Friday's Topic on LRS: Everyday Glamour

by on ‎03-28-2012 05:53 PM

I think it’s a common misconception that glamour is all about "dressing up." But putting your hair up and wearing something formal isn't the only way to be "glamorous." There are two kinds of glamour: one for the red carpet and one you can incorporate into every day. While red carpet glamour is certainly a lot of fun, (we all love to dress up), everyday glamour is about a finished look you can move in, the details that finish the look, and the way that you feel in it. I guess it's almost more of a "state of grace" kind of effect.

 

When I think of women who had an amazing sense of glamour in their everyday style, I can't think of better examples than Katherine Hepburn, Grace Kelly, and Jackie Kennedy.  I'm sure all three of them had an unmistakable "presence" when you met them personally, but their style helped frame and set the expectation for that effect. They were never overdone, but they always looked like they thought about their appearance and took the time to look their absolute best. Even if they wore a T-shirt, it was smart, it fit well, and they would finish it with simple details of jewelry, handbag, etc. that made it into a glamorous look, whether it was casual or not.

 

Some of their most famous photos (and best, in my opinion) show these women with those kinds of simple accessories…a pearl necklace, diamond studs, or a great pair of sunglasses. Their makeup was natural—never too heavy. And, their dresses and outfits were always perfectly tailored. This Friday on The Lisa Robertson Show, I wanted to give you a modern example of how you can get a glamorous everyday look that’s perfect for wherever your day takes you. We used a Kelly by Clinton Kelly maxi dress, a Susan Graver statement necklace, and a braided belt by VT Luxe to create one signature look. Then, later in the show, we have two of the most beautiful Affinity Diamond pieces I've ever seen, but they're definitely that simple elegance that’s perfect for everyday.

 

LRS starts on Friday at 10pm ET. Then, stay tuned for Friday Night Beauty at 11pm ET with Mally, Kate Somerville,  and Dr. Denese. On Monday's PM Style, Louis Dell'Olio and Joan Rivers will be here with some brand-new pieces. Isaac Mizrahi and Lori Goldstein are coming too! {#emotions_dlg.biggrin}

 

See you soon.
