Ashley Madekwe’s Revenge Style: Her Red Gucci Coat

Apr 26, 2012 @ 4:30 pm

An all-new episode of Revenge aired last night, and we caught up Ashley Madekwe to get the inside scoop on her outfit. “We had the misfortune of trying to shoot winter scenes during spring in L.A. when there were very few coats left in stores, but we managed to snag this gorgeous Gucci number,” she told InStyle.com. And what was underneath? “I’m wearing a grey wool Theory dress and the Burberry ankle boots that have been with me since the pilot. We felt the outfit was looking a little conservative so we added some sass with a pair of plaid Rag & Bone gloves.” Nice touch! Shop the patch pocket coat—which retails for $2,400—on gucci.com, and see more of Ashley’s Revenge style in the gallery.

Bridal Trend to Try: Jeweled Headbands

Apr 23, 2012 @ 3:45 pm

You don’t have to be the Duchess of Cambridge to wear a bejeweled hair accessory for your big day. At Bridal Fashion Week, Carolina Herrera, Reem Acra, and Oscar de la Renta all featured jeweled headbands on their runways—the perfect finishing touch for an updo that adds a touch of sparkle. Even if you choose to wear your strands down, the embellished band creates a dressed-up appearance, allowing you to spend less time worrying about your hair, and more time nailing your walk down the aisle.
