Last Night’s Parties: Camila Alves for Macy’s and More!

Jul 27, 2012 @ 4:20 pm

Kelly Rutherford helped expectant Camila Alves celebrate her new role as the face of Macy’s INC International Concepts last night in New York City. “The thing that I love most about this collection is that any woman can find a piece that works for her,” Alves told us at the bash, held at No. 8 in New York. “If you like bold colors, if you’re classic, if you’re bohemian, you’ll find something.” And Alves follows her own advice, as she wore a plum bandage dress, a silver cuff, and heels, all from the collection. See more stars at last night’s hottest events in the gallery.

Found It! Blake Lively’s Sexy Red Lipstick

Jul 27, 2012 @ 3:05 pm

Nothing ties a retro look together like a true red lipstick and a flick of liquid liner. Case in point: Blake Lively’s Old Hollywood-inspired getup. “Blake wanted a classic matte red lip,” said her makeup artist Elaine Offers. “We went with the NARS Velvet Matte Lip Pencils in Dragon Girl and Red Square.” These jumbo lip crayons take the guesswork out of choosing a matching liner, and the velvety formula keeps your pucker from feeling parched. Added bonus: We love how Red Square, an orange-based scarlet, adds a touch of warmth to the blue-based Dragon Girl. Pick up both shades for $24 each over at narscosmetics.com.
