Chic and Stylish Attending couture shows calls for a glam high fashion look; sure it might not be the ornate costumes of her stage performances, but this outfit has a sense of drama in its sheer simplicity and clean lines. To get the look keep it classic. A great black dress is the base of any wardrobe and one of the best statement items a girl can have. Square necklines and cinched true waists have a very old world glamour look about them while being completely wearable today.

Red Lipped Lovely Red lips are a trademark of Gwen’s look and are a little daunting to create for the novice. Remember to choose the right red for you (cool red vs warm red), use a lip liner in small fine feathery strokes and to apply your lippy with a brush for the best application.
