Paula Patton is taking the movie scene by storm! Aside from being a leading lady to her husband Robin Thicke and the couple’s toddler son, Julien, Ms. Patton is doing her thing and leading the box office with back-to-back movie releases. Just this month, she plays Denzel Washington‘s love interest in the action-packed film 2 Guns, and next month we’ll have the chance to see her in the romantic comedy Baggage Claim, alongside a star-filled cast that includes Jill Scott, Taye Diggs, Lala Anthony, Boris Kudjoe, and Trey Songz.
As women, our lifestyles are often busy with non-stop schedules. In spite of this, our closets should be filled with the go-to essentials to keep us looking effortlessly fabulous. Whether you’ve been searching for a few dress ideas or inspiration for a carefree outfit, why not be inspired by a few favorite looks spotted on this week’s “Star Style,” Paula Patton?
There’s something sexy that happens to an outfit when sugar and spice come together. If you want a look that is subtle and flirty, consider mixing something tough, such as a motorcycle jacket with a flutter skirt.
If you’ve worked hard in the gym to achieve those curves, try a nude dress with a colorful lace overlay. The texture is flattering and highlights the silhouette of your physique.
On the weekends when you want a look that’s fun and casual, consider pulling inspiration from a favorite era. Cali girl Paula, definitely took it back to the ’80s in this leather-on-leather moto jacket and skinny jean combo. And the Chanel sneakers simply add a dollop of luxury.
Prints alone speak volumes, so keep the overall statement simple with a muted yet complementary color palette.
When selecting a special occasion dress, always be sure to play up your best assets for a lasting impression. Whether it’s amazing arms, legs, or curves, pick a dress that highlights that area the best.
Although leopard and lace isn’t the most likely style combination that comes to mind, the two make a classy and fierce mix. Paula really sizzles in this Dolce & Gabbana dress!
Leather dresses are most perfect for either a girls’ night or a date. If considering this must-have for fall, keep in mind that leather hugs the body, so if necessary, remember your shape wear!
