Whether you're hitting the beach or the boardwalk, George Kotsiopoulos, E! Fashion Police co-host and JustFab.com style expert has some helpful hints for feeling confident and looking chic all summer.
Flatter your figure: Be sure to pick a suit that flatters your body type. Kotsiopoulos suggests a string bikini, because a bathing suit with less fabric can actually make you look smaller! For those of us not ready to break out the itty bitty bathing suit, there are lots of one-pieces with body shapers built-in for extra coverage.

Summer trends: Neoprene scuba style suits were huge on the spring/summer 2013 runway and something Kotsiopoulos thinks is a totally worth trying. But opt not for the retro pin-up style trend, instead he suggests going for cut-out one piece to show off a sexy side. But don't forget to load up on sunscreen and stay in the shade to prevent crazy tan lines!

FilmMagic; Courtesy; Time Inc. Digital StudioHow gorgeous did Amy Adams look at the New York City premiere of Man of Steel last night? The star, who plays Lois Lane in the heroic new flick, mirrored the caped crusader's iconic "S" emblem with a bold red lip, and we loved how the subtle pink undertones gave the color a current feel. "I didn't want to do just a red lip with lighter eyes," said her makeup artist Stephen Sollitto. "We wanted the look to be a little softer, but with a modern twist." To achieve the effect, Sollitto used sheer aubergine and copper tones on her eyes, then chose Votre Vu's French Kiss Lipstick in Annette as the finishing touch. The balm-like texture allows room for versatility - one swipe imparts a natural-looking flush, but can be built upon for a more dramatic pop of color. Pick up the hue for $23 when it hits votrevu.com in September.

Getty ImagesWhile Lois Lane may be the traditional Superman sidekick, the actress who plays her in Man of Steel wasn't taking the wing-woman role last night. All eyes were on Amy Adams as she absolutely killed it in an intricately-designed Nina Ricci gown. While black dresses are the go-to choice on the red carpet these days, this gown stands out from the crowd with such exquisite detail, and, well, Amy wearing it. We need a closer look.

The gorgeous creation has such amazing detail: the rosette ruching on the bodice, hip, and train, plus the beautiful embroidered lace panel at the back. And look, no side boob on this four-time Oscar nominee!
The boning on the back gives the dress a hint of pin-up-girl-sexy, but the whole look is still undeniably Old Hollywood elegant.

As someone who recently went through a bit of a four-eyed catastrophe (broken glasses and an empty stash of contacts), I've spent a lot of time trying on new frames through online try-on programs. I would see a frame on the screen or on another person and think: I like that style. That's totally me. Yet I'd try them on my narrow face and be all, yikes. Not flattering at all. It's interesting how different-shaped glasses can make such a drastic difference to your appearance and how much this depends on the shape of your face. While it isn't an exact science, understanding your face shape - your positive attributes and weaker features - is similar to knowing if your skin undertones are cool or warm or whether or not your body shape is pear or apple. And it just might help you find the perfect pair of specs. Rivet & Sway does an awesome job at breaking down face types and making suggestions as to which frames might be the best picks. - By Michelle Horton
