Superhero Fashion Scene

By -
When I think of the stylistic elements of superhero costumes that would translate well on the red carpet, I think primary colors, metallics, big belts, capes and big shoulders.

Vogue editor Anna Wintour hit shoulders and metallic in her Chanel couture gown, and she looked every inch the ice queen. Models Amber Valletta and Mischa Barton (because she's a better model than actress) both went the Anna route of glitz and big shoulders. (Why was Amber the only person I saw in anything resembling a cape? Use the excuse, people!) Poor Mischa is going to be fugged and criticized for her choice Missoni of dress, but I think the shoulders and sequins are dramatic without overwhelming her. Plus, the trendy neutrals are nice on her skin.

Back on the bright side were my two favorite looks of the night. Christina Ricci was stunning in a floor length rose hued haute couture Givenchy. While the bodice part is a nice homage to Wonder Woman, it also lengthens her petite legs. I bet walking in that swirl of chiffon was a marshmellowy dream. Also getting high marks for fabulousity were designer Zac Posen and his date Kate Mara in primary colors who together gave off a clear Superman vibe without having to don briefs over pants.

What we looked like in 2009 Ten years ago I created, Fashion Me Fabulous, wrote up a handful of posts, picked a layout and send it all to my friend, Jael. “I’ve started a fashion blog. What do you think?” She gave me a few tips, wrote a couple “guest posts” and before long became my blogging partner. Together, we built a blog and community I could have never built alone. From the end of 2007 to the end of 2014, Fashion Me Fabulous ran regular content about fun, affordable fashion. Jael and I covered fashion week , reviewed fashion books , wrote about fashion history and did more shopping than seems humanly possible to search out the best clothes and accessories . We explored our personal styles , scoured Etsy for unique creations . I watched every single episode of Project Runway and blogged about it. Jael created an amazing presence on Polyvore . We learned all sorts of things about coding and websites and content and graphic design and so on. (You can tell if you look at

Dramatic Makeup

October is the perfect month for anyone who loves a dramatic look. Because of Halloween, you can get away with more in the makeup department than you can the rest of the year. You want to try false eyelashes? Go for it. You want to color your eyebrows? Do it. Color outside the lines with eyeshadow? Why not? Live it up so much in October that people will think black lipstick in November is practically normal.
