When it came to red carpet style at the 68th Annual Golden Globe Awards, it was all about being soft, feminine and delicate. Blush, pink and nude colors ruled the carpet and the same can be said for the beauty trends. One stand out Star was Disney darling, Selena Gomez whose look was created by celebrity make-up artist, Karan Mitchell. Inspired by Gomez's beautiful Catherine Deane coral colored gown with golden chain accents, Mitchell relied exclusively on Anastasia Beverly Hills products to achieve an ultra feminine, fun and flirty look. The result was flawless. Here's a breakdown of what went into creating Selena's look. All Anastasia Beverly Hills products are available at Sephora, Nordstrom, ULTA & Anastasia.net.

The past year has been an amazing year for fashion. New trends emerged, femininity reigned supreme, we took multiple style trips to the past but most importantly, simplicity made a comeback. Here's a breakdown of what made this year so fantastic!

The famed Rodeo Drive in Beverly Hills promised and delivered. 80 Stores. 7 Gourmet Trucks. 4 Story Ferris Wheel. 3 Blocks. 1 Night Only! Fashion's Night out took over the 90210 district yesterday and made it an event to be remembered. It was all about celebrating fashion in the stores and the customers knew it. From Armani to Guess, private DJs spun through out the night. Bebe showcased a live band and champagne flowed from Prada to Tiffany & Co. Walking up the cobbled street of "Two Rodeo" with music in the air certainly put you in a Parisian state of mind. The main attraction of course was the Ferris wheel on the 200 block of Rodeo Drive. The retro-chic center piece certainly drew its own crowd. Further down, newly minted E! Fashion Commentator, Kelly Osbourne was taking over in a fashion "game" sponsored by Pandora along with Actress Joy Bryant and Celebrity Stylist George Kotsiopoulos.

A memorable event overall that no doubt created a much needed buzz for the fashion
