Louise Roe Tells InStyle All About Her Fashion Star Outfit, Week 9

I saw this Catherine Malandrino dress in the showroom and just had to try it on. It’s way more low-cut than I usually wear, but the zingy emerald green silk caught my eye and bright blocks of color often translate well on TV. I wanted to give my look an art deco edge in honor of spring’s Great Gatsby obsession, so my makeup artist Rachel Wood swept my hair to the side and found a gorgeous vintage Amber hair piece to pin on top. We worked the eye makeup around the amber tone with a dramatic bronze smoky eye. As for the shoes, I figured a gold sandal was the obvious choice to pair with such a classic dress silhouette, so I went for something a little more edgy—a pair of white, bejeweled Jimmy Choos with a thick ankle strap.

Hot Designer Collaboration Alert: Catherine Malandrino for Kohl’s, Coming This Fall

Mar 21, 2013 @ 3:00 pm

Hot on the very colorful heels of Derek Lam’s spring collaboration with Kohl’s, the retailer just announced their next DesigNation partnership for fall 2013: Catherine Malandrino. The limited-edition line of shirts, dresses, skirts, pants, and more is sure to be extra-special, as it’s inspired by a recent trip Malandrino took to her hometown of Paris. “What I find inspiring is to look at Paris with the step back approach of a tourist. The line is the illustration of a Paris dream for the American woman,” InStyle.com learned from Malandrino, who gave us an exclusive sneak peek of what we can expect from the line. “The nightlife and glamor of a show at the Crazy Horse inspired me to use black tulle and fishnet with a touch of sparkle. The chic [style] in the Saint Germain district, just a trench coat and a little black dress.” Expect a Kohl’s take on her romantic runway looks (see pieces from her fall 2013 runway collection at right), all at Kohl’s affordable prices—everything in the collection will be between $36 and $130 when it launches in Kohl’s stores and on kohls.com this fall. Tres chic!

Look who played peekaboo! This week, red carpets were full of very sheer looks, with Kristen StewartChrista B. AllenTeresa Palmer, and Ashley Greene all wearing see-through styles in a 48-hour time period. Stewart chose Zuhair Murad for Twilight’s London premiere, Allen worked Catherine Malandrino at GQ’s Man of the Year Awards, Palmer went bare in Emilio Pucci for Twilight’s screening in Hollywood, and Greene tried lace Wes Gordon for the CFDA Fashion Fund Award ceremony. While these looks dare to bare, the look is actually something many women can pull off. So you don’t expose too much, look for pieces with built-in coverage, like double-layer pockets and panels or strategically placed prints. Most importantly, this isn’t a grab-and-go shopping venture—the fabric has little hanger appeal, so you must try it on! 

Plus, see another trend we love, black and white!

Instant Fashion Week Trend: Mixed Berries

Feb 17, 2011 @ 8:59 am

Reds, pinks and purples are the standout colors so far during New York Fashion Week‘s fall collections. Reds and pinks pop on the runway in rich shades of cherry, cranberry, and raspberry (shown left at Prabal Gurung), while  we’re seeing purples in vibrant plum and grape, as seen at Derek Lam (shown right). And not only have the hues stood on their own, but mixing them together in unexpected pairings offers a new twist on berry brights (shown center at Diane Von Furstenberg).

Inside the Screen Actors’ Guild Awards

Jan 31, 2011 @ 11:13 am

Celebrities mingled at the cocktail reception during the 17th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards at the Shrine Auditorium. The crowd included Modern Family‘s Julie Bowen, who worked up the nerve to wear pants to an awards show in a jumpsuit by Catherine Malandrino, after expressing her desire to do so last year. Bowen caught up with co-star Sofia Vergara, who wore a bright blue Roberto Cavalli gown, inside the ceremony. See more stars inside the awards show in InStyle’s Parties gallery.

The People’s Choice Awards kicked off awards season last night with a burst of shine. Kristen Stewart tried the metallic trend with a gold Reem Acra look, Kim Kardashian opted for a strapless Catherine Malandrino dress, Vanessa Williams went for a darker hue in a dress by Tadashi Shoji and Lisa Edelstein chose a silver look by Farah Angsana, which shimmered as she accepted her award for Favorite TV Drama Actress. “I’ve never been nominated before, so I’m really honored,” she told us before the show. “What’s special is that it’s the fans voting.” And her fans often have interesting questions when they meet her. “One woman asked me if I wore aging makeup and a fat suit on television,” Edelstein said. “Which the answer is ‘no’ to both.” See all the red carpet looks from the People’s Choice Awards—including Jennifer Aniston, Natalie Portman and Katy Perry—in the gallery.

Just because Gossip Girl isn’t returning with new episodes until next year doesn’t mean that Serena, Blair, Nate, Chuck and Dan are completely off the radar. The hot young crew has been spotted all over New York filming new episodes, and given the chillier-than-usual temperatures, they’re bundling up in cute winter clothes. We’ve spotted Blake Lively piling on layers upon layers of shearling, scarves and long sweaters, including a Catherine Malandrino vest and jacket, for her role as Serena van der Woodsen, while Leighton Meester is rocking printed tights and ivory coats befitting of Blair Waldorf. (And are those Uggs we see on Blair?) We can’t wait to see what else these ladies wear when the show returns at 8 p.m. on January 24th! Check back here for all the insider fashion details.
