Runway Look of the Day: Dries Van Noten

Oct 5, 2009 @ 11:00 am

I love Dries Van Noten for how easily he can take authentic ethnic fabrications, like an ikat print, and mix them with Parisian chic. The result is ladylike and casual—all at the same time!

—Cindy Weber-Cleary

Michelle Obama’s Date Night Style Secrets

Oct 5, 2009 @ 12:45 am

Michelle Obama stepped out for a night-on-the-town with her hubby this weekend and they had good reason to celebrate—it was their 17th wedding anniversary! She dazzled in a Narciso Rodriguez black halter dress, but what really had us going was her flawless use of accessories. Got a hot date lined up? Study up on her secrets:

• Carry a bright clutch with a basic black dress for an added pop of color.
• Opt for dressy kitten heels that pack some major style, minus the pain!
• Have a little fun with statement-making bangles—after all you’re off-duty!
