Get the look: Leighton Meester’s Proenza Schouler platform heels
December 16, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Leighton Meester is no Blair Waldorf! The Gossip Girl star’s personal style is quite different from her character on the show, where she dresses in frilly frocks and accessorizes with headbands and high heels. It looks like high heels are the only thing that transfers over to her real-life wardrobe. She donned an interesting black leather dress and Proenza Schouler platforms to Z100’s Jingle Ball 2009 presented by H&M at Madison Square Garden in New York City. Can’t say we’re loving the dress, but the heels - Blair would approve.
We didn’t find the exact match but we located a very similar pair of the Proenza Schouler platform heels on Zappos. The shoes go for $699 and feature a two-tone patent leather upper with a gold metallic almond shaped toe. These sling-backs have a 4 1/2″ heel with a two-tiered 3/4″ platform and are lined in leather. Do you love?

Rent the Runway: haute couture that you love, wear and return
November 9, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · 2 Comments
UPDATE: Rent the Runway is currently INVITATION-ONLY. In order to join, please email me at editor (at) whatshaute (dot) com.
Anyone who knows me well knows that I am a fickle shopper. ‘Buy today, return tomorrow’ has long been my motto. Not everything of course – I do like to keep my closet well-stocked. But I like to buy something, try it on at home, test it out with a few accessories and see if it ‘works’. If not, it’s going right back to the store. But with more and more stores adopting a “No refunds” policy, what’s a girl to do?
Enter Rent the Runway. Dubbed the ‘Netflix of Haute Couture’, this new site brings high-end fashions to the masses. But not in a lower-priced, mass-produced kind of way. No, these are the actual runway pieces so you can wear what celebrities wear, at about one-tenth of the cost. You can rent dresses and exclusive runway pieces from fashion designers like Diane Von Furstenberg, Hervé Léger, Proenza Schouler and Christian Siriano. Siriano’s ready-to-wear pieces traditionally go for up to $3,000, but on Rent the Runway, you can get pieces from his line for $150 to $200.
Other perks include:
A reservation system to ensure that you can get a specific dress for the night you need it.
On-call stylists
Returns within 24 hours of rental, for any reason
A second style of dress as a backup, for an additional $25
A custom garment bag and fit kit including double-sided tape, bra strap adjusters and deodorant stain removers
Are you ready to Rent the Runway? “Love. Wear. Return.” Now that’s a motto we can shop with.
MJ-inspired: Proenza Schouler studded leather boots
October 15, 2009 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment
Halloween is quickly approaching and while we won’t waste our time considering this as a possible costume, we might consider dressing as someone who is actually worthy, and famous for something substantial. The King of Pop (Michael Jackson) is bound to be a popular costume this year, but we found some shoes that would do him justice without looking too costume-y. The Proenza Schouler studded leather boots are simple black leather ankle boots with a low heel and silver stud-covered vamp. They’re pricey ($1,055!) but perfect with those highwater pants, nonetheless. Now we can’t promise they’ll improve your Moonwalk, but you’ll still look and feel like a dancing machine.

80th Annual Academy Awards - Mermaid Dresses on the Red Carpet
February 24, 2008 by Ehmonie Hainey · Leave a Comment

Celebrities embraced the mermaid silhouette on this year’s Oscar’s red carpet. TV Guide host Lisa Rinna wore a navy satin gown, and fellow soap star Adrienne Frantz wore a gold beautifully beaded stunner. Jennifer Garner looked stunning in an Oscar de la Renta ruched, black strapless gown and Amy Adams offset her green Proenza Schouler gown with a French Art Nouveau gold-mesh purse by Fred Leighton.
