Style Icon: Selena Gomez

Latest trends, Style Icons

Selena Gomez has gone from Disney star to a bona fide platinum pop star. She’s had some pretty stellar movie appearances too (see: Spring Breakers and Monte Carlo), with more films on the way. Crossing over from TV to recording and movies is no easy feat, and it’s an indication of how talented and determined this Young Hollywood star is.

You know what else makes her stand out? Her style. Whether it’s on the red carpet or on the streets, Selena‘s style is always youthful, playful, and sophisticated all at the same time. Here’s my roundup of Selena Gomez‘s best fashion moments:

selena-gomez-more-spring-neo-pics-07

I am in love with this look! Consider this your new inspo for your next workout chic look. I love those sheer panels on those leggings, that’s fashion meets function at its best. Those pink sneaks are pretty cute too.

Print on print perfection personified. Don’t mind the alliteration and focus you attention on Selena’s effortless print mixing. Check out her braided hair brand look too.

Take a style cue from Selena Gomez. Rich textured fabrics like brocade is sure to upgrade your white tank, denim cutoffs, and ankle boots combo.

main.original.585x0 (2)

A quick way to make a solid style statement? Choose footwear that commands attention and gets you guaranteed wow points. Just like how these knee-high gladiator heels elevate Selena’s tie-dye casual T-shirt dress.

main.original.585x0 (3)

Dress up your comfy maxi dress with combat boots and a leather motorcycle jacket. This look is the perfect cross section between the girly meets trendy vibe, which let’s be honest, is what Selena’s style is all about.

main.original.585x0 (4)

Simple and sophisticated in this year’s trendy Marsala color, Selena Gomez shows us the power of a great color. No embellishments or extra accessories needed.

main.original.585x0 (5)

Needing a style refresh on that striped tee? Selena can guide you. An oversized white blazer/trench hybrid and leather pants should do the trick nicely.

main.original.585x0 (6)

The boldness of the black against the delicate polka dots is what makes this frock stand out from your typical evening looks. I love how Selena styled it and made it more youthful with a sleek updo and large hoops.

main.original.585x0 (7)

Simple and chic, Selena ups the glam and edginess of this black evening column gown with gold geometric accessories and an armful of trendy wrist candy.

main.original.585x0 (8)

Coachella-inspired airport style? Oh yes. The high rise distressed denim and the turquoise choker up the cool girl vibe of the rust orange halter top. Major style cred goes to Selena for this style savvy airport look.

main.original.585x0

Keep things on the right side of chic when wearing a dress that has a short hemline and a cleavage baring neckline. Selena has the right idea by toning down the sexiness with an elegant updo and minimal accessories.


There you have it. I hope that Selena’s style has given you a tip or two about what to try in your personal style.

The Full Report on Nicki vs. Miley

Latest trends

“Miley, what’s good?”

Those fighting words from Nicki Minaj were heard all around the world last Sunday night during the 2015 MTV Video Music Awards.

The potential for drama was high that night. Between Nicki vs. Taylor Swift, Taylor Swift vs. Kanye, there definitely was tension in the air. We just didn’t expect that sparks would fly between Nicki and Miley.

If you missed out last Sunday and were not able to watch, or if you simply live under a rock, here’s the video of what went down during  the awards show between Nicki and Miley:

Phew. That was intense right?

Other people were crying, “Staged!” But most sources (and even Nicki herself) declares the authenticity of this moment. This beef and this heated exchange wasn’t staged and it wasn’t an act. Just look at Miley’s genuinely shocked expression on the video. This was a direct result of an earlier interview that Miley did where she made comments about Nicki Minaj’s concluded Twitter beef with Taylor Swift.

Here’s a brief recap if you’re still clueless.

Last July, Nicki Minaj called out her lack of video of the year nomination for Anaconda. She stated that because she wasn’t white and skinny, her pop culture phenomenon chart-topping song and video was snubbed. Taylor Swift took offense and thought it to be a pointed tweet to her, but Nicki denied that it was meant for T-Swizzle and they ended the misunderstanding quickly. I mean, they did perform together during the VMAs.

So there’s no bad blood there.

A mere days before the VMA Awards, which Cyrus was slated to host, Miley’s comment regarding this whole Nicki vs. Taylor issue was published.

Miley Cyrus said, “If you do things with an open heart and you come at things with love, you would be heard and I would respect your statement. But I don’t respect your statement because of the anger that came with it … What I read sounded very Nicki Minaj, which, if you know Nicki Minaj is not too kind. It’s not very polite.”

Wow.

Obviously Nicki Minaj did not take to Miley’s comment kindly. AT ALL. A lot of people, Nicki included clearly, that Miley’s comment was way too personal and basically stereotyped Nicki as an angry black woman.

As she came up onstage to receive the Best Hip Hop Video for Anaconda, she then called out Miley.
giphy
That anger is real.

So whose side are you on? Are you Team Nicki or Team Miley?

One thing is for sure though, their confrontation aside, both ladies served up provocative fashion on the red carpet.

Miley-Cyrus-lors-des-MTV-Video-Music-Awards-2015-a-Los-Angeles-le-30-aout-2015_exact1024x768_p nicki-minaj-2015-mtv-video-music-awards-at-microsoft-theater-in-los-angeles_1

Nicki and Miley can certainly serve up some exceptional red carpet sexiness though.

So that’s the latest in pop culture news, it’ll be the brunch topic this Sunday for sure. I’m glad I prepared you. Have a great weekend ladies!

Style Icon: Katy Perry

Latest trends, Style Icons

Katy Perry has so many chart-topping hits, worldwide sold out tours, music awards and accolades, magazine covers, and memorable videos under her belt. She is definitely one of the most popular faces and voices in the music industry today.

More than her infectious songs, Katy Perry has also proven herself quite the style influencer and chameleon.

Aside from her awe inspiring costumes on tour and while performing, Katy has consistently expressed her vibrant and provocative personal style every single time she steps out. The best part about her style is its uniqueness and unpredictability. You never know what style move she’s going to show next. Here’s a quick look at Katy Perry‘s best style moments:

main.original.585x0 (1)

Graffiti chic during the Met Gala, Katy Perry achieves a red carpet coup yet again with this Moschino spray painted gown with matching spray paint can bag. So fun!

main.original.585x0 (2)

Dressing up in Coachella the way only Katy Perry knows how, this irreverent and romantic lace cream frock is just the unexpected style choice that we’ve come to see from Katy. The extra long pearl necklace and ribboned headband sweeten the deal too.

main.original.585x0 (3)

Hitting the Grammy red carpet in all blue. Literally blue from head to toe, she matches her beautiful embellished down with her blue ‘do. The powder blue hue is ethereal and an off-the-beaten path choice for the red carpet but it works.

main.original.585x0 (4)

Blue seems to be Katy’s color. This time around, her bright cobalt blue is made even better by its leather material and sheer embellished paneling on the top. The thin ribboned belt at the waist is also a nice touch. Those shoes might be a step too far though, they have this weird “doll” vibe that seems out of place here. Simple nude suede or leather pumps would look much better.

main.original.585x0 (9)

Katy’s ever changing hair color is one of her signature style accessories. Resplendent with purple hued locks, her nude peek-a-boo dress shows off her amazing curves in style. I love how she let the dress take center stage and kept the rest of her look simple, incredibly sexy.

main.original.585x0

Provocative and high fashion, this red carpet look from Katy is one of my favorites. It’s almost Madonna-esque in its uniqueness. The embellishment overload works in her favor. This is my favourite look for her, it is very grown up, somewhat traditional, very luxury and at the same time has playfulness and youthful vibe added by those sleeves.

main.original.585x0

Katy Perry’s shoot for Wonderland Magazine is further proof of her chameleon-like characteristics. I mean, how great does she looks with red hair and full bangs?

main.original.585x0 (1)

Multiple colored feathers and multiple straps on the back, can you get any more couture than that? I love the matching bleached brows and blonde sleek hair too! I don’t think I would recognise her like this.

main.original.585x0 (3)

Another proof that blue is Katy’s color. Love that oversized ribbon.

main.original.585x0 (2)

Long, poker straight hair complements the beautiful print of this column gown. The print has got me ooh-ing and aah-ing.


Did you fall in love with Katy’s style more after this post? I know I did. I can’t wait to see her on the red carpet again to see what she does next!

Style Icon: Jennifer Aniston

Latest trends, Style Icons

Jennifer Aniston has a rockin’ bod. Featured on various magazine covers for her enviable figure (she credits healthy eating, hydration, and the barre method), Jennifer Aniston is a burgeoning lifestyle guru. Her signature “Rachel” hairstyle and her role in Friends made her famous in the 90s, but her rom-com chops gave her Hollywood staying power. Often described as “the good girl” or “America’s Sweetheart,” Jennifer Aniston often defies these labels to reveal her sexier and more vulnerable side.

9005a65556889916b73e083aceffec0e

Need summer beauty inspiration? Well, here it is. Bronzed with tousled and highlighted waves, Jen looks great in summer whites.4e8f718ee6063650db02c99d1c1abd8b

I love this shot of her. Carefree and effortlessly beautiful, her signature mane is full of volume and she looks great in her signature color, nude.

9901e28e48add8f23e1c27a1553799a3

Hey, if you’ve got it, flaunt it. A toned bod looks great in a low-back dress. Add a layer of bronzer for an additional glow.

b274e2eea1958582d19a28959f1a7c7c

One of the more iconic moments in Jennifer Aniston‘s career was her GQ magazine cover, where she was next to naked. Showing skin is the opposite of a girl-next-door move, it was gutsy and inspiring.

3d1f5855956853c722e5d231e1b41511

Jennifer’s simple and sophisticated style is something that every girl wants to imitate. A breezy chiffon print top with wide leg trousers and a leather saddle bag is the perfect outfit to achieve everyday chic. 
6ee919ee748296f5053ec89f8a9ee428

Looking for some cold weather style inspo? Jen’s got it. The cuffed distressed jeans, the wide brim hat, the striped tee layered underneath a ribbed sweater and scarf are all the definition of uber style. I love the brown boots against all the black and blue.

46cf32ab981a013bee5548678d03faf3

Straying from her usual black, this pastel blue Vivienne Westwood dress has drapery that hug her curves beautifully.

697ee8f491ee81b3758f3f019e87ccc0

You can’t go wrong with an LBD, but Jen puts a little twist to this evening staple with a leather obi-inspired belt and oversized leather clutch. Leather makes everything better.

main.original.585x0 (1)

This Gucci suit in a deep burgundy Marsala color is a great way to get dressed for awards night. A departure from black tuxedo dressing, I love the hint of sexy with the deep neckline accented with trendy gold body jewelry.

main.original.585x0 (2)

A Tom Ford dress with a peplum cocktail silhouette with leather piping against herringbone is modern and ladylike at the same time.

main.original.585x0

This jaw-dropping Valentino Couture gown is oozing with sexy. A high side slit revealing strappy Versace sandals is all you need to exude glamour. No excessorizing needed.


I love how Jennifer Aniston’s look are always so sexy yet feel so effortless. Which one did you fall in love with?

Style Icon: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley

Latest trends

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is poised to take over Hollywood with her recent role in Mad Max: Fury Road. This supermodel and erstwhile actress has also been attracting attention largely due to her amazing style. From her off-duty airport looks, red-carpet glamour, and casual chic street style, Rosie H. has been consistently on the mark.

Her covetable closet and impeccable style aside (and her longtime relationship with Jason Statham), Rosie Huntingon-Whiteley has been one of the most successful models as of late. Starting her career with Victoria’s Secret and Burberry, this supermodel has been the darling of the fashion world.

On the cover of Vogue Deutsch, she exudes the classy gait of the modern woman. I love this red trench she dons on the cover. Not to mention her enviable pout.

rosie-huntington-whiteley-by-james-meakin-for-exit-magazine-3

 

Shooting an exclusive with more avant-garde Exit Magazine, Rosie shows off her bangin’ bod in this peek-a-boo one-piece number. I love the feel of the editorial, from the styling, setting, and art direction. It feels so very Mad Max: Fury Road, no?


Now onto the style… Rosie Huntington-Whiteley‘ style has been well-documented and widely admired for good reason. She simply exudes an effortless sophistication with just the right hint of sexy. Her style is something to be inspired by, for sure.

A green glitter column gown with strategic cut-outs looks amazing on Rosie. What makes this look even more stunning is her adorable shoulder length bob. s is how you dress up for a star-studded Vanity Fair party.

Show off your gams and decolletage, but still keep it classy. Rosie shows you exactly how in this printed fashion forward mini.

main.original.585x0 (1)

Green leather pants instead of the traditional black is a great way to separate yourself from the all black pack. Finish off with earthy complementary tones like this brown suede bootie, and keep it chic with a matching gray coat and fedora.

Style Icon: Karlie Kloss

Latest trends

Karlie Kloss a.k.a “The Body” is one of the most popular, in-demand models at the moment. This Victoria’s Secret Angel doesn’t just have her killer, toned bod going for her. She also has contracts with brands like Juicy Couture, Joe Fresh, and Lacoste as well as with high fashion houses like Oscar de la Renta, Chanel, and Dior, to name a few. A quintessential part of Taylor Swift‘s girl gang (Karlie was in the recent Bad Blood video), Karlie’s star is at its pinnacle, and the way things are going, she’ll be one of the supermodels of our time.

Black and gold is a timelessly glamourous combination. It looks chic every single time.


Karlie’s supermodel status aside, she does have stellar off-duty style and red carpet style too! Here are some of my picks of her off-duty sartorial best.
main.original.585x0

How do you elevate a basic pair of ballet flats? Throw on leather leggings and a blazer-cape hybrid. So fashion forward.

main.original.585x0 (7)

Make your white frock feel more modern with structured heels. I love how minimalist this is. Sophisticated and chic!

main.original.585x0 (6)

What I love about Karlie’s style is that she knows exactly what works for her. This silky scarf gown is a perfect example. The lace-up heels make it more edgy, and less typical lady.

main.original.585x0 (5)

Consider this look your next office style inspiration. Black and white plus tailored to perfection equals classy and powerful style.main.original.585x0 (4)

Perk up your black trousers and white button-down with a tote that’s anything but basic, just like Karlie does.

main.original.585x0 (3)

Karlie makes a compelling case for winter whites. The cable knit sweater gives just the right amount of texture to this look.

main.original.585x0 (2)

Blue tweed with an A-line silhouette is universally flattering, and Karlie knows it.

main.original.585x0 (1)

Stripes with brown leather is a modern casual classic style pairing. The red lip knocks this look out of the park.

Style Icon: Madonna

Latest trends

Madonna has long been noted for her ever-changing looks. A true fashion chameleon, she has gone from fashion rebel in the 80s, sultry leather clad vixen in the 90s, avant-garde style maven in the 00’s, and finally to sophisticated glamazon. Her fashion line, Material Girl, with her daughter, Lola has been hugely successful and a testament to her fashion prowess. She is a true quadruple threat, Madonna is a singer, dancer, actress, and designer. A true style icon.

Here are some of my favorite Madonna looks:

Green fringe, Veronica Lake inspired waves, and a bold red lip spell Old Hollywood glam. But the armful of bangles on each arm say modern and edgy.

Style Icon: Natalie Portman

Style Icons

Natalie Portman’s beauty is understated and elegant. Her grace and carriage point to the grandeur and old world glamour of Old Hollywood. She’s conquered this century’s Hollywood too though. Starring in award-winning heavy hitters like Closer and Black Swan, as well as blockbuster hits like Thor, V for Vendetta, and Star Wars as Queen Amidala. This Harvard graduate is proof that beauty, brains, talent, and impeccable style is possible to have in one petite and sophisticated package.

Here’s my roundup of Natalie Portman’s best looks to date:

54ac38c592ac7_-_elle-natalie-portman-07-xl-xln

Normally, a frock with ruffles all over would be a no-no for someone with a petite frame like Natalie. However, this red number from Lanvin makes an exception. All the ruffles are beautifully layered and draped making it an effortlessly elegant and incredibly flattering red carpet look. The short hemline is perfect for her frame. 54ac38fd14809_-_elle-natalie-portman-18-xl-xln

Natalie shows off her penchant for rosy hues in this pink and red jewel-toned gown. Her classic style is reflected in her great choice of subtle yet glamorous diamond bling. She kept it simple, and yet she made a super chic statement.

87f08f8f4df8ee06c97232ba018d475c

Maternity style proved to be Natalie Portman’s strong suit. She wowed the crowd during her pregnancy by donning one amazing dress after another. The beautiful deep purple color, sexy slit, and off-shoulder silhouette enhance her beautiful figure and show off her baby bump in high style. 642ad1f9cb645874f1b919b2a9b1f651

Further proof that you can’t go wrong with black and white? This flawless daytime ensemble from Natalie Portman. The sleek and feminine black satin slingback heels and delicate diamond drop earrings are the perfect finishing touches to her stylish frock. When you have a great dress like this, you let it do the talking.
776a241f5df0f52d3133674bd0d00750

Great style never takes a day off. Natalie look good even when sporting some off-duty casual threads. Blue jeans, a camel trench, and Cuban heeled boots gets elevated with a strong shot of color via a cobalt blue cashmere scarf. This is how you bundle up while still looking chic as ever. 012715-LOTD-natalie-portman-428

Clad in head-to-toe Dior, Natalie represented  the brand well. She is a Dior brand ambassador after all. From the tweed coat, cashmere sweater, and the beautifully embellished silk satin skirt, the mix of textures is what makes this outfit stand out. 022612-Natalie-Portman-350

One of her best Oscar looks and a noteworthy red carpet moment, Natalie Portman commanded attention in this Dior Haute Couture gown. The vintage feel, fitted bodice, classic Old Hollywood polka dot print all came together for an evening look that exceeded expectations. 102613-Natalie-Portman-350

A perfect picture of feminine style at its best, Natalie Portman continues to impress with her polished and ladylike style. The embellished floral tulle overlay of this fit and flare tea length dress makes it perfect either for a red carpet event or an afternoon at high tea. She finished it off perfectly with gold vintage inspired sandals. 1325880560-natalie-portman__largeNatalie tried her hand at subtle color blocking when she combined this bright and vibrant royal blue with a pair of deep purple peep toes. She showed off her gorgeous gams and flattered her petite frame with the short hemline and A-line silhouette of this frock. The origami bust detail combined with the tailored detailing in the buttoned front and pockets are features that make this dress a stellar standout.

Style Icon: Miley Cyrus

Style Icons

Teen queen turned fashion and pop culture provocateur Miley Cyrus is a style icon in her own right. Having transformed before our eyes from Disney pop princess into a bona fide fashion insider, her recent collaboration with Jeremy Scott is further proof of her fashion prowess and unique style sensibility. She can go from red carpet glam to high street brash and bold fashion in a snap. This is what makes her so exciting, what Miley wears is always a clear reflection of her mood and where she is in her life. It is so transparent and simply thrilling to watch and observe. Let Miley inspire you to take fashion risks and wear things you never thought you would. Buck tradition and break all the rules while keeping chicness top of mind a la Miley.15

Here are my picks of Miley’s top 10 best looks:

2e5e4fe051ace59e92bb20e72964a99b

Miley does tailored in this red carpet look. Her cutting edge and modern take on the pantsuit involves bright yellow athletic piping and a mandarin collar top with sheer paneling. Wearing a black bra underneath a white top is a very Miley move that shows she’s no red carpet rookie. She can turn even a fashion faux pas into a moment of chicness. 

8aec071254364f4a3f47f4e75c2853ff

You wouldn’t expect to see Miley in a Canadian tuxedo (read: denim on denim look), and yet here she is pulling it off excellently and putting her own twist to it, of course. The long white talons, royal blue minimalist sandals, and her spiky bleached blonde hair are outfit add-ons that are so Miley.

8d48e811b4dc1caafae71461e6e7463e

A matching full tea skirt and crop top make for a ladylike ensemble. However, black and white perforated mesh detailing add a definitely daring spin on the matching set trend. I also love how Miley styled this look simply, opting to let these striking separates take center stage and keep the accessories and beauty look at a minimum.

This casual street style look is signature Miley. Youthful, playful, and fun, the Converse sneaks, oversized white tee and flannel shirt combo is a little bit country and a little bit rock n’ roll. Just like Miley. Layered and chunky gold bling, a messy top knot, oval sunnies, and a black leather studded carryall  make this the quintessential young Hollywood pavement pounding outfit.

This is the look that best captures Miley’s style of the moment. A little bit more grown up and polished, and plenty more fashion forward, this monochromatic look has elements of street like a leather motorcycle jacket and chunky heeled creepers that blend with classic black pieces for a stunning evening look.

Want inspiration on how to style your graphic tee? Look no further than this look from Miley. A gilded satchel, leather mini skirt, and layered neck candy upgrade her tee from casual to an outfit fit for a night out or maybe a concert date. Take note of the extreme side part, and how a simple styling trick can have a huge difference in the overall vibe of your look.

Now while this red carpet look may not be everyone’s cup of tea, it perfectly captures Miley’s no holds barred, take no prisoners view on fashion. She is obviously going to have a great time wearing this look, and at the end of the day it’s how your clothes make you feel that truly matters. It’s such a provocative look that still manages to look noteworthy, I love the embellishments and the color and texture it adds to the look.

All white for the summer means extreme distressed jeans and cropped tops for Miley. With some chunky chain bling and creepers, she personalizes this all white look and gives it her touch of street style and funk.

She wowed everyone in this red carpet look for this year’s VMA Awards. Equal parts edgy, chic, and incredibly fashion forward, this all leather ensemble is just what you would expect from Miley on a red carpet event. It’s young and fun while still looking sophisticated, and reveals just the right amount of skin. The metallic sandal is a great footwear choice that nicely rounds out this A plus red carpet style.

Miley can go glam too. With slicked back hair, smoky eyes, and a splendid glittering column gown, it certainly displays her penchant for bold look-at-me styles. This gown is feminine and yet the green sequins elevates it from your traditional evening gown. The halter neckline is an excellent detail too.
