Celebrity Inspired Dresses

The 2013 Video Music Awards are here, and the red carpet was full of so much funky fashion on Sunday, August 25th! VMA fashion is definitely known for its outrageous moments, and this year was no different. From Brittney Spears' bear-all lace look in 2001 to Lady Gaga's meat ensemble in 2010, the outfits that have graced the VMA red carpet have always been questionable in taste, but very legendary when it comes to impact!

To us Roo Girls, it's all about finding that balance between taste and impact, and there were a few lady celebs who towed that line so well this year. Celebrities like Katy Perry and Ciara made a bold fashion statement, while stile rocking an elegant look. Check out what they wore below and how you can get their look for Homecoming or Prom.

Katy Perry rocked animal print in such a unique and stylish way at the 2013 VMAs. The knee-length skirt and long sleeves added class, while the form-fitting style and high slit showed off her curves so well. We also loved the little pieces of fur on the dress - it gave it just the right amount of VMAs flare!

Want Katy Perry's animal print look for Homecoming? We love Night Moves style 6650, a strapless animal print cocktail dress. We love this dress because it channels the funkiness of Katy's look with the bead and crystal accents that are all over the dress.

For a longer look that's so perfect for Prom, check out Jovani style 6437. It's a strapless animal print evening gown that features a side cut-out for some extra glam and a high front slit.

Ciara looked stunning in her so revealing, but so elegant ivory lace gown! From head to toe, it accented her features so well and complimented her skin tone perfectly.

For a sheer, lace, and ruffled skirt look like Ciara, we're loving Jovani style 4863. This exquisite hi-lo white evening gown is perfect for a classy prom look.

Want Ciara's look in a short style for Homecoming? Jovani style 171924 is so perfect! This dress has a sheer illusion lace bodice with a feather skirt.

With the 2013 Teen Choice Awards less than a week ago, we're still obsessing over all the beautiful looks! So, it's no surprise that this weeks' Dress of the Week is one that the celebrities wore on the Blue Carpet. Actress Ryan Newman is know for her style - she wore Sherri Hill 21101 to the 2013 Kids' Choice Awards, and this year's Teen Choice Awards was no different! So, we were so amazed to see her wearing Sherri Hill again, and we immediately fell in love with her look!

The actress wore Sherri Hill 21001 to the Teen Choice Awards. It's a fun and flirty look with colorful rhinestones all over the bodice and a fluffy tulle skirt! It's the perfect short dress for any occasion with its full skirt and beaded bodice. Continue reading →

Sunday Funday! Did you catch the 2013 Teen Choice Awards on August 11th? We did! And, we fell in love with all the gorgeous styles the lady celebs were wearing on the not red, but BLUE carpet! It's all about winning surfboards at the Teen Choice Awards, so many of the celebrities opted to wear super fun outfits, from colorful frocks to funky pant suits. Check out our favorite looks below and how you can steal their looks for Homecoming and Prom! Continue reading →

The September issue of Cosmopolitan Magazine is out, and the Cover Girl is one of our favorite TV stars: Nina Dobrev! She's on the cover wearing a super cute herringbone mini dress and high heels that we simply couldn't get over.

Not only was Cosmo's fashion shoot with Nina amazing, but the interview was, too! Cosmo asked the actress about everything from what she's currently working on, to her career life, to being in relationships. And, with her recent break-up with Ian Somerhalder, it was definitely great to learn a little more about The Vampire Diaries star. One of the questions Cosmo asked Nina was what she's been working on at the moment, and she replied that she'd love to open her own yoga studio. Nina said:

"You know that feeling when you use a different muscle? You're excited to be exercising it but you get a little sore! Yoga changed my life. Hopefully, it will do that for others."

Yoga's definitely a great way to work out and relax your body and mind at the same time...and, of course, make sure you're looking as good as ever in your Homecoming and Prom outfits! So, we were so excited to hear how much Nina loves yoga!

 

As far as relationships go, Nina definitely had a lot to say! When it comes to what she looks for in a guy, she explained that it's all about a guys mind, humor, and talent. When it comes to her type of guy, she also explained:

"I'm progressive in some ways, old-fashioned in others. I like it when guys hold the door open and are sweet and thoughtful. The guys on our show are really good at that. A man in a suit looking put together and dapper is very attractive, but I also kind of like the I-just-rolled-out-of-bed, a-little-bit-of-scruff, effortless, not-trying-hard-but-still-sexy guy. If a guy spends more time looking in the mirror than I do, that's problem!"

We definitely couldn't agree more!

Did you catch the 2013 BET Awards in June? If not, we've got the most important scoop from the event right here: Gabby Douglas receiving the YoungStars Award!

Gabrielle Douglas, USA Olympic gymnast, took the BET Awards by storm this year. She walked away with the YoungStars award for her amazing accomplishments! BET wrote:

"Who knew so much power could come in a 4’11” package? The 16-year-old gymnast made the country proud when she became the first Black woman to bring home All-Around Olympic gold. Earlier this year, she published her first memoir, Grace, Gold and Glory: My Leap of Faith...Gabby Douglas has become a role model and inspiration for young people everywhere."

That's not all, though! Not only did she have some amazing accomplishments to show off, but she looked incredible, too. She walked the BET Red Carpet in Sherri Hill style 21016 in Black/Nude.

The gymnast looked so gorgeous in this two-toned Sherri Hill lace dress! The dramatic high-low skirt and floor-sweeping train showed off her bod so well, and we were especially amazed by how ripped her arms looked!

Her sleek bob and red lips were the perfect finishing touches to her look - so elegant and timeless, and definitely gold medal worthy.

Avril Lavigne recently came out with a new single called "Here's to Never Growing Up," and we're loving not only the song, but the video, too! The song's all about having fun, and the video is set at a senior prom, so we automatically fell in love!

Check out the video below:

When it comes to prom, of course Avril still doesn't lose her punk rock look. We love the short light blue dress she wore in the video - it matched her eyes so perfectly!

For a similar look to Avirl's short prom dress look, we love Sherri Hill style 21156. It's one of Sherri Hill's newest styles that's not only perfect for prom, but homecoming, too! The grey accenting, paired with lace and jewel detailing is so punk that it couldn't be any more Avril Lavigne inspired! It also comes in dark red and navy colors that are super punk, too.

We are especially oogling over Avril's new single and video, though, because it looks like she's taking a step back to her roots! The music video reminded us of when she first came onto the scene 11 years ago as the punk rock princess that everyone came to love her for. The video was full of people spraying graffiti, a group crashing a pool in their prom outfits, and wrecking the school with chairs flying, confetti everywhere, and of course Avril on her skateboard.

Welcome back, Avril! We can't wait to hear more songs from your new album!

Pretty Little Liars is back, and with a vengeance, for its Season 4 Premiere! The episode, which aired on June 11, was called "A is for A-l-i-v-e," and it definitely got our hearts racing, as usual. Marlene King, executive producer, promised that this would be the "season of answers," and she definitely wasn't kidding around! The premiere episode already cleared up almost every "A" related question that's still been lingering around, while still adding a dozen more to the list!

We don't want to ruin the episode for those fans who haven't watched it yet, so we'll leave it at that, and instead focus on what else, but the fashion! Black's always been a big Pretty Little Liars color, but we especially loved it in this episode! All of the girls were wearing cute little black dresses (except for Hanna Marin, played by Ashley Benson, who added a totally chic sheer long skirt to her look), with sexy high heels to match. We loved the dresses so much that we picked out our favorite black cocktail dresses. Now you can rock these PLL style to your next event! And, since little black dresses never go out of style, don't be afraid to stock up on these looks! Continue reading →

The 66th Annual Cannes Film Festival was held at the end of May, and there were so many stunning looks all throughout the festival! One of our favorite looks was worn by DJ and model Joy Vieli. She wore one of our favorite designers, Mac Duggal, at several events at the festival, so we were of course very amazed by her outfit choices! Some of the events Joy attended included director Sofia Coppola's exclusive yacht party, as well as an after party at VIP ROOM Famous Club. She was definitely both dressed up in style AND partying in style!

Our favorite look that she wore during the festival was Mac Duggal style 78703R, which is the gown she's wearing in the above picture. It's such an elegant gown, but we loved how she gave it her own edgy touch with hairstyle and bold lipstick (and of course, her fierce model stance!). Mac Duggal 78703R has sensational beaded floral designs that fill the center front of this spectacular floor length evening gown, giving it such a unique look. All eyes were definitely on Joy in this gown with a thigh high slit and sheer one shoulder design!

 It's a great dress for prom or any other formal event. Black goes with anything and everything, after all!
