Would You Wear a Crystal Snake Dress Like Jennifer Lopez and Emma Stone?

May 1, 2012 @ 11:40 am

This season, Lanvin released a copper and black color-block dress with one out-of-the-ordinary addition—a Swarovski crystal snake wrapped around the neck and winded down the left side of the body. It’s not often we see reptile replicas incorporated into designs in forms other than prints, and celebrities immediately gravitated to the distinctive look. Jennifer Lopez wore the serpent style in Montreal yesterday, and Emma Stone chose it for a Golden Globes party in January. The piece is available beyond the runway and the stars, too—luisaviaroma.com sells it for $7,835. So, what’s the appeal? It’s different, that’s for sure. And how often do we see something truly different? Tell us: Would you wear this dress? Let us know in the comments!

Tadashi Shoji Releases Octavia Spencer’s Gown for Brides

May 1, 2012 @ 10:41 am

After collaborating with Octavia Spencer on her awards season attire, designer Tadashi Shoji transformed the elegant lavender column The Help star wore to this year’s Golden Globes into a stunning wedding dress. “I decided to make the ‘Octavia’ gown in ivory for our new bridal collection after the positive response,” Shoji told InStyle.com of the Golden Globe Best Supporting Actress winner’s pastel number. “I love the way the soft draping envelops the figure while the jewel embellishment adds sparkle for a bride’s big day.” And every bride deserves her own red carpet moment! The gown will be available for Spring 2013.
