Back-to-School Celebrity Style Inspiration

Get cool ideas for your own fall outfits by rocking this year’s biggest trends just like your favorite celebs!

 

Metallic Sparkle

While Glee’s Rachel may not win any best-dressed awards at William McKinley high school, Lea Michele proves that she definitely knows a thing or two about style off set. You’ll never go wrong with an eye-catching metallic jacket like this one; rock it for any occasion where you want to impress, from a big class presentation to an after-school study date.

 

Bright Tribal

From cropped tees to flirty dresses, bright tribal prints are everywhere this season—and Ashley Tisdale’s take on fall’s hottest trend shows just how versatile it can be! Channel her style for Homecoming by rocking a similar shimmery mini with nude heels and glowing skin.

 

Wedge Sneakers

Willow Smith’s pumped-up kicks are the ideal combo of sporty and chic. With sneakers like these, dressing casual has never looked so glam!

 

Mixing Prints

Emma Watson has the magic touch when it comes to navigating the tricky territory of mixing patterns. For back-to-school style, it’s all about keeping things versatile—and that’s why we’re head-over-heels with Emma’s vintage-inspired look. Take a cue from this style star and try pairing floral prints with geometric patterns to add some fun to your fall wardrobe!

 

Peplum

Victoria Justice’s peplum top is a little bit sweet and a whole lot of fun. With a tucked-in waist and ruffled hem, this silhouette gives you an instant hourglass figure. Pair it with your hottest skinnies, like Vic did here, or wear it with a body-con skirt for a back-to-school bash!

 

Neon and Neutral

Seventeen’s West Coast Fashion Correspondent Kylie Jenner proves that sometimes, all you need to pull together the perfect look is a pair of attention-grabbing pants. Complement bright bottoms like these with a classic white tee to complete the breezy-chic look.

 

Denim on Denim

Glee star Jenna Ushkowitz is no stranger to high school fashion or denim trends (she just launched her own line for Wall Flower Jeans). Snag her laid-back look by pairing a chambray shirt with black jean shorts, and you’re sure to earn high marks in the style department.

 

Bright Denim

Zendaya Coleman definitely knows how to Shake It Up on the red carpet. Her fun purple jeans, classic graphic tee, and fitted black blazer are polished, yet casual—a perfect combination for the first day of school!

 

Studded Shoe

Move over ballet flats and loafers — there’s a new trendy shoe in town! Studded oxfords are the ultimate in rockstar footwear (well, studded boots might trump those) and they’re an instant accessory that doesn’t take time to put on. If edgy is the vibe you’re going for, steal Alexa Chung’s black skinny pants and a bomber jacket combo. Leave it to those supermodels to always look stylish and effortless!

Sweater Dress

You know what makes Katy feel like a Teenage Dream? Rocking something comfortable on her day off! All those tight, tiny dresses have got to get a little tiresome, right? A long sweatshirt worn over tights or leggings is just right for class, and then maybe a date later. After all, if you’re looking for Firework to happen between you and your guy, you are not going to want to be uncomfortable!

Lace Top

Selena’s shirt top is pretty and versatile! Pair it with tailored shorts and cutout heels like the Biebs’ main squeeze did here, or throw in on over a burnout tank and faded skinny jeans for a more relaxed vibe.

Boho Scarf

This is the perfect look to attract a hottie — and Blake should know — she’s snagged everyone from Penn to Ryan! An oversized scarf in a paisley or tribal print stands out and looks trendy, without trying too hard. Pair it with a menswear inspired fedora, patterned tights, and a flirty skirt. Then, wait for the guys to flock…

 

 

Harem Pants

This might seem like one of those trends that’s hard to wear, but it’s actually not! As long as your pants are more tailored towards the ankle, you won’t end up looking like you’re rocking PJ’s — we promise. Try the look with pumps to make it more dressy, like Jessica Stroup did here, and fabrics with a little sheen to them look more luxe.

Feather Accessories

Feather earrings, hair extensions, shirt strings — wherever you look, there’s a celeb showing off this indie-inspired flair! If you don’t want to be tamed like Miley, get involved with feathers! Hers look so cute hanging from a sheer linen shirt.

Floral Dress

Jessica Lowndes’ outfit is the perfect thing to wear when seasons are changing. Her floral dress still embraces summer fun, but the navy booties give this look an edge and hint towards fall. Style your hair in half up, half down, loose waves and you’re ready to take on school!

Boyfriend Blazer

Knit beanie? Check. Vintage looking oxfords? Check. Boyfriend? Ummm, her next song will probably spill all, but boyfriend blazer? Check! Taylor hits all the fashion high notes with this casual, yet, sophisticated number.

Pleated Skirt

There’s nothing Gritty about this outfit! Hailee’s pleated skirt and short navy jacket look is girly-meets-grownup glamour at its best!

Lightweight Cardi

Even Pretty Little Liars know layers are key when it comes to the fall — one minute it’s warm and the next it’s chilly! Ashley Benson rocks her black cardi over leather leggings and a silky white top, but it’s a good idea to stash a few of these in your locker or bag, to have just in case the weather changes last minute.

Cropped Jean Jacket

Emma Roberts proves you can totally mix denim trends by sporting a light jean jacket, dark skinnies, and neutral belt and shoes! This look can take you from class, to lunch, to meetings in style!

Met Ball 2012: Hits and misses

See all the glitz and glam from the red carpet.

Carey Mulligan was a fashion hit in a custom two-tone gold-and-silver Prada halter dress covered with paillettes. With such a busy dress she kept her hair and make-up simple and accessories to a minimum, while also proudly showing off her wedding ring.

Backless dresses were very popular on the red carpet. And it was the perfect style for Karolina Kurkova, Emily Blunt, Cameron Diaz and Renée Zellweger to pose it up a storm.

Lea Michele, Gisele Bündchen and Lana Del Rey bought the glitz to the red carpet with sequin dresses.

Marion Cotillard and Rooney Mara showed how you can do lace well.

Although Chloë Sevigny is known for her quirky style, it was surprising to see Elizabeth Banks’ style choice Banks who made a surprise style choice as she rocked a Mary Katrantzou dress. Both ladies were looking very cool.

Kate Bosworth wowed in Prada, while Mary-Kate Olsen and Rihanna both opted for full-length gowns.

Mary-Kate Olsen

Sofia Vergara, Camilla Belle, and Gwyneth Paltrow looked simply stunning in silver but the usually stylish Dakota Fanning failed to wow in her Louis Vuitton gown.

Solange Knowles, January Jones and Emma Roberts stepped into spring with their varying shades of yellow.

Red has proved to be a popular shade for red carpet events this year. But while Emma Stone and Hilary Swank got it very right we’re not too keen on the shapeless dresses worn by Kirsten Dunst and Jamie King.

Jessica Biel worked a plunging deep V-neckline satin dress with jade green stone embellishments while Sarah Jessica Parker covered up in this floral print dress from Valentino.

Red Jeans

Jessica Alba put a modern spin on her off-duty boots, T and blazer look by eschewing a blue jean and opting for a tomato red instead.

Lily Collins proved that even casual-casual can look smart enough for dinner at a swank LA eaterie if your jeans are on-trend.

For a recent night at the theatre, Doctor Who actress Karen Gillan slipped into these scarlet trews.

This wasn’t the first time we snapped Mollie King out and about in these plum-hued skinnies by Firetrap – and no wonder. They’re hot!

Bandmate Frankie Sandford, meanwhile, favours the spray-on burgundy look.

Cher Lloyd erred on the side of coral when she arrived at the BBC Radio One studios for a recent appearance.

This cropped red jean, leopard-print bag and leather jacket ensemble that we spotted on Nicky Hilton in October was a masterclass in how to rev up old wardrobe favourite.

The trend hasn’t escaped Hollywood’s notice, either. Amanda Seyfried wore her red jeans – smartened up with a button down-vest and heels – to an LA junket for her film In Time.

Young hipster Shenae Grimes put a grungy spin on her red skinnies with a band T and a leather jacket at the launch of Just Dance 3.

Trust the ever-fashion forward Fearne Cotton to be one of the leaders of this style pack – she was wearing her red jeans as far back as July 2011!

SJP pushed the trend on in this luxe snake-print pair.

Emma Roberts remains high on our style radar – and it’s on-the-button street style looks like this red denim one that that are keeping her there.

Our Spidey (style) senses went into overdrive when we spotted Emma Stone out and about in NY in this hot pair of red denims. Plus, not only had she accessorised them with the It-bag du jour – the Lanvin JL bowling bag – but she was also toting another piece of arm candy we would love to get our hands on: boyfriend Andrew Garfield. Sigh.

Max fashion points go to consummate style maven Vanessa Paradis for putting a luxe twist on the trend and taking it to the red carpet.

Never one to shy away from a tricksy trend, Rachel Bilson secured a spot on our fashometer in these printed tomato numbers paired with a cute cable knit sweater and biker boots.

Back-to-School Celebrity Style Inspiration

Get outfit ideas for your own fall looks by checking out how your favorite celebs are wearing this year’s biggest trends!

Boho Scarf

This is the perfect look to attract a hottie — and Blake should know — she’s snagged everyone from Penn to Leo! An oversized scarf in a paisley or tribal print stands out and looks trendy, without trying too hard. Pair it with a menswear inspired fedora, patterned tights, and a flirty skirt. Then, wait for the guys to flock…

A Cool Cape

Lea Michelle looks cozy (and slightly incognito!) in her fashion-forward cape. The jacket with slits for sleeves looks chic paired with jeans and flats, but it’s also really useful when you’re running late in the morning and can’t figure out a cute outfit to wear under it! Just make sure the bottom half of your ensemble is fitted like this Gleek’s — you don’t want to look too boxy!

Lace Top

Selena’s shirt top is pretty and versatile! Pair it with tailored shorts and cutout heels like the Biebs’ main squeeze did here, or throw in on over a burnout tank and faded skinny jeans for a more relaxed vibe.

Studded Shoe

Move over ballet flats and loafers — there’s a new trendy shoe in town! Studded oxfords are the ultimate in rockstar footwear (well, studded boots might trump those) and they’re an instant accessory that doesn’t take time to put on. If edgy is the vibe you’re going for, steal Alexa Chung’s black skinny pants and a bomber jacket combo. Leave it to those supermodels to always look stylish and effortless!

Sweater Dress

You know what makes Katy feel like a Teenage Dream? Rocking something comfortable on her day off! All those tight, tiny dresses have got to get a little tiresome, right? A long sweatshirt worn over tights or leggings is just right for class, and then maybe a date later. After all, if you’re looking for Firework to happen between you and your guy, you are not going to want to be uncomfortable!

Lightweight Cardi

Even Pretty Little Liars know layers are key when it comes to the fall — one minute it’s warm and the next it’s chilly! Ashley Benson rocks her black cardi over leather leggings and a silky white top, but it’s a good idea to stash a few of these in your locker or bag, to have just in case the weather changes last minute.

Cropped Jean Jacket

Emma Roberts proves you can totally mix denim trends by sporting a light jean jacket, dark skinnies, and neutral belt and shoes! This look can take you from class, to lunch, to meetings in style!

Tap Shorts

Seventeen cover girl, Emma Watson, is perfectly preppy in ivory lace tap shorts, a blush blazer and black skinny tie! Who says only boys can rock this neck accessory? Take a fashion cue from Harry Potter’s heroine and have fun with your 1st day look!

Pleated Skirt

There’s nothing Gritty about this outfit! Hailee’s pleated skirt and short navy jacket look is girly-meets-grownup glamour at its best!

Floral Dress

Jessica Lowndes’ outfit is the perfect thing to wear when seasons are changing. Her floral dress still embraces summer fun, but the navy booties give this look an edge and hint towards fall. Style your hair in half up, half down, loose waves and you’re ready to take on school!

Harem Pants

This might seem like one of those trends that’s hard to wear, but it’s actually not! As long as your pants are more tailored towards the ankle, you won’t end up looking like you’re rocking PJ’s — we promise. Try the look with pumps to make it more dressy, like Jessica Stroup did here, and fabrics with a little sheen to them look more luxe.

Feather Accessories

Feather earrings, hair extensions, shirt strings — wherever you look, there’s a celeb showing off this indie-inspired flair! If you don’t want to be tamed like Miley, get involved with feathers! Hers look so cute hanging from a sheer linen shirt.

Boyfriend Blazer

Knit beanie? Check. Vintage looking oxfords? Check. Boyfriend? Ummm, her next song will probably spill all, but boyfriend blazer? Check! Taylor hits all the fashion high notes with this casual, yet, sophisticated number.

Who Wore It Best?

Olivia Palermo VS Victoria Beckham

For a screening of new movie The Ledge a couple of weeks ago, Olivia Palermo pulled back her hair and popped on this zesty Victoria Beckham design with a eclectic choice of accessories: embellished brass cuff, hot pink petal clutch and leopard print heels.


Whenever we see a Victoria Beckham dress on a celeb, though, it’s bound to have been worn before – by the designer herself. Well, you would, wouldn’t you?! VB gave this beauty its first public outing back in November, when she took it out to dinner along with her favourite Victoria bag.

WINNER: There’s nothing in it when you’re just looking at two gorgeous ladies in a gorgeous dress – so it’s Posh’s flawlessly sleek accessorising that nudges her into the top spot.

Kate Middleton vs Sarah Jessica Parker

Kate Middleton‘s love affair with Alexander McQueen is about as well-documented as it gets. So we couldn’t help but feel that this cable-knit, sailor-style dress was a sartorially spot-on choice as part of her Canada tour wardrobe.

…It also fits with the austerity drive too, as it’s not a new-season design. In fact, Sarah Jessica Parker wore the same dress in navy (along with a punchy pair of red mules and contrasting tan clutch) to celebrate her husband Matthew Broderick being awarded a star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame all the way back in 2006.

WINNER: We can’t help but feel that Kate’s take on this dress is a little uninspired. SJP edges it thanks to her fearless shoe choice.

Olivia Palermo vs Elen Rivas


Just when we thought Olivia Palermo couldn’t get any cooler, she shows up on the front row of a Couture show in Paris wearing a stunning lampshade dress from Zara – yes, it’s from the high street! – accessorised to the hilt with feathers and bling. Bravo!

Unfortunately for Elen Rivas, the very same day that Olivia was styling it up in the fashion capital she was papped wearing exactly the same design – in with a bad pose and with unfortunate rogue bra strap on the loose. We do rate her candy-coloured peeptoes, though.

WINNER: Olivia’s super-polished take on this dress earns her a no-contest win.

Jessica Szohr V Irina Shayk

Gossip Girl star Jessica Szohr looked cute as a button when she wore this beachy Raquel Allegra tie-dye maxi dress with a bouffant ponytail and flat sandals to an event promoting So.Be drinks.

We wonder whether Ronaldo’s squeeze, Irina Shayk, was paying attention? Just a few days later, we spotted the model wearing exactly the same dress, albeit cinched in with a silver belt and paired with a boxy white handbag and black gladiator sandals.

WINNER: Both girls have put their own stamp on this dress, but it’s Jessica’s easy, breezy summer style that does it for us.

Paris Hilton V Katie Price

Talk about a blast from the past! Paris Hilton wore this blue asymmetric Brian Lichtenberg dress to the Fox Reality Awards back in 2009, accentuating its shape with a sculptural up-do.

Katie Price probably thought enough water had passed under the fashion bridge to get away with wearing the same design – albeit in red, and with loose hair – to the Terrence Higgins Trust Gala dinner a couple of weeks ago. But nothing gets past our eagle eyes, Katie!

WINNER: Paris’ sophisticated take on the look wins hands down for us – and we’re suckers for blonde on blue.

Emma Roberts vs Laura Bailey

It’s no secret that Emma Roberts is a Chanel devotee, so we weren’t surprised to see her on the front row of the label’s spring/summer 2011 catwalk show in this classic blue tweed dress with flirty feather trim in March.

Brit model Laura Bailey followed suit (well, dress), a few months later at the Royal Academy of Arts preview at Somerset House. Like Emma, she kept her blonde locks loose and opted for a neat clutch and closed-toe platform heels to finish.

WINNER: It’s a tough one, but we think Emma just pips Laura to the prize.

Diane Kruger vs Natalie Massenet

Diane Kruger caused quite the stir in this neon lace-panelled maxi dress with contrast belt at the Liaisons au Louvre event in Paris last month. The distinctive design is by hot new name-to-know Alessandra Rich.

…But eagle-eyed style watchers will have known that already, as Net-A-Porter founder Natalie Massenet – whose online boutique is championing the label – debuted it at the Royal Academy of Arts preview at Somerset House at the beginning of June.

WINNER: The nonchalent blonde waves, the strappy blush sandals, the micro-clutch… This is a triumph for Diane.

Christina Aguilera vs. Kristen Stewart

Christina Aguilera stepped out in this asymmetric lace Valentino cocktail dress – accessorised with her usual va-va-voom armoury of bombshell tresses, red lip, full-on tan and peeptoe heels – for the 2nd Annual Mary J Blige Honors Concert in New York last month.

Proving that it’s not what you wear, it’s the way that you wear it, Kristen Stewart wore exactly the same dress in a completely different way (messy up-do, closed-toe heels, natural skintone) for a screening of Welcome To The Rileys back in October 2010.

WINNER: Kristen’s demure take on this wins hands down for us. Sorry, Xtina!

Kate Middleton vs. Lydia Bright

Kate Middleton earned Reiss’ Shola dress a gazillion column inches when it was the first post-honeymoon look she was pictured in. Oh, and she also happened to be chatting to Michelle Obama at the time. Talk about a double whammy.

Pity, then, TOWIE‘s Lydia Bright, who was snapped just a week later in the same design as she did a spot of shopping in London.

WINNER: Oh, Lydia, honey. This was one battle you were never going to win – so why even try?

Ciara vs. Kylie Minogue

For Clive Davis’ Pre-Grammy Gala earlier this year, US singer Ciara ensured all eyes were on her by keeping the lacing on her gorgeous micro mini Emilio Pucci dress loose and pairing it with lashings of diamond accessories.

Kylie, meanwhile, took a more conservative approach when she wore the same dress to a theatre opening night last month; pulling it in tighter, and adding two actual feathers for a neat styling one-two.

WINNER: Ciara, there’s no denying that you look seriously hot, but Kylie and Pucci go together like Lagerfeld and Chanel. Kylie wins!

Kate Bosworth vs. Taylor Swift

No wonder Kate Bosworth looks so pleased with herself. This lust-worthy white lace dress, which she was snapped in out and about in Colorado a few weeks ago, is a £48 Topshop treasure. The actress made a monochrome statement by adding opaque tights and killer Mulberry boots.

…But Taylor Swift had already set the sartorial standard, pairing the dress with bare legs and, ingeniously, a black tulle underskirt and belt when she was spotted in it in London the week prior.

WINNER: Taylor’s only gone and done it – out-styled the style queen herself! Ms Swift, we salute you.

Olga Kurylenko vs. Nicky Hilton

Bond girl Olga Kurylenko snapped up this stunning silver Giorgio Armani cocktail dress with origami fan detailing before taking her place on the front row of the designer’s couture show in Paris earlier this year. Who can blame her? Simple black accessories finished off the look.

Fast forward four months, and Nicky Hilton put a different spin on the dress with a strict updo and coordinating silver shoes and jewellery at the 18th Annual Race To Erase MS gala in NYC.

WINNER: There really isn’t much in this one, but we’re handing it to Olga. This dress requires some smouldering and Nicky’s look is edging prim.

Cameron Diaz vs. Pippa Middleton

Back in 2009, Cameron Diaz teamed this hot red Alexander McQueen gown with vertiginous Salvatore Ferragamo heels and an up do for the Golden Globes – and won critical approval for her bared-back, sexed up style.

So who would’ve believed that, two years later, we’d see the same dress – albeit slightly modified – sashaying down the aisle at the most celebrated royal wedding in decades? Pippa Middleton is the most unlikely style crush to have come out of the occasion (we already loved The Queen, FYI).

WINNER: It has to be Pippa. Not only was the occasion momentous, but the rear view of her in this dress is now an internet phenomenon. Respect!

Rose McGowan vs. Kate Middleton

Rose McGowan dazzled in this hot pink Issa dress at this year’s SAG awards, styling it up Studio 54-style with sexy loose waves and a chunky cuff.

Kate Middleton‘s Issa obsession is well-documented, so it’s little wonder that she was also spotted rocking the same dress before she was a married woman. Kate paired hers with a black clutch bag, diamond earrings and, unsurprisingly, a more conservative neckline.

WINNER: Tough one. But this dress was made for turning heads, so it’s Rose’s out-and-out ‘look at me!’ take on it that wins out for us.

Katherine Jenkins vs. Brooklyn Decker

Katherine Jenkins loves a bit of Victoria Beckham, so we were pleased to see that this gorgeous caramel fitted dress (which features a zip full down the back) made the cut when she attended an event at the Royal Albert Hall in March.

The dress was also the dress of choice, however, for US starlet Brooklyn Decker, who wore it to Country Music Awards in Las Vegas. Check those curves!

WINNER: While it’s impossible to choose between the girls in the dress itself, Brooklyn just edges this one on account of her shoes – Katherine’s look a little clumpy and uninspired in comparison – and that divine, directional bob.

Abbie Cornish vs. Chelsea Clinton

Aussie actress Abbie Cornish played it safe on the red carpet at the premiere of her new film, Limitless, last month. You can’t go far wrong in an LBD – especially if it’s current season Lanvin. She kept the rest of her look understated with a black clutch and heels, and a classic gold watch.

Chelsea Clinton had exactly the same idea back in December – she wore the same dress for The Clinton Foundation’s Millennium Network Event in LA with thick black tights and, interestingly, even less jewellery than Cornish.

WINNER: Congrats, Abbie! We think this dress calls for bare legs to show it off to its full potential, so you’ve got it spot on.

Christine Bleakley vs. Zara Phillips

Christine Bleakley pulled out all the stops at the premiere of her film A Turtle’s Tale, rocking this leather-trimmed Burberry trench coat – which would set you back an eye-watering £1,895, fashion fans – with black jeans and V-cut shoe-boots by Christian Louboutin.

Not normally known for her fashion cred, royal yoof Zara Phillips impressively beat Bleakley to the punch by a week, debuting the very same coat with thick black opaque tights, strappy Burberry heels, shades and a beret to the Cheltenham festival.

WINNER: You’re always going to look great in a design like this, so it’s Zara’s military-inspired super-styling does it for us. Sorry, Christine!

Rosamund Pike vs. Alexa Chung

Talk about out of this world! Rosamund Pike snaffled this Christopher Kane galaxy-print dress back in January for the New York premiere of her new film, Barney’s Version, teaming it with a simple pair of black opaques, black heels and a red carpet-ready box clutch.

Trendsetter Alexa Chung was quick to hop on the extra-terrestrial bandwagon, rocking exactly the same look – right down to the mussed-up hair and black tights – to the NME Awards last month.

Winner: It’s near impossible to separate the two – but we’re handing this victory to Rosamund for getting into the spirit with that amazing orb ring.

Kate Beckinsale vs. Amanda Peet

Kate Beckinsale wore this Nina Ricci lace confection in pink to an LA screening of Nowhere Boy last September. Keeping her hair and make-up pared back, she teamed it with simple nude peeptoes and a bronze clutch to set off her California glow.

Almost exactly six months later, Amanda Peet rocked the white version to the Independent Spirit Awards – putting a wintery spin on it by adding sheer black polka-dot tights and black peeptoe Mary-Janes.

Winner: Kate’s relaxed, sunny take on this look wins hands down for us. Amanda’s harsh black accessories, though not awful, seem to detract from the prettiness of the dress.

Lindsay Lohan vs. Kelly Osbourne

This Alexander Wang denim and leather jacket has been a mainstay in Lindsay Lohan’s wardrobe for a couple of years. Here, she gives it another airing in LA with a trusty pair of leggings and white T, accessorised with teetering brown platforms, sunnies and a panama hat.

Kelly O had the same idea earlier this month, throwing on her Wang over a white T and black trousers – but upping the glam stakes into the bargain with Monroe-esque waves and a slick of red lipstick.

Winner: Lindsay just can’t compete with sheer fashion force of Kelly’s immaculate styling. Kelly wins!

Pixie Geldof vs. January Jones

Pixie Geldof went dotty at the House Of Holland show at London Fashion Week. Literally. Never one to do things by halves, she teamed her navy wide-leg Topshop trousers with a matching blouse  - and came off looking quite fabulous, actually.

Across the pond, January Jones dressed down her Topshop purchase with black boots, a denim jacket and a plain knit as she headed to her car in LA last week.

Winner: Controversial, we know, but Pixie has wowed us here. (Though to be fair to January, probably couldn’t look bad even if she tried.)

Kate Beckinsale vs. Kim Kardashian

At last year’s Cannes Film Fesitival, Kate Beckinsale looked every inch the movie goddess as she took to the red carpet in this elaborately-pleated Nina Ricci gown. Those glossy, honey waves and chandelier drop earrings are pure A-list.

Nine months down the line reality TV hottie Kim Kardashian had the same idea, wearing the gown to a Golden Globes after party – albeit with slightly more dramatic styling in the hair and make-up department.

Winner: Kate is blowing away all the competition this month! It’s a close call, but her more natural styling gives this stunning dress more room to shine.

Olivia Palermo vs. Chloe Green

If there’s a Topshop hero piece to be had, you can guarantee that Olivia’s going to be the girl to bag it. She – somewhat controversially, it has to be said – teamed this stand-out maxi skirt with a chunky jumper and tan belt to sit front row at the London Fashion Week spring/summer 2011 shows.

…But she has competition in the way of Chloe Green, whose papa actuallyownsTopshop – tough break, Olivia. Just a day later, she stole Olivia’s style thunder by wearing the same distinctive skirt with a faux fur-shouldered jacket and long-sleeved navy T.

Winner: It’s a victory for Chloe! We see where Olivia was going with this but, when it comes to the crunch, we just don’t think she pulled it off.

Brooklyn Decker vs. Tess Daly

Brooklyn Decker took to the red carpet in Germany for her flick Just Go With It in this showstopping split-leg purple jumpsuit by Max Mara, which she teamed with strappy coral heels and a dischevelled up-do. We don’t blame her for pulling out all the stops – co-star Jennifer Aniston was also in attendance…

Proving herself to be a bit of a Max Mara obsessive, Tess Daly wore the same design to this year’s Brit Awards (it’s one of a handful of Max Mara pieces she’s been seen in of late). Here, she added a Grecian twist with a silver arm cuff and plaits, plus closed-toe silver heels.

Winner: Brooklyn gets our vote. Such a strong design calls for pared-back styling, and we can’t get enough of that colour pop at the heel.

Cheryl Cole vs. January Jones

The Versace dress Cheryl wore for the National Television Awards just a couple of weeks ago had the best of both worlds: a conservatively chic front panel, and an über-sexy, ultra-revealing cut-out back.

But this dress had already had its A-list moment, worn by January Jones to a fashion industry party back in November last year.

Winner: January’s up-do really lets the detail of this dress shine through. A rare loss for Cheryl!

Katy Perry vs. Ashanti

It was an unusually tame look for quirk queen Katy Perry, but she still looked stunning in this floor-length, metallic print Issa gown at a charity benefit in December. Loving the side-swept locks, Katy.

But, just a month before, another pop princess had already debuted the very same dress. Ashanti sported hers on the red carpet of a New York awards ceremony, with a half-up, half-down ‘do.

Winner: Since both girls steered clear of heavy accessories, it’s the hair and make-up that will win this round – and Katy’s pink lips, smoky eyes and to-die-for beachy locks are the clear victors.

Nicole Richie vs. Ellen Pompeo

It’s pretty handy designing your own collection, because it means you get to wear exactly what you want all the time! Nicole Richie was doing just that way back in 2009, when she donned this sparkly Winter Kate number with black tights and YSL heels for a New Year’s Eve party in Las Vegas.

Exactly a year later, Grey’s Anatomy actress Ellen Pompeo got her hands on the same dress for another Vegas party. The way she wore it? With black tights and black heels, just like Nicole!

Winner: We’d have preferred to see both ladies sans tights, but nevertheless we reckon this gold beauty fits better with Nicole’s natural, boho aesthetic than with Ellen’s. She is the designer, after all…


What do you think?

Kerry Washington vs. Kate Middleton

Gorgeous actress Kerry Washington is famed for her ultra-pretty red carpet choices – and this creamy Temperley London dress was no exception.

But there’s more than one way to wear this piece, as Princess-to-be Kate Middleton proved last Christmas matching it with a traditional blazer and sheer tights.

Winner: If this were a hair contest, Kate would win hands down, but those dated sheer tights means she loses out to Kerry in the style stakes on this one.

Claire Danes vs. Jaime Winstone

We thought this nude, criss-cross gown couldn’t get any more gorgeous when we spotted it on Claire Danes at 2004′s Costume Institute Gala…

…until Jaime Winstone rocked it even better at last year’s BAFTAs with a retro hair ‘do and strong make-up.

Winner: Jaime’s bags of attitude and daring beauty look are what won the GLAMOUR.COM girls over this time.

Audrina Patridge vs. Khloe Kardashian

Tumbling curls and a single bracelet were all the accessories Hills star Audrina Patridge needed to rock this rich red Alexander McQueen gown on the red carpet for the series’ season 4 finale in 2008.

Fast forward to last month, and fellow reality TV star Khloe Kardashian dug the same dress out of the archives for the People’s Choice Awards, this time in light dove grey.

Winner: Khloe’s colour choice was pretty, but there’s no beating Audrina’s va-va-voom red.

The Hottest Actresses Who Won’t Go Nude

The Hottest Actresses Who Won’t Go Nude

Usually, nude scenes are a dime a dozen, but getting actresses in them isn’t easy- in fact, many refuse sex scenes outright! Here’s the list of the hottest celebs that, unfortunately, none of us will ever see nude, except for their (extremely) lucky hubbies.

Jessica Alba- “I don’t do nudity. I just don’t. Maybe that makes me a bad actress. Maybe I won’t get hired in some things. But I have too much anxiety.”

Jessica Simpson- “I will never do nudity. I don’t care how dark and intellectual the role could be, you know. I don’t care if I frickin’ could get an Oscar for it, I’m not going to do it.”

Kate Beckinsale- Apparently, Kate swore off nudity onscreen after her mother, TV actress Judy Loe went naked on TV, causing Kate harrassment at school. She doesn’t want her daughter to feel the same!

And no, ‘Underworld 2′ does not count no matter how much we wish it did.

Jennifer Garner- “I will not be taking it all off! Zero percent. No, thank you. The world deserves better. Not interested.”

Emma Roberts- “I don’t know that I’d do a full-on nude scene, ever.”

Well, plenty of time.

Rachel Bilson- “Movies can be sexy or sexual without showing things…It’s almost a deal breaker. (The Last Kiss) was rated R, and they like to put in nudity wherever they can, but I’m pretty strong willed and believe it can be avoided.”

We believe not! Well… We guess we do.

Kristin Kreuk- Nope. Nada. Nothing. Just… no.

Isla Fisher- “It is not like I have a problem with nudity but I didn’t think there was anything funny about seeing a woman’s nipple. I feel like if you have a female comic character and then you see her nipples, then she is no longer funny which is clearly wrong but that was my theory and that’s why I didn’t want to do it.”

And this is what the dude who played Borat comes home to. No wonder he could stoicly push past the wrestling scene.

Mandy Moore- “It would be completely uncomfortable to walk down the street and know that the person passing by had seen me without my clothes on. I’ve turned down several roles where the producers or directors or writers wouldn’t budge on that point.”

We wouldn’t feel anything weird about you. Promise.

Rachel Leigh Cook- “You won’t catch me taking my clothes off; I get cold easily. I have no problem with actors getting naked in movies, but taking my clothes off makes me uncomfortable. I’m very shy. I won’t do nudity, and no body-doubling to make it look like it’s me.”

At this point, there really is nothing to say.

Christina Hendricks- “Anytime someone talks about your figure constantly, you get nervous, you get really self-conscious. I was working my butt off on the show, and then all anyone was talking about was my body!”

But they need to BREATHE, Christina! BREATHE!!!

Olivia Munn- “It would never happen. I think there’s nothing wrong with Playboy – there’s nothing wrong with women who want to be in the magazine, if they’re comfortable being naked and showing everything. But I’m looking through it like, ‘Holy shit, that’s a lot of vadge.’ I mean, it’s filled with that stuff. There’s nothing wrong with it, it’s just not something I’d do.”

Reese Witherspoon- “If they (actresses) take their clothes off, they objectify themselves. I am flabbergasted by how many legitimate actresses do it.”

Megan Fox- “Ugh, never! That’s the last thing I want to see- what I look like having sex. It would take one shot of me not looking good and I would not be able to have sex ever again, because I would always just see myself looking like a hippo having sex. I can’t ever imagine myself doing nudity in a film. It lives forever, especially now, with the Internet. I just can’t. I just can’t.”

This girl looks absolutely stunning, and The Denim King loves the jeans she’s rocking out with. They’re a bit too baggy and could possibly be tighter, but HOT Girl regardless!

Olivia Wilde is Not Having a Good Day

Olivia Wilde, the star of Tron seemed pretty pissed off and not in a very good mood when she left Los Angeleus after grabbing a Coffee the other day.

Is there anything else we can really say? And what’s up with those ghetto looking shoes without laces?

Check out these pics from the recent TEXTILE event that went down in LA with Ashely and Mary Kate Olsen along with Emma Roberts.

Uh, seriously.. these pictures are straight out creepy.

Carmen Electra Spotted in LA Looking Very Different

It’s been a while since The Denim King heard anything from Carmen Electra. Finally, she reappears into the light of Los Angeles after doing some shopping. Carmen looks really different. Is it the make-up? Or some experimental cosmetic procedures? Who knows, she still looks good though, just not like she used to. Look at her face, still super cute, but this ain’t the same woman! What do you guys think?

Grecian is a trend that always works for a formal occasion like prom! Plus, donning a dress with an amazing jeweled neck like Kim’s means you don’t have to spend more money on accessories!

Nikki Reed

Who says you can’t rock feathers at prom? The Twilight beauty looked radiant in a plunging baby short dress with feather shoulders. Emmett would definitely approve!

Miranda Cosgrove

The iCarly star looks cute in a LND (little navy dress) and you have to give Miranda props for choosing a heel that’s not too high for hours of dancing — priorities ladies!

Leighton Meester

This year it’s all about the shoulders! A classic dress, like Leighton’s toga-inspired gown, gets a modern makeover with funky shoulder sprouts. It’s bold, but still understated — perfect for the feminine Blair Waldorf in you!

Anne Hathaway

Look mermaid chic in a sequin-scale gown like Anne’s. The strapless top flatters her shoulders, and the subdued sequins make her sparkle without being too flashy.

Kristen Bell

Show off toned arms with a maxi halter dress like Kristen Bell’s. Bonus! Because it’s so long, no one will be able to tell if you’re wearing flats (or even comfy sneakers!) instead of heels!

Kristen Stewart

Total Twi-hard? Copy Kristen’s New Moon premiere style and go for a strapless gown with a long, tulle bottom. Edward as your prom date is a must!

Michelle Trachtenberg

Go dark like Gossip Girl‘s resident bad girl in a short, navy dress. It’s not as obvious as the LBD, but just as chic, and this silhouette flatters your bust and legs!

Jordin Sparks

The little red dress is a classic prom look. A sweetheart neckline and flowy shape like Jordin’s enhance her curves and play up her bronze skin!

Amanda Bynes

The bandage dress is not for the weak of heart, but if you can rock it, it’s totally flattering and super-sexy. Try an unusual color, like Amanda’s magenta, for added flair.

Shanae Grimes

Lots of girls will be wearing solid colors, so stand out from the partying masses in cool stripes like Shenae’s!

Hilary Duff

Sure, sure, we know Hil wore this for a speakeasy party on an episode of Gossip Girl, but we’re totally digging this flapper-style retro look for prom night too.

Beyoncé

This black minidress somehow manages to make ruffles look edgy — quite a feat! Though you might want to make sure your prom dress is a wee bit longer than B’s — so you can sit down when you get you tired of dancing. Also try pairing a black dress with bright pumps to make your entire look more fun!

Lauren Conrad

Show off toned arms and legs in a short, sleeveless dress like LC’s. All-over sparkle in a dark color, like her hunter green, makes for a totally glam but still super-fun look!

Ashley Tisdale

Ashley channels her fashionista HSM character, Sharpay, in this silver, scalloped-edge dress. 17 Prom Tip: Pair metallics with nude or skin-tone shoes to make your legs look longer!

America Ferrera

America’s strapless style flatters her gorgeous shoulders and skinny waist!

Brittany Snow

You can never go wrong with a classic satin dress. Brittany pairs her pale gray one with a silver bag and heels for a “young Hollywood starlet” look. 17 Prom Tip: If you’re fair-skinned, pale colors may wash you out in pictures. Try a spray-on tanner to give yourself a little glow before the big day (just be careful not to go overboard)!

Leona Lewis

Leona’s got that X Factor in this cotton-candy-colored dress, which is adorable and just right for prom!

Sophia Bush

Florals are always pretty for prom, but it’s Sophia’s studded belt that makes this dress sweet and edgy instead of basic.
