Rock a Little Red Dress Like Sienna Miller

Sabrina Newman on May 15, 2009 4:23 PM PDT

At the New York premiere of The Mysteries of Pittsburgh, fashion trend-setter extraordinaire Sienna Miller showcased a sleek, sophisticated style that was still undeniably sexy. Sienna looked absolutely radiant in a ravishing red dress by Marios Schwab which looked especially sizzling with her matching red pout. She completed her look with Roger Vivier black pumps and opaque tights, leaving the accessories at home and letting this standout dress do all the talking. The LRD (little red dress) is a fabulous alternative to the classic LBD, especially for a night when you wanna get in touch with your inner sexy siren. The key to rocking this style is to keep it minimal, like Sienna, and balance out the inherent sex appeal of the look with more pared down accessories. Photo credit: PR Photos

Spring Trend Alert: Watercolor Prints

Adriana Nova on Apr 27, 2009 10:21 AM PDT

Watercolor prints have been declared one of the "it" trends for spring, from Coco Rocha sashaying in a demure rose-spattered A-line dress in H&M's Spring campaign to red carpet regulars like Vanessa Williams adding an artsy touch to their ensembles with watercolor print clutches, shoes, and scarves. A subtler alternative to bold prints, watercolor motifs are still dramatic in their own way and add an avant-garde yet feminine sensibility to any outfit. Walter, Elizabeth and James, Tracy Reese, and Black Halo are among the designers who have included graceful watercolor-inspired pieces in their spring collections. Apart from its visual merits, what's also fab about this trend is that it comes without an expiration date. Like quality art, it can be kept and sported for years and not appear dated at all. Careful not to overdo it, though: one impressionist piece per outfit makes the best impression. Check out the slideshow for stylish ways to channel your inner Monet!

Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends: The New Pant

Caitlin McNulty on Oct 15, 2008 12:17 PM PDT

Move over skinny and slim-cut, wide leg trousers are coming through! Rework your wardrobe this fall, because, believe it or not, there's a backlash against those skinny and slim-cut silhouettes that have been walking the runways and streets for the past few years. And it's not just me noticing this resurgence--Elle Creative Director Joe Zee includes this fall fashion must-have in Elle's Fall A To Zee Trends, hailing this style as the 'New Pant.' Stealing the hearts of designers and fashionistas alike, these pairs have full silhouettes and slouchy looks that exude smart style, and if fashion were a religion--which often times it seems to be--you could say that I'm a convert. And If you're feeling especially preppy or playful, choose a pair of pants packed with pleats like these ADAM pleated wide leg pants or these Alexander Wang pleated baggy pants. Now, I know many of you are questioning how flattering can these pants actually be, or how you can wear the slouchy look with out becoming a slouch yourself, but rest assured--with these designer duds straight from the Hive, you'll be the wearing the pants- they won't be wearing you! Go to Elle's A To Zee Trends to see Joe Zee's pick, and take a peek at my favorite trousers from the Hive in my SLIDESHOW!
