Rihanna’s hooded black dress

Sherry Osborne — Fri, 11 Sep 2009 23:23:03 +0000

Rihanna broke the style mold once again when she stepped out for Fashion’s Week in a look that was startling and definitely 100% her.

She wore a black hooded mini-dress, black gloves, a spiky bracelet, studded sunglasses, and crystal-encrusted ankle boots.

This really isn’t my look, it’s a bit much with all the studs and whatnot, but the dress on its own is fabulous and manages to add a casual touch to an otherwise sleek dress.

Get Rihanna’s hooded dress …

If you want the full celebrity treatment, you can get the Alexander Wang black hooded goddess dress over here but it will cost you $625 which is a bit hefty for me!

On the other hand, you can get this great black hooded tunic for only $44.28 over here instead which is a lot more budget-friendly.

I like this dress a lot, it’s perfect for saying good-bye to summer and hello to the arrival of crisp, cool temperatures.

Elisabetta Canalis’ little black dress

Sherry Osborne — Tue, 08 Sep 2009 15:00:32 +0000

When you hear that someone is actually dating serial bachelor George Clooney you can count on one thing – she’s sure to be beautiful. His new girlfriend, Italian showgirl Elisabetta Canalis certainly fits the bill.

She showed up to support George at the Venice Film Festival and kept her look simple yet stunning in the classic little black dress. To change it up a bit, she chose a cocktail dress with an empire waist.

Empire waists are great because they allow a nice amount of comfort. I’ve always said that they’re perfect to wear if you’d like to actually eat something while you’re out because it has some extra give for tummy-filling food.

You can get a very cute cocktail dress with an empire waist with some nice gathering detail up top over here for $56.

A sexy bonus is that the straps cross in the back – I love the way that looks!

Anna Paquin in sheer Herve Leger dress

Sherry Osborne — Wed, 26 Aug 2009 20:45:57 +0000

Anna Paquin showed off her curves (and her cleavage) at the NYLON party the other night, dressed to kill in a black Herve Leger cocktail dress with a sheer bodice.

She most certainly looked stunning! I like the addition of some sheer material because it gives a little something extra to your basic little black dress. On the other hand, I don’t know about you, but as much as I like Herve Leger’s designs, I am definitely not part of the demographic that can afford … well, anything of his. I’m willing to bet that odds are good you might not either so if you’re not going to pick up one of his ready-to-wear pieces – no matter how appealing it looks on Anna Paquin! – then let’s see what else we can find.

Get Anna’s dress …

While this dress is not exactly like Anna’s, it does bring in the idea of creating some extra allure with sheer material. Yet, at the same time, it’s very classy and is something you could wear without being self-conscious.

That one can be purchased for a very reasonable $27.99 right here.

Meanwhile, if you’re feeling a little frisky and want something super flirty, you can also check out this fun little black dress with a sheer bodice much like the one that Anna wore.

It’s not quite “meet his parents” but it could be perfect for a night out dancing! You can buy it for $98 over here.

Jennifer Love Hewitt’s little black dress

Sherry Osborne — Tue, 21 Jul 2009 19:23:31 +0000

One of my favorite wardrobe staples is the ever-popular, always-stylish Little Black Dress. There’s no such thing as being unable to find at least ONE little black dress that suits you, no matter your size, shape, or personal style.

Jennifer Love Hewitt knows that. She’s been seen in more than one style, but I love this great off-the-shoulders look that she’s got going on here. The dress is flirty and sexy without massive overkill. It’s something that you could wear that would be appreciated by your date but wouldn’t offend his mother either.

For a similar style that gives you the sexy off-the-shoulder look combined with the security of straps, you can pick up this great dress from Macy’s for just $30 – perfect for your next summer dinner date!

Sandra Bullock’s Little Satin Black Dress

Sherry Osborne — Wed, 03 Jun 2009 11:30:12 +0000

Sandra Bullock looked beautiful on the red carpet for the premiere of her new film, The Proposal. She wore a satin asymmetrical little black dress by Alexander McQueen.

I don’t really love that she piled eight tons of jewelry around her neck because I find it distracts from how chic the dress itself is, but that’s the fun of accessories – personalizing it!

Get Sandra’s little black dress …

Shopbop.com offers a more affordable version of the asymmetrical dress in both black and charcoal options. This style would stand out at some of your swankier affairs this summer. You can pick one up for $425 right here.

Leighton Meester in black cut-out dress

Sherry Osborne — Tue, 02 Jun 2009 12:35:47 +0000

Leighton Meester never fails to stand out with sophisticated style and she continued the trend on the red carpet at the MTV Movie Awards. Cut-out shapes are becoming a hot trend this season and Leighton confirmed it by showing up in a sleeveless, knee-length black dress with spectacular and provocative cut-outs along the shoulders near the neck-line. It’s sexy without being overly revealing.

Are you brave enough for cut-outs? Get Leighton’s lusty look …

This black jersey knee-length cocktail dress by Nicole Miller features two large cutouts on either side of the neckline and smaller one directly in the center. Despite its sexy appeal, the dress itself is made with a
loose fit for ultimate comfort. You could wear this just as easily all day as you could for a hot night out! Get
yours here for $385!

Nikki Katz — Sun, 22 Mar 2009 21:45:56 +0000

The highly anticipated film Valentino: The Last Emperor premiered to a star studded audience on March 17 at the The Museum of Modern Art in NYC.

Gwyneth Paltrow (wearing the designer of course!) was one of the many who posed with Valentino on the red carpet. Gwyneth carried an alligator clutch from VBH and wore satin sandals from Roger Vivier.

I love this strapless bubble dress from Kay Unger. This LBD features a sweetheart neck with interior boning, ruching down the sides, and a fully lined interior bustier. It is currently on sale, retailing for $220.99 at Bluefly.

Although there are less expensive peep toe shoes, I like the thin strap of these Kate Spade black patent Lara pumps. I also personally prefer the low v-cut sides instead of full sides. They are on sale for $138.99 at Bluefly.

Get Audrina Patridge’s LBD For Less!

Nikki Katz — Mon, 02 Mar 2009 17:05:04 +0000

Audrina Patridge headed out last night to dine at Katsuya sushi restaurant in West Hollywood. On her way out, The Hills starlet stopped to chat with nightclub promotor Brent Bolthouse.

I love this little black dress on Audrina. It’s a halter top with a contrasting band at the bottom. I’m not so sure I like the tall black boots, I think some slinky sandals would have been more flattering.

Get Audrina’s look …

This Susana Monaco halter dress comes in black, midnight, blue tourmaline, and moon stone (turquoise). It’s on sale for $88 at Revolve Clothing.

Audrina wears plain black boots, hitting right below her knee. This pair from Unlisted, a Kenneth Cole production, have a cute heel and floral design on the bottom of the boot. They are $63 at Zappos.
