Help You Need! How to Wear Fringe Without Looking Like a Flapper

Feb 27, 2013 @ 4:17 pm

Fringe swayed down the spring runways at shows like Bottega Veneta and Nina Ricci (left), giving everything from cocktail dresses to shoes a touch of cool movement. But how do you sport the look without looking like a Great Gatsby flapper? InStyle‘s fashion team advises that moderation is key. Look for separates that feature a few well-placed strips of fringe rather than an overly shaggy style (like this Ella Moss dress, $228 at ellamoss.com). A string-bedecked necklace (like this Annelise Michelson design, $475; 212-675-2346) with jeans and simple T-shirt is another foolproof and fabulous way to test-drive the style. To see more fringe pieces that will give your wardrobe an instant update, flip to page 316 of InStyle’s March issue. On the go? Download it on your tablet!

What InStyle Loved in Milan This Weekend: Versace, Bottega Veneta, and Dolce & Gabbana

Feb 25, 2013 @ 6:51 pm

The Oscars may have dominated the air waves this weekend, but that doesn’t mean we forgot Milan Fashion Week! InStyle‘s Fashion Director Cindy Weber Cleary spent the whole weekend in Italy at the shows, and she sent us her favorite look from each day, starting with Versace (center). “Donatella went wild with her neo-punk theme for fall 2013, but rock stars and sex symbols alike will fight over this fierce vinyl look,” Weber declared. We can see it! Click through to see her favorite pieces at Bottega Veneta and Dolce & Gabbana, and check back tomorrow for more!

The Golden Globes are only four days away, and presenter Amanda Seyfried is still on the hunt for her dress! “When I land in L.A. tomorrow I’m going to my stylist’s house and she’ll show me dresses,” Seyfried told reporters at the National Board of Review Awards in New York last night, where she accepted the Best Ensemble honor with her Les Miserables co-stars (and her pals) Anne Hathaway and Eddie Redmayne. Given that her style includes a range of designer looks—such as a studded peach Bottega Veneta look for night’s event, a purple Alexander McQueen design, a flirty red Prabal Gurung look, and a sexy Balenciaga LBD, we predict she’ll choose another high-fashion piece to take the stage for Sunday’s show. Her only hint: “I think Stella McCartney is always doing something fun.” Could she be in Stella on Globes night? We’ll have to wait and see!

Salma Hayek turns 46 today! The Mexican actress (and InStyle’s July cover girl) looks just as good as ever, whether she’s walking the red carpet, hitting the town, or kicking butt alongside Blake Lively in Savages. By her gorgeous side is husband Francois-Henri Pinault, CEO of PPR—the Paris-based conglomerate whose labels include Bottega Veneta and Yves Saint Laurent. ”He’s very romantic, and so am I,“ she says of Pinault, who she married in 2009. “What’s really romantic are the moments that are unexpected. You can fly somewhere overnight to make [being together] ‘important,’ but it’s the little things of everyday life that count.“ We’re wishing Salma a happy birthday by looking back at some of her best looks ever. Click through the gallery below to see them!

Pastels are so sweet this summer—not only are the delicate tones a smash for hats, hair colors, and nail polish, celebrities also love the soft shades from head to toe. Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge chose tender yellow Emilia Wickstead, Emma Stone went for sky blue Emilio Pucci, Salma Hayek sparkled in an embellished Bottega Veneta violet sheath, and Diane Kruger looked ladylike in icy blue Chanel. This is a look that is as sophisticated as it is romantic, especially when paired with neutral tones for accessories and makeup. Click through the gallery to see more stars in pastels.
