Trend Report: Awesome Eyeliner at the Grammys

Miriam Lacey — Sun, 12 Feb 2012 21:26:04 PST

Looks like we're in for another awards season sprinkled with pretty retro looks. At the Grammys this time around, tons of beautiful women showed up with vintage-style winged eyeliner. It was on everyone: Adele had perfect late '60s wings, Katy Perry wore her pinup girl look, and Nicki Minaj took things to extremes. Even Lady Gaga was wearing winged eyeliner underneath her mask. Winged eyeliner is so flattering that its ubiquity is no surprise on the red carpet. Why wouldn't you wear something that spells instant sex appeal? Now if the rest of us could only get makeup artists to come along and help us with the liquid liner, we could all be wearing it, too.

SAG Awards Trend Alert: Headband Braids

BellaSugar — Sun, 29 Jan 2012 18:30:37 PST

Headband braids are always popular, but they dominated the hairstyles at the 2012 SAG Awards. Glee star Dianna Agron chose a messy fishtail version of the look that only came three-quarters of the way across her forehead, making for the most fashion-forward braid of the evening. The award for most romantic take on the braid goes to The Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco, who wore a thick plait accentuated by lots of free tendrils that gave the style an old-fashioned feel. And the most subtle headband braid at the SAGs was probably Extra host Renee Bargh's minibraid, which actually did look more like a headband than any of the others. It's all just further proof that complex braids are here to stay.

People's Choice Awards Trend Alert: Pretty as a Peach

BellaSugar — Wed, 11 Jan 2012 20:25:16 PST

Orange is the color of 2012, and the starlets at the People's Choice Awards certainly seemed cognizant of it. Peach was everywhere - on lips nails, cheeks, and quite a few dresses, too. Demi Lovato, in fact, wore the color head to toe, and Lea Michele, Miley Cyrus, Emma Stone, and Jennifer Lawrence all had peach lip or nail accents as well. Spring is only a few weeks ahead, so we wouldn't be surprised to see the shade become a dominant color on the red carpet all the way through May.

Celebs Show Off Fall's Flared Jeans Trend - Shop the Look!

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 07 Oct 2011 09:36:57 PDT

We love our denim skinnies just as much as any other girl, but Fall's flared jeans trend is calling our name. The flattering silhouette has been sprouting up everywhere on the runways - from designers like Derek Lam and Adam Lippes - to the streets, as seen on celebrities like Katie Holmes and Zoe Saldana, reminding us of the sweet '70s and the cool clothes that come with it. Whether you decide to go casual a la Katie with a tee and cardi combo, or opt for a more bohemian look like Zoe in her MiH jeans, there are key styling tips to getting this look just so. First tip: always pair your flares with heels for maximum legginess; we especially love them with chunky heels. Shop our favorite flared jeans and the styling tips that come with it in the slideshow.

Trendspotting: The Duffle

Hannah Weil — Thu, 06 Oct 2011 04:00:21 PDT

If you're looking to invest in a worthy Fall accessory, look no further than the duffle bag. As this trio of style-setting blondes proves, the arm candy exudes both fashion and function - and we love when those worlds collide in one lust-worthy creation. Kirsten Dunst and Kate Moss each opt for luxe, leather versions from Louis Vuitton, in their own respectively sophisticated hues, while Sienna Miller selects a covetable carryall from Burberry Prorsum's 2012 Resort. Each signals a polished finish for day-to-day basics, and seems particularly perfect in rich leather and deep colors for Fall. To channel the same classic-cum-cool style with your own luxe duffle, just shop our editor's picks.

Trend Alert: '70s-Style, Bowl-Cut Bangs

Jaime Richards — Fri, 26 Aug 2011 04:10:00 PDT

A few years back, it seemed that bowl haircuts were about to make a comeback. And while the trend never seemed to take off, perhaps bowl cut-style bangs are the next best thing. Recently, Three's Company, Chrissy Snow-type fringe has been seen on the likes of Mary J. Blige, Jennifer Love Hewitt, and Mena Suvari. Shorter and straight in middle and longer on the ends, call the look a blunt bang/bowl bang hybrid, if you will. But most importantly, will you be knocking on the door of this trend?

Why You Should Go For the Gold . . . Polish, That Is

Jaime Richards — Wed, 03 Aug 2011 10:55:00 PDT

Red may be a classic nail polish shade, but as Katie Holmes proved during her appearance on The Tonight Show yesterday evening, gold is a pretty decent alternative. Not only can the metallic wear as a neutral, but because of its lustrous finish, it instantly dresses up the nails. It's also versatile enough to go with an urban style of skinny jeans and fringed boots to something a bit more elegant, like a cocktail dress. You can even use different textures and hues of the color to create two trendy styles: the ombré manicure or the one-nail-painted-a-different-shade look. Shop the widget below for a variety of dazzling gold polish options.

Trend Alert: Oversize Clamshells

Julia Walsh — Tue, 05 Jul 2011 03:00:00 PDT

One of my favorite trends lately is the oversize clamshell. It's beachy but not kitschy, and its scale makes it a statement piece. It's no surprise I've been seeing them in the most sophisticated of homes. If you find one on the beach, you've practically stumbled upon a pot of gold, but you can find authentic shells in antique shops and flea markets. Otherwise, you'll be happy to know that reproductions are popping up in a few convenient and affordable national retailers. Let's take a look at some of the beautiful and creative ways interior designers are using oversize clamshells in interiors.
