Get Charlize Theron's Sexy-Sleek Look

image
At the 13th Annual Hollywood Awards Gala the always striking Charlize Theron was a true vision in black. The bombshell paired a sleek leather skirt with a strapless top from The Row, creating a sexy yet sophisticated silhouette. She injected touches of color into the look with a Bottega Veneta clutch, a pair of diamond-accented pumps and a turquoise ring. By taking a minimal approach to the accessories, Charlize kept the look polished and chic and allowed her natural beauty to really shine. A leather pencil skirt is definitely a must-have this season and is super versatile. Wear it with a sexy top like Charlize or tone it down by teaming it with a billowy blouse or a sharp blazer.

Rock a Leather Mini Like Isla Fisher

image
At the "Rock A Little, Feed A Little" benefit concert in L.A., the adorable Isla Fisher got in touch with her sexy side, rocking this season's leather trend in a fun and funky way. Isla paired her leather mini with a cool tie-dye tee-shirt and accessorized the look with funky peep-toe booties, a pendant necklace, and an edgy cuff. I love how Isla tempered the inherent sexiness of her leather mini with a more casual top to keep the look from being too vampy. Balance is a key concept to keep in mind when rocking anything leather. Isla also gets points for showing accessory-restraint. When you're outfit is this cool, you really don't need to pile on many extras.

Gwen wore a halter LBD and added some shape to the look by cinching the waist with a black belt. She finished the look with black patent pumps, a black LAMB clutch, and a dazzling Lorraine Schwartz bracelet.This look was polished, chic, and sexy but in a subtle way. And unlike most of Gwen's ensembles, it's totally wearable and can work beautifully on anyone, no matter what your age or size.

Go Edgy-Femme Like Blake Lively

image
At the launch party for the Anna Sui for Target collection, Gossip Girl Blake Lively was her usual on-trend self. Blake wore a muted tiered dress by Vena Cava (her consistent go-to label) which she toughened up with punk rock accessories including a pair of studded Christian Louboutin pumps, stacks of bangles, and big hoop earrings. A dress like the one she wore is a highly versatile closet staple and is the perfect backdrop for all your layering adventures. You can keep the look clean and simple with a nude pair of pumps, add sophistication with a blazer and tights, and boots, or up the volume with edgy add-ons like Blake for a sexy night-time style.

Give An LBD A Fashion-Forward Edge Like Ellen Page

image
At the L.A. premiere of Whip It, actress Ellen Page looked chic, timeless, and simultaneously cutting-edge. Ellen rocked a long-sleeve Alexander Wang LBD (long sleeve mini-dresses are all the rage this season). She took this basic staple to the next level with a funky pair of Rachel Comey booties, an embellished Jimmy Choo clutch, and layered David Yurman chain necklaces. This look was totally on-point and is fashion-forward but still totally wearable. I love how Ellen toughened up a classic closet staple but still kept the look feminine and sexy. This look is definitely worth replicating for your next night out. Check out my slideshow to do it up just like Ellen!

Beauty.Com Partners With Zero + Cornejo Maria On An Exclusive Travel Case

image
Beauty.com is at it again with another one of their famous designer collaborations. This time around, they collaborated with the award-winning fashion label Zero + Maria Cornejo in creating a super chic travel bag stuffed with 16 deluxe hair, makeup, and skincare samples. The travel bag trio features zippered compartments in three shapes that can be carried individually or as a set. "This bag is based on the three shapes that always inspire the collection -- a circle, a square, and a triangle," says Cornejo. "When I was designing the bag, I was thinking of busy women like myself who, when they travel, need maximum flexibility. I love the idea that each separate compartment snaps apart so that you can separate your products and just grab one item and go!"


The entire set is valued at $140 but will be yours free with any purchase of $100 or more at beauty.com/zeromariacornejo.
