Celeb Style: Rachel McAdams Wears the Perfect Spring Cocktail Dress For The Vow Premiere

Hannah Weil — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 08:35:16 PST

If you have a wedding or cocktail party coming up this Spring, look to Rachel McAdams's chic look at the premiere of The Vow for inspiration. The actress zeroed in on the pretty-cum-sexy vibe, opting for a curve-conscious Vivienne Westwood dress, but in a soft pastel hue. There's also a cool contrast to her evening style - Rachel toughened up her cocktail frock with Pomellato diamond and gold chain statement jewels, then finished on a softer note with a pair of nude Louboutin pumps and a delicate lace-trimmed clutch in hand. Love the look? Shop our key pieces to channel the same sweet-meets-sultry style - complete with the perfect red lip.

American Music Awards: Katy Perry

BellaSugar — Sun, 20 Nov 2011 17:32:18 PST

Katy Perry's not afraid of a little drama, and her Vivienne Westwood floor-length gown, blue heels, and geometrical fascinator made for a whole lot of look. She added crimson lips and winged eyeliner, which made her lilac hair look even brighter. This isn't Katy's first quirky red-carpet look, although it's quite a bit more fabric than we're used to seeing. Do you love her sense of whimsy here, or is she taking the fun a little too far for you? Vote on all of our American Music Awards polls here!

15 Pieces to Channel Fall's Anglo Trend Like a Prep-School Pro

Hannah Weil — Wed, 19 Oct 2011 03:30:20 PDT

Given the obsession with the royals, it seems only fitting that our latest fashion fixation also comes from across the pond, though this time around the style we're seeking is more prep-school punk than Princess Catherine. We never hit the books at Eton, but we're answering Fall's call to Anglo charm with boarding-school basics, like rugby stripes and tasseled loafers. To make your part as prep-school rebel a little more convincing, we've thrown in a few edgier pieces - think McQueen's tartan plaid mini, studded leather cuffs, and distressed tweed jackets to counter the more traditional garb. Just click through to shop all the key pieces.

Vivienne Westwood's Spring 2012 Runway

FabSugar — Sun, 18 Sep 2011 08:43:03 PDT

Vivienne Westwood is one designer that never shies away from something bold. For Spring 2012, Westwood showed off the female form with sophisticated tailoring, eye-catching metallics, and off-the-shoulder necklines. She balanced out the feminine frocks with ultra-tomboy separates, including a head-to-toe checked suit, pin stripe shorts, and newsboy hats. And of course, it wouldn't be a Vivienne Westwood show without dramatic make-up and hair - from waist-grazing locks, to shimmery green eye shadow, daring beauty dominated the runway. Watch the entire show here!

Queen of Punk: Vivienne Westwood Shoe Exhibition Beirut 2011

OnSugar — Mon, 23 May 2011 11:18:31 PDT

OnSugar blogger Black by Sara was lucky enough to check out Vivienne Westwood's shoe exhibition in Beirut. Check out all of the cool footwear, plus an interview below!

After forty years in the fashion business, a unique designer such as Vivienne Westwood deserves a museum dedicated to her beloved shoe collections. We all have witnessed her adventures in tailoring that have taken us back to historical places; such as the 17^th and 18^th century French era. As the sole originator of punk style in the fashion industry, Vivienne Westwood has managed to connect the art world to her fantasy style island. To document the evolution of her footwear collections a private collector has decided to exhibit these exceptional pieces around the world. For two years these shoes will be traveling to specific locations due to their market requirements and will be displayed at various museums and palaces such as the famous Sursock Palace in Beirut. Luckily, the Lebanese media and I were one of the few that got invited for the first look at this marvelous collection.

The notorious Gillie Platform that was worn by Naomi Campbell

I’m still in awe with Westwood’s capacity and her approach towards fashion. The collections dates back to 1973, which means that a lot of us didn’t get to enjoy these beauties. Now it’s our chance to admire Dame Westwood’s defiance of high heel rules with elevation and historical design footwear.

Battle of the Pretty Princesses: Eugenie vs. Beatrice

Brittney Stephens — Fri, 29 Apr 2011 04:14:59 PDT

Princess Eugenie of York and Princess Beatrice of York arrived at Westminster Abbey wearing two gorgeous outfits - a bright blue, floral-printed dress by Vivienne Westwood and a nude A-line dress from Valentino Couture, respectively. Princess Eugenie went for a colorful look, wearing a bold blue dress with a voluminous skirt, flowered jacket, and peacock-feathered hat. She accessorized with bronze pumps and a matching box clutch. Princess Beatrice, on the other hand, opted for a subdued, neutral look - she wore a dusty-pink, A-line belted coat with nude t-strap heels and a very amazing, very Lady Gaga-esque fascinator. Which princess do you think looked the prettiest?
