Hollywood’s Most Stylish Couples, Part 2

My previous Hollywood’s Most Stylish Couples post seems to be one of my most popular, so I figured I’d redo a list with a few new couples. Here are my votes for the top 5 most stylish celebrity couples:

Coming in at number 5,  Justin Theroux and Jennifer Aniston:

Classic with a bit of an edge is what I’d call this pair. Jennifer has always had a great sense of timeless fashion, but Justin brings out a bit of edge in her; which suits her great!

Number 4, is Russell Brand and Katy Perry:

I love how Russell seems to bring out Katy’s “grown-up” sense of fashion. She gives up the cutesy bubblegum pop thing when she is with him, which in turn makes her much more fashionable!

Number 3 is Joel Madden and Nicole Richie:

Being parents has really matured these two, professionally and fashion wise. Nicole has such a fun bohemian style that works great with Joel’s punk rock fashion.

Number 2, and RUNNER UP is Joshua Jackson and Dianne Krueger:

Their style is effortless. Dianne always looks at the top of her game, whether she is on the red carpet or at the airport. She seems to have dressed Josh really well too, because their styles work together perfectly. I know that Dianne personally doesn’t use a stylist which gives them huge bonus points in my book!

The honor of Number 1 goes to: Gavin Rossdale and Gwen Stefani:

Gavin and Gwen have been trend setters since the 90′s- which in my mind is why they deserve the number one spot. They are the coolest parents around; with the most fashionable kids in hollywood and they’ve been together for 14 years! What a great accomplishment in Hollywood. But- back to fashion, Gwen overrides Gavin’s sometimes forever-90′s-rocker-style with her edgy, funky, designer fashion sense. This couple is well deserving of the coveted number one spot.

Who do you think has the best fashion? Do you agree with my choices? Don’t forget to check out Part One of Hollywood’s Most Stylish Couples! I wrote that baby back in 2008!

How To Accentuate Asian Eyes

Jeannie Mai has some amazing tutorials on YouTube, but this one stood out to me and thought I should post it.

I’ve been asked lots of questions on how to apply do eyeshadow to Asian eyes, this video has some great basic tips on how to accentuate them!

If you aren’t going out on the town, I wouldn’t recommend her “drag queen” lashes. What you can do for everyday is; curl the lashes you have OR if you want more length and volume, purchase a shorter pair, like MAC’s 1 Lash.

Get The Look: Jamie King

At the GQ Man of The Year Awards, Jamie King looked gorgeous. This inspired me to create a new Get The Look post!

Jamie is wearing a retro style party dress, which is perfect for upcoming holiday season. This A-Line shaped dress is a great style for EVERY body type; because of this it is my personal favorite style dress for the holiday season.

With this retro style dress, I recommend keeping the hair simple. You can do a sleek down ‘do, like Jamie did, or a french twist. Keep the accessories to a minimum. I recommend a good strong earring and a clutch. Finish off the look with a pair of black heels- either peep toes or t-straps to keep with the retro feel. For a more edgy look go with a bootie or platform shoe.

Take a peek at my Get The Look style sheet, (see below) for how you can get Jamie’s style. Everything on the style sheet can be purchased online at Mod Cloth.

Get the Look: Jude Law

Last week Jude Law made an appearance at the Beyond Time: William Turnbull premere wearing an awesome look for fall. Jude is known for his edgy but effortless style, and I love this look because it’s easy for men to wear and for you to modify to fit your personal style.

If you are more classic, stick to a straight leg cuffed jean like Jude has done, and if you are more fashion forward go for a skinny cut jean tucked into your boots. Maybe fedora’s aren’t your thing? Go for a slouchy touque/beanie instead.

Take a look at my Get The Look style sheet below for some inspiration. All the items you can purchase online at Asos.

Get the Look: Lea Michele in Allure Magazine

Doing her best to channel the sexy ladies of the 1960′s, Glee star Lea Michele is owning the cover of Allure! She looks absolutely stunning! Dare I say, the best we’ve ever seen her?

Do you love Lea’s look? Want to create it at home yourself? Here are a few tips:

-Fill in your brows, no sexy eye is complete without a nice thick brow

-Find a good waterproof liquid or cream liner. Something that has a small pointed brush. Start your liner at the middle of the eyelid, go until just about the end of the lid, then open you eyes and use the angle of your lower lid as to were to finish the cat eye. Then go back and finish the line towards the tear duct. To find the best angle for that cat eye, take the wand of your brush and hold it diagonally against your lower lash line to meet with the outer edge of your brow. Check out a great tutorial here.

-Go for a nude lip. With such dramatic eyes, a nude lip is best.

-Curl large sections of your hair with a small barrel curling iron, do a light hairspray, then comb it out with a natural bristle brush. To avoid an overly fizzy style, finish off the look with some shine serum or mist.

This should finish off your look, so you too can be the next Sophia Loren!

Kate Bosworth Wearing Proenza Schouler at the CFDA Fashion Fund Party

Kate Bosworth made an appearance at the CFDA Fashion Fund party and looks stunning. The Straw Dogs star attend the event with her director boyfriend, Michael Polish. Kate is wearing a skirt and top from Proenza Schouler’s Spring 2012 collection. Head to toe she looks killer; from her hair, to her make up and shoes this creates an amazing outfit! This is somewhat of a fashion forward choice that we at Black Is The New Black LOVE…what do you think of this look?

Yves Saint Laurent Spring 2012 RTW SHOES!

Yves Saint Laurent debuted their spring Ready To Wear line at Pairs Fashion week to great reviews. Head designer Stefano Pilati created classic French designs that are already becoming the object of many women’s desires!

When I was looking through the photos from the runway I couldn’t help but see something I desired…shoes! Looks like the cap-toe shoe trend is heading into spring, and we are seeing a more sturdy heel. I’m sure we are going to see everyone rocking their favorite pairs very soon!

 

 

My personal favorite are the pink heeled oxfords! Which are your favorite YSL shoes?

A Look At: Evan Rachel Wood

Trend alert! If you cut your hair and you become a new “it” girl re: Michelle Williams, Vanessa Hudgens and Emma Watson. This holds true for Evan Rachel Wood as well.

I am loving her style and Evan’s hair so much, I’m thinking of doing the chop myself! To top of her new do, her fashion has seemed to evolved into something worth checking out! Take a look:

What is your favorite of Evan Rachel Wood’s looks? I’m especially loving this last look with the star D & G skinnies!

 

 

 

Fall Print Trend: Snakeskin

Snakeskin is all over the magazines these days as one of the hottest fall trends. It’s an easy print to wear, but watch that you don’t over-do it. We don’t want to do 90′s Scary Spice all over again! Here are some style inspirations for you:

Leighton Meester- Hit or Miss

Our favorite Gossip Girl villan, Leighton Meester (a.k.a Blair Waldorf) hit up the Dior spring fashion show at Paris Fashion Week wearing this little number:

What do you think of this look? A fashion hit, or a fashion miss?


My favorite Fall 2011 Fashion Line

Dolce & Gabbana win my vote for his season! LOVE everything about their Fall 2011 line. Usually I’m not their biggest fan but this season I am loving the mix of menswear inspired suiting with feminine animal and star prints. Their is so many pieces that I’d die to have in my wardrobe…if only…

Take a look at the full fashion show here:

Here is a quick look at some of my style inspirations behind the Dolce & Gabbana line:

Jean Paul Gaultier Spring 2012

One of my all time favorite designers, Jean Paul Gaultier, just debuted his Spring 2012 line at Paris Fashion week. I love how Gaultier takes classic French styling but ads an edge. Models in this show were given tattoo’s, nose rings and some even wore flats! Take a quick look at Vogue.com’s overview of the show:

Here is a behind the scene’s look at all the details and the styling from the model’s point of view:

How cute is the hair? Love it!

A Look At: Demi Moore

Always classic, elegant and ageless, we take a look back at Demi Moore’s best looks throughout the past few years:

What’s In My Purse?

I’ve seen a few pictures online of people revealing what is inside their purse or pockets, so I thought I would be vulnerable and show the deep dark corners of my purse!

Most of my purse contents are self-explanatory but there are a few things I’d like to mention:

Band-Aid’s are a must have in my purse. I like to wear cute shoes, which doesn’t always equal comfort, so Band-Aid’s are a life saver!

Sephora Blotting Papers are amazing. Shiny nose no more!

Two of my favorite drug store brand lip glosses, Rimmel and L’Oréal Paris are staples in my purse. I feel naked without lip gloss on! And my secret tip: L’Oréal’s Color Juice is just like Lancômbe Jucy Tubes, but only $9!

A comb is critical for any lady with bangs, it helps them from looking greasy and separating. Plus, you never know when you’re gonna need a last-minute touch up!

So what is hiding in the deep dark corners of your purse? Would you be brave enough to show us?
