The Stars Bring the Style to Cannes

 

This past week has been one of the most-watched red carpets of the year to date, the annual Cannes Film Festival. Everything about the festival is over-the-top glamorous- from the gorgeous French Riviera location, to the top-of-the-line evening gowns so many stars don, to the luxury rides many of the stars choose to arrive in (million dollar yachts). The hottest stars are always in attendance and don’t hold back when it comes to their wardrobe. Only the hottest and most exclusive designers are chosen for this red carpet. Needless to say, it’s a style reporter’s dream. Lady Lux has been keeping tabs on the best trends from the red carpet and pulled some luxury swimwear styles which reflect those trends perfectly.

 

 

One of our favorite trends we saw was the black and white color blocking. The hottest young starlets seemed to favor this trend. When you have a rocking physique and a beautiful face, why distract from that with a loud print or color? Jennifer Lawrence was absolutely stunning in her black and white Dior dress, which she paired perfectly with a effortless hairstyle and a punch of red in her lipstick. Black and white are also solid choices when it comes to your designer swimwear. These colors never go out of style and won’t take the attention away from your gorgeous face and toned shape.Truly, Madly, Deeply comes in either black or white (depending on your mood), while Pretty Young Thing comes in black.

 

 

Another huge trend on the red carpet was the polar opposite of the black and white color blocking trend- the brightest of the brights! We were blown away by how great Jane Fonda looked in this turquoise color that’s so similar to Paradise! Freida Pinto’s complexion radiated in this coral color that’s identical to Pretty Young Thing. For another great color pop option, try Unforgettable! What’s important to remember when selecting bright colors is- not everyone looks their best in all colors. Find a color that works great for your skin tone and hair color and rock it!

 

 

For the girliest of the girls, try our last trend- embellishments! From sequins to jewelry, you’ll shine in this super-sparkly, feminine trend from Cannes. Embellishments on swimwear give it that extra feeling of luxury and femininity. Styles like Sipping Pretty, Pretty Young Thing, and She’s Got A Way all have that extra special touch to make you stand out. Accessorize by layering on the jewelry such as earrings or bracelets! After all, the girly-girls who wear these suits probably won’t be doing many laps in the pool…

 

By using your favorite swimsuits from Lady Lux- it’s easy to look like you belong on the red carpet in Cannes with all of your favorite celebrities!

Billboard Music Awards Red Carpet Report

 

Last night was the annual Billboard Music Awards- which takes place every year in Las Vegas. Taylor Swift and Maroon 5 were both huge contestants, each nominated in 11 categories. What Lady Lux was concerned with, however, was what everyone was wearing! Award shows and big red carpets like the Billboard Music Awards are always great inspiration for us when styling our designer swimwear as well as picking out which styles are on trend. We saw a few trends we loved- from jewel tones to summer hues, the red (or actually blue) carpet was full of some great styles, as well as some not so great… Here are a few of our favorites.

 

 

Taylor Swift has recently been nailing red carpet after red carpet. She’s blossomed from a conservative teenager into a sexy starlet. Lately she’s been wearing shorter hems, lower necklines, and sexy cutouts- all of which are done tastefully, of course, and not all at once… Last night she rocked a royal blue micro mini dress which showed off the singers best asset- her statuesque legs. We absolutely loved the sapphire blue color of the dress, which gave us inspiration for other similar jewel tones such as the aquamarine Paradise bandeau, the amethyst purple of the Unforgettable bikini, and the pink sapphire color of the Pretty Young Thing bikini.

 

 

Black is a color that’s considered a staple for many women’s wardrobes. It’s a color that can easily go from fab to drab- based on the cut of the style as well as how you accessorize it. Emmy Rossum looked amazing in her black, floor-length gown with the use of sexy cutouts with sheer paneling. Not only did the cutouts flatter and accentuate her shape, but they were done tastefully, without being too risque. Bikinis are the same way. Truly, Madly, Deeply and Pretty Young Thing are both classic black bikinis with a twist. Their gold hardware gives them an extra feeling of glamour- defining them as luxury swimwear.

 

 

Summer is fast approaching- which is one of the reasons we loved Renee Bargh’s bright summer hue on her dress. The fun coral color coordinated perfectly with her glowing tan, which was made complete with her beachy waves. Still The One features not one, but two fun summer colors in a youthful tie-dye pattern. Other great summer-y options include Call On Me, which features tons of bright colors in a fun chevron pattern, as well as Melt Away, whose bright coral and turquoise colors get you in a playful mood for the season!

 

Other great starlets who displayed great style include Selena Gomez, Jennifer Morrison (who also rocked a sexy black dress with sheer paneling), and Jennifer Lopez. We can’t wait for the next red carpet!

Steal Rosie’s Style with Lady Lux Swimwear

 

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is not only gorgeous, but she also is known for her great sense of style that seems to be ever-evolving. Whether she’s in a T-shirt and jeans, edgy leather, or breezy bohemian prints- she seems to know how to style herself well. She is often seen wearing some of the best designer swimwear, but we wanted to focus on her day-to-day style and show you how to achieve the model’s look with your own luxury swimwear.

 

 

It may be hard to stand out as much as a high-fashion model does when she walks down the street- but with fun bohemian prints on your sexy Lady Lux Swimwear, you’ll definitely get heads turning. We love this bohemian look of Rosie’s. It’s a fun, bohemian pattern kept simple with the rest of her look. Similar in the colors as well as the style, Crazy For You has the same effect that Rosie’s look does. The bright colors in the pattern are unique and unlike a lot of other swimwear. Keep the rest of your look simple in order to not compete with your swimwear by pairing it with a camel-colored leather bag and shoes (to match the trim on the bikini).

 

 

Rosie likes to mix up her look and throw in some super edgy style choices from time to time. This black and white look does just that. The look is edgy without losing the femininity or becoming too intimidating. The Drive Me Wild monokini does just that. The sexy cutouts keeps the femininity while the tougher leather details as well as the  snakeskin pattern gives it just a bit of an edge. Make sure to keep your hair and makeup soft when styling this look- such as Rosie did. Too harsh/bold makeup will toughen your look up and make it a bit too edgy for the pool or beach.

 

 

For a youthful look that’s perfect for the transition into summer, we loved Rosie’s brightly colored tie-dye tunic. The colors are fun and the style is youthful. For a fun tie-dye with colors similar to Rosie’s tunic, we opted for the Still The One bikini. For this look, it’s okay to keep your whole ensemble bold- right down to your jewelry, shoes and accessories. To keep it youthful, however, keep your makeup fresh and light to avoid looking too harsh (which will, in turn, age you).

 

Whether your style is bohemian or edgy- Rosie shows you that it’s okay to mix up your looks from time to time! Just remember to stay true to yourself and what you like, taking only inspiration from your favorite celebrities.
