As spring began to bloom, this week’s best dressed ladies (and one gentleman) showed a little skin while keeping things tasteful.

Taylor Swift covers Wonderland magazine, and dishes about relationships (obviously), happiness and the number 13. {Just Jared}

Can you believe awards season is already coming to an end? It seems like it was just yesterday that we were picking our dresses (pretend, for famous people) for the Globes! Now, the Oscars are just two days away and thanks to the recent couture and fall shows, celebs have fresh crop of Oscar-worthy gowns to pluck from!

But over the past couple of years, there have been some new names in the red carpet conversation.
From Erdem to Alexandre Vauthier, click through to learn a little more about the new wave of red carpet designers (so you’ll be an expert on all 10 of them before the Oscars)!
New show reviews and galleries are in! Check out Sophie Theallet, Jenny Packham, and Bibhu Mohapatra.

The parade of slim silhouettes adorned with bling suggested dazzling Hollywood glamor, but with a clear nod to the decadence of no-holds-barred nightlife.

When you were a kid, it didn’t get any better than finding an invitation to the most popular girl at school’s birthday party in the mail.

Kate Middleton may have worn a custom Sarah Burton for Alexander McQueen wedding gown to marry Prince William, but she’s a commoner at heart. She’s not afraid to shop at Zara frequently, nor is she afraid to wear her purchases over and over again. Just like, you know, most women do. We’re not so naive Read more →
