Monday Mashup: MET Madness

By Kirsten|May 3rd, 2011|Monday Mashup, Red Carpet Recap|

The gorgeous and well groomed came out to strut their stuff down the red carpet for the MET Ball this evening. Where most red carpets are a bit of a bore, the Costume Gala always proves to be more interesting seeing as it is thrown by the fashion elite (you don’t see Anna Wintour at the Grammy’s). Each year, the gala is themed and this year was “Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty.” Talk about one hell of a week for McQueen creative director, Sarah Burton. A royal wedding followed by the year’s biggest fashion fete.

Above Tory Burch and Taylor Swift (in J. Mendel) slipped into their red carpet best and while both look absolutely beautiful (thanks for ditching that side swept ‘do, Taylor!) they look uncomfortably similar. These dresses look like they could have been cut from the same cloth (oh yes, pun intended).

Tory and Taylor weren’t the only lookalikes this evening. Quite a few starlets, and style icons were seen wearing similar get ups.

Ginnifer Goodwin in custom Top Shop, Barbara Walters

Too easy.

Rosie Huntington Whiteley in Burberry, Brooklyn Decker in Michael Kors

Two blonde supermodels, one color. I love Rosie Huntington Whitely. She’s absolutely beautiful and I do love Brooklyn’s dress. I just wish they could have swapped outfits.

Kate Hudson in Stella McCartney, Jessica Alba in Ralph Lauren Collection

No, this is not season 4 of Teen Mom Goes to Prom. These are just two very pregnant actresses dressed in prom gowns for the gala.

Dakota Fanning in Valentino, Fergie in Marchesa

Speaking of teens… why is Fergie dressed in the same outfit as seventeen year old Dakota Fanning (who is very much age appropriately dressed)?

Sarah Jessica Parker in Alexander McQueen, Renee Zellweger in Carolina Herrera, Gwyneth Paltrow in Stella McCartney

Seems that slinky metallics were all the rage for the over 40 set. I can’t help but think these dresses look awfully similar to Anne Hathaway at the Golden Globes…

Freida Pinto in Chanel, Janelle Monae, Anna Dello Russo in Alexander McQueen and egg hat

Three perfect examples of why women should stick to womenswear and stay away from menswear.

Chrissy Teigen in Chris March, Beyonce in Emilio Pucci, Lucy Liu in Vionnet, Christina Hendricks in Carolina Herrera, Demi Moore in Prabal Gurung, Kirsten Dunst in Chanel

These six sexy black widows actually all ended up on my worst dressed list… just mere coincidence that they’re all in black. Preparing for their fashion funeral perhaps?

Gisele Bunchden in Alexander McQueen, Dianna Agron in Michael Kors, Saorise Ronan in Rodarte, Kristen Stewart in Proenza Schouler, Emily Browning in Marc Jacobs

I’ve organized these ladies in red from “red hot” to “red not even kind of a little bit. uh uh.”

Diane Kruger in Jason Wu, Christina Ricci in Zac Posen, Bar Rafaeli, Ashley Greene in Donna Karan, Lily Aldridge in Ralph Lauren Collection, Leelee Sobieski in Vionnet

These six stunners got their red carpet looks right. They are each wearing one of the above trends or themes that were so popular at this year’s MET, but they got it right rather than oh so wrong. These beauties were able to separate themselves from the savages.

Why Did You Wear That: Celebrity Weekend Style

By Kirsten|November 22nd, 2010|Celebrity Style|

Woops… I guess that’s the sign of a good weekend. Here’s this week’s top five best dressed ladies off duty… meaning, not a stylist in sight.

Here’s Charlize Theron doing some shopping in NYC, looking totally cute and casual.
Ashlee Simpson Wentz is one hot mama. Sporting a slouchy sweater, leather leggings, and some vintage Chanel earrings, you’d never know she’s popped out a little one.
Kirsten Dunst looks effortlessly chic in her shades, shift, and sweater in Los Angeles.
Megan Fox has paired masculine and feminine with ease. Men’s trousers have never looked so sexy.
Rumer Willis shows you how flats are supposed to be done. She looks very Audrey Hepburn in this simple yet chic outfit.

Good work ladies. You make looking casual seem so easy.

Why Did You Wear That: In the Buff

By Kirsten|May 25th, 2010|Personal Style, Why Did You Wear That?|

2000_Bring_It_On_101

Ever had one of those dreams where you are just wandering around totally naked and wake up in complete panic a la Kiki Dunst in Bring It On?

Well, I’m about to make those dreams come true… in a good way. If you recall, I was wild about the amount of nudes and neutrals that flooded the spring runways. Now that the heat is here and you’ve established your base tan (with use of a good self tanner, I hope!), it’s your turn to test out this trend. When working with a blank palette, you can perk things up by accessorizing with punches of color whether it be showcasing a stunning pair of shoes or killer jewelry.

I’ve again done my due dilligence by digging up some of the sexiest ways to wear this season’s most naked trend:

PREEN_BANDDRESSNUDE_MAIN Preen Nude Band Dress, $360

ever Ever Catania Dress, $178

haute

Haute Hippie Love Tank Dress, $95

topshop

Top Shop One Shoulder Ruched Dress, $90

bebe

Bebe Cotton Eyelet Strapless Dress, $44.95

serve.asp American Apparel Cotton Spandex Jersey Double U-neck Dress, $36

Someone who did this trend early and knocked it out of the park was Kate Bosworth:

And how I wore mine (pretty ballsy to post myself after Kate, I know):

(for the record, my shoes were pretty sexual – though you cannot see them in this pic- and they may or may not have incoropated feathers).

As always, undergarments are essential. You don’t want your hot pink Hanky Panky’s peeking through seeing as the whole point is to be neutral. Now, strip down.

Why Did You Wear That: Shoot for the Stars…

By Kirsten|March 6th, 2009|Why Did You Wear That?|

Alpinestars, that is.

Alpinestars was originally started over 40 years ago (1963 to be exact) making motorcycle gear for serious riders, but has now evolved into the rocker chick’s new bff and go to brand. Designer Denise Focil has created edgy basics and key item pieces that every hip girl needs in her closet.

The line is a collection of sexy, slouchy tops, vintage T’s, skinny denim, and, of course, leather motorcycle jackets. Already, the line has a serious celebrity following too (Kirsten Dunst, Blake Lively, Whitney Port, Taylor Momsen, Audrina Patridge). Be warned, this is not a line designed with wallflowers in mind.
