Ever wonder what it's like to be styled by not just one, but TWO brilliant designers?
Kylie Minogue is a seasoned diva who's reached the stars and is now headed for the outerlying galaxies in her Aphrodite "Les Foiles" world tour this year. Clad head to toe in sparkling, feathered, shining, transparent, and golden numbers designed specially for her by Dolce & Gabbana themselves, Minogue is living out every little girl's dream.
Above, lounging about with the world renowned designers and flaunting her new oufit, as well as her lovely stems, this woman really knows how to shine!
It is this golden corset (above) that is the base of almost all of her outfits. What a great stylistic choice made by Dolce & Gabbanna for this tour. Without a doubt Kylie Minogue, has to change outfits many, many times throughout every set. This way, she just throws pieces over her gold corset for dramatic effect. See the video below for a behind the scenes of her fittings.
You can tell from the way she interacts with the costumes, that Kylie Minogue is a true performer, so at ease with her body and its movements.
Anyone going to see her perform for the Aphrodite "Les Foiles" tour?
Embracing the key trends of Spring 2011 and spurred mostly by Gucci's Spring 2011 Ready To Wear show, this editorial for Harper's Bazaar UK February 2011 really does rock our sense of color theory. Photographer Nobert Schoerner hits the spot in every photo!
Above, model Ruby Aldrige, sets the scene of sophisticated luxury in a satin Gucci jumpsuit.
Hot, on and off the runway, this Yves Saint Laurent gown is gravity defiant and out-of-this world cool.
In contrast with the blues and greens of the outside world, the interior life of this woman is wrapped in the warmth of Miu Miu and all shades of yellows, oranges, and reds.
Chloé is helplessly 70's and should be presented as so. Here, I can barely tell that this was actually shot this year!
Who wouldn't want to take a mid-day stretch in a chartreuse gown in a luxury house this beautiful?
Walks outside are made easy in this split Lanvin maxi dress! I wish!
I never thought I'd see a Dolce & Gabbanna mini dress used for a mid-day cool off... but then again why not?
In my favorite shot, a brilliant shade of blue and the exquisite cut out panels on the side of this gown are framed in parched desert browns.

Perfume is a funny thing. While it's extremely personal (umm...it's what you smell like), it's also very public (everyone else can smell it too).
So here's a couple of the Lulu*s staff favorites, and I must say, we smell pretty darn good.

I am positively in love with these photos of Scarlett Johansson from the new Dolce & Gabbana makeup campaign.

The MTV Movie Awards happened this past weekend and we're here with the fashion highlights.
We already covered Katie Perry wiggin' out on the red carpet, but who else was rocking the carpet?

Twilight star Kristen Stewart shined in a metallic Dolce and Gabbana piece. Definitely looking fashion forward with a messy ponytail paired with the structured mixed metallic outfit.
High School Musical star Vanessa Hudgens wore Jenny Packham. This dress is fun, flowy, and perfect for summer.
Scarlett Johansson kept it classy in her D&G Green Lace Dress. She kept her look fun and classic with a great color and simple black pumps.
What do you think? What was your favorite look for the night?
Denim is like the comfort food of clothing. Rare is the girl without a pair of blue jeans in her closet, and no matter what sundress I wear, my blue denim crop jacket always seems like the perfect companion.
But denim on denim was a place I dared not venture. That is, until I saw the trend step stylishly on the Spring 2010 runway.
One trick to pulling off the trend is to mix up the washes and textures. Pair a distressed jean with a crisp jacket or a light, chambray top with dark blue skinnies.
I love the two looks pictured above from Ralph Lauren and D&G. For even more inspiration, check out the street stylin' bloggers below found on Lookbook.nu!

How would you sport the trend?
Jillian Clare is a hot-rising 17-year-old actress most recognized from her award-winning performance as Abby Deveraux on NBC's Days of Our Lives. She is currently leading the cast of a web series and social network called Miss Behave, set to premiere in June, about real teens with everyday issues.
Not only is she an actress, she is a LuLu*s fasionista as well! Whether she is on the red carpet, filming, or out and about around town, Jillian is always spotted wearing designs from Lulus.com.
In the picture at left, Jillian looked fabulous on the red carpet wearing our Always Have Paris Dress at the Multicultural Harmony Benefit Gala on March 13. Below, Jillian is workin' it in a stylish outfit paired with the Sun City Handbag by Melie Bianco.
Below is a photo from Day 1 of filming Miss Behave
We were lucky enough to interview Jillian Clare to find out about her style, career and inspiration.
What is your favorite thing about Lulus.com clothes and accessories?
I love being able to go onto LuLu's and choose an entire outfit! Plus, with LuLu's, I know that I can trust the fabric, the sizes and the overall quality of the pieces.
Do you have a favorite item on Lulus.com?
I recently went on the site and fell in love with the Jeffrey Campbell Buckles Leather Hardware Heel! They're pretty incredible! I'm also completely in love with the Black Eyed Pea Minidress. I might just have to order those! =)
How were you introduced to Lulus.com?
I found out about LuLu*s through my new web series, Miss Behave. All the girls' wardrobes were provided by Lulus.com! Let's just say when it came time to take off my wardrobe, I was very reluctant. I can't tell you how many times I've wanted to wear those outfits outside of the show!
How would you describe your style in regards to hair, make-up and clothes? Is there any particular decade that you draw inspiration from?
I'm constantly changing how I do my eye make-up. One day, I'll go all out with smokey eyes and black eye shadow and lots of liner, and the next, it'll be very simple light eye shadow and just a little mascara. I'm also really into anything vintage and try to find pieces from the 40's and 50's that I can modernize a little.
What are some wardrobe basics that you can't live without?
My leather jacket! I wear it everywhere. It's become a huge staple in my wardrobe. I've also fallen into the white v-neck and black skinny jeans trend. It's simple and always looks good!
What fashion trends have you seen recently that you love?
The 2 finger rings! It's such a cool concept and they look incredible! Instead of wearing multiple rings and having it look a bit over the top, you can just wear your 2 finger ring! It's a statement without being too much. I also love all the ruffle collars I've been seeing; very girly and fun!
What is one fashion item you splurge on when it comes to completing your look?
My heels! I'm obsessed when it comes to shoes, especially my heels. I went through my closet and counted how many I had one day and lets just say it ran upward of 80 pairs!
How did you get into acting?
Believe it or not, my singing is what got me into acting! When I was 6 years old, I put on a 12-song show all by myself at the local state and county fairs in Washington state. After one of my performances, a talent scout had asked my parents and I if I had ever tried acting, which hadn't even crossed our minds. My parents signed me up for an acting class and I fell in love with it! I still sing but acting has taken over my life! I really can't imagine doing anything else.
Has being an actress and being in the spotlight made you more aware of clothes that flatter your body?
Absolutely! With all the fittings you have to do when you book a job, it becomes clear what your body can and can't pull off. For instance, I know that most jumpers won't look good on me because of my height and I know that strapless dresses look great because of my shoulders. (They're not too boney and they're not boxy looking.) I think you just have to experiment to truly know how your body handles certain pieces. Not all clothes are gonna look good on you, unless you're Marilyn Monroe, of course.
What do you love most about your job?
I love the fact that I get to go to work and not really feel like I'm working, because I'm truly doing what I love! I love getting in the mindset of someone completely different than me and be able to express how they feel and let that character take over. It's such an exhilarating process.
How has your style changed throughout your career?
Well, since I've grown up in the business, as I mature, so does my fashion sense. I'm getting into the phase of wearing things that can really show off my body while still being really classy.
Are there any celebrities that you draw fashion inspiration from? Who is your biggest fashion influence currently?
I love Sienna Miller's style. I read an interview once where she was asked how she chose this certain dress she wore to an event, and she said she just found it in her closet and threw it on. She pulls off that "I don't really care" look while still looking incredible. She also tends to wear dark colors and that's definitely something I lean towards also. Kim Kardashian is a huge influence lately. I love how she combines sexy and sophisticated!
Who are your favorite designers?
I've always loved Valentino, Dolce & Gabbana and Marc Jacobs! I've also recently become a fan of Zac Posen!
What is a fashion must-have for Spring and Summer?
Your classic short shorts. I've noticed that's a huge must-have on all the hot must-haves lists that have come out lately!
Milan fashion week has ended and we should take a minute (Paris fashion week has already started rolling) to remember some of the "moments" from the shows.
*Prada's "plus-size" models and curvaceously tailored dresses
*Dolce & Gabbana's re-cap of their history ending in an army of girls with no pants on
*Dsquared² laboratory Frankenstein power dressing
