Look of the Day: Fringe and Leather
A hint of fringe and leather goes a long way. I'm digging the instant edge it lends to Bellakoko's florals — cross-body fringe is a no-fail way to add flair. Plus, she tops with aviators — making the whole thing oh-so young Hollywood.
Trend Alert: Berry-Stained Leather
Congratulations red leather and relatives, you are officially noncheesy anymore. Berry-stained leather, as exhibited by the ravenous Rachel Weisz in Spain, is utterly appetizing. Of course, a lot depends on the accompaniments.
Celeb Style: Angelina Jolie
Angelina got in major sexy mode last night at the Inglourious Basterds premiere in LA. Despite the fact that she stuck to her signature color, black, she knocked it out of the ballpark with her strapless leather Michael Kors dress. If you recall, Angelina's stylist Jen Rade once told me she puts the actress in black because it allows her strong features to shine.
Girls on Film: Catherine McNeil, Vogue Germany, Aug. '09
If you look up the term femme fatale — the inspiration for this Vogue Germany spread — it says "an alluring and seductive woman whose charms ensnare her lovers in bonds of irresistible desire, often leading them into compromising, dangerous, and deadly situations." Catherine McNeil is it. She's the epitome of it — womanly, rebellious, sexual, and capable of making men moan.
Celebrity Style: Emma Watson
Girl is on a roll! Emma showed up in yet another hot look at the New York Harry Potter premiere. We've been there done that with leather skirts, but a leather halter contrasted with a ladylike ivory skirt and cinched with a contrasting belt is fresh.
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy Goes Antianimal, Hermes Goes Pro
Carla Bruni-Sarkozy has the pick of the litter when it comes to wearing sumptuous designer creations but her selection might be a little more limited now that she's vowed to be more animal friendly. "I do not wear, buy, or own fur or animal skin other than leather or skin of animals raised for feeding purposes. I am not a vegetarian and I don't find it illogical to wear skins of animals whose meat is also eaten."
Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair Zippered Gloves: Love It or Hate It?
Leather and zippers usually go together like peanut butter and jelly but there's something to be said about these Fifth Avenue Shoe Repair Zippered Gloves ($215). Is it just me or do they remind you of dish-washing gloves? This is a classic case of good intention, bad execution.
Look of the Day: When Leather Met Satin
One day leather met satin. They came from two separate worlds, but had some serious chemistry. Leather toughened up satin, while satin softened up leather.
