'It' Girls To Watch In 2011

Posted 12/31/10 11:00 am EST by in Divas, Trends

You may not know their names yet, but odds are by the end of 2011 these gorgeous/talented/stylish young women will be household fixtures. Meet singers like Glee star Amber Riley and actresses including Chloe Moretz, star of Let Me In--just two ladies in a crop of beauties poised to take the world by storm (and look ultra glam while they're doing it!).

AMBER RILEY: For a girl who tried out (and got cut) from American Idol, Amber isn't doing too bad for herself. This Glee girl's love for fashion isn't just an act either. Check out the red carpet-matching pumps she wore to the Glee season premiere!

CHLOE MORETZ: At 13-years-old Chloe Moretz has already starred in more movies, including Kick-Ass and Let Me In, than some have in a lifetime. But, making movies isn't her only passion. This fresh-faced actress also has a thing for cute clothes...can't you tell?!

ELLE FANNING: The little sister of actress Dakota Fanning is a rising star on both the acting and fashion fronts. This year alone, Elle was snapped wearing big-name designers such as Marchesa, Valentino, and Rodarte!

EMMA STONE: This funny and feisty redhead isn't your average actress. When Emma isn't making us laugh out loud in films like Superbad and Zombieland, she's stunning us with her elegant taste in fashion, which includes festive frocks and leather minis.

EMMA WATSON: She may have finished filming the final installment of the Harry Potter series this year, but we have a feeling Emma Watson's career has just begun. She's currently pursuing a degree in history at Brown University and she recently nabbed a Burberry campaign, too.

HEATHER MORRIS: Initially a background character, Heather Morris became a Glee regular during the show's latest season. She stepped out front and center on the fashion stage, too—we especially loved the sparkly gold column dress that she rocked at last year's Emmy Awards.

KAT GRAHAM: Singer and Vampire Diaries star Kat Graham might be a newcomer on the scene, but she dresses like a longtime professional! We can't get over the way she effortlessly mixes and matches colors, patterns, and styles—check out how she paired a strapless leotard with sneakers! Brilliant!!

VICTORIA JUSTICE: This Nickelodeon star (she's known best for Victorious but has also appeared on Zoey 101) has an acting and singing career under her belt, and this year Victoria even nabbed a Teen Vogue cover! When it comes to fashion, it's all about elegance for this brunette beauty—feminine frocks in romantic colors and pretty pleating details.

WILLOW SMITH: This stylish starlet, who is the daughter of Will and Jada Pinkett Smith, comes from a family of talented folks. But Willow made solo headlines this year with her first single, "Whip My Hair," in which the ten-year-old showed off fierce boots, amazing nail art, and five different colorful hairstyles!

ZOE KRAVITZ: After she starred as the face of Vera Wang's Princess fragrance last year, Zoe Kravitz continued her modeling career with a campaign for Alexander Wang's affordable T-shirt line in 2010. And the actress (and spawn of Lisa Bonet and Lenny Kravitz) is certainly no stranger to high fashion—she showed off a number of ultra glam looks on the red carpet this year.

MTV Style Best Of 2010: Wildest Performance Outfits

Posted 12/29/10 3:30 pm EST by in Divas, Performance Outfits

Each day, through New Year's Eve, we'll bring you a list featuring some of the most unforgettable looks of 2010.

The red carpet gives musicians a chance to go glam, but the stage is where performers get to show off their true artistic style. And this year saw a number of fun trends in performance wear, including fluorescent colors from M.I.A., couture-like gowns from Florence Welch, and tons of leopard print and glitter from Ke$ha (who else?!). Here, we take a look back at the 2010 performance outfits that got us talking.

FLORENCE AND THE MACHINE: Florence Welch of Florence and the Machine performed at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards in a gorgeous, Grecian-inspired peach gown. The feminine frock had lovely pleating details throughout, and Florence looked almost Goddess-like in the romantic dress.

LADY GAGA: Oh, Lady Gaga. She never disappoints us when it comes to fashion, does she?! The singer looked like a star (a shooting star, specifically) at the Lollapalooza music festival in Chicago in her sculpture minidress.

KE$HA: Known for her "garbage chic" flair, Ke$ha rocked patterned tights, a retro tee, and leopard print gloves on stage at a New York City concert in August. Even though we'd never sport the outfit ourselves, we definitely give Ke$ha props for her boldness!

KATY PERRY: Katy Perry looked pretty as a peacock during a performance at Splash Bar in New York last August. The pop star hit the stage in an embellished white outfit, paired with "peacock feathers" attached to the back. Katy had several jaw-dropping performance outfits this year, but this was definitely the widest wildest!

USHER: One of our favorite hustlers, Usher, took the stage at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards in a head-to-toe black outfit. The futuristic look included a leather vest, padded pants, and flashy sunglasses.

RIHANNA: Rihanna flaunted her fab figure in a shoulder-padded sparkly, pink leotard during a New York performance at Madison Square Garden last August. She rocked the pantless ensemble with embellished black boots and fishnet tights.

M.I.A.: M.I.A. looked like a florescent rainbow at the Spike TV Awards in Los Angeles. The singer picked bright blue hair, a shiny yellow shirt (to match her canary-colored nails), and hot pink bottoms. Plus, check out her fuchsia lipstick! Color us crazy, M.I.A.

NICKI MINAJ: Nicki Minaj went for a superhero theme for her 2010 MTV Video Music Awards performance outfit. The singer chose a pink and purple outfit crafted by designer Marco Marco and repurposed Chanel boots that were reworked with pink leather trim at the thigh.

30 SECONDS TO MARS: Jared Leto, the lead singer of 30 Seconds to Mars, never bores us with his innovative looks. During a performance at the Lowlands Festival in the Netherlands, Jared opted for a white leather jacket, studded red gloves, and a "graphic" tee. He finished off the outrageous outfit with tribal face paint.

PINK: No one could have predicted what Pink would reveal when she started taking off her white hooded dress during her 2010 Grammy Awards performance. The singer stripped down to show off a nude bodysuit with patches of glitter and strategically placed white strips in what was one of the most talked-about performance outfits of the entire year.

MTV Style Best Of 2010: Most Outrageous Outfits

Posted 12/28/10 11:00 am EST by in Divas, Music Videos, Performance Outfits, Red Carpet, Trends

Each day, through New Year's Eve, we'll bring you a list featuring some of the most unforgettable looks of 2010.

For every outfit that has wowed us this year, there has been one that made us say (out loud), "WTF?!?!" But, we've come to realize that without brazen stars bold enough to push the style limits in wacky getups, there would be no driving force behind our favorite trends. If Ke$ha had never worn head-to-toe neon paint to the MTV EMA (and every place else), we'd probably not have felt as comfortable to rock the trendy bright pink lip look. So, as crazy as they look, we are thankful for these stars and their absolutely insane ensembles.

KE$HA: It has always been about glitter and body paint for singer Ke$ha (oh...and trash bags, too). At the MTV EMA where she got the award for Best New Artist, she wore a neon green leotard covered with large glitter specks and streaks of body paint from her forehead to her ankles, proving that you can wear them both at the same time.

LADY GAGA: Oh, the infamous Franc Fernandez–designed raw meat dress! Turns out the rare outfit Lady Gaga wore to the MTV Video Music Awards wasn't her first in 2010. She covered the October issue of Vogue Hommes Japan in an itty-bitty beef bikini.

TAYLOR MOMSEN: As if Gossip Girl Taylor Momsen's raccoon eyes and stripper-esque aren't wild enough...the Pretty Reckless frontwoman was spotted on multiple occasions (poor footsies) wearing seven-inch lucite tip jar sandals designed by Pleaser.

KATY PERRY: For her "California Gurls" video, singer Katy Perry wore "daisy dukes, bikinis on top, sun-kissed skin"...and a whip cream spraying bra?! Yep, and the whole look was "unforgettable."

M.I.A.: There's no denying that M.I.A.'s colorful burka, which was emblazoned with an image of her Maya album cover, was a controversial style selection to wear on the red carpet for Spike TV's Scream 2010 Awards show. But this, from the same British rapper/singer who has also worn neon blue wigs and googly eye glasses (at the same time), shouldn't come as a surprise.

CHRISTINA AGUILERA: Singer Christina Aguilera's MTV Movie Awards outfit included a sparkly bodice teamed with thigh-high boots and long fingerless gloves. The look seemed tame enough...that was until she started performing and the heart over her vajayjay started lighting up.

LEIGHTON MEESTER: Here's the proof we were looking for showing that Leighton Meester can look hot in anything, even a potato sack—or a butt-revealing Marchesa jumpsuit. The Gossip Girl wore the lacy, off-shouldered number to the Harry Winston Court of Jewels Recreation launch in New York City, teaming it with a Marchesa sphere handbag and Nicholas Kirkwood heels.

NICKI MINAJ: The two-faced suit that Nick Minaj wore during her Hot 97's Thanksgiving Concert still makes us blush. The front of the outfit (designed by The Blonds) looked like a normal black silk suit, and the back was a nude bejeweled bodysuit.

RIHANNA: We're secretly sad that Rihanna has sworn off shoulder pads, because that means we won't see more garments like the pointy-shouldered, cleavage-showing green Alexandre Vauthier jumpsuit she wore for the Echo Awards in March.

MILEY CYRUS: Miley Cyrus strayed far, far, FAR away from her Hannah Montana persona while performing at the MuchMusic Video Awards in Canada. The singer/actress went for a scantily clad look, wearing leather short shorts, a cutout fishnet leotard, a rolled bandanna, and striped calf socks with booties.

'The Tourist''s Angelina Jolie Gets Cozy On The Red Carpet

Posted 12/27/10 11:36 am EST by in Divas, Trends

Angelina Jolie recently took her style aesthetic to a whole new level by choosing luxurious, cozy fabrics to wear during a worldwide promo tour for her newest film, The Tourist (with a pit stop at the premiere of Megamind). From velvet and satin, to decadent wool, the actress/humanitarian/mother of six showed that what a garment is made out of can be just as statement-making (and a lot more important...i.e. WARM) as its cut and color.

VELVET IN PARIS:
Angelina wore a L'Agence embellished top and velvet blazer with velvet pants for the premiere of Megamind, which she attended with her stylish beau Brad Pitt, in Paris on Nov. 29. She finished the head-to-toe black look with matching Salvatore Ferragamo pumps.

ANGORA WOOL IN NEW YORK:
For the New York City premiere of her new movie, The Tourist, which she stars in with Johnny Depp, Angelina chose a floor-length angora gown from Atelier Versace. The waist-gathered white dress had a plunging neckline and a thigh-high slit. Angelina completed the winter white ensemble in matching Ferragamo heels.

VELVET IN BERLIN:
Angelina opted for Versace again for the Berlin premiere of The Tourist on Dec. 14. The strapless velvet dress even came with built-in gloves! Style and comfort—we love!

VELVET + SATIN IN ROME:
Even though Angelina wears black often on the red carpet, she manages to make it fun each time! For the Rome premiere of The Tourist, Angelina mixed a velvet black Ferragamo blazer with satin pants. She made the menswear-inspired look feel feminine by wearing her hair down and applying a coat of bright red lipstick.

ANGORA WOOL IN MADRID:
During the Madrid photocall for her movie promo tour, Angelina rocked a black blouse tucked into wide-leg trousers. She finished her classic look with a white Michael Kors angora shrug and a gold Tiffany & Co. "Elsa Peretti" bone cuff.

MTV Style Best Of 2010: Nicki Minaj's Top Looks

Posted 12/24/10 11:00 am EST by in Divas, Performance Outfits, Red Carpet

With her fabulous hair and wild, waist-cinching wardrobe, this was the year that Nicki Minaj hit her style stride. And the rapper's fashion risks have paid off in a big way—last month she launched her own lipstick with M.A.C, designers are clamoring for the opportunity to dress her for events, and she single-handedly made wearing head-to-toe bubble gum pink the couture thing to do. But has she reached style icon status? You be the judge...

AT THE BET AWARDS: Wearing bouncy orange curls and a long white tulle Rochas by Olivier Theyskens archival gown from the Spring 2004 collection, Nicki turned heads at the 2010 BET Awards show.

IN JUMPSUITS: To show off her killer curves on stage, Nicki often chose flashy, form-fitting catsuits, which she paired with above the knee or ankle boots and rainbow-colored locks.

AT THE BET STUDIOS: Save for her kelly green bob and sunny knee-high peep-toe boots, Nicki looked relatively demure for an appearance on BET.

AT HOT 97 SUMMER JAM: During a summer performance, Nicki looked fierce in an auburn angled bob, a fitted minidress, an armful of bracelets and some INSANE 2 Bitchez Deep spiked platform shoes.

AT BET 'SPRING BLING': Showing her warrior style, Nicki hit the Spring Bling stage in a white romper with gold-plated torso and shoulder details.

IN VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS PROMOS: For the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards promo shots, Nicki dressed in '50s-inspired ensembles—below-the-knee a-line skirts and Lucille Ball red hair.

IN 'VIBE' MAGAZINE: Decked out in puffy-sleeved dresses, thigh-high socks and boots, and ornate hairstyles, our favorite Barbie doll played the part in the June/July issue of Vibe magazine.

AT THE VH1 DIVAS SALUTE THE TROOPS: Nicki performed wearing a Versace floral print stretch dress from the Fall 2010 preview collection, teal tights, and super-high teal Christian Louboutin Misfit pumps. How she was able to walk in those shoes? Who knows!

AT THE AMERICAN MUSIC AWARDS: The petite rapper went glam (with a goth spin) in an embellished Manish Arora skeleton dress for the American Music Awards, which she teamed with green-tipped platinum locks.

AT HER BIRTHDAY PARTY: Nicki celebrated her 26th birthday looking ethereal in this pearl-and-crystal-encrusted catsuit from The Blonds Fall 2008 collection and long blonde strands.

MTV Style Best Of 2010: Katy Perry's Top Looks

Posted 12/23/10 1:00 pm EST by in Divas, Performance Outfits, Red Carpet

Katy Perry rarely plays it safe. Whether it's a flirty tutu skirt or a dramatic couture gown, the pop star's sartorial choices are anything but boring. She even made latex a popular "fabric" this year! Here, we rounded up KP's most impressive style moments of 2010.

IN LATEX DRESSES: If not for Katy Perry, we might have never associated latex with fashion. This year, she flaunted several latex minis (custom versions of the Syren latex halter dress by Abigail Greydanus) with delicious prints like cupcakes and cotton candy to various events.

IN SHORT SHORTS: Given the fact that she's a true California "Gurl" (born in Santa Barbara, Calif.), it should come as no surprise that Katy Perry loves her short shorts! She rocked bedazzled blue ones for some of her biggest performances in 2010, and of course, there's the low-rise denim pair from her popular "California Gurls" music video.

AT THE JINGLE BALL: Rocking a sexy santa ensemble, Katy Perry got into the Christmas spirit during her performance at the Jingle Ball on Dec. 11 in New York City. Katy also dressed as a snowman and a nutcracker during other December performances.

IN STREET STYLE: Even during her downtime, Katy kept it cool with one-shoulder sweaters, knee-high socks, graphic tees, and pumps in poppy shades (purple!).

IN TUTUS: Katy started an unexpected trend in 2010. The singer wore a number of ballerina skirts for performances this year, which she paired with embellished/studded tutu tops. And then, we all wanted to rock a tutu!

ON MAGAZINE COVERS: While she opts for color and pizazz on stage, Katy stripped down for some magazine cover appearances. She wore a rosy pink bra and panty set on the cover of Rolling Stone and a black latex (of course!) bottom with Charlotte Olympia ankle boots for the U.K. cover of Esquire.

ON SESAME STREET: This green Giles Deacon shift started quite the stir when Katy wore it to the taping of a Sesame Street special. The show decided not to air the program because of Katy's cleavage.

AT THE ACADEMY AWARDS: Katy looked regal in red at the 2010 Vanity Fair Oscar Party, where she wore a floor-length gown from Zuhair Murad's Spring 2010 Couture collection. The column shift had a festive zigzag pattern and hugged Katy's curves perfectly.

AT THE MTV MOVIE AWARDS: The singer sported a sheer, sparkly mini from Zuhair Murad's Fall 2010 collection for the MTV Movie Awards. While the dress may have been a neutral color, Katy added big splashes of color with bright blue hair, yellow nails and gray and yellow Rock & Republic Lotus platform pumps.

AT THE VIDEO MUSIC AWARDS: In addition to donning rainbow highlights and her then-fiance Russell Brand's face on her nails at the 2010 MTV Video Music Awards, Katy Perry wore a black and white Marchesa mini dress with Jimmy Choo sandals and a chunky M.C.L. by Matthew Campbell Laurenza ring. Some fashion critics thought she looked like a wannabe ice skater; little did they know that it was just the beginning, and that later in the year, the singer would also dress up as a snowman, Mrs. Claus and a tin soldier.

AT THE KIDS CHOICE AWARDS: The pop star picked a strapless, corset dress by The Blonds, which was embellished with rainbow sequins and rhinestones, for the 2010 Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards in March.

MTV Style Best Of 2010: Lady Gaga's Top Looks

Posted 12/22/10 1:03 pm EST by in Designers, Divas, Performance Outfits, Red Carpet, Video Music Awards

Lady Gaga was arguably the biggest style star of the year. She did it all, from transforming herself into a man for the September cover of Vogue Hommes Japan, to showing up in a head-to-toe meat dress at MTV’s Video Music Awards. Between her daring red carpet numbers and her embellished and sculpted performance ensembles, the pop star made headlines every time she stepped out of her hotel room! We can't wait to see how Lady Gaga reinvents herself in 2011, but in the meantime, let’s look back at her top style moments from 2010.

 

AT THE BRIT AWARDS: Lady Gaga looked almost ghostly at the 2010 Brit Awards, where she showed up in a custom-made Francesco Scognamiglio tiered cape. She stuck with the white theme by wearing a huge wig and lace mask by London milliner Philip Treacy.

AT THE amfAR GALA: The singer showed off another head-to-toe white outfit at the amFAR Gala in New York City last February. Lady Gaga wore a textured white blazer with matching panties, hat and heeled boots. But her body decorations were what had people talking! The pop icon glued white pearls to her face to finish the look. We say, that’s dedication!!

ON THE VMA RED CARPET: The pop star paid tribute to the late designer Alexander McQueen in one of his colorful creations at MTV’s 2010 Video Music Awards. Lady Gaga walked the red carpet in a floor-length gown from his Fall 2010 collection.

IN HER VMA MEAT DRESS: Lady Gaga’s infamous meat dress was, without a doubt, the year’s most talked about outfit. Designed by Franc Fernandez, the jaw-dropping look was made with REAL beef. And even though Fernandez used more than 50 pounds of meat, the designer said Gaga told him it was one of the most comfortable dresses she's ever worn!

AT THE GRAMMY AWARDS: Lady Gaga was dressed for the Grammy Awards exclusively by Armani Privé. From her lilac solar system dress, to her sparkly green stage number and white lightening bolt look, Gaga stole the show with both her in-your-face style and stage performances.

IN FISHNETS: Taylor Momsen, is that you? Lady Gaga reminded us of the Gossip Girl actress in this revealing look that she wore for Lollapalooza in August, which included ripped fishnet stockings and a sheer top. We love how she tried to be modest by covering her nipples with star stickers! Classic Gaga.

IN A SHEER BODYSUIT: Gaga continued with the sheer theme during an October performance in Los Angeles, where the pop star sported a see-through body suit adorned with sequins and studs. Lady Gaga carried the embellished look all the way down to her studded booties!

WITH SUN HAIR: It wasn’t her outfit (which was relatively tame for the performer), but Gaga’s crazy hairdo that stunned us at the 2010 International Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas. It's no wonder Gaga sported dark shades indoors...her hair looked like a big, bright sun.

IN TOUR OUTFITS: Lady Gaga loved Giorgio Armani’s designs so much that she tapped him to design several of her tour outfits! We can’t get over how colorful, voluminous, and sculptured each piece looked—and Gaga pulled them off fabulously.

ON MAGAZINE COVERS: Lady Gaga’s magazine appearances were anything but cookie-cutter. She appeared on the September 2010 cover of Vogue Hommes Japan as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone, went topless for her cover shoot with Vanity Fair, and sported a machine gun bra and black thong for Rolling Stone.

Style Transformation: M.I.A.'s 2010 Hair Color Evolution

Posted 12/21/10 3:15 pm EST by in Beauty, Divas

Singer M.I.A. isn't one to shy away from switching up her hair hue at a moment's notice, but what sets her apart from other chameleons (i.e. Nicki Minaj, Lady Gaga, and Katy Perry), is that, save for the neon blue and green bobs that she rocked during performances in Los Angeles on Oct. 16 and in London on Nov. 13, she doesn't rely on wigs and hairpieces alone to shock and awe. Such was the case yesterday when M.I.A. posted a photo on her Twitter page of herself with a bleached blonde bob. Since it IS easier to dye platinum strands pink (a lot easier than it is to tint brunette strands in funky colors), does the lifted look mean there are more wild and crazy dye jobs in the artist's future? We think so!

+ Which M.I.A. hair color do you like best?

MTV Style Best Of 2010: Lovely Little White Dresses

Posted 12/21/10 1:29 pm EST by in Divas, Red Carpet, Trends

Do you remember that "No White After Labor Day" rule? Yeah, well, it didn't really apply in 2010. This year (from summer to winter) it was all about the Little White Dress. Celebs such as Kim Kardashian and Jessica Alba chose the clean, crisp shade in everything from belted cocktail dresses to curve-hugging strapless shifts. Little Black Dress, you might want to watch your back!

ONE SHOULDER: The one-shoulder look was clearly having a moment on red carpets. Celebs like Selena Gomez and January Jones showed just how flattering the neckline/collarbone-revealing style could be by wearing it with little (if any) jewelry.

BELTED: Jessica Alba's white dress collection runs deep (it was her favorite color to wear out and about). But the fashionista also has a TON of belts, which she used to brighten her look and cinch her waist.

DRAPEY: Glee star Naya Rivera and singer Selena Gomez added ancient flavor to their Grecian-inspired LWD with cowled sleeves.

A-LINE: It's no wonder Elle Fanning, Ashley Greene, and Carrie Underwood all chose this ladylike silhouette—it's flattering on ANY body type. If you're thin, it creates curves; if you have curves, it makes them look hotter.

LONG-SLEEVE: Gossip Girl Leighton Meester gave the long-sleeve minidress trend legs when she wore this intricately embroidered Emilio Pucci number to the Teen Choice Awards in August.

STRUCTURED HIPS: Whitney Port and Anne Hathaway created the illusion of an hourglass shape in white dresses with hip-slung ruffles. So sneaky!

POUFY: In addition to great hair and acting ability, we bet Dakota Fanning and her younger sister, Elle, share fashion tips, too. They were both spotted in voluminous/vintage-y toile dresses, which they both paired with black heels.

LONGER LENGTH GOWNS: Glee's Amber Riley, Kim Kardashian, and Kirsten Dunst wore floor-grazing snowy dresses, debunking the myth that long white dresses are only for your wedding day.

STRAPLESS: Model Selita Ebanks and singer Taylor Swift showed off their toned arms in simple strapless dresses, which they paired with fab footwear.

KIM KARDASHIAN'S WHITE MINIS: On more than one occasion, Kim Kardashian flaunted her curves on the red carpet in short-short, gam-revealing shifts.

Street Style: Kristen Bell's London Looks

Posted 12/16/10 12:31 pm EST by in Divas, Shopping

Kristen Bell spent a stylish few days across the pond in London over the past week promoting her new movie Burlesque. Last Saturday, the actress went for a biker chic look when she picked a Simone by Katie Nehra leather jacket and a beige Topshop Chiffon Chain Waist Midi Dress ($160, Topshop.com) that had a funky asymmetrical cut. This Monday, Kristen flashed some bright color, sporting an orange and white outfit from Salvatore Ferragamo’s 2011 Resort collection. And on Tuesday, the fashionista gave a nod to menswear in a leopard print blouse, khaki trousers, and black blazer. This had to be our favorite look of her British promo tour/vacation! It feels so perfect for winter, and we love how Kristen made the look a little festive with a bright red shoulder bag. But what do you think?
