Florence Welch Or Lady Gaga: Who Wore A Cupcake Dress Best?

AH, the cupcake dress. It's a many tiered and layered thing that cascades from head-to-toe like a Christmas tree. There's usually a ruffle or two (or a thousand), and its high-fashion otherworldliness cannot be denied. Most recently, Florence Welch sported a white Alexander McQueen cupcake dress at the 2012 Costume Institute Benefit Gala. The two-tiered, bell-sleeved number was partially sheer up top, lending the otherwise voluminous dress a little bit of seductive, playful flair, while the midi length and matching pumps gave the whole thing a certain Edwardian charm. Florence chose to pair the outrageous ensemble with a distinctly more simple coif--a crown braid pulls her long red hair off her shoulders and lets the dress take the spotlight, while framing her beautiful face just so.

Camilla Belle And Lana Del Rey Vamp It Up At The Met Gala, And Other Trends

Posted 5/8/12 1:24 pm EST by Liza Darwin in Beauty, Events, Red Carpet, Trends

Fact: you don’t dress for the Met Gala to blend in. This year alone we spotted head-to-toe sequins, Barbie doll frocks, and even textured crocodile (ahem, Rihanna)...so needless to say, anyone who’s lucky enough to score an invite tries her absolute hardest to stand out from the rest of the fashion pack. But just like any big event, there were some major trends of the night- check out the three biggest below.

DRAMATIC LIPSTICK

Camilla Belle reached glamazon status in her slinky beaded Ralph Lauren gown, but the real secret weapon to the actress’s ‘20s-inspired look? Her ultra-bold, wine-hued lipstick, which perfectly complemented her almond eyes and trademark full brows. She's not the only one who channeled Old Hollywood by pairing dark lips with shimmery metallic dresses; it's well-tread beauty territory, and we couldn't be happier. Lana Del Rey played up her music industry darling rep with her Altuzarra dress (and cape!), which strikingly offset her burgundy lipstick and swoop of black liner. But here's proof you don't have to retire your ruby red shade just yet: Jessica Alba looked to the brighter side with a cherry-tinted lipstick in her Michael Kors gown- just as dramatic, still just as gorgeous as the rest.

Beyonce, Kristen Stewart, And Rihanna Stun At The 2012 MET Gala

Posted 5/8/12 1:04 am EST by Andi Teran in Red Carpet

What do cascading feathers, lemon yellow peplums, errant capes, pops of hot pink, and gigantic gold sequins have in common? They all get top billing at the 2012 Met Gala! Arguably fashion's equivalent to the Oscars and prom all rolled into one magical night hosted by Vogue magazine to celebrate the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, the Gala is the one event of the year where you go big, bold, bright, and brilliant or you get booed off the crimson carpet. (Seriously, the paparazzi this year were INSANE with their commentary, and one photog's hilarious banter was picked up by Vogue's live stream all night.) Thankfully, there was a steady stream of stunners down the carpet and up the steps. From see-through mega gowns and a dress made entirely of red plastic flowers to mismatched cocktail numbers and the Longest Donna Karan Train in the World™, we bring you our top picks of the night.

BEYONCE

Raise your glasses, coffee mugs, celebratory baby bottles—what have you—because pop icon and new baby mama Beyoncé brought the Met Gala tent down. You guys, LOOK AT THIS DRESS. Words cannot convey the magnificence that is this jaw-dropping Givenchy show-stopper. What's more, when everyone was inside and the press was about to pack up their gear and go, Bey decided to saunter on up the carpet in all her lens shattering glory like, "Oh, hi! Am I late? Did I miss anything?" NO, B, we missed YOU. From the sleek-swept ponytail to the utter see-through mastery of this dress, your eyes barely know where to focus before exploding along with the black to purple ombre feathers (FEATHERS!) pooling around her ankles. This is how you do the Met Gala. Period.

Get The Red Carpet Prom Look!

Posted 5/2/12 3:00 pm EST by Chrissy Mahlmeister in Prom, Red Carpet, Shopping

Since prom is basically the ONLY occasion in our lives that calls for super dressed-up gowns (well, minus our wedding day *crosses fingers*), it means we can FINALLY cop all those drool-worthy red carpet looks that we've been fawning over all year long. Just think—their stylists get paid the big bucks to dish out the top celebs' most killer looks, so why not take a cue from the best in the biz? We gathered some of our favorite awards show ensembles and found an affordable option for all our fashion-forward girls. I know, I know, we're sooooo nice. You can thank us later.

SELENA GOMEZ'S SPARKLY MERMAID DRESS

We loveloveLOVED Selena Gomez's super glam Oscar party look because it's body-conscious but classy. We tried to match the intricate metallic bead work on her Dolce & Gabbana mermaid dress with an allover silver sequin dress from Bloomingdale's. The Lauren by Ralph Lauren gown ($270) silhouette is SO dead that you could even sport the same vintage-y faux bob and call it a night! To finish the look, grab a studded clutch and call it a night. We particularly like this embellished linen wristlet ($70) from Bebe!

Forget whatever you think you know about little black dresses. As temperatures climb and hems rise, spring is all about the LWD (little white dress), and in just one evening, Lea Michele, Shay Mitchell, and Chelsea Kane sported three different iterations of the crisp warm-weather trend at last night's Academy screening of Glee and the ABC Family West Coast upfront.

Every year, the White House Correspondents Dinner brings the worlds of politics and Hollywood together under one fashionable Washington D.C. roof to dine with (and enjoy a speech delivered by) the President of the United States of America. Witty barbs are tossed around the room from the evening's designated host—who was Jimmy Kimmel this year—and everyone dresses up in their fanciest finery, aka black ties and gowns galore, usually of the more subdued variety. (Neon minidresses and/or jumpsuits made of wig hair should be saved for after-parties only.) This year, a bevy of beauties classed-up the evening in various shades of grey. Dakota Fanning and Zooey Deschanel both chose classic lady-gowns adorned in flowers, and Ginnifer Goodwin went for eco-friendly ruffles in the lightest, creamiest of grey.

Zac Efron Shines In Maroon Suit

It's becoming wildly apparent that Zac Efron has out-grown his mop-headed High School Musical days and blossoming into a full-fledged GQ-status red carpet killer. We've seen him weave effortlessly from one well-executed ensemble to the next throughout this press tour for The Lucky One, trying out new hairstyles and dipping his toes into notably shiny suits. We all remember last week's wet look number, but it appears from his outfit at last night's Berlin premiere that the light-reflecting look was one worth repeating for Efron.

STOP THE FASHION PRESSES! Big news. HUGE. Are you holding onto the lapels of your leather jacket and/or clutching the sides of your computer machine as you focus your gaze upon these words? Do so, because hyperventilation or hallucinative vapors may result in reaction to this oh-so glorious news. Vogue Daily just announced that the most exclusive fashion party of the year, namely the Costume Institute Benefit at the Metropolitan Museum of Art (aka the Met Gala) will be streaming all of the glitz and glamour that is their red carpet LIVE. Taking place on Monday, May 7, from 6:30 to 8:30, hosts Elettra Wiedeman and Vogue's William Norwich will interview this year's gala chairs—like newlywed Carey Mulligan and honored designer Miuccia Prada—along with what's sure to be an exhaustive bevy of celeb beauties from Rihanna to Kanye. (Remember when we crowned him Prom King last year? Will he show up with Prom Queen Kim K this year? Zut alors!) We have a few questions, though; most specifically, WHY ISN'T ANDRE LEON TALLEY DOING THE RED CARPET COVERAGE?!

Along with being in great company on seriously major list and honoring title holders with a bundle of high profile essays, TIME's 100 Most Influential People in the World are also celebrated with a swanky New York gala. More than likely there's a performer or two on the list, like Rihanna and Adele this year, which makes providing entertainment and speech-givers a little bit easier. Thus, Ri both attended the TIME 100 Gala and performed at it, allowing for *drumroll* a wardrobe change. YAY!!!
