Suri Cruise is world’s most stylish child

Suri Cruise has been named the world’s Most Stylish Child, beating thelikes of Ivy Blue Carter, Harlow Madden and Harper Beckham.

 

The six-year-old girl – daughter of Tom Cruise and his estranged wife Katie Holmes – topped a poll by family-gifting site twistedtwee.co.uk, as organisers were impressed with her stunning wardrobe, which includes lots of dresses and mini high-heels.

Suri – whose wardrobe is rumoured to be worth $2 million – beat Beyonce Knowles and Jay-Z’s baby daughter, Blue Ivy, into second place while Will and Jada Smith’s girl, Willow, came third.

Harlow Madden – daughter of Nicole Richie and Joel Madden – was fourth, and David and Victoria Beckham’s first girl, Harper Seven, was fifth.

Twisted Twee owner Suzi Warren said: ”Aliens and pocket-sized papas haven’t hindered Suri in becoming the world’s most stylish sprog. She was head and tiny shoulders above all over the other celeb children in our poll.

”Although, we were alarmed by how low down Posh’s wee sprog came in our poll. She’s incapable of smiling at the best of times, so we dread to see the look on Victoria’s face when she hears about our nationwide findings.”

Other celebrity offspring to make the list included Max Anthony, Jayden Smith and Coco Arquette.

TOP TEN MOST STYLISH CELEBRITY CHILDREN:

  1. SURI CRUISE
  2. BLUE IVY CARTER
  3. WILLOW SMITH
  4. HARLOW MADDEN
  5. HARPER BECKHAM
  6. MAX ANTHONY
  7.  JAYDEN SMITH
  8. COCO ARQUETTE
  9. ALEPH PORTMAN-MILLEPIED
  10. ASTALA GELDOF-COHEN

Celebrity hair: blonde vs brunette

As Tulisa becomes the latest star to go from brunette to blonde, take a look at other celebrities who have made the switch.
TULISA CONTOSTAVLOS

Tulisa is the latest celebrity to turn from brunette to blonde arriving at the High Court for her sex tape scandal case with a mane of golden curls. Well, gold tinged with orange – the downside of dramatic dye-jobs. Although her hair was overly dark before, we still prefer her as a brunette, she just needs to go for a softer, more golden brown next time.

RIHANNA

Rihanna’s tried nearly every colour of the spectrum on her locks, but after a couple of months of platinum style, she unveiled her newly dark hair to a film premiere just yesterday: a vast improvement on those brassey tones, we say.

JESSICA STAM

Next up on the hair-dying scene, eternally blonde model Jessica Stam has turned to the dark side, and though her pretty face could carry almost anything off, we miss the blue-eyed blonde from before.

CRYSTAL RENN

This model just loves a change. First she goes from plus-size to sample-size, and now she’s ditched her gorgeous shiny black hair for this brassey blonde. A change too far? We think so too.

CHERYL COLE

After public X Factor humiliation and a messy divorce, Cheryl unveiled a new blonde ‘do. Ageing and yellow-y we bet her bosses at L’Oreal were shaking their heads.

AGYNESS DEYN

The cheeky Mancunian model burst onto the scene with her platinum bob and despite dalliances with jet black (and flaming red) she’ll always be a blonde in our eyes.

ABBEY LEE KERSHAW

Much as we loved her girl-next-door mouse, top model Abbey Lee’s bleached blonde tresses suit her rock-chic style.

BEYONCÉ

Any colour in the world wouldn’t taint the Queen of Cool, Beyonce.

VICTORIA BECKHAM

Oh wow… In her WAG glory days VB was a bona fide boob-y blonde, but fast forward a few years and a successful fashion label later, and Beckham’s a leading brunette. Much better.

SCARLETT JOHANSSON

Though Johansson’s pretty face could carry most colours, that Monroe-esque glamour looks that much better topped off with platinum curls.

CAREY MULLIGAN

Blonde? Brunette? Whichever. Everyone’s favourite actress Carey Mulligan can do no wrong in our eyes!

REESE WITHERSPOON

Experiment as she might, Reese Witherspoon will always be the ultimate blonde.

RACHEL McADAMS

Some people just have all the luck: McAdams is a total beauty both ways.

KYLIE MINOGUE

Eek! That dark brown hair is too severe for pint-sized pop princess Kylie Minogue.

KATY PERRY

A very good example of why those with dark hair should reconsider blonde: it’s called green.

CAMERON DIAZ

Though we loved Cameron’s dalliance with dark locks, she’s the ultimate beach babe and should have blonde locks to match.

JESSICA ALBA

Honey-coloured skin and luscious brown hair, Jessica Alba’s dark Latin colouring needs no messing with.

JENNIFER LAWRENCE

‘The Hunger Games’ star dyed her natural blonde locks brown for her turn the film – a move which cost $30,000 – so that she she could get just the right hue of chesnut the first time around.

KATE MOSS

Time might have fooled observers into thinking supermodel Kate Moss is a natural blonde, but that is definitely not the case. Moss embraced her natural hue circa 1999.

SIENNA MILLER

The ultimate blue-eyed blonde, actress Sienna Miller experimented with dark dresses almost 10 years ago. We’re firmly in the blonde is best camp.

CHARLIZE THERON

Hollywood beauty Charlize could probably pull off green hair if she wanted to, but we’re big fans of her beachy-blonde mane.

EVAN RACHEL WOOD

Actress and style chameleon Evan Rachel co-ordinated her dye job to porcelain skin when dark, and warm foundation when blonde. We think her gothic side is the most dramatic.

DREW BARRYMORE

Youthful actress or Hollywood glamazon? Drew’s whole persona changes with a slick of the dye.

Top 10 Bag Trends For Spring/ Summer 2012

Bags are as important as clothing, shoes or any other items of the wardrobe. They reflect your style, show the world who you are and make you look unique. So, it’s essential to be able to choose the piece that is close to you. And it is as important to stay in trend. So, we offer you to get acquainted with our list of TOP 10 Bag Trends for Spring/ Summer 2012 fashion season.

You already know everything about Spring/ Summer 2012 Fashion Trends as well as Color Trends and Shoe Trends. But nothing has been still said about accessories. Today we’ll clear it out. And we’ll start from Bag Trends for Spring/ Summer 2012.

Bag Trend #1: Knitted bags. Just as shoes come knitted in Spring/ Summer 2012 season, so do bags. Knitting looks unusual and stylish but you should be sure you have the right clothing to pair it with.

Bag Trend #2: Large clutches. While clutches are usually small and fancy those designers offer us to carry during Spring/ Summer 2012 are large enough to hold all necessary stuff a woman needs daily. Such clutches come both in neutral colors to be good for office wear and in brighter hues for less formal outfits.

Bag Trend #3: Printed bags. We are normally rather practical and choose bags which are more or less versatile. But designers advise us to be bolder during Spring/ Summer 2012 fashion season and invest into bags which are not ordinary, those which feature interesting patterns.

Bag Trend #4: Foldover bags. Foldover bags have been popular for a couple of seasons already and they will stay in fashion for the entire Spring/ Summer 2012 season. Foldover bags come in a great variety of sizes, colors and prints.

Bag Trend #5: Small shoulder bags. Shoulder bags have always been in vogue. But in Spring/ Summer 2012 only small shoulder bags will be trendy. And despite they are called ‘shoulder’ bags they can as well be carried in hands.

Bag Trend #6: Satchel bags. Satchel bags are very comfortable. They don’t look big but can hold plenty of things. So, they are best for those of us who like to have everything for every occasion just in the bag.

Bag Trend #7: Wristlets. Wristlets, which are perfect for women who often lose things, will be very trendy during Spring/ Summer 2012. They come in a variety of designs and tones.

Bag Trend #8: Totes and weekend bags. Huge bags will not be very popular during Spring/ Summer 2012 fashion season but average-sized totes and weekend bags will. Opt for vibrant hues to stand out of the crowd or neutrals if you want a bag you could accessorize your every look with.

Bag Trend #9:Tiny bags. Women have always loved small bags – they are good for special occasions and look interesting. But are you ready for a bag which is not small but tiny? Whether or not you are, these bags are to be a hit in summer.

Bag Trend #10: Chain handles. Yes, since Chanel first introduced chain handles they have always been popular with fashionistas. The secret is simple: chain handle looks even more luxurious than it really is.

The best cars at Beijing Motor Show 2012

The best cars at Beijing Motor Show 2012

If there’s been a common theme running through recent international motor shows, that theme has been green. Hybrids, electric cars and all manner of innovative efficiency improvements for our old friend the internal combustion engine have packed the stands.

In light of this apparent obsession on the environment that the car industry’s been exhibiting of late, Beijing 2012 has come as quite a surprise. There are plenty of economy-focused offerings, of course, but we’ve also been treated to a series of headline-grabbing cars that major in obscene power, unbridled luxury or both. To be honest, the optimism and extravagance around this Beijing show made a nice change.

Just when you thought that the Range Rover Evoque had dominated all the headlines and won all the awards that it was going to, the marketing men struck again at Beijing. We were treated to this limited-edition model designed with the help of Victoria Beckham.

Only 200 of these opulently specified cars will be built. They’re all based on the Evoque’s three-door coupe bodystyle and the 2.0-litre turbocharged petrol engine. Prices open in the region of €100,000.

The number of high-end car brands that don’t have an SUV on sale or in the pipeline is getting conspicuously small. The latest to take the luxury 4×4 plunge was Lamborghini and it hasn’t held much back with the 600hp Urus. It’s just a concept at present but Lamborghini is planning on selling 3,000 of these monsters a year from 2016.

Here’s one by China’s growing band of home-grown car manufacturers. The Lithia is a sharply styled, all-electric sports car by CH Auto. Do we detect a hint of Audi R8 about those side vents?

This one makes the Lamborghini Urus look sensible. It’s another super-SUV, this time with a twin-turbo V8 delivering over 600hp and a €300,000 price tag. The car is based on Porsche’s Cayenne Turbo but with extensive modifications including one of the most tasteless steering wheels yet conceived by man.

The idea behind the Ghost Six Senses concept from Rolls-Royce is that it employs the highest quality materials to stimulate every sense. It certainly sounds good and the walnut and leather-lined reality must be even better. An upgraded stereo system, a bespoke luggage set and etched champagne flutes come as standard.

The Honda range could use a breath of fresh air and the Concept S looks well-equipped to provide it. The car hints at a new compact car that will be sold in emerging markets around the globe. Power comes from a hybrid system promising strong fuel economy.

Mercedes is hoping to replicate the success of its CLS four-door coupe with a compact car. The CSC concept shown at Beijing points the way to the CLA production car that will challenge sportier versions of Audi’s A3 and BMW’s 1 Series.

The DS range has been successful in rejuvenating Citroen’s brand image and the Numero 9 concept shown at Beijing 2012 suggests that it could soon be getting a luxury flagship model, and a rather handsome one at that. With 21-inch wheels, a glass roof and measuring nearly five metres long, the car has made a big impact on the Citroen stand.

In celebration of Queen Elizabeth II’s Diamond Jubilee this year, Bentley is building 60 of these very special Mulsannes, one for each year she’s spent on the British throne. The cars have a suitably lavish specification including gold-stitched leather and veneered tables with a design depicting the royal carriage on them. There are even some very fetching cushions to make the rear seats cosier.

Power comes from the Mulsanne’s 6.75-litre V8 and prices will certainly top the €275,000 needed for a standard car.

You can bet that the forthcoming Volkswagen Beetle Convertible will look a lot like this E-Bugster concept from Beijing. The electric concept car is a folding roofed version of the E-Bugster first shown at Detroit and shares the sleeker looks through which the Beetle is looking to gain a more up-to-date image.

The high performance Audi RS range is expanding again. This time it’s the Q3 compact SUV that’s getting the treatment and true to form, Audi has gone the whole hog. The car’s got 360hp pumping from a 2.5-litre five-cylinder engine, which is enough to take the car to 62mph in 5.2s. Also featuring are the S-Tronic dual-clutch transmission system and a full RS bodykit.

MG is going places under its new Chinese-owned guise and the Icon showcases that ambition. It’s been conceived as a rival for Nissan’s trend-setting Juke supermini-sized crossover, a car which seems to have influenced the Icon’s designers quite heavily.

A GTS version of the latest Porsche Cayenne was on show at Beijing with a 20hp power advantage over the standard Cayenne S model. The GTS takes a more hardcore approach with ECU remapping designed to give a sharper throttle response, lowered suspension and active dampers as standard.

BMW’s forthcoming range of lightweight i-badged eco cars was plugged again at Beijing by this i8 Spyder concept. Using BMW’s latest EfficientDynamics engine technology and advanced carbonfibre construction, it’s a hybrid sports car with an eco-conscience.

One of the most luxurious cars the British marque has ever built took pride of place on the Jaguar stand at Beijing 2012. The long wheelbase XJ Ultimate is targeted at the international jet set and features fully adjustable rear seats, a champagne chiller and a 15-channel 20-speaker surround sound stereo.

This isn’t the first time we’ve seen Nissan’s ESFlow concept but it’s a fine piece of design that’s worth a second look. Powered by an electric motor, it gives a glimpse of what a future successor to the 370Z coupe might look like.

This is Fiat’s version of the Dodge Dart compact saloon, a car the Italian marque hopes will give it a foothold in the important Chinese market.

One of the most adventurous concept cars at Beijing came courtesy of Chinese manufacturer Chery. The @Ant is actually a road train system which allows cars to connect together to save fuel then decouple at will. The cars communicate with each other to find others that are heading in the same direction then link up to share the workload. Up to ten @Ants can join together in a single train.

Dress Trends For Spring/ Summer 2012

Dresses in Spring/ Summer 2012 collections come in a such a great variety that it seems almost impossible to determine certain trends. However, we took our time and made that work to let you see what is in vogue during the fashion season.

There are few women who can do without a dress in a warm season which explains why designers have created so many wonderful dresses for Spring/ Summer 2012. They come in different lengths, styles and colors providing every woman with an opportunity to find something she likes a lot.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #1: Airy maxi dresses. Maxi dresses are always in vogue but during Spring/ Summer 2012 season it is airy maxis that will be top trendy. Made of chiffon, taffeta, organza and other sheer fabrics maxi dresses come in colorful prints. D&G and Emilio Pucci offer us multilayered dresses with scarf-inspired prints, Just Cavalli and Naeem Khan go for leopard and polka dots while Roccobarocco simply combines contrast colors.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #2: Mini dresses. While some ladies opt for airy maxi dresses others will definitely want to show more of their bodies and trendy mini dresses will help them a lot with this. Paco Rabanne, Balmain and other designers have made a variety of super mini dresses in different colors and designs.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #3: Midi-length dresses. Midi-length dresses are perfect for those who dislike maxi dresses but feel shy or inappropriate to wear mini dresses. Midi dresses look good on women of all ages and can be good for many occasions. In a dress from Giorgio Armani you can visit a red carpet event. Victoria Beckham’s tight-fitting midi will look perfect at a book launch or a store opening and a stylish Etro will make you feel gorgeous everywhere you go.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #4: Glittering dresses. If you want all attention centered at you just go for one of glittering dresses designers provided in plenty for Spring/ Summer 2012. Try a silver or gold dress or find a bolder option in green, red or blue. Elie Saab designed fantastic sequined gowns. Giorgio Armani made a few dresses in color of liquid metal. And Paco Rabanne worked with iridescent hues.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #5: Asymmetrical hemlines. Asymmetrical hemline is a big Spring/ Summer 2012 trend which extends not only to dresses but to various tops and coats, too. Mary Katrantzou made a number of fabulous dresses with trains. Missoni cut hemlines to one side, while majority of designers simply re-invented a mullet dress (which has been a hot Winter 2012 trend).

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #6: Floral-printed dresses. Floral print is very trendy during Spring/ Summer 2012. Delicate and small or large prints look feminine and very beautiful. Every brand from Valentino to Proenza Schouler and of course Anna Sui (who nearly every season uses the print in her collections) have used it. And some, like Iceberg, even combined different floral prints together.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #7: Lace dresses. Lace has been a trend since last spring but it doesn’t lose its popularity in Spring/ Summer 2012. Lace has become more delicate though. Erdem, Preen, Oscar de la Renta, Bebe and other designers and brands used lace in their ranges.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #8: White dresses. Like in every warm season white dresses are among favorites during Spring/ Summer 2012. They come in different fabrics and styles but always look lovely.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #9: Peplums. Just like lace peplums are not new in vogue. They have been with us for a couple of seasons and will stay for Spring/ Summer 2012. Peplums have become bigger and bolder and now come on both casual and evening dresses. Versace peplums are long and flat. Badgley Mischka, Alexander McQueen and Jason Wu made more voluminous peplums. And Rodarte peplums are very puffy.

Spring/ Summer 2012 Dress Trend #10: Frills. Spring/ Summer 2012 collections have many dresses with frills and pleats. While some look neat and classy others are huge and eye-catching.

And of course Spring/ Summer 2012 collections abound with evening dresses which are luxurious and sophisticated, perfect for a red carpet event or an important occasion.

Celebrity Fashion: Celebrities in optical illusion dresses

Everyone from Victoria Beckham to Kim Kardashian has been spotted in an optical illusion dress. Here we look at the best.

Celebrity fashion: Kim Kardashian has some gorgeous curves which are only complimented by this white dress with black detailing.

Celebrity fashion: The white and black optical illusion dress is clearly a favourite of Kim Kardashian’s – and we can see why. Gorge.

Celebrity fashion: We know Kate Moss is a model and everything, but we cannot get over how stunning she looks in this cutaway dress. We’re seriously swooning.

Celebrity fashion: Model Yasmin Le Bon went for the full-length version of Kate Moss’ optical illusion dress. We think it’s just as striking.

Celebrity fashion: Alicia Keys also adopted the simple monochrome look.

Celebrity fashion: Amy Childs launched her Spring/Summer 2012 clothing collection, including this summery pink and black optical illusion dress. We love the bright colour and can picture it with sky-high heels on a night out.

Celebrity fashion: Kate Winslet shows how to work the red carpet in this stunning cream Stella McCartney optical illusion dress. The neutral tones look amazing with her blonde hair and English rose skin.

Celebrity fashion: Kate Winslet has also worn this stunning red and black optical illusion dress. With amazing curves like hers, the look is a winner every time.

Celebrity fashion: Kate Winslet cannot get enough of her Stella McCartney optical illusion dresses. This polka dot number has become iconic.

Celebrity fashion: Gloria Estefan donned the same Stella McCartney dress as Kate Winslet, but teamed hers with a cream bolero.

Celebrity fashion: Victoria Beckahm donned this optical illusion dress way back in 2009. What a trend setter.

Celebrity fashion: Dionne Bromfield told Yahoo! omg! recently that she won’t be dressing provocatively until she’s at least 18. We think her sense of style is perfect.

TOWIE’s Frankie Essex wore this cream optical illusion dress which looked similar to Kate Winslet’s – except without the whopping designer price tag!

Celebrity fashion: We like that Liv Tyler made a move away from monochrome optical illusion dresses, choosing a blue one instead.

Celebrity fashion: A little more subtle than some of the other optical illusion offerings, Penelope Cruz went for this navy blue dress with a velvet section in the middle and black panelling at the sides. It matches her skin tone perfectly.

Celebrity fashion: Following in Penelope Cruz’s footsteps, Louise Redknapp donned the same navy blue optical illusion dress for an event.

Celebrity fashion: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley looked utterly gorgeous in her monochrome optical illusion number.

Celebrity fashion: TOWIE’s Sam Faiers tried out the look on a recent night out. Instead of simple monochrome, Sam went for a pretty printed dress.

Most Stylish Celebrity Mums & Daughters

Zoe Kravitz & Lisa Bonet

A young Lisa Bonet found fame in The Cosby Show; fast forward 18 years, and Zoe Kravitz – her daughter to rocker Lenny – was following in her well-shod footsteps. But the X Men starlet wasn’t always so enamoured with her ultra-hip parents, she has admitted. “I used to be a little embarrassed by how she and my dad would dress, but now I steal their clothes all the time,” she recently told ASOS magazine. “My dad has totally taken my Cat Stevens T-shirt, but it’s OK – I have his Black Flag one, and that’s amazing.” Oh, Zoe.

Georgia May Jagger & Jerry Hall

It was never going to be a huge shock that Texan super Jerry Hall would breed beautiful daughters with Rolling Stone Mick Jagger. First, it was eldest Elizabeth who followed her mum down the catwalk and right now it’s gap-toothed younger sister, Georgia May, stealing the spotlight – indeed, she and Jerry even shot an H&M campaign together last year. “She’s given me a bit of a revival,” Jerry Hall joked at the time about her daughter’s fame.

Zahara Jolie-Pitt & Angelina Jolie

Angelina Jolie famously steers away from the fickle mores of the fashion world, sticking to wearing the few select labels she loves. But there is one girl in her bustling household who can’t get enough: daughter Zahara. Not content with dressing up in Stella McCartney Kids dresses and paying homage to her ultra-chic mum in tailored coats (as right, at LAX), the seven-year-old was recently spotted with cobalt blue braids weaved into her hair. A young Willow Smith in the making, perhaps? Speaking of whom…

Willow Smith & Jada Pinkett-Smith

The ladies in Will Smith’s life are quite the golden girls when it comes to style and success. Not content with topping the charts at a mere nine years old (even if you tell us you haven’t whipped your hair back and forth, we won’t believe you), all eyes are on Willow now as she hops from front row to premiere, leaving grown-ups open-mouthed with her eye-popping outfits and super-confident manner. US fashion designer Derek Lam is a fan, describing Willow as “naturally talented, charismatic, unblemished optimism, with the whole wide world open to her possibilities and abilities,” and professing: “I think she is the future-forward American icon.” Praise indeed.

Harper Seven & Victoria Beckham

After three boys, Victoria Beckham made no secret about how much she was hoping her fourth pregnancy would produce a girl – and a girl she had. Little Harper Seven had an auspicious entrance into the world, attending her first high-profile functions at New York Fashion Week in her first few weeks, and her wardrobe is already coming close to rivalling that of her famous mum’s. “We went in to Prada yesterday and she loved it,” Victoria told reporters in January. “It was as if she was saying, ‘Mummy, I’m home!’”

Amber & Yasmin Le Bon

Amber Le Bon’s modelling career began at the age of 20 months, when mum Yasmin carried her down the Chanel catwalk in her arms. Now an adult, she’s still not tired of hitting the runways with her famous ma – or heeding her words of motherly wisdom, either. “A tip for looking ‘picture perfect’ is probably a smile. I think everyone looks better when they are happy, you give off a glow – or at least that is what my mum would say!”

Suri Cruise & Katie Holmes

“I know I look good when Suri asks if she can have my outfit when she’s older,” Katie Holmes has previously admitted of her high heel-wearing, handbag-toting toddler. “[She] has been choosing her own outfits since she was two. Suri is magical when it comes to clothes – she’s quite an artist!” With a wardrobe that was estimated to be worth £2 million when she was just three years old, it’s little wonder that Suri’s a true fashionista in the making.

Bee Schaffer & Anna Wintour

Being the daughter of the most powerful editor in the world, you’d think that Bee Schaffer would be peachy keen to follow in mum Anna Wintour’s Louboutin-shod footsteps. Not so. “I really don’t want to work in fashion. It’s just not for me,” the 24-year-old Colombia student famously declared in The September Issue. “I respect her, obviously, but it’s just a really weird industry… People in there act like fashion is life. It’s really amusing, but if that’s your career – there are other things out there, seriously. I think I want to be a lawyer.” Still, we’ll never tire of seeing the two in their finest, polishing up the front row.

Tabitha Hodge & Marion Loretta Broderick & Sarah Jessica Parker

Twin cuties Tabitha Hodge and Marion Loretta never fail to cause a stir when out and about with mum Sarah Jessica Parker – despite the actress being candid about the differences between her and her clothes plate alter ego, Carrie Bradshaw. “Bradshaw’s life is nothing – nothing – like mine,” she said in a recent interview with American Vogue. “I loved playing her, and it changed my life in lots of wonderful ways, but I’m not a crazy shoe lady, I don’t think about fashion all day long, although I have a great respect for the industry.” There’s no denying that innate sense of style, however – something we’d be happy to wager is in the genes.

Malia & Michelle Obama

How beautiful is this candid shot of Malia Obama and mumma Michelle Obama? Of course, there’s someone missing from the frame – Malia’s equally stylish older sister, Sacha. The pair have quite the role model in the J.Crew-loving First Lady who admits that, for her, fashion these days is less about fun and more about avoiding blushes: “My day-to-day wardrobe choices are very practical. I’m like, ‘What’s the temperature?’ ‘Am I going to be sitting in the grass?’ ‘Will I be playing with kids?’ ‘Can I sit on the floor?’ If I bend over, I’m worrying about that embarrassing shot.”

Gwyneth Paltrow & Blythe Danner

Before she became a stylish mum, Gwyneth Paltrow was the daughter of one: super-stylish actress Blythe Danner. In an interview with Parade.com last year, Blythe revealed the advice she’d passed on to Gwyn when she became a mother herself. “Only take the projects that mean the most to you, and try to be there as much as you can,” was number one on her list. “You have to balance it. She has a wonderful husband, as I did, and we used to take turns to make sure we used to take turns to make sure that neither of us were both gone at the same time. She’s an extraordinary mom, and I’m proud of her for the great mothering she’s doing.” Plus, Apple’s pretty much genetically guaranteed to be gorgeous – some kids get all the luck.

Lourdes Leon & Madonna

At the tender age of 15, Lourdes Leon already designs her own fashion line and writes a fashion blog – but then, who expected the daughter of the original Material Girl to be an underachiever? Lourdes admits that the duo are always pushing each other to do better, particularly when it comes to clothes. “Everyday, I will be like, ‘Mom, you can’t wear that.’ Or she will be like, ‘Lola, you can’t wear that.’ A lot of the time we don’t listen to each other, but sometimes we do.”

Rumer Willis & Demi Moore

They’ve been going through a tough time of late, but Demi Moore and her aspiring actress daughter Rumer – her eldest to ex-husband Bruce Willis – have an enviably close relationship (not to mention looks that are more akin to sisters, rather than women separated by a generation). Who could forget the moment during the 2009 Golden Globes when Demi pronounced from the stage: “Ru, I’m very proud of you and I love you. And don’t hunch. Shoulders back!” Pure sweetness.

Lila Grace & Kate Moss

Although Kate Moss tends to keep her young daughter Lila Grace out of the public glare, she made an exception last year when the two posed together for a Mario Testino shoot for American Vogue to promote Kate’s latest fragrance, Lilabelle. “Lilabelle is my most personal fragrance yet, inspired by my daughter Lila,” the super said. “It is a really soft and gentle scent yet also a bit daring.” Unsurprisingly, considering her pedigree (papa Jefferson Hack is the editor of too-cool-for-school fashion mag Dazed & Confused), Lila was an absolute natural in front of the lens.

Peaches & Pixie Geldof & Paula Yates

Paula Yates will be forever remembered as an 80s style icon and, although she died while her children were still young, daughters Peaches Honeyblossom and Pixie Geldof have also embraced the world of celebrity, making names for themselves respectively on the London fashion circuit. Earlier this year, Peaches announced that was pregnant to her muso boyfriend Tom Cohen; their baby is due to be born on Paula’s birthday.

Kate & Carole Middleton

With daughter Kate marrying into one of the most prestigious families in the world, the style spotlight invariably fell on mater Carole Middleton, too. There has been much speculation about the length of the glamorous former air hostess’ hemlines but, appropriateness issues aside, there’s no mistaking where Kate gets her fabulous pins from. In her famous pre-wedding interview with her then-husband-to-be, Kate made us all go misty-eyed when she gushed how she’d enjoyed such a happy family life and hoped to replicate that with William. Talk about a fashion fairytale.

Kate Hudson & Goldie Hawn

No list of stylish mums and daughters would be complete without Hollywood bombshells Goldie Hawn and her super-star daughter, Kate Hudson. Ah, super-stardom. How does Kate cope with it? “If I want to draw attention to myself, put on heels and a tight dress and do my hair up, then I can. But I can also tone it down,” she explained in a 2010 interview with the Daily Telegraph. “For me, I’d go crazy if I couldn’t go out and walk in the streets. I learnt some of that from my mum. She is so recognisable. She’s just so Goldie! When I was a girl I would get embarrassed and say: ‘Mum, put a hat on or something.’”

Kaia Gerber & Cindy Crawford

We all know that Cindy Crawford is one of the most beautiful women in the world – so it was something as a shock to hear that her daughter Kaya Gerber’s fledgling modelling career makes her feel a little insecure. “I look at my daughter and I’m like, ‘You have my old skin and I want it back! You have my old legs, I want them back! You have my old hair, I want it back!’ She is just getting more and more beautiful and, you know. But at the same time, there’s so much good that comes with it. And I think if you’re happy in your life, it’s a lot easier to take.” Well, Kaya’s Versace campaign was pretty impressive…

Dree & Mariel Hemingway

GLAMOUR.com girl crush Dree Hemingway has a flawless pedigree: she is the daughter of Academy award-nominated actress Mariel Hemingway (if you haven’t seen Woody Allen’s Manattan, do so immediatey), as well as the niece of model Margaux Hemingway and the great-granddaughter of legendary scribe Ernest. The blonde, blue-eyed beauty has walked the runways for everyone from Givenchy to Chanel – in contrast to her self-professed ‘tomboy’ of a mother, who once revealed that her young life was spent following “dusty trails and boulder-filled avalanche chutes up to the high places”.

Charlotte Gainsbourg & Jane Birkin

When Jane Birkin gave birth to Charlotte, her daughter with legendary French musician Serge Gainsbourg, they were the Victoria Beckham and Harper Seven of their day (as this beautiful vintage shot testifies). The fashion standing of both maybe indisputable but, in true ultra-cool style, the now grown-up Charlotte is non-plussed by it all: “Style for me is a casual way of putting something on. It’s not thought out but needs to suit your way of life. Now I like wearing the same sweater over and over again, then taking it off when it’s smelly.”

Honor Warren & Jessica Alba

Jessica Alba is famous for her street style and her daughter, Honor Warren, is well on her way to following in her mum’s footsteps. The three-year-old favours girly skirts, denim jackets and is rarely seen without a pair of ballet pumps on her feet. Give it time, though, and she’ll be sporting the skinny jeans that Jess so loves, for sure.

Daisy & Pearl Lowe

Daisy Lowe and her mother Pearl have long shared a love of fashion – but they have more in common than just looking uber-stylish. The mother and daughter both designed ranges for troubled high street brand, Peacocks, with Daisy concentrating on swimwear (which she also modelled, natch), and Pearl working on women’s and children’s collection.

Coco Sumner & Trudie Styler

Being the daughter of Trudie Styler and Sting, Coco Sumner was never going to be anything but achingly cool. But, while we lust after her rock chick get-ups, Coco – a singer – says she’s not particularly into fashion. In fact, she has been known to declare: “I hate Fashion Week.” OK, then.

Julia Restoin-Roitfeld & Carine Roitfeld

And so to another Voguette, Julia Restoin-Roitfeld, whose mum is former French Vogue editor Carine Roitfeld. Julia got her taste of the fashion world very young, appearing in a Mario Testino shoot for Vogue Bambini when she was just 10. As you do. Now fully grown up, she has continued into the industry, carving a well-appointed niche for herself both in front of and behind the lens.

Elettra Wiedemann & Isabella Rosselini

With her pixie hair and full lips, Isabella Rosselini epitomised Italian chic in the 80s – and her daughter is busy doing the same in the here and now. Elettra Wiedemann scored her first modelling contract (for Abercrombie & Finch, no less), while still at school, and has starred in Vogue, as well as scoring a season as the face of Salvatore Ferragamo.

Hair Style Face Shape – How to Rock Killer Hair With Any Face Shape

There are several primary shapes that the human face appears in. Each of these shapes works the best with a specific type of hairstyle concept. Whatever style of hair is chosen, it is important to take hair thickness and texture into consideration as well. By utilizing these criteria you will be able to choose the hairstyle that suits youthe best!

High Forehead Hairstyles

There is nothing wrong with having a large forehead. Two excellent hairstyles for this face type include wearing bangs or a short layered look that reaches to roughly chin length. The former choice works the best with hair that is not too thick or curly. The latter style works for anyone with a large forehead. It takes weight off the hair allowing it to have more body. So long is a notable celebrity with this face shape.

hair style face shape

Heart Shaped Face Hair Styles

The heart shaped face is another type of facial structure that works well with bangs. Full bangs are a good look for many people. If the full-length bangs do not work there is always the side swept look, mixed with layers that will fall around the cheeks look amazing as well. A well known celebrity with a heart shaped face is Victoria Beckham.

Heart Shaped Face Hair Styles

Hairstyles for Oval Faces

With an oval face almost any hairstyle may work for you. Avoid wearing high hairstyles. The oval face is best suited to hair that hangs down instead of the upswept look. Rihanna has a very noteworthy oval face.

Hairstyles for oval faces

Pixie Hairstyle

It is quite common for ladies to have small delicate features and are often called “pixies”. It is best to wear a short, sassy, hairdo when you have these features. These styles accentuate the positives as much as possible. Winona Ryder practically pioneered the pixie hair craze in 1997.

Pixie Hairstyle

Hairstyles for Round Faces

This type of face requires the creation of contrast to bring out its true beauty. Go with a layered look that is short in front but long in the back! Avoid full bangs! The key is to open up the face and make it seem to be longer due to the lack of sharp angles. Kirsten Dunst has a noteworthy round face.

Hairstyles for round faces

Hairstyles for Square Faces

Avoid straight cut styles or anything with sharp edges. The key to dealing with a square face is movement. You want to draw the attention of a viewer’s eye to the entire head. A sweeping style with layers adds softness to your look. Jessica Simpson has a beautiful square face.

Square Face Hairstyles

Big Nose Hairstyles

A lot of people have them and few know what to do about them. They key to dealing with an ugly or obvious nose is to draw attention away from it. Avoid any style that places emphasis on the center line of the face, such as a center part. Work to create extra volume around the hair line. A side part will detract from the nose while providing a better view of your other assets. Sarah Jessica Parker has a well known ugly nose.

2012 Oscar Parties

Hollywood’s hottest strut their stuff at this year’s star-studded Oscar parties.

Jennifer Lopez turned heads on the Oscars red carpet in a plunging, silver Zuhair Murad gown, but the diva extraordinaire looked even better at the annual Vanity Fair afterparty in yet another revealing Murad masterpiece. Luckily — at the post-ceremony soiree — J.Lo didn’t suffer a second slip. Her first frock may have showcased a bit too much skin, but her encore ensemble was utter perfection.

Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes — who debuted a new, bang-enhanced ‘do — partied the night away with Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham and her hubby, soccer star/underwear model, David.

Also photographed entering the Vanity Fair fete was former Disney darling, Miley Cyrus, who channeled Old Hollywood in a glamorous Roberto Cavalli gown, chandelier earrings, ruby-red lips, and a classic coif.

No, this isn’t a mugshot. Last year’s Oscar co-host James Franco just looked like a vagrant at the Mercedes-Benz viewing party at Soho House in West Hollywood, CA.

Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio and reality “star” Kourtney Kardashian showed off their growing baby bumps at Elton John’s yearly shindig.

Tennis aces Serena and Venus Williams (both in Christiane King) hung out with fellow sports superstar, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

“SNL’s” Jason Sudeikis was caught canoodling with his lady love, “Tron” hottie Olivia Wilde. That’s one lucky man!

Steve Martin and Martin Short made a Gwyneth Paltrow sandwich, not that she eats sandwiches … or eats anything solid for that matter.

Golden Globe winner Claire Danes (“Homeland”) looked like a delicious snowcone in her strawberry-hued Valentino dress.

Katy Perry — whose tired blue hairdo has got to go — sparkled in Blumarine, while Dita Von Teese shimmered in Jenny Packham.

Michael Douglas and his proud papa, Kirk, arrived in style at the VF festivities.

Kim opted for a gothic look in Alaia. Her sister, Kourtney, went Grecian in a Raoul gown, and both Kardashians nearly disappeared standing next to the super sexy Heidi Klum, who put them both to shame in her Versace mini and Louboutin pumps.

David Furnish and Elton John accessorized with their son, baby Zachary.

Miley clung to her boy toy, Liam Hemsworth, as they sashayed their way into Elton’s event.

What do you make of the strapless white Roberto Cavalli gown “Modern Family” minx Sofia Vergara wore to the Vanity Fair party? Hot or not?

Nina Dobrev (in J. Mendel) and her “Vampire Diaries” co-star/boyfriend Ian Somerhalder (in Armani) easily made for one of the evening’s most stylish couples!

Best Actor winner, Jean Dujardin (“The Artist”), looked sleepy, happy, and quite possibly buzzed next to his new trophy.

Party girls Cameron Diaz (in Victoria Beckham) and Kate Hudson (in vintage Versace) looked like they were having more fun than any other celebs in attendance at the VF fete. Perhaps the open bar had something to do with that.

Comedian Chris Rock caught up with his pal, 85-year-old Oscar winner Sidney Poitier (“Lilies of the Field”), who looked sharp in his tux.

We’re not feeling Katie’s bangs or Natalie’s dress, are you?

We’ll look past Gwen Stefani’s questionable frock (“I’m walking into spiderwebs… “), but we can’t forgive her for the catastrophic coif she sported at the Elton John party.

We’re not sure why or how, but former “High School Musical” hotties Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale somehow landed invites to Elton’s jamboree.

Is the bold color combo Rosario Dawson rocked working for you? We secretly love it.

Do you prefer the Giambattista Valli dress Emma Stone wore to the Oscars, or this one, which was designed by Chanel?

Gerard Bulter put his grubby paws on Jessica Chastain at the Vanity Fair party. She should know better than to mingle with the infamous ladies man.

Joan Collins looks great for 78, and Victoria Beckham looks grumpy for 37.

Brett Ratner was supposed to produce the 84th Academy Awards with Don Mischer, but was asked to step down after delivering disparaging remarks about gays and actress Olivia Munn. Why, then, would swimsuit model Kate Upton hang out with such a fool? Ick.

“Avatar” star Zoe Saldana channeled her inner “Dynasty” vixen in an ’80s-inspired Marios Schwab frock.

Busy Philipps was once again BFF Michelle Williams’ date for the evening. Love this dynamic duo!

“Transformers” star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley snuggled up to her man, action hero Jason Statham, at the bar.

Amy Adams looked terrified of Tim Tebow … and he looked either sunburned, embarrassed, or sauced.

Elizabeth Banks’ dress, designed by Chadwick Bell, was one of our absolute favorites. Thoughts?

Salma Hayek’s YSL dress was nothing to write home about. Her braid, however, was quite cute.

Elizabeth Olsen kept things relatively simple in an all-black ensemble from Christian Dior.

Also spotted in all-black was “Once Upon a Time” star Ginnifer Goodwin, who donned this fashion-forward getup.

Would you want to party with Miley and Kelly Osbourne?

Or, would you prefer to party with Zach Galifianakis, Rachael Harris, and Cheryl

“Modern Family’s” Julie Bowen got photobombed by Leslie Mann upon arriving at the VF party.

Bradley Cooper’s ‘stache … yay or nay?

Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller took advantage of the complimentary photo booth.

Ladies Night, featuring: Amy Adams, Jennifer Westfeldt, Claire Danes, and Paula Patton!

Natalie Portman and baby daddy Benjamin Millepied must have found a sitter for little Aleph, who was born back in June.

We didn’t think it was possible, but Shailene Woodley (“The Descendants”) looked even worse at the Vanity Fair party than she did on the Oscars red carpet.

From the neck up, Tina Fey looked better than ever thanks to a chic updo, but her Carolina Herrera gown was a bit baggy.

Do you think Tom instructs Katie to tilt her head in every picture in order for him to seem less petite?

Kate Beckinsale has never failed us … until last night in this seaweed-covered eyesore.

Gwyneth actually looked good next to Jane Fonda, whose dress was clearly inspired by the Ice Capades.

“Parks and Recreation” star Rashida Jones looked yummy in yellow. Mustard is one of this season’s hottest trends.

Cam changed into a Popsicle-hued Victoria Beckham-designed gown for the party circuit. Discuss!

Brooklyn Decker partied at Elton John’s soiree sans hubby, tennis star Andy Roddick, who was prepping for a tournament.

LOVE Patricia Clarkson. HATE her dress and shoe combo. So much.

Diane Kruger (“Inglourious Basterds”) vamped it up in a slinky red gown and high pony.

Chace Crawford could really use a new haircut. His suit, however, looked mighty fine.

Mary Steenburgen does not age! Her hubby, Ted Danson, does.

“227″ alum Regina King delivered some fierceness as she made her way into the star-studded Vanity Fair fete.

Can we all just agree that Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt are kinda the coolest couple in Hollywood? Because they are.

“Glee’s” Dianna Agron opted for a beachy, sun-kissed look for the Elton party, and it suited her well.

Agron’s co-stars, Ashley Fink and Chris Colfer, posed for this hilarious “candid” when photographers decided to invade their conversation.

Rachael Harris — who also looked lovely on the purple carpet at Saturday’s Independent Spirit Awards — delivered a second consecutive win, this time in vintage Lanvin.

Fran Drescher accessorized with her furry little friend, Pomeranian Ester.

Rachel Zoe looked alarmingly thin in a white maxi dress and faux fur wrap.

Abbie Cornish oozed elegance in a simple yet chic sheath and diamond accents.

Kate Bosworth usually looks like a hot mess on the red carpet, but we actually approve of this Prabal Gurung dress. Do you?

Rose McGowan flaunted her fab frame in a Paule Ka gown and unseen Sergio Rossi heels at Elton’s bash.

Yep, I’m showcasing the Williams sisters again. Why? Because I love them, and they had fun dressing in bold gowns, unlike so many of Hollywood’s uptight elitists.

Tiiiiiiiiiiiin roof, rusted.

What was Mena Suvari thinking?! It looks like she slathered herself in glue and rolled around in a pile of shredded Kleenex.

Minnie Driver reigned supreme in a champagne-colored gown and diamond baubles. Call us crazy, but we think she was one of the best-dressed beauties of the entire evening.

Emily Watson was all smiles upon arriving at the annual VF party in a black frock, curly ‘do, and layered necklaces.

Paz Vega outdressed Petra Nemcova at the Elton party. In fact, Vega outdressed nearly everyone who stepped foot in that fete.

Felicity Jones — who was robbed of an Oscar nom for her work in “Like Crazy” — dressed to impress in a fashionable Johanna Johnson dress and minimal makeup.

New York City’s Spring 2012 Fashion Week

Neon
Peter Som
The color-blocking trend gets a fun, fresh facelift with Peter Som’s latest collection of high-voltage neons against ’60s-style silhouettes.

Neon
Jason Wu
We’d love to see First Lady Michelle Obama rock this hot yellow number, a sharp twist from the designer who’s known for offering a timeless, highly refined red carpet look. This season, he took inspiration from a graffiti artist, and the added edge is one of his boldest moves yet.

Neon
Rag & Bone
Electric hues are nothing new to David Neville and Marcus Wainwright, but the bright turquoises and oranges popped in some seriously exciting combinations on the runway.

Neon
Rodarte
Sisters Kate and Laura Mulleavy were inspired by Vincent van Gogh with this season’s color palette, and although we see evidence of the the post-impressionist painter’s brush strokes, we don’t recall him using anything quite as shocking as this lime green ruched top and pencil skirt in, say, Starry Night.

Neon
Ruffian
It was hard to know just where to look when this look came down the runway. The shock of yellow against the blue and green skirt was graphic color blocking at its most extreme.
Neon
Nanette Lepore
If there was any question about neon being the upcoming color family of choice, Nanette Lepore’s collection quieted all queries. From the ultraviolet lipstick to the brighter-than-brightly crafted handbags, every look was truly spellblinding.
Art Deco Graphics

Lacoste
In his first showing for the brand, Felipe Oliveira Baptista played with lines and even made us try to follow the maze of this chic shift dress.
Art Deco Graphics

Carolina Herrera
When she wasn’t affixing adorable sparrow prints to dresses, Carolina Herrera was playing with geometry. We love how the black, taupe, and white graphics on this knit top evoke the Chrysler Building!
Art Deco Graphics

Alexander Wang
Some of his dresses had a literal stadium seating chart as the focal print, but we much preferred this more abstract-yet-linear take. The corners and edges made a baggy top feel sharp and tailored.
Art Deco Graphics

Milly
Michelle Smith offered up a lesson in geometry with her latest collection for the brand. The vibrant linear prints and clean shapes — not to mention the adorable retro neck scarf — made us more than happy for the crash course.
Pajamas

ADAM
Going to sleep never looked so stylish as it does in Adam Lippes’ show, where PJ-style pants and tops reigned. This look’s polka-dot (another trend that has legs through at least another few seasons) print did the trick, too.
Pajamas

Richard Chai Love
Although Richard Chai played up pajama dressing this go-around, there was nothing overly slouchy about these silk rose printed pants.
Pajamas

Luca Luca
Raul Melgoza demonstrated a more relaxed mood on this season’s runway, but even his loungewear-inspired looks — teal-and-blue striped pants under a robe blazer with a matching knotted headscarf — still showed off his focus on expert tailoring.
Pajamas

Betsey Johnson
Sure, not many of the looks on the cartwheeling designer’s runway are really appropriate outside the bedroom, this burlesque-inspired floral onesie is one we’d love to wear exclusively when hitting the sheets.
Athletic Chic

Alexander Wang
Sure, most of Alexander Wang’s collections are all about tough, urban street wear, but this one really honed in on the motocross moment in particular. Aside from actual motorcycle helmets and laser-cut mesh layering, this body-con tracksuit made us all want to hit the gym in style.
Athletic Chic

Marc by Marc Jacobs
You can’t get much sportier than with this look from Marc Jacob’s more affordable collection. Although all the moving pieces on their own aren’t especially remarkable, when they come together, it’s street chic at its finest. And those shoes! We love a good pair of color-blocked kicks.
Athletic Chic

Victoria Beckham
Posh Spice has gone a wee bit sportier with her first official runway show. All about utility, the most noticeable embellishment were the sturdy nylon straps fastened with durable D-rings.
Athletic Chic

Rag & Bone
There’s something intriguing about the dangling straps from this mullet skirt — short in front and long in back — and we suspect that there’s some hidden utility to change the fabric’s height. Either way, having it paired with an ultra-white crisp tee makes it all the more striking.
Athletic Chic

Nicole Miller
Nicole Miller toughened up the also-emerging neon trend with hyperactive prints and loads of neoprene that evoked a real skater-girl vibe, which was happily exactly what the designer was going for.
Diaphanous Whites

Kimberly Ovitz
The up-and-coming designer’s latest collection was predominantly a medley of ethereal whites — all loosely pieced together and draped.
Diaphanous Whites

Doo.Ri
Doo-Ri Chang is above all a master draper, and with this look, she managed to offer the structure of a crisp white button-down with the unexpected flow of a pseudo-sarong.
Diaphanous Whites

Yigal Azrouël
Mostly prim and proper with this long-sleeved, floor-length white shirt-dress, the designer shows off a hint of sex appeal with an above-the-knee slit.
Diaphanous Whites

The Row
Despite the primarily white palette, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen snuck in barely-there mint with this mix of separates that seem to float through the air.
Diaphanous Whites

Band of Outsiders
This floor-dusting tiered frock — with its chic pastoral feel — from Scott Sternberg’s womenswear collection exuded a sweet softness.
Graphic Florals

Prabal Gurung
Floral prints are rapidly becoming a trend this season — but not just any floral. With a little digital manipulation, Prabal Gurung takes a Magic Eye approach to pretty petals and turns them into something out of a sci-fi fantasy. So complex and fascinating you can get lost in them for hours.
Graphic Florals

Cynthia Rowley
There were no shrinking violets at Rowley’s spring show. What might otherwise be an overly girly (Lisa Frank-inspired, perhaps?) flower pattern, got an edgy twist when juxtaposed against metallic gold and black leather.
Graphic Florals

Altuzarra
Joseph Altuzarra has gone Hawaiian with his street wear this season. Although he offered up the print in a head-to-toe vest-and-pants ensemble, we much prefer the floral panel on an edgy leather LWD.
Graphic Florals

Lela Rose
We love the juxtaposition of oversized neon flowers with the smoky, blackened backdrop of this skirt, so it’s no wonder we found out the designer was inspired by a visit to a Las Vegas graveyard for old neon signs.
Crop Tops

Preen
Ladies better hit the gym this season! It’s all about the abs for some designers, including Preen’s Thea Bregazzi and Justin Thornton, who strutted this midriff-baring black-and-white floral top down the runway.
Crop Tops

Ohne Titel
Flora Gill and Alexa Adams know how to exude sex appeal with just a hint of skin. This striped and cropped sweater has a sophisticated, asymmetrical feel.
Crop Tops

Proenza Schouler
Don’t let the long sleeves and bodysuit fool you. Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez have created quite the conservative crop with this number. Plus, they are about to have a new it-bag on their hands with this old-school camera-bag-inspired purse. We can see it on Tavi Gevinson and Julia Frakes already.
Crop Tops

Oscar de la Renta
Who knew crop tops could sub in for chic evening wear? Even if it wasn’t exposing some serious stomach, the loosely crocheted silver-thread sweater at Oscar’s show revealed skin all on its own.
Black on Yellow

Monique Lhuillier
Almost more difficult than red and green with Christmas, it’s nearly impossible to put these two colors together and not make the model look like a giant bumble bee. And yet the evening gown maker adds black lace to a cadmium yellow dress effortlessly.
Black on Yellow

Nicole Miller
Anyone looking for added edge most definitely found it in spades with this Nicole Miller scuba dress, which had black leather cut-outs affixed atop bright yellow trim.
Black on Yellow

Derek Lam
This more subtle take on the color combination is at once vibrant and conservative. Perfect for day to night!
Black on Yellow

Yigal Azrouël
Yigal Azrouël combines black and yellow in a series of darling georgette prints, like this top tucked into the hottest of black hot pants.
Black on Yellow

Carolina Herrera
The designer attempted this color combination with a few looks from her latest collection, but the most noticeable pairing was this embroidered sheer overlay with a simple yellow dress.
Black on Yellow

Oscar de la Renta
The very first look on the OdlR runway was pretty much a showstopper: a mustard yellow silk taffeta ball gown topped with a sheer black floral lace top.
Polka Dots

Suno
For a refreshing take on a classic trend, Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty showed off a painterly style of black-on-white polka dots in their very first runway show.
Polka Dots

ADAM
It’s not just the ultra-femme silhouette of this frock we love, but the playful spots that are at once classic and youthful. Perfectly refreshing!
Polka Dots

Luca Luca
For a more adult take on dots, Raul Melgoza created a top with a cascading effect of multicolored jewel-tone spots.
Polka Dots

Tory Burch
There’s something very Chanel about this three-dimensional take on spotted prints at Tory Burch’s first runway show after nearly a decade of presentations.
Tangerine

Vivienne Tam
With most runway shows and presentations debuting one acid hue after another, the deep red-orange of Vivienne Tam’s chic pantsuit is a top option for those who still want to add a little color to their wardrobe.
Tangerine

Charlotte Ronson
Up until the final handful of looks, the young designer stuck to a quiet color scheme with her collection. But the last four looks all burst forward — from a mere ombré effect to full-on saturation — with striking pops of orange.
Tangerine

Jill Stuart
Palm trees were a definite, if not literal, inspiration of Jill Stuart’s latest collection, and it got play in this sweet coral-and-cream dress.
Tangerine

Christian Siriano
The Project Runway alum’s flair for drama was in full force, but we tend to prefer his more understated — if you can even call it that! — pairings of T-shirts and skirts. The one exception? The palette behind this striped-top-and-tulle-skirt number.
Tangerine

Jenny Packham
Even with the thigh-high slit, we can totally see Kate Middleton — the Duchess of Cambridge is an avid fan of the London-based designer — rocking this beautifully draped one-shoulder gown to a benefit with her Prince Charming.
Peplum Accents

Vera Wang
The designer was all about peplums this season, but if her clientele isn’t interested, not to worry: They’re detachable. Still, their swirling, psychedelic prints give the perfect pop to all-white ensembles. Perhaps they’ll bring new life to some of Vera’s wedding gowns!
Peplum Accents

Thakoon
The amazingly out-there hair of the model’s at Thakoon’s runway show almost stole the show away from this edgy look, which combines the feminine frills of a peplum top with the masculine touch of bermuda shorts.
Peplum Accents

Jason Wu
Jason Wu’s fabric choice for this pink peplum skirt was impeccable. Watching it sashay with every step turned it into an instant must-have.
Peplum Accents

Cushnie et Ochs
A fashion show that played off a very literal housewives theme (there was a white picket fence at the start of the runway!) ended up delivering looks that anyone — desperate or not — would want. Case in point: This leather peplum jacket and cigarette pants.

2 Hot 2 Handle

Charlize Theron, Serena Williams, and Victoria Beckham rock the red carpet.

No wonder Charlize Theron hasn’t been single in 17 years! The star of the upcoming flick “Young Adult” rocked the red carpet at the Gotham Independent Film Awards in a black-and-white 1920s-inspired Gucci creation, and wisely swept back her hair in a headband, which allowed her to showcase her best accessory — her gorgeous face. Charlize completed the sexy look with a gold necklace, gold sandals, and a hot Alexander McQueen clutch. (11/28/2011)

Also looking stunning at the Gotham Independent Film Awards was Elizabeth Olsen, who donned a beautiful embroidered Valentino gown and soft curls for the occasion. Fortunately, Elizabeth doesn’t always turn to her big sisters Ashley and Mary-Kate for style advice! (11/28/2011)

Angie Harmon sparkled from head to toe at the 2011 UNICEF Snowflake Ball in Manhattan in a plunging Jean Fares Couture gown. Hard to believe the “Rizzoli & Isles” star is a mom of three! (11/29/2011)

After making headlines for hitting her nephew’s birthday party sans makeup and in super-casual clothing last week, a pregnant Jessica Simpson got all glammed up Tuesday night. The singer/designer showed off her growing baby bump in this tight red mini-dress and mauve pumps at the the 25th Annual Footwear News Achievement Awards at NYC’s Museum of Modern Art. (11/29/2011)

Pro tennis player Serena Williams also rocked red — and her fab figure — at the same event, donning a figure-hugging frock and gold peep-toes. All that tennis does a body good!(11/29/2011)

Country cutie Taylor Swift also opted to wear a festive scarlet strapless dress — along with her signature red lips — while being honored at the CMT Artist of the Year celebration in Nashville, Tennessee. (11/29/2011)

Across the pond, Victoria Beckham struck a fierce pose in a black pleated halter gown of her own design at the British Fashion Awards, where she was named the Designer Brand of the Year. (11/28/2011)

Kate Hudson — who gave birth to son Bingham almost five months ago — was also in attendance at the event looking slender and stunning in a black velvet one-shoulder dress featuring a mesh panel from Stella McCartney’s spring 2012 collection. (11/28/2011)

Olivia Palermo, former star of “The City,” also scored an invite to the stylish soiree. While we don’t believe her booties were necessarily the best choice for her ensemble, we adore Olivia’s feathery, beaded Matthew Williamson mini. (11/28/2011)

If you’ve got it, flaunt it! And that’s exactly what British actress Kate Beckinsale did when she donned this super short, lace-adorned Tadashi Shoji number to a Film Independent Spirit Awards nominations press conference in West Hollywood, California, on Tuesday. Super-high Brian Atwood nude pumps made the lovely lady look even leggier.

She might be turning 51 this week, but Julianne Moore still looked red hot as she arrived at the Americans for Marriage Equality event at the Calvin Klein store in New York City on Monday night. Fittingly, the “Crazy, Stupid, Love” star donned a Calvin Klein ensemble — an above-the-knee gold dress and plush cream coat — and left her signature red dresses down to complete her sexy look. (11/28/2011)

When you get paid to model underwear, chances are you’re usually going to look pretty good no matter what you wear! That was the case when Victoria’s Secret Angel Miranda Kerr helped relaunch the lingerie designer’s South Coast Plaza location in Costa Mesa, California, on Tuesday. The 28-year-old Aussie’s one-shoulder Emanuel Ungaro dress with an up-to-there slit proved why she’s worthy of her well-paid job!

We haven’t seen much of actress Gillian Anderson lately, but we liked what we saw when the former “X-Files” star hit the red carpet at InStyle magazine’s 10th Anniversary party in London last week. The 43-year-old rocked a belted, floor-length vintage Christian Dior gown and some seriously silver platform heels. Her side-swept ponytail and dangling earrings gave her ensemble some extra drama. (11/22/2011)

    Leopard Print Fashion 2011

    One of 2011 fashion trends is said to be wild, and of course we will think about the leopard print fashion on the street. As a matter of fact, we can see leopard print fashion anytime, anywhere and I even think the leopard print will never be outdated.

    No matter it is a simple scarf, a dress, a miniskirt, a shorts, or boots, what we can’t neglected is the leopard print. The leopard print clothes and scarf and handbag will display in fashion shows in London, New York, Milan and Paris and red carpet of award ceremonies and news conferences.

    2011 fashion trends, britney spears in leopard print fashion

    Many superstars seem to be fascinated with Leopard print fashion, for example, Victoria Beckham and Kate Moss. We have seen them wore leopard print fashion more than once and we have to admit that they really looks glamorous.

    Why women love leopard print fashion? In my opinion, there are several reasons and I will list them as follows:

    Paris Hilton with leopard print clothes and handbag

    First, leopard print is one way to show women’s inner world. Wild animals especially panthers are hot, open, sexy and feral. This “feral” has different meaning from bite and fierce, and it means aggressive. Men usually like women who are sexy and wild.

    2011 fashion trends , Victoria Beckham wears leopard print fashion

    Women like plush fabrics such as animal furs but it is cruel to wear real animal fur and skins. Since the leopard print clothing has the same effect as animal furs, why not choose a way to be nice to nature?

    Scarlett Johansson wore leopard print dress on Milan Fashion Week

    In fact, leopard print clothing will never be out of fashion. In modern society, people tends to like the retro fashion and leopard print clothing is the best choice of retro, even many years later, this style will still be retro and chic.

    Celebrities Wore Short Skirts

    Diane Kruger

    Thank you, Dolce & Gabbana, for helping to show off this former model’s gorgeous legs—but another inch or two added to the hem would make this piece look more like a proper dress!

    Eva Longoria Parker

    Dayum, ELP, we’ve seen swimsuits that have more leg coverage than this!

    Ellen Pompeo

    Insert joke about being thisclose to seeing the Grey’s star’s anatomy here.

    Lindsay Lohan

    How many times do we have to repeat this: Tights are not pants, ladies!

    Milla Jovovich

    It’s slouchy, sparkly and cute, but we hope the next incarnation of the Resident Evil: Afterlife star’s gold tunic involves pants.

    Mischa Barton

    Top half: mumsy granny style. Bottom half: All bare skin. If outfits could be bipolar, this would be it.

    Britney Spears

    Whoever told her this shirt could be pulled off as a dress, lied.

    Cameron Diaz

    Sweaterdress or just a sweater? This sparkly V-neck is so short it’s too hard to tell. (Cam’s gams do look awesome, though.)

    Jada Pinkett Smith

    Stomping the BET Awards red carpet in this black-and-white onesie is wrong on so many levels.

    Ke$ha

    The singer sports a leopard leotard, patched leather jacket and boot combo at Fashion Week. But where are the biker bottoms or—at the very least—some chaps?

    Jamie-Lynn Sigler

    Why is the former Sopranos star wearing her sleep shirt to a fashion collection launch party in NYC? Talk about a faux pas!

    Kate Walsh

    The Private Practice star’s shirtdress is way more shirt than dress.

    Whitney Port

    A big white dinner jacket obscuring barely there tap pants…How many different explanations can you come up with for this reality star’s funky getup?

    Victoria Beckham

    Even Posh is aware her clothes are too short—check out that tug.

    Kate Hudson

    Ugg boots with a teeny-weeny floral slip?! It’s pretty sad when Kate’s lack of pants actually isn’t her biggest problem.

    Mariah Carey

    A few more inches added to the hemline and this could’ve been a dress (not a great one, but a dress nonetheless). So close, Mimi!

    Mel B

    She’s no longer a Spice Girl, but she’s definitely still scaring people.

    Ginnifer Goodwin

    This is all you’ve got, Ginny, a trench coat? We’d suggest putting on some pants before any more people mistake you for a flasher.

    Taylor Momsen

    It doesn’t matter that the sides of this sad sack give a little extra coverage—it’s still way too short where it counts most. Put on some pants, sweetie, or you’re grounded.

    Solange Knowles

    Feathered details are fun, but what this tank really needs is an extra few inches of fabric at the bottom.

    Jessica Simpson

    The teeny-weeny, printed tunic is adorable, but it looks like Jess forgot a bottom to go with it. Chalk this up as another blunder for the fashion-challenged singer.

    Rihanna

    The grey sweater looks cozy, but even this noted fashion rebel and all-around badass looks odd going out in just a top. May we suggest moving the fringe from the shoulders to the bottom hem for more coverage?

    Vanessa Hudgens

    Look, V, we know your gladiator platforms are, like, supercute, but c’mon, going out in this getup is not the classiest way to show ‘em off.

    Christina Aguilera

    Xtina shows off her wild side in a cheetah-print onesie, sparking a thousand more comparisons to Lady Gaga in the process.

    Lindsay Lohan

    Remember when LiLo had that little problem where the police found cocaine in pants she claimed were not hers? Well, the starlet figured out how to avoid that issue entirely.

    Lady Gaga

    We’re not the biggest fans of her wacky pantless style, but the chanteuse practically owns this look, complete with the ‘tude to carry it off.

    Blake Lively

    Gotta wonder how many times people kindly whispered to Blake, “Sweetie, did you forget something tonight?” Because opaque tights, though they cover up the skin, do not equate to pants or any other kind of acceptable bottoms.

    Shenae Grimes

    A plaid button-up, floral-patterned hosiery, no pants and slouchy thigh-high boots. Four wrongs make…one huge mess! (Which is too bad, because the 90210 star’s got potential.)

    Lily Allen

    So the “Smile” singer isn’t wearing a bottom (remember, tights don’t count), but the strategically placed Chanel purse is really cute, right?

    Pamela Anderson

    The mother of two is a repeat offender when it comes to going out pantless. Could this be a sign of a midlife crisis for the former Baywatch babe?

    Katy Perry

    Poor Katy. Little does the singer know, all eyes are on her not because what she’s saying onstage is so captivating but because she forgot to wear the matching slacks to her D&G blazer. Oops!

    Lisa Rinna

    The fortysomething TV host’s bod is still smokin’. But one wrong move in this way-too-mini minidress and she could easily flash her lady parts, and that’s not something anyone wants to see, no matter how fit she is.
