Last night, Hailee Steinfeld stepped out at the Met Gala making as much a beauty statement as a sartorial one. The actress nailed the middle part, one of the upcoming fall season’s biggest beauty trends, loosely pulling back the sides for an elegant, head-turning hair ‘do. It’s easy to achieve the look: All you needs is to know exactly what kind of center part your head craves and the right tool to get you there. Check out some runway looks (plus top products!) from the fall 2011 shows after the jump:

Bosworth is going from fashion darling to cotton ambassador. With a little help from her stylist and business partner Cher Coulter, she pulls off designer duds from the likes of Proenza Schouler and Isabel Marant with ease and always has a presence at fashion weeks. She’s one of those starlets who, regardless of whether or not she’s working on any acting projects, will always be on magazine covers and best dressed lists. Lately, it seems, Kate has started to capitalize on that, bringing her fashion plate influence to the masses.
First, with her expanding JewelMint business and now with a new role as the face of Cotton, WWD reports. Bosworth will follow Zooey Deschanel in the upcoming installment of Cotton, Inc.’s “Fabric of My Life” campaign. The 15-30 second commercials will show her working in an “inspiration room,” on a movie set, shopping and “relaxing in cotton,” while her closet remains a key component throughout. It sounds like she won’t have to sacrifice her own designer tastes for the commercial, as she is set to wear Prada, Rodarte and Nina Ricci, among others. (We’d be surprised if a piece or two from JewelMint doesn’t make it in as well.) The casting makes sense. Like Zooey, Kate has a strong sense of style, but is still accessible. However, unlike Zooey, Kate is not a singer, but will still sing that “fabric of my life” song in the commercial and is reportedly anxious to make her singing debut.
Kate Bosworth: Actress, jewelry designer, and now cotton ambassador. Could recording artist be next?

- While orange and other citrus hues may have been spring and summer’s It colors, for fall and winter things are taking a much more somber note. A deep cobalt blue is going to be the shade for fall ’11, reminiscent of Yves Klein blue and post-World War II art. A close cousin to neutral navy, this is one of the most forgiving It colors we’ve seen in a while. We’re imagining pairing Yves Klein blue with other shades of blue for a beautiful monochrome look, or with black and cream for a classic taste, or as a backdrop to pops of red or neon. So wear a little or wear a lot—you’re sure to look fabulous.

I went on a date two weeks ago and recently have been hanging out with the guy in groups. First it was me inviting him out with my friends, then he invites me out with his friends and so forth—thing is, on both nights where a group of us were leaving the venue near my house, he didn’t bother to offer walking me home. He gave me a hug and that was it.
That got me thinking…almost everything went well on our date. We had good conversation, great eye contact, and even a few good laughs, but at the end of the night we split the bill. He didn’t walk me home. He hasn’t asked me out again, and I’m pretty sure he’s still interested. Now I may be old fashioned when it comes to dating but what happened to chivalry? I understand that women have developed hard-earned equality and independence, anywhere from relationships to the workplace, in addition to paying for themselves, opening their own doors, etc. We are definitely stronger, more passionate, and more independent these days, but that doesn’t mean that we don’t like being spoiled. Does it?

Listen up girls, we have a song that’s sure to become an instant favorite: it’s called “Good Girls,” the reggae ode to good girls everywhere by Cris Cab. His blues and reggae sound is a breath of fresh air in the music industry, and while you’ve probably heard his covers, his own music is even better. We had a chance to chat with the sweet and charming artist about where he got that addictive sound, first instruments, and why an artist has to produce a few covers to get a career off the ground.

Never one to shy away from a fashion risk, Sarah Jessica Parker showed how to make cocktail attire modern Williamsburg-style at the Brooklyn Artists Ball last night. Wearing a Lanvin sleeveless army green ruched dress under an embellished Chanel tweed coat, the Sex and the City star channeled Carrie’s carefree aesthetic (not to mention her serious shoe fetish). Jeweled pumps and a studded bucket bag topped off the unexpectedly edgy look, and brought uptown and downtown together seamlessly. Check out how to get her look below:

Sharpay had the right idea when she fell for the guy behind the camera lens. Nineteen-year-old Austin Butler co-stars with Ashley Tisdale in HSM’s spin-off as student filmmaker Peyton Leverette, but in real life, the star of Sharpay’s Fabulous Adventure (now out on DVD!) is just as crush-worthy. We caught up with the cutie who dished on Ashley’s diva tendencies, why Ryan Gosling deserves an Academy Award, and what he’s doing on his next first date. Check it out!

The trend comes and goes, but the question remains: would you go to prom sporting neon-painted lips? The look isn’t for the faint of heart, and once you commit, there’s no going back (technically, a quick duck into the ladies room and a wad of toilet paper will do the trick, but who wants to show up wearing hot purple lipstick one minute and a nude lip the next?). For those of you who are up for a beauty risk on the big night, here are some tips to master the look:

After the mini Chanel-inspired tattoo craze last year, it’s not too surprising to see another mini trend arriving of tiny temporary facial tattoos. Interestingly enough, this trend has roots dating back to the mid 1500′s in Europe where nobles would often wear tiny patches in shapes such as crescents or dots to cover up zits or blemishes.

However, these ones that Shenae Grimes and Leona Lewis are sporting are merely for decoration and could easily be drawn on with some liquid eyeliner or made with a temporary tattoo. What do you think? Would you wear a temporary face tattoo?

While some might find it counter-intuitive that the line responsible for the adventof the bumster pant also created Kate Middleton’s dizzingly elegant wedding dress, the pairing makes perfect sense coming from Alexander McQueen, a house celebrated for its stunning sartorial contradictions. Standing next to her freshly wedded husband Prince William (who, in perfectly tailored scarlet regalia, also looked like a figure from the McQueen imagination) Kate carried the ethereal V-neck, long-sleeve gown. Honoring the impeccable standard of craftsmanship that McQueen himself set since the his days cutting suits for Prince Charles and others on Savile Row, the floral lace appliqué for the bodice and skirt were handmade by the Royal School of Needlework, using a nineteenth-century Irish technique called Carrickmacross. The delicate fabrics, ivory and white satin gazar and blended hand-cut Chantilly and English lace, reflected the unique romance of the occasion. Yet the look didn’t lack Alexander McQueen’s telltale drama, now carried on by Sarah Burton. Signatures, such as Victorian-style corsetry, padded hips and a modern skirt with soaring pleats and arches, ensured that Kate’s beauty was anything but quiet on her day.
After months of silence, Burton reflected in an official statement, “Alexander McQueen’s designs are all about bringing contrasts together to create startling and beautiful clothes and I hope that by marrying traditional fabrics and lacework, with a modern structure and design we have created a beautiful dress for Catherine on her wedding day. The last few months have been very exciting and an incredible experience for my team and I as we have worked closely with Catherine to create this dress under conditions of the strictest secrecy.”
Some, such as Elie Saab and Hubert de Givenchy, found the effect to be a touch too simple. While the gown was subdued for the notoriously high-stakes line, it suited Kate perfectly. In it, she was never overshadowed, but confident, strong and engaging — which is exactly what Alexander McQueen designs are all about.
