We saw opulently dark hues, flashes of bold oranges and yellows, and now, we've got Jessica Chastain's shimmery blue Louis Vuitton number to add to our Met Gala color spectrum. Her corset-style, full-skirted dress was encrusted with jewel-lined embellishments, giving the metallic satin an even more dazzling sheen effect. The actress complemented her statement gown with soft side-swept waves, a dark red lip, and understated Harry Winston sapphire-and-diamond earrings. What do you think of her cool blue look?

Dakota Fanning gave us a true fairy-tale moment on tonight's Met Gala red carpet. The actress showed her sweet style sensibility in a princess-worthy, lavender Louis Vuitton gown. The confection spoke perfectly to her youth with soft textured rosettes and a romantic off-the-shoulder neckline. Her accessories were equally feminine, comprising a glittering bracelet and flower barrettes tucked into either side of her hair. We love that Dakota mirrored her gown's dreamy hue with a metallic lilac manicure and coordinating box clutch. What do you think of the actress's glamorous arrival?

Gwyneth Paltrow and Kristen Stewart Show Their Love for Louis Vuitton in Paris

Allison McNamara — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 13:16:19 PST

To close out Paris Fashion Week, Marc Jacobs partied with a handful of his fashionable, A-list friends including Kristen Stewart, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Sarah Jessica Parker to fete the launch of his new exhibition at Musee des Arts Decoratifs called "Louis Vuitton - Marc Jacobs: The Exhibition." The two-floor exhibit showcases an entire floor of original Louis Vuitton, and the second floor features designs that Marc Jacobs has created for the brand. Wearing a black Louis Vuitton suit, Gwyneth revealed that she tends to stick to menswear-inspired pieces because of her long, slender frame, saying she doesn't have Sofia Vergara's curves. Curves or not, we think Gwyneth is always dressed to perfection. Watch today's Fab Flash to see all of the looks! On Allison McNamara: Marni for H&M top, Lanvin for H&M lipstick.

Celeb Style: Jessica Hart's Insanely Cute Prepster Look

Hannah Weil — Thu, 08 Mar 2012 09:54:34 PST

If you're not familiar with Jessica Hart yet, you should be, because her style is fantastic. The Australian model knows just how to mix and match, and she nailed a perfect transitional look that speaks to a few of the season's big trends. She adds both a pop of color on her hot-pink pullover and a pop of print on her scarf, then tempers her standout pieces with the basics - a pair of skinny jeans and a classic camel coat. Add to that her sweet round shades and preppy oxford kicks, not to mention a little eye candy via a patent Louis Vuitton satchel, and the result is a pretty pulled-together style that's ideal for the everyday.

Marc Jacobs pulled out all the stops for Louis Vuitton's Fall 2012 collection. The show kicked off with an actual custom-made train steamrolling its way onto the runway. When it came to a full stop, models stepped off (with cute little porters carrying their decadent LV luggage) wearing an array of ladylike silhouettes showcasing Marc Jacobs's signature whimsical touch. Similar to his namesake collection, Jacobs featured oversize silhouettes, but this time, with a more polished touch. Full structured skirts were styled over skinny trousers and fur-collared wool car coats were layered over printed dresses - all of which were styled with Jacobs's now signature oversize floppy hats. Opulent embellishments also came into play; dazzling jewels and ornate embroidery were adorned on an array of coats and suit sets. For evening wear, Jacobs closed out the show with a number of metallic-silver looks, highlighting slightly flared calf-length dresses paired with matching coats. More details from Louis Vuitton's magical collection below.

Trends: Voluminous skirts, oversize coats, ornate embellishments, printed pantsuits.
Colors: Black, camel, red, mustard yellow, blue, purple, green, silver.
Key Piece: The jewel-embellished suits and coats immediately caught our eye..
Accessories: Oversize floppy hats, square-toe platform oxfords and pumps, hair and monogrammed satchels, luggage bags.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who love whimsical ladylike looks, like front-row attendees Sarah Jessica Parker and Poppy Delevigne.

Feeling Punchy? Shop Pieces Inspired by Michelle Williams's Vibrant Orange Oscars Dress

Brittney Stephens — Mon, 27 Feb 2012 12:00:51 PST

There are a myriad of ways to describe the bold, eye-catching color of Michelle Williams's Louis Vuitton dress at the Oscars. First, we heard "reddish orange," followed by "tangerine" - then Michelle herself described it as "kind of coral." It wasn't until Louis Vuitton released a press statement confirming that the gown was "made of burnt orange silk mousseline and organza ribbons" that we knew for sure; this dress is something major. Perhaps the best thing about Michelle's color choice is that it can work with - and flatter - a multitude of skin tones, making it an easy, statement-making look to copy for evening. We've rounded up some of our favorite reddish-orange-tangerine-kind-of-coral-burnt-orange pieces for the upcoming season; click the widget below to shop them now.
