Trend Alert: Studded Boots

FabSugar — Fri, 03 Apr 2009 11:00:22 PDT

Check it: studded boots aren't just for the rough and tough biker babes. Today, any girl with a little bit of funk in her can sport these badass, embellished boots. Notice how Sienna Miller, English model Sarah Harding, and Megan Fox wore studded boots in very different ways. Sienna looked like a bohemian girl in a slouchy, suede pair by Vivienne Westwood; Sarah took the rocker route - with her utterly adorable Frenchie - in a hard-hitting strappy pair; while Megan stayed California cool and paired her slick, knee-high boots with jeans and a bright cardi.

We're With the Band: Rock the Vintage-Tee Trend For an Infinitely Cool Outfit Twist

Hannah Weil — Tue, 22 May 2012 14:53:09 PDT

A look at Ashley Madekwe, Jessica Stroup, and Kristen Stewart's looks inspired one thought: these girls look seriously cool. The common denominator in each of their ensembles is a sweet, vintage-feeling t-shirt that takes jeans and shorts to an infinitely more awesome place. Sure, a white cotton tee or your favorite tank could top your separates just as easily, but a t-shirt that pays homage to your best-loved bands or touts a favorite saying delivers the kind of cool-girl edge that makes these style-setters' looks pop. Dress up the look à la Ashley Madekwe with pointed pumps and statement earrings, or add a blazer and studded loafers for a pulled-together everyday style that delivers more of a statement. If you're feeling Jessica Stroup's take on the trend, then reach for lacy shorts and ankle boots to further the '90s feel. Any way you choose to wear yours, the effect is universally cool. Just shop our editors' picks to find your own tee, or head to your local thrift stores and flea markets to seek out the style that suits you best.

Kristen Stewart Goes Casual Before Her Fashion Moment at the Met Gala

Katie Henry — Mon, 07 May 2012 14:52:00 PDT

Kristen Stewart dressed in flat back boots and a leather motorcycle jacket leaving her NYC hotel today. She looked relaxed and ready to make a grand entrance at tonight's star-studded Met Gala. Kristen's been on the go in recent days following a short visit to Vancouver last week to shoot new Breaking Dawn Part 2 footage with Robert Pattinson and a Friday night appearance on The Tonight Show.

Kristen revealed she suffered an injury on set while filming in the woods, so she may be forced to stick with flats tonight when she arrives at the Met Gala. She's expected to wear a gown from Balenciaga, but we'll have to wait and see if her foot is well enough to climb the stairs in stilettos. Be sure to check in with us throughout the night as we bring you minute-to-minute coverage live from the steps of the Met!

Take a Closer Look at the Best Fall Accessories From Alexander Wang, Dannijo, DVF, and More

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 26 Mar 2012 13:22:46 PDT

Fashion Month is said and done, and now we're supplying you with a zoomed-in look at the top shoes, bags, and accessories from Fall 2012 New York Fashion Week. Yes, we are months away from Fall, but who wants to wait to check out all these gorgeous creations from the best American designers? Not us, and now's the time we start forecasting next season's trends. We noticed an overarching theme of structure and minimalism; designers like Alexander Wang and Phillip Lim showed a delectable array of totes and ankle-strap sandals punched up with bold colors and textures. Meanwhile, designers like Michael Kors and Diane von Furstenberg highlighted luxurious embellishments in the way of fur and artful appliqué. Also, could the crazy platform heel be seeing the end of its day soon? We couldn't help but notice its lack of presence, replaced by a bevy of point-toe ankle boots and statement pumps in the footwear category. Want to see more top looks from the New York collections? Read below for our top three picks, then just click the slideshow to see over 100 more irresistible shoes, bags, and jewels for Fall.

We're totally in love with these Alexander Wang ankle-strap heels. We love the simple shape injected with a bold neon hue.
Our search for the perfect clutch might be over, thanks to Jason Wu's blue studded confection. We die for the structured silhouette and fringe tassel detail.
We'd love to take this surrealism-inspired Diane von Furstenberg clutch out for a spin. We'd pair it with a little white dress and striking heels for a new twist on black-tie dressing.

Diesel Black Gold Fall 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 14:34:07 PST

It was all about baggy cuts and luxe fabrics at Diesel Black Gold's Fall showing today at Pier 57. Designer Sophia Kokosalaki stayed true to the brand's rock 'n' roll aesthetic, showing a range of printed skinnies, oversized cuffed leather pants, and a lot of leopard. Inspired by "vintage B-movies," Kokosalaki took it to the streets with an assortment of paint-splattered pants, low-slung leather wrap skirts, and a heavy helping of leopard prints. Designs for the downtown girl, but there were also a few notable pony hair tops and jackets which added a sleek touch to the collection. The complete breakdown below.

Trends: Baggy silhouettes, wrap skirts, printed pants.
Colors: Black, gray, brick red, navy blue.
Key Piece: We loved the pony-hair tops and leather wrap skirts.
Accessories: Studded bags, paint-splattered ankle boots, wide belts, chain jewelry.
Who Would Wear It: In addition to front-row attendees Harley Viera-Newton and Emmy Rossum, we can also see Zoe Kravitz and Jessica Szohr wearing this collection.

Rodarte Fall 2012

Marisa Tom — Tue, 14 Feb 2012 12:35:12 PST

Leave it to Kate and Laura Mulleavy to not only draw a star-studded front row - hello, George Lucas, Natalie Portman, and Dakota Fanning - but to deliver a stellar, 1940s-inspired Fall '12 collection too. One part cave-drawing-infused, one part retro femme, and one part Australian outback-reminiscent, Rodarte showcased a beautiful mix of totally girlie pieces with both red-carpet appeal and wearable ladylike style. The sister duo paid close attention to feminine details á la Peter Pan collars, artfully structured ruffles, and metal star appliqué hair combs. Yet, never ones to shy away from throwing some quirk into the picture, they added literal hand prints to long, flowy evening gowns and added cowboy buckles to double-strap leather belts. The biggest covet-worthy takeaway from today's show? After several seasons of collaborating with key shoe designers like Nicholas Kirkwood and Christian Louboutin, the Mulleavy sisters debuted their first-ever in-house shoe collection. We're calling it: Rodarte's two-tone pumps with heels made of plexiglass, sexy dominatrix-inspired spat heels, and lace-up boots will be Fall '12 It girl items. All in all, it's a gorgeous autumnal lineup, just begging to be worn.

Trends: Cropped cable-knit sweaters, hand-print chiffon dresses, and 1940s-inspired silhouettes.
Colors: Warm, earthy tones like rust and terracotta juxtaposed against cool neutrals.
Key Piece: Super-cute chunky cable-knit sweaters paired with terracotta-hued trousers; diaphanous hand-print chiffon dresses.
Accessories: Ladylike round-toe pumps with heels made of plexiglass or filled with sand, sexy lace-up gladiator-inspired spat heels. Look out for the subtleties in each heel design.
Who Would Wear It: Front-row attendees Natalie Portman and Dakota Fanning are high up on the list, but we think a plethora of A-list talent will be clamoring to wear this collection. Don't be surprised to see Taylor Swift, Alexa Chung, Kirsten Dunst, and Elle Fanning flaunting Rodarte's wares, too.

Madonna Rocks Out in Givenchy at Super Bowl: Love It or Leave It?

Chi Diem Chau — Mon, 06 Feb 2012 08:02:26 PST

Our favorite part about last night's Super Bowl? The Madonna halftime show. The 53-year-old proved she's still got it, singing, dancing, and above all, looking amazing in a sexy studded getup. Going with an Egyptian-themed show, Madonna wore a black-and-gold studded Givenchy dress, thigh-high boots, fishnet tights, and her trademark fingerless gloves. No doubt a daring look, but we want to know, did you love it? Check out more photos from her performance last night, then tell us what you think in the comments section below.
