Eva Green really knows how to captivate fans on the red carpet.
The 36-year-old actress had all eyes on her when she attended the New York City premiere of Tim Burton’s "Miss Peregrine’s Home for Peculiar Children" on Monday night — and it didn't hurt that the blue-eyed British beauty wore a sheer lace oxblood gown that flaunted her flawless features.

"She looked ravishing in a red number featuring plenty of see-through paneling at the star-studded gala event held at Saks Fifth Avenue in the Big Apple," raves the Daily Mail. "Her curvaceous figure was on full show as she rocked the burgundy-colored sleeveless number featuring a flowy skirt."
"Upping the sex appeal, the dress featured lacy detailing all around the chest and the hips, which gave just a glimpse of her skin," added the celebrity news site.

When it comes to fashion, Green is definitely on to something. Aside from rocking one of autumn’s hottest hues, celebrity stylists believe you can never go wrong with classic lace look to enhance your figure.
"It’s not just for your grandmother’s coffee table, the curtains, or the living room," says celebrity fashion stylist Anthony Henderson. "When wearing lace, you want it to accentuate your hottest assets. You should be confident that it will make you feel fabulous."
Furthermore, Henderson advises making sure the lace is strategically placed on your favorite feature, helping to showcase it like a pro.

For New York Fashion Week (NYFW) 2016 earlier this month, American fashion designer Michael Costello made sure spring was in full swing (in September) with his Spring/Summer 2017 collection, featuring jewel-hued gowns and flowing frocks perfectly paired with glorious, oversized flower crowns.
The Daily Mail reports that Costello’s theme was "midnight botanical bash," and he didn’t disappoint. Statuesque sirens strutting down the runways wearing the season’s must-have accessory, each rocking glittering headpieces featuring blooming roses dipped in glitter, seas of violets and shimmering orchids.
And like anything else in the fashion world, Costello’s latest creation is actually a familiar one.
"Floral crowns, though they conjure visions of Renaissance maidens with hollyhocks and laurel in their hair, or 1960s flower children weaving daisy chains, are having a decidedly new moment," reported the New York Times back in 2014. "Inspired by the bohemian, petal-adorned style of celebrities like Lana Dey Rey, who is photographed more often than not with Technicolor roses atop her long locks, chic urbanites are increasingly drawn to flower headpieces as both a fashion statement and a novel way to reconnect with the natural world."

In addition to Del Rey (pictured below), floral crowns have also found popularity as an overused statement piece worn by selfie-loving social media stars partying at Coachella.
However, style experts insist that floral crowns are still on-trend, and they can be worn in a fresh, unique way, all thanks to a little inspiration from Costello.
"In the Michael Costello runway show, models wore floral crowns to complement the flowing gowns in metallic and fuchsia hues and textures," explains stylist and fashion expert Samantha Brown. "To take this trend from the runway, consider the scale of the flowers and the context of the events. Crowns are relevant when worn the right way: oversized for evening events and music festivals.”
"Floral crowns lend a bohemian flare, so they’re best left to outfits worn for evening, events and weekends," adds Brown. "Adding a hint of sparkle to the mix can also create a more dramatic, fancy effect."

Jenny Cipoletti, who founded Margo & Me and was in the audience at Costello's NYFW show, also agrees that floral crowns are hotter than ever — as long as you think big.
"If you’ve written off the flower crown for good, you might want to reconsider," says Cipoletti. "Michael Costello made a serious case for the statement piece in his Spring/Summer 2017 collection. The beautifully bohemian and whimsical look took new shape with oversized, free flowing florals — not to be confused with festival-goers."
"The bigger, the better," adds Cipoletti.

Celebrities have the best lives: posh spa treatments, all the best designer clothes, beautiful homes, exotic cars they never drive, and excursions to destinations we only dream of going.
In simpler terms, it's the lifestyle of the rich and famous. They have the best of the best — including a seasoned glam squad. A team of knowledgeable hair stylists that know every trick in the book for getting beautiful hair to match their beautiful makeup and beautiful dresses.

How many times have we all wished for their life, just for the perks of not having to lift a finger to look amazing?
But trust me, celebrities are regular people just like you and me, and someone — at some point during a styling session — taught them an awesome hair hack. You know, they were told about a product that's not really made for hair, but when used on your tresses works better than products that were made to do the same thing.
If you can't have an on-call stylist, at least you can be privy to what tricks the stars use to be epic!
Here's a few of my favorites:
Matthew McConaughey may have been hitting the red carpet at the Toronto International Film Festival to promote his new animated film "Sing," but it was his plus-one who had us do a serious double-take.

The actor’s wife, Brazilian beauty Camila Alves, stunned alongside her beau at the film's premiere at the Princess of Wales Theatre. The 34-year-old rocked a body-hugging broderie anglaise dress, which featured bold, blooming florals cascading down her runway-ready body. Alves also decided to let her voluminous curls fall past her bare shoulders, all while keeping her trendy nude shoes and accessories simple.
Seriously, was anybody even looking at McConaughey?
However, Alves is more than just a movie star’s wife; she’s also a lifestyle guru who knows a thing or two about throwing an unforgettable bash. Recently, she sat down with FOX News Magazine to share her tips for channelling a taste of her native Brazil at your next celebratory get-together —nd throwing a party like a pro is lot easier than you think.
"If you prep everything beforehand, it really takes all the headaches away," explained Alves, who also suggested mouthwatering recipes like pear and cheese endive bites, her favorite frozen Forno de Minas pão de queijo (cheese rolls), or her slow-cooker barbacoa.

Victoria’s Secret Angel Elsa Hosk possesses features that are nothing short of heaven-sent.
But while she may have won the genetic lottery, this 27-year-old Swedish stunner faces an all-too common woe that many of us share: dry, parched skin.

So, how does Hosk manage to have such glowy skin when she's modeling bikinis on the beach, or simply posing on the red carpet for photographers? Her secret is a special go-to moisturizer that, chances are, you already have in your kitchen.
"I love coconut oil," Hosk tells StyleCaster, remarking that it's her favorite moisturizer for combating her naturally dry skin. "It’s as simple as that. It’s amazing and also healing, so if you have a breakout or if you have dry hair, it works. It’s an amazing wonder product."
Hosk is really onto something, too. Coconut oil is highly regarded as a beauty product must-have that has multiple uses. Actress Blake Lively uses it on the ends of her hair to retain moisture and maintain a healthy mane, while country singer Carrie Underwood — much like Hosk — applies it on her face to hydrate her skin. Coconut oil is also a go-to staple for making your own coffee-infused body scrub, lotion bars, eye makeup remover, and even lip balm for a pillowy pout. It’s no wonder Hosk loves the stuff.

Of course, that’s not the only thing Hosk does to maintain her gorgeous glow. In an exclusive interview with FOX News Magazine (see below), Hosk once told us about the super-intense workout routine that lets her wear those Victoria’s Secret swimsuits all year long:
But in addition to those sweat-inducing, pore-cleansing workouts, Hosk maintains that coconut oil is the secret to her supple skin. And if it works for her, we’ll happily slather the stuff on our mugs, too.
