Elizabeth Olsen Dons Two Chic Designer Looks - Which One Is Your Fave?

Brittney Stephens — Sat, 14 Jan 2012 14:50:25 PST

Elizabeth Olsen has been blowing up our style radar lately, and for good reason - the budding actress knows just how to play with prints and proportions while enhancing her statuesque frame. At last night's Los Angeles Film Critics Association Awards, Elizabeth wore a sexy, floral-print cutout dress by Proenza Schouler and carried a pearlescent striped clutch from Edie Parker. This morning at the Independent Spirit Awards nominee brunch, she switched things up by going soft and louche in a pretty dress and blazer combo from Chloé. She finished the look with nude pumps and a cream-colored box clutch - but Elizabeth's best accessory might have to be her killer smile. Which look do you love more?

People's Choice Awards: Chloë Moretz

FabSugar — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 19:51:41 PST

We're completely smitten with Chloë Moretz's bold, ladylike look on the red carpet tonight. Not only did the 14-year-old actress walk away with the Favorite Movie Star Under 25 award - but she did it in style. Chloë wore an intricately woven Proenza Schouler frock, cinched at the waist with a thin black leather belt. She kept things simple (as far as accessories go) and opted for a pair of patent leather Mary Jane-style heels with a clear panel insert. She may be young, but Chloë surely has her sartorial prowess down pat.

Celeb Style: Gwyneth Paltrow's Chic Blazer and Booties

Hannah Weil — Mon, 05 Dec 2011 10:41:22 PST

Traveling in comfort and style are not mutually exclusive - just ask Gwyneth Paltrow. The style pro paired relaxed pieces with a few luxe accompaniments to pull off the perfect easy-chic look. She swaps out the predictable denim bottoms for a pair of cool riding pants, then tops them with a sophisticated blazer and a seasonal scarf. Of course, the pieces we're really drawn to are the covetable details - a pair of Proenza Schouler booties up the ante on any basic style, while an oversized Balenciaga tote furthers that effortlessly polished vibe.

Celeb Style: Nicky Hilton's Ultrachic LBD and Statement Jewels

Hannah Weil — Thu, 01 Dec 2011 08:11:12 PST

In an elegant black cocktail dress, Nicky Hilton sets the bar high for holiday-season dressing. The look is utterly timeless, save for a few fresh updates that make it a standout party style. We love that she pairs her classic strapless LBD with edgier pieces, like a mixed-metal statement necklace, her own jeweled and spiked Nicky Hilton bracelets, and strappy lace-up heels. With a look like this, it'd be easy to take the predictable route, accessorizing with a coordinating clutch, but Nicky's Proenza Schouler pouchette is a much cooler counterpart. Feeling inspired?

Celeb Style: Jamie Chung's Leather Mini and Hot Leopard Heels

Hannah Weil — Fri, 11 Nov 2011 08:00:19 PST

How does one manage to be both totally on trend and perfectly understated all at once? We're looking to Jamie Chung's effortlessly styled event look, one that manages to be chic and not at all over the top even while mixing leopard print and leather. The key to balancing the sexy statement pieces is in her cozy topper; a chunky brown French Connection cardigan and simple white tee provide a comfy contrast to a high-impact miniskirt, also from French Connection, and heels. Naturally, a little Proenza Schouler arm candy only furthers the cool effect. Feeling inspired? Just shop our editors' picks to channel Jamie's style.

Look We're Loving: Modern Tribal Prints

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 04:00:38 PST

Tribal prints have been revamped this season showing more polish then ever before. We love this trend and apparently, so do some of Hollywood's most stylish girls. Kate Bosworth recently made an appearance in an exotic printed dress by Burberry paired with sexy black sandals. Marisa Tomei decked out in a gorgeous tribal-inspired head-to-toe Proenza Schouler ensemble at The Ides Of March premiere. And last but not least, Maggie Gyllenhaal attended the press conference for Hysteria wearing an equally stunning dress from Dries Van Noten. Get the same look with our similar picks below.

Our Favorite Velvet Pieces - and How to Wear Them

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 28 Oct 2011 03:30:29 PDT

Velvet: you either love it or you hate it. We, of course, love the luxe seasonal trend seen on Fall runways from designers like Proenza Schouler - check out those amazing pants - Nina Ricci, Mary Katrantzou, and Marc Jacobs to name a few. Pair it with wool blazers and sweaters for an extra textural ensemble, or go casual and wear it with denim jeans or a chambray top for a cool off-duty look. That said, we culled our velvet favorite picks for you to add to your wardrobe in the slideshow. Also, check out our quick styling tips below on how to wear the trend.

Balance out a velvet top or pant with tailored pieces, like a wool blazer or trousers, for a polished appeal.
A little velvet can go a long way. If you're shy to wearing the trend, try out the trend via a bag or pumps.
Treat a pair of velvet pants or leggings like a pair of jeans during the Winter. They're super cozy and add the perfect twist to any ensemble.
