Filed under: Get the Look

scarlett johansson

Scarlett Johansson (or should we say Reynolds?) looked every bit the bombshell in this stunning body-hugging, lace induced little black dress. While, in the beauty department, we think a little self tanner might've been a go on the leg area, we can't take our eyes off of her retro 'do and juicy red lips. Scarlett looks every bit the lady and you can too!

Lauren Conrad Closes Designer Line

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

More changes are in the works for Lauren Conrad! First she decided to leave The Hills, which pretty much kills the show -- without Lauren, it's just not the same. Now Perez is reporting that she's also shutting down her line of designer duds.

The Look of Lauren Conrad

    She may have shot to fame on MTV's Laguna Beach, but with her brand-new fashion line, Lauren Conrad has become a style star in her own right. Here, LC hits the Late Show with David Letterman in one of her own designs to promote the bonus season of The Hills. LC revealed to Dave that she and ex-BFF Heidi Montag will "probably not" patch things up. Juicy!

    At a 2007 Grammy kick-off party, Conrad opted for a red, ruffled mini with plunging neckline. Her bag of choice? A self-designed clutch for Linea Pelle. (Yes, she also designs her own line of handbags.)

    Conrad chose a shimmery 1920's-inspired shift dress from her own collection for the 2007 Video Music Awards. LC admits that her love of fashion started years before The Hills. "When I was six, my neighbor taught me to paint and draw. We would sew and make clothes for my Barbie doll," she explains. Her favorite designers? Coco Chanel, Karl Lagerfeld and Marc Jacobs.

    LC wore one of her own creations when she picked up a trophy at the 2007 Teen Choice Awards. This cute teal bubble dress was a "one-of-a-kind that I designed specifically to wear to the Teen Choice Awards," explains Conrad. She paired it with a skinny vintage belt and Jimmy Choo metallic heels.

    Stopping by MTV's TRL to chat about The Hills and her brand new fashion line, Conrad looked chic in a navy blue bubble dress from her line.

Stars, stripes and good, old red, white, and blue will be summer staples this year. Maybe it's because of the refreshing American pride our new President is instilling in us or maybe it's just because that's the way the fashion cookie crumbles. Regardless, this easy summer dress will be one of our summer goes to's paired with wedges for a BBQ, black heels for a hot date, and flats for all those summer baby and bridal showers we've been suckered into.

Michelle Obama Loves Her Marias

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style

Michelle and Barack Obama
It's no secret that Michelle Obama is a big fan of Chicago-based designer, Maria Pinto. However, the new First Lady has another favorite "Maria" designer -- the New York City based Zero + Maria Cornejo.

Style Evolution: Michelle Obama

    She claims she's not a natural-born politician. But, when it comes to fashion, America's next First Lady, Michelle Obama, seems to have a strategist's instincts for what will play in Peoria. Her secret lies in knowing how to mix high and low (and we don't just mean her heels). She wears dresses from pricey designers like Narciso Rodriguez (left), Thakoon and Isabel Toledo, whose pieces carry four-figure tabs and are sold in stores like -- yep -- Neiman-Marcus, Barneys and Saks. But she also showed up on the campaign trail wearing designs like the $148 White House-Black Market dress that she chose for "The View" last summer and the J. Crew sweater and skirt that she wore last month on "The Tonight Show With Jay Leno," insisting in her best every woman voice, "You can get some good stuff online."

    The other big winner: Narciso Rodriguez, whose red-and-black confetti-print dress was Mrs. Obama's choice for her Election Night debut. It's hard to imagine it was anything but warm in Grant Park -- where the President-elect addressed an estimated 100,000 fans -- but Mrs. O added a short black cardigan to the tank dress, which came straight from Rodriguez's Spring '09 runway.

    Sure she has a law degree, a high-powered job and two adorable daughters. But to fashionista fans, Michelle Obama's most striking accomplishment during the presidential campaign has been channeling Jackie Kennedy -- the trademark flip, the simple '60s sheaths, the no-nonsense strand of pearls. She wore a tangerine version of the look last spring at a primary rally in North Carolina.

    While Barack Obama boasts that he owns five of the same suit -- a dark two-button by Hartmarx -- Mrs. Obama is far more adventurous, especially when it comes to color. Usually, she favors bold shades -- blues, oranges, purples -- but she chose a soft, cantaloupe-colored dress earlier this fall for her husband's acceptance of the Harold Washington Award.

    AFP / Getty Images

    Their fist-bump got the most attention at the Minnesota rally on the night that Barack Obama cinched the Democratic nomination. Second-most-talked about: Michelle Obama's purple dress by her long-time designer and friend, Chicago's Maria Pinto.

    Scott Olson, Getty Images

    At the first joint appearance of the Obama-Biden families last summer, Michelle wore a purple and grey shirtwaist -- just the sort of thing Donna Reed would have chosen. And, to ensure that she didn't tower over just about everyone at the Springfield, Ill. rally, the 5-foot-11 Mrs. Obama slipped on silver ballet flats.

    AFP / Getty Images

    Perhaps it was a bid for Red-state votes? At the second Presidential debate in Nashville, Mrs. Obama wore a bright red Narciso Rodriguez sheath, which just happened to blend in perfectly with the carpet.


    Getty Images

    Most people have never even heard of fashion designer Isabel Toledo (though she's been at it for more than 30 years). But at a New York fund-raiser last spring, Mrs. Obama looked so comfortable in one of Toldeo's edgy designs (and a Tom Binns necklace) that she sparked gossip she'd be wearing more of the Cuban-born designer's wares if she makes it to the White House.

    Marcel Thomas, FilmMagic

    Though one of her favorite stores is Ikram -- the high-rent Chicago boutique that carries designers like Alexander McQueen, Balmain, Lanvin and Rodarte -- Mrs. Obama likes to show that she's equally skilled at pulling together outfits from the other end of the spectrum. For an October rally in Miami, she wore this striped dress from H&M with a $34.95 price tag.

    The young Thai-born designer Thakoon Panichgul -- who's known, simply, as Thakoon -- calls this his "Tailored Inside Out Dress." And since one of Michelle's favorite tricks is to add a trinket here or there, she altered the silk floral dress with a small bow at the side of the neck for the first Presidential debate.

Flatter Your Figure - Looking hot while you sweat at the gym

Filed under: Clothing, Flatter Your Figure

First of all, let us just say that if you're going to the gym and working up a sweat, you have a right to look as bad as you want. If you run farther or lift better wearing your old basketball shorts, that's fine -- we are big believers in hitting the gym to work out, not to win a fashion contest.

However, maybe you're meeting an old friend there (or hoping to meet that cute boy in your spinning class), and you want to look your best. Or, perhaps you just like to look good no matter what you're doing -- there's nothing wrong with that, either, and we can help!

Check out our gallery for a few recent trends in fitnesswear along with a few tips for flattering your figure. Whether you've already achieved your ideal physique or you're hitting the gym for a reason (or 20 "reasons," if you know what we mean), we've got something to help you out!
