Leighton Meester's body is smokin', but by no means curvalicious. So why am I using her as a poster child for curves? Because in her BCBG dress, she proves that you don't need major curves to look womanly. Here, her body looks more hourglass-like than usual, thanks to the dramatic racerback bodice of her LBD. Notice how the straps sit closer in, away from her shoulders, and how the sides Read more
This Summer, mix up your shorts-and-skirts style MO with an easy, breezy maxi dress. Because of its long length and versatility in shape (halterneck, shirtdress, one-shouldered, racerback, and so on), we really can't think of any reasons not to keep these frocks in warm-weather-wardrobe high demand. For daytime, go for bohemian in a chiffon floral-print maxi or opt for a sportier jersey version, Read more
Continuing her enviable streak of wearing head-to-toe Givenchy looks, Liv Tyler donned yet another iteration of the French designer's wares. This time, in a black deconstructed reverse racer-back tank dress, complete with sexy front leg slit. Liv styled the floor-length gown with minimalist-chic black sandals, a stack of diamond-encrusted Fred Leighton bracelets, and leaf-shaped earrings. It Read more
With a nod to both sportier and sexier sensibilities, the runways from Phillip Lim, Rag & Bone, Proenza Schouler, and more showcased flashes of skin with their racerback silhouettes.

Now we've curated a collection of 20 favorites — dresses that feel as Read more
Spring's all-white trend can seem like a daunting style risk, but in reality, all you need are the right pieces to re-create the same crisp looks we saw on the runways. We spotted Lauren Conrad — check out her new hot pink hair tips — in a prime example at her book signing in LA wearing a sweet two-piece ensemble. Notice how she paired a white tweed full-skirted miniskirt with a semi-sheer Read more
Victoria's Secret model Miranda Kerr and singer Miley Cyrus recently stepped into the studio (yoga and Pilates, respectively) wearing basic black yoga leggings (like these Zobha Hi-rise foldover leggings, $84), dressed up two ways. Whether your workout style is laid-back polished or look-at-me bohemian, get both looks below. Read more
Designers have been sticking to a more neutral palette for Winter but not Diane von Furstenberg and Yvan Mispelaere. Showing to a celebrity-filled crowd at Lincoln Center — we spotted Solange, Molly Sims, Coco Rocha, and Barbara Walters in the crowd — the duo filled the runway with gorgeous color combos in every jewel tone imaginable.

If the Fall runway collections from Rag & Bone, 3.1 Phillip Lim, and Jil Sander are any indication, now is the time to invest in all things sporty — think body-conscious racerback tanks; slouchy, relaxed outerwear; and cool, graphic colorblock prints. We can also look to celebrities to glean some inspiration on the trend: Solange Knowles put a louche spin on the trend by pairing a Read more
