Lena Dunham in Valentino | HBO’s “Girls” Season 2 New York Premiere

WHO: Lena Dunham
WHERE & WHEN: HBO’s “Girls” Season 2 New York Premiere on January 9, 2013.
WEARING: Valentino

MY VERDICT: Lena joined her “Girls” costars for the red carpet celebration of their second season in NYC where she opted for an on-trend jumpsuit by Valentino. The 26-year-old actress rocked the strapless black tuxedo one piece with tech suiting, slim fitting legs, and a white contrast band across the top of the bodice that transforms into a dramatic oversize bow at the back. I’m a big fan of jumpsuits, and this is has been one of my favorites since I saw Gwyneth Paltrow wear it at her 40th birthday party last year.

I think the style suits Lena’s laid-back and cool personality, but I don’t think this jumpsuit was her best choice. It was ill-fitting from start to finish and seemed to appear uncomfortable. This is supposed to have a slouchy appearance, but it’s too loose in some areas and the opposite in others here. Sometimes it’s not about what you’re wearing, but how you’re wearing it–and if it doesn’t look like it fits, it’s definitely not going to highlight you in the best way.

Light makeup and a perfectly unkempt pixie finished Lena’s premiere look.

Allison Williams promoted the second season of her hit HBO drama “Girls” yesterday with an appearance on the MuchMusic show “New.Music.Live.” in Toronto, Canada.  The 25-year-old actress wore a sassy strapless ruby red textured mini dress by J. Mendel, which is piped all over in a dark metallic grey; it comes from the Resort 2013 collection by designer Gilles Mendel.

I liked the shiny patent element when it was presented with the lookbook, but judging by these photos of Allison, I feel like it lost that factor on her.  | continue reading..

Ted has what you need!

“I started off on dry hair by creating a roughed up texture. I rubbed Ted Gibson Hairsheet into her hair concentrating on the ends before blow-drying with a smaller round brush so that I can give the hair a slight bend to the hair. After the hair dried, I pinned everything with clips till it cooled. | continue reading..

It feels like out of nowhere Lena Dunham burst out onto the scene and now she’s practically the talk of the town due to the success of her hit new HBO series “Girls”.

The 25-year-old actress was dressed by Wes Gordon for her MET Gala debut on Monday evening in NYC where she wore a forrest green mullet dress from Gordon’s Fall 2012 collection.

During the presentation the lining of the sleeveless design was a bright orange color, but Gordon customized Lena’s dress to feature a lighter blue. This backdrop allowed for Lena’s neon pink pumps to really stand out.

She finished off her look by partly pinning back her curly tresses.
