Amber Heard

I know you've been secretly awaiting a peek at Machete Kills, the sequel to 2010's violent campfest Machete, so here it is! Danny Trejo returns as the terrifying ex-Federale along with Michelle Rodriguez and Jessica Alba, only this time, they have company. Amber Heard, Mel Gibson, Sofia Vergara, Lady Gaga, Antonio Banderas, Cuba Gooding Jr., and Charlie "Carlos Estevez" Sheen have all joined up. This time, Machete is battling a dangerous arms dealer who wants to launch a weapon into space. If you think it can't get much campier than that plot, wait until you see Vergara's wardrobe.

This actually seems more like a fever dream that Charlie Sheen is having than a real movie, but I'll go with it. The trailer doesn't go much into plot description, but it does offer a mélange of cast members. I genuinely can't tell if this looks like the most hilarious movie ever, or the worst. Thoughts? Check out the trailer for Machete Kills, out Sept. 13, after the jump.

Amber Heard was spotted outside LA's Mr. Chow restaurant rocking a black flared leather skirt. Many leather skirts we see on celebs are usually either mini or pencil, so it's refreshing to see the actress in a new silhouette. Up top Amber wore a white silky tank and a black belt, and on bottom black satin platform pumps. Adding major dazzle to her nighttime look were a gold glittery Jimmy Choo Rebel bag ($950), this Adina Reyer hexagon necklace ($68), and red lipstick. If you don't yet own a black leather skirt, draw inspiration from Amber by adding a black flared leather skirt to your Fall mix. You can dress it up with heels at night, get cozy with a chunky sweater, and pair it with a button-down blouse and pumps for work.

We love a statement print and bold color, but Amber Heard's latest is a lesson in why keeping it simple can be so underrated. The actress styled up a perfect mix of essentials — white tee, black denim, and light layers — while strolling around NYC, but kept it interesting with a few key pieces. Read on to garner the styling wisdom — and shop our favorite piece — in Amber's understated street style.

• Amber's proportions are just right. A slouchy white t-shirt paired with skinny black denim feels casual, not messy. To pull off the same effortless style you'll want to look to tees that skim the body, then opt for fitted bottoms — avoid anything too oversize that will hide your shape completely.
• The on-trend factor in this look comes right from Amber's boots. Her black ankle-zip boots are not only a nod to cool-girl styling, they're a Fall essential that goes with everything. Accordingly, we've narrowed down a few of our favorite pairs to lend a little edge to your jeans and tees, or dresses and tights.
• Amber's look is also a lesson in elongating your stems. While black is a slimming color on its own, Amber's styling is doubly effective. By adding black booties to skinny black denim, the matching hues give the illusion that her legs keep going; they're not cut off at the ankle with a different colored boot or shoe.
