    It's no surprise that a documentary on the late and great Michael Jackson would draw in a crowd of A-list celebrities, all wanting to show their love and support for the King of Pop. The tragic and sudden death of the greatest entertainer of all time sent shock waves through the community and "This Is It" is one way to commemorate Jackson, as well as keep him with us for a little longer. Everybody who's anybody, and their mom and kids, showed up dressed to impress with styles ranging from dressed up tees to floor-sweeping gowns. One common color that celebrities showed up in was chic head-to-toe black ensembles that were edgy, sexy, sleek or just plain sweet. Perhaps it was out of respect for the loss that the Jackson family and the rest of the world has recently endured, but there's no denying that they all looked like "Pretty Young Things." So who do you think rocked the basic black look the best? Was it Jennifer Lopez in her edgy black panel sheath and rockin' knee boots? Or perhaps you preferred Katy Perry's lacy, glittering gown? And there's no question that Vivica A. Fox looked smoking in a body-hugging, one-shouldered mini. Take the poll below and let us know who you think looked best at the Michael Jackson's "This Is It' Premiere! Photo credit: PR Photos

    7 Seriously Alluring (And Wearable!) Leather Mini Dresses

    Fashionistas just can't get enough of leather this fall. Moto jacket? Check. Fingerless driving gloves? Check. Liquid leggings? Check, once you work up the nerve to actually wear them. But one thing you may have yet to add to your autumn trend arsenal is a leather dress! I know it sounds risky, since prior to this recent leather invasion you probably associate the material mostly with biker babes and dominatrices, but you may be surprised to find that this season's leather LBDs aren't overdramatic. Instead, the latest leather minis simply provide a sexy sheen to otherwise modest silhouettes like this Gryphon smock dress and this shift dress from Alice + Olivia. Pair with a killer set of ankle booties for your next dressy night out, or add some serious sparkle with a bib necklace and you've got yourself a New Years Eve ensemble (hey, it's never too early to plan ahead)! Check the slideshow for some of my favorite leather dresses.

    The Coveted Loves Mahtab Azimi's Little Black Dress

    Everyone needs a comfy little black dress in their wardrobe arsenal. This much I know... and I have quite a few in my closet to back it up! Yet, like black shoes, there never seems to be enough! When designer Mathab Azimi sent me this lovely Micah sheered tunic dress for a review, I just couldn't be happier. The Micah dress is made with a poly-rayon blend which has kind of a jersey feel, only softer and with more movement.


    The Pros: For $69.95 this dress is really well-made. The dress is very adjustable, with a tie belt and even the sleeves are customizable with ties, and can easily be worn with bows showing in the front or back. The length of the dress will adjust according to how much you pull up the top, and you can make it shorter in front, longer in back, mini or knee length. I really liked the gathering which gives it a nice Grecian effect.
    The Cons: The only real gripe I have is that it's dry clean only. If I had to pick something else, it would be that the flip side of adjustability also means that sometimes you need to adjust the dress during the day, but not much.


    All in all, it's a great dress and since it's done by an independent designer, the price is more than reasonable. I definitely would recommend it! Check out The Coveted for more fashion reviews!

    A new generation of fashion-obsessed starlets are quickly taking over red carpets worldwide. Reigning teen queen Vanessa Anne Hudgens looked fierce even without beau Zac Efron by her side. She sported a trendy studded moto jacket with smokey eyes at London's premiere of High School Musical 3. At the same event, co-star Ashley Tisdale looked angelic in a jeweled platinum mini dress. And relative newcomer Selena Gomez appeared the most age-appropriate (she's only 16!) in a 50's-inspired dress at the Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party. These young and fashion-forward starlets are definitely eager to exchange their Disney backgrounds for designer duds, but which teen queen reigns supreme in red carpet style? Vote now!

    Elle's Fall A to Zee Trends: Knee-Length Dresses

    Ring in autumn with classy and chic knee-length dresses. These LBD's may have some added length, but they have definitely not lost any of their classy or sexy appeal. Rich fabrics, dark and decadent metallics, stunning embroidery, and even a few one-shoulder styles take these dresses from everyday to extraordinary. And while the elegance of these dresses suggest that they're made for night, it doesn't mean that they can't be dressed down for daytime looks as well. Afterall, black looks chic in virtually all settings and knee-length skirts are practical for work. So this fall, invest in a little black dress that goes the extra-length, knee-length that is! Check out Elle's A to Zee Trends to see Joe Zee's picks, and click on our SLIDESHOW to see some sophisticated examples of this trend, straight from the Hive.
