Celeb Trend to Try: Irina Shayk’s Cut-Outs

Russian supermodel Irina Shayk showed some serious skin at the “All is Lost” premiere in Cannes yesterday in a plunging Roberto Cavalli cutout dress with a sheer paneled skirt. Cutouts were a huge trend this spring, and while they can be a subtly sexy way of revealing just the right amount of bare skin, they can also make you look like you should be working The Boulevard with Julia Roberts in Pretty Woman. To keep from looking cheap, stick with subtle (re: small) cut outs in one of three places: the shoulders, the arms, or the back. I don’t recommend cutouts in the breast, stomach, or hip/thigh area unless you’re getting all dolled up for a conjugal visit or a guest spot on Springer.

Celeb Trend to Try: Jessica Biel’s Serpentine Necklace

Jessica Biel’s feather-underskirted tea-length Marchesa dress is stunning on its own, but the piece de resistance of her red carpet look is her Bvlgari emerald and diamond serpentine necklace. Snakes are both terrifying and beautiful, like the old Angelina Jolie in her Billy Bob days, but wearing a live python around your neck is just too Dusk-Til-Dawn for real life. Not to mention snakes pee whenever they feel like it, and good luck getting a seat at the bar with an angry snake on your shoulders and stinking of snake pee. Do a serpent in metal and precious stones instead, and now you’re sexy and edgy while still being tasteful, like Angelina Jolie now.

Billboard Music Awards Worst Dressed

The Billboard Music Awards were last night, and I don’t know because I’ve already stopped caring. Suffice it to say, the fashion certainly reflected the general milieu of the evening, “crap.” Leading the charge was Madonna, in a unfortunate combination of netting and no shame. Not since the days of The Heart Break Kid Sean Michaels have I seen such blatant display of crotch-centricity. Fail.

Celeb Look to Steal: Nicole Kidman’s Cap-Toe Pumps in Cannes

Apologies for the lack of updates the last few days — after a brief misunderstanding with the Miami-Dade Sheriff’s Office and the Ascena Retail Group, Inc., I have been released on my own recognizance with the understanding that I am not allowed within 500 feet of a Dress Barn. Apparently yelling at store patrons with a megaphone and burning Daisy Dollars constitutes harassment, even if it comes from a place of love. You can’t save everyone, I guess.

But I can still yell at you with the metaphorical megaphone of the internet, and today’s celeb look to steal is the cap-toe pointy-toe pump. If you don’t have one, get one (actually, you’ll probably need two, unless you have a peg leg). It’s classic, and an easy way to add color and texture to a neutral outfit. Plus the ones with metal cap-toes can really do a number on a kidney if you’re ever being wrongfully detained for trying to save women from the horror of polyester blends.

Some to try:

  • These patent leather Steven Fearless pumps are accented with a polished metallic toe cap. ($149)
  • Sergio Rossi’s cap toe pumps have a soft metallic sheen and rich colorblock patent leather. ($512)
  • Manolo Blahnik’s Irie Cap-Toe Quilted Pump ($695) features a strongly pointed toe to counterbalance soft quilted napa leather.
  • Sergio Rossi’s green and pink color block stiletto pumps have a pointed toe cap with woven detailing, contrasting black geometric print, a patent red panel and a leather stiletto heel. ($693)
