Lea Michele’s character Rachel Berry headed to the courthouse to marry high school sweetheart Finn Hudson (Cory Monteith) on last night’s Glee episode—and we got the inside scoop on her bridal look! The ’50s-inspired tea-length dress and veil are custom pieces created by the Glee team in collaboration with Patricia Nevil of the L.A. bridal boutique L’ezu, the show’s costume assistant Mojdeh Daftary explained to InStyle.com. “We were very happy with the episode last night,” Daftary told us. As for the inspiration, they looked to an icon: “We used Audrey Hepburn’s wedding dress in Funny Face as inspiration for Rachel Berry’s dress.” The similarities are clear!

Eva Longoria’s $30 Sunglasses: From Robert Verdi’s New HSN Collection

Feb 22, 2012 @ 1:30 pm

Stylist Robert Verdi is launching his first-ever line of sunglasses for HSN today and his celebrity clients, including Eva Longoria, are already snapping up the styles. The Desperate Housewives actress just wore his Joanna rose gold frame over the weekend. “When I gave her these, she put them on while she was blow drying her hair!” Verdi told InStyle.com. “I loved how you could see her eyes with this style. She’s not the type of celebrity who puts distance between her and the world, and her frames reflect that.” And, in his opinion, your shades should reflect your personality, too. “Sunglasses are the ultimate statement maker,” he added. And Verdi made it easy to add to your collection—each UV-protected piece is under $30. See a selection of his lineup in the gallery, and catch Verdi live on HSN tonight at 10 p.m. EST.

The Glee Bridesmaids’ Look: Target and Ivanka Trump!

Glee fans geared up for the Rachel Berry (Lea Michele) and Finn Hudson (Cory Montieth) wedding during last night’s episode, and we were excited to see what the type-A Rachel planned for her big day. Thanks to the researchers at fashionofglee.tumblr.com, we know the hot pink belted bridesmaids dresses that Mercedes (Amber Riley), Sugar (Vanessa Lengies), Tina (Jenna Ushkowitz), Brittany (Heather Morris), and Santana (Naya Rivera) wore are from the Merona Collection at Target, and they accessorized with ivory pointed-toe heel by Ivanka Trump. It’s nice to see the costume designers kept the look budgety-friendly and high-school appropriate—the dress sold for $40, though it’s no longer in stores, and the patent pumps are available for $120 at zappos.com. Sadly, with Quinn’s (Dianna Agron) accident, the “I dos” never happened. Here’s to hoping they’ll pick up where they left off when the show returns in April! Tell us: Do you like their bridesmaids look? Let us know in the comments!

Feb 18, 2012 @ 2:00 pm

Fashion month is in full swing, and to celebrate, LIFE has opened up its vaults to reveal photos from Christian Dior’s iconic “New Look” collection, originally shown in Paris in 1948. Long before runway shows attracted paparazzi and celeb-filled front rows, Dior’s pivotal 1948 lineup changed the course of fashion—ushering in a new decade of  ultra-feminine fitted jackets, nipped-in waists, prominent shoulders and full, calf-length skirts. Go back in time and see photos from the show in the gallery, and visit life.time.com for more.
