Beauty Cues: Christina Hendricks’s Peachy Flush
This rosy look is amazing on Christina Hendricks, right? It’s incredibly flattering to her coloring ― she looks gorgeous and natural but not washed out or underdone. These pale shades may not work for everyone, but any skin tone can adapt a similar look by using deeper colors that echo the undertones of the complexion. But for fair skin, sometimes all you really need to brighten up a pale situation (especially in the cooler months, when everything’s a little dull and dry) is a little bit of eyeliner and touches of a color that mimics your natural flush.

Love It Or Leave It: Miley Cyrus’s Chainmail Cool
Miley Cyrus attended a tribute to Halston CEO Ben Malka on Wednesday night, and wore this Temperley London top and pants to the event. We’re really feeling the chainmail vibe of the top, but oh my God, wide leg pants like this make my skin crawl. What do you think of Miley’s ensemble?
The Beautiful And The Boring From Chanel Fine Jewelry Anniversary Party
Let’s talk about Places I Wish I Had Been Last Night: Chanel fêted the 80th anniversary of their “Bijoux De Diamants” collection here in New York and, as one can always anticipate from an occasion hosted by the illustrious French fashion house, a host of starlets and socialites alike showed up in their Lagerfeld finest. Let’s take a look at the best (and slightly questionably)-dressed of the elite crowd…
Love It Or Leave It: Elle Fanning’s Print-Happy Maxi Dress
I was all about Hot Topic and graphic Ts when I was Elle Fanning’s age, which is plenty embarrassing enough without someone like Elle running around looking consistently on point. Her sartorial sense is impressive at any age, but the fact that she’s so well-dressed at 14 is frankly kind of mind-blowing. Yes, I would do terrible things to push my way into her closet (and, ohmygod, all the better if she shares one with Dakota), but I’d still think twice before I went for this maxi dress. The shape and silhouette are undoubtedly gorgeous, but the effect of the polka dots and vintage-y floral print together is, shall we say, A Lot Of Look. I love the ’70s Michelle Phillips vibe, and Elle’s mermaid hair and fresh-faced makeup are perfect — I think she definitely made the best of this slightly busy look, but do you love it?
The Lady Stars Of “Parks And Recreation” Are Looking Pretty Fabulous
Who knew that April Ludgate, Leslie Knope, and Ann Perkins were so damn stylish? The “Parks and Recreation” trifecta cleaned up ever-so-nicely for an event hosted by Glamour, and I barely recognized the Pawnee politicians out of their buttoned-up office attire. Do you think they carpooled? I hope they carpooled. I want to be invited to that carpool.
That’s A Lot Of Look: Avril Lavigne Sends Mixed Signals
While out and about in London, the future first lady of Canada bravely rocked an ensemble that included partially shaved My Little Pony hair, punk rock skull t-shirt, quilted leather jacket, jersey maxi skirt, bowler bag, and Tory Burch sandals. I have 100% worn this outfit to Walgreens to pick up cold medicine, so I get it, but for a nice dinner in London? Not so sure about this, Avril. [Photo: Fame/Flynet]
That’s A Lot Of Look: Jessica Biel’s Stud Farm
What is up with Jessica Biel today, guys? She is wearing every kind of trend at once. Colored leather, studded leather, a weird peasant top? Did she switch stylists? Join a lesbian biker gang? Pick up a side job as a Michael Jackson impersonator? What’s the deal, Biel? [Photo: WENN]
Style Stealer: Helena Christiansen’s Bright Fall Palette
Look, it’s model Helena Christensen tooling around New York, getting checked out by a skeevy hot dog vendor dude! Stars, they’re just like us! We’re really feeling Helena’s fall-forward outfit here, not the least of which because she’s openly defied Standard Matchy-Matchy Rules and has put together an outfit that’s cute and quirky without being over the top. Her outfit is proof that things don’t always, always have to go together perfectly. Keep reading »
Love It Or Leave It? Agyness Deyn’s White Period
The supermodel — and new Mrs. Giovanni Ribisi — attended a gala screening of the movie “Pusher” in London Thursday night, and at first I was totally into the white Comme Des Garcons dress she wore. But on closer analysis, it looks a bit too boxy and mumsy for fantastic Deyn. Incidentally, Deyn plays a stripper named Flo in the movie — it’s her first acting role. What do you think of Deyn’s CDG look?
