Rebecca Minkoff is InStyle’s designer expert helping us answer reader questions! Here’s what she had to say this month:

QUESTION: Can I wear tights with my black peep-toe booties? I don’t want to freeze! —Carolyn M., Arlington, VA. 

ANSWER: “Sorry—no. A bit of covered-up toe sticking out of your shoe looks cheap. A better option? Open-toe stockings, which will still keep your legs warm. You can find some at American Apparel and Capezio. Go for black instead of a bold color, as you’re already pushing the envelope enough by exposing your toes.”

British crooner Estelle is no stranger to the Grammys! The star was nominated (and won!) in 2009 for her song with Kanye West, “American Boy,” which took home the gilded gramophone as Best Rap/Sung Collaboration of the Year. (That year, she had two outfits, both revealing that the singer was in a very metallic mood.) She’s nominated again this year—this time, for Best R&B Performance for her song “Thank You“—and it turns out she already has big plans for her dress. “I’m really thinking of tailoring something,” Estelle told InStyle.com at Russell Simmons’s Diamond Empowerment Fund GOOD Awards in New York. “I’m just thinking I want to do something different, something that will honor my heritage more than just wearing any designer. So we’ll see.” Estelle also revealed that tailoring her own clothes is something she does often. So where does she get her inspiration? “I dream up things!,” she said. Tune in to CBS Sunday, February 10 at 8/7 c to see what she concocted!

Bright special effects lights and heavy makeup can take a toll on an actress’s complexion, which is why Hilary Swank protects her skin with 3LAB’s M Cream! The star loves the protein-rich moisturizer so much, she requested it on the set of an upcoming film. “I love using the M Cream on Hilary. The texture is silky and makeup glides beautifully on top,” her makeup artist, Vivian Baker, told InStyle.com. “After a full day of filming in extreme conditions, her skin is still hydrated and bright, and I rest knowing it’s filled with the most advanced ingredients.” And even if starring in a Hollywood blockbuster isn’t on your agenda, the innovative plant stem cell formula diminishes signs of aging, leaving you ready for your high definition close-up. Pick up the cream for yourself for $260 at nordstrom.com.
