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.

Isn’t It Nice to Be Beyonce: See the Singer’s $5,500 Custom Sneaker Wedges

Mar 21, 2013 @ 2:35 pm

PMK Customs considers itself the “Maybach” of the couture sneaker world, which is why when Jay-Z and Beyonce wanted their kicks customized, they turned to founder Andre Scott. The brand crafted Jay’s red Nike-striped “Brooklyn Zoo” Jordans out of a hybrid of luxury reptile skins ($2,500), and Queen Bey liked them so much, she asked the designer to put a fresh twist on her Isabel Marant wedges, too. That’s how her creamy “King Bey” shoes came to be, an ostrich/crocodile/anaconda mix stitched together with gold thread ($5,500). “[The customization] mimics the southern belle’s sweet and fierce persona,” Scott told InStyle.com. “They are two very humble and inspirational people, and to have them part of our network is a true blessing.” Especially when the customers are so impressed by extreme attention to detail—Johnson said he had no edits to the specialized pieces. Check out more of PMK’s custom works at pmkcutoms.com and follow their Twitter @pmkcustoms.

It’s #ThrowbackThursday! We’re Remembering When Beyonce Was InStyle’s Cover Girl

Mar 14, 2013 @ 3:30 pm

We never put our love for Beyonce to the left! And that’s why, in honor of #ThrowbackThursday, we posted this fun shot to @InStyleMagazine’s Instagram account, showing off Mrs. Sean Carter’s November 2008 InStyle cover. Then, the superstar told us, “I am happy right now and this album has a lot of love songs that talk about my emotions—me naked with my heart exposed.” And she has plenty more to be happy about—she just celebrated her daughter, Blue Ivy‘s, first birthday. Happy Thursday, @baddiebey!

It’s not Coke vs. Pepsi, it’s Marc vs. Beyonce! (Jeez, even their campaigns look the same, see above.) So, fizzy soda bubbles aside, who do you choose? Vote below!

Are You Watching Beyoncé’s Life Is But A Dream Documentary Tonight?

Feb 16, 2013 @ 9:00 am

After months of waiting, Beyoncé’s self-directed documentary Life Is But A Dream finally airs tonight at 9/8c on HBO! The biopic takes viewers behind the looking glass, to give Queen Bey’s loyal Beyhive a glimpse into what it really takes to make Houston-born Beyoncé Giselle Knowles Carter into their favorite superstar. (First, Beyoncé will sit down with Oprah to talk about the documentary, her life with Jay-Z, and beyond on Oprah’s Next Chapter, at 8/7c on OWN.) To coincide with the film’s debut, Beyoncé also partnered with HBO to start an Instagram campaign, encouraging fans to hand-write their dreams on a piece of paper with the hashtag #LifeIsButADream. Bey will pick her favorite from the submissions and respond with a customized, handwritten note of her own. “I love my job,” the InStyle cover girl told us. “It’s a tough job. People see the final result and have no idea about the endless hours of work put in to achieve it. I’m a perfectionist, and I won’t stop until everything looks just right. But in the end, I love what I do.” Tonight we’ll get a peek at all those endless hours! Tune in at 9/8c to see what it’s like to live in Bey’s world.
