Celebrities Can Wear Anything

Posted on 15 February 2006 by Angelique


Nicole Richie


Kate Bosworth


Lindsay Lohan

Rules for wearing leggings:

1) Be a celebrity, or at least try to look like one
These things are off-limits if you don’t know how to carry them. They make designer jeans look completely pedestrian.

2) Weigh no more than 115 pounds
Celebrities without stick thin legs need not apply

3) Pair them with something awful
Not only does this detract from the fact that you are wearing leggings, but the sloppy+sloppy=fabulous look seems to be working these days.

4) Dress them up now and then
Don’t worry, you aren’t ruining a perfectly good designer dress if you have leggings underneath! You can go back to wearing them with ballet slippers and cut-off jeans tomorrow.

Ready to bring these babies into the mainstream? Get yours at Urban Outfitters for a solid $10. Don’t say we didn’t warn you.

The Olsens Are Grown-up Models

Posted on 15 February 2006 by Angelique


Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen for Bagdley Mischka

It’s a far cry from their days of modeling their own clothing line for Wal-Mart…Mary-Kate and Ashley have hit it big time modeling for Bagdley Mischka.

Trading in jean skirts and button-up tops for couture, Mary-Kate and Ashley never looked better. Still a little creepy in their own “we’re an unstoppable corporate powerhouse” sort of way, at least they aren’t modeling the latest in thrift store glam.

Check out their ads next month in magazines everywhere for more pics of the grown-up and more fabulous than ever Olsen’s.

Grammys Go Wild

Posted on 09 February 2006 by Angelique


Gwen Stefani


Christina Milian


Teri Hatcher


Joss Stone

The Grammy’s, like any other awards show, are usually full of fashion surprises, both good and bad. This year was no exception. While white seemed to dominate the styles of the better dressed (Christina Aguilera, John Legend, Ciara) some of our favorite fashion icons had the worst glam wear.

Bold prints and strange cuts made for bad awards show fashion choices, especially for Christina Milian and Gwen Stefani. While Gwen usually would look good in a paper bag, this outfit was a little too wild for the mama-to-be. There’s just no explaining Milians dress. Yuck.

Teri Hatcher and Joss Stone almost struck fashion gold, if not for Hatcher’s see through look and Stone’s over-accesorizing. It’s not the pattern of her dress that is necessarily bad, it’s the red shoes, the gaudy necklace, the flower…just too much!

Who was your favorite fashion pick for this years’ Grammys? Cast your votes!

A Star-Studded Fashion Week

Posted on 08 February 2006 by Angelique


The Olsons at Badgley Mischka


Adam Brody and Rachel Bilson at Marc Jacobs


Ashanti at the Sean Jean Fragrance Launch


Pamela Anderson at MAC

Fashion week isn’t just about the clothes darling…it’s about seeing and
being seen! If you want to go to New York solely for the purpose of seeing
someone famous, Fashion Week is the time. Everyone from Bono to Debbie
Harry, Sophia Coppola and all of your famous designers are likely to be
hanging around one or more after parties.

This year, more stars than ever are even getting in on the actual fashion shows
themselves. In support of the National Heart Disease Awareness Month, stars like
Lindsay Lohan and Sheryl Crow modeled red frocks by top designers. Lohan modeled Calvin Klein while Crow rocked in a red number by Ralph Lauren.

Baby Phat Gets Grown Up for Fall ‘06

Posted on 07 February 2006 by Angelique


Baby Phat Fall Collection, 2006

Wow! Who knew that the same brand that brought you bling-wear at it’s finest could also be so…classy? Couture collections are always better, but Kimora Lee Simmons has really outdone herself this time. So this explains all of the awards she’s been winning!

Of all of the collections on display so far for fashion week, I think that Baby Phat’s has the most color and originality. Who knew? While some of the styles are the same 40’s-inspired or Asian-inspired looks we are seeing elsewhere, Baby Phat’s is just a little more daring and fun. Somehow, it still manages to keep up the
high-maitenance diva feel of Baby Phat, just without all of the gold and glitter.

Girly, glam and oh-so-sexy, Baby Phat is LeFashionista’s surpise winner for Fall 2006 fashion week!

New York Fashion Week Underway

Posted on 06 February 2006 by Angelique

Fashion Week for Fall 2006 is officially underway in New York
and it seems like dark colors dominate this year. Tailored 30’s and 40’s
styles seem to dominate work weark, while Asian-inspired motifs and
geometric prints are the basis of casual wear.

Standouts so far come from Tuleh and Gen Art, with some of the most
whimsical and feminine designs. Usual suspects like Nicole Miller fell
a little short this season on originality, but came through for tried and true styles.


Gen Art


Sass and Bide


Tuleh


Mary Ping


Diane Von Furstenburg


Nicole Miller
