Nov 14, 2012 @ 10:15 am

Zuhair Murad is the designer to turn to for look-at-me gownshe’s close with Jennifer Lopez, Blake Lively, and Taylor Swift, for example—which is why were pleased to see Kristen Stewart choose one of his pieces for her last Hollywood Twilight premiere this week, a nude strapless gown with lace and chiffon paneling and a corseted bodice. “I’m a big fan of Kristen, and was very happy to see her in this particular gown for her Twilight premiere,” the designer told InStyle.com exclusively. “The mysterious and daring aura she exudes in the film matches the design inspiration behind this gown perfectly.” It’s amazing how her style has grown since the Saga’s beginning in 2008!

Alessandra Ambrosio is Getting Ready for the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show

Oct 12, 2012 @ 11:21 am

Victoria’s Secret Angel Alessandra Ambrosio gave birth to her second child, Noah Phoenix, in May, and has been getting back in shape ever since so she can walk the catwalk at this year’s Victoria’s Secret fashion show, which tapes next month. “I started working out two months after I had him,” the model told InStyle.com at last night’s third annual amFAR Inspiration Gala in Los Angeles, where she showed off her svelte figure in a Zuhair Murad gown. “I’ve been trying to work out four times a week, but for the show, I’ll be at the gym twice a day [for the] week before.” While she’s there, she likes to mix things up. “I love going to Pilates, I love doing spinning classes, I love doing everything that I do,” she said. “What I don’t love is to wake up early to work out.” We second that! The Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show will air on CBS December 4th at 10/9c.

Sep 23, 2012 @ 9:46 pm

While many stars shined bright at the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, our biggest “wow” moment came when we saw the super-sized diamonds Modern Family star Sofia Vergara paired with her green beaded mermaid-style Zuhair Murad gown and Nancy Gonzalez handbag. The jewelry, courtesy of Neil Lane, weighs in at more than 175 carats: Vergara’s pear-shaped drop earrings are 45 carats, the marquise cut diamond and platinum bracelet come to 25 carats, a ring with two center stones is 20 carats, her serpent bracelet, 10 carats, and—here’s the keystone piece—a whopping 75-carat cuff bracelet. That’s a lot of ice—enough to keep the actress cool in the 90-degree Los Angeles heat! Get all the details on her jewels in the gallery.

Emmys fashion isn’t just about Sunday’s big red carpet arrivals—the whole weekend is filled with fun parties to dress up for. And one popular look that leading ladies love is lace in eye-popping hues. ”I’m really feeling lace at the moment,” Revenge star Ashley Madekwe (in Kain) told InStyle.com at the BAFTA Los Angeles TV Tea. “I told that to my stylist, Joey Tierney, when we pulled looks, and she came up with this.” Her teal dress fell in line with other vibrant designs, like Nina Dobrev‘s white lace Zuhair Murad, Taylor Swift‘s red French Connection looks for the iHeartRadio Music Festival, and Girls star Allison Williams‘s neon pink floral lace tank top by Oscar de la Renta for the Variety and Women in Film Pre-Emmy Event. “I love to wear color because I wear black all day every day when I’m at home,” Madekwe added. “So when I go out, it’s nice to wear some color.” Perhaps we’ll see more bright lace looks on the Emmys red carpet.

Blake Lively’s Best Silhouettes: Which Did She Wear to Her Wedding?

Just in case you haven’t heard: Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds tied the knot last night! And while pictures of the blushing bride’s (surely couture) dress have yet to hit the web, that hasn’t stopped us from guessing what the Gossip Girl star might have worn on her big day. We took a look back at her best silhouettes and narrowed it down to six we think she might have used for inspiration: Gucci‘s plunging canary yellow gown for her Savages tour boasts the sexy theme she’s well known for. (And, as the new face of Gucci, it’s quite possible she turned to the house for her wedding dress!) Then again, she might have turned to Chanel, who she’s also lent her face to, for a modest look like the high-collared white dress she wore to a Chanel party in her honor. We’ve spotted her out in super-femme A-line looks, like this pink Lanvin number she wore on her Savages tour, a number of times. But we also know that she loves to go sheer, like she did with this Grecian-inspired Marchesa caftan for a meeting on the West Coast with Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge. One of our all-time favorite Blake looks was the “Old Hollywood” Zuhair Murad stunner she chose for the Hollywood premiere of Savages, a piece that showed off her hourglass frame. But she also wowed in Zuhair‘s teal gown with an embellished sweetheart neckline and train—the perfect addition for a walk down the aisle! The question is, if you got to style Blake for her wedding day, which of her trademark silhouettes would you have chosen? Tell us in the poll!

Kristen Stewart Returns to the Spotlight in Zuhair Murad: All the Details!

Sep 7, 2012 @ 5:52 pm

When a celebrity wants to make a red carpet moment memorable, they enlist the help of Zuhair Murad. He’s the designer Jennifer Lopez turned to for her tour costumes, the man Blake Lively wore after months spent out of the public eye for the Savages premiere, and now, the one who made Kristen Stewart’s return to the spotlight an unforgettable one at the Toronto International Film Festival. And the look is an intricate one! Murad told InStyle.com that Stewart’s On the Road premiere look is from his fall 2012 couture collection, and each matte and glass bead was individually hand-sewn or appliqued on to delicate black lace to create the red, violet, and floral pattern. Tell us what you think of the look: Love it or leave it?
