New York's models walked their final runways last night, and although Fashion Week is officially over, now the real fun begins as we take a look back. Get a head start on all the emerging trends by checking out these 15 gorgeous looks from the last few days.

Celeb Style: Emmy Rossum

My girl crush on Emmy Rossum was just cemented by this glamorous ballerina ensemb she wore last night at the American Museum of Natural History's 2010 Museum Dance. Though her sexy black sparkle top and white skirt are actually a Luca Luca dress, this look can be easily achieved with a frothy white tiered skirt and sexy black tank. Black satin peep-toes, a fun black satin clutch, and killer Stephen Russell layered necklaces complete the perfection.

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2007: Luca Luca Beauty

BellaSugar — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 10:24:33 PST

Behind the scenes at the Fall 2007 Luca Luca show was every bit as glamorous as you would have imagined. Gorgeous, flawless looking models sat and waited their turn as makeup artists, lead by Tom Pecheaux, perfected smokey eyes and hair stylist, Teddy Charles, coiffed and curled.

The clothing was lined neatly in racks and the red carpet area had a white and silver Luca Luca backdrop. Unfortunately the photo area was packed inside since it was a mere 9 degrees on this frigid New York day. Although cramped, photographers didn't skip a beat as Carmen Electra, Kimora Lee Simmons, Lauren Conrad, Bobbi Thomas, Kelly Rowland, JC Chasez and many more made their fashionably late entrances.

Lucky for me, I had the opportunity to speak with both hair and makeup about their looks for the show. Teddy explained that he and Luca wanted to do something to up-sweep the models hair and keep it off of their necks to show off the details in the clothing. He also felt that sweeping the hair upwards shows off their faces.

He began this updo with hair that had been washed the day before. He started with a low ponytail and didn't pull it completely through - in essence he made a loop.

With the remainder of hair that was poking out, he used a Tourmaline T3 Ionic Wet/Dry Iron to create waves. Then he set hair with a touch of Kerastase Resistance Double Force Hair Spray. Each model only took about 20 minutes.

To read about the makeup used in the show and to see more beauty centric images,

All of the makeup was by MAC Cosmetics. The eyes were definitely the main focus. They were lined in black liner and carbon, an intense black shadow was applied densely in the crease so that it looked opaque. It was then blended out with a brush and q-tip to look sheer on the lid.

Over the shadow, shadow pigment in dark soul was carefully applied with a crease brush. This is where the intense gold glitter look comes from. Next, lots of zoomlash black mascara in zoomblack was applied to the lashes in several coats and no false lashes were used.

The face was done last in case the dark shadow fell. It was primed, then concealer and foundation was added. The finishing touch was a drop of strobe cream added to the skin to reflect light. Atop that was a dusting of Blot Powder Loose. Just a hint of contour was added to the cheeks.

Brows had a clear gloss on them to look nice and wet. Lips were a nude color to appear like they were fading into the skin. Actually, a new product by MAC called Skinfinish in Shimpagne was finger brushed onto the lips.

New York Fashion Week, Fall 2007: Luca Luca

FabSugar — Wed, 07 Feb 2007 04:23:33 PST

Luca Luca continues to exude upscale elegance and charm with their Fall 2007 collection. Colors here were muted; nothing was bold except for the gold/silver lame in most of the threads.

The showstopper was the ski wear. These sporty looks were shocking and pristine - a jolt of white lightening. Other stunners included a pair of silver metallic rayon skinny pants, a champagne sequin dress with caramel mink stripes and an exquisite white fox vest. Clearly, Luca Luca has no reservations about fur. Evening wear was very alluring and sexy with long, elegant and shimmery gowns. Skin was an accessory with plunging draped backs; a woman would feel just as sexy as she looked wearing these items. There were some 80's references: a high waisted pleated pant with cuffs and a (surprisingly really cute) zip up sweatshirt dress. The handbags featured were larger than their usual clutches; some were lovely, some were way too large to be practical.

NY Fashion Week: Luca Luca

FabSugar — Tue, 12 Sep 2006 10:17:06 PDT

Luca Luca may not be a household name, but when the Hilton sisters, Patricia Field, and Emmy Rossum all show up at the label's New York Fashion Week event, you know Luca Luca is a name to know. And after seeing the Spring 2007 collection, I can understand why the celebs love it. (To see all of Fabsugar's New York Fashion Week coverage, click here.)

Created by Milan native and noted looker Luca Orlandi, the clothes are delightfully feminine without being fussy; again, we see a heavy reliance on neutral tones, here with romantic splashes of red. The irresistible cocktail dresses and evening gowns emphasize clean lines and retro-inspired shapes, including cape jackets, high waists, and voluminous skirts, that are both flattering and innovative. Details like bows and embroidery-which might look frivolous elsewhere-take on a sleek sophistication. To see the collection,

Met Gala: Isabel Lucas

BellaSugar — Mon, 02 May 2011 19:45:06 PDT

Isabel Lucas looks like a Greek goddess in this melon-orange Louis Vuitton halter dress. But the pièce de résistance is her intricate gold headpiece, set off by a simple, low-slung ponytail. Coordinating earrings and a metallic purse, as well as a cute bow-shaped button accent, bring it all together. Do you adore Isabel's look?

Famous for its five-word acceptance speeches, last night's Webby Awards honored Steve Jobs in its perfectly succinct fashion. Actors John Hodgman and Justin Long - of the PC and Mac commercials - took the stage, along with Richard Dreyfuss - narrator of the "Here's to the crazy ones . . . " "Think Different" Apple ad - to introduce the video of Hollywood heavyweights, politicians, and even an astronaut, speaking in five-word tributes to the man who changed the world through technology.
