Achieve Eva Mendes' timeless vintage look by using modern day pieces. Her loose French twist adds spunk to her '50s and '60s swing-inspired gathered skirt. The Women star isn't the only one going after this look — celebrities like Katy Perry and Kate Moss have become the new generation of fashionistas by properly mixing period clothes with contemporary fashion.
Feminine pin-tucked and tuxedo-inspired blouses are the easiest ways to incorporate menswear into a look. Victoria Beckham and Charlize Theron execute this perfectly. The trick is to only add a few elements of masculinity otherwise you'll look like Annie Hall.
Reminiscent of the fully gathered skirts of the '50s and '60s this style will give your look lots of flirty movement while still exuding sophistication.
Croc-inspired textures are very popular — they were recently seen on Kim Raver in an episode of Lipstick Jungle and the Dior Python (although very animal unfriendly), has become a huge favorite among celebrities. Add a bit of the trend to your look in an eco way with these peep-toe pumps, a fantastic alternative classic black.
Fall '08 runways saw lots of exposed zippers on outerwear and divine cocktail dresses, but they don't have to stop there. Juxtaposing an otherwise industrial and masculine detail like the zipper with the softness of an evening clutch is perfect for the upcoming season.
