Classic tweed jackets, perfectly tailored circle skirts, and ethereal gauzy gowns in the softest shades of powder blue and muted pink - Oscar de la Renta's Fall '12 show was, in a word, dreamy. We can always count on Oscar for red-carpet perfect dresses and the most elevated execution of ladylike wares, and this season was no exception to the rule.

SAG Awards: Emily Blunt

FabSugar — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 17:49:48 PST

At the SAG Awards, Emily Blunt stepped out in a diaphanous green Oscar de la Renta one-shouldered creation that hugged every curve. She added a double dose of bombshell to her look by showing off her gams with the help of a thigh-high leg slit. Her chic low bun, rosy lip tint, and voluminous lashes complemented her elegant floor-length gown perfectly. Lest we forget, her sparkly, crystal-encrusted stack of bangles and equally embellished clutch lent an A-list accessory shine to the finished look. Are you feeling Emily's verdant ensemble?

Golden Globes: Tina Fey

We did a double take when we saw Tina Fey hit the red carpet. The comedienne went totally glam for the Golden Globes, opting for a ruched and textured Oscar de la Renta confection. She complemented the cranberry-hued gown with a glittering plum clutch, then played up the glam-girl vibe with voluminous waves and megawatt jewels from Kwiat. How did Tina do?

Beats by Dre Goes High-End With Oscar de la Renta

Kristy Korcz — Tue, 03 Jan 2012 17:34:41 PST

Not to be outdone by any possible new celebrity-endorsed gadgets at this year's CES, Beats by Dre has partnered up with designer Oscar de la Renta for the ultimate in fashion and performance - a limited-edition set of silver fox-covered Beats complete with CloudTalk so you can chat on your iPhone and walk the urban catwalk at the same time.

These plush cans remind me of earmuffs I used to wear as a kid, but are definitely more expensive. They come with an equally luxurious price tag of $695. Your music had better be on point.

Emmys: Claire Danes

For the Emmys, Claire Danes wore a classic, blue-sequined Oscar de la Renta gown with geometric figures sewn into the sequins. The shape is simple, but the patterning is like something out of Picasso's blue period. Claire gave the ensemble - worn with Barbara Bui heels - more edge with smoked-out eyeliner and coral lipstick.

Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 18:15:40 PDT

A sense of youthful fun pervaded Oscar de la Renta's Spring 2012 runway show. It was partly due to Justin Timberlake in the front row, the runway models' crimped hair, dewy skin, and sock-with-sandal styling, but it was mostly the clothes. Not driven so much by a theme as by a girl, a younger girl than de la Renta's traditional customer, who will be a little more playful with her choice of clothes. A feather-trimmed sequined shift, acid-green harem pants with a feathered crop top, and gathered taffeta ball-skirt gowns layered with lace cropped shirts were not for the faint of fashion heart; more staid were a series of easy chiffon shift dresses and wide-leg trousers and pussy-bow blouses. It's as if the almost-80-year-old designer were having a good long wink at the crowd, reminding us that you're never too old to have fun. It's a treat that his version of fun is so darn beautiful, too.

Trends: bold color, volume, asymmetry, crochet, feathers.
Colors: cobalt blue, white, pale pink, champagne, yellow floral print.
Key Piece:The taffeta ball gowns layered with cropped tops in lace and crochet.
Accessories: Strappy stilettos and open-toe booties in black and white from Manolo Blahnik.
Who Would Wear It: Certainly not Justin Timberlake, but we can't wait to see young starlets like Diane Kruger, Kate Bosworth, Rachel Bilson, and Olivia Palermo work de la Renta's jazzy, evening options on the red carpet.

Oh, Pretty: Oscar de la Renta Releases a Makeup Palette With Fall's Hottest Colors

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 08 Sep 2011 10:08:57 PDT

Oscar de la Renta has been a fragrance stalwart for years now, but now he's got at least one fashionable cosmetic to his name as well. His new limited-edition makeup palette, called the "Ready to Wear" Kaleidoscope, was created in collaboration with Le Métier de Beauté, but the colors are all Oscar. In fact, the shades are taken from de la Renta's Fall 2011 collection, and there's everything from blush to rouge and eyeshadow.

"I have chosen shades that are indispensable," de la Renta told WWD. "Like a good red lip and a neutral highlighter for the cheekbones. Color has always been an extremely important part of who I am as a designer. It is wonderful to work with cosmetics because they are such an important part of a woman's sense of femininity."

At $150, the palette is certainly pricey, and it's also only available tonight during Fashion's Night Out at Bergdorf Goodman or the designer's boutique. A portion of the proceeds is going to the NYC AIDS Fund, so it's not just a selfish extravagance, either.

Of course, the majority of us aren't in New York, so for us this palette is more a preview of what could be in the pipe. So many designers already have a makeup collection, but if de la Renta came out with one, would you be in line to buy it?
