Flapper Fab - Is Drew Rocking A Hot Fall Trend Early?

Filed under: Events: On the Scene, Style in the News, Cosmetics, Beauty Tips




Drew was a vision in Gatsby-era glam at the premiere of her film Grey Gardens last night.


Was she inspired by Dior's flapper-tastic fall runway look (above, right), or was it an ode to her character -- little Edie Beale -- in the HBO movie, which airs on April 18th at 8pm? Either way, she gussied up for the paparazzi in brilliant red lips and a fab Twenties-style Alberta Ferreti gown. Her classic finger-wave 'do and head piece completed the nod to flapper fashion and made for a dazzling old Hollywood, red-carpet entrance.

Haven't even pulled your spring wardrobe out from under the bed yet? You may want to think of skipping over jumpsuits and Hammer pants and going directly to glam.

From Red Carpet to Your Closet: Charlize Theron at the Sleepwalking premiere

Filed under: Clothing, Dresses, Celebrities with Style


Charlize Theron can pull off just about any look. On just about anyone else, her 2006 couture Oscar look would have been comical, but somehow she managed to (mostly) look gorgeous.

The same thing goes for this dress from the Sleepwalking premiere -- it won't work for everyone, but if you've got a build and confidence like Charlize, you can really rock it. Read through the gallery to find out how to make this funky flapper look look your own.

Stylish Costume of the Day: Flapper

Filed under: Holiday Style, Accessories, Clothing, Dresses

black flapper costumeLet me explain why dressing up as a Flapper from the Roaring '20s is an awesome idea for this Halloween:
  1. The costume is sexy without being slutty.
  2. You could probably put this together without having to go to costume store because you might have everything already. (Who doesn't have a rainbow of feather boas in her closet?)
  3. The Modern Day Flapper is a hot look right now anyway so you can buy good pieces (not cheap costume-y pieces) and wear them again through the season.
You just need to slip into a slightly longer spaghetti-strap tank dress with a slim, straight silhouette, accessorize with long strands of pearls or other necklaces, put on a pair of matching T-strap shoes, and the only things you might have to buy or make are a headband with feather or jeweled adornments and a feather boa.

Of course, you can also buy the costume right out off the shelf, like the one shown.
