Which Glamorous Red Carpet Dress is Your Favorite?

Greta on Nov 8, 2008 10:17 AM PST

Feathers, sequins, and metallics, oh my! Some of 2008's most popular fabric trends appear to be showing on red carpets across the globe - all at once! Australian singer Natalie Imbruglia looked red hot at Sir Richard Branson's "Rock The Kasbah" charity event in an ultra-glamorous backless sequin dress. Lagerfeld muse and fashion ingenue Kate Bosworth looked chic and confident in a short-sleeved belted dress constructed entirely out of shimmery layered feathers. And Elle Macpherson gave the Bond girls a run for their money in a plum metallic mini-dress at the London premiere of the new James Bond flick, Quantum Solace. Which look do you love the most?

Anna Yu on Sep 8, 2008 3:07 PM PDT

The MTV Video Music Awards had tongues wagging about Britney Spears' opening skit to sizzling performances by Christina Aguilera and Kanye West to Russell Brand's suspect hosting abilities. That's all fine and dandy but the Stylehive office had other things to worry about because we had all our eyes peeled to the screen on what everyone was wearing on the red carpet. There were lots of hits (and misses) and we've narrowed it down to four! Click READ MORE to vote now!

New York Fashion Week Runway: Geren Ford Brings Fun to ...

Sabrina Newman on Sep 5, 2008 5:18 PM PDT

The perfect start to what I€™m sure will be a fabulous Mercedes Benz Fashion Week - that's what I think of yesterday's Geren Ford Spring 2009 presentation, which had a fun, free, anything goes vibe that served as a testament to the fun there is to be had with fashion. Case in point: the socks-and-sandals combo, a risky rule-breaker that added a touch of fashion-forward irreverence to the soft, billowy, bohemian silhouettes. This collection was all about loose layers, relaxed cuts, fresh bursts of color, and lots and lots of statement accessories (my favorite being the chunky bangles). Silk maxi dresses, shorts paired with loose tunics, deconstructed suits - you get the picture. So check out the SLIDESHOW of backstage shots and fresh outfits! Then check out the Hive for our members' favorite Geren Ford creations!

New York Fashion Week Buzz: Angel Sanchez Opens His Studio to ...

Chris K. on Sep 5, 2008 2:57 PM PDT

It was like seeing Project Runway in full swing, only this time we already knew the winner. Angel Sanchez opened his garment district studio last night for a sneak peek at the designer's intricate Spring 2009 collection. With several gowns displayed in the showroom and several more in various states of completion in his studio, the event was a fascinating look into the designer's process. Let's just say it was a bit more inspiring than watching Stella get auf'd this week. Click SEE SLIDESHOW for more of my shots from the fete.

Style Poll: Which Black Boot Style Will You Wear This Fall?

B B on Aug 21, 2008 4:51 PM PDT

Summer is about ready to make its exit and that means, whether you like it or not, you are going to have trade in those flimsy flip flops for a sturdy pair of boots (well at least stylish). This season you have got at least four great choices, and black is certainly the color of choice- - or absence of color. Will you be joining the equestrian team (just long enough to snag the structured boots), abiding by Alexander Wang's command to go grunge, bolstering the persisting 80's pirate boot saga, or going with the time honored classic knee high heeled boot? There is a style for you, so come on...
