Kate Bosworth’s Stylist Cher Coulter: ‘Don’t Be a Wallflower!’

Dec 29, 2012 @ 2:00 pm

It can be a daunting task to find the perfect outfit for New Year’s Eve, which is why we turned to celebrity stylist Cher Coulter for advice. “The holiday season is no time to be a wallflower,” said the stylist, who works with Kate Bosworth and Elizabeth Olsen. “If your dress, jewelry, and shoes are standout, keep the hair sleek and the make up pretty and not too heavy.” For those who prefer to tone it down, she suggests striking a different balance. “If you decide on more understated holiday attire, then make a statement with a strong red lip and maybe a more interesting blowout or up-do.” Her bottom line: Don’t be afraid to mix it up!

Need a New Year’s Eve Outfit? Try A Jumpsuit!

Dec 29, 2012 @ 10:30 am

If you haven’t already picked out your outfit for New Year’s Eve, it’s time to start the last-minute search! Sure, there are always the standbys (something sparkly, something black, and something snug), but if you want something different, consider a jumpsuit. ”For the daring, try a jumpsuit,” say styling duo (and sisters!) Wendi and Nicole, who work with Elizabeth Banks and Octavia Spencer. “Height is a must for shoes, but make sure they are comfortable so you can dance the night away.” Go for it, ladies!
