celebrity dresses

Ninety's fashion has made a huge comeback this year, seeing celebs like Kendall and Kylie Jenner and Gigi Hadid rocking those ever famous 90s style chokers and goth inspired looks. We certainly can't complain, especially since the 1990s seem to be making a comeback in a huge way well beyond fashion. Just yesterday, sequels to 1990s popular movies The Blair Witch Project and Trainspotting were announced, and one of our all-time favorite actresses who we've been waiting patiently to take over the spotlight once again has done just that: Winona Ryder! The popular 1990s actress who was famous for Tim Burton movies like Edward Scissorhands and Beetlejuice, as well as Girl, Interrupted, is finally back in the limelight in a big way in Netflix's newest sci-fi series Stranger Things.

With the comeback of both Winona and 90s fashion, we wanted to give a fashion flashback to some of the formal outfits that made Winona that 1990s fashion icon she's become known for. After all, as Vice noted in their article "The Timeless Appeal of Winona Ryder, Hollywood's Eternal Outsider," Winona was "the cult face of the 90s." See four of our favorite outfits below, and of course how you can take a cue from them for a perfect fall Homecoming look.

Winona wore that classic goth look in a totally elegant way, wearing a black v-neck dress, a worn-in leather jacket, black hair, and dark red lips. Of course, you can never go wrong with Johnny Depp on your shoulder! In this picture, Winona Ryder and Johnny Depp were at the NATO/ShowWest Convention in Las Vegas, NV in February of 1990.  Continue reading →

Stars from all industries came together to celebrate Broadway at the 2016 Tony Awards a couple of weeks ago. The show was full of many laughs, some somber moments as stars stood in solidarity with Orlando, stunning performances, and beautiful red carpet looks, of course.

Last week, we showed you some of our favorite Faviana dresses that were on the 2016 Tonys red carpet, and this week we're going to show you two gorgeous ways to get similar celeb Tony dresses with Faviana look-a-likes. Read on to see two of our favorite looks of the night and how you can re-create them for your next formal event.

Sleek & Sexy

Silk was a popular dress choice for the Tony's red carpet, seen on actresses Jessica Lange, Keltie Knight, and Saycon Sengbloh. We especially loved the tend on Jourdan Dunn, though, who rocked a champagne pink Zac Posen gown.

For a similar champagne-colored silk look, go with Faviana 7755, one of our hottest sellers and perfect for any event from homecoming, to being a guest at a wedding, to a charity event, prom, or any other special occasion.  Continue reading →

Our favorite dress designers can always be found on some of the most hotly anticipated red carpets, with the most recent sighting being Faviana on the 2016 Tony Awards red carpet. The 70th Annual Tony Awards was held on June 12, and Joelle Garguilo and Donna Karger were reporting straight from the red carpet to show off all of the hottest celebrity dresses. Of course, if they are reporting on celeb looks, they have to be dressed to impress, as well. So, the two reporters wowed the crowds themselves in Faviana dresses. Read on to see what they wore!

New York Live's reporter and producer, Joelle Garguilo, looked sultry in Faviana 7755, one of our hottest sellers. The plunging v-neck on this faille satin dress ads the perfect amount of allure to an otherwise simplistic and classic design, making it so perfect for just about any occasion. Whether homecoming, guest of a wedding, a charity event, or the red carpet, this style is classic and classy. The front is draped, which adds texture to the full length skirt, a high slit reveals a tantalizing touch of skin, and the back is adorned with thin straps and ruching in a manner that provides a slimming effect, flattering the figure in all the right spots.

You can see Joelle in action on the Tony's red carpet in the below video. She opened up her segment by mentioning that all eyes are on the musical Hamilton, but our eyes were on her in that gorgeous Faviana dress!  Continue reading →

The Met Gala is the event of all events when it comes to fashion... one may basically call it the prom of the fashion industry. Each year has its own theme, and the 2016 Met Gala theme was Manus x Machina: Fashion in an Age of Technology. The idea behind the theme was to explore and appreciate how technology has played a significant role in the fashion industry.

A lot of the celebrity gals who walked the 2016 Met Gala Red Carpet wore gorgeous sparkly, silver gowns, giving an ode to robots and machinery. But, one celebrity literally sparkled at the Met Gala: Claire Danes. The "tech white tie" dress code may have been a little difficult to interpret, but Claire wore the theme perfectly with an original Zac Posen gown that lit up with lights within the dress!

Nothing can top Clair Danes @zacposen original #metgala gown!! #fairytale #futuristic #manusxmachina #metgala2016 #dream #clairedanes #fashion #redcarpet #newyork #celebstyle #queen #celebrity #magical #amazing #beautiful #breathtaking #LOVE

How gorgeous is that dress?! Not only did the actress get a perfect Cinderella look, but it had such a special, unique touch to it when the lights go down. The effect reminded us of not only technology, but The Girl On Fire, Katniss', dress from The Hunger Games. The lights didn't show on the red carpet, but Zac Posen posted plenty of pics and videos on his Instagram account. Check out one of the videos he posted below.  Continue reading →

The bey-hive has been abuzz over the past few days over the surprise drop of Beyonce's brand new visual album "Lemonade." Beyoncé's sixth studio album is strikingly direct and is by far her most personal one yet. You'll find that infidelity is a major theme throughout many of the tracks, and her fans are rising up in support. Just as importantly, the themes of forgiveness and re-commitment can also be found throughout the album, making Bey the queen of statements that she's become.

So, in solidarity with Queen Bey's powerful message, we're sharing a great way to get one of her most powerful red carpet looks: the beautiful Givenchy gown that she wore to the Met Gala back in May 2015.

In support of @Beyonce✊?? Get her queen ? look with @KarishmaCreations style 16061! #beyonce #lemonade #beyhive #queenb #bey #ootd #redcarpet #redcarpetfashion #love #instadaily #picoftheday #potd #fashion #fashionista #style #like #follow #karishma #sheer #jeweled #prom #prom2016 #gown #rissyroos #lifesapartydressup

The gown is absolutely stunning, showing off her beautiful curves, and has us respecting Beyonce for both her mind and body. Get Beyoncé's queen look for prom with Karishma Creations style 16061. This dress is audacious, bold, and even shocking, just like Bey, and we love it for that very reason. This ultra sexy fitted dress is covered in stones at the bustline and the hips, but leaves little to the imagination at the midriff and the skirt. So, you can show off your beautiful figure and feminine side, just like Beyonce, with this dress!  Continue reading →

It's no surprise that Ariana Grande took our award for best dressed at the 2016 MTV Movie Awards - she always looks stunning, from the stage, to starring on Scream Queens, to every red carpet she's ever walked on. But, her look for the 2016 MTV Movie Awards was just stunning. And, it's not only her gorgeous dress that below us away - she performed a stripped down version of "Dangerous Woman," and it was dangerously good!

In the solo performance, Ari showed of her incredible range, leaving the whole audience in awe over her voice, the beautiful silky pink strapless gown she wore, and that pretty white fur stole. The look was extra special, because, as MTV pointed out, Ariana seemed to be channeling Marylin Monroe's bright pink look from Gentlemen Prefer Blondes. Ariana may not have gone 100% Marylin when it came to her hair, but she did trade in her signature high pony tail for a low one.

Of course, one of the reasons that we loved Ariana's 2016 MTV Movie Awards look is because it couldn't be more prom perfect! See three of our favorite pink gowns to take a cue from Ari's look below.  Continue reading →

A couple of days ago, we showed you the totally on-trend pantsuits that some of the celebs wore on the 2016 iHeartRadio Music Awards red carpet. As we mentioned in that post, another major music awards ceremony was held on the same day as the iHeartRadio Music Awards: the Academy of Country Music Awards! Of course, the celebs on the ACM Awards red carpet were just as glammed up. While we loved all of the look, there always seems to be one celeb that stands out on the ACM Awards red carpet. Yup, you guessed it: Carrie Underwood.

Carrie knows how to bring Hollywood glam to any event, and she certainly did so yet again at the 2016 Academy of Country Music Awards.
