5 SPRING BEAUTY TRENDS
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but behold the new trends in beauty for Spring 2010. From lips to eyes and skin, we've got you covered. Gone are the days of dark, moody as we welcome the days of color explosion and glowing skin.
1. PAINT ME PASTEL. Understated hues that are eye-popping in shades- lavender, turquoise, pink, and sage green- in matte to shimmer are capturing the lids this season.
How to achieve this look: Start slow, one color at a time. Limit your shade below the crease of your lids. Fresh and clean is the name of the game. Have no fear, pastels work on all skin shades, from porcelain white to olive, these universal hues make the whites of your eyes brighter. Stick to a lil eyeliner to create the drama and a nude lipgloss to complete the look. (Our favorites: Chanel Soft Touch Eyeshadow in Bambou, Lancome Color Design Eye Shadow in Personal Style, Clinique Colour Surge Eye Shadow in Frost Blossom.)
2. ORANGE you RED-Y for SPRING. Vibrant red adds a jolt of color and panache to your lips. Jump into Spring full throttle and embrace this fabulous hue. Toss out the dark purples from the past, this is RED HOT!
How to achieve this look: Start with a lip liner that matches the color of your natural lip. Mix a red-orange lipstick with a lil lip balm and apply with a brush. Make sure to keep the rest of your face fairly neutral and then kick it up a notch in the evening with a lil liner on the upper lids. Remember this color transitions from day to night! (Our favorites: Dolce & Gabbana Classic Cream Lipstick in Fire, Tarina Tarantino Conditioning Lip Balm in Paramour, and Kat Von D Painted Love Lipstick in A Go-Go.)
3. TOUSLE ME TENDER. Slightly effortless and a whole lot of sexy, tousled, romantic curls are in. Get a modern, yet edgy look that looks like you just rolled out of bed.
How to achieve this look: Blow dry your hair with your hands and not your typical round brush. Once dry, add a texture spray (we love Shu Uemura Art of Hair, Liquid Fabric Mineral Texture Spray). Then section hair into 1/2 inch to 3/4 inch pieces and curl with a 1.25" barrel. After your whole head is curled, gently run your fingers it to give movement.
4. NATURAL BEAUTY. Go for glow. Luminous skin is IN. Gone are the days of the matte skin, radiant complexions are all the rage!
How to achieve this look: Remember that you should illuminate or accentuate your cheekbones, brow bones, and the bridge of your nose. Select a color of foundation that has a luminizer in it to make your life easier. Apply with a foundation brush and blend into your own skin. Dust with a translucent powder to seal the look. (Our favorites: Nars Orgasm Illuminator liquid luminizer, Laura Mercier Radiant Creme Colour, and Dior Poudrier Dentelle Illuminating Lace Effect Powder in Rose Dentelle.)
5. LIKE PUTTY "ON" YOUR HANDS. Nail polish is one of the best accessories to top off an outfit, so with that said, say goodbye to the blacks and navy blues, but definitely try Putty, which is a brown/grey tone.
How to achieve this look: A lighter color can replace a french manicure lovers typical fare, where as, olive skin and darker tones can definitely make a statement with this subtle taupe color. (Our favorites: RGB in Toast, OPI in You Don't Know Jacques, and Deborah Lippmann in Waking Up in Vegas)

FASHION WORLD LOSES AN ICON
PARIS—Provocative British designer Alexander McQueen has died, the company that owns his fashion house said Thursday.
"He has passed away," said a spokeswoman for Gucci Group, part of Paris's retail-to-luxury group PPR SA.

* McQueen Pays Tribute to Isabella Blow (10/06/07)
Samantha Garrett, a spokeswoman for the British fashion icon, said the designers body was found at his London home Thursday morning. "We don't have any information in terms of circumstances," she said.
Police didn't directly comment about how Mr. McQueen died, but said the death wasn't being treated as suspicious.
Mr. McQueen was the creative chief behind the brand he founded in the 1990s and sold to Gucci Group in 2000. His dramatic designs, such as reptilian dresses and hoof-like shoes, were met with critical acclaim, yet he struggled to get commercial success.
Mr. McQueen, who was also once the designer for French fashion house Givenchy, was due to present his collection during Paris fashion week less than a month from now.
"McQueen influenced a whole generation of designers. His brilliant imagination knew no bounds as he conjured up collection after collection of extraordinary designs," said Alexandra Shulman, the editor of British Vogue. "At one level he was a master of the fantastic, creating astounding fashions shows that mixed design, technology and performance and on another he was a modern day genius whose gothic aesthetic was adopted by women the world over."
Mr. McQueen received his training at London's Central St. Martin's College of Art and Design, long recognized for its fashion-forward approach and encouragement of young designers. He worked for traditional Savile Row tailors Anderson and Sheppard, and Gieves and Hawkes before branching out into his own more theatrical designs.
His edgy creations have been seen on numerous red carpets, worn by celebrities including Lady Gaga, Sandra Bullock and Cameron Diaz.
News of Mr. McQueen's death came as New York fashion week kicked off, sending shock waves through the industry. "Everyone in this tent is shocked," said Cindi Leive, editor in chief of Glamour magazine. "He was obviously incredibly talented and had a creative energy. There was a real sense of energy in everything he did."
Hal Rubenstein, a fashion director for InStyle magazine, said Mr. McQueen started out tough and angry—in his work and attitude—but softened over time as he felt more appreciated by the industry. Mr. McQueen, he added, was a master of integration of technology into fashion. "He changed the way so many of us see shows," Mr. Rubenstein said.
Fashion designer Richard Chai, who learned of the news as he was preparing for his 11 a.m. show at Bryant Park, called Mr. McQueen's death a tragedy. "He was a genius. I really have no words. It is just sad," he said.
The British designer's death comes three years after the suicide of fashion guru Isabella Blow, who helped launch Mr. McQueen's career.
"He has passed away," said a spokeswoman for Gucci Group, part of Paris's retail-to-luxury group PPR SA.

WARDROBE BASICS
Ever wonder what are 12 super-easy basics that all women should have to support a fabulous wardrobe?
Undergarments. I am sure you are thinking, “duh, yea that is obvious.” Well I am actually talking about proper fitting undergarments. They are the solid foundation for a great outfit! Without the proper fitting bra and panty, you can end up looking like a stuffed sausage or droopy drawers in some of your favorite ensembles. (Read Tips & Tricks to Finding the Perfect Panty and How to Get the Best Bra for your Body)
Little black dress. Also known as, the “LBD”. This is super essential for date night, post work cocktails, or the art gallery opening on 3rd. Choose a silhouette that flatters your body type. (Read How to Find a LBD for Your Body type)
Trench coat. Whether it’s a chilly spring day or a nippy autumn afternoon. A trench coat is classic and timeless. The best part of a trench coat is they are for every body type. They can create curves for those without them and they can enhance your shape even more. Perfect coat on top of a dress, over jeans, and even a great slack.
Classic dress pant. Pleats are actually trying to make a comeback, however, if your tummy is not taut, I’d suggest opting for a flat-front slack. Stick to basic colors: black, white, khaki, and navy blue.
Classic white shirt. You can never go wrong with a white fitted shirt. It can compliment a pencil skirt for the office, a V-neck sweater for lunch with the girls, and your favorite dark jeans for date night. This versatile piece will have more friends in your closet and can go with almost anything!
Skirt/Short. If you are more on the feminine-side, I’d suggest looking for a skirt. If you are more the tom-boy girl, then an appropriate-length short is perfect for you! Skirts come in many varieties, from full length, tennis, above the knee, pencil, and even flare. Select the shape that compliments your body shape.
Blazer. This little jacket works wonders on every body type and can even make you visually lose 5 lbs instantly. Button up one of these beauties and you have an instant waist line and you can adapt this from the office to the company party in no time!
Day dress. Fun, flirty, and another essential that many might not be sure of. Think of a Sunday brunch, baby shower, or a errand dress. I suggest a maxi dress in a soft cotton in a fun pattern. If you are 5’9” or taller, I’d suggest a floor-length maxi dress for a chic sophistication. If you are shorter, then maximize your body length by going for a shorter hem. Comfort is key, but remember comfort doesn’t equal sloppy at all.
Belts. One of the most overlooked essentials in anyone’s wardrobe. A belt is the finishing detail to an overall outfit. Just like eyeliner and mascara complete a beauty look, belts define your waist and keep you polished!
Jeans. Every human owns them, but I can already read your mind, but I can’t find jeans that fit me. No matter what your issue, there is a jean for you! (Read Be a JEAN-IUS)
A comfortable alternative to a sweatsuit. My best suggestion to cure the “sweatsuit” is comfy leggings and a tunic. Both meet the comfort factor that a sweatsuit has, but with a bit of panache. Belt it and add a long strand of necklaces and you are good to go! With flats for errands or heels for a casual stroll down Robertson. Like I will always say, a sweatsuit serves 3 purposes ONLY! 1.) @the gym, 2.) @home, and 3.) @LAX when you are traveling on a long flight!
Studs. Sparkle and shine. Every girl needs a basic pair of earrings to balance off every ensemble. If you are a conservative, try a simple pearl. If you like more bling, opt for a diamond stud. Either way, you need a great earring to complete this list!
Undergarments. I am sure you are thinking, “duh, yea that is obvious.” Well I am actually talking about proper fitting undergarments. They are the solid foundation for a great outfit! Without the proper fitting bra and panty, you can end up looking like a stuffed sausage or droopy drawers in some of your favorite ensembles.

10 DO’s ON GETTING STYLISH WITH AGE
The most common question that I receive as a Personal Stylist, regardless if they are a celebrity or a private client is, “Can I wear this?”, “Am I too old to pull this off?”, or “What is the age limit for wearing, . . .?” It’s almost like a broken record, so I thought I’d set the record straight.
Is there such thing as ageless fashion? To an extent, yes! Most clothing and how it is styled is “pulled off” by the confidence you exude. With that said, confidence can be achieved through lots of hours at the gym, a little cosmetic help, and by staying true to yourself. If you feel great, you can pretty much wear anything! I say ‘pretty much’ with the exception that you are staying true to yourself and not by trying to be someone you are not. No one would like to see a sophisticated 65 year old dress like some teeny-bopper Hollywood pop princess.
DO’S
- Age is just a number, so think young and it will radiant in your every move, word, and fashion step. If you would traditionally wear black, try to incorporate pops of color.
- Take care of your body. We only get one of them. A gorgeous outfit is only as great as the body that it’s on. Don’t get too skinny, at the same time. Be proud of your shape as you get older.
- Stick to clothes that are structured or a little tailored. A great blazer is an investment piece whether you are 29 or 99. It can make anyone’s body look trim and slim!
- Choose solids: red, gray, khaki and especially black and white. In fact, when in doubt, go for black and white. You can't go wrong with this combo. Think Chanel: eternally timeless, elegant.
- Make sure that you stick to your WARDROBE BASICS and only enhance your wardrobe with accessories to define new trends. (See WARDROBE BASICS)
- Details are everything. Remember a shorter length hem is traditionally more youthful than one that falls at the knees. If you have nice legs, show them off! Also keep in mind, the details can make a huge difference, large plastic or gold buttons can age your great jacket. Opt for a zipper for a youthful touch.
- Embrace new trends with open arms. If scarves are still in style, invest in one that makes you feel good. If it’s bold jewelry, try to wear a piece. If it’s sequins, remember less is more, but sequins don’t have an age limit!
- Remember the life lesson, “Age is just a number. You are only as old as you feel.” So if you still feel 32, then you are still 32!
- Find a haircut that suits your face shape. It's your time to take a chance and embrace your gorgeous face. A fresh hairstyle every year can definitely revamp your look and boost confidence.
- Become best friends with your tailor, as you get older, your body will change. Whether it's fixing a hem or taking a seam in, this person can make all the difference in your wardrobe!

SPRING 2010: TAKE A BOW
Designers added a pretty, nostalgic effect to fall fashions by using bows to wrap models up like special-delivery packages. At YSL, Tom Ford attached satin ties to luxurious fur stoles and jewel-colored velvet jackets worn over lingerie-light dresses, while Versace's seductive corset dresses were finished by bows just waiting to be untied.
Lacing was the order of the day at Christian Dior and Blaak, and patent leather was used for a more heavy-duty effect at Moschino. Loop-de-loops showed up on plenty of accessories, too, as everyone from Christian Louboutin to John Galliano seemed determined to just say bow.

JWOWW MTV'S LATEST REALITY GIRL THINKS SHE KNOWS FASHION
God save us all, . . .can MTV's horrific casts please stop making clothes-- we all know how this story ends. Lauren Conrad's line failed, Whitney Port's line isn't doing well, and Audrina Patridge's line isn't doing well either. Can someone please tell me how these girls become fashion designers? Just because you claim to be Italian, doesn't mean you know anything about fashion.
One of the Jersey Shore housemates is moving on up in the fashion industry! MTV’s very own Jenni Farley, aka JWOWW, is launching her own clothing line.
Jenni never wore that much clothing to begin with, but when she did, she made a statement! Remember those sparkly hot pants she wore to the club?!
Jenni announced the news via her website, which states, “Jenni has created the ultimate in fashionable clothing. Not only will her line be ‘Edgy’ and ‘Sexy,’ but it will also make people of all ages and body type feel more confident in ‘the scene.’ “Remember you don’t want to be that person at the club that sees someone else wearing the same thing.”
With her style, we highly doubt anyone would be wearing the same thing! The line will include custom-made tops in six colors. Jenni is also offering an opportunity for fans who want to show off their “Shore” style to appear on the site. All they’ll need to do is take a picture of themselves wearing the top and send it to her e-mail address. Visit jwoww.com for more details!

2010 MEN'S STYLE GUIDE
Admit it: You've got your fair share of oversized, outdated fashion relics gathering dust in the far recesses of your closet. It's time to weed out the old and ring in the new—and this month's Men's Style Guide can help. Our latest installment examines 'The New Standards'—those hard-working essentials that form the backbone of every guy's 21st-century wardrobe. Think your bases are covered? Before assuming you're totally up to date, you'd better measure your ties, check your denim, and take a second look at how your suit fits. We cover all this and more, with in-depth tips on seven style staples for work, weekend and beyond.
While you're there, check out other Men's Style Guide features, too-- that pinpoints your style type and suggests clothes tailored to your taste.
For 2010, resolve to reevaluate your wardrobe. Here are the pieces every new-millennium man needs—plus tips on exactly how they should fit:
DARK KNIGHT.
Ditch your baggy, dated dad jeans. One clean-cut pair in dark blue will take you to work, weekend and beyond. Want to branch out? Try versatile neutrals like black, grey and white. My favorites: Buffalo by David Bitton, Straight Leg Jeans, Dresdon, $220. (Washed and whiskered for the look and feel of an old favorite, these Buffalo Jeans are a must-have look for a modern guy.)
JACK-ET OF ALL TRADES.
One coat can keep you dry 24/7—from morning commute, to night out, to busy weekend. Find one that fuses function with fashion, complementing your look rather than covering it up. My favorite: G-Star Raw Outdoor Copeland Quilted Jacket, $160. (Multidirectional quilting emphasizes the slim fit of a stand-collar jacket with long, smooth sleeves. Embroidered logo details the color-blocked shoulders.)
MODERN MAN.
Your new suit's narrower lapels, shorter jacket and flat-front trousers all work together to make you look taller and slimmer—no matter your shape or size. My favorites: Ralph Lauren Suit, Grey Herringbone, $350. (Expert tailoring and flawless attention to detail makes this well-constructed look from Lauren Ralph Lauren a great addition to your polished wardrobe.)
DRESS SHIRT WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS.
That billowy wad of fabric that balloons out the back of your pants? Put it behind you with shirts that actually fit. Streamlined but not skin-tight, they accentuate the positive on every guy's frame. My favorite: Thomas Pink Slim Fit Dress Shirt, $195. (Pink stripes on a black background distinguish a straight-collar shirt crafted in the tradition of classic British shirt-making. Contoured panels on each side perfect the slim fit.)
NARROW MINDED.
Today's universally accepted neckwear is not too fat, not too skinny, but a happy medium that syncs up nicely with slim suit lapels and smaller shirt collars. My favorite: Burberry Woven Silk Tie, $150. (Oversized check patterns an Italian-crafted tie with a modern, narrow width.)
STRAIGHT FORWARD.
With a new, sleeker fit, cotton khakis are no longer confined to casual Friday. They now look, feel and function more like high-minded jeans you can dress up or down. My favorite: BOSS Black 'Cagan' Flat Front Trouser, $155. (Subtly textured wool trousers cut with a hint of stretch offer a modern aesthetic.)
CASUAL KING.
Show some style initiative—even on the weekend. With a few low-key, fitted shirts on-hand, you'll look effortlessly with-it, whether you're headed to the art museum or the hardware store. My favorite: 7 Diamonds Zip Pocket Plaid Shirt, $99. (A horizontal zipper above one of the snap-flap chest pockets modernizes a spread-collar shirt patterned in classic plaid.)

For 2010, resolve to reevaluate your wardrobe. Here are the pieces every new-millennium man needs—plus tips on exactly how they should fit:
DARK KNIGHT.
Ditch your baggy, dated dad jeans. One clean-cut pair in dark blue will take you to work, weekend and beyond. Want to branch out? Try versatile neutrals like black, grey and white. My favorites: Buffalo by David Bitton, Straight Leg Jeans, Dresdon, $220. (Washed and whiskered for the look and feel of an old favorite, these Buffalo Jeans are a must-have look for a modern guy.)
JACK-ET OF ALL TRADES.
One coat can keep you dry 24/7—from morning commute, to night out, to busy weekend. Find one that fuses function with fashion, complementing your look rather than covering it up. My favorite: G-Star Raw Outdoor Copeland Quilted Jacket, $160. (Multidirectional quilting emphasizes the slim fit of a stand-collar jacket with long, smooth sleeves. Embroidered logo details the color-blocked shoulders.)
MODERN MAN.
Your new suit's narrower lapels, shorter jacket and flat-front trousers all work together to make you look taller and slimmer—no matter your shape or size. My favorites: Ralph Lauren Suit, Grey Herringbone, $350. (Expert tailoring and flawless attention to detail makes this well-constructed look from Lauren Ralph Lauren a great addition to your polished wardrobe.)
DRESS SHIRT WITH ALL THE TRIMMINGS.
That billowy wad of fabric that balloons out the back of your pants? Put it behind you with shirts that actually fit. Streamlined but not skin-tight, they accentuate the positive on every guy's frame. My favorite: Thomas Pink Slim Fit Dress Shirt, $195. (Pink stripes on a black background distinguish a straight-collar shirt crafted in the tradition of classic British shirt-making. Contoured panels on each side perfect the slim fit.)
NARROW MINDED.
Today's universally accepted neckwear is not too fat, not too skinny, but a happy medium that syncs up nicely with slim suit lapels and smaller shirt collars. My favorite: Burberry Woven Silk Tie, $150. (Oversized check patterns an Italian-crafted tie with a modern, narrow width.)
STRAIGHT FORWARD.
With a new, sleeker fit, cotton khakis are no longer confined to casual Friday. They now look, feel and function more like high-minded jeans you can dress up or down. My favorite: BOSS Black 'Cagan' Flat Front Trouser, $155. (Subtly textured wool trousers cut with a hint of stretch offer a modern aesthetic.)
CASUAL KING.
Show some style initiative—even on the weekend. With a few low-key, fitted shirts on-hand, you'll look effortlessly with-it, whether you're headed to the art museum or the hardware store. My favorite: 7 Diamonds Zip Pocket Plaid Shirt, $99. (A horizontal zipper above one of the snap-flap chest pockets modernizes a spread-collar shirt patterned in classic plaid.)

HOLLYWOOD STRIKES GOLD
Last night 2010's award season kicked off in style as the stars hit the red carpet for the Golden Globes.
All that glitters is gold, and there were quite a few bronze beauties in Beverly Hills to Celebrate the 67th Golden Globes at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel. The biggest names in Hollywood turned out to watch the ceremony, which was hosted by the UK's very own Ricky Gervais. And while we are of course fascinated by who took home the trophys, we're more focused on who wore what.
The best dressed ladies channeled the new spring trends and opted for colour - Cameron Diaz wore red, Marion Cotillard opted for green, Ginnifer Goodwin wore electric blue and Carey Mulligan wore navy.
And of course there was a stylish array of classic black gowns on offer. Courtney Cox chose fashion's favourite, Victoria Beckham, Penelope Cruz sported a lace dress by Giorgio Armani Prive and Jennifer Aniston looked incredible in a Valentino dress slit to the thigh.
But it was romance that ruled the night - Chloe Sevigny's beautifully ruffled Valentino gown, Emily Blunt's rose coloured Dolce & Gabbana dress, Maggie Gyllenhaal in RM by Roland Mouret and Diane Kruger in a hot pink Christian Lacroix offering.
And our best dressed winner?
BEST DRESSED
#1. TRUE BLOODY GOOD FASHIONISTA. Anna Paquin sparkles on the red carpet at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday (January 17) in BeverlyHills
, Calif. The 27-year-old actress was the talk of the town in a gold Stella McCartney gown with a plunging neckline. Anna accessorized with vintage jewels from Stephen Russell. Anna’s fiance (and True Blood co-star) Stephen Moyer wore a spiffy custom-tailored black tuxedo, dress shirt and shoes all by Burberry.
#2. MRS. AFFLECK. Yes, THE Jennifer Garner sparkled in Versace on the carpet. The intricate cut silver stripes accented her perfectly fit silhouette. Can you believe this beauty had two babies? The 37-year-oldactress
looked stunning in a Atelier Versace spiral nude/grey gown, Casadei shoes, Judith Leiber clutch and Bulgari jewels. Kudos to Rachel Zoe, you did good!
#3. PURPLE REIGNS. G-L-A-M-O-R-O-U-S, is exactly the word that will be used to describe the sensational Fergie Ferg. Lady-like and feminine in lavender Elie Saab, she was exquisite and goddess-like. We know Fergie knows how to show off her body, but we are thankful that she chose glamour tonight!
#4. NINE OUT OF TEN.
The 35-year-old Nine actress wore a Giorgio Armani PrivĂ© black lace gown that features a dramatic neckline beaded in a floral pattern, horizontal ribbon striping and fitted sleeves. She accessorized with 69 carats of Chopard diamonds. Penelope, who is nominated for Best Performance by an Actress in a Supporting Role in a Motion Picture for her work in Nine, joked on the red carpet, “I’m not like PuffDaddy
, I hold my own umbrella.”
#5. UP IN THE AIR OF STYLE.
George Clooney took a break from planning his telethon for Haiti to go the Golden Globes with his stunning girlfriend Elisabetta, wearing Roberto Cavalli. Clooney is nominated for best actor for "Up in the Air" and didn't let the rain stop him for working the stands and signing autographs for fans.
MOST IMPROVED: SEEING STRAIGHT. Sandra Bullock definitely has stepped up her style game an we are soo impressed! Thank you to her stylist and the lovely designers of Bottega Venetta. Her best accessory was her sexy husband Jesse James, holding her umbrella while she posed. Kudos to you, Sandy, we are looking forward to SAG Awards & Oscars!
And with the Fashion Winners, there are the Fashion Losers, . . .Worst Dressed, . . .
BRIDE WARS. The usually fashion-savvy Kate Hudson disappointed in Marchesa. The dress is very buttercream, wedding dress for the red carpet soiree. Someone has bride on the brain! The 30-year-old Nine actress wore a white hot Marchesa strapless silk crepe gown, Casadei’s Signature 3504 triple platform pump, and a bracelet by Stephen Russell Contemporary Collection.
NEIN. Nine star Marion Cotillard walks the red carpet at the 2010 Golden Globe Awards at The Beverly Hilton Hotel on Sunday (January 17) in BeverlyHills
, Calif. Marion, 34, strutted her stuff in Christian Dior, Jimmy Choo “Drake sandals” and Roger Vivier “Navette” clutch in Black Crocodile. The lace slip showing in the high slit is oh-so-tacky!
PROJECT RUN-AWAY.
Heidi Klum and Seal don’t seem to mind the rainy red carpet. The 36-year-old model, who wore Roberto Cavalli, in a light blue gown that did not fit or flatter her body at all. The combo of Juliet-off-the-shoulders top and the mermaid gown, is AUF-ful!
LITTLE BO, TINA? Tina Fey, Tina Fey, the only thing funny on Sunday night was your hideous ensemble. Zac Posen should've left that in Mary Poppins closet, because it's not a good look on you. The 39-year-old three-time Golden GlobeAwards
winner wore a Zac Posen dress, Christian Louboutin heels with bow details and Fred Leighton jewels.
DUH DUN DUH DUN (SNAP! SNAP! SNAP!) The fashion maven Cher forgot this was the Golden Globes and went through the Costume Department and asked for the Morticia Adams special. Shakes head, why does she get more unfashionable with age! She was promoting Burlesque, she should've showed her vintage style, instead of a scary motif!

HOTTEST FASHION TRENDS YOU WILL SEE ON THE CARPET

TREND #1: COLOR YOURSELF. Beautiful colored jewels will adorn the necklines of some of Hollywood's hottest. Red rubies, emeralds, sapphires, in bold pieces will be making quite the statements. Look for Fred Leighton, Geary, and Neil Lane to make these Tinseltown beauties bling in style.
TREND #2: FEMININE TOUCH. Luck be a lady, that wins a Golden Globes, that is for sure. You will see some of your favorites gently draped in ruffles. Feminine detailing that is soft and beautiful give a sense of balanced beauty to Hollywood glamour.
TREND #3: THINK PINK. Magenta is a signature color of the season, so be prepared to see some color on the red carpet this year. Not only does this gorgeous shade captivate the imagination, but it enhances the beautiful bronze bodies, as well as, the fair porcelain canvases that it's wrapped around.
TREND #4: BOLD SHOULDER. If the asymmetrical trend wasn't fierce enough, we will see a lot of one-sleeve accents. The couture element of these gowns will be sure showstoppers! Rumor is that January Jones will be wearing a sexy bold shoulder in black! We'll see, . . .
TREND #5: IN AU. Glittering gold is the new black. Dazzling metallics take center stage amongst Hollywood's brightest stars! Outshining the rest of the gowns on the red carpet, these golden beauties will even give the Golden Globe trophy a run for their money.
TREND #6: LADY IN RED. Oh yes, you heard it, Tinseltown's ladies will be on fire on the carpet come Sunday night. I swear, rumor has it that Cameron Diaz selected a red hot number with cap sleeves. You'll see beautifully draped gowns in halters, w/ sleeves, and even strapless. This sizzling hot hue will be hard to miss!
