Michelle Yeoh - our heroine and Asian actress, gives fashion her own touch

Michelle Yeoh cannot bring us any surprises. Move over Angelina Jolie. This stellar Asian actress is one of the top action actresses out there today. She is a woman who has gained fame and fortune by starring in action films. Like leading male action hero Jackie Chan, Yeoh has been celebrated for performing her own death-defying stunts and handling her own fight scenes. Moreover, she has cultivated this reputation without compromising her femininity. Yeoh's formidable beauty, poise and winning personality are what brought her to top of her league. This ex-bond girl. (Yes she starred opposite Pierce Brosnan). Recently celebrated in the quake of her movie - The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Michelle shone in her decadent and beautiful Asian inspired costumes for this cool flick. As well as on the red carpet for the release of the movie.

Michelle is certainly not shy when it comes to being bright in yellow and gold pumps at her red carpet premiere of The Mummy 3

From ancient china to the future with Babylon AD. Michelle's new flick also co-stars one of my favorite action actors - Vin Diesel. Yes this futuristic thriller has Michelle doing what she knows best - karate.
And looking great of course! We love you Michelle!

Hot Celebrity Trend: How to Wear One-Shoulder Dresses

One of the most unexpected and surprisingly fresh trends of late summer seems to be the one-shoulder dress. Across the board, this vampy look is making waves with all types of celebrities. Whether they are going for an avant-garde look, or merely something youthful and fun, celebs are making this revolving trend their own again.

My favorite new twist on this hot again trend is the belted look. Blake lively turns an average blue dress into something fabulous with a simple cinch of the belt. For a more off-beat look, opt for a cap sleeve, like on Rachel Bilson. One of my favorite ways to wear the one-shoulder look is the "Grecian goddess" style, like on Jenny McCarthy. Gauzy fabrics and pleated gathers make for an ethereal yet sophisticated look on a one-shoulder dress.

Want to try this hot celebrity trend? Here's how to wear one-shoulder dresses:

Fun:

Look for bright colors and flirty details, while keeping it simple all at the same time. This trend will work best with a solid color (a print will make this style look dated). I absolutely love this one from Juicy Couture...it makes me want to go dancing!

Basic:

Yes, a one-shoulder dress can be basic, I promise. If you are hesitant to try this trend, go for a simple sheath in black first. This is perfect paired under a shrunken tuxedo jacket for work; nix the jacket for happy hour for a great desk-to-dinner look.

Still wondering what to do with that one-shoulder top you've been kicking around your closet since 2002? Resurrect it! If it is a solid color (black and white are going to work best), pair it with a pencil skirt in a matching or complimenting color and cinch in the middle with a belt. Voila! Instant dress! Try this trend out now while the weather is still warm, and let us know what you think of this look.

Steal This Style: How to Dress Like Kate Beckinsale

I have to admit that kate is one of my favorite celebrity's. This flawless beauty has such an exceptional sense of style from her hair to her make-up, and designer looks. She can have anyone on the brink of envy. But were here to grant that eternal wisdom on how to share that sophisticated look - called kate Beckinsale.

Kate B. donning the high pony tail look - But I want that look too! Here's how;

Spray hair with a light hair spray using Paul Mitchell's Super Clean Extra hairspray. And then use a Mason Pearson brush to pull hair into a high ponytail and secure with a strong elastic.

Kate's wardrobe consists of colors such as black, brown, blue, khaki and white. She keeps the attention on her beautiful face and amazing physique, instead of on what she's wearing.

Kate keeps it simple - Blue jeans and cropped silk top with beige handbag in leather, and daring high heels.

Kate matches her accessories to her outfits. Her purses compliment her look. So try to match your accessories, so they don't clash, and keep them neutral.

Keep it cute like Kate - accent jeans with a floral siphon or silk top for the summer.

Kate knows how to glam her look and style. So choose dresses that are classic and feminine, and that shine your good looks and natural beauty!

Fashion News: Details Holiday Issue: Follow the Rules: Dries Van Noten

In the upcoming holiday issue of Details magazine the cerebral Belgian designer on barbecue, black tie, and how to dress your kids.

1.
Gay men and straight men dress nearly the same now. Young people pick up styles of clothing without saying “This is too gay” or “This is too straight.”

2.
I have as much respect for somebody who knows how to cook perfectly on a barbecue as I do for a three-star chef. I don’t have respect for people who say “I’m not interested in food and wine,” because those are some of the joys of life.

3.
Everybody dresses the way they want to dress. David Beckham—he’s trying very hard. I’m not so fond of his look, but I think a lot of people consider it extremely stylish. So who am I to say it’s unstylish? I’m not a dictator.

4.
Kids should be dressed as kids, not as little grown-ups.

5.
Listen to what other people are saying about the way you dress, because in the end, fashion is a way of communicating. When you get your message wrong, it’s good that the people around you let you know.

6.
Smell is important. I love perfume, but the moment that you can smell it from far away, I don’t like it anymore. It has to be discreet.

7.
I don’t like it when men purposely dress incorrectly at a formal event. When it’s black tie, I dress black tie. But I give it my own personal twist.

8.
I like to wander around a city and pop into stores when I’m traveling. I try not to go back to the places I’ve found. I prefer to keep the memory of the magical moment I first walked in.

9.
I wear my hair short. I always go to the same hairdresser, who cuts it in 10 minutes. I love that. I’ve been going to him for 25 or 30 years now.

10.
You shouldn’t have a completely vintage look. Fashion has to move forward. We can’t live in the past.

Well Vested: Mandy Moore, Couture in the City Fashion Blog

Menswear isn't just for men...vests are super hot on us girls too, and Mandy Moore knows just how to properly rock one. By using a cropped vest in a corset-like manner, she turns a pretty, flowy top (that may have otherwise made her look pregs) into a totally chic and casual look.

Now I'm going to be honest...vests just don't work for me. I loved them circa 1992...I had quite a collection, most of which had tapestry embellishments. Some, even had jewels. Perhaps this is why I have an aversion to them now, on me at least. My best friend can add one to a t-shirt and a pair of jeans and look super cute, but I'm just not ready for that kind of flash back right now.

Anyhow, if you are the kind of fashionista who can take a cropped vest and take a boring ensemble from blah to "OMG, that's cute" then check out this one from Kahri: guaranteed to make everyone ask where you got it from with envy.
