And today, the couple have 14 happy years together.The couple have three children: the son of William Wolf Howe (2009) and the twins - Violet Mun Howie, Knox Blue Howie (2015).
Sarah Shahi Style
If an oriental blood flows in a woman, then she is necessarily the standard of grace and chastity. And if it comes from a cocktail from the east and the west, as in the case of Sarah, then there is a game of contrasts here: modesty struggles with seductiveness, bright images with muffled ones. Appearing at presentations, festivals and other celebrity get-togethers, Sarah Shahi always shows outfits, vividly reflecting her character, built on the confluence of two different cultures - Eastern and Western European.
We start the review with a very simple image, which Sarah demonstrated in 2013 at a press conference on the series "In Field of View", held at the Comic-Con Festival in San Diego. Although dark colors dominate here, the ensemble looks very refreshing. Make up his spectacular top with a juicy floral print, black leather pants, skinny and suede coral sandals on a small heel and with straps in the ankle. All elements of the costume are very well in tune with each other, since each detail has something in common with the other. So, the coral color of the sandals is repeated on the print of the top, the top itself has leather trim inlays that echoes the material of the trousers. And, finally, even such an accessory, like a watch, has gold details, and this is the intersection with a zipper top, made in gold.
Another illustrative image of the actress showed in the same place, but a year later. The dress is simple, although it is designed in impeccable style: a dark blue top with thin straps, a black midi skirt with a straight cut on the zipper in front and in the middle (from the top to the bottom edge), black pumps with open sides on a low heel. All selected parts of this toilet are very simple in themselves, and together they create a very respectable outfit.
In this image, Sarah chose a very natural make-up, even styling is as simple as possible - loose curls combed perfectly smoothly and just fall on her shoulders. The overall simplicity of the composition allows the actress to be free in the choice of jewelry: here we see both gold and silver, and the brilliance of stones on the rings. But the dark nail polish on short nails is almost a necessary detail here: so all these rings look much more appropriate, such a manicure as if gives these jewels a worthy setting.
But the party in honor of the 25th anniversary of the popular men's magazine Sarah visited in the very shoes that we saw in the previous photo. The entire outfit of the actress was even more natural, modest, but this only more attractive. See for yourself: elegant classic dress-case in black, length - below the knee. It is on wide shoulder straps, but it has a rather spacious square neckline, so that the curls falling on the shoulders (which, by the way, this time are not even straightened, but simply dried and laid in their natural form) cover these straps, creating the illusion of a more frank dress .
Such visual tricks always attract the attention of others! In addition to the natural hairstyles, we again see a similar make-up, but Sarah chose a bright manicure again, and again it is absolutely true: on her hands with such a manicure both expensive watches and a luxurious ring look decent, and this charming clutch Sarah decided to complete .
Next, we consider a more frank and no less seductive outfit. At one of the New York film festivals, Sarah Shahi demonstrated a delightful leather dress-case of chocolate color, sleeveless, knee-length, with a deep V-neckline. High-heeled suede court shoes are the perfect party for such a dress. The ensemble is completed with a milky-colored clutch ensemble, which, by the way, we observed in the previous image.So, Sarah not only teaches us to make amazing outfits, but also to transfer the same elements from one ensemble to another.
At the end of this bow, I would like to say that Sarah always tries to maintain a balance, so in such a bright image she almost refused jewelry (only two rings, no bracelets or necklaces), and her hair was neatly collected from behind. Dark nail polish (this time - in the tone of the dress) - a constant sign of exceptional taste and style of Sarah.
For animalistic prints in the wardrobe of the actress and model Shahi, too, there is a place. Consider an elegant summer dress in the floor colors "under the zebra." Sarah dilutes the dull black and white glitter with shiny accessories: the silvery play of the shoes and bracelet is enhanced by the pearl shine of the earrings and the ring.
"How to wear a frank neckline?", - you ask. “Very carefully!” The following illustrative outfit from Sarah Shahi will answer you with a vivid example. Want to add a little frankness to your evening dress? You are welcome! But let then the length of the dress will be in the floor, the sleeves are long, the fabric of pastel scale, matte, gently falling. And one more important tip: no decorations and brilliant details, otherwise you risk to vulgarize the image, to make it cheap, vulgar.
Sometimes even such feminine ladies like Sarah Shahi want a bit of brutality. And then such cute images are born, in which the dress is next to coarse shoes. By the way, such an ensemble is not easy to build successfully either. Here, it seems, everything is clear: Sarah chose the most closed dress. But! It is necessary to change its color, material - and the image becomes dull, similar to the veil. But Sarah's impeccable taste helped her to choose the right color and texture. And this dress, playing with light from spotlights aimed at Sarah, with each step the actress acquires different shades: it can be olive or even khaki, which justifies the presence of coarse shoes in the ensemble - a little military in women's clothes, today it is still relevant.
Again, an example of the balance between sexuality and chastity in dress. Sarah has a little black dress that is above the knee's length, it has open shoulders, and indeed a fairly frank cut. It is important to note that in this dress one very good rule: if the dress is rather short and open, its cut should be free in the hips and tight in the upper part of the body. Such proportions are better emphasized and decorated with any shape, and yet such a silhouette will never look gone. This image again demonstrates the absence of excessive jewelry and bright makeup - everything is very natural.
For all lovers of the weekend trouser ensembles, I want to make out one of these images from Sarah Shahi. This is a very bright suit, composed of straight satin pink trousers, black lacquered boats, a club jacket trimmed with silver sequins and a weighty clutch with a striking geometric pattern. Another important detail in the background is a simple white top. He is worn under his jacket and must fill in his trousers. This outfit is appropriate at any party.
And the next image is appropriate at any time of the day and on any occasion. This is a great combination of hard, soft and translucent materials, black, yellow, white and gold. Again, Sarah shows several trends in one outfit at once: black lace, a combination of white and gold, a pencil skirt.
But, of course, as a true woman, most often Sarah Shahi appears on social events in a dress. It can be elegant or luxurious, rustic or reminiscent of the origin of the actress and model. But it is always a very effective and feminine outfit. And all fashionistas prone to the romantic style of dressing should learn from the star of the TV screen!
