Sunday shoppers, rejoice: Celebrity stylist Kate Young‘s collaborative collection for mega-retailer Target hits stores and target.com today! Fans of the eclectic line already include stars like Michelle Williams, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Kate Mara, who all wore her designs to the collection’s prom-inspired New York launch party this week. “I’ve seen a lot of the pieces from the collection and they’re all really, really different,” Mara told InStyle.com at the launch. “I was choosing between this dress and another dress that doesn’t even look like it was by the same designer, but both equally beautiful. I really appreciate that.” The creator herself shared her secret favorite piece from the collection with InStyle: “I’ve had a long relationship with these clothes at this point, and I think probably my favorite is the bodysuit because it’s so versatile,” Young said of the polka dot suit. “I like to wear the bodysuit under a blazer [like Michelle did]. I also like to wear it under a dress like I am now.” So fun! Click here to see a full preview of the line, and head to target.com to shop the collection now.

Found It! Kate Mara’s Melon Lip Color

Apr 10, 2013 @ 2:30 pm

Not quite pink, but more intense than the traditional nude, the cantaloupe-hued lipstick Kate Mara wore to the Kate Young for Target launch amped up her natural lip color without overshadowing her delicate silver eye. “A warm-toned melon lip is a great way to warm up fair skin and add an understated pop of color to the face,” said Mara’s makeup artist Nick Barose, who used the NARS Satin Lip Pencil in Lodhi. “I used an orangey tint on her cheeks, then matched it with a jumbo lip pencil that creates a fresh sheen on the lips.” The user-friendly stylo makes applying the color as easy as signing your name, and the versatile hue pairs well with both smoky eyes and minimal makeup alike. Pick up the color for $25 at narscosmetics.com.

We went to prom with Kate Young last night! We were just one of the celebrity stylist’s many dates—along with her guests-slash-clients Kate MaraMichelle Williams, and Maggie Gyllenhaal—for an evening that included disco balls, pink champagne, and streamer-covered bleachers at the elementary school-turned-event venue The Old School in New York to celebrate the new Kate Young for Target collaboration. “The collection was inspired mainly by the magic of getting dressed up and the feeling of hope that comes with putting on a fancy dress and going out for an evening,” Young told InStyle.com of the line, which is full of pieces for every spring party, from weddings to prom. Gyllenhaal, along with the rest of the star guests, served as celebrity models showing off the designs while grooving to tunes spun by DJ Atlanta de Cadenet Taylor, daughter of Duran Duran’s John Taylor. “[Young’s] own personal style is really down to earth, smart, and sexy,” said Gyllenhaal. “It really comes through in the clothes.” Shop the festive collection at Target stores and online at target.com on April 14.

St. Patrick’s Day Style: How to Wear Green Like the Stars

If you’re stepping out for St. Patrick’s Day this weekend, then we know you’ll want to wear your green proudly! To make sure your look stays chic no matter where you go to celebrate, we’ve rounded up some of our favorite green looks, as modeled by celebrities—no “Kiss Me” tee required. We love the boldness of Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge‘s kelly green Mulberry frock—and the solid block of color is a slimming trick! But Jessica Alba proved that a splash of green can make a strong statement, too, by grounding her olive pants with a neutral top and accessories. If head-to-toe brights aren’t your thing, take a cue from Selena Gomez, who paired her metallic mini with peach Nicholas Kirkwood pumps, or Kate Mara, who opted for a subtle mint green Peter Som sheath. Each look is unique, so pick the one that best matches your party venue. And may you live large in Pantone’s Color of the Year this weekend!

Plus, see how more celebrities are wearing green this season.
