The top 7 must-have trends from Paris fashion week that you don’t have to wait until spring to wear | Hollywood yohana



Fashion peeps never play by the rules. Just because the calendar says fall doesn’t mean you can’t get a jumpstart on your spring wardrobe. Here’s your shopping short list. Game on!
1. Fringe, fringe, and more fringe. Barbara Bui showed shaggy cropped jackets with row upon row of the swingy stuff.
2. Midnight blue. No, it’s not navy, people. It’s midnight blue and it looks fabulous paired with black à Nina Ricci.
3. Lace effect cutouts. Whether you choose lace or leather (like Balmain’s tough n’ tender take on the mini) this romantic accent has leapt out of the costume history books and onto spring’s hottest finds.
4. Mixing brights and prints. Carven painted a pretty chic picture for spring with its candy coloured explosion of graphic lines, florals and more.
5. An impeccably tailored jacket. Dries did magenta, Rochas opted for sky blue with a subtle sheen and Carven went for the wow-factor in white. However you choose to wear yours, it will be a great investment for seasons to come.
6. Something sheer. Ok, so you’re not going to prance around town wearing a see-through skirt (although you really ought to consider it based on the extreme gorgeousness of Nina Ricci’s ethereal ballet skirts) but you can work this trend into your wardrobe without getting arrested. Look for peek-a-boo panels on tops and dresses that still leave lots to the imagination!
7. Bright trousers. Take your cues from Balenciaga who showed a fiery pair of high-waisted trousers fit for any modern day fashion goddess.

Selena Gomez is leaving the kiddie shows behind and moving on to more adult pursuits | Hollywood yohana

Selena Gomez

On her new album, When the Sun Goes Down, Selena Gomez sings about self-acceptance (“Who Says”), infatuation (“Whiplash,” which Britney Spears co-wrote) and taming a misbehaving guy (“That’s More Like It,” co-written by Katy Perry). Yet when asked which track reveals the most about her, Gomez ditches the hearts and flowers and goes right for the jugular. “‘Bang Bang Bang’ is probably the most personal,” she says, referring to a snarky kiss-off anthem directed toward an ex, in which she coos put-downs like, “My new boy used to be a model…he looks way better than you” and “When I’m out having fun, you’re gonna be the one that’s broken.”
OK, so it’s not “You Oughta Know,” but for a sweet, self-described nervous girl from Grand Prairie, Texas, who came up through the Disney Channel School of Stardom as a regular on the series Wizards of Waverly Place and in TV movies like Princess Protection Program, it seems downright edgy. Is that what she intended? “A little bit,” says Gomez, laughing off the suggestion that she’s tapping into her inner Alanis. “This album’s a lot more personal. I had a little bit more control over it, which is nice.” For the cover image, Gomez serves up full ’20s screen siren in pearls and marabou. “I always do the same long dresses and flowy hair,” says the singer, who turned 19 in July, “so I wanted to do something different.”
Playing with her image is but one part of Gomez’s grand plan to navigate the perilous road between child and adult stardom, where for every Jodie Foster triumph there are a dozen Lindsay Lohan flame-outs. “I think Shia LaBeouf has made a really good transition,” says Gomez. “He came from the Disney Channel and he’s doing really well.” A major step in her evolution was saying goodbye to Wizards in May after four seasons. “On the last morning, I cried before I even put my makeup on,” she says. “But I wasn’t depressed. It was a good feeling.”
