After sifting through my closet full of platforms and Mary Janes with studs, spikes, snakeskin, straps, ribbons, I actually had nothing to play down a dramatic dress as Stacey Keibler has done here.
Sometimes you are longing for the haut-est, brightest, newest trends only to realize that you just need something simple and elegant.
And, of course, pumps like this never go out of style.
The leggy actress paired her bright print dress with just what it needed: a simple, mid-height pump that’s comfortable as well as chic. While I still don’t have that basic black pump, dots.com does — for $16.
Drew Barrymore hit L.A. last night to promote Going the Distance, her new (guess!) rom-com co-starring her sometime paramour Justin Long, and she’s looking every bit the precious metal. Barrymore’s been experimenting with ombré tones in her hair lately, and she’s still working the dark-to-light locks, but as for her gown, it’s all golden. She accessorized her floor-length, strapless Malandrino with a gold Balmain belt, Samantha Wills jewels and YSL Tribtoos. We love her serpent bracelet (that’s it around her left arm), but we’re not sure about the dress itself—especially since it’s made the rounds a few times, as some sharp commentators have noticed, both on the designer herself (at the CFDA Awards) and on her friend and collaborator, Mary J. Blige. You tell us: yea, nay, or eh?

“I want a woman from our age,” Maxime Simoens, the newly announced creative director of Leonard, tells Style.com of the look he has in mind for the label. “It was a bit old, in my opinion. I really want to give it sophistication and modernity. “
The young French designer, who has taken the reins from Véronique Leroy after her eight-year term with Leonard, only began work with the brand today. “I really just began this morning—it’s quite new,” he says. Simoens, who has his own signature ready-to-wear line (which he will continue doing), is known for his strong geometric design aesthetic. He admits, however, he wants to keep the look of his line and Leonard very different. So, what does he have in store? “Leonard was originally a house of fabric—they made it for Chanel and Dior—and then they began doing fashion. I would like to use their vintage fabrics and prints and give them vibrancy and youth,” he explains. “But she will not be in print all the time—it’s impossible!” Until March, when he debuts his first outing with the label, stay tuned.

Since launching her namesake collection in spring 2010, L.A.-based designer Kelly Bergin has reigned in the California-cool domain. For Spring ‘12, the designer continued with her unfussy, luxe approach, using solid neutrals and a pop of bright red for her collection of separates and dresses. To highlight the brand’s L.A. influence, Bergin brought on director Glynnis McDaris to create a short film, entitled The Lap, featuring model Sidney Williams (who was one of the subjects featured in Hedi Slimane’s recent MOCA exhibition, California Song, depicting California youth culture). “The Lap uses the ubiquitous L.A. pool as an object of fantasy,” says Bergin. The clothes (available on Net-a-Porter) also become objects of desire in the film: “The pool also serves as a lens that abstracts, refracts, and distorts the shapes and colors of the clothing and surrounding scene, enhancing the dreamlike quality.” Watch Williams take a dip in the pool in The Lap, which makes its official, exclusive debut here on Style.com today. Warning: Don’t try this at home—Bergin doesn’t proclaim to be making waterproof clothing just yet.

Guo Pei is China’s answer to haute couture. The last time she showed her collection, she sent Carmen Dell’Orefice out in an embroidered, fur-trimmed cape so heavy it took four men to help the legendary model make it down the runway. So expectations were high earlier this week when Guo, whose sculptural, over-the-top creations have drawn admirers including Lady Gaga, mounted her first fashion presentation in more than two years, in Beijing.
In the second of two showings in a soaring industrial space, visitors on Monday entered via a blacked-out exhibition displaying Guo’s 30 startlingly handcrafted takes on traditional Chinese wedding dresses: sunburst collars, acres of silk, and more hand embroidery than you could shake a needle at. According to the punctilious wall texts, one dress took 7,412 hours to make; another incorporated 465,756 pearls. And the show hadn’t even started yet.
Once it did, it was an immaculately constructed dark fairy tale of dragon manes, impossibly high wedges, vertiginous headpieces, and ballet dancers, all under the rubric “Legend of the Dragon,” and all slowly paced, shown one at a time. With arguably her country’s most high-wattage client list, Guo in many ways represents China’s new Gilded Age. But her true message was rather more understated: “My goal was to let more people see beautiful things, especially beautiful handicrafts,” she said. “We want to inspire a greater appreciation for traditional crafts, so that they can continue.”

I love mixing this with pale or washed-out denim and leather; metallic and shiny textures will luxe up the look. For a dose of pure luxury, go on the wild side and wear those real diamond studs you got for your birthday!

Everyone wants a little leather or an even better look, a fleece version of the motorcycle jacket. We have found the jacket for less. I love this Swell.com version, which retails for $62, because it recalls the day of tough girls from the late 1970′s and 80′s like Joan Jett.

I have never seen anything like this Element Port-Fleece jacket, which is similar to one Katie Holmes sported while filming in Australia. It’s moto madness — everyone loves this jacket: girls, boys, kids, dogs!
One of the highlights of a Fendi show is always the accessories, and Silvia Venturini Fendi’s bags for her family’s house are deservedly adored. But don’t miss the jewelry this season—if you ask us, it’s the must-buy from Lagerfeld and Fendi’s strong new collection. All the action is on the wrist this time around, with oversized, chain-link bracelets piling on top of colorful, graphic watches, and F-clasp enamel bangles. Blink and you might’ve missed them as they sped down the runway-which reason enough to give a close look through all of our runway details. Click here to see close-ups of the Fendi jewelry, bags, and shoes, and click the details tab here for all of the Spring 2011 detail shots we’ve run so far.
