Style Highlights: Hailee Steinfeld

Hailee Steifeld has been making waves in the fashion and movie worlds ever since she made her debut in True Grit alongside Hollywood vets Jeff Bridges and Matt Damon. Although she's only fourteen, Hailee has been appearing on red carpets wowing critics with her young yet elegant style.

Hailee looks refreshing in this blush-nude Marchesa gown. It is romantic and sweet. She styles them with this beautiful geometric nude heels that make her appear taller and slimmmer--not that she needs to. The hemline is tasteful and she looks her age without looking kiddish.

For the golden globes, the first-time nominee wore white. But instead of thinking bridal we were stunned by the confidence Hailee projected as she walked the red carpet. Her hair was pulled back into a ponytail, helping her look young in this minimalistic gown. The proportions are lovely and the absense of too much jewelry was a great call.

Hailee in Prada? Perfection! Her slim frame is able to handle the large and bold stripes of the gown. Her simple wavey hair compliments the structure lines and adds movement to the look. She kept with simple makeup and no jewelry save for a bold red ring on her right hand. Hailee, normally looking so prim and formal, looks lovely. This is young and beautiful.

Hailee decided to go a bit more simplistic this event. She chose a simple black dress and patent leather mary-janes in black. She accent the look with a simple bracelet and pulled her hair back into a soft side pony. The gown seems to skim her body rather than cling to it. This was a brilliant choice on Hailee's part. Lovely.

The Twilight Cast Gets Fashionable

Today we're going to take a look at the lovely ladies from the Twilight Series in celebration of the DVD release of Eclipse! Are you excited? I know some of you aren't but you have to admit that some of those girls have amazing wardrobe stylists. :)

Ashley Greene in Giambattista Valli [left] and Prabal Gurung [right].

Ashley Greene is set to host, Fashion Forward. She has graced the pages of countless magazines and she is the most noted fashionista that has come out of the franchise. She normally picks classic pieces but then adds a funky accessory like a bracelet or bag. And plus, she looks fabulous in red.

Dakota Fanning in Elie Saab [left] and Valentino [right].

Budding fashionista Dakota Fanning took the fashion world by storm with her high end styles. Its hard to remember that this is the little girl that stole hearts in Uptown Girl. It's been a while.

Nikki Reed in Burberry [left] and 7 For All Mankind [right].

Nikki Reed flies under the radar due to her absence from the headlines. And I think that's probably the best for the longevity of her career. Nikki Reed looks stunning my favorite brand [Burberry] and I don't think there's a time when she doesn't look fabulous. :)

Kristin Stewart in Herve Leger by Max Azria [left] and Helmut Lang [right].

I adore Kristin with red hair. It makes her look more fashion and less greasy. Does that make sense? I don't know. I'm excited for Breaking Dawn the movie even though it was my least favorite book in the series. I felt it was just a waste. What did you think?

 I think Eclipse was my favorite movie but New Moon will always be my favorite book. I prefer Taylor because I find Edward a little...intense [edit: i mean Robert, i don't know why i wrote edward. Lane what were you thinking? duh.]. I'm going to get so many hateful comments because I just said that. 

Favorite Victoria's Secret Angels!

The Victoria Secret's Fashion Show was on last night. At ten o'clock, two hours later than last year, due to complants from parents that this material is too racy for some younger viewers. Or at least that's what my VS Pink ethusiast sister told me this morning. But whether you loved it or hated it, it was a show-stopping event. Katy Perry was brilliant and all the angels looked amazing. Let's a take a look at some of our favorite angels, past and present.

Chanel Iman in Prabal Gurung [left] and Marc Jacobs [right].

One of the newest additions to the VS runway, Chanel Iman is a pro at walking. She has graced hundreds of runways in Paris, Milan, and New York. She is an all-American girl: born in Atlanta, Gerogia and raised in Los Angelos. But with a name like Chanel, this girl was destined for the fashion world. It was so sweet seeing her get her wings. :)

Miranda Kerr in a printed skirt and button-up top [left] and a bright orange dress [right].

Ms. Miranda Kerr is one of many who are currently part of the fashion baby boom. Her baby, the father being her husband Orlando Bloom, is said to be delivered in January 2011. This Austrailiam beauty is known for her sweet dimples in her cheeks and her long run as a VS model. Unfortunately, Miranda wasn't there to rock the runway. Being pregnant and all.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley in Burberry [left] and a grey/brown fur coat [right].

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley isn't too  familiar with American audience but that won't last for long. She was chosen to repalce Megan Fox in the popular Tranfsromers series, the latest of which will be blasting into theaters summer 2011. This British beauty has been in ads for Burberry and Victoria's Secret.

Heidi Klum in Jenny Packham [left] and a fitted bedazzled blazer [right].

One of the best known VS models. She's transformed her success on the runway to an even more successful brand. She hosts the ever popular Project Runway on Lifetime. And she and British singer Seal have four children together and Ms. Klum became a naturalized citizen of the United States in 2008. Unforntuately Ms. Klum has retired her wings. But we will miss her.

The lineup of angels doesn't stop there but I don't have the space, nor the time, to list every angel. That would be unrealistic. I picked my faves. Who is your favorite angel? Comment below. I'd love to hear from you!

Bella's Wedding Dress for Breaking Dawn?

There has been much buzz about what Kristen will be wearing when Bella says "I do." And who-ever gets the honor of designing the gown, will be adored--or hated--by Twi-Hards around the world. :) But then again, they say that no publilcity is bad publicity.

Well, a few designers have shared their ideas about how they would dress Bella for the big day. The above look was created by Christian Siriano. Which look is your favorite?

Monique Lhuillier

Max Azria

Erin Featherston

Prabal Gurung

Lela Rose

Badgley Mischka

Zac Posen



Okay, now that you've seen them all which are your favorite? I really like Erin Featherston, Parabal Gurung, and Lela Rose. I don't know if they're right for Bella, but from a personal standpoint those are my faves. :) Tell me your thoughts below! I want to hear from you. [even if you hate Twilight]
