Five Chic Summer Updates!

May 25, 2010 @ 1:18 pm

The following is a guest post from one of our favorite shopping destinations, Decadestwo.

Decadestwo co-owner Christos Garkinos‘s keen eye and sophisticated sense of style come in handy when it comes time to update your warm-weather wardrobe. With temperatures on the rise, he’s given his top five picks for transitioning from spring to summer exclusively for InStyle.com readers.

1. This Chanel garden party dress from the Spring 2009 collection (far left, size 40 and priced at $2000) is crafted with fabulous deco details, such as pleating at the bodice and a black and pink color palette.

2. We’re always on the hunt for pieces on their way back around. Floral sheaths, like this Dolce & Gabbana watercolor print dress (near left, size 38 and priced at $550), were hot in the 90s—at the time you may have paired it with grunge-style combat boots. Today, the slip-inspired dress has grown up and so have we. More

Watch Rihanna’s “Rockstar 101″ Video

May 25, 2010 @ 12:25 pm

The ever-experimental Rihanna gave an object lesson in edgy style in her new video for “Rockstar 101.” At the start of the black-and-white clip, the singer appears in a very slinky chained number paired with a spiked headpiece; from there, she transitions to leopard-print leggings,  a white jacket with metal accents at the shoulders, and a patent leather catsuit with gigantic puffed sleeves. Finally, Ri-Ri paid homage to ex-Guns N’ Roses guitarist Slash, who contributed a rocking guitar solo to the song, by dressing as him, complete with curly wig and hat. Check out the video above.

Gwen Stefani’s Rocker Chic New ‘Do

May 25, 2010 @ 10:41 am

Gwen Stefani traded in her shoulder-length waves for an edgy new fringed lob (beauty editor speak for long bob). While the statement bangs and choppy layers are new, the pop star/fashion designer stayed true to her signature platinum hue and trademark red lips. Stefani’s longtime hairstylist Danilo dished that this updated look is all a part of the mother of two’s constantly evolving style. “Gwen is an ever-changing beauty. The straight chop is just another aspect of her representing her individuality,” Danilo told us. “Gwen marches to her own beauty beat—bangs today, gone tomorrow.”

Kristin Davis looked stunning in a bright pink Jean Desses vintage gown from Decades. Cynthia Nixon looked simply elegant in a black strapless Carolina Herrera gown, while Kim Cattrall opted for classic Hollywood glamour in a body-skimming gold gown by Naeem Khan.
