2013 Golden Globes: Jodie Foster

Jodie Foster was the epitome of elegance at the '2013 Golden Globes' held at the Beverly Hills Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

The 'Lifetime Achievement Award' winner wore a marvelous navy embellished Giorgio Armani dress with intricate straps.

She teamed her look with a sleek bob, silver clutch, and minimal makeup.

Top 10 Milan Fashion Week Looks

The run-down of my top 10 favorite looks from the Milan Fashion Week fall/winter 2012 runways, in no particular order.

Jil Sander

Raf Simons' last collection was an eat-your-heart-out kind of moment. It hit all the right notes and showed his successor, Jil Sander herself, that she has enormous shoes to fill. This slice of silver lamé under a pitch-pefect white collarless coat was my favorite look, something that a modern-day Jean Harlow might wear.

Gucci

Frida Giannini's latest collection for Gucci was dark and romantic, laden with jewel tones and velvet. One of my favorite gowns was this emerald leopard print velvet number, slit down to there in true Gucci style. 

Versus

Printed thigh-high boots made to match printed party frocks seems like a wonky idea, but somehow it worked at Versus. 

Giorgio Armani

Armani's latest collection was youthful and fun, with plenty of neon-on-black color combinations. Silky Bermuda shorts and flat oxford shoes gave this wild faux fur coat a playful edge.

Emilio Pucci

A men's-style tuxedo jacket casually thrown over Joan Smalls' shoulders was such a killer way to give this outrageously sexy dress that certain je ne sais quoi. 

Versace

White, skin-tight, and spangled with silver. This is exactly the way I like my Versace.

Fendi

Karl Lagerfeld always puts out the best furs for Fendi, and this season was no different. Worn over a burgundy crocodile dress, this multicolored fur looks sinfully luxurious.

Roberto Cavalli

I don't know if it's the train conductor hat, the elbow-length blue leather gloves, the double peplum, or that it's on Natasha Poly, one of the fiercest models in the biz, but there's something about this look that I'm obsessed with. 

Dolce & Gabbana

Sicily's baroque religious traditions inspired Dolce & Gabbana's collection this season, but in true form, the designers added a liberal splash of sex appeal to the mix. An ornate gold-embroidered cape worn seductively over a sheer lace dress had a naughty vs nice appeal.

Missoni

The first look from Missoni's fall/winter collection had me at hello. A natty tweed overcoat with a fur collar looked super sick belted over buttery leather patchwork pants.

Spring 2011 Trend Report: Peekaboo Shoulders

Fall's erogenous zone may have been the bosom, but come spring, it's all about the shoulder.  

Sleeves ruled the runways, but a recurring theme was to slash them at the top, revealing a sliver of skin (Alexander McQueen), or framing the shoulder for a slyly sensual effect (Versace).  

While every naughty bit remains covered, the finished product can be quite tantalizing. I figured this out when I wore a BCBG satin pussycat bow blouse with cutout shoulders to work once. My boss (who happens to be my aunt), scolded me gently. "Lovely shirt, but much too sexy for the office!"

Spring 2011 Trend Report: Crop-Tops

Much chicer than its 1990s Britney Spears/Christina Aguilera era predecessor, the Spring 2011 crop-top is now suitable for grown-ups.

Worn with a high-waisted skirt or trousers to conceal the less flattering lower ab region, the crop-top du jour is sensible for slim women sans six packs. 

Whether you choose to bare a scandalous amount of skin with a bra top or just a sliver for a more modest approach, the key to perfecting this trend is fabulous posture and a whole lotta confidence.
