Babydoll Lips - Lady Gaga Wears Fall Beauty Trend Early



In yet another instance of a precocious celebrity wearing a fall beauty trend early, witness Lady Gaga's baby-doll lips, seen today as the star left Radio One in London (with her newest accessory in tow - a tea cup). Her lipstick was carefully inked only in the center of the lips, and the sides were erased with strategically applied concealer.

Many of the Fall runway shows used makeup tricks to create surreal lips (McQueen's Ronald McDonald version and Ungaro's two toned beauties were a few extreme examples). But the pouts Gaga is gaga for were seen at Dior (below, left) and Galliano (below, right). At Dior makeup artist Pat McGrath concentrated color in the center of the lips to achieve a geisha look. Galliano's "frozen Ukrainian brides," also created by McGrath, featured a similar lip shape for an "ethereal" look.

Will we see more celebrities wearing this Kewpie-cute trend? Maybe, baby.

Cameron Diaz in Michael Kors - I Want That!

Filed under: Get the Look



Staying true to her sporty spirit, Cameron Diaz looks head to toe adorable in this stripped dress at the 2009 Film Independent Spirit Awards. Not to mention she's right on trend. 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.

Nicole has noted before that a tunic, opaque tights, and big, black shoes have been her go-to look all season long. But instead of sticking with only bland black, she lets her bright personality shine with a great pop of color.

Origami Inspiration from the Oscars

Filed under: Red Carpet Trends, Get the Look

dior

Fashion has long been influenced by Asian tradition and every few years we see a resurgence of geisha-esque looks which usually start on an haute couture level and take a few years to trickle down. For instance, does anyone remember John Galliano's spring 2007 collection for Christian Dior? Well, in case you don't recall, it was chock full of crazy kimonos, bright colors, and fierce origami folds which finally, in 2009, has caught on with celebs. So how can you wear the origami look that has been so prevalent on runways and red carpets the last two years?

Michelle Pfeiffer in RM - I Want That!

Filed under: Get the Look

michelle pfeifferMichelle Pfeiffer is the example of aging gracefully. Actually, does this woman even age? Each time we see her she looks more gorgeous than ever. If you ever want to give up your youth serum secrets Michelle, we're here for you.

We particularly like this look because it's not your typically little black dress. There are a ton of trendy elements here. Look closely and you'll see origami folds, pleating details, an asymmetrical neckline, and a little brooch to break up the black. We also like the return of the classic black pump after all of the shoe madness we've seen lately (Karl Lagerfeld gun heels anyone?).

Be sure to check it out on shopbop.com because we're sure it'll be sold out before you can even say "log in."

Filed under: Flatter Your Figure

model at Michael KorsAdmittedly, the models walking the runway during Fashion Week don't generally have many figure flaws (unless, of course, you count overly protruding clavicles and the like). But, that doesn't mean that the trends shown on the catwalk can only be worn by the size zero crowd -- there were plenty of looks that any of us could pull off. The trick is knowing how.
