Jessica Szohr and Olivia Palermo oohed and aahed at the fairytale of dresses, modeling a couple of knockout looks themselves.

The First Lady Sparkles in Bronze Sequins

Sep 16, 2010 @ 2:44 pm

Style icon Michelle Obama attended the Congressional Hispanic Caucus Institute’s 33rd Annual Awards Gala in Washington last night, with a very dapper-looking President on her arm. The First Lady, who’s known to wear designs from labels like Thakoon and Jason Wu, showed off her famous arms in a bronze sequin cocktail sheath from Moschino, and it’s one of our favorite looks yet! She accessorized with jeweled circular earrings and gold open-toe pumps.

Swarovski Introduces 22 Ways to Say Black

Sep 16, 2010 @ 11:18 am

On September 20th, Swarovski will be auctioning off 22 LBDs designed by some of world’s most influential fashion designers. The crystal-making line challenged the designers to each create a one-of-a-kind LBD using Swarovski gems as embellishments. The designers tapped for the project include Alber Elbaz for Lanvin, Fendi and Giorgio Armani Prive (each of whose creations are shown from left to right). In addition to these dazzling dresses, Swarovski is releasing a book, 22 Ways to Say Black (available on Amazon.com) with blown-out images of the collection. The proceeds from each dress and the book will benefit cancer-related charities including the American Cancer Society and La Ligue Nationale Contre le Cancer in France. Can’t wait to add one of these beauties to your collection? You can bid by phone (212-940-1228), by e-mail (bids@phillipsdepury.com), or in person at the Phillips de Pury & Company auction in New York City this Monday.

People has released their annual Best Dressed listed, and some of our favorite stars have earned top marks. Jennifer Aniston was called out for chic, all-American taste (like this draped Donna Karan), while Jessica Alba was noted for her always-effortless mix of casual pieces with more fancy, edgy ones. Softly waved hair, for example, tones down the high-fashion, hard-edge of Alba’s sparkling Balmain dress. And Zoe Saldana was noted for her impeccable, always dramatic red-carpet choices, such as this stunning RM by Roland Mouret gown. For the complete list of stars, visit PeopleStyleWatch.com.
