Couture in the City reader Shara asks:

Q:  Will hot pink lips be trendy for spring/summer of 2009?

A: Hmmm…that’s a tough one Shara. Hot pink lips were trendy in the spring of ‘07, and are making huge waves now (Rihanna is always softening her edgy look with hot pink lips), so it’s hard to say. If you are itching to try a hot pink trend, I would do it now, at the tail end of summer and before winter sets in. Check out your local pharmacy and grab a few different hot pink shades to see what works best with your skin tone. You can work a hot pink lip right now in a very fierce way with a smoky eye and a sleek but chic ensemble.

My most favorite hot pink lip gloss is no longer available (the MAC Fafi edition…so perfectly punk), but you can still snap up some great pink shades from MAC. For a very high fashion look, go for a paler hot pink like Wonderstruck or Ensign from MAC:

MAC Lustreglass, $14.00

The lighter shades of hot pink that were seen on the runway are the perfect compliment to winter florals, grays and muted shades of plum and navy. For a softer fall hot pink look, keep the rest of your color palette muted and make your lips the focal point.

My makeup trend forecast for fall calls for peachy lip glosses (just call it a hunch) so enjoy your pink lips now!

Got an insider tip on your favorite hot pink lip glosses? Leave a comment and let us know which is your favorite and why (not sticky, long lasting, tastes like strawberries, whatever…). Happy glossing!

When Rihanna first came out on the scene, it seemed as though her quiet soulful island tunes would keep her on the pop charts. Never in our wildest dreams would we imagine this young singing starlet to turn into a fashion and beauty diva.

Good girl gone bad. The before and after looks of Rihanna’s many beauty changes over the last few years.

This ‘good girl, gone bad’ has sure taken us all by surprise. Now if that’s not all she took another hair style leap by donning the classic ‘Halle Berry’ short crop.

Rihanna opts from the classic bob to the short crop look. Affirming her bad girl image.

But Rihanna has also become a stylish fashion icon on the red carpet. We have seen her transform literary into an over night sensation.

Rihanna opts for red carpet hot pink - in this delectable number

Looking beautiful in silk and green

Keeping it classic and up to date in grey

Rihanna has kept us all guessing up to now. From her very flamboyant stage costumes. To her very young, hip and distinguished red carpet fashion. Rihanna is blazing through her looks to find the one that fits her the best. As we all know those fashion-rockers are constantly changing their style and looks. Let’s hope that Rihanna’s future of fashion and style will go towards the classic and timeless, alongside her music.

Whether you are a little bit country (or a little bit rock n’ roll), every fashionista will benefit from some Western-inspired pieces this fall. Okay, so cowgirl chic isn’t exactly revolutioinary; many will agree that it was Sienna Miller who created a Western/Boho renaissance a few years ago. Those styles, which were typically limited to just summer wear, are now translating into fabulous fall fashions.

Ready to take the reigns? Then saddle up and add these goodies to your must-have list for your fall wardrobe:

Boots

The easiest and most versatile Western-inspired piece you can buy has to be a pair of boots. The hottest ones of the season are fringy and covered in luxe suede. Pair these with anything from jeans to skirts to add instant cowgirl flair.

Plaid

While J-Simp has been embracing her love for plaid for months now, it’s just now catching our attention for fall wear. Look for plaid shirt dresses and button-ups for a casual chic look. I especially love what Rihanna has done with hers, wearing it under a snug vest to give her Western wear an edgier appeal.

Also look for brown suede bags and belts with antique hardware to amplify your look. Denim vests (and any denim in general) married with gauzy white cotton tops are perfect for late summer/early fall transitions. So, whether you are looking for a way to resurrect some of your old summer favorites, or simply love the Western wear look for fall, take some cues from these cowgirl inspired styles to put a little yee-haw into your look.
