5 Easy Pieces, 1 Perfect Look – Maggie Gyllenhaal

April 14th // Comment Here

I’ve always loved the way these sloped-shoulder blouses look, but have avoided them because I think they often do bad things for your upper body. I tried one on once and it literally made me look five pounds heavier. But leave it to Maggie Gyllenhaal to uncover the simple secret to making these tops actually flattering!

The secret is… a belt.

By carving out her waist, she gets away with all that volume on top. And straight-leg jeans keep her bottom half totally streamlined. Here are the pieces you need to give this western, vintage-inspired look a go at home.

Steal this Look: Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Frosted Pink Lips

March 15th // 2 Comments

No matter the occasion, I always look forward to seeing what Maggie Gyllenhaal is wearing. You can count on her to go out and find a dress from an unexpected designer, and her red carpet walk at the Oscars was no exception. The Indie darling wore a boldly printed blue gown plucked straight from Dries van Noten’s Fall 2010 runway.

My favorite part was her daring choice of lipstick. The frosted candy color with the blue of her dress was stunning. But in a place where you will most likely be flanked by a red background the fear of stumbling into a clashing surrounding is real. But luckily, Maggie avoided that scenario like a pro. Do you think the combination works?

What’s Your Signature Evening Style? Prints or Solids?

March 11th // 1 Comment

Solid-color dresses ruled at the Academy Awards – just look at Twilight stars Anna Kendrick and Kristen Stewart. I lean towards one color gowns myself, but I couldn’t take my eyes off of Maggie Gyllenhaal’s strapless, Impressionist-print sheath by Dries Van Noten. Just the fact that she wore a print set her apart, and now I feel inspired to step out of the box with my clothing choices next time I go to an event!

Steal This Look: Maggie Gyllenhaal’s Berry-Stained Lips

January 25th // Comment Here

It’s only been a few weeks since I wrote about Marc Jacob’s magenta-tinged lips at his spring runway show, and it seems that the trend is spreading like wildfire. Maggie Gyllenhaal is the perfect embodiment of how to translate an intimidating trend from the runway to a red carpet look that you can easily do at home. She chose a color that has just enough berry to balance out the pink tones—something that’s vital considering we’re still in the middle of winter and anything too pink is going to make you look ghostly. And, it has a slight glossy sheen that suits her pixie look perfectly.

How to Wear High-Rise Denim like Maggie Gyllenhaal

January 8th // Comment Here

Actress Maggie Gyllenhaal, star of the new film Crazy Heart, has an eye for mixing offbeat patterns and vintage shapes with a sharp, modern sensibility. As revealed in last week’s New York Times, she especially loves high-rise denim from J Brand Jeans (sold at Piperlime and Neiman Marcus): “They hold you in and come up high,” she says. We’re already big fans of the label’s universally flattering fit. Their high-waisted styles are perfect with a shrunken blazer or fitted sweater: leg-lengthening and ‘70s-ish in the best possible way.
