One Designer, Two Ways: Givenchy

Posted by kgranero 3:44pm GMT

Kim Kardashian was recently spotted wearing a multi-print chiffon dress from the Givenchy Pre-Fall collection while out and about (with soon-to-be-ex-husband Kris Humphries) in New York.

I recognized the print immediately because I've been looking for a style steal ever since Mila Kunis wore a similar version for Spike TV's 5th Annual Guys Choice Awards back in June.

While both ladies worked it in Givenchy, I tend to prefer Mila's style, as it comes off as more polished than Kim's (which, due to the excessive fabric in front, strikes me as somewhat sloppy).

Which style is the right way, and which one needs to hit the highway? You tell me in the comment section below.

Dare to Wear: Naomi Campbell

Posted by babu 12:17pm GMT

Never one to pass up a statement-making style, Naomi Campbell braved a cutout Givenchy Couture gown for the Monaco Royal Wedding.

While no doubt on the frisky side, what tends to bother me most about this gown is the haphazard placement of the emeralds along the waist, as well as how they compete with the open bodice to be the central focus of the dress.

One Designer, Two Ways: Givenchy

Posted by babu 2:52pm GMT

I love silk and chiffon, as well as prints, so when they're combined, I am in fashion heaven.

Mila Kunis hit it right on the mark in her partially-sheer, printed Givenchy number at Spike TV's 5th Annual 2011 "Guys Choice" Awards.

Singer Florence Welch took a more modest (and intense) approach to the Pre-Fall 2011 collection, wearing a blouse and longer, partially-sheer skirt paired with a matching blazer (she even went as far as to wear a matching purse and bootie) during Paris Fashion Week back in March.

While I can appreciate Florence's dedication to the designer collection, there's no central focus to her look (with so much of the same print, she reminds me of a screensaver), whereas Mila's styling allows her ensemble to breathe. Let this serve a classic example of "less is more."

Which style is the right way, and which one needs to hit the highway? You tell me in the comment section below.

Dare to Wear: Liv Tyler

Posted by babu 1:12pm GMT

When Liv Tyler wants to keep paparazzi at bay on the red carpet, she opts for an outfit with serious bite.

The actress modeled a teeth-baring, Rottweiler-print sweater (from the Givenchy Fall 2011 Mens collection) at the Givenchy AfterShow Party At L'Arc during Paris Fashion Week, attempting (unsuccessfully) to tame Cujo in with a menswear blazer.

Dare to Wear: Nicki Minaj

Posted by babu 5:34pm GMT

Nicki Minaj took the animal print trend to greater heights (literally) in a what appeared to be a leopard, illusionary inset dress, tights and booties (all from Givenchy) at this year's Grammy Awards.

She topped off her look (which included a matching bra) with her signature pink pout and what appeared to be a leopard take on Cruella de Vil's infamous 'do.

Trend to Try: Understated Styles

Posted by babu 12:39am GMT

In a winter fashion season rife with statement necklaces and electric dress hues, it was refreshing to see some more understated looks on the red carpet recently.

Over the weekend, to attend a Dizzy Feet charity event, Katie Holmes tamed a rocker moto jacket with a soft shade and paired it with a simple LBD which let her Givenchy heels stand out.

Always stunning Gwyneth Paltrow accessorized a simple draped Donna Karan dress with only bright red lips.

Meanwhile, last week, Jennifer Aniston, in Morrocco for the opening of a luxury hotel, stuck with her classic simple style in a backless black sheath and minimal jewelry.
