Beauty Trend: Tangerine Lips

It's bright, it's bold, it's fun, and there's a shade that's perfect for everyone...we're talking about orange lipstick girls, and at the moment it's all beauty editors and bloggers can talk about (thanks in large part to Jessica Alba's tangerine pout at last Sunday's Golden Globes). It's a very striking color, so keep the rest of your makeup simple and let your lips be the star. --Angel

Red Carpet Inspiration: 2013 Golden Globe Awards pt. 2

We told you we couldn't narrow down our favorite looks from the 2013 Golden Globes; we tried, promise, but there were just so many amazing looks to choose from. Here are ten more of the looks we loved most from last night's ceremony. --Angel

Adele looked absolutely flawless in a black Burberry gown with a dazzling jeweled neckline. As always, her makeup was perfect with her signature cat eye and false lashes.

 

Django Unchained actress Kerry Washington hit the red carpet in a stunning sheer Miu Miu dress with beaded detailing. A vintage Movado was the finishing touch.

 

Nicole Richie choose a demure, long-sleeved gown with shimmery lavender appliques by Naeem Khan, accessorizing her look with her own House of Harlow box clutch.

 

Glee's Lea Michele showed off her tan in an ivory Elie Saab halter gown with tons of sequins and glittery jewels from Lorraine Schwartz.

 

Megan Fox also rocked the silhouette of the night: mermaid gown. Her's was a pale, lacy number from Dolce & Gabbana.

 

Jennifer Lawrence may have had the flu, but the Silver Linings Playbook star looked fresh-faced and absolutely gorgeous in a belted, tomato red Dior Haute Couture Ball Gown.

 

Girls star Lena Dunham wowed in an off-the-shoulder Zac Posen gown in a gorgeous aubergine color. She completed her look with Fred Leighton jewels.

 

And Lena's co-star Allison Williams looked beautiful with slicked back hair to show off the plunging neckline and sequin detailing of her black J. Mendel gown.

 

Zosia Mamet, a third Girls co-star, was chic and sophisticated in a black Tony Ward gown. We loved the leather detail!

 

Modern Family's Sarah Hyland also chose black: a dramatic Max Azria Atelier number with a pleated bodice and jewel-encrusted belt.

Red Carpet Inspiration: 2013 Golden Globe Awards pt. 1

It was as if every major film and television starlet was determined to be at the top of all the best dressed lists because at last night's 70th Annual Golden Globe Awards in Beverly Hills every one of them looked more amazing, more glamorous, and more stunning than ever. It was seriously hard to narrow down favorites (like, really hard), but here are ten of our favorites. --Angel

Julianne Hough had the winning look in an ultra-feminine, white and gold ball gown designed by FIDM Grad Monique Lhuillier. We love how her edgy faux-hawk hair balanced the glamorous gown.

 

Homeland actress Claire Danes braved the cold in a bright Versace halter gown. A smoldering, smoky eye completed her look.

 

Halle Berry of Cloud Atlas also chose Versace for the big night: a printed, one-shoulder number in varying shades of pink with a daring slit.

 

New Girl star Zooey Deschanel matched her lips to her candy red Oscar de la Renta ball gown. She complemented the look with classic pearls.

 

Jessica Alba was the picture of Hollywood glamour in a curve-hugging, coral Oscar de la Renta mermaid gown, glitzy Harry Winston jewels and Veronica Lake waves.

 

Songbird Taylor Swift was striking in a deep plum mermaid gown from Donna Karen Atelier. She finished her look with a sideswept updo.

A statuesque Stacy Keibler worked the red carpet in a black column gown by Armani Prive and sleek, shiny strands.

Red Carpet Inspiration: 2013 People's Choice Awards

From Jen Aniston's saucy leather frock to host Kaley Cuoco's sweet pink design, the fashion at last night's People's Choice Awards certainly did not disappoint. --Angel

Host Kaley Cuoco walked the red carpet in a frothy, barely pink number designed by Christian Siriano. Rose gold accessories completed her look, one of our favorites of the evening.

 

Jennifer Aniston, winner of the Favorite Comedic Actress award, was also a winner in the style department, donning leather by Christian Dior. Hot!

 

Singer Taylor Swift picked up her Favorite Country Artist award in this chic floor-length sheath from Ralph Lauren. We're also digging her hair and makeup.

 

Glee's Lea Michele chose a hot pink Elie Saab mini dress which she accessorized with matching Jimmy Choos.

 

Chloe Moretz's neon yellow daisies from Simone Rochas had us yearning for the warm summer days ahead.

 

Rock of Ages actress Julianne Hough shone like the night's sky in a glittering Tony Ward couture dress.

 

Pretty Little Liars' Shay Mitchell rocked a printed coral dress from Giorgio Armani. The color looked amazing on her, right?

 

Silver Linings Playbook star Jennifer Lawrence channeled everything that was glamorous about the '70s in shimmering velvet by Valentino.

 

Ian Somerhalder of The Vampire Diaries smoldered in a classic black suit.

 

We love Les Miserables actor Eddie Redmayne's pick here: a plaid suit with a contrasting navy vest and red pocket square.

Spring 2013 Runway Trends for Prom

Sure, it's only January and some of us still have Christmas trees up, but it's never too early to start thinking about prom. In fact, we've been thinking about it (and dying to talk about it) since last fall when we saw the Spring 2013 runway shows. Here are a few of the trends that we not only loved, but instantly knew would be a hit for prom 2013! --Angel

Prints

Alice + Olivia

Spring is all about prints--from pretty florals and paisleys to playful stripes and polka dots and beyond. For prom, try a printed frock in a super feminine silhouette for a special occasion look with an updated twist.

 

Neon

Diane von Furstenberg

It's quite unexpected, yet insanely cool. Neon colors are bold and edgy in a way that isn't typical for prom, but somehow works. Choose all black accessories (we're thinking booties and perhaps even a belt) for a look that's cool and modern and totally memorable.

 

Ballerina

Christian Siriano

We fell in love with the soft, feminine, ballerina-inspired looks designers such as Christian Siriano and Elie Saab sent down the runway. Think delicate lace and tulle in soft, pale colors like pink, seafoam, and even gray. A tea-length skirt gives the look of a modern tutu!

 

Jewel Tones

Monique Lhuillier

From the Indian influence at Marchesa to FIDM Alumna Monique Lhuillier's 'under the sea' interpretation, rich, gorgeous color flooded the Spring 2013 runways. For a prom look that'll surely turn heads, try rich purples and turquoises, luscious berry hues, and sunny yellows and oranges.

Beauty Trend: Sixties Cat Eyes

We're just loving the all-at-once sassy and sweet look of a '60s cat eye. This beauty trend is positively perfect for the season's most festive looks, but it's also an amazing look for dates, parties, and of course, prom. --Angel

Add Sparkle to Your Holiday Look

From tinsel-bedecked trees to twinkling lights (not to mention all the festive, sequined dresses and accessories), the holiday season is all about sparkle and shine. But not everyone is into the beaded frocks and sequined pants that are so hot this time of year. If that's you, check out these fun and unexpected ways to add a little dose of sparkle to your holiday look. Happy holidays!

Commando Tights - Disco

Shimmery tights are a great way to keep your legs warm against the winter chill and up your glam factor. They'll look great paired with an LBD, or even a sweet pair of shorts.

 

Jerome Russell B Wild Hair & Body Glitter Spray

Glitter hair spray may seem a little Halloweenish, but this one can be as subtle as you'd like. Plus it's also a body spray so you can opt to add a little sparkle to your decolletage and arms too.

 

Make Up For Ever Limited Edition Eyelashes

These festive falsies are so glamorous and unexpected, we guarantee you'll be turning heads all night. Pair these gilded lashes with a bright red lip to really get the party started!

Love the Look: Anne Hathaway

Actress Anne Hathaway may have been honoring her Les Miserables co-star Hugh Jackman at the Museum of the Moving Image, but we can't help but note how party-ready she is in this dazzling Nina Ricci number. For starters, the colors are exquisite on her milky skin--dark (but not black or colorful, more like pewter) sequins on a nude dress. And that silhouette is just as flattering, with its slight blouson top and straight skirt. Really, the dress couldn't be more perfect for a glamorous holiday party, right? We also love how Anne styled the look here. No necklace or glitzy jewelry to compete with the dress (a smart move on her part), just a metallic clutch and shiny satin sandals to carry on the shimmery theme. Her unfussy hair and makeup complete the look, and again, she didn't do anything too dramatic to take away from the frock. Instead, her pink lips and sideswept bangs totally complement the look. This is definitely one of our favorite looks for Anne.

Love the Look: Berenice Marlohe

Oh, how we love this time of year! All those fabulous holiday parties calling for dazzling dresses and sparkling accessories--is there anything better? That's probably why we were instantly taken with Skyfall actress Bérénice Marlohe's look at the film's Tokyo premiere. It was the epitome of dazzling, with, not just sparkling beads, but also feathers--fun, flirty, fabulous feathers. And perhaps what's best about all those fluffy feathers is that there aren't so many of them that the rest of her look got overshadowed. In fact, it took us no time at all to notice her jeweled pumps, also quite dazzling, and the aubergine manicure that matched the spray of purple plumes behind the black ones. Finally, the gorgeous French actress nailed that heavily-lined smokey eye and nude lip combo that so many French woman seem to have mastered.
