Game of Thrones Is Back Tonight! And Between Her Holly Golightly and Khaleesi Costumes, Emilia Clarke Prefers…

Mother of Dragons, Game of Thrones returns tonight (9/8c on HBO)! Just one week ago, we watched Emilia Clarke make her Broadway debut in Breakfast at Tiffany’s wearing Colleen Atwood’s chic ’40s dresses—a far cry from the leather crop tops and dirtied skirts she’s worn as Thrones‘ Daenerys Targaryen. That’s why, when we caught up with the star at the play’s opening night after-party, we had to ask her: Which character’s costumes does she prefer to wear? “Colleen’s costumes help me get into character in so many ways! They’re corseted, which definitely helps. And I wear the proper [1940s] stockings with the runs. Everything about the costumes made me feel very much like Holly.” As Daenerys, she joked that her style on the fantasy series was “slightly different;” though, this season, as she travels home to take back the Iron Throne, the actress will be treated to more regal looks, like this blue hooded cloak. Final verdict: “Holly uses her costumes as a mask, but Daene uses them in a much more practical way.” Ever judicious, as a queen should be! Which of her looks do you prefer? Tell us in the comments!

Hair Makeover: Katharine McPhee Chopped Her Lob Into a Bob

Mar 29, 2013 @ 10:50 am

Katharine McPhee was a Smash last night on American Idol, thanks in part to a brand new haircut! The AI alumna chopped her ombre shoulder-skimming waves into a chin-length bob, which she debuted during her performance with One Republic. When we last spoke to McPhee, she told InStyle.com that her style inspiration was Diane Keaton, so it’s no surprise to see the star working her icon’s signature ‘do. But do you prefer Katharine’s short look? Tell us by voting in the poll below!

When it comes to shapewear, Beyonce, Emma Watson, and Jennifer Lopez all turn to one brand to guarantee their red carpet outfits look smooth: dMondaine, a line designed by Kiana Anvaripour. These ladies love the brand’s bralettes, panties, and bodysuits because they’re made to gently hug your curves and still leave enough wiggle room to feel like you haven’t cut off your circulation. “They’re sexy,” explained Watson’s stylist, Anita Patrickson, who also dresses Julianne Hough and Bond girl Berenice Marlohe. “They cover all problem areas and add an extra layer of confidence when they’re on the red carpet.” Plus, the brand just launched its new spring collection, which includes a pink-striped bra (above) preferred by Beyonce—a fun twist on the traditional monotone shaper—as well as the signature Marilyn (nude) and Victoria (black) pieces. Check out more of dMondaine’s six-piece core collection, available on net-a-porter.com for $79 to $169.

Mar 28, 2013 @ 2:10 pm

InStyle‘s editors scoured the racks for the perfect spring accessories—and this is one you should definitely add to your list: a black statement tote. While the piece is an obvious classic, it’s also the perfect match to spring’s bold graphic prints (like these Marc Jacobs‘ stripes) that you wouldn’t want to distract from with an equally grabby accessory. To try the look yourself, pick up this Zara bowler, available for $90 at zara.com.

#ThrowbackThursday: Charlize Theron Covers InStyle… in 1999!

Mar 28, 2013 @ 12:00 pm

Happy #ThrowbackThursday! To celebrate our favorite hashtag of the week, we’re taking a look back at InStyle‘s 1999 cover starring the lovely actress and activist, Charlize Theron. “Draped in @Gucci at 23, Charlize Theron was as much a knockout in April 1999 as she is today!” we captioned. And indeed, Theron, who’s picked up an Oscar since then, looks just as luminous now as she did then. It’s good to be Charlize!
