Heather Graham has gone around the world to promote The Hangover Part III, and she’s packed a much more conservative wardrobe than her movie character, Jade, ever would. For the Paris premiere, she wore two-tone Talbot Runhof; for the London premiere, she chose a black gown by Max Azria Atelier; for the BBC’s The Graham Norton Show—where she witnessed the Fresh Prince of Bel-Air reunion—she chose a Black Halo jumpsuit; and for the Los Angeles premiere, she picked Herve L. Leroux in, fittingly, a jade hue. Which look do you like best? Tell us by voting in the poll below!

Runway Looks We Love: Herve Leger by Max Azria

Feb 9, 2013 @ 6:51 pm

For a collection inspired by nature, Herve Leger by Max Azria’s fall runway had some serious street appeal! ”Every season when we start, we start with the bandage, and what we could add to it,” creative director Lubov Azria told InStyle.com. “This time, we were inspired by the textures found in nature, like lilypads and ocelots. We just went for it.” In turn, the looks ranged from cropped tops and pencil skirts to sparkling cocktail numbers, with additions of sheer jersey crewnecks and fox fur “sweatshirts.” To add extra urban jungle appeal, each design—whether studded, sequined or harnessed—was fittingly topped off with a black baseball cap. See our favorite looks in the gallery!

Christa B. Allen’s Lacy Revenge Dress

Oct 24, 2012 @ 1:28 pm

On Sunday night’s cliffhanger episode of ABC’s Revenge, following an “accident” that occurred during Amanda’s baby shower at the Grayson Manor, younger sibling Charlotte Grayson (played by Christa B. Allen) waited at the hospital with Emily Thorne (Emily VanCamp) for an update on the condition of Amanda and her baby. Staying true to her youth and penchant for pretty things, Allen’s character wore a sweet and delicate lace dress for the festive gathering turned tragic affair—and we’ve found it! The girlie number is BCBGMAXAZRIA‘s Willa Lace Cocktail Dress in tapioca, available now on bcbg.com for $338. And while we’re fine leaving the drama to the small screen, we’d gladly take this piece home!
