5 Ways to Channel Your Inner Bombshell
Sophia Loren. Marilyn Monroe. Elizabeth Taylor. Eva Mendes. Kim Kardashian. Beyonce. They all have one thing in common: they are all bombshells. Beautiful women are a dime a dozen, but not every woman has the sexy allure of a bombshell. Though her ensemble may be a wee bit tighter or low cut, she’s always classy not trashy. Bombshells accentuate their form with an unabashed confidence. It’s not about being objectified; it’s about celebrating her womanhood. She is not afraid to show up in a fiery red dress when everyone else is going for basic black. For the Bombshell, every day is a fashion show. Keep clicking to see what you need to channel your inner bombshell.
-
Pencil Skirt
No Bombshell wardrobe would be complete without a saucy pencil skirt. Form-fitting yet totally covered up, every one of your curves will be highlighted without actually showing any skin. Take a cue from Eva Mendes in a hot red take on the traditional pencil skirt. She looks casual yet sexy in this sailor style skirt at the Spike Awards.
-
Pencil Skirt
Try this one from Jane Norman. £25 at House of Fraser.
-
Leopard Print
Wearing animal print can be tricky, but not for a Bombshell. This classic staple is a must-have but you have to know how to rock it so you look classy not trashy. Joy Bryant wears it well at the Hit and Run premiere.
-
Leopard Print
For a less vampy version, try this long-sleeve number from Tinley Road. $79 at Piperlime.
-
Fitted Shirt or Sweater
No one did it better than Marilyn Monroe when it came to tight fitting sweaters. Paired with a skirt, shorts, or jeans, a sultry sweater elevates an everyday look from boring to Bombshell.

Fitted Shirt or Sweater
Sport this fitted sweater from Enza over a pair of light gray jeans and pumps for a lazy Sunday. $154 at Revolve Clothing.

Cinched Waist
Everyone’s favorite love-to-hate bombshell Kim Kardashian always knows how to work what she’s got. She does it perfectly in this ensemble by adding a belt to make her waist appear smaller.

Cinched Waist
B-Low The Belt offers a range of cute belts including this one named Laine. Wear it with a fitted dress to create the illusion of an hourglass figure. $110 at Shopbop.
-
Body hugging dress
Finally, the last thing a bombshell needs is a body conscious dress. Not to be confused with the body con styles of late, this style is not as revealing. Think Joan from Mad Men. In real life, Beyonce channels this look in this stunning white number.

So Pinteresting: The Fall Fashion Forecast is Looking Good
By now you might have guessed that Pinterest is The Fashion Spot's never-ending fountain of inspiration. And right now we've got our sights set on fall fashion. Luckily for us, some of our favorite pinners also have autumn squarely in their view, posting a plethora of color-coordinated layers topped with chunky knits, fun makeup experiments, and cool new 'dos. Whether you want to dress up or dress down, go lighter or go darker, or transition your favorite summer looks into autumn-appropriate looks, now is the time to do it. Click through for what's getting us the most excited about the changing of seasons.
-
Go Goth...
Experimenting with your beauty look is a super-fun way to embrace a new season (and it can be a lot cheaper than changing out your entire wardrobe). The gothy, dark look is so great for fall, as this pin demonstrates brilliantly.
-
...or Grunge
But if you want to change up your wares, do it! Grunge is fun for fall — and it's, um, easy to master. Look to this pin for the ultimate grungey look.
-
Chunky Layers
This is pretty much the classically perfect fall look: dark tights, layers, chunky scarf. We can practically feel the chill in the air already.
-
Loud Prints
Good news! You don't have to forfeit your fun prints for fall — wear them loud and proud, like the fashionable subject of this pin. Just make sure you're pursuing long sleeves or warm layers!
-
Convert Your Maxi
Think your long, flowy maxi dress (or skirt) is just for summer? Think again. It'll look like new when you top it with a fitted jacket and requisite winter accessories, like the lady in this pin expertly shows.
-
Cooler Denim
Denim is a great fall staple; polka-dotted denim is the ideal fall staple (and it'll go with more than you might think!).
-
Bob & Leather
Keri Hilson's pitch-perfect, brightly blonde bob looks so great topped with that leather hat.
-
Bangless Bob
Alright, the bob is pretty much our favorite haircut for fall. While bangs have been "in" for a while, Oliva Palermo proves that they aren't always necessary for a chic-yet-updated look.
-
Borrowed From the Boys
Talk about the perfect borrowed-from-the-boys fall look! Deeply hued (but also bright) pants paired with a traditional knit sweater would look as good on you as it does on this dude model here.
-
Elevated Sweater Dress
When we picture sweater dresses, we imagine empire waistlines and clingy gauges — this lovely oversized number has us dreaming of something better.
