Posted on by

I’ve been staying on top of all the latest runway shows, trying to add a little more high fashion splash to Style Darling & came across this enchanting video of the latest from Valentino.  The legendary brand’s Haute Couture Fall 2012 / Winter 2013 show is full of dramatic construction, gothic hues, flirty florals, lavish long sleeves, & glamorous gold sparkle, perfect as a platform for next season’s envious styles. I can already see the likes of red carpet veterans like Angelina Jolie, Cate Blanchett, & Meryl Streep donning these unforgettable designs.  You can shop for Valentino @Net-A-Porter, Far Fetch, Neiman Marcus, & Nordstrom!

Of course movie stars get a lot of credit for showing up to premieres & awards shows in couture gowns, but some of the faces that we see on a weekly basis on the small screen don’t always get the credit they deserve, or attention for their fabulous red carpet style.  In this edition of Red Carpet Review, the stars who walked the red carpet at this week’s Critic’s Choice Television Awards stepped up their style in gorgeous cocktail dresses, jaw-dropping gowns, & classic designs.  Some of my favorites of the night include Shameless star Emmy Rossum in a stunning gold Donna Karan dress, Kate Walsh of Private Practice in a sparkling yellow Jenny Packham mini, the cutest geek on TV Zooey Deschanel in a sweet belted Oscar de la Renta dress, & the always lovely Julianne Moore, who won for her role as Sarah Palin in Game Change, in a body-conscious Jason Wu dress. Check out the styles & leave comments of who you think got it right! Happy Styling!

Silver Screen Style: Miss Piggy Goes Glam for In Style!

Posted on by

To mark the excitement of Style Darling’s 300th post, I’m recycling some style news, but it’s still important news! Thanks to my editor over @Movie Buzzers, I got an exclusive heads up about a very special fashion spread that I’m so excited to cross-blog!

With all the news surrounding the long-awaited new movie, The Muppets, Miss Piggy is making her comeback in a big way!  In the November issue of In Style, featuring Gwen Stefani on the cover, the beloved puppet siren puts all previous high-fashion centerfolds to shame with looks by designers like a feathered flapper dress by Jason Wu, a romantic LWD (little white dress) by Parabal Gurung, and many more!

It’s been a whole twelve years since we saw the Muppet crew on the big screen, but Miss Piggy is making every effort to steal the show, especially after an impressive 35 years in the entertainment business.  In the magazine, she discusses her relationship with Kermit, her fashion sense, what it was like to film with her old friends, and exactly what she thinks about her co-stars Jason Segel and Amy Adams. Not to mention that all of the looks that the famous pig models were custom-made for the diva, including strappy leopard pumps by Brian Atwood, gold-plated jewelry by Philip Crangi for Giles & Brother, a floral belted Suno dress, and sweet Opening Ceremony halter dress with ankle strap heels.

You can expect to see the movie in theaters on November 23rd and check out Movie Buzzers’ previous articles about the latest trailer and video, a parody trailer, and news on the movie’s soundtrack featuring OKGO, Weezer, and many more! Also, check back with Movie Buzzers at the end of the year since I’m sure Miss Piggy’s on screen style will put The Muppets on my Top 10 Most Stylish Movies of 2011 list!

9/13/11 Darling of the Day: Lea Michele’s Jason Wu Look Recreated from Dillards, Avenue, & Payless!

Posted on by

Lea Michele showed up during Fashion Week to help support the designs of Jason Wu, wearing an ensemble by the brand with Brian Atwood pumps.  This look is so easy to recreate & I actually do it everyday for work!

As usual, I’ve featured the look in plus & women’s sizes because it’s universally figure-flattering! An a-line skirt allows you to emphasize the smallest par of your waist, creating that bombshell hourglass shape!  Skirts like the abstract plaid from OneStopPlus for $22.99 & the black & white floral print from Dillards are perfect examples of modern patterns in an a-line that will transform your look from everyday to polished.  Also, the floral print skirt is marked down from $58.00 to $34.80!

A scoop neck black tee like those selected from Avenue for $19.99 & The Gap which costs $12.50 are the basic foundation pieces to any stylish look with a bold print.

As for the shoes, classic round toe pumps like these from Payless will help elongate the legline, while also complimenting the busy print in the skirt. The sale price of $19.99 from $27.99 doesn’t hurt either!

I picked two different textured clutches, a metallic leopard clutch ($16.50) from Charlotte Russe & a green patent croc clutch from Payless ($14.99) to show how the careful mixing of these textures can add dimension to your outfit, while also matching in an unexpected way. And last, but not least, Lea is wearing two cocktail rings, so I picked two that are both edgy & feminine to wear on each hand.  The adjustable spike ring for $4.80 & rhinestone filigree ring for $5.80 are both from Forever 21!  If you’re seeking to replicate Lea’s side-pinned bangs, I even picked out a cute set of bobby pins from Ulta for $2.62!

Do you wear tops tucked into skirts like this?  Are you into bold graphic print skirts?  Would you wear this outfit?  Check out our previous Darling of the Day posts featuring Glee guest-star Gwyneth Paltrow & everybody’s favorite guidance counselor Jayma Mays! Happy Styling!

1/26/11 Darling of the Day: Reese Witherspoon in Colbalt!

Posted on by

Reese Witherspoon recently showed up in this gorgeous cobalt blue Jason Wu cascade creation to help Avon celebrate its 125th anniversary.  The spokeswoman & Oscar-winning actress relies on her confident smile & some basic black pumps to show off her look.  She proves that sometimes that’s all you need- stick to something classic & timeless without any fuss.  Since my search only really included a dress & pair of shoes, I just so happened to stumble on two dresses that fall into this color family that are really similar & super affordable if you’re a fan of Reese‘s professional, yet elegant look. I choose these pumps that have a little touch of animal print to them for some extra flair at such an awesome price from Payless. 

 

 

 

 

Reese does love wearing blue, as you can see here at last year’s Vital Voices 2010 Global Leadership Awards in Washington D.C., here taking a stroll in Beverly Hills, & here at last year’s Golden Globe awards in Giorgio Armani Prive.  For more on Reese’s style, check out this link & here too!  Happy Styling!
