Paula Patton Sees Spots In Dolce & Gabbana | yohana

Paula Patton
There's something about a LLD (little leopard dress, that is), that just sends our hearts aflutter. It's simply the perfect way to add a little sex appeal to any outfit.
That's why we we're glad that Paula Patton tapped into her animal instincts for the Mission:Impossible – Ghost Protocol red carpet in Seoul, South Korea. The spotted frock was by none other the master of the print (and Paula's favorite design house), Dolce & Gabbana.
With her fiery personality and curvaceous bod, a dress like this fits Paula perfectly. The only problem? We're a big fan of mixing textures, but there's something off about this printed ruched bodice combined with alluring black lace. The pointy bustline would have looked great on a sleeveless frock, but the sleeves overpower the look here.
The idea of the playful pairing is fabulous to us, but we just wish it had been executed a tad differently.

Birthday Girl Sharie Hits the Dance Floor—Material Girl Style | yohana

Tracy DiMarco, Sharie Manon
The last time one of Style's stars celebrated a birthday, it was for Tracy DiMarco's very pink and cutesy 24th. Cut to this past weekend when the older and wiser (she was mum on her age) Sharie Manon of Glam Fairy fêted her b-day at Lair in SoHo, and it was obvious that this Jersey girl's milestone bash was meant for the grown and sexy.
Sharie opted for a sophisticated black-and-white color palette, but modeled her outfit after a racy ensemble Madonna wore at a party in NYC last month. "It was my way of bowing down to Madonna, because she's still got it!" the hair diva told mystyle of her look, which consisted of a white ruffle blouse, silver necklace, black sequined Topshop hot pants, sheer tights and black knee-highs.
Tracy followed suit in a similar thigh-happy getup that included a white blazer, cinched black mini, blingy purse and black over-the-knee boots. Her inspiration? Alexa Prisco at New Jersey Fashion Week. Tracy's boyfriend Corey Epstein, Sharie's bestie Glamo and Gatsby to Go assistant Miguel Rodriguez were also in the house.
Sharie's fave part of the evening? Hitting the dance floor with a hot guy, who wasn't her hubby! So, who was he?
It was Miguel! "Miguel is a really good dancer," raved Sharie. "I hadn't gone dancing in a while. So, I let loose! We danced so much that my feet hurt the next day!"
Miguel Rodriguez, Tracy DiMarco, Sharie Manon, Glamo
But make no mistake about it. Sharie's hubby also made her big day memorable. "My husband gave me an amazing pair of Casdei shoes that were tweed and metallic," she revealed. "I love a good pair of red backs, but everbody wears them so I'm always looking for something that's a little bit different, but just as fabulous!"
Dancing and shoes? Sounds like the perfect birthday! "I honestly don't think I've had that much fun on my birthday in quite a few years," affirmed Sharie. "It was supernice that everybody came out and the venue was really cute

Shackled Shame: Carrie Underwood Weighs Down Her Ballerina Dress at American Country Awards | yohana

Carrie Underwood
Another awards show celebrating country music, another opportunity for Taylor Swift, Carrie Underwood and, yes, Keith Urban's stylish half Nicole Kidman to wear a pretty dress. Well, Taylor and Nicole didn't attend last night's American Country Awards in Las Vegas, so we bring to you the next most famous Carrie after Bradshaw.
The cutie sure delivered—from the knee up, anyway! She looked absolutely adorable in a cream Maria Lucia Hohan strapless cocktail dress with ruffled skirt, which she lit up with a silver Swarovski clutch, big earrings and cuff. A soft updo and dewy makeup finished off what would have been the perfect holiday ballerina look.
Don't look down! Since that warning never works, we feel compelled to talk about those awful shoes! The singer paired her girlie number with cream leather-and-purple colorblocked gem-encrusted heels by Ryan Haber.
Ladies, please listen up! Unless wrap details are studded out, they just make you look like you sprained your ankles—or you're under house arrest. Take your pick. Then again, why would you want to. Just. Say. No!

Rachel McAdams Takes Our Breath Away in Metallic Marchesa | yohana

Rachel McAdams
Rachel McAdams hasn't been seen on the red carpet for awhile—that is, until last night—but everytime she attends an event, she makes us stare and say, "It's not fair!"  So, when she hit the L.A. premiere of Sherlock Holmes: A Game of Shadows you bet the blonde caught everyone's attention, especially since she wore a metallic, long-sleeve Marchesa gown.
The embroidered number she sported may have been conservative from the front, but the cowl, draped back was way sexy. So it was perfectly fitting that she opted for a knotted updo, to show off the back.
Even though the silver confection was already sparkling enough, the actress teamed the dress with Jacqueline Nerguizian jewelry and glittery Christian Louboutin ankle booties.
However, she balanced off the glitz by wearing natural makeup and a soft pink pout. If Rachel showed us one thing, it's that good thing are worth waiting for.

Chloë Moretz Gets Festive in Velvet | yohana

Chloe Moretz
Holiday cheer is spreading—and it's spreading fast. In fact, last week, we saw a handful of celebs sport red-hot ensembles. Well, last night at the Paris premiere of Hugo, Miss Chloë Moretz taught us that wearing a scarlet-hued dress isn't the only way to look festive.
The gal teamed a velvet burgundy halter top with matching pumps and a banded, knee-length, khaki skirt. We love that her outfit is a very chic seasonal look that isn't too literal. Plus, the fabric of choice was a great fashion-forward pick, which can keep you warm.
The babe finished off her holiday-ready ensemble with loose wavy hair, rosy cheeks and a pink pout. The teenager definitely proved—again—that her fashion sense is beyond her years.

Jessica Biel Is Winter White Perfection in Victoria Beckham | yohana

Jessica Biel
With Christmas just around the corner, it is easy to wear red or green. However, another color that is just as seasonal is white. So it was perfectly fitting that Jessica Biel wore a LWD to the Late Show with David Letterman appearance in NYC last night.
Her winter white confection by Victoria Beckham had a three-quarter sleeve and hit right below-the-knee. Even though the sheath was formal, both of the pockets on the front made it feel a tad more casual.
The babe skipped any sparkly gems and, instead, opted for a pair of large hoop earrings. She finalized her ensemble with brown sandals, sleek, straight hair and a festive red mani.  Like always, Jessica looked absolutely fabulous.

Glam Fairy's Sharie Gives Her Two Cents on 2Divine, Alexa's Boyfriend Drama & the Surprise Jingle! Mon., Dec. 12, 2011 1:00 PM PST by Sharie Manon Glam Fairy, Shari Hair fairy Sharie Manon is always a voice of reason on Style's new hit show Glam Fairy. In this episode recap, she dishes on Briella's absurd foray into songwriting, Alexa's boy drama and 2Divine's image overhaul. BRIELLA...THE SONGWRITING FAIRY?: She doesn't know what she wants to do! Taylor Swift can probably teach Briella a thing or two about rhyming. Her delivery is a little too simple; a little to matchy-matchy. Briella, please don't sing ever again. Wow! She needs to pay attention to the person who is sitting at her chair in front of her and not be so swayed by everything that's going on around her. CAUGHT RED-HANDED: Seeing Alexa catch Briella and Jessica soliciting 2Divine wasn't really awkward for me because I have come to expect, generally, the unprofessional from those two. Just because one says something is a good idea, the other one still needs to use her brain! I hope they understand that Alexa was serious. Alexa is a motivated and driven business woman. She's not going to deal with their nonsense.

Mon., Dec. 12, 2011 9:00 AM PST by Danielle Datu Creations By Ginger As much as I love for my boyfriend's 1-year-old pitbull, Hawk, to curl up next to me to keep warm, the recent fuh-reezing temps have really made me feel for the sweet pup. I decided I wanted to get him a sweater. Since the large pet supply retailers only sell clothes for tiny dogs (I'm not bitter), I took my quest to the Internet. After Googling "pitbull sweaters," I immediately stumbled upon Creations By Ginger, a mom-and-pop site that offers custom polar fleece long johns, sweaters and vests ($25-$30) for pitbulls. The owner is Ginger Davis, a mother of two and grandmother to four with pits of her own. I knew I had found what I had been looking for. The various solid and printed designs skewed cool and not cutesy (didn't want Hawk to look like a pampered baby—even though he so is!). And since Ginger was a pit owner, I was certain I was in good hands. It's just always better dealing with someone who has an affection for the misunderstood breed. I also loved that the garments are customized to your canine's exact measurements, which meant that Hawk would be toasty in his new fitted gear.

Who better to ask about styling the très chic but sometimes intimidating cape? "I love to wear a cape with a lightweight leather jacket underneath. The leather sleeve peeking out updates the classic and elegant shape. Capes are flattering on most body types and look best when paired with form-fitting bottoms, like a pair of skinny jeans or leggings and with knee high boots."—Eva Rajwans To get new tips every day, follow mystylequicktip on Twitter.

Taylor Momsen It's clear she is walking. Maybe to a Tim Burton casting call? I don't know. The boots are just fantastic. This look really highlights Taylor's clear—and when I say clear I mean transparent—skin. Isn't it amazing that a person who seemingly eats so little has such healthy long hair? I see she was going for a sexy '60s vibe with the chalky smokey eye, the cut of the dress, blah blah, but that Bunny Ranch synthetic weave, wan complexion and willowy frame look more like a Feed the Children commercial.

From the pineapple updo to the pearls, Ashley's interpretation of Audrey's character in Breakfast at Tiffany's was a bit more literal than Christina's. However, she didn't actually wear a little black dress. Instead, the young actress created the illusion of an LBD by pairing a fitted black blouse with a slim dark charcoal pencil skirt. >>>HISTORY: Salute to the Little Black Dress The star of the show stayed true to Audrey with an LBD. But its structured high neck didn't allow for a necklace. She also wore a slighlty bumped hairstyle. Both ladies rocked short gloves since their garments had sleeves.

Fri., Dec. 9, 2011 4:00 PM PST by Daisy Becerra Kristen Bell, Brooklyn Decker, Rose McGowan, Jayma Mays, Nicole Richie Last night's UNICEF Ball in Beverly Hills, which helped raise funds through an auction, brought together celebs and activists. At the event, the babes not only helped out a good cause, but looked stylish doing so. Kristen Bell and Brooklyn Decker channeled their inner Grecian goddess. While the Burlesque star wore a more literal white Christian Dior one-shoulder number, Brooklyn opted for a mint green Tory Burch gown, which she paired with bright orange Jimmy Choo peep-toe pumps. >>>SHOP: Fabulous finds that help out a cause On a more classic note, Glee's Jayma Mays went for a black-and-white Kova & T dress that was conservative from the front, but had an unexpected sexy deep V-back. Nicole Richie also showed off some skin in her black, leather-bodice cutout dress by Osman. And last, but not least, Rose McGowan showed everyone how to pull off a floral gown in the midst of fall.

Brown/Getty Images; John Sciulli/Getty Images Sarah Jessica Parker Blacks Out Fri., Dec. 9, 2011 2:00 PM PST by Emily Krauser Sarah Jessica Parker Once upon a time, there was a lovely actress named Sarah Jessica Parker. She always made us smile with her frilly frocks in pastel hues and mile-high Manolos. In fact, our princess was such a successful fashion risk-taker (who else can pull off two shades of neon, sleeveless trench coats and plaid-embellished tulle?), that we even forgave her for constantly recycling her beloved pointy white heels. This is why we were shocked that she threw a curveball into our fairytale and showed up to not one, not two, but four New York City events this week wearing head-to-toe black. First, she turned up to a preview of Elizabeth Taylor's jewelry collection at Christie's wearing a strapless LBD with a ruffled silk hem. She then uped to the ante for the Kennedy Center Honors in a shiny, sculptured Theyskens' Theory gown that had major volume to match her slicked-back updo.

Shout Out, Mystyle Blog Inset graphics While the dress was simple, which is something that is very much her style, there was something about the outfit that just made our jaws drop. >>>TRACK: Angie's fashion evolution Perhaps, it's the asymmetrical structure of the number or the way she managed to team the dress with delicate stud earrings and nude Jimmy Choo peep-toe pumps—and nothing else! But what we think made the whole look spectacular was her teased up, swept-back hairdo, which manages to give all the attention to her flawless face. And since the rest of the look was simple, Angelina was able to have fun with her makeup. So she sported a smoky eye that accentuated her pretty green peepers and a natural glossy lip.

And ones in a nude color won't only be timeless, but they will also match with everything in your closet. For a classic approach, pick a design with one large bow on the front à la Olivia. Go more sophisticated by taking a cue from Chelsea, who opted for a pair with a small bow to the side. Now, if you want to go a little edgier, look to Emma. The actress chose strappy shoes that are a li'l sweet yet still trendy. Bonus: nude shoes also lengthen the legs—we're sold! Shop our steal 'n' splurge finds after the jump!

While the hot mama always sports look-at-me ensembles on the red carpet, the Hart of Dixie star is the Queen of street style. And last week, their fashion paths finally crossed when Miranda wore the same Louis Vuitton tea-length dress Rachel had already worn. The actress donned the ladylike frock for the 2010 Met Gala. She chose to stick with a gray belt that didn't cut off her torso, which was a smart move by the petite gal. Strappy black heels, a matching clutch and a wavy side-swept 'do completed her vintage-inspired ensemble. >>>MORE: Ladies love wearing Louis Vuitton On the other hand, the supermodel made the retro-style dress feel little more modern. Instead of a gray belt, the babe opted for a black one, which matched perfectly with her peep-toe pumps and clutch. And unlike Bilson, Miranda wore a bold red lips and sported her hair in a chic ponytail. This might be one of the toughest choices in the history of showdowns, but, by a red pout, we give this victory to mama Miranda. >>>VOTE: Style Showdown: Who Scores? * Kylie Jenner, Taylor Swift * Ashley Tisdale, Kristin Cavallari * Miranda Kerr, Rachel Bilson * Amanda Seyfried, Amber Heard * Hailee Steinfeld, Chloe Sevigny * Emma Stone, Kimberly Perry * Eva Longoria, Victoria Beckham * Kourtney Kardashian, Natalie Portman * * * * Email * Print * Share * Link * Add your comment Categories: fashion and style , celebrity fashion , dresses , louis vuitton , fashion galleries , Miranda Kerr , style showdown , Fashion , rachel bilson , celebrity fashion photos Photo by: Ryan Pierse/Getty Images; Bryan Bedder/WireImage for Vogue Which Movie Star Got Strangled By Her Dress? Thu., Dec. 8, 2011 4:00 PM PST by Daisy Becerra DUI This redhead loves Lanvin, but his designs don't always love her back. Case in point: The black velvet dress with nude, billowing, sheer sleeves that she wore to the Pirelli Calendar gala in NYC. Look closely and you'll see how the turtleneck is attached to the left arm. Think she could even move well? Even though a great pair of shoes might have salvaged the outfit, her bronze chain-adorned sandals looked like a DIY project! The babe obviously needs a helping arm hand when it comes to fashion. Now, if you didn't already guess who the actress is, after you see the picture, we bet you'll be saying, "This is so (insert name of celeb)." So who is she?

Emma Watson
Who says you have to wear pastel pink to look like a pretty ballerina? Not Emma Watson!
The British beauty is the current face of Lancôme, and she did them proud when she attended a press conference for the brand in Hong Kong in a midnight blue Elie Saab dress that any tiny dancer would have been proud to wear.


Tulle can often come off like a costume, but this knee-length frock had perfection written all over it. The sheer backless bodice and sweetheart neckline kept the embellished mini from looking too cutesy, and the floral velvet waistline played up the feminine feel while showing off Emma's enviable curves.
The Harry Potter star kept the rest of her accessories complimentary and simple, opting for just an Erickson Beamon cocktail ring and silver Jimmy Choos to finish off her ensemble. Slicked back hair and bold red lips added to the ballerina vibe. Black Swan, who?

Twist ‘n’ Twirl Your Tresses Into a Braided Bun | yohana

Kim Kardashian, Gwen Steafani, Elle Fanning
TREND: Braided bun
WHO'S WEARING IT: Gwen Stefani, Elle Fanning and Kim Kardashian
HOW TO WEAR IT: Even though braids are the quintessential summertime hairdo, they can also be worn long past the warm days. One approach to make the plait winter-friendly is by wearing them in a bun. If you aren't afraid to go for a more dramatic look, style it as you would a topknot, like Gwen and Kim. For a more demure look, a low chignon with à la Elle will look equally chic. Since the braided bun will make everyone focus on your face, sport a bold lip because it will ensure you look dolled up.

Which Songbird Is Flying At Warp Speed? | yohana

DUI
You know how it is: You and the rest of the Enterprise crew are just cruising along at warp 4, dodging Romulans, picking up space chicks, exploring strange new worlds, the usual. And then your warp core blows. And Geordi and Data are downstairs playing poker and Barkley's in the holodeck and there's nobody around to fix the damned warp core. So you have to go with your second-string engineering ensign. The bad news: She's better at singing than fixing the warp core. The good news: At least she looks cute in her interstellar space repair suit.
