Don't Miss:

Elizabeth Banks defied the don’t-match-your-lipstick-to-your-dress rule at the New York City premiere of What to Expect When You’re Expecting—and we loved it! “This is a case where matching a lip to a dress actually works because it ties the whole look together,” her makeup artist Gita Bass told InStyle.com exclusively. Bass used Make Up For Ever’s Rouge Artiste Natural in Soft Fuchsia, a sheer, ultra-hydrating lipstick that can be layered for maximum impact to play up the punchy pink detail of her Peter Pilotto design. “I was so inspired by the gorgeous beaded flowers on Elizabeth’s dress and wanted to transform her into a glamorous spring goddess,” Bass added.

We’re asking Emily Maynard about her favorite outfit from each episode of The Bachelorette this season, and her pick for Episode 2 is this rose-colored chiffon gown—a look worth $14,500.  ”I can’t even put into words how much I love the Jean Fares Couture gown I wore on my date with Joe at The Greenbriar,” she told InStyle.com exclusively. “This dress has so many unexpected details, from the jewels going down the front to the etched leather belt, that I never wanted to take it off. I like to think it’s a little bit country and a little rock and roll, kind of like me!” As much as Maynard loved the dress, bachelor Joe wasn’t as lucky—he didn’t receive a rose and was sent packing at the end of the date. Tell us: Who are you rooting for? And what did you think of Emily’s dress?

Cult favorite New York clothing line Ruffian is known as much for their coveted fashion—Kirsten Dunst, Cate Blanchett, and Kate Moss are fans—as for the beauty looks born on their runway. Now that Ruffian Red is an established go-to crimson lip color, designers Brian Wolk and Claude Morais are expanding to nails. They’ve collaborated with MAC to develop a collection of super-chic press-ons in varying takes on the signature Ruffian half-moon manicure. “Every season Claude and I start with the manicure idea and it really forms the collection,” Wolk told InStyle.com exclusively. “Ruffian is always about a story, about a movie, about a film. It’s cinematic.” The kits of 24 press-on nails are self-adhesive and will be available for a limited time on maccosmetics.com starting on June 18th. “There is something so Ruffian about the ephemeral, that it will last just for a moment,” said Wolk. View the entire collection in the gallery.
