INFphoto; Courtesy Chanel (3); Time Inc. Digital Photo StudioA deep bordeaux lip like Anne Hathaway's makes a trendy statement, but finding your perfect wine hue can sometimes be a challenge. That's why Hathaway's makeup artist Kate Lee mixed three different shades to create a custom color that looked just right. "We wanted Anne to look slick and chic in her home town of New York City," Lee said of the makeup look Hathaway wore the New York premiere of Les Miserables. "I started out with Chanel's Rouge Allure Intense Lip Color in Rouge Noir, a deep plum. I then added the raspberry-toned Rouge Allure Velvet Matte Lip Colour in La Somptuese." A touch of Chanel's shiny magenta lipstick in Palpitane brightened the dark aubergine base, and made it less severe. Pick up each of the colors, priced from $33 to $34 each, at chanel.com.

AdMedia; Getty Images; Courtesy (3)Anne Hathaway has been getting creative with her nails lately, and we're obsessed with the blinged-out reverse French manicure she wore to the London premiere of Les Miserables. The star's digits are a perfect complement to her Givenchy dress, and her manicurist Jenni Draper opted for a budget-friendly trio of lacquers by Mavala, so nailing the look is even easier-they run for just $5 a bottle! Draper added a pewter tip with the brand's Silver polish over the pinky-nude base in Reno. If you have trouble holding a steady hand, use a strip of tape or a French tip sticker to create a crisp line, but let the neutral polish dry completely before affixing the appliques. Heavy-duty glues can damage the nail bed, so Draper applied a combination of rhinestones with Mavala's Sparkling Silver glitter lacquer. Do the same by layering on two even coats of the polish, and while it is still wet, press the 3D elements onto the nail. Follow with a generous sweep of clear top coat to lock the

The gift-giving season is upon us, and finding that perfect present can be tough. "It's pretty stressful!" empathizes Rachel Zoe. "I have made the mistake of going on a free-for-all, and it's hideous because I end up buying all the wrong things for the wrong people!" Zoe told InStyle.com at New York' Piperlime store, where was styling holiday looks. But all hope is not lost! Zoe gave InStyle.com her three tips for full-proof gift giving.

1. "Make a list of who you are buying for and write ideas of what you might get this person so that you're focused," she advises. "It's like going to the supermarket-know what you're going for."

2. For the people who seem to have it all, go for gifts for the home. "I don't think you can go wrong with trinkets and candles. Things like that are always a sure thing."

3. And if you're struggling to find that perfect present that will impress your in-laws her advice is simple:"Picture frames, especially with pictures of grandchildren," Zoe

Courtesy Photo (3)The Gossip Girl series finale is less than two weeks away! And, thanks to accessories designer Jennifer Behr, we're counting down to The End of an Era with Queen B's very own pizzazz-Behr released a gift set featuring the most memorable pices Blair Waldorf (Leighton Meester) wore on the show. "Gossip Girl stylist Eric Daman did such a great job emboldening customers to start wearing some of our more fantastic pieces as everyday wear," Jennifer Behr exclusively told InStyle.com. The set includes nine styles, including her neon pink orchid skinny band, the Arielle Swarovski piece, and the infamous "Queen B" headband-the embellished piece that Blair passed down to Little J (Taylor Momsen) when she relinquished her power at Constance at the end of Season 3. "Think of headbands as jewelry for the hair and to select a piece that matches your style and just mix it in," Behr advised. Shop the limited-edition set or individual pieces at jenniferbehr.com. The series finale airs Monday,

Time Life Pictures/DMI/Time Life Pictures/Getty; JUSTIN TALLIS/AFP/GettyOf all of Madonna's many memorable looks, one of the most iconic is her cone bra. Originally designed by Jean Paul Gaultier, the bras became the costume staple from the singer's 1990s Blonde Ambition tour, and they have staying power to this day: Two of them sold at a Christie's auction in London for nearly $80,000. Gaultier's fringed candy-striped couture corset (shown, inset) was originally expected to fetch between $16,000 and $24,000, but raked in more than double that, with an anonymous bidder shelling over $52,000 for the piece, The Guardian reports. The same private bidder paid more than $26,000 for the two-piece black Lycra piece, shown. Private "Vogue"-off, anyone?

Dimitrios Kambouris/WireImageA nude lip can balance a dramatic eye or make an elegant statement on its own-beauty rules the Kardashian sisters know and live by. At a recent launch event for the Kardashians' new beauty line Khroma Beauty, we caught up with Khloe to find out just how she gets it so right. "It's so funny what lip liner does for you! I always make sure to trace around my lips with a slightly darker color than my lipstick," she told InStyle.com. "A lot of people think lip liner is old-school, but if you want your lips to look pouty and perfect, that's the trick." Khroma includes an all-in-one set in three versatile buff tones, perfect for nailing the look. An easy way to find your perfect hue is to use the natural color of your lips as a guide, veering no more than two shades lighter or darker. "A good nude color for me might not be the same as Kim's or Kourtney's since they are darker than I am, but a nude lipstick can't be too pale, otherwise it looks chalky," she added.
