We caught up with Monique Lhuillier at her fall 2012 fashion show, where the designer gave us the inside scoop on the black sequined cocktail dress Beyoncé wore to Jay-Z’s Carnegie Hall performance last week. “It was her second appearance since she had her baby, and she looked amazing!” Lhuillier told InStyle.com. “She surprised me by wearing it! But she’s such a pro, she put it on and looked fabulous.” We agree! What do you think of Bey’s post-baby style? Let us know in the comments!

Runway Looks We Love: Monique Lhuillier

Feb 12, 2012 @ 3:45 pm

Lipstick-red dresses decorated the runway at the fall 2012 Monique Lhuillier fashion show, with crimson pouts to match—a conscious decision by the red-carpet favorite designer. “There’s a certain empowerment that comes from a woman when she feels good in her clothes and when she feels sexy,” Lhuillier told InStyle.com. “I really wanted to bring that out this season. Every woman needs a red dress in her wardrobe.” In addition to the designer’s Valentine’s Day-worthy looks, her collection featured sleek suiting, vampy red and black leather boots, lava prints, and all-over sequin designs.

Chrissy Teigen’s Engagement Ring: All the Details!

Jan 26, 2012 @ 12:30 pm

Singer John Legend proposed to his Sports Illustrated swimsuit model girlfriend Chrissy Teigen while vacationing in the Maldives over the holiday break, and we caught up with the newly-engaged beauty to get all the details! “It’s none of my doing at all—it was all left up to him,” she told InStyle.com of her new sparkler at a Macy’s INC event in New York last night. “All I know is that it’s a cushion cut, and I had never even heard of that before.” And while the couple has yet to set a date, she’s already scouting gowns. “I’m obsessed with dresses and it’s so hard to stop,” she said. “I really love something about Monique Lhuillier. I think she’s so romantic and light and beautiful. I want to look like myself coming down the aisle, and I feel like Monique embodies what I want. But I don’t want to find one tomorrow and then have to wait a year.” Good luck with the search!

Nothing feels quite as festive as a little bling for the holidays and stars are getting in the spirit with some shimmer on the red carpet this week! From the subtle silver sheen on Rachel McAdams’ embroidered Marchesa gown at the L.A. premiere of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows to Fergie‘s all-out shiny Monique Lhuillier at the Hollywood post-premiere bash of New Year’s Eve, silver is striking. Of her Valentino gown, Lea Michele said, “It reminded me most of New Year’s!” Olivia Palermo‘s LBD had a hint of glimmer to catch the light at the Valentino Garavani Virtual Museum Launch party in New York City. The one thing they all had in common? Toned down jewels. If you go for the glitter this season, take your cue from these leading ladies and choose your jewels or your dress—but not both to show off some dazzle.

Gossip Girl: Blair Waldorf’s Wedding Dress by Monique Lhuillier?

Gossip Girl filmed the Blair Waldorf–Prince Louis of Monaco wedding in New York last night! Photographers caught Waldorf (played by Leighton Meester) on set, tearfully running out of the ceremony in her elaborate gown and diamond tiara. OK, so she may not marry the Prince—we won’t know for sure until the episode airs in January—but she did get to wear the dress! “It’s phenomenal,” the show’s stylist Eric Daman told InStyle.com of the look at the launch of his DKNY hosiery collection last month. “It has that kind of bravado and gorgeousness and is also subtle and beautiful.” And he gave us a few hints: First, “She is with child, so I doubt that it’s going to be white,” he said. Second, “It’s a bridal designer who also designs ready-to-wear.” After pouring over images of wedding gowns with his clues in mind, we’re thinking Monique Lhuillier is behind the strapless lace and tulle gown with a sweetheart neckline and side bow. Waldorf’s look is similar to the “Emma” style the designer created for her fall 2012 collection, with a few tweaks, like the ivory hue and a fuller skirt. Tell us: What do you think of Blair’s wedding dress?

UPDATE: The dress is by Vera Wang—click here for more info!
