2012 Golden Globe Awards Red Carpet Black Dresses
The safe choice for evening wear, the queen of all dresses, the Little Black Dress (shorter or longer, simpler or more intricate) was a sure bet for the 2012 edition of the Golden Globe Awards.
Not as numerous as the white-ish, pale neutrals, soft gowns we talked about earlier, the black dresses were equally gorgeous, maybe even more interesting, fashion wise, than the rest. My favorite was, of course, Meryl Streep. A fashion winner, not just a Golden Globe winner! (she took home the Golden Globe for the Best Actress Award for her interpretation in the Iron Lady – once again, Anna Wintour picks the winners for Vogue’s cover) She’s wearing Alessandra Rich, and even if it was a bed sheet or table cloth or both, all I know is that it’s totally her, it suits her, it looks amazingly comfortable and she may wear whatever she pleases, she’ll still be the great Meryl Streep! (I realize I may be all alone in my corner while the entire world is casting fashion stones at Meryl’s dress choice for last night). The story continues right after the jump (you can click here for the gallery!)
You know, there’s something odd happening now – when I did that creamy story earlier, I had good and bad. Now (maybe it’s because of the amazingly good coffee I’m drinking right this moment) I can’t seem to find any flaws in the ranks of the black dresses wearers! Salma Hayek’s black Gucci with golden geometrical embroidery on the dresses’ corset is truly flattering on Salma’s body (notice her ombre hair? If Pinault’s lady has gradient hair, it’s a trend for sure!). And that Prada dress with green upper body that has taken over Zooey Deschanel’s usually quirky baby doll-ish style? It’s amazing! I loved her transformation!
Fashion News: Dina Manzo’s advice for feuding ‘Real Housewives’
Former “Real Housewives of New Jersey” star Dina Manzo has moved on and is hosting a show on HGTV. But she has some words of wisdom for her feuding former cast mates, Teresa Guidice and Caroline Manzo. “Let’s lift each other up instead of trying to tear one another down. Let’s showcase what women are capable of, what I thought this show was going to be back in the day: Running successful businesses, supporting amazing causes, raising incredible children and looking fabulous every step of the way.” [People]
Young Hollywood — and some young fans — turned out Saturday for the 5th annual “Variety Power of Youth” at Paramount Studios in Los Angeles. Receiving awards for their charitable contributions were Darren Criss of “Glee” (in photo at left), Angus T. Jones of “Two and a Half Men,” Hailee Steinfeld of “True Grit,” Chloe Moretz of “Let Me In,” Rico Rodriguez of “Modern Family,” Bailee Madison of “Just Go With It” and Hayden Panettiere of “Heroes.” [Society News LA]
The amazingly creative and industrious Karl Lagerfeld, creative director of Chanel, announced he is cutting back on collaborations to bring back his own signature lines. The first of the two women’s collections is set to launch Jan. 25. The lower-priced line, “Karl,” will range from about $ 85 to $ 415. The higher-priced collection, “Karl Lagerfeld Paris,” will be about $ 415 to $ 3,460. [The Cut]

[Updated] Upscale bridal consignment store to open in West Los Angeles
A new boutique is opening in West Los Angeles for brides-to-be with champagne tastes on a Budweiser spending budget.
White Magnolia, a consignment bridal boutique featuring gowns from swanky brands such as Monique Lhuillier, Anne Barge, Stephen Yearick and Jim Hjelm, will launch this Saturday at 2500 S. Sepulveda Blvd.
All the dresses set to debut at the boutique have either been donated (with proceeds on the sale promised to charitable organization, Gowns for Very good) or are on consignment. Each and every dress originally retailed for much more than $ 1,500, is much less than 5 years old and is in very good-to-great shape.
The Bridal Beat: A Moment With Monique Lhuillier
GlamChic caught up with Monique Lhuillier immediately after her magnificent Fall 2011 Bridal Collection hit the runway on Sunday. The designer, whose wedding gowns are coveted by stylish brides everywhere, shared her tips on the season’s must have accessory, hottest trends, and how to know when you’ve found the one. ~Nola Weinstein
GlamChic: What trends are standing out for Fall 2011?
Lhuillier: Minis are back! Brides have been requesting more and more short dresses.They are looking to have fun on the big day. Separates are also very popular. Brides are embracing the embellished corset and skirt combo.
GlamChic: Is there one accessory brides should invest in?
Lhuillier: Veils are very important. I really love a beautiful gown with a plain veil. There is no need for alot of detail or embellishment. A small bouquet completes the look. Keep your flower arrangement simple and elegant.
GlamChic: Any advice for brides looking for the perfect gown?
Lhuillier: Keep an open mind. Try on as much as possible. Whatever gown speaks to you is your dress!

The Bridal Beat: The Bergdorf Goodman Bridal Salon
l
Shopping for the perfect wedding gown can be both stressful and frustrating. But one step into the Bergdorf Goodman Bridal Salon and the process instantly becomes an exhilarating and stylish experience. You don’t know where to look first. This Tuesday I had the pleasure of attending the Spring 2010 bridal preview and was immediately smitten with several stunning confections. Designers like Monique Lhuillier, Marchesa, J. Mendel, Ines Di Santo, Jay Ahr and Oscar de la Renta have each created exclusive gowns for the retailer. I’m a sucker for ruffles and lace and this season there seems to be an elegant abundance of both. If you’re looking for a stylish oasis in the overwhelming bridal market, we suggest making an appointment at Bergdorf Goodman; call to schedule yours at 212-872-8957. It’s an obvious choice for bride’s with impeccable taste. Bring along mom and the maids of honor for the experience; start with lunch at BG and get ready to try on true works of art~Nola Weinstein.
