Claire Julien Sure Likes Her Little White Dresses!

Monday, June 17, 2013

The Bling Ring actress and breakout star Claire Julien was spotted wearing a little white dress twice: first, at the Bling Ring photo call at the 66th Cannes Film Festival and, second, prior to the film’s New York premiere on June 11.

We can’t really blame her for loving white — no color is as fresh and young-looking! Plus, she accented both of her looks with texture (knit, mesh, and lace) and jewelry (statement-making earrings and ring).

The Bling Ring is loosely based on real-life characters. Some celeb-crazed teens from Los Angeles conspired to break into celebrity homes to get a peek into the Hollywood life. They were so mesmerized by the vast amounts of designer goodies in the homes of Lindsay Lohan, Paris Hilton, and Miranda Kerr that they even tried them on and eventually robbed the homes as well.

Taylor Swift Wears the Bandage Dress for the MuchMusic Video Awards!

Monday, June 17, 2013

Can you picture Taylor Swift in a body-hugging Herve Leger dress? Probably not. But now you don’t have to because the country cutie actually wore one to the 2013 MuchMusic Video Awards held in Canada yesterday.

Taylor shed her usual style for a more daring black-and-white bandage dress and even gave her pretty peep toes a day off so she could slip into some strappy cage sandals from Christian Louboutin. She also styled her hair differently and wore vampy makeup to complete the sexy bombshell ensemble. Check out Taylor below, and tell us what you think.

So, how do you like Taylor’s latest red carpet style?

It’s a little hard to process given how we’ve been so accustomed to her girly way of dressing, but it seems the young singer is telling us that she’s all grown up and ready to take on more daring outfits.

Now, speaking of the outfit, we can’t say we love it 100%, though we don’t hate it either. Bandage dresses are perfect for women with shapely figures. Taylor, on the other hand, has a slim frame, and, sadly, she didn’t fill out the dress enough to make it look va-va-voom. She might have also chosen the wrong neckline. An off-shoulder Herve Leger frock would have looked better on her.

Overall, however, Taylor still looked pretty in the dress. Would you agree? We also love how she paired it with edgy and modern Louboutins. Her shoes are currently available for pre-order at Neiman Marcus if you’re interested.

As for the black-and-white dress, it isn’t available online yet. But you can try the following Herve Leger alternatives instead. These are just as sexy and as fabulous:
