Have a Classy Halloween
This Friday is Halloween but not everybody wants to dress up as a cat, a witch or anything else ghoulish. Some people will want to dress up in a very classy party ensemble and there are many options available!
This season gothic chic appeared on the catwalk at Givenchy and Gareth Pugh so it's a particularly good time for Halloween costumes.
Celebrity Style: Kimberly Stewart
Kimberly Stewart was out on the town last night with her new-maybe-beau Rhys Ifans and Kelly Osbourne. She was out partying in an on-trend gothic look which mixed fabrics and texture. Flashes of colour came from her Givenchy-inspired gold cross necklace and red Christian Louboutin heels.

Love it or Hate it: Taylor Momsen at New Moon Premiere
Taylor Momsen really indulged in the gothic look at the New Moon premiere in New York last night. The Gossip Girl star wore a black lace dress with patent ankle boots and blood red lips. When I see Taylor all dressed up like this, I find it hard to believe that she's just 16 years old!
Love it or Hate it: Kristen Stewart in Madrid
Twilight fever traveled across Europe today as the cast of New Moon hit the red carpet in Madrid. After yesterday's colourful ensemble in London, Kristen returned to her gothic style with a black dress by Elizabeth and James. The frock had leather and sheer panels with a tulip skirt.
Kristen Stewart Wears Alexander McQueen for Harper's
There's a tremendous amount of hype growing around the second Twilight movie, New Moon, which will be released on the 20th November. Kristen and Robert have gained a lot of attention scoring many magazine covers including American Harper's Bazaar (you can read the interview here). In the steamy shoot the actors had fun in an impressive designer wardrobe which included pieces by Gucci, Dior Homme, Versace and Prada.
Fabby Halloween: The Craft
The Craft became a sleepover staple when I was at High School. We would discuss which girl we'd be and it definitely inspired our teenage rebellion wardrobe! This makes it a great Halloween costume, especially if you're attending a party with a group of friends.
Love It or Hate It? Lily Allen's Gothic Style
Lily Allen was back on the party scene last night as she attended Elton John's Grey Goose fundraiser event. She went for a rock gothic look with a classic quilted Chanel 2.55 and black heels. The velvet body of the dress with tutu lace skirt reminds me of a party dress that I had as a child so I am instantly impressed but it doesn't matter what I think, what do you think?
Beauty Glossary: Goth Beauty
The word Goth, which comes from gothic, is typically used to refer to a youth subculture, which started in the post-punk era of the late 70s and early 80s. Pale skin, piercings, coal-back hair and dramatic makeup are all trademarks of the goth look, for girls, as well as boys.
Achieving a Goth beauty look is all about attitude, as oppose to actual rules.
Trend Alert: Laddered Tops
This season is all about the worn in look, from ripped jeans to laddered knits. Therefore, instead of throwing out that jumper covered in holes, simply throw it on with leggings or jeans for a grunge look.
Alternatively, if all of your knitwear is in a good state you can buy a pre-laddered top to help you achieve the style.
Will You Be Wearing Black Nail Polish For Halloween?
Whether you're going as a sexy cat or a Luella-inspired zombie; it's all about the nails this Halloween. Black polish looks chic with elegant goth offerings, and it makes your witch outfit look more individual. I'm excited about having an excuse to paint my nails black, although I get the impression that everyone will have inky talons this weekend.
