GOLDEN GLOBES FASHION- Loving the Minimalist Chic of Rooney Mara and Claire Danes

Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci
Rooney Mara in Nina Ricci Golden Globes Fashion Red Carpet Review: As the celebrities make their way through red carpet arrivals, it's clear the minimalist looks are the most stunning. It's easy to make a frothy dress look glam. Pile on the fabric, cinch in the waist, add some glimmer and the princess is good to go. But when it comes to sophisticated chic, a well-cut dress with strong lines is stunning beyond compare without wearing the wearer. Rooney Mara in perfect black Nina Ricci that she described to E! as being "comfortable and simple" is one of the most spectacular looks on the  red carpet that we've seen in a while. Well, except for the last time Rooney was on the

Celebrity Beauty- Amber Heard Updates Hollywood Glamour in Jean Paul Gaultier and Bright Pink Lipstick

I'll Have What She's Having: The right dose of color and simplicity Even though the tired term 'Old Hollywood Glamour' opens the door to a snotty case of pungent remarks for us, it does however come to mind every so often when we spot an actress bringing it to us completely updated. Case in point was Amber Heard at the New York premiere for ‘The Rum Diary’ at the Museum of Modern Art wearing Jean Paul Gaultier. What worked was the surprising elegance of seeing a striking beauty covered head-to-toe in a pleated however figure defining black maxi dress that was simple in detail minus when she turned to reveal an open slit back. While we admire that the only glimpse of skin was saved for

Gwen Stefani Knows How To Wear a Bow and Make It Edgy, Well Armani Helps

I'll Have What She's Having: Two Big Bows and NOT look like you escaped from a prom! Ok, I must confess, bows on grown-up women can really wreck my style nerves. It's not that I don't like a good bow here and there, it's that many women have a tendency to make them look too sweet and juvenile and end up looking ridiculous. But when worn right, a few well-placed bows on a dress can look positively stunning. Case in point: The Giorgio Armani white and black gown that Gwen Stefani worn on the red carpet for the premiere of Paolo Sorrentino's "This Must Be the Place," at the Cannes Film Festival. >> READ MORE: Armani brand Granted, it's an

Milla Jovovich Knows How to Wear Beige With a Pop of Color and Major Bling

I'll Have What She's Having: Vibrant red & some Jacob & Co. bling Beige, nude, taupe, and all those "new neutrals" are hotter than hot this season, but let's face it, they can wash you out. Runway after runway, model after model-- particularly at New York Fashion Week- all worked the Spring / Summer beige trend. But to be honest, after the third day of shows, it all morphed into one big beige blob for me. Close-up of Mila's bling from the Jacob & Co. Red Carpet Collection While beiges can be very soft and pretty, sometimes a few major accents that play off its neutrality are what it takes to turn a blah to wow. I love Milla Jovovich

Golden Globes Fashion- Somewhere between the prom dresses and bridal wannabes were some very pretty gowns

Red Carpet Review: If you edit through the mass appeal, there are some very strong fashion looks The Broadway garmentos must be rubbing their palms together in a cash cow frenzy because I have never seen so many dresses befitting of a prom or a wedding for them to knock off at one event!

Helena Bonham Carter beats to her own drum in Vivienne Westwood and jewelry by Anina Vogel Note #2 to all: When you wear a white gown,

Forget Worst Dress, Miley Cyrus Wears the Stupidest Dress We’ve Seen In a While

Mr. Blackwell must be turning over on this one! Miley Cyrus in her TP inspired number We really hate to mean because she is still young and have to admit that in some odd way this outfit is better than a pole dancer's getup. So let's just think of this as a fashion courtesy. Afterall, shouldn't friends tell friends when they have toilet paper stuck to them? At last night's AMA Awards, Miley Cyrus walked the red carpet in what appeared to look like a mega roll of toilet paper that gathered up in her undies and unrolled itself into a infiniteless train down the the red carpet. We understand that it is the American Music Awards and Miley probably

Red Carpet Hairstyles- Emmy’s Up Do Makes Up For Fashion Downers

Anna Paquin wearing Alexander McQueen & uber glamourous updo hairstyle stole the show! Sorry, we'd be lying to say that the Emmy's was a mega fashion extravaganza. A few minutes post event and we cannnot remember who wore what. With one very gorgeous exception... Heidi Klum with her updo at the Emmy's Anna Pacquin in a fantastical, yet chic, Alexander McQueen black gown with a heavily embellished gold bodice stole the show hands down. To be fair, there were a few other dresses that probably looked lovely in person but looked either odd or dull on television. Ironically, it is a TV awards show so one would think that the stylists were able to pull photogenic dresses?! There was a

Brooklyn Decker gives you something to think about the next time you put on a too skimpy outfit

When the model with the body of death shows some modesty, should not the scantily clad bimbettes take note? Guess what folks? Brooklyn Decker does NOT bare all at the Guys Choice Awards. This post is for the babes out there who have a penchant for strutting around with their girls spilling out while wearing skirts so short that they need a bikini wax rather than a leg wax. Not to forget that their bodycon dresses are two sizes too small and they are wearing skyscraper heels that can't even walk in, let alone balance. Sorry sweets, you look cheap! Maybe even like a reject fresh off a screechy reality show casting call... it's not chic, it's not classy.

Katy Perry Smurfette Blue Hair Wig Is California Gurls Cool on the Red Carpet and we found the matching baby wig

I heard a little rumor over the make-up counter this weekend while I was shopping for a new lipstick. It seems that Katy Perry will be unveiling some rather fantastical and wild wigs in her new video... we'll see if those coiffed confectionery creations come to be. In the mean time, I'm totally in love with her electric blue, Bettie Paige-esque, glam girl hair that she sported at the MTV Music Awards this weekend. It is full-on wacky color, but the super coiffed style brings it up a notch to be super chic-- hey, that's Katy Perry's style in a nutshell! The blue hair is really not out of the blue for Katy, she also sports blue hair on the
