You're beautiful.
Recently, after seeing a picture of doe-eyed, pixie-sporting Ginnifer Goodwin, I've had gamines on the brain. Characteristics often associated with gamine women include pixie hairstyles, short, straight-across bangs, bobbed hairstyles, wide eyes, petite features, boyish qualities, and a bit of what you might call a certain je ne sais quoi. Check out some famous gamine stars — from both past and Read more
Along with sunnier days, sandal fever, and a whole lot of iced coffee, we're looking forward to the season's onslaught of silver-screen blockbusters and indie films and, of course, the inspiring movie fashion that comes with it. More specifically, we're dying to see what Penelope Cruz will be wearing (aside from that sexy little red minidress) in Woody Allen's To Rome With Love, how Michelle Read more
For Fall 2012, Ann Taylor's head designer Lisa Axelson crossed the pond and took to the banks of the Seine, to the cozy-chic cafés of Montmartre, and to the gardens of the Tuileries. The result? An autumnal collection not only reminiscent of her travels, but also totally inspired by la femme jolie. Apart from the brand's signature animal-print wares (this time, in a digital dalmatian iteration), Read more
The basic rule of fashion is that it should be fun; a rule that Fab reader Wunderlust takes seriously. She takes girlish frills and menswear ideas to create a black and cream gamine look that's simultaneously charming and quirky. We love the hat and the black bow — and those black clogs are an unexpected choice that totally works. Congrats to Wunderlust! Everyone else, submit your looks, and I Read more
Never one to shy away from provocative storytelling, Marc Jacobs has become just as well known for his bohemian-meets-sexy ads as for the clothes he creates. With famed shutterbug Juergen Teller lending his signature brand of no-frills photography to Marc's campaigns for the last 14 years, we've come to expect nothing less than memorable editorials. From his longtime friend Sofia Coppola starring Read more
Anne Hathaway may have sported a pixie-style wig as she was filming One Day back in 2010, but fast-forward a little less than two years later, and the cute crop is now a reality. Anne debuted the gamine-chic style in London, where she is currently filming an onscreen adaptation of Les Misérables. But whereas Anne's character, Fantine, crops her hair in the novel, art reflecting life stops there; Read more
Ever the elegant gamine, Michelle Williams stunned at the SAG Awards in a red lace Valentino gown and matching red strappy heels. We're loving this bold bombshell color changeup from her usual go-to neutral palette. To accentuate the lace sleeve details and subtle asymmetrical hem, Michelle chose a metallic boxy clutch and a textured gold cuff bracelet to keep the look gilded and gorgeous. Her Read more
We just got our hands on the Jason Wu for Target lookbook, showing the line in its 53-piece entirety. The "gamine chic" collection, inspired by French new-wave films, drops online and in stores on Feb. 5 featuring a range of pieces reflecting girlie nuances with a fresh twist via crisp peplum tops, sweet floral-print dresses, Peter Pan collars, and pleated skirts. Striped colorblocking, sheer Read more
Carey Mulligan has the gamine-chic look down pat, and her makeup look at the 2011 Hollywood Film Awards was the perfect example on how to do it right. When creating her look for the gala, makeup artist Georgie Eisdell (who has also worked with stars such as Saoirse Ronan and Christina Hendricks) explained, "I wanted it to be all eyes, eyebrows, and perfect skin." Want to see how she achieved it? Read more
You can go a few ways with military: the slouchy, masculine route, the gamine route, or a more polished route, which is what Fab reader Lillian Vikki did. She rolled up slouchy chinos — better to show off those sexy black heels — and layered a long, rather sleek utilitarian shirt-dress that she's wearing as a jacket for a total chic military look. We love the genius styling! Congrats to Read more
