Celebrity Inspired Dresses

Halloween may be over, but there's so many costumes that we're still obsessing over! The costume that former Miss USA Rachel Smith wore on Good Morning America's Halloween special is definitely one that we cannot forget. Why? Because she wore a Faviana dress!

 The Miss USA 2007 beauty queen wore Faviana style S7150 to dress as Giuliana Rancic, the E! News co-anchor, for the GMA Halloween Special. Giuliana is known for her on-point fashion sense, and the chiffon gown that Rachel wore definitely had her sparkling just like the journalist! Of course, with Rachel's own past as a beauty queen and as a co-host on the show OnTheRedCarpet, could we have really expected her to wear anything else on Halloween??

If you want to see what everyone else wore on the 2013 Good Morning America Halloween special, just click here. There were so many fun and creative costumes!

Have you been watching The Walking Dead endlessly in October to get amped up for Halloween? We have! Well, we have another place to get your The Walking Dead fix: in the October 2013 issue of Glamoholic Magazine. Why? Because actress Emily Kinney, who plays Beth Greene on The Walking Dead, was featured in the magazine wearing none other than two of our favorite designers: Tony Bowls and Sherri Hill!

 In the above photo, she's seen wearing Tony Bowls Shorts style TS11367, a sleeveless slim sequin mesh short dress with large novelty stones, a "V" front and back neckline, and nude color side panels. It's a stunning cocktail dress that's perfect for Homecoming, Prom, or the Holidays.

In this photo, Emily is wearing Sherri Hill style 21217, a cute and fun cocktail dress with a high neckline, sexy open back, sequin bodice, and gorgeous lace. We especially love the flowy ruffled skirt - perfect to twist your hips at Prom or Homecoming!

In the article, they talk about everything from The Walking Dead, to music, style, and boys. It's definitely a great read! One quote that we're loving:

"If acting is my passion, then song-writing is sort of a steady best friend."

We know her character, Beth, sings in The Walking Dead, but we never knew that it was a hobby of hers!

The Walking Dead, Tony Bowls, Sherri Hill...it doesn't end there: you can read the full article on Glamoholic's website! Plus, with Avril Lavigne as the October Cover Girl, could you really go wrong?? Have fun reading!

Homecoming Season is here! To ensure your special night goes perfectly, Twist Magazine recently chatted with Laura Marano, star of shows Without a Trace, Back to You, and Austin and Ally. Why did Twist catch up with Laura for a little Homecoming advice? Because she definitely knows a thing or two about getting dressed up for formal events!

Here's the tips she revealed to the magazine to make sure your night is perfect:

1. Be confident: "I think the most important tip is to wear what you feel comfortable in. If it's not 'in' — like the current trend or style — but you still love it, you should 100 percent wear it. I think if you love a dress and you feel comfortable in it, then that's the dress for you."

2. Consider your dress' length: "I think homecoming and winter formal dances [call for] shorter dresses. Prom is a big long dress scenario," the Austin & Ally star explains. "At the same time, if you're like me and love to dance at parties, you want to make sure the length is appropriate. There's nothing like having a super-short dress and being uncomfortable all night in it — that's actually the worst thing ever. So even though homecoming dresses are fun and short, make sure you feel comfortable with the length."

3. Have fun dressing up: "My school has a certain homecoming theme, and I think you can always have fun with a theme," Laura says. "For freshman year we had H2-Homecoming — it was a water theme. I wore a Betsy Johnson dress that reminded me of a mermaid. I thought it was awesome because it kind of went with the theme."

We especially love the dress she's wearing in the above picture, because it's a perfect look and length for Homecoming, just as she recommends. For a similar dress for your Homecoming dance, try Tony Bowls TS21312. It's a chiffon short a-line cocktail dress with illusion cap sleeves and bateau neckline.

Why else are we loving Laura's look and advice? Because she's a Trick-or-Treat for UNICEF ambassador! What a great cause to support, and with Homecoming and Halloween season here, we're supporting her all the way!

It's Fall, The Vampire Diaries Season Premiere was last night, and The Originals' had their show premiere earlier this week! We are most definitely back into the Nina Dobrev, Ian Somerhalder, and Paul Wesley spirit!

One thing that we're always loving is Nina's style. Not only does she wear some killer styles on The Vampire Diaries, but she never disappoints off-screen, either. Seventeen Magazine posted a picture of Nina all ready for the Fall months, wearing a leather jacket and purple ombre jeans that we're totally crushing over. She looked so chic, and we just can't get over the ombre look!

We love the ombre trend! It's a look you can pull off year-round, and wear from your day-to-day style to your next formal event. Want to bring Nina's style to Homecoming or Prom? Check out our favorite purple ombre looks below, and click here to shop all ombre dresses.

For a cute short purple ombre look for Homecoming, we love Dave & Johnny style 8725. The dress has spaghetti straps and an exaggerated sweetheart neckline. The jewels and elegant beadwork all throughout the bodice gives the dress such an opulent look.

For a deep to light purple bold look like Nina's jeans, it's all about La Femme style 17004! It's a gorgeous ombre chiffon gown with criss-cross designs across the sweetheart neckline. This simple and elegant dress lets the ombre speak for itself, the same way that Nina let her pants speak for themselves by pairing them with a plain black shirt and jacket.

For a fun and sparkly look, we're obsessed with Jovani style 6432. It's a strapless ball gown with a mirrored sequin bodice and ombre skirt. It's a perfect way to really have a stand-out look!

The 2013 Academy of Television Arts & Sciences Emmys were last night, Sunday September 22nd, and they were full with so many talented actors and actresses! We were glued to the TV watching all of the awards being announced, but of course, first and foremost is the red carpet for us Roo Girls!

There were so many stunning gowns on this year's red carpet that our verdict is still out on which were our favorites. But, there was one trend that we noticed the celebrities wearing that we're already obsessing over: elegant gowns in electric blue and royal purple! So many of the ladies wore solid colored gowns in one of these bold colors. With the first day of Fall having landed yesterday, everyone must be getting in the mood for darker Fall and Winter colors! Check out who some of our favorite celebrities were that rocked these two hues, and how you can steal the look for Homecoming or Prom!

Bright Blue

Actress and comedian Allison Williams wore a bold, bright blue gown that was just so elegant. The simplicity of the gown let the color speak for itself. We especially loved how the Continue reading →

New York Fashion Week 2013 may have come to a close, but we're still oogling over all the lovely looks! We talked about Sherri Hill's runway show last week...but we're still not over all the beautiful new dresses they debuted, especially Duck Dynasty star Sadie Robertson's new line with the designer, "Sadie Robertson Live Original." So, we wanted to recap some of the pretty dresses she wore on the runway. The dresses aren't out yet, but take a sneak peek below at some of the new Sherri Hill dresses to come for Spring 2014. And, they are all of course ,"daddy approved," so they're definitely formal appropriate (hint, hint...a little prom inspiration!)!

Above, Sadie Robertson is on the stage with the dress designer herself, Sherri Hill! She's wearing a gorgeously elegant polka dot gown that will be available for Prom 2014. The look may be, "daddy approved," but will still definitely be turning a lot of heads!

 

As a "sneak peek" to what was to come on the runway, Sadie wore a different polka dot look on the red carpet. This first polka dot dress she wore was a short cocktail dress - so perfect for a fun and flirty look for a formal event!

Another Sherri Hill look that she rocked so perfectly on the runway was the above champagne colored cocktail dress. The lace detailing at the bottom of the dress and rhinestone encrusted sweetheart neckline add the perfect extra touches to make it such a unique look!

Before the show in an interview with E!, Sadie admitted that she was, "a little nervous, but more excited than anything." She definitely didn't show her nerves on the runway - she walked it like a seasoned model! These dresses will be coming to www.RissyRoos.com for Spring 2014, and we'll definitely keep you updated once they arrive. Stay tuned!

 

Dress designer Sherri Hill is always teaming up with celebrities to either create custom lines of dresses or to show off their dresses on the runway, and we're always on the look-out for the designer's next endeavor. Well, with Homecoming 2013 here and Prom 2014 just around the corner, Sherri Hill is hard at work teaming up with her next celebrity. This time, it's Sadie Robertson from A&E reality TV show Duck Dynasty!

Sherri Hill teamed up with Sadie Robertson to create an original collection of prom dresses for Spring 2014. The "Sadie Robertson Live Original" collection by Sherri Hill is retro inspired, has "Willie approved" dress lengths, and definitely has something for every prom girl.

When coming up with the collaboration, Sherri Hill explained that inspiration came from seeing girls all around the country emphasizing with Sadie while watching her try to find a dress in the Duck Dynasty "Homecoming Episode" last year. Sherri Hill said, "This year, Sadie won't have any problem finding a prom dress that she loves and that makes her dad happy."

Following in the footsteps of Kylie and Kendall Jenner, Sadie will walk the runway in Sherri Hill's New York Fashion Week show on September 9th. She'll also be featured in the Spring 2014 lookbook!

Sherri Hill is one of the go-to designers for young Hollywood celebrities red carpet moments and performances, including Selena Gomez, Carrie Underwood, Miranda Lambert, and Bella Thorne. So, it's definitely no surprise that Sherri Hill is teaming up with Sadie this year!

The "Sadie Robertson Original" collection will be available in Spring 2014, so keep a look-out! We'll definitely make sure to update you as the dresses come in for Prom Season!
