Runway Looks We Love: Diane von Furstenberg

Feb 13, 2012 @ 3:05 pm

Diane von Furstenberg named her latest collection “Rendezvous,” and the designer’s bold jumpsuits and draped dresses looked perfect for just that! Vibrant colors took over the runway, often paired in high-contrast combos, while prints took a quirky turn with quotation marks, puzzle pieces and interlocking hand prints splashed across slinky dresses. In contrast to the relaxed silhouettes, the styling and accessories were sleek, with leather opera gloves, boxy oversized sunglasses, and minimalist black heels complementing each outfit. See our favorite looks in the gallery!

New daddy (and RocNation founder) Jay-Z couldn’t make the party, but he still managed to draw a slew of supporters to his label’s annual pre-Grammy brunch at Hollywood’s Soho House, where guests like Corinne Bailey Rae and Katy Perry got a chance to relax before the big night. “I woke up with my hair like this,” said Rihanna (in Bottega Veneta) of her laid-back look. “I only wanted something on my lips and to put on a suit.” See more stars who made the most of the music industry’s biggest weekend in the gallery now.

We love the lively and exuberant vibe Corinne Bailey Rae, Kelly Rowland, and Diana Ross brought to the Grammy Awards red carpet with their naturally curly hairstyles! Rae swept hers over to one side, Rowland gathered hers into a huge ponytail on the back of her head, and Ross let hers hang full and loose. So, do you ever wear your hair curly?

Grammys 2012 Hair Trend: Sleek Ponytails

Jessie J, Fergie, Melanie Fiona and Tia Carrere all pulled their hair up tight into high, glossy ponytails at the 2012 Grammys. The look is at once simple and dramatic—and it’s a fun way to show-off extra long extensions. Wrapping a section of hair around the base of the ponytail and securing it with a bobby pin conceals the elastic and dresses the look up for the red carpet. Fergie, who won for her “All of the Lights” collaboration, used this very trick.

Grammys 2012: Inside the Warner Music Group and InStyle Party!

Feb 13, 2012 @ 12:25 pm

After the last trophy was handed out at the Staples Center, Fergie, Lana Del Rey, John Legend and more of the industry’s hottest stars made a beeline to the famed Chateau Marmont Hotel for a post-Grammy bash hosted by the Warner Music Group and InStyle. “This party is so crowded!” declared Blake Shelton (in Ermenegildo Zegna), who made the rounds with wife Miranda Lambert (in Atelier Pavoni). After stopping by the Champagne Bar for a glass of Beau Joie bubbly, guests rocked out to a performance by Bruno Mars. Luckily for late arrivals like Paul McCartney, the dance floor stayed open well into the early hours of the morning. See more party photos in the gallery!
