Celebrity Inspired Dresses

The 2017 Radio Disney Music Awards were held on April 29th at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, with so many of Disney's most celebrated celebrities in attendance. With the celebs dressed in their best, of course, some of our favorite dress designers could be found on the red carpet. One of those designers was Johnathan Kayne!

The trio of sisters Southern Halo rocked the red carpet in Johnathan Kayne, and looked so gorgeous.

Breakout artist Tally, aka Tallraps, was set to perform at the awards show. She was ready to put on an amazing performance, but unfortunately her performance clothes never arrived. After asking around, Tally found Johnathan Kayne, asking for help days before the award show. Of course, Johnathan Kayne stepped right in.  Continue reading →

Jimmy Kimmel certainly made for a hilarious night, hosting the 89th Academy Awards on Sunday, February 26th at the Dolby Theatre in Los Angeles, California. From surprising a group of tourists by bringing them into the theater to meet their favorite celebrities, to re-creating a famous scene from Lion King, to tweeting the President, to his always spot-on humor, he had us smiling and laughing, a perfect balance to some of the awards winners bringing us to tears with their acceptance speeches.

While we loved the show, as always, our eyes were glued to the red carpet. The 2017 Oscars had so many gorgeous looks, but there were two celebrity looks in particular that we were obsessing over: Emma Stone and Jessica Biel. They both wore shimmery golden dresses that were reminiscent of the golden oscar award every nominee was hoping to claim as their own. Check out what they wore below and how to get their looks for prom!

Emma Stone at the 2017 Oscars

Actress Emma Stone wore a pretty gold gown with beautiful embroidered details and fringe, reminiscent of dresses from the roaring 1920s. She let the stunning dress speak for itself by keeping the jewelry to a minimum, only accessorizing with a ring and statement earrings. She topped the look off with bold red lips.

Get an elegantly patterned look like Emma's Oscar dress with Intrigue by Blush 315, an eccentric gown that's covered in an intricate design of glimmering sequins. The fitted bodice has a sweetheart neckline, just like Emma's dress, and sequined spaghetti straps, which cross-cross over an open back for a totally unique look. The column skirt grazes your curves, giving off a similar silhouette to Emma's Oscars look, then drapes into an elegant train.

Jessica Biel at the 2017 Oscars

Actress Jessica Biel went all-in with gold, rocking a floor-length gown with long sleeves. The beautiful sparkly dress was topped off with a gold purse and gold choker style necklace. because her accessories were as bold as her dress, Jessica kept her makeup simple, with a soft pink lip.

Sparkle just like Jessica at the Oscars with Primavera style 1743. Style 1743 is a uniquely beaded and sequin floor-length gown that features long sleeves and a train, just like Jessica's dress. Add more gold by pairing with a purse like La Regale RL50011 Mini Mesh Wristlest, or keep the accessories more simple and rock bold makeup and nails like in the photo above.

A gold dress is certainly a perfect choice for prom if you're looking to feel like a starlet on the prom dance floor. Whether you dress up the look with bold makeup, like Emma, or bold accessories, like Jessica, you'll be shimmering all night long.

January 2017 is here, and Awards Season is in full swing! Last week, it was all princess vibes at the 2017 Golden Globes, with both Lily Collins and Lola Kirke wearing pretty, soft pink gowns on the red carpet. This week, it's People's Choice Awards time!

The 43rd People's Choice Awards, which honored the best in popular culture for 2016, was held this past Wednesday, January 18, 2017 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles, California. The awards show was so much fun to watch, and of course the red carpet was full of fabulous looks!

While there were so many celebrities in pretty dresses on the 2017 People's Choice Awards red carpet, our eye was on one celeb: Jodie Sweetin. If you don't recognize the name, you'll certainly recognize the character she place on TV. Jodie plays Stephanie Tanner on the sitcoms Full House and Fuller House! Of course, everyone loves Full House. Netflix has brought it back in such style with the new TV show Fuller House, and everyone has fallen in love with Stephanie and DJ Tanner all over again.

While we love watching Jodie on Fuller House, we couldn't believe how sweet (pun intended) she looked on the People's Choice Awards red carpet! Partly because she always looks so stunning, and partly because she was wearing one of our favorite dress designers: Sherri Hill!  Continue reading →

With a new year means that it's time for Awards Season! Yesterday, Sunday January 8, 2017 marked the HFPA's 74th Golden Globe Awards ceremony, and the night was so much fun, from the red carpet to the awards show. The ceremony honored the best in film and television from 2016 and took place at The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California. This year, Jimmy Fallon hosted, and awards were given out for all types of movies and shows, from "La La Land" to "The Crown." Meryl Streep even received a lifetime achievement award!

But, that's enough on the actual event. It's time to get to the good stuff: the red carpet, of course! With prom season just around the corner, the Golden Globes red carpet is a prime place for prom dress ideas, and the 2017 Golden Globes certainly didn't disappoint.

While there were so many prom perfect trends on the red carpet, from plunging necklines to sparkly sequins, there were two celebrities that absolutely blew us away with their dresses. Those two celebrities were Lily Collins and Lola Kirke! They both gave off absolute princess vibes in their pink ball gowns, and we couldn't be more obsessed. See what they wore below and how you can rock their looks for prom.

Lily Collins at the 2017 Golden Globes

All we can say is OMG! Actress and model Lily Collins knows how to walk a red carpet in style with her beautifully elegant pink lace ball gown. She topped it off perfectly for a classic princess look with dark red lipstick.

Get Lily's elegant pink princess look with Sherri Hill 50844. This ball gown features a fitted, satin bodice that has an illusion plunge neckline, sheer modesty panel, and U-shaped back. The tiered, lace, a-line skirt is cinched with a beaded waistband, totally reminiscent of a classic storybook romance, just like Lily's dress.  Continue reading →

If you follow former MTV reality TV star Lauren Conrad, you know how big Halloween is for her. Every year, she comes up with her very own DIY Halloween costume ideas, and they're pretty incredible... and totally classy. We especially love Lauren's Halloween ideas, because they tend to pair perfectly with re-using your prom or homecoming dress or your favorite little black dress. Last year, she put together a cute DIY Party Animal costume, and this year she has a brand new idea for you!

Lauren Conrad's 2016 Halloween costume DIY idea is... circus performers! Lauren explains that she came up with the idea a few months ago (she's clearly serious about Halloween) when she saw a sequin star dress from Valentino's Star Studded collection. It had her thinking how totally chic it would be to put a pastel and sparkly twist on a regular circus performer costume, and that she did!  Continue reading →

Comedian Kate McKinnon has been taking the media by storm, through her Ellen DeGeneres and Hilary Clinton impressions on Saturday Night Live to her incredible performance in the Ghostbusters re-boot this year. Through all of her hard work and ability to bring joy and laughter to millions of people, she finally took home her first Emmy award at this year's 68th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards ceremony! She won the 2016 Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Emmy Award.

While everyone is so happy for her win, people can't stop talking about her acceptance speech. She was so surprised that she blurted out, "I'm shaking!" while giving her speech, and even said that she was crying. She gave the normal "thank you's" to family and those who have helped her within the industry. She gave a shout-out to her now deceased father, explaining that he made her start watching SNL when she was 12. She also managed to fit in thanking the two celebrities that helped bring her to fame: Ellen DeGeneres and Hillary Clinton.

The best part? Hillary Clinton responded on Twitter that she's big fans of Kate, and offered her congratulations! She even posted a meme of Kate doing an impression of Mrs. Clinton. Check out the tweet from the presidential nominee below.  Continue reading →

If you've ever watched the show Six in the City, you know it's full of some very talented girls. No, we don't mean Carrie Bradshaw, Samantha, Charlotte, and Maranda from Sex and the City. Six in the City is its own TV series. It's a reality TV show, to be exact, about six girls who lead normal lives at home, but also have amazing modeling and acting careers in NYC. What sounds special about that, you ask? These girls are all just kids!

One of the girls that stars in the show is Kendall Beaulieu, an 8 year old model and actress. If you've ever checked out her Facebook page, you'll know that she not only loves being in the city, but also enjoys spending time with her BFF, dancing, and playing soccer.

Kendall's an eight year old gal on the move. Not only is she a big model and actress in NYC, but she recently got to attend the 2016 Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, CA this past Sunday, July 31st. While we love watching the award ceremonies, of course the first thing on our mind is always the red carpet looks. So, what could you imagine that Kendall wore on the famous blue carpet? A dress from Rissy Roo's, of course!

Since Kendall and her family live on the East Coast, close to our store in Linwood, New Jersey, her and her mom, Korrie, stopped by to pick out a dress for her big event. Being the 8 year old that she is, she instantly gravitated to the Lexi by Mon Cheri collection, dresses that designer Mon Cheri specifically created for girls that are Kendall's age! The Six in the City star picked out the pretty two-piece dress Lexi by Mon Cheri TW11663. It's a sleeveless ombre number that features a hand-beaded satin cropped top.  Continue reading →

Ninety's fashion has made a huge comeback this year, seeing celebs like Kendall and Kylie Jenner and Gigi Hadid rocking those ever famous 90s style chokers and goth inspired looks. We certainly can't complain, especially since the 1990s seem to be making a comeback in a huge way well beyond fashion. Just yesterday, sequels to 1990s popular movies The Blair Witch Project and Trainspotting were announced, and one of our all-time favorite actresses who we've been waiting patiently to take over the spotlight once again has done just that: Winona Ryder! The popular 1990s actress who was famous for Tim Burton movies like Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, as well as Girl, Interrupted, is finally back in the limelight in a big way in Netflix's newest sci-fi series Stranger Things.

With the comeback of both Winona and 90s fashion, we wanted to give a fashion flashback to some of the formal outfits that made Winona that 1990s fashion icon she's become known for. After all, as Vice noted in their article "The Timeless Appeal of Winona Ryder, Hollywood's Eternal Outsider," Winona was "the cult face of the 90s." See four of our favorite outfits below, and of course how you can take a cue from them for a perfect fall Homecoming look.

Winona at the NATO/ShoWest Convention, 1990

Winona wore that classic goth look in a totally elegant way, wearing a black v-neck dress, a worn-in leather jacket, black hair, and dark red lips. Of course, you can never go wrong with Johnny Depp on your shoulder! In this picture, Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp were at the NATO/ShowWest Convention in Las Vegas, NV in February of 1990.  Continue reading →
