Jennifer Lawrence has sparked a surge within the sale of Seventies-inspired clothes, due to her role within the Oscar-nominated, American Hustle.

The film, also starring Amy Adams, Christian Bale and Bradley Cooper is ready in 1970s America, and as such, is stuffed with amazing 70s outfits provided by the likes of Halston, Diane von Furstenburg and Gucci. In case you haven’t already seen it (what have you ever been doing?), think navel-grazing necklines, big hair and lots of gold jewellery.

It seems we’re all a bit smitten with J-Law’s look within the movie, with sales of the enduring wrap dress, made famous 40 years ago by Diane von Furstenburg, rising by a big 201%.

Gold bangles and stilettos also seem to subject to the yankee Hustle effect, with sales rising by 233% and 103% retrospectively.

eBay spokesperson, Laura Wilkinson-Rea says of the rage: ‘It seems that American Hustle has inspired Brits to bring some iconic 70s style back into their lives. With over 27,300 listings of wrap dresses and 1,750 lava lamps currently at the site, eBay is the ideal platform for Brits to locate their favourite 70’s style.’

Given how amazing both Jennifer Lawrence and Amy Adams look inside the movie, we aren’t surprised. We’re totally bidding on some vintage Furstenburg immediately.

Kristen Stewart missed Paris Fashion Week to film new movie, Camp X-Ray

Rex

There’s something about Kristen Stewart at fashion week that we’ve come to anticipate every season. While she didn’t seem like a natural at the front row at the beginning, the Twilight star has become an organization favourite whenever she does commit to descend at the style pack.

No more so than at Balenciaga and Chanel, where she worked all-out glamour for the designers’ High fashion Autumn Winter 2013 shows in July.

So while Kristen is busying filming scenes for her new film, Camp X-Ray, we’ve rounded up the five reasons she was sorely missed at Paris Fashion Week SS14…

1. Those tousled tresses

Whether she’s dolled up in a spangled jumpsuit or spotted backstage in off-duty denims, Kristen’s commitment to her un-kept tresses can’t be underrated. The possibility of another Balenciaga braid was high on our wish list this season.

2. The smoky eye

Where there’s a facet-swept hairdo, Kristen’s smoky eye isn’t far behind. At Chanel she infused sweeps of blue glitter while keeping the kohl liner smudged and moody invariably.

3. Her power stance

Need we are saying more? This Hollywood starlet is famous for her smoldering, shy and deeply complex method to posing. Be it at the red carpet, or on the hottest shows of favor week.

4. Lessons in biker jackets

Between her trusted black leathers and that quilted yellow number she wore on the Spring Summer 2013 shows, this girl knows a powerful biker jacket when she sees one.  

5. The off-duty style inspiration

When she’s not rocking her best front row rise up, Kristen occupies our roving fashion week eye along with her best in off-duty wares. Denims, slogan tees, specs and running shoes. Love.

Until next season, K-Stew!
