Olivia Culpo’s Guide to Holiday Dressing

It’s the most wonderful time of the year—and dressing for it is half the fun. At least according to Olivia Culpo.   Culpo’s favorite ways to celebrate this time of year include making her famous homemade biscotti, and of course, mixing and matching a bunch of chic and festive looks to carry her all the way through New Year’s Day.Topping her wish list of late? Cozy sweater dresses, sleek over-the-knee boots, and, yes, lots of red. Read on for eight ways the street style star conquers every holiday party in style.

IF YOU’RE THE HOST, KEEP IT COZY

“When you’re having people over for the holidays, it's important to be comfortable,” says Culpo. “I like to do a sweater dress with an over-the-knee boot, a stocking, and a really chic hat. If you’re cooking, just go with a dark dress color, so you don't have to worry about getting it too dirty.”

WHEN IN DOUBT, OVERDRESS

We all know dress codes can be tricky this time of year. Culpo’s take? Err on the dressy side. “I personally tend to be an overdresser rather than an underdresser in general,” she says. “But that’s mainly because I love clothes and I love putting together an interesting look. At a party, it can also feel strange when you’re too casual. If you’re really stuck, ask the host what they’re wearing and follow that lead.”

TRY HEAD-TO-TOE RED

"I've been buying a ton of red lately," says Culpo. "And I love a monochromatic look during the holidays because it's so pulled together, yet still playful." If you're not sure about going full throttle, try a crimson pump. "I like suede or muted leather over patent, so you don't get the costumey Betty Boop effect," adds Culpo, citing Christian Louboutin as her favorite. 

LAYER STRATEGICALLY

There’s nothing worse than being cold when you’re all dressed up. Culpo’s trick is to cover up without adding bulk. “Layer a black turtleneck bodysuit under your jackets and dresses,” she says. “It also looks chic with a pair of trousers.”

GO FOR A BLOCK HEEL OVER A STILETTO

“Look for a great thick block heel shoe or bootie,” says Culpo. “Stuart Weitzman has really great ones that are comfy even when you’re on your feet all night long. If you’re more of a flats person, go for a Gucci loafer. That’s what I’ll wear when I have my girlfriends over for a little casual party.”

HAVE A FOOLPROOF OUTFIT READY TO GO

In case of any last minute invites, Culpo says to have a chic look on standby, like a textured little black dress. Her other go-to? “A pair of high-waisted leather leggings,” she says. “You can put it with an oversize sweater or a sleek blazer, and it can take you somewhere casual or dressy.”

KICK YOUR MAKEUP UP A NOTCH

The finishing touch? A red lip, of course. “I love MAC lip liner with a bold Laura Mercier lipstick on top,” says Culpo. Or try a cat eye. "I don’t wear any mascara when I do a cat eye, so all of the focus is on the liner."

How Facial Yoga Can Make You Look 3 Years Younger

Image
You know that exercise can help keep your body looking healthy and youthful as you age. Now, dermatologists say that a facial exercise regimen can have similar benefits above the neck: Women who followed a 30-minute “facial yoga” routine several times a week appeared nearly three years younger after 20 weeks, according to a research letter published in JAMA Dermatology. Interest in so-called facial yoga has grown in recent years, largely because of claims that it can “rejuvenate the aging face, presumably by inducing underlying muscle growth,” the authors of the new paper wrote. Until now, however, there have been no published clinical trials to assess whether these types of exercises really can improve appearance of the skin and facial features. So dermatologists and researchers from Northwestern University teamed up with Gary Sikorski, the creator of Happy Face Yoga, to test his technique out on a small group of middle-aged women who wanted to look younger. The women were bet

Celebrity-Inspired Neutral Eyeshadow Looks That Are Anything But Boring

Image
Neutral eyeshadow shades don't have to be the filler songs of your palettes. It's true that yes, an earth tone is often needed in the background when you're creating a jewel-toned or vibrant smoky eye, but the subtle colors can hold their own, too.While it might seem that the only you're going to get any impact from wearing a neutral eyeshadow is by sweeping it across your entire lid up to the brow bone, a creative application can make a subtle shade stand out—but not so much that it will defeat the purpose of choosing a soft, natural shadow in the first place.Need inspiration? We turned to the red carpet to see how some of Hollywood's biggest wear subtle eyeshadow colors.  1. JESSICA CHASTAIN Instead of using a black liquid liner to draw on a cat eye, use an earth tone shadow for a softer effect. Jessica Chastain chose a shimmery, warm terracotta shade that compliments her ginger hair. For a similar look, try Laura Mercier's Baked Eyeshadow in Terracot
