After just two seasons, Giles Deacon is out at Ungaro. The industry breathed a sigh of relief when the beloved British designer took over after a tumultuous few seasons in which Ungaro hired Esteban Cortazar (who critics thought was doing a pretty good job) and then ousted him to bring on Lindsay Lohan and Estrella Archs. The latter duo was, to put it mildly, not so well received. It looked like the brand was beyond repair until they finally sat up and hired a real designer. But Giles’ first collection, for spring 2011, didn’t earn great reviews either. Critics accused him of trying too hard and losing sight of the balance between the storied French brand and his own, funkier aesthetic. Ungaro’s fall collection may have earned better reviews, but the critics still save their biggest compliments for Giles’ eponymous line. There is also, of course, the question of who’s buying the clothes—it’s not even spotted on the most adventurous street style stars. An official statement says Giles and the house “mutually decided” to end their relationship, and that the spring collection presented in Paris next month will be designed by the in house team. But it’ll need more than that to get back on track.

So Ashley Olsen wasn’t the most surprising celebrity at Oscar de la Renta‘s spring show—that honor would go to Justin Timberlake or Nicki Minaj, neither of whom we can imagine rocking one of Oscar’s embroidered lace ballgowns—but as far as lady starlets go, Olsen wasn’t the most expected. As the designer sent out one gorgeous, frothy creation after another—embroidered silk, beaded jackets, feathered columns—we tried to imagine the petite Olsen peeking out from any one of the looks, until the off-the-shoulder pink dress emerged. The only other time we’d seen those sleeves this decade (outside of period films) was when Olsen rocked the hard-to-wear look on the Met Ball’s red carpet in May. So now we know, Oscar gets his inspiration where every other woman does: from the Olsens.

- How do we get our eyes to really pop? Celebs always seem to have perfect and beautiful eyes... But trust us they are not born with that extra sparkle!
Think of it this way, for every type of outfit you have certain accessories that you wear (bag, shoes, etc) which enhances the beauty of that piece of clothing! Well, your face is similar! To enhance the beauty of your eyes you should choose an eyeshadow that complements them and brings out their lovely color!
Celebs like Hayden Panettiere or Scarlett Johansson have green eyes, so they choose shadows and eyeliners that go with or enhance the green in their eyes! Click on the pictures to get our tips on how to get your green eyes to shine!

“She just wants excitement,” was how designer Nanette Lepore described the woman she imagined wearing her spring collection. One look at the pieces she showed on the runway on Wednesday and it’s clear what she meant: This collection injected jolts of color—electric yellow, neon pink, DayGlo orange—into Lepore’s trademark feminine designs. Stripped and floral patterns were so color-saturated that she actually had to approach them differently. “This season with the prints, it was like they weren’t saturated enough,” Lepore said backstage before her show. She added, “So finally we did this painting technique, this pigment, so they get this deep, deep color.” But while there were plenty of Betty Draper-on-acid pieces on display (among them, a creamsicle hued nipped-waist jacket and a full-skirted tank dress in bright lemon), it wasn’t all frills; Lepore cited the Venice Biennale at the American Pavilion as inspiration, with its “Olympic athletes performing on these crazy sculptures—that was exciting.” The body-hugging uniforms worn there were echoed in Lepore’s scuba-style cropped tops and dresses, accented with white piping and graphic, circular zipper pull detailing that you’re more likely to see on the beach than on the streets of New York’s Upper East Side. Perhaps part of this shift away from the pleats and bows that so often occupy her collections (and to be clear, there were still plenty in this one) has to do with where she sees the label going: “We’ve had bags and shoes for about a year—I really want to see them explode—[and] swim is doing really, really well. And I want to move into menswear eventually.” It may seem like an odd fit, but Lepore is just trying to reconnect with her design roots; as she explained, “[Menswear] is something we started off doing years ago, so I would love to get back to that because it was really fun.”

- We spotted both Katie Holmes and Lucy Liu in this Azzedine Alaia dress and both ladies rocked it in a similar style. While we were underwhelmed by both choices, we still wonder: who wore it best?
Katie wore the dress with tan Proenza Schouler booties, messy curls, and a few black leather bracelets. We weren't huge fans of her booties and we think she made the dress look really budget...but that's just us!
Lucy was the first to wear the dress and she paired it was a red clutch, gold bracelet, and nude peep-toe heels. We like that she added the pop of red!

Bathrobes are turning out to be a sleeper hit for spring. Lines as diverse as Suno and Costello Tagliapietra have sent them down the runway without any bells and/or whistles and yet they look perfectly primed for a night out. The Row had the honor of being first. The Olsens offered a luxurious take on their short-lived college style, when they were often spotted in the post-shower staple. Theirs is the most pajama-like of all three thanks to a legitimate pair of PJ’s in the same patterned silk underneath. Mary-Kate may be the only person who could pull off this look, but over jeans, the robe could work on a non-Olsen. Max Osterweis and Erin Beatty of Suno sent out a Chinoiserie robe with a simple sash belt and heels—like a relaxed wrap dress like Costello Tagliapietra’s. Although fashioned of a dressed-up silk jersey the dress still screams robe. Is this a trend you’ll try?

Almost exactly one year ago, Jessica Szohr and Leigh Lezark sat side-by-side at the Herve Leger by Max Azria spring ’11 show. With their face-framing raven hair, they almost looked like twins. At today’s spring ’12 show they weren’t neighbors, but both showed up rocking bangs. Lezark’s fringe, which she debuted this summer, takes the edge off of her normally severe look. Szohr, meanwhile, looked nearly unrecognizable with her new bob (if it weren’t for her electric blue bandage dress, she might have slipped under the radar). You could call the look, with its sweeping, jagged bangs, a break-up cut; after all, it was only recently confirmed that she and Gossip Girl had split. Her front row neighbor, Ashlee Simpson, could commiserate: She’s been rocking an Edie Sedgwick-style white-blonde pixie ‘do for about as long as she’s been separated from Pete Wentz. And what better way to get over a break-up than daydreaming about all the fun you’d have in a really sexy Herve Leger dress. “I loved the beading,” said Simpson of the macramé and woven second-skin ensembles shown on the runway, adding, “I thought it was beautiful.” But would the shoes, which wrapped up the knee, like a gladiator sandal, be comfortable enough to wear out? According to Simpson, “they actually did!”
