Great Outfits: Chloe Sevigny

Chloe collaborated with Opening Ceremony for a shoe line, and she wear these multi buckle wedge booties.
I love Chloe in this sparkly punchy little number, but I hate her shoes.

I like this look, but I'm not wowed. I love the sexy draping.

this is how you do a short style on the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala.

This short sassy Proenza Schouler dress shows off her personality.

Her full skirted embroidered lace teal has a high neckline and long sleeves. I just love that purple hemline.

Proenza Schouler shoes and clutch complete this fabulous look.


Chloe wore a Valentino Fall 2010 beaded tiered dress with long sleeves.

I’m glad she wore this dress without the runway jacket, because for some reason I assumed this was a sleeveless dress.

Chloe’s look was typically paired with ankle boots. Her nude pair were from the Valentino Spring 2010 Couture collection. Red lips and a taupe satin clutch completed the look.

I love the runway look with the gorgeous ruffled leather bolero better.

Chloe wears a Versus safety-pin dress from the Spring 2010 collection designed by Christopher Kane.

The LBD is accented with coloured safety pins on the shoulders and the skirt.

I loved seeing the return of the iconic safety pins. It’s a brilliant nod to the infamous safety pin dress worn by Liz Hurley.

Like the runway, Chloe also carried the Versus shoulder bag which is also covered with multi-coloured safety pins.Is anyone else wishing she’d gone full on matchy matchy and paired her dress and bag with the Versus safety pin sandals?

I’m very indifferent when it comes to Chloe Sevigny.

I know many of you love her style, but my affections changed look by look.

This is the very definition of downtown urban-chic.

We often see her wearing Proenza Schouler and that’s because it’s a match made in fashion heaven.

The actress wore the blue and green mini top and skirt from Proenza Schouler’s Fall 2010 collection.

I hate her black ankle socks and peep-toe shoes. I will never like them.

The look, however, remains effortless. She threw this on.

I much prefer Chloe’s modified look with the print all over.

Chloe Sevigny would’ve been the most worried about getting her rose Valentino sleeveless gown wet as it would’ve deflated those beautiful ruffles.

But she was lucky to have a someone to help shield her dress from the rain.

Buccellati jewels complete the look. This is my favorite Chloe Sevigny look EVER.

I love this black Christian Lacroix Fall 2009 Couture embellished dress covered with a tulle overlay. It is so dramatic.

I’m all about the glamor on the red carpet as you know, but I can fully appreciate Chloe Sevigny’s bed hair and “I just threw this on” style.

With touch of pink to her lips and thick black tights the blonde actress wore a Proenza Schouler Pre-Fall 2010 dress with embroidered details which gave it plenty of texture.

I just love the neckline on this dress which she paired with Proenza Schouler wedged booties, a wrap belt, and a Proenza Schouler croc PS1 clutch. However part of me wishes her ditched the tights and wore the runway shoes.

I love her in this Christian Dior Spring 2010 chiffon print dress with flutter sleeves.

Sometimes I think Chloe tries a little too hard to be cool all the time, so I love is that she doesn’t over accessorize the look nor wear a leather jacket with it.


I’m not one who get carried away with her “style icon” tag, I just judge her look by look and this Isaac Mizrahi Resort 2010 one-shoulder polka dot gown I love.

I also love the fact that it’s not an obvious choice.


I’ve never been one to go gaga over Chloe Sevigny, but I absolutely LOVE her in this Miu Miu Spring 2010 look.

It’s something only the likes of Chloe and Zooey Deschanel could pull off without looking like a grown woman dressing childishly.

Her crystal accented turtle neck top and piquet dog print skirt is so playful and dainty, plus I love her neutral accessories which complement her dress well.

Chloe Sevigny just can’t get enough of ChloĆ©’s Spring 2009 scalloped shorts.

She owns them in many shades including camel, cream and now olive green.

Her shorts were teamed with a pink chiffon blouse and her favorite ChloƩ wedges which she often pairs with her shorts. Chloe shows just how versatile scalloped shorts can be.


I am in love with this look, even to though to the less fashion forward, it looks ridiculous. I love her Mary Poppins straw hat, her lipstick which adds attitude and her lighter colored version of the runway suit. She completes her look with multi-strapped suede wedges.


Chloe added her own touch with cut off short denim shorts, loose hair and ankle boots. I wish she wore the runway version!

Chloe wears a head-to-toe Chloe Spring 2009 collection look of a navy pant suit under a white blazer with scalloped edged lapels.

The actress wore a seafoam-green tunic, a sparkling choker, crocodile clutch and strappy sandals, all from Balenciaga.

Chloe Sevigny’s laid back style is in full effect here. I do like her khaki very mini vintage Alaia dress, but I am less enthused with her Wrangler denim jacket.

Her animal print Ralph Lauren ankle-wrap heels, are the perfect finishing touch.

I am in love with this look head to toe! Her look consisted of a sheer berry blouse with a gold trim on the high neckline. Her orange mini skirt was embellished with a silver and berry sequins to compliment the blouse. Her animal print chunky bangles are also from the collection.


Chloe usually doesn't go for Narciso Rodriguez, so her wearing this sweet lavender dress from his Spring 2008 collection was a pleasant surprise.

I remember that this is one of the first pictures I ever saw of Chloe Sevigny. I still don't think her resume matches her fame, but I can appreciate a fashionista here and there. I like this juicy Prada dress and just everything head-to-toe.

I love this look only because it is Chloe expressing her personal style. I also like her cheeky top.

This Balenciaga dress is just ok. I know Chloe wanted a simple look, and wanted the luster of the green silk to speak for itself, but I expect something unpredictable from Chloe and this doesn't cut it.

I love this bubblegum pink fun dress! Chloe likes to have fun with fashion, and this color choice sure made her stand out. It may be too bold or girlish for some, but it works for me. I even like her necklace choice, but find her shoe choice bland.
I love her balloon sleeved white blouse with black shorts and a scorpion gold belt by Azzedine Alaia. This look is fun and fresh and classic all at once (2007).

Chloe in 2007 pairing a girlish striped dress with a motorcycle jacket and lace up boots for a girl-meets-badass guy look.

This is something a moxie fashionista would wear- a sheer Chloe dress (from the Fall 2007 collection) with stunning embroidery for a night out.

Chloe looks like she stepped out of 1987 in this 80's moon print dress.

Chloe is known for her kooky boyish style, as shown here in 2007.

I am in love with Chloe's dress. I beading on the bodice and puffed hem is beautiful and sexy. But where's a pop of color? Chloe poses here in 2007.

In a dramatic ruffled and pleated fan dress in 2005.

Chloe channels Marylin Monroe in 2002.

Chloe wears a cute and playful Tara Subkoff dress.






High-waisted short-shorts are this summer’s hottest article of clothing. Because the silhouette shortens the torso, balance your proportions by pairing them with a high-collared top like Chloe Sevigny.

Chloe Sevigny looks great in this pretty floral Emanuel Ungaro dress. I even forgive her black tights and shoes.

My Odd Crush: Russell Brand

Russell Brand can get away with a lot more than a striped sweater and gold boots.

Those are lyrics from a song on Katy's tee. Apparently Russell makes her feel shit.

Russell Brand and his fiancee Katy Perry are out in snazzy shoes and sunnies.

Really, Russell Brand is probably more put-together than your husband. It's kind of ironic.

Russell Brand's left hand man sure has the same shoe flair as Russell.

Could his pants be any tighter? Consider these leggings. I have to admit, his shoes add some flair.


Is there something wrong with me if I find Russell Brand kinda the shit?

Kickette is the number one authority on the web for all things fun, fluffy and footie-related. Multi-millionaire football star shenanigans, exclusive WAG gossip and snarky fashion analysis are the reason we exist.

We promise to never write about real news like transfers, sports stats or the offside rule – because we know you’re already getting that information elsewhere. Instead, we pledge to offer as much in-depth frivolity and superficial reports of hot players and their nice automobiles as is possible within our regular manicure schedules.

For those that love football, but also love the WAG lifestyle, footy culture, designer labels, gossip/debauchery just as much, Kickette is the site for you.

Like an FYI, WAGS are the wives and girlfriends of soccer players.

I'm Not Sorry When I Say This- There Are Some Physical 'Imperfections' That Are Just...Unaccpetable

Model (famously size 4- apparently that's curvy in the model world- in real life- no f'king way) Lara Stone posed for cameras as she showed off her center part blonde locks and the gross gap in her teeth. Some physical imperfections are quite endearing, but gaps inbetween the teeth (Anna Paquin anyone?) is NOT.

Fashion Retailers Dress Code

http://gawker.com/5560215/american-apparels-new-standard-no-uglies-allowed?skyline=true&s=i

I didn't know they were so awful about their models and the look they want to achieve. This is just gross.

Fashion No-No's for MEN and WOMEN

Too much makeup. You look like a clown. A scary one.

I’m assuming these two conferred on their outfits, but perhaps it was just coincidence. Either way, Oscar rules apply: standing next to someone in the same dress/cap/beard/tattoo is just embarrassing. And creepy.

Women wear the wrong size bra all the time. It makes me kinda sad. Larger-breasted women tend to wear bras that are too small, and smaller-breasted women bras that are too large. Larger women are more likely to have an incorrect bra fit because most women's breasts are asymmetrical, especially when the breasts are large. I talked to my mom. And the ladies at Victoria's Secret, complete with their measurement tape.
Wearing the wrong bra size can lead to a number of problems, including back pain, restricted breathing, abrasions, breast pain and poor posture. And looking just plain ridiculous.
Middle school all over again...

The issue here is the case of VPL: visible panty lines. And bunching. Bunching makes your butt look like squished cakes. Gross. A way to combat this awful case are seamless boy shorts that are a safe alternative to stupid thongs.


The Mullet: We do NOT want to bring this back. I don’t care how much Hannah Montana’s/Miley Cyrus’s daddy Billy Ray sings about it. It never should have happened in the first place.

Too Skinny Jeans on MEN: So few men can pull off skinny jeans, literally, they need the jaws of life to assist them.
But I digress, it leaves nothing to the imagination, and if you’re wearing skinny jeans guys,chances are, that’s all you have filling them, imagination.

Showing of the Thong: Ladies, ladies, ladies.
What is the reason I hear constantly about why we wear thongs? “I don’t want to show my panty lines.” You don’t? So you want to wear low rise pants and show your ass, and the whole pair of panties? Oh that’s SO much classier. Chic, really. *Rolling my eyes* Pull your pants up, girl, we don’t need to see your business.

Extreme Tan lines: You know you’ve seen them. Girls wearing tube tops with THESE tan lines. WHY? Girl, please, either undo the strings when you’re sunbathing, lay in a tanning bed to avoid these lines, or hey, here’s an idea, stay out of the sun. The latter is better for your skin.

Ugly Prom or formal occasion Dress: Because when I’m told I need formal attire, the first thing that comes to mind is “I NEED to look like a highlighter marker.” Not. Do NOT buy this kind of dress. It’s ugly, gross.

BUTTS- A Detour From Fashion

Michelle's arms got old. Who can blame him. A butt is a butt. ^O^

Soldier Butt crank that Soldier Butt. Haters getting mad 'cuz got me some butt!



Duh.


Fashionistas and everyone: check to see if your clothing is see through. If you purposely wore 'special' panties for all to see- it seems cool or funny but it is actually stupid.


'Sorry for being a butt' card!


Butt water skiing!


Butt baby face.



That's why we soccer players should always keep an eye on the ball so we don't have a picture of us looking like we just farted a soccer ball.


The thing about butts is we all have them. I don't think it's that big of a deal. They are pretty much the same looking for most and are to me, kinda funny. Here are some pictures I find amusing that involve butts (nothing BAD or naughty, come on!)
