Peplum is popular this year! Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge visited De Montfort University in Leicester, England today wearing a teal dress and fitted peplum jacket by L.K. Bennett, while Blake Lively (in Jason Wu), Jennifer Aniston (in Tom Ford), and Michelle Williams (in Louis Vuitton) also wore the fit-flare style recently. So, why is it such a statement look? “It has the power to minimize your waist but achieves it by inciting a flurry of attention around your hips,” InStyle Fashion Director Hal Rubenstein has said. “This little flourish is worth the risk if it winds up accentuating something positive.” Tell us: Do you own a peplum dress?

Mar 7, 2012 @ 5:40 pm

All aboard! For Louis Vuitton‘s fall 2012 runway show, designer Marc Jacobs created an elaborate set complete with a real train.

Each outfit was topped off with an oversize Stephen Jones hat (just like at Marc Jacobs’s fall 2012 show!), and sky-high ankle-strap pumps, huge round sunglasses, and a handbags for every occasion—from evening to travel—rounded out the collection. See our favorite looks in the gallery.

Oscars 2012: Michelle Williams’ Dress Took 300 Hours to Make

Feb 26, 2012 @ 7:30 pm

Best Actress nominee Michelle Williams chose a Louis Vuitton dress with a peplum waist for her big night, and played up the strapless neckline with a Fred Leighton for Forevermark necklace that featured 30 carats worth of brilliant-cut diamonds. Fun fact: The dress took over 300 hours to make at the atelier in Paris, the label said in a statement, using silk mousseline and organza ribbons. And the My Week With Marilyn star had to pool her friends to clarify the color. “I’ve been asking everyone what color it is, and they say it’s coral or maybe pomegranate,” she said of the hue. For the record, Louis Vuitton officially called it “burnt orange.” Tell us: Do you like her look?
