-row attendees Olivia Palermo, Sophia Bush, and Emma Roberts.
