Yes You Can: Style Out a Bodysuit

Hannah Weil — Tue, 23 Aug 2011 14:43:10 PDT

When we say one-piece wonder, we mean it. A bodysuit slims, defines your curves, and never adds bulk under your hip-hugging denim, skirts, or trousers. The bodysuit had a major moment in the '90s, but we're newly obsessed with the undergarment-cum-wardrobe staple - and you will be, too. In understated silhouettes, or dressed up with underwire, lace, and cutouts, a bodysuit should be worn just like any other top; its benefit comes when you want a sleek, smooth silhouette without bunching, gathering, or slouchiness. The only thing to remember is that you want a bodysuit with a snap crotch - form and function should work together here! If you've ever feared the one-piece, here's a way to conquer those fears: we styled chic, wearable looks for five different occasions. Click to see.

Lipo in a Box

FitSugar — Fri, 09 Nov 2007 15:30:00 PST

Sometimes the ease of liposuction seems slightly appealing, but getting a smooth back side and belly can be done without having to go through elective surgery. While this nonsurgical solution might not be permanent, it is certainly cheaper and a lot less painful. I am talking about Lipo in a Box. Don't you just love the name?

Basically this company sells undergarments that suck you in and shape you where you need it, so it makes you look like you dropped ten pounds. You can order bodysuits, camisoles, slimming briefs, briefs that cover your belly, thongs that cover your belly, slimming shorts that cover your belly, and high waisted capris.

I think this is a brilliant way to help women feel confident and good about their bodies. I'm not saying this gives them a reason to ditch their workouts and head for the nearest Krispy Kreme counter, but if it helps women to have a more positive self-image, then I'm all for it.

American Idol: Did Phillip Phillips Deserve to Win?

Maggie Pehanick — Thu, 24 May 2012 06:25:01 PDT

After 132 million votes, Phillip Phillips is the winner of American Idol season 11. The finale was a total talent blowout. Cars were given to the top two (and their mentors), a number of bedazzled spandex bodysuits were rocked, and Jane Lynch was in the audience! Steven Tyler showed off his sloth and Idol alums Ace Young and Diana DeGarmo even got engaged on stage! But let's talk music.

Phillip got to have a jam session with Creedence Clearwater Revival's John Fogerty and Jessica Sanchez sang with Tony-winner Jennifer Holliday. But the finalists weren't the only ones who got to perform with their musical inspirations; second runner-up Joshua Ledet sang with his personal idol Fantasia Barrino, Skylar Laine jammed with Reba McEntire, and Hollie Cavanagh lit up the stage with Jordin Sparks. Legends Chaka Khan and Neil Diamond were also there, J Lo and Aerosmith brought down the house, and Rihanna performed her hit "Where Have You Been." Inevitably, it was all foreplay to the moment when Ryan called out Phillip's name. So what did you think? Are you surprised? Was the right winner chosen?

American Idol Gets Ready to Crown a Winner and to Possibly Say Goodbye to Jennifer Lopez

Katie Henry — Wed, 23 May 2012 02:22:45 PDT

American Idol finalists Jessica Sanchez and Phillip Phillips went out on a high note last night, with each hopeful singing their heart out for the judges, studio audience, and fans watching at home. Each contestant performed three songs, one chosen by the show's producer, Simon Fuller; one of their choice; and an original single they'll release should they win. Jessica kicked things off by belting out Whitney Houston's "I Have Nothing" followed by Celine Dion's "The Prayer," and she took her final turn on Idol singing her potential single, "Change Nothing." Phillip, who won the coin toss and chose to perform last, began his night with Ben E. King's "Stand by Me," followed it up with Billy Joel's "Movin' Out," and closed the show with his coronation song, "Home."

All eyes were on the finalists. However, Jennifer Lopez stole a moment of the spotlight in a sexy, asymmetrical see-through bodysuit. Jen will be back on the stage again tonight to perform her latest track, "Follow the Leader." It could be J Lo's final curtain call, as her future on the show is still undecided. Season 10 winner Scotty McCreery briefly spoke about J Lo's rumored departure from Idol, saying, "I'd hate to see her go. Whatever happens happens. She's got a lot going for her, so she'll be fine."

See by Chloé Fall 2012

Noria Morales — Wed, 29 Feb 2012 12:00:23 PST

For its Fall 2012 collection, See by Chloé presented its first runway show in Paris today, and being the modern line that it is, it did the presentation digitally, showing on the Chloé website this morning. It was a collection meant to be seen in movement, as the opening looks were all about flow - diaphanous fabrics cut into draped tops, silky pants, and soft dresses that fluttered on the models. Ideal Spring dresses now, they make for a soft contrast later with Winter knits and coats. It was all about effortless chic - a pert peacoat was done in rusty wide wale cord and worn over a bodysuit; a black asymmetric skirt was paired with a superbly cut black blazer. Blouson sleeves returned, a romantic touch on casually draped tops and dresses. It's a collection you can build a wardrobe on, and that's exactly the point of Chloé's little sister line, no?

Trends: Draped silks, slouchy pants, blouson sleeves, wide wale corduroy
Colors: Lime green, olive green, red, black, white, taupe.
Key Piece: Any of the draped dresses, tops, and silky pants; the rust peacoat.
Accessories: Pointy-toe booties; small bowling bags.
Who Would Wear It: The cool downtown girl - you know this fills the closets of women like Rachel Bilson, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, and Alexa Chung.
