The Glee Girls Hit the Red Carpet in a Fun Mix of Spring Styles - Who's Most Fab?

Marisa Tom — Wed, 02 May 2012 08:58:22 PDT

The leading ladies of Glee - Lea Michele, Jenna Ushkowitz, Jayma Mays, Naya Rivera, and Heather Morris - all stepped out last night for an episode screening at the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. While their characters have unique style personas (cheerleader uniforms, schoolgirl separates, and rocker-chick wares) onscreen, it's also fun to see how these actresses dress for the red carpet. Lea opted for a sweet Jenni Kayne LWD and metallic Giambattista Valli sandals, Jenna Ushkowitz played up her sleek side in a sheer-infused Helmut Lang blazer, Jayma wore a bright Dolce & Gabbana floral minidress, Naya Rivera looked chic in a white-top-and-black-skirt combo, and Heather Morris showed off her eclectic taste in a high-low corset dress and cutout wedges. It was a playful mix of more sophisticated ensembles juxtaposed against bolder, more daring accents. Now, it's your turn: which cute Glee star deserves best-dressed honors?

Jil Sander Fall 2012

Hannah Weil — Sat, 25 Feb 2012 09:55:50 PST

Raf Simons bowed out at Jil Sander with a soft pastel palette and minimalist silhouettes for Fall 2012. His finale - a modest showing of femininity in truly modern proportion - was met with a standing ovation. The trick was subtlety in both color play and the measure of each silhouette - colors were rich, but soft; cutouts were sexy, but never overt. There was grace and balance in every look. We're treated to evening wear in sporty-cum-sexy corsetted cocktail dresses, with a flash of patent that feels fresh and ladylike, never offensive; while tops are cut with lingerie-inspired, body-conscious detailing that's all at once provocative and elegant. The collection as a whole walks that line between innovation and restraint: a flash of metallics, an oversize powder pink coat. Each piece works in perfect balance delivering, above all, wearability. Jil Sander has some big shoes to fill when she returns to take the helm next season.

Trends: Minimalist, pastels, metallics, jumpsuits, corsetted bodices, cutouts.
Colors: Soft pink and blue, red, camel, nude, navy, white, and silver.
Key Piece: The cutout jumpsuit that's sophisticated and just sexy enough.
Accessories: Ankle-strap pointed-toe pumps, colored handheld clutch, and sophisticated leather satchels.
Who Would Wear It: Girls like Kate Bosworth, Zoe Saldana, Kerry Washington; the femme with modern edge.

Now that we've had time to take in all of the red-carpet moments from last night's Golden Globes red carpet, it's time to take note of the top trend takeaways and the A-list celebs who wore them. We spotted a sea of fishtail hems, a bevy of corset-inspired bodices, an army of sequin embellishments, a fiery flash of crimsons and merlot hues, and a whole lot of nude and blush-tone gowns. Look to siren Sofia Vergara's navy Vera Wang creation for a lesson in conquering the flirty, flared hem; emulate Charlize Theron's understated sex appeal in her blush Dior Couture gown; or channel a sultrier silhouette via Emma Stone's two-tone Lanvin dress. It's all about showing off your figure and playing up your best features by way of sparkly details, body-conscious cuts, and flattering color palettes.

How to Execute Jena Malone's Perfect Midi-Skirt Style

Hannah Weil — Mon, 16 May 2011 13:40:23 PDT

When we spotted Jena Malone out this weekend, we thought to ourselves, this is how you wear a midi skirt. The actress's spot on combination of a fitted, almost corset style top, midi skirt, and platforms is practically a no-fail formula for how to wear one of this season's hottest hemlines - the midi skirt. This is why it works:

The fitted bodice style top flatters your frame and defines your waist, while the full calf-length skirt floats away from the body and balances your top half.
It mimics natural feminine curves, and on a boyish frame helps to define and create those curves where the structured top meets the defined waistline of the skirt. You don't want to add bulk to your top half with a billowy blouse or one that covers your waist.
The length is generally an easy one to pull off, exposing the thinnest part of the leg. Adding a platform or wedge helps to elongate your legs and make you appear taller, which is key to executing this style. Especially if you're on the shorter side you'll want to avoid pairing the midi skirt with flats.

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012

Hannah Weil — Sun, 02 Oct 2011 09:00:59 PDT

True to form, Gaultier delivered trench coats, sharp suiting, and far sexier fare for Spring 2012. The collection showcased his signature craft in structured, pinstriped suits, then gave way to a sultrier side as models hit the runway with perfectly '40-inspired victory curls - and their look numbers in hand. Evening wear in elegant body-conscious jersey dresses, some draped, some with waist-defining corsets, and still, others with embroidered tops, and leg-baring slits brought femininity in the most mature sense. The statement is somewhat dramatic, especially when you consider Gaultier's tattooed body stockings and piercings, but the dressing is easy and subtly seductive.

Trends: ladylike, boudoir, menswear, corsets, leg-revealing slits.
Colors: black, white, soft green and blue, orange, nude, kelly green, and floral print.
Key Piece: Karlie Kloss in a pinstripe short suit.
Accessories: chokers and statement necklaces; embellished and cutout booties, high-heel Mary Janes, tattoo-print body stockings.
Who Would Wear It: Sexy, avant-garde types; Dita Von Teese and Gwen Stefani.

Scarlett Johansson Goes From Day to Night With Dolce & Gabbana

Katie Henry — Mon, 26 Sep 2011 02:10:00 PDT

Milan fashion week got a boost of Hollywood star power when Scarlett Johansson watched Dolce & Gabbana Spring show yesterday. Scarlett, who is the face of Dolce & Gabbana's cosmetics collection, arrived in a beautiful lace gown and later changed into a black corseted cocktail dress for dinner at Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana's namesake Italian restaurant. The trip overseas may come as a welcome break from Scarlett's naked picture phone hacking drama back in the states as well as the latest rumor of romance with Justin Timberlake. Even so, Scarlett is at the top of her game professionally. Production on The Avengers just wrapped, and we recently got the first look at We Bought a Zoo, out Dec. 23, in which she stars opposite the ever-endearing Matt Damon.

Versace Spring 2012

Chi Diem Chau — Fri, 23 Sep 2011 17:09:34 PDT

While most designers went tribal for Spring '12, Donatella Versace ventured under the sea. It was a leg-bearing collection as models sauntered down the runway - complete with big blowouts and dangerously high lucite heels - in an array of starfish, seashell, and seahorse printed short sets and minidresses. Sexy indeed, and when skin wasn't showing down below, Versace paired fitted pencil skirts with belly-baring bandeau and corset tops. Pastel hues dominated the collection, but black did make an appearance in the way of cocktail-ready dresses. The rest of the eveningwear portion provided red carpet attire options with studded one-shoulder dresses and high-slit maxi-length gowns. The bottom line? Get ready to hit the gym for Spring. More details from the collection below.

Trends: Bandeau tops, short suit sets, pencil skirts, sea-life prints, high slits, minidresses.
Colors: White, black, pastel yellow, blue, purple, and green.
Key Look: We loved all of the sexy short sets.
Accessories: Lucite heels, studded clutches, stacked bracelets.
Who Would Wear It: Girls who loves standout partywear like Rihanna and Beyonce.

Vera Wang Spring 2012

FabSugar — Tue, 13 Sep 2011 11:44:40 PDT

With an eclectic front-row crowd that included Kim Kardashian, former Secretary of State Madeleine Albright, Serena Williams, and a dramatic last-minute arrival by Beyoncé, the Vera Wang Spring 2012 show already had a buzz going by the time the first ethereal white look strode down the runway. It was a collection inspired by Alice in Wonderland - Tim Burton's version, no doubt - that mixed Vera's skill for soft feminine touches with an edge; chiffon dresses had drawstrings, floral prints seemed to morph into something totally trippy and neon-hued, and the skirts were cut away to reveal the models' long legs clad in gladiator heels. Some of the more fanciful looks included a yellow corset with peplum boy shorts and techno cotton eyelet cropped vests layered over corsets. We remain most entranced, however, by the first series of white looks, as the play between transparency and tailoring, between softness and edge, seemed most natural and truly channeled that Alice in Wonderland magic. This can be no coincidence considering Wang's reign as one of the world's top bridal designers.

Trends: Sporty, sheer dresses, boy shorts, hooded vests.

Colors: White, psychedelic prints, gray, indigo, purple.

Key Look: The first series of white dresses that had Vogue Editor Grace Coddington pointing and whispering rather excitedly from the front row.

Accessories: Gladiator platform heels from Vera Wang Lavender line.

Who Would Wear It: We could see Beyoncé using one of the corset/vest combos for a music video; red-carpet risk takers like Tilda Swinton would look amazing in the white chiffon dresses.
