The contestants were feeling the pressure this week on The Voice! As we saw two singers say goodbye, whittling the group down to eight, we also got the inside scoop on Coach Shakira‘s two looks. In order to embrace the heat of competition (and the blazing temperatures in Los Angeles), Shakira went for full, sexy curls both nights to contrast with her neutral sparkling top by Amen on Monday and her glam Roberto Cavalli design on Tuesday. “It’s been pretty hot in L.A. and we wanted to embrace her natural texture,” the judge’s stylist Kim Kimble told InStyle.com. ”She has naturally thick, curly hair so this look was easy and effortless.” To achieve Shakira’s ‘do, Kimble added a bit of serum to her air-dried hair. Just like that, she was ready to take her seat in her big red coach chair. Gorgeous!

The Cannes Film Festival red carpet is known for its parade of glamorous dresses. Repeats are rare. That’s why we’re particularly intrigued by the Ulyana Sergeenko silhouette that become the most popular at this year’s festival, with three stars choosing the same look by the Russian designer. While the base of the dress is the same for each (off the shoulders with a deep plunging neckline), the bottoms vary slightly. Chinese actress Zhang Yuqi’s green version had a ballgown skirt, Fan Bingbing’s ice blue design had a train, and Natalia Vodianova‘s red tea-length style hit just above her ankles. So, whose look do you prefer? Tell us by voting in the poll below!

The Feel-Good Story Behind Pippa Middleton’s Floral Dress

May 23, 2013 @ 12:15 pm

Pippa Middleton believes in fashion for a cause! Last night, the royal-in-law attended the Waitrose summer party at London’s Natural History Museum wearing a pink floral dress by Tabitha Webb, a piece the designer created to raise money for Fashion Targets Breast Cancer. The blossom-covered design launched exclusively on my-wardrobe.com last month with 30% of each sale going directly to the charity, an initiative started by the CFDA Foundation to raise awareness and funds to provide more resources, education, and health care to those affected by breast cancer. “To work with a charity that touches so many women throughout their lives is an honor,” Webb said of creating the look. The dress was on sale for $392 at my-wardrobe.com—but it immediately sold out when Pippa wore it, a spokesperson for the site told InStyle.com. Pippa power prevails!
