Runway Looks We Love: Balmain

Sep 29, 2011 @ 6:48 pm

Balmain is having a golden moment! The label’s new designer Olivier Rousteing dressed models in gilded short-shorts, micro minis and long button-front skirts—a new silhouette for the label. Touches of brocade and pale denim separates softened the collection’s over-the-top Vegas glitz, while chunky wild west belts and boots offset the white and gold color palette. See our favorite pieces in the gallery.

Celine Dion’s New Las Vegas Show: See Her Stunning Stage Outfits!

Mar 16, 2011 @ 10:26 am

Welcome back to Las Vegas, Celine Dion! The singer kicked off a three-year run of her new show Celine at The Colosseum at Caesars Palace last night, back in Vegas after ending a sold out five-year run at Caesars in 2007. To put it simply, the show is mega—the theater seats 4,300 people, a 31-piece orchestra joins her on stage, and she sings a 90-minute set. And that’s not even the best part: Not only is her new show a concert, it’s also a fashion show! Dion, who is back on stage four months after giving birth to twins, wears gorgeous couture gowns by Armani Prive (left), Balmain (right), Elie Saab, Givenchy and Atelier Versace. “This is a dream come true,” Dion told the opening night crowd.

Jan 19, 2011 @ 3:51 pm

Celebrity stylist Rachel Zoe is a busy woman these days. She’s filming a new season of her show The Rachel Zoe Project, dressing Anne Hathaway for when the actress hosts the Oscars, launching a new collection, and on top of all of that, she’s pregnant! “It’s been a good pregnancy,” Zoe (in a Balmain dress and vintage Chanel earrings) told us at the Weinstein and Relativity Media Golden Globes after-party. “I’m super tired, but I have no time for a nap.” Zoe, who is expecting a boy, also said that she’s craving one thing, and one thing only. “Strawberries are my only craving,” she said. “I can eat a whole pint!” Man, we thought she’d say bananas.

The following is a guest post from one of our favorite blogs, DecadesTwo.1.

The editors of DecadesTwo.1 go through every piece of clothing shown by their consignors and hand-pick the best items for its Editor’s Picks section. (Great gig, right?!) Therefore, this section is bound to be full of great treasures, like this sequined striped sailor top by Balmain.

Score Major Designer Shoes With Decades Two.1

Nov 23, 2010 @ 2:32 pm

The following is a guest post from one of our favorite blogs, Decades Two.1.

Every time we hold a shoe sale, it’s practically pandemonium. Ladies start lining up at 4:00 am to get the best spots and by the time we arrive at 8:30, the queue has already wrapped all the way around the block. (No joke. They bring sleeping bags. It’s like we’re handing out Madonna tickets at the Forum.) But we felt sorry for all our chic clients who couldn’t make the sales in person. So, we decided to hold an online shoe sale on Hautelook, starting tomorrow at 8:00 am PST. We’ve curated an amazing collection of over 150 pairs of shoes from all your favorite designers including Alaia, Balenciaga, Balmain, Manolo Blahnik, Christian Louboutin (right), Jimmy Choo, Gucci, Lanvin, Prada, Yves Saint Laurent and many many more. After all, if the shoes fit, wear ‘em!
