Red Carpet Trend Report: The Scoop on Wacky Hemlines, White Heels & ‘Too Much Look’

Mar/08/2013 at 06:00 PM ET

We like to stay on top of trends, but we have to admit that the two looks seen all over the red carpet lately have us a little surprised. And yet, the stars wearing them look so cute that we may put prejudices aside and give them a try ourselves. See which styles are gaining ground — and which one we’re ready to leave in the dust — below:

Up: Funky hemlines. More advanced than your basic high-low or handkerchief hemlines, stars like Halle Berry and Nicole Richie have been sporting fitted skirts with triangular cutouts. This look has the same thigh-baring effect as a high slit without being quite as obvious — though we strongly recommend practicing sitting and standing in this one before taking it public.

Heidi Klum: I Have No Idea What I’m Doing With My Hair at the Oscars

With the Academy Awards mere days away, Hollywood’s hottest stars are prepping their head-to-toe looks and scheduling hair trials. With one notable exception: Heidi Klum, whose dress must arrive from France before she can make any decisions. (Supermodel problems!)

“[My dress is] being made in Paris right now and being flown in on Friday,” Klum tells PEOPLE. “Once I try it on, I will think of my hair style. The dress is always first, then the hair, makeup and jewels.”

But don’t expect to see Klum to show up with a brand new do (unlike some other stars we have in mind): She’s got no plans to go short at the moment.

“Some people might not like when my hair is shorter, including my daughter Leni,” the face of Clear Scalp & Hair Beauty Therapy says of her most petite fashion critic — and for the moment, Klum agrees. “I did cut a short bob twice — and grew it out again. I just love long hair. I’ve cut bangs again and again too, [then] grown them out. It’s back and forth!”

Heidi Klum: It’s Dangerously Easy to End Up Nude in Photo Shoots

Take it from someone who’s been there: Posing nude isn’t always a good career move.

“When you have a good body, photographers will often be like, ‘Yeah let’s take this off, and why don’t we lose this too,’” Heidi Klum explains in the 20th anniversary issue of Ocean Drive. “You can quickly end up not wearing much clothing. You have to be careful and strong at saying no, especially when you’re younger and on your own. Not everyone is cool and has your best interest [at heart].”

It’s true — Klum’s experience in the modeling business has taught her a lot. “I’ve learned to not be scared,” she says. “When you’re young and pretty, you can’t be vulnerable.” You can’t be meek, either. “Not that I’d hurt anyone to get to the top, but you have to bring your hustle and watch your back.”

And getting to the top has its perks — like having your legs insured. “In London, I had to go to an insurance firm and this person just checked out my legs,” she says of her deal with Braun razors. “On one knee, I have a scar from when I fell and had to get stitches, so they made that leg less expensive than the other. But I went with it. And obviously, it’s all very flattering.”

Tabatha Coffey Picks Her Five Favorite Star Looks of 2012

Dec/28/2012 at 10:00 AM ET

We’ve enjoyed hearing Bravo star Tabatha Coffey’s take on star styles this year — and don’t worry, she’s coming back for more in 2013! But she recently took time out of her busy shooting schedule to critique the best in star style this year, and we have to say, she made some very solid picks. Read on to find out who earned top honors!

How can I sum up 2012? It was a very, very colorful year for fashion, to say the least. We saw vibrant shades of red, tangerine and yellow, and soft pastels like robin’s egg blue and dusty lilac. It was refreshing to see a broader spectrum this year since in past drab neutrals have made starlets and musicians appear washed out and aged beyond their years.

Hair consisted of unpretentiously styled updos, whimsical braids, topknots and classic old Hollywood-esque chignons. Makeup was clean and fresh; less smoky eyes, more natural and effortless. It was a year to control the overall look and not let the overall look control you. With that said, here are my five favorite red carpet looks for 2012:

1. Emma Stone. Undeniably my all-time favorite look for 2012; Emma looks absolutely ravishing in red at the Oscars. This is the epitome of old Hollywood glamour. The length, draping and striking color of this Giambattista Valli Haute Couture gown is perfection. Most importantly, her hair is styled exactly as it should be. When you have a collar like this, the hair needs to be up and off the shoulders. What you can’t see in this image is how beautiful the hair is pulled back into a twisted chignon. The accessories have the right amount of bling and I’m in love with this Louis Vuitton clutch.

Heidi Klum on Her Cleopatra Costume: ‘It Took Three Hours to Put My Face On’

We’ve come to expect over-the-top ensembles (Iron Maiden, anyone?) from Heidi Klum at her annual costume party. But this year she outdid herself, though it was less about the actual costume and more about what she wore on her face: hundreds of Swarovski crystals coating her complexion.

“It took maybe three hours to put my face on and like 10 minutes to get dressed,” Klum told PEOPLE of the Cleopatra costume she wore to her Haunted Holiday Party at Finale on Saturday night in New York City. “The guy that designed the face made little pieces and put them on, and in between he had to fill in the gaps, so it took a very long time.”

(Klum’s annual costume party usually falls on Halloween, but was postponed this year due to superstorm Sandy.)

Along with a bejeweled face, Klum channeled the pharaoh in a crystal-covered headpiece, a cleavage-baring gold gown, a feathered cape and platform shoes — a glam look that’s quite the 180 from last year’s dead body costume. “I thought I was ugly last year, which I love, but I always like to change it up … I wanted something pretty and sparkly,” she explained. “Every year I try to go a little bit more wild or out the box.” Mission accomplished, Klum.

During her visit to N.Y.C., Klum also went to Long Island with AOL, Patch and the American Red Cross to give out donations and supplies to those affected by Sandy, and money raised at her bash was given to the cause, as well. Tell us: What do you think of Klum’s costume?

Tabatha’s Takeover: Where Did Heidi Klum Go Wrong?

We all know Tabatha Coffey, Bravo’s sharp-tongued Aussie style pro, from her stint on Shear Genius and her latest hit, Tabatha Takes Over. And now, she’s bringing her talents online, joining us at PEOPLE StyleWatch once weekly to dish on some of the best – and worst – celebrity looks of the week. Keep in mind the opinions below belong solely to the stylist … though she’s probably saying what lots of you are thinking, anyway!

Today, she takes on Heidi Klum, who wore this super-revealing creation to the MTV EMAs in Germany last weekend:

Let’s start this off on a positive note, shall we?

Heidi, I love your hair and the way you have it styled. The side-swept bangs really draw attention to your eyes and having it pulled to one side really accentuates that lovely long neck of yours. As far as makeup goes, it’s not overdone and I find those frosty lips a great way to accent your pearly white smile.

And now for the bad news … what in the world are you wearing?! I get it that the MTV EMAs are a chance for people to be a little more creative with their attire, and I understand you were the host for the evening, but dear Lord woman you look like a disco mermaid straight out of a Vegas attraction!
