How to Look Sexy and Modern? Try some well-placed slits like Eva Green in Alexander McQueen

Eva Green an AW11 black split sleeve dress and Pre AW11 leopard print peep toe shoes by Alexander McQueen to the ‘The Rum Diary’ London
I'll Have What She's Having: Streamlined and bold slits in just the right places There's something about actress Eva Green's smart sexiness that reminds us of  the raw style of Italian actresses back in the 1950's via Veneto days. It's a control over non-fussiness and an emphasis on dynamic sex appeal and sultriness, best mastered in sleek, non revealing lines. Case in point: Eva's on trend, but not trendy, double-slit & slit sleeve Alexander McQueen LBD from AW11. Oh, and those luscious leopard print peep toe shoes also by Alexander McQueen.  WATCH: How to Accessorize a LBD and more LBD posts Smoldering liner and red lips keep the look graphic, clean and bold We saw the sexy open back slit on Amber

Kim Kardashian’s divorce news, is it the beginning of the end on celebrity products?

Kardashian Kollection at Sears
In the wake of Kim Kardashian's divorce announcement and her pr-powered mega wedding event, one has to wonder how her divorce will impact the way consumers see her brand. Could this possibly be the beginning of the end on fashion and beauty products built on celebrity brand power? Let's think celebrity products-  does it really ever work? Paris Hilton, Lindsay Lohan, Sarah Jessica Parker, Jessica Simpson , The Kardashians, Jennifer Lopez, The Olsens, and The Housewives franchise... love their products or leave them?

While we admire that the only glimpse of skin was saved for

Celebrity Style Bust- Rihanna, the girl of too many things but one good Givenchy Antigona bag

I'll Have What She's Having (from the waist up): Rihanna manages to ruin a few very good pieces with some dang tacky tights and a girdle for a dress. There, I said it!

Available at Barney's Rihanna was sporting some super chic fashion elements on her 3AM return to her hotel after her concert in Paris. There's the well-proportioned floppy fedora (unlike that over-sized Kim Kardashian monstrosity), the covetable cropped jacket, and the to-die-for Givenchy by Riccardo Tisci “Antigona” bag... all in classic black.
