A Lucky Night

(LOS ANGELES) A bevy of young Hollywood beauties and industry gurus including Lauren Conrad, Rachel Bilson, Joy Bryant, Mandy Moore, Kristen Bell, Anna Faris, Katie Cassidy, Jordana Brewster, Marlien Rentmeester, Elise Loehnen, Booth Moore, George Kotsiopoulos, George Blodwell, Magda Berliner, Hillary Kerr and Katherine Power poured into Bar Marmont on Tuesday night to toast Lucky Magazine and Madewell as they celebrated the last stop on their national denim tour.

"There's a nice dovetail between the aesthetic of Madewell and the Lucky reader. It's a very editorial brand that we love to support, especially since Gigi Guerra, who is the brand's ambassador, used to be a Lucky editor for years!" Loehnen explained. "Marlien and I are both obsessed with the Rail Straight jeans...we both have them on tonight in black, in the same size!" Glancing at Guerra across the room, Rentmeester also shared, "Gigi is actually wearing one of the pieces I'm currently coveting....a cropped motorcycle jacket in a black jersey that you can wear with anything. I'm on the waiting list for it!"

Chiming in on the Madewell love, Brewster enthused, "I absolutely love Madewell. It's definitely more of an affordable brand, and all of their pieces are cut very well. I have a long tunic that I wear almost every day. I live in L.A., but I grew up in New York, so I feel like Madewell is a good mix of both coasts, and that's not easy to do!"

Conrad, who just debuted her new affordable clothing line at Kohl's earlier this month, mingled with friends near the bar, raved about her line's recent success and illustrated the art of sensible styling by mixing a Madewell miniskirt with a blazer from her own line and a simple blouse from Zara. "I like to read Lucky because it's about wearable fashion. They put together outfits and make it very simple and accessible, which is nice. It took me about five minutes to put my look together tonight, so I'm getting better at this!"

True to form, Bilson, who is currently trying her hand as a fashion columnist at InStyle, offered a few styling pointers of her own to interested onlookers, "I always say, try everything once.The most important key to finding your personal style is to always be comfortable, find some basic staples and get some great accessories!"
