Let's be real: Flats are few and far between on red carpets. Not only do celebs love a good stiletto, but their heels also serve as major eye candy. Stuart Weitzman, Gianvito Rossi, Christian Louboutin—most red carpet staples are undeniably pretty…and can be oh-so painful. After a few hours, feet are aching and you're left wishing for a pair of $50 sneakers. Stars suffer through this too, and though they may have stylists to help ease the discomfort, you have expert Lindsay Albanese to reveal their industry secrets. Forgo the Blisters and Chaffing: "I swear by moleskin [strips or bandages]," said Lindsay. "It's what all the stylists and celebs use in the industry. Forget the...

Wardrobe indecision? The struggle is real. Sometimes, despite your on-point options, your outfit ends up looking a little, well, meh. But you needn't go from zero to 100, adding all the accessories or jewelry in your arsenal to create more interest. No, friend, the trick to elevating a seemingly boring outfit is actually pretty simple. The easiest thing you can do is stock your makeup bag. "Red lipstick changes everything," said celeb stylist Lindsay Albanese. "When I'm feeling eh about my look or even when I'm not in the mood to put together a killer outfit, I keep the look basic, add a red lip and I feel as stylish as Gwen Stefani. Red is the most formal lip color and it adds glam to...

A great boot (or bootie) is to fall, as elastic waistbands are to Thanksgiving—it's essential. Now that the temps are cooling down, you have reason to brush off last year's tried-and-true Chelsea or knee-high iterations. Or, if you dare, let us introduce you to the new age of seasonal steppers. Meet: your next must-have fall boot. "This season, it's all about the extreme opposites—booties or over-the-knee and thigh-high styles," noted celeb stylist Lindsay Albanese. "Anything in between, such as a knee high (although a classic choice), isn't as much in the spotlight this year." Please see the plethora of stars strutting around in mod, blocked heeled, '70s...

Summer may have been the season of the bodysuit—with celebs embracing the typical undergarment as sexy statement pieces (Hey, Miley). However, considering the bodysuit's skintight construction and layer-ability, it's a fall wardrobe essential if we ever saw one. "The sleek and fitted silhouette gives that perfectly tucked-in look," said celeb stylist Lindsay Albanese. (Kim Kardashian would probably agree.) Take, for example, Gigi Hadid's ever-classic styling of a black bodysuit—it's simple, comfortable and appropriate for an epic Taylor Swift concert or daytime date. For fall, however, go a little bit longer with the skirt hem and add dimension with design details, like pleating, to...

So you weren't invited to Nyfw. You didn't sit front row next to fashion-forward celebs or attend exclusive star-studded parties. Tough deal. Luckily, E! Style Collective member and celeb stylist Lindsay Albanese was able to send us all her notes and initial thoughts of the season's biggest shows: Marchesa, Naeem Khan and more. Sadly, the week's end is near and so is Lindsay's tenure as our insider on the ground. To finish the week right, she sent her last dispatch from the Harper's Bazaar Icons Party, where sightings of Mariah Carey, Bella and Gigi Hadid and Katy Perry's outfits were just as exciting as some of the looks walking down the catwalks.

For those obsessed with red carpet dress predictions, look no further than Marchesa spring 2016. Out of 34 gorgeous, ethereal yet gothic looks, many will surely be pulled and custom-fit for Hollywood's finest this year. "Marchesa is one of the most requested designers from celebrities for awards season," said fashion expert Lindsay Albanese, who also moonlights as E! Style Collective's eyes and ears on the Nyfw ground. From stars like Christina Hendricks and AnnaSophia Robb to the handful of kids sitting front row ("You always wonder who or what their parents do to receive such a desired spot," Lindsay said jokingly), all eyes were on the ornate gowns, feather detailing and sultry...

Your next party dress has arrived, courtesy of Naeem Khan spring 2016. Sure, flowing, chiffon dresses and hot-pink-to-peach ombré gowns may be too much for da club, but sequined frocks and a gunmetal fringe mini are elevated options for your next jaunt to Vegas (read: put down the bandage dress!). Although the renowned designer is known for his glamorous red-carpet wares, it was the versatility of the line that really did it for us—and most likely the celebs attending the show (Kat Graham, we're looking at you). "There was everything from fluid chiffon gowns to bedazzled caftans," described our style expert on the ground, Lindsay Albanese. The show seemed to convey the...

In usual Badgley Mischka fashion, the runway was aflutter in drape-y fabrics with bridal-like attention to detail. "The collection has a classic and sensual sensibility," said celeb stylist Lindsay Albanese. With matching tweed sets in pastel hues and gauzy skirts also in lightened shades, the collection had Lindsay feeling nostalgic for old school elegance. "There were actually quite a few wearable pieces that felt casual yet luxe," she said. Silk blouses like one in white with a white silk choker and one in peach with draping and a peplum halfway around the waist could easily be dressed up or down. "I could see myself wearing the blouses with a pair of distressed denim," shared the...

If the end of summer didn't already inspire major wanderlust, Reem Acra's spring collection will. The designer showed her latest line in industrial midtown Manhattan, but vibrant fabrics, embellished gowns and patterned headscarves could've made us think otherwise. "The collection made me think of Indian royalty," said celeb stylist Lindsay Albanese. "It made me think of all the countries I have yet to visit. The collection really transported you. It epitomized global glamour." Sure, you probably wouldn't wear these pieces to run errands, but what the collection lacks in casual wearability, it surely makes up for in unique vision—something often missing from typical ready-to-wear...

Truth: Multifunctional fashion will never go out of style.
