Celebrities Wearing Off-the-Shoulder Dresses at Oscars 2012

Along with the Oscar details we've come to expect (and love) — think fishtail hems, sequins, and skin-baring cutouts — we also noticed that some starlets were giving us a particularly cool brand of cold shoulder. To be exact, it was an off-the-shoulder look that evoked something between flirty, romantic, and effortlessly undone. Look to Milla Jovovich's Elie Saab gown, which featured an Read more

Alberta Ferretti Fall 2012

Alberta Ferretti kept it simple and sleek for Fall 2012, both in color palette and in silhouette, but "simple" certainly doesn't equate to "boring" here. The plethora of sheer purples, royal blues, and crimson reds told a very rich story — one that we envision a strong, sophisticated, albeit ultra-ladylike style setter won't be able to get enough of come next cold-weather season.

Grammy Awards 2012 Best Pictures

There was so much going down onstage at last night's Grammy Awards, it was easy to miss the stars mingling backstage and out in the audience.
