Style Showdown: Alexa Chung vs. Jessica Chastain

Posted by kgranero 10:05am GMT

Alexa Chung looked ravishingly retro in a velvet Emilio Pucci dress complete with lace sleeves at the launch of the designer's new boutique at Saks Fifth Avenue in New York.

Actress Jessica Chastain gave the corseted creation the red carpet treatment at the "Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty" Costume Institute Gala back in May.

While both Alexa and Jessica looked like true ladies in this fancy frock, I like how Jessica's more simplistic shoe worked with her dress, as opposed to Alexa's clunky kickers, which distracted from the rest of her look.

17 Disco-Dipped Shoes for the Price of One

Posted by kgranero 3:28pm GMT

From celebrities to major fashion icons, it appears no one is immune to the dazzling effects of the Miu Miu Glitter Bootie (from the Fall 2011 collection).

Because every woman deserves a little twinkle in her wardrobe, I located 17 sparkly substitutes for the same price (that being $890), with lunch money to spare.

Belly-Baring Tops: Trend or Foe?

Posted by babu 5:04pm GMT

Lately, it seems like celebrities are looking for any excuse to bare a little belly and, from cropped knits and blouses to barely-there bustiers, Spring collections promise a melting pot of opportunities to do so.

While there's no doubt the Rihannas, Leona Lewises and "Carrie Bradshaws" of the world can pull off a peek-a-boo midriff, I wonder how well the trend will be received by the "slightly" less confident (including myself).

Red Carpet Recap: 2011 Elle Style Awards

Posted by babu 4:42pm GMT

Celebs jumped off of the red carpet in a rainbow of colors at the 2011 Elle Style Awards.

Some of my favorite looks included those of Emma Watson (who looked sexy and skater-esque in a Hakaan cutout dress ), Blake Lively (who was a breath of fresh air in a sky-blue Emilio Pucci gown and fuchsia peep-toes) and Thandie Newton (who looked vibrant in a violet Louis Vuitton gown blooming with a breezy, floral print).

Alexa Chung (in a blue YSL dress) and Cheryl Cole (in a plunging, red Alexander McQueen gown) completed the colorful display.

Red Carpet Recap: Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week

Posted by babu 4:10pm GMT

Hollywood's couture climbers have been caught up in the high-end fashion heaven that is Haute Couture Paris Fashion Week.

Some of my favorite looks to have surfaced thus far include those of Diane Kruger (who showed off her edgier side in a heavy-metal, haltered Gucci dress), Olivia Wilde (who also got gutsy in a Gucci color-block jumpsuit and tribal necklace and sandals) and Jessica Alba (who sizzled in a sparkly, asymmetrical Gucci sheath and delicate ankle-strap sandals).

Kirsten Dunst and Alexa Chung took the more classical route in a midnight-colored, pleated Chanel number (Kirsten) and a Chanel tuxedo dress (from the Fall 2010 Couture collection (Alexa).

Red-Carpet Recap: 2010 British Fashion Awards

Posted by babu 4:44pm GMT

"Sexy Witch" appeared to be the theme at the 2010 British Fashion Awards, which took place at The Savoy Hotel in London last night.

Some of the more notable celeb looks included those of Naomi Campbell (who looked luxe in a bejeweled, partially-sheer, black gown accessorized with a fur shawl), Emma Roberts (who got flirty in a full-skirted, floral Julien Macdonald dress) and Daisy Lowe (who channeled her dark side in a gold gown with sheer, paneled overlay).

Also in attendance were Claudia Schiffer (in a color block sheath with gold-ribbon detailing) and Alexa Chung (who took the retro approach in a Peter Pan-collar dress, pin dot tights and platform heels).

Style Showdown: Alexa Chung vs. Blake Lively

Posted by babu 11:24am GMT

Alexa Chung wore a navy and white tweed dress to the Chanel show during Paris Fashion Week yesterday.

If you recall, Blake Lively was first spotted in the dress (from the Chanel Resort 2011 collection) at the "Twelve" screening back in late July.

While I'm not a huge fan of the dress on either lady (to me, the sheer, floral-print midriff screams tacky), I'm going to have to give this one to Blake for her shoe choice. I much prefer the nude pump to Alexa's black loafers.
