The Vampire DiariesThe CW

We spotted Nina Dobrev at the Hervé Léger runway show at at New York Fashion Week, and we couldn’t help but wonder how she’d vote in our Valentine’s Day Vampire Diaries ”Take It or Stake It” poll! When asked which of her co-stars’ hearts she would “take” and which one she would “stake,” she totally surprised us! “I would stake Klaus (Joseph Morgan),” she began. “But as Elena, I would take Matt (Zach Roerig) because he was in love with her and she loved him.” Zing! Take that, Salvatore boys! Now it’s your turn: Which of Mystic Falls’ many male vampires owns your beating heart? Click “Take the Poll” below to cast your vote! We’ll announce the biggest heart-stealer on Valentine’s Day tomorrow.

Runway Looks We Love: Hervé Léger by Max Azria

Feb 11, 2012 @ 8:45 pm

Max and Lubov Azria describe their latest collection for Hervé Léger as “a study in seduction and restraint.” The depiction of this was clear on the runway, with equestrian-inspired harnesses topping each of the label’s signature bandage dresses. Though, not every outfit looked like second skin—most flared and moved with the models. The designers’ horseback-riding inspiration also came alive with swingy fringe resembling horsehair (much like the sleek ponytails worn by the models), leather cuffs, and buckle-covered boots. The long gowns that closed the show looked ready for the red carpet, minus the harnesses, of course. See our favorite looks from the show in the gallery!
