How Jimi Hendrix and Marianne Faithfull Inspired a Fashion Week Beauty Look

Jaime Richards — Sat, 11 Feb 2012 09:50:40 PST

From makeup to nails, things got totally groovy with Nicole Miller's psychedelic-inspired beauty look. In describing the makeup palette for the show, makeup artist James Kaliardos (for MAC) explained, "It's inspired by the planets, by Jimi Hendrix, Marianne Faithfull, flower-power . . . and burning of the bras." See more about how the look was put together, and get your own groove on along the way.

Nicole Miller Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Fri, 10 Feb 2012 20:31:42 PST

Topping her graphic prints, fringe-trimmed dresses, and flares with floppy hats, Nicole Miller zeroed in on '70s boho-glam for Fall 2012. There was barely a look that didn't hit the runway with a hat to top it all off, adding to the drama and unifying every style with a nod to that confident '70s woman. But it's not just a single trend of the decade we see - Miller's collection offers a taste of all the essential elements in velvet flares, striped and colored leather jackets, bold abstract prints, and fringed dresses and tops you could see on any of the era's rocker chicks.

Trends: '70s, fringe, colored fur and leather, florals and abstract prints.
Colors: Burgundy, black, brown, yellow, and green.
Key Piece: The velvet flares, floppy hats; the orange and yellow shift with black cutout sleeves.
Accessories: Black, tan, and leopard-print hats, leather messenger bags, jeweled clutches, and buckled or lace-up ankle boots.
Who Would Wear It: The girl with an appetite for drama in the everyday; the boho rock chick.

Obsessed With . . . America Ferrera's Red-Hot Look

Noria Morales — Tue, 01 Nov 2011 15:10:37 PDT

America Ferrera provided irrefutable evidence that a) the right dress can awe on its own, and b) curves are brilliant. She wore a red Nicole Miller dress to the premiere of Chicago in London, forgoing big accessories (save for a sexy pair of red peep-toe platforms) in favor of highlighting her gorgeous curves. Obviously, we went straight to the
Nicole Miller online shop to see if we could get the same dress as it's ideal for upcoming holiday parties. We found similar options that are just as flattering; here's what we recommend:

This off-the-shoulder ponte dress ($320) highlights decolletage and will be the ideal LBD that you'll wear every year.

A loose-sleeved red stretch crepe dress ($420) is the right color, but with more louche draping.

This stretchy matte jersey dress ($255) has the same neckline as America's dress but is sleeveless, which means it will translate perfectly for warmer months; if you're looking to cover up the arms, just add a blazer.

OK, now for the best part! Our new PopSugar Shop has an exclusive Nicole Miller deal happening until tomorrow, so if you're serious about getting America's look, you can do it for less.

Hannah Weil — Fri, 17 Dec 2010 11:00:49 PST

Bar Refaeli's mix-and-match of bohemian and cool leather pieces caught my eye while she was out doing a little holiday shopping.

Trend Alert: Pretty Peplum

Hannah Weil — Mon, 13 Dec 2010 07:00:05 PST

If you're feeling that there's something extra femme about these celebs' dresses, you're picking up on the pretty peplum. Just that little ruffled detail lends a whole lot of feminine appeal on Dree Hemingway, Michelle Trachtenberg, and Rachelle LeFevre's looks. We love that there's something retro yet modern about the detail. It's a way to add a visual interest and to define a waistline; plus, in these festive colors, it's perfect for holiday dressing.
