‘Teen Choice 2012′ Red Carpet

Posted on by

Taylor Swift stunned the crowed upon arrival at the 2012 Teen choice Awards in a short, white Maria Lucia Hoan dress with a cutout back that showed off her mile-long gams. The 22-year-old songstress wore her hair swept up in a chic updo and accessorized the romantic frock with Lorraine Schwartz jewels, a sparkly Edie Parker clutch, and nude peep-toe heels. There’s no denying that the country cutie looked sweet and sexy in the backless dress, but we can’t help but think it’s a drawback that she’s always wearing white to awards shows. Along with presenting, Taylor is nominated for five awards this year : Choice Voice for “The Lorax,” Choice Female Artist, Choice Single by a Female Artist for “Eyes Open,” Choice Female Country Artist, and Choice Country Song for “Sparks Fly.”

 

Rebecca Black, who became a huge Internet star after her “Friday” music video became a viral hit, arrived on the Teen Choice Awards pink carpet in an orange and white geometric-print blouse and a short, black leather skirt with zippered pockets. The outfit looked youthful on the 15-year-old YouTube sensation, but her top completely clashed with her partially-pink hairstyle. Black is just one of many starlets to try the dip-dyed pink hair trend; including Demi Lovato (the host of this year’s show), Lauren Conrad, and Nicole Richie.

6 Tips to Look Sexy When It’s Cold Out

Posted on by

Invest in a Party Coat

Don’t throw a giant parka or puffer over a pretty cocktail dress; instead, cover up with an equally chic trench (to avoid a fashion faux-pas, make sure the coat’s hem is longer than your dress’s).

Balance Out Big Volume

Mega loop scarves are so in right now. Offset their bulkiness with a fitted jacket and skinny pants.

Flaunt Your Bod in a Slim Vest

On milder days, a long, thin leather vest worn over a matching turtleneck is a trendy alternative to a jacket. And it hugs your curves in the right places.

Give Your Legs a Foxy Makeover

Break up with shapeless snow boots — they make your lower half look stumpy. Unless you’re in a blizzard, a tall leather pair that elongates your legs is way more flattering.

Accentuate Your Waist

To show off your hourglass — even in a thick winter coat — cinch your midsection with a fun skinny belt.

Add a Rocker Accent

Get in on this red-hot cold-weather craze: fingerless gloves. Their edgy, naughty vibe kicks any mitten’s ass.

    Shop Her Closet

    Posted on by

    Kirsten Dunst attended the 2011 Toronto Film Festival Premiere of her new movie “Melancholia” yesterday.

    The blonde actress chose to combine a look with pieces from Prada and Chanel.

    She paired a navy and white polka-dot printed V-neck Prada blouse with a long pleated Chanel cream skirt.

    Kirsten accessorized her look with strappy, silver embellished heels, a black clutch with gold trim detail and an elegant pair of floral-shaped earrings, which provided a pop of colour with a turquoise jewel center.

    I like how Kirsten’s pieces work together to create a sophisticated but classic ensemble.  She complemented her look with a sleek half-up, half-down hairstyle and pretty light pink lip-gloss.

    Rachel Bilson attended The CW Launch Party held at the Warner Bros. Studios in Burbank, California this week.

    The ‘Hart Of Dixie’ actress wore an Erin Fetherston Resort 2012 dress.

    Her pretty blush pink ruffled strapless dress was also worn with a cropped black Vanessa Bruno blazer.

    Rachel accessorized her look with an emerald green Edie Parker glitter clutch and silk blush-toned Giuseppe Zanotti platform heels.

    She completed her girly look with a chic up-do and light, pretty makeup.

    The look feels a lot more chic with the blazer don’t you think?

    Alexa Chung was spinning the decks at Stella McCartney’s Fashion’s Night Out event at the designer’s store in New York City this week.

    The model and TV presenter chose a Stella McCartney Resort 2012 dress.

    Her white dress which is adorned with cute black bows was teamed with Jimmy Choo ‘Wheel’ silver glitter flats.

    Alexa finished her look with her trademark cat eye makeup and wore her hair in a casual ponytail.

    It’s a more feminine look than what we’re used to on Alexa and I’m thankful she didn’t wear grubby boots for a refreshing change.

    A similar version of this dress was recently spotted on Andrea Riseborough.

    Rachel Bilson celebrated Fashion’s Night Out at Sunglass Hut in The Beverly Center, LA.

    The actress, who is Style Director at Sunglass Hut, chose a typically perfect ensemble pairing a Vanessa Bruno white maxi skirt and cropped black blazer with an A.L.C semi-sheer tank.

    She accessorized with a Luv AJ headband and Chloé wedges.

    This is such a pretty, feminine look and Rachel completed it with slick straight hair and light, pretty makeup.

    Kylie Minogue was photographed arriving at an office in London on Wednesday.

    The petite singer wore a black YSL dress with a Karl Lagerfeld-esqe white collar and cuffs.

    Her silver button down dress was accessorized with black pumps and tan oversized sunglasses.

    A casual ponytail and pretty makeup completed her formal street style look.

    Marion Cotillard made her first television appearance since having a baby on ‘Late Night With Jimmy Fallon’ last night.

    The new mum, who was there to promote her movie “Contagion,” glowed in a one-shouldered teal Lanvin draped cocktail dress.

    She accessorized with only a pair of T-strap peep-toe heels adorned with a cute bow and a thin bracelet.

    I think the dress looks incredible but I do feel some earrings would have taken this ensemble up a notch. It feels a little too bare without any.

    An up-do and perfectly flawless makeup completed her gorgeous look.

    Kate Mara attended the premiere of “Tanner Hall” in LA last night to show her support for sister Rooney Mara, who stars in the movie.

    The actress chose a simple red wool crepe Prada Fall 2011 short sleeve dress.

    She added to her look Prada Fall 2011 accessories, including a rust-coloured lurex button-detail clutch and a sexy pair of Prada Cammeo python heels.

    Kate wore her fiery locks down in pretty curls and opted for lightly rimmed eyes and coral lips.

    It’s a simple but classic look and I love how her accessories complement her hair.
