Diaz legged it in L.A. in a military jacket paired with skinny jeans and Pierre Hardy wedges. She added two bags, including a studded number from Marc Jacobs.

Hudson was effortlessly chic in a yellow print dress at a Los Angeles baby shower for Naomi Watts. The actress accentuated the look with a caramel-colored bag and wedges.

Olsen got down to business in towering Balenciaga shoes, skinny jeans and a simple button-down shirt. The enterprising twin was attending a product launch for The Suite Life stars Dylan and Cole Sprouse.

Hilary Swank

While elaborate outfits are often spotted at New York Fashion Week, Swank opted for basic blues at the Bryant Park tents. The actress’s fuss-free look paired straight-legged jeans and a long-sleeved T-shirt with a metallic belt and open-toe shoes.

Gwyneth Paltrow

Paltrow was one hot mama while strolling about town in Santa Monica. The actress wore skinny jeans, a ruffled blouse, sandals and shades—perfect accessories for the California sun.

America’s favorite Dreamgirl showed off her daytime-chic style at a MAC luncheon in Beverly Hills, where she was the guest of honor.

Ripa, in an Akiko tank dress, puts her best Christian Louboutin-sandled feet forward as she leaves the Live With Regis and Kelly studio in New York.

Celebrity maternity style

Styling tips from celebs who show us that just because you’re pregnant, doesn’t mean you can’t still be glamourous!

Hello, ladies! We have always raved and gushed about the best red carpet look or the latest trends and hairstyles. What about the glowing ladies who are expecting tiny tots? This time around, we are looking into the celebs that proved that you, too, could look great with a bulging belly!

Shorter!

Can’t stand the heat still? Want to show off your legs? Want something a little sexier? Yes, you can.

Heidi Klum has double the glow from the pregnancy and the dress.

Check out Victoria’s Secret Lily Aldridge in her white dress and some spanking hot red shoes!

Look at mogul-mom Kimora Lee Simmons in her champagne coloured mini dress. Who say pregnant means you can’t be sexy?

Bombshell Adrianna Lima was still sexy as ever pregnant wearing a loose mid-length dress.

Dress for comfort

When your belly grows and your breast lactates or when your back starts to ache, you are going to want to dress comfortable for events and outings. Fashion and important and as said by Scarlet Johansson, comfort is key.

Alyson Hannigan dressed herself comfortably in a bright cyan dress at an opening event.

Kourtney Kardashian, now pregnant with 2nd child, is still all about comfort when she was shopping and was spotted wearing a snuggly black coat for an event.

Pants

Afraid for a bad expose? Opt for pants, then. You don’t have to wear mom-jeans!

Keri Russell was on the set of ‘Girl In The Park” wearing a loose trousers and a snuggly top. See? You can look good pregnant with pants!

Hilary Duff was at her book signing event wearing a comfortable orange top and

Hilary Duff was at her book signing event wearing a comfortable orange top and cool leather pants.

Maxi-serenity

When you’re pregnant, your heat tolerance seem to decrease. Opt clothing with airflow material. Maxi-dress can still be worn, ladies. Just be more aware of the materials used.

Pregnant Kristin Cavallari was spotted in L.A. wearing a comfortable-looking strapless top.

Jessica Alba attended the 2011 Covenant House California Gala wearing a loosely fit white maxi dress.

All-Black Mission

So you are a little more conscious about your proportions. We don’t think you should be ashamed of your pregnant figure but if it is bothering you so much, go for a black combination. You’ll look great!

Heidi Klum looked stunning and beautiful in the elegant black full length dress which showed-off her bulging belly.

Check out Jennifer Garner in the black off shoulder dress!

Elizabeth Berkley, too, wore a snuggly black combination outfit paired with a red bag for contrast.

Actress Drew Barrymore was in an all-black combination with red lipstick for a touch of drama.

Looking official

Want to run some important errand but afraid to look bad in corporate outfits? Wear something smart-casual! Usually a blazer does the magic. Pair up a blazer with anything and voila! You’ll look official!

Look at Vanessa Lachey with her simple, loose dress paired with a beautiful blue blazer.

Gracieux

Like other women, sometimes pregnant ladies too, attend formal evening events and we want to look elegant and graceful instead of hormonal beings. Yes, we are telling you, you can.

Reese Witherspoon looked elegant, all right. She didn’t even forget to add a touch of risqué-risqué with that cutout section at her back.

Jessica Alba looks great in her champagne-gold toned dress with her hair up and simple make up.

Standing out!

Oh so you want to stand out too? No problem! Yes, you can! Just be sure to wear something of bright colour, or if not, something of different design.

Beyonce‘s bright, tangerine off-shoulder dress also stood out with her soft, side-ponytail.

Remember we said if you don’t want to wear something bright you should wear something different? Look at Heidi Klum‘s dramatic dress! If this type of dress is the chosen one, be careful of your steps, ladies!

It is a red carpet event, but Heidi Klum in that red dress will not have a camouflage effect! Look at her glow!

The Worst Fashion Trends of All Time

Popular styles may come and go, but some fashion trends stick out in our memory as particularly awful. Whether you wore these embarrassing trends yourself or merely enjoy laughing at outdated photos, we’re presenting the worst fashion trends of all time. Let us know which ones you find the most offensive. By Joanna Douglas, Shine Staff.

Shoulder pads
These sewn-in garment enhancements swept through the 1980s like a plague infecting every blouse, dress, and blazer. Alexis Colby, the fictional character played by Joan Collins on “Dynasty,” may be their reigning queen. Shoulder pads made a brief recent comeback thanks to Lady Gaga’s bizarre costumes, but overall they are still shunned.

Harem pants
We all made fun of MC Hammer’s parachute pants back in 1990, but in recent years everyone from Gwen Stefani to Heidi Klum have sworn by their drop-crotch pants. We think they look like you’re wearing a diaper.

Fannypacks
These unflattering waist pouches have always been a “fashion don’t” commonly associated with tourists. Occasionally celebrities like Rihanna will wear designer fannypacks, which seem even more absurd.

Ed Hardy
With fans like Jon Gosselin and the cast of “Jersey Shore” Ed Hardy gear acts sort of like a radar telling you who to avoid at all costs.

Bare midriff
Crop tops have been around since the ’60s and stars like Madonna got ladies exposing their tummies in the ’80s, but pop stars like Christina Aguilera rarely wore full-length shirts in the late ’90s and early ’00s. No wonder “8 minute abs” videos were so popular.

Saggy pants
Hip-hop artists in the ’90s started sagging and guys everywhere followed suit. Government officials have tried to ban sagging by law, but during the 2008 election Barack Obama said he felt it was a waste of time. “Having said that,” Obama told MTV, “brothers should pull up their pants. You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What’s wrong with that? Come on. Some people might…

Fancy track suits
Adidas warm ups are still considered classic, but the early 2000s was all about Juicy Couture. Some ladies preferred terry cloth, many were velour-loyalists, and others liked words written across their butts. You can thank Britney Spears, Paris Hilton, Madonna, Jennifer Lopez, Jessica Simpson, and Lindsay Lohan for the still-present sweatpants in public craze….

Trucker Hats
These foam front/mesh back baseball hats have been around forever, but we can thank Ashton Kutcher, Justin Timberlake, and Von Dutch for making them insanely popular in the early 2000s.

Furry boots
Rapper Flo Rida may have swooned over girls in the “boots with the fur,” but we think they make ordinary humans look like a Muppet. Or in Snooki’s case, part poodle.

Leisure suits
These 1970s suits are made of polyester and often have oversized collars, flared legs, and come in a variety of nauseating colors. Funny to look at in photos, terrifying if they ever make a comeback.

Scrunchies
In the late ’80s most girls had at least a dozen scrunchies in different fabrics (at least one was velvet) to match with different outfits. American Apparel has tried to revive them, but thankfully most women are now too ashamed to wear them in public.

Saggy pants
Hip-hop artists in the ’90s started sagging and guys everywhere followed suit. Government officials have tried to ban sagging by law, but during the 2008 election Barack Obama said he felt it was a waste of time. “Having said that,” Obama told MTV, “brothers should pull up their pants. You are walking by your mother, your grandmother, your underwear is showing. What’s wrong with that? Come on. Some people might…

Popped collars
Deliberately wearing an upturned collar was a style in the ’50s that made a huge resurgence in the ’80s thanks to “The Official Preppy Handbook.” In recent years, high school and college kids took to wearing multiple layers of colorful polos with popped collars, perhaps the worst incarnation to date.

Sneakers that exercise for you
Since the Kardashians would willingly endorse toilet paper (no, really, they have!) we’re not surprised they partnered with Skechers Shape Ups, the sneakers that supposedly tone your body as you walk. It didn’t take long for experts to confirm they’re not only a hoax, but they can actually damage your ankles.

Pacifiers
During the ’90s rave days, people sucked on colorful pacifiers like infants. Apparently this was to prevent teeth grinding when on drugs like Ecstasy, but soon there were pacifier necklaces rings and earrings too.

Clear bra straps
We know they’re clear, but we still see them and they look silly. Courtney Stodden wears them, so that’s reason enough to stop. Please go strapless or wear a garment that covers your bra straps so this trend can finally die.

Visible thongs
Combine the popularity of lowrise denim and thongs (thanks, SisQo) and stretchy colorful panties were poking out of jeans everywhere. Bum cleavage is typically not appreciated in public, so we were thrilled when high-rise jeans made a comeback.

Baby barrettes
These old school plastic Goody barrettes are adorable for kids under five, but in the ’90s Courtney Love and fellow riot grrrls inspired teens to adopt the juvenile accessory.

Gladiator sandals
Subtle straps are fine, but a few years ago Gladiator sandals were on steroids. Check out this Chanel pair on Mary-Kate Olsen. They would make for some tragic tan lines and blisters.

Baby backpacks
In “Clueless,” Alicia Silverstone’s character asks, “Do you prefer fashion victim or ensembly challenged?” We might ask her the same thing for rocking a teeny tiny furry backpack that holds nothing more than a wallet, cell phone, and lipstick.

2012 Oscar Parties

Hollywood’s hottest strut their stuff at this year’s star-studded Oscar parties.

Jennifer Lopez turned heads on the Oscars red carpet in a plunging, silver Zuhair Murad gown, but the diva extraordinaire looked even better at the annual Vanity Fair afterparty in yet another revealing Murad masterpiece. Luckily — at the post-ceremony soiree — J.Lo didn’t suffer a second slip. Her first frock may have showcased a bit too much skin, but her encore ensemble was utter perfection.

Tom Cruise and wife Katie Holmes — who debuted a new, bang-enhanced ‘do — partied the night away with Victoria “Posh Spice” Beckham and her hubby, soccer star/underwear model, David.

Also photographed entering the Vanity Fair fete was former Disney darling, Miley Cyrus, who channeled Old Hollywood in a glamorous Roberto Cavalli gown, chandelier earrings, ruby-red lips, and a classic coif.

No, this isn’t a mugshot. Last year’s Oscar co-host James Franco just looked like a vagrant at the Mercedes-Benz viewing party at Soho House in West Hollywood, CA.

Victoria’s Secret model Alessandra Ambrosio and reality “star” Kourtney Kardashian showed off their growing baby bumps at Elton John’s yearly shindig.

Tennis aces Serena and Venus Williams (both in Christiane King) hung out with fellow sports superstar, Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow.

“SNL’s” Jason Sudeikis was caught canoodling with his lady love, “Tron” hottie Olivia Wilde. That’s one lucky man!

Steve Martin and Martin Short made a Gwyneth Paltrow sandwich, not that she eats sandwiches … or eats anything solid for that matter.

Golden Globe winner Claire Danes (“Homeland”) looked like a delicious snowcone in her strawberry-hued Valentino dress.

Katy Perry — whose tired blue hairdo has got to go — sparkled in Blumarine, while Dita Von Teese shimmered in Jenny Packham.

Michael Douglas and his proud papa, Kirk, arrived in style at the VF festivities.

Kim opted for a gothic look in Alaia. Her sister, Kourtney, went Grecian in a Raoul gown, and both Kardashians nearly disappeared standing next to the super sexy Heidi Klum, who put them both to shame in her Versace mini and Louboutin pumps.

David Furnish and Elton John accessorized with their son, baby Zachary.

Miley clung to her boy toy, Liam Hemsworth, as they sashayed their way into Elton’s event.

What do you make of the strapless white Roberto Cavalli gown “Modern Family” minx Sofia Vergara wore to the Vanity Fair party? Hot or not?

Nina Dobrev (in J. Mendel) and her “Vampire Diaries” co-star/boyfriend Ian Somerhalder (in Armani) easily made for one of the evening’s most stylish couples!

Best Actor winner, Jean Dujardin (“The Artist”), looked sleepy, happy, and quite possibly buzzed next to his new trophy.

Party girls Cameron Diaz (in Victoria Beckham) and Kate Hudson (in vintage Versace) looked like they were having more fun than any other celebs in attendance at the VF fete. Perhaps the open bar had something to do with that.

Comedian Chris Rock caught up with his pal, 85-year-old Oscar winner Sidney Poitier (“Lilies of the Field”), who looked sharp in his tux.

We’re not feeling Katie’s bangs or Natalie’s dress, are you?

We’ll look past Gwen Stefani’s questionable frock (“I’m walking into spiderwebs… “), but we can’t forgive her for the catastrophic coif she sported at the Elton John party.

We’re not sure why or how, but former “High School Musical” hotties Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale somehow landed invites to Elton’s jamboree.

Is the bold color combo Rosario Dawson rocked working for you? We secretly love it.

Do you prefer the Giambattista Valli dress Emma Stone wore to the Oscars, or this one, which was designed by Chanel?

Gerard Bulter put his grubby paws on Jessica Chastain at the Vanity Fair party. She should know better than to mingle with the infamous ladies man.

Joan Collins looks great for 78, and Victoria Beckham looks grumpy for 37.

Brett Ratner was supposed to produce the 84th Academy Awards with Don Mischer, but was asked to step down after delivering disparaging remarks about gays and actress Olivia Munn. Why, then, would swimsuit model Kate Upton hang out with such a fool? Ick.

“Avatar” star Zoe Saldana channeled her inner “Dynasty” vixen in an ’80s-inspired Marios Schwab frock.

Busy Philipps was once again BFF Michelle Williams’ date for the evening. Love this dynamic duo!

“Transformers” star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley snuggled up to her man, action hero Jason Statham, at the bar.

Amy Adams looked terrified of Tim Tebow … and he looked either sunburned, embarrassed, or sauced.

Elizabeth Banks’ dress, designed by Chadwick Bell, was one of our absolute favorites. Thoughts?

Salma Hayek’s YSL dress was nothing to write home about. Her braid, however, was quite cute.

Elizabeth Olsen kept things relatively simple in an all-black ensemble from Christian Dior.

Also spotted in all-black was “Once Upon a Time” star Ginnifer Goodwin, who donned this fashion-forward getup.

Would you want to party with Miley and Kelly Osbourne?

Or, would you prefer to party with Zach Galifianakis, Rachael Harris, and Cheryl

“Modern Family’s” Julie Bowen got photobombed by Leslie Mann upon arriving at the VF party.

Bradley Cooper’s ‘stache … yay or nay?

Seth Rogen and Lauren Miller took advantage of the complimentary photo booth.

Ladies Night, featuring: Amy Adams, Jennifer Westfeldt, Claire Danes, and Paula Patton!

Natalie Portman and baby daddy Benjamin Millepied must have found a sitter for little Aleph, who was born back in June.

We didn’t think it was possible, but Shailene Woodley (“The Descendants”) looked even worse at the Vanity Fair party than she did on the Oscars red carpet.

From the neck up, Tina Fey looked better than ever thanks to a chic updo, but her Carolina Herrera gown was a bit baggy.

Do you think Tom instructs Katie to tilt her head in every picture in order for him to seem less petite?

Kate Beckinsale has never failed us … until last night in this seaweed-covered eyesore.

Gwyneth actually looked good next to Jane Fonda, whose dress was clearly inspired by the Ice Capades.

“Parks and Recreation” star Rashida Jones looked yummy in yellow. Mustard is one of this season’s hottest trends.

Cam changed into a Popsicle-hued Victoria Beckham-designed gown for the party circuit. Discuss!

Brooklyn Decker partied at Elton John’s soiree sans hubby, tennis star Andy Roddick, who was prepping for a tournament.

LOVE Patricia Clarkson. HATE her dress and shoe combo. So much.

Diane Kruger (“Inglourious Basterds”) vamped it up in a slinky red gown and high pony.

Chace Crawford could really use a new haircut. His suit, however, looked mighty fine.

Mary Steenburgen does not age! Her hubby, Ted Danson, does.

“227″ alum Regina King delivered some fierceness as she made her way into the star-studded Vanity Fair fete.

Can we all just agree that Jon Hamm and Jennifer Westfeldt are kinda the coolest couple in Hollywood? Because they are.

“Glee’s” Dianna Agron opted for a beachy, sun-kissed look for the Elton party, and it suited her well.

Agron’s co-stars, Ashley Fink and Chris Colfer, posed for this hilarious “candid” when photographers decided to invade their conversation.

Rachael Harris — who also looked lovely on the purple carpet at Saturday’s Independent Spirit Awards — delivered a second consecutive win, this time in vintage Lanvin.

Fran Drescher accessorized with her furry little friend, Pomeranian Ester.

Rachel Zoe looked alarmingly thin in a white maxi dress and faux fur wrap.

Abbie Cornish oozed elegance in a simple yet chic sheath and diamond accents.

Kate Bosworth usually looks like a hot mess on the red carpet, but we actually approve of this Prabal Gurung dress. Do you?

Rose McGowan flaunted her fab frame in a Paule Ka gown and unseen Sergio Rossi heels at Elton’s bash.

Yep, I’m showcasing the Williams sisters again. Why? Because I love them, and they had fun dressing in bold gowns, unlike so many of Hollywood’s uptight elitists.

Tiiiiiiiiiiiin roof, rusted.

What was Mena Suvari thinking?! It looks like she slathered herself in glue and rolled around in a pile of shredded Kleenex.

Minnie Driver reigned supreme in a champagne-colored gown and diamond baubles. Call us crazy, but we think she was one of the best-dressed beauties of the entire evening.

Emily Watson was all smiles upon arriving at the annual VF party in a black frock, curly ‘do, and layered necklaces.

Hottest F1 wives and girlfriends

Hottest F1 wives and girlfriends

Fast cars and hot grid girls are something that the F1 has always been known for.

However, the drivers and executives live in a different world, even when it comes to gorgeous women. Their influence allows them to pick up the cream of the crop, be it actresses, models or singers.

Half Argentinian and half Japanese, Jessica Michibata has both an unbelievable body and a gorgeous face. Jenson Button is a lucky man.

Nicole Scherzinger

The pop star turned actress is Lewis Hamilton’s beau, and is a serious stunner.

Cora Schumacher

This blonde bombshell is Ralf Schumacher’s wife. She found success as a model in her younger days.

Sexiest Victoria’s Secret Angels

Sexiest Victoria’s Secret Angels

Victoria’s Secret Angels – these are among some of the world’s beautiful women, as well as the sexiest and most envied. Once a year, they incur admiration, jealousy and lust by appearing on the Victoria’s Secret runway for the annual fashion show, decked in extraordinary underwear, a pair of even more jaw-dropping wings, and very little else.

No one gets the world’s united heart racing quite like these women, and although some may argue that they’re no more than glamourized sex objects, we think they’re a symbol of women at the top of their game and represent a fantasy that people are able to indulge in harmlessly, legally and within arm’s length. Beauty and fashion like the kind that Victoria’s Secret has brought to the world deserves to be celebrated in a huge way, and here, we’re joining in the party by bringing to you 15 of the hottest Angels in the brand’s history.

Pencil skirts: Look sharp in this season’s super-flattering style hero

All hail the revival of the pencil skirt – an elegant, figure-friendly trend that is banishing micro-minis to the back of wardrobes.

The slim-fitting garment – a time-honoured silhouette created by Christian Dior in the late Forties – dominated on the fashion week runways.

In a celebration of the feminine form, Chloe, Lanvin and Louis Vuitton took a trip down memory lane with various versions of the vintage classic.

And the pencil skirt is a draw with A-listers like Heidi Klum and Jennifer Lopez too.

The trendy garment provides a solid foundation for Autumn/Winter wardrobes.

It allows women to exude sexiness in a subtle way, and flatters all figures.

The secret’s in the shape, which adds curves to boyish frames but also makes the most of an hourglass silhouette by following and contouring the natural form.

But here are some pointers.

This season’s pencil skirt is sexy. To avoid looking too prim, leave the flats at home.

Instead, pair with heels, which will elongate the legs and create a slimmer silhouette.

For a more daring look, slip on a sheer blouse in a neutral colour. Take your cue from J LO (above), who preserved her modesty with oversized chest pockets.

For everyday use, team with something unstructured – try a loose textured piece, a casual, pocketed T-short or a silk vest like Heidi – or add oversized knitwear.

If you need to hide a belly, invest in a good pair of control pants to smooth lumps and bumps. Or try a loose-fitting vest top with a sequinned, waterfall jacket to draw attention away from the problem area. This is a great going out outfit.

For the office, tuck in a tailored sleeveless blouse and top with a sleek cardigan.

To take your pencil skirt into ultra modern territory, choose a shirt in a clashing colour and pair with a bright red lip, a la Emily Blunt.

Celebrities Styles 2011

Winter White coats

Instead of the usual gray, navy or black winter coat, consider white—like Zoe Saldana and Kate Beckinsale.

Katie Holmes’ Azzarro dress

When it comes to dressing to hide figure flaws (or what I call camoflauge dressing), the most common solution is to wear a long top over a fitted bottom. This solution not only works, but is the easiest to shop for. Long jackets, tunics, and leggings/skinny jeans/fitted pants can be found in every price range.

What I like about this dress is that it turns that proportion upside down. Here, the top is fitted and the bottom part is loose. Yet, it still works because the fitted part of the skirt hits a little above the waist (which is the slimmest part). I also like this cut because it highlights the upper part of a woman’s body.
Here are a few dresses to consider; but this look can easily be created with a slim fit striped tee shirt tucked into a full, high waisted skirt.

Cameron Diaz’ casual outfit

(Current Elliott jacket, Bottega Venetta bag)Cameron Diaz uses color to update a weekend date outfit. Try jeans in a pastel color, and pair it with a neutral jacket for a lets-meet-for-coffee date.

Emmys 2011 Red Carpet Roundup

Lights! Camera! Action! TV’s finest pulled out all the stops at the 2011 Emmy Awards, cranking up the glamour factor in red-hot gowns, sparkling creations, and Old Hollywood-inspired numbers.

Check out all the stars in the gallery below.

Red alert! Lea Michele trades Rachel Berry’s reindeer sweaters for a crimson Marchesa gown with statement shoulders, Manolo Blahnik heels, and jewelry from Lorraine Schwartz.

Talk about a hot mama! Dripping in vintage-inspired black and white diamond jewelry from Neil Lane, Julie Bowen dares to bare in a plunging V-neck silver and black lame embroidered gown from Oscar de la Renta’s Fall 2011 collection. A sleek side ponytail and snakeskin Judith Leiber Anna Velvet clutch give the ensemble a modern touch.

Christina Hendricks shimmers in Johanna Johnson’s custom-made Vintage heavy silk satin gown embellished with art-deco-inspired Swarovski crystals, glass, and seed beads. A silver Judith Leiber box clutch and Palladium Simon G diamond earrings provide extra glitz, while a teased ‘do lends a retro-glam effect.

One of the many stars opting for a splash of color, Sofia Vergara flaunts her famous curves in Vera Wang’s coral one-shouldered crepe gown with chiffon and tulle touches. Long locks, coral lipstick, an OFIRA cuff, and shoulder-grazing emerald, gold, and diamond Lorraine Schwartz earrings play a supporting role in her gorgeous look.

Roksanda Ilincic’s slinky blue gown and Fred Leighton diamonds transform Dianna Agron into a ravishing retro-inspired beauty.

No tracksuit here! Emmys host Jane Lynch wows in the first of her many David Meister Signature creations for the evening, a strapless aubergine chiffon gown with a ruched bodice. Lorraine Schwartz’s black and platinum multi-gem stone earrings, 20-carat ruby ring, and a stack of precious bangles get a “cheerio” from us.

Kate Winslet makes a bold statement in a red cap-sleeved Elie Saab design, which she pairs with a wavy up-do and Cartier jewelry.

Good Wife star Juliana Margulies switches things up with retro-inspired curls (watch your back, Dita Von Teese!), but keeps the rest of her ensemble simply-chic thanks to a strapless ivory silk gown from Giorgio Armani Privé. Transparent stones and iridescent paillettes give the sleek look a touch of sparkle, as do Palladium diamond studs.

Did Elisabeth Moss coordinate with her similarly styled Mad Men co-star Christina Hendricks? America’s favorite copywriter turns heads in an emebellished, champagne-hued Marchesa gown paired with romantic curls.

Minka Kelly works the midnight blue trend in an elegant Dior creation boasting demure lace sleeves. How angelic!

Wearing one of the top colors of the night, Katie Holmes dons a custom-made blue silk crepe cinched-waist dress from Calvin Klein. A high bun gives the look a playful edge.

Gwyneth Paltrow looks ab fab in her midriff-baring embroidered black lace Emilio Pucci gown. The actress, whose hair is long and sleek for the big night, reportedly tried two dresses before settling on this sexy number, which she accessorizes with $550,000 worth of black diamond jewelry from Neil Lane.

With her new pixie cut styled in retro finger waves, Evan Rachel Wood looks effortlessly glam in a black embroidered Elie Saab Fall 2011 gown with cap sleeves and a low back that exposed her tattoo. Black satin peep-toe pumps from Salvatore Ferragamo, a Judith Leiber clutch, and Fred Leighton jewelry add to the elegance.

So who is winner Melissa McCarthy wearing? Herself! The Mike & Molly star helped design her long-sleeved plum-hued gown, pairing it with a statement gold necklace, Judith Leiber Grand Duchess Rainbow miniaudiere, and loose waves. DIY or die!

Rocking a soft blow-out and smoky eyes, Clare Danes is a vision in electric blue thanks to Oscar de la Renta’s Resort 2012 strapless blue sequin embroidered gown and Irit Design jewelry.

Taking a cue from Dorothy, Martha Plimpton is the epitome of classic glamour in Zac Posen’s ruby sequin gown, which boasts a sexy sweetheart neckline and cap sleeves, one of the night’s big trends.

With her chestnut hair worn loose, Kristen Wiig goes monochromatic in a matching brown silk ombre gown from Zac Posen. Fred Leighton jewelry adds a splash of sparkle, while the gown’s deep V-neck cranks up the sex appeal.

Connie Britton’s strawberry blonde locks are a perfect complement to her russety red Maria Lucia Hohan strapless gown, accented with Lorraine Schwartz gold bangles and OFIRA gold and diamond strand earrings.

Padma Lakshmi works the metallic trend in a shimmering bronze satin Giorgio Armani Prive mermaid-style gown with a criss-cross neckline and a deep leg slit. A relaxed updo, Jimmy Choo’s strappy, crystal-adorned sandals, and jewelry from her own Padma Collection complete the bombshell look.

Arriving on the arm of husband John Krasinski, Emily Blunt stuns in an on-trend midnight-blue tulle gown with sequin and embroidered tulle ruffle details. The Elie Saab Fall 2011 Haute Couture number is paired with Kelly Locke’s pewter glazed anaconda clutch and Lorraine Schwartz jewelry.

Another fan of the midnight blue look, Christine Baranski opts for a silk faille Zac Posen dress with a double lapel. Love the bold red lip!

Va va voom! Kerry Washington is a screen siren in a strapless scarlet gown from Zuhair Murad featuring a shirred silk tulle skirt and pearl accents. Bonus points for the matching lipstick and 10-carat ruby ring from Lorraine Schwartz.

Julia Stiles channels classic Hollywood glamour in a strapless lavender-gray lace gown from Georges Hobeika’s Fall 2011 Couture collection, which she pairs with loose Veronica Lake-worthy waves.

Striped Bags & Striped Cropped Pants

Celebs Seen on the Scene Going On Stripe!

Kendra Wilkinson (H&M), January Jones (Prada), and Nicole Richie (Balenciaga)

Striped bags are another versatile accessory that goes practically anywhere with anything. Kendra’s nautical navy and white striped tote from H&M is not only on trend for the summer but excellent for storing books, magazines, sun tan lotion and sunglasses for some reading at the beach. January Jones smaller black and green striped bag makes it an easy grab-and-go purse for running errands or she can turn that Prada into chic for a luncheon with the girlfriends. I love for my bags to be so big that I can fit my entire life in them just like Nicole’s carry-all. Nothing says fit and fab like a trendy, striped, oversized bag to put all your gym clothes in.

Black and white vertical stripes on pants allows the eyes to move up and down, giving the illusion of slimmer leaner legs. And these pants being cropped adds a plus to this trend because it gives you the chance to show off your fabulous heels. When completing the outfit, stay away from prints. Keep it basic on top with blouses and shirts within the neutral color family like grays and creams, but don’t be afraid to be well-heeled with a pop of color. Red pumps will make a haute statement when paired with black and white striped crops.

As stated before, striped bags can go with practically everything. Take note that I said, “practically”. When carrying your striped shoulder bag refrain from wearing a striped shirt. When shopping for your stripped bottoms, keep in mind of the boldness and thickness of the black and white stripes, unless your personal style resembles Beetlejuice!

Celebs Seen on the Scene Strutting Their Stripes!

Everyone’s Wearing… 70s

Elle Macpherson

If you want people to pay attention, throwing on a yellow jumpsuit and styling it to the 70s hilt is a good way to go about it. Elle Macpherson helped her new reality TV show, Fashion Star, to hit international headlines when she was papped during filming in this flared mustard silk all-in-one and gold Lara Bohinc necklace.

Brooklyn Decker

For the German premiere of her film Just Go With It, Brooklyn Decker managed to achieve the seemingly unachievable – stealing in limelight from co-star Jennifer Aniston. Her secret? A show-stopping, split-leg purple jumpsuit by Max Mara worn, in true 70s style, without a bra.

Angela Lindvall

At the super-starry Christie’s Green Auction in NYC, model Angela Lindvall channelled 70s glamour in this black halterneck gown with silver sequin streaks.

Olivia Palermo

Never one to let a trend pass by untried, The Hills star Olivia Palermo wore this button-down peach Mango maxi dress with a tan belt to a fashion show thrown by the high street label in March.

Katie Holmes

A classic camel coat teamed with flared jeans, suede boots and a satin shirt is the perfect, subtle take on 70s casual. If we know Katie Holmes – and we think we do, fashion-wise – we’ll bet she’s hiding an on-trend high waistline under there, too.

Dakota Fanning

You’d be forgiven for thinking you’d stepped back in time if you saw Dakota Fanning strolling around LA, like the ultimate 70s ingénue, in her straw trilby, crochet cardigan, denim flares and wooden platforms.

Florence Welch

Top-to-toe in new season Chanel, Florence Welch clearly has her finger on the 70s fashion pulse.

Nicole Richie

Nicole Richie’s penchant for boho makes her a natural 70s fit. This floral cape look, which the TV-star-turned-designer wore to the Jean Paul Gaultier show at Paris Fashion Week in March, is one of our absolute favourite of hers, ever.

Kylie Minogue

Nothing says 70s more than a tiered maxi and tottering platform heels. Kylie Minogue is our go-to girl for sweet summer day looks.

Miranda Kerr

Miranda Kerr’s plunge-front Balenciaga maxi dress hit the 70s nail square on the head – as do her open-toe sandals, suede clutch bag and natural make-up.

Alexa Chung

You bet that fashion rule-breaker Alexa Chung can pull off a 70s style. There are no floor-scraping hemlines to be seen here, though – instead, Ms Chung makes the trend her own in a sweet, peasant-style smock dress (by Chanel, nonetheless).

Claudia Schiffer

Claudia Schiffer is a serial 70s style stalker. Her key pieces of choice? Printed neckerchiefs, embroidered peasant skirts, high-waisted denim flares and bug-eye sunglasses.

Eva Longoria

Eva Longoria wouldn’t look out of place if she stumbled into Studio 54 circa 1978 in this all-black, silk-and-sequins jumpsuit.

Heidi Klum

Heidi Klum took on the 70s trend in a tobacco-coloured, high-necked, wide-legged, key-hole cutout jumpsuit – and, sadly, we’re not sure she won.

Leighton Meester

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester looks a 70s dream in her psychedelic Marc Jacobs dress.

Miley Cyrus

Miley Cyrus channels the indomitable fashion spirit of Stevie Nicks in her fringed, floral shawl. Poptastic!

Shenae Grimes

Fringed sleeves, a cutaway front and a floor-skimming hemline; Shenae Grimes ticks all the 70s revival boxes in her black maxi.

Claire Danes

There’s more than a touch of 70s style icon Bianca Jagger about Claire Danes in this sleek Calvin Klein tuxedo dress.

Camilla Belle

Gucci put one of the season’s strongest 70s showings on the catwalk and Camilla Belle captured the spirit of it perfectly, top-to-toe in the label’s glamorous brights.

Fergie

Diane Von Furstenberg was one of the original 70s icons – so it’s little wonder that Fergie chose to channel the designer’s style as she attended her autumn/winter 2011 fashion show in New York.

Rose McGowan

Rose McGowan was boogie-ready at the SAG awards thanks to her hot pink, 70s-inspired plunge-front gown.

Evan Rachel Wood

Evan Rachel Wood scored a serious style hit in this peasant-style Gucci dress and knee-high leather boots on the promo trail for her new film The Conspirator.

Isabel Lucas

How wide can you go? Isabel Lucas took the 70s to the streets when she was papped out and about in these monumental flares.

Vanessa Hudgens

Vanessa Hudgens demonstrated precisely why the 70s is the era of choice for festival fashionistas in this cute flower power-inspired look at Coachella.

Karen Elson

Halterneck? Tick. Print? Tick. All-in-one? Tick. Karen Elson got it right on all fronts at Marc Jacobs’ autumn/winter 2011 show.

Paris Hilton

With her hair braid, tie-die maxi and glitzy gold cover-up, Paris Hilton made the perfect 70s statement on the streets of LA.

VV Brown

Singer VV Brown looked 70s-tastic in this gold lame maxi dress with contrasting high neck and deep cuffs at the Prince’s Trust Awards.

Kate Moss

Never one to let a trend pass her by (though, admittedly, she’s long since been an ‘out’ 70s devotee), Kate Moss rocked this long-sleeved pink maxi dress and sheepskin gilet for lunch at luxe London eatery The Wolseley. We’re giving her a bonus point for that scarf tied onto her handbag, too.

Tess Daly

Tess Daly killed two trends with one outfit at the TRIC Awards. Her split-leg MaxMara jumpsuit ticks both the 70s and tangerine boxes.

Lindsay Lohan

Night fever! Lindsay Lohan appeared to be channelling a young John Travolta in this pair of high-waisted white flares recently.

Top Ten Celebs with the Best Hair in Hollywood

Having the hottest body in Hollywood or the savviest sense of style on the red carpet means nothing if a star’s hair isn’t up to scratch! There’s a reason why classic icons are remembered for hairstyles, such as Marilyn Monroe’s platinum blonde waves or Audrey Hepburn’s charming pixie cut. So Bettyconfidential.com asked Philip Carreon, consulting hairstylist for Garnier on Project Runway and owner of Estilo salon in Los Angeles, for his picks for the best celebrity hairstyles of our generation.

1. Rihanna

“I love Rihanna because she’s a risk-taker and a style-setter. Just having short hair alone sets her apart from everyone else. She has a beautiful little face, so her dramatic hairstyles combine something that is really pretty and with something really strong. She can carry off even incredibly short hair and make it look feminine.”

2. Gwen Stefani

Gwen Stefani does her own thing and marches to her own beat. The great thing about Gwen is she’s very architectural with her style; she loves to experiment with different eras and it’s always meticulously done – if she has braided buns they are always situated in just the right spot. My close friend Danilo has styled Gwen’s hair for years, but she also does her own hair and makeup very well because she knows her face shape. No matter how extreme a style is, she always gets it right!”

3. Catherine Zeta Jones

“For a real classic beauty, it has to be Catherine Zeta Jones – when it comes to a beautiful head of hair, she definitely has it! She’s never gone lighter and always stayed as the smoldering smoky brunette that we all fell in love with in Zorro. Dark hair is not easy; it’s something only certain women can wear and look good with it but Catherine pulls it off flawlessly.”

4. Maria Bello

Maria Bello is the quintessential indie film actress because she’s totally fearless when it comes to her style. I’ve worked on her hair for years; she’s cut it short, she’s been blonde, gone dark – she’ll do whatever she needs to do for the role and loves the change and the experimentation. Maria just dives in! She knows what works for her, she likes texture, movement and to be on the wilder side. She’s really beautiful but most of the time she plays a very natural type of role, which she can pull off thanks to her raw beauty.”

5. Scarlett Johansson

“Scarlett is the epitome of glamour. She’s our modern day Marilyn Monroe. While she changes her color for roles, she always remains a blonde at heart, making her the ultimate sex kitten. Whether on screen or in print, her hair is one of the many assets that she uses to pull you in.”

6. Demi Moore

Demi Moore has one of the most beautiful heads of hair that I have ever worked on. I styled her for years, I did her for Charlie’s Angels and we got to design the look for her character, which was really fun! All she has to do is part her hair in the middle to be gorgeous. Demi has always stayed close to her natural color and never veered from being a dark haired, green-eyed beauty. She experiment more when she was younger and now knows what is beautiful on her. She’s a rule breaker having such long hair at 46 – she’s setting new standards for older women.”

7. Heidi Klum

“Even though I work on Project Runway, I’ve not styled Heidi Klum yet but she has fabulous hair! She comes out on the show every day with a different look because it’s about fashion and trendsetting. She has a great head of hair on its own but she’s also not afraid to experiment, she’ll curl it and tuck it under into a faux bob, she’ll slick it back, she’ll braid it – whatever she chooses, she’ll wear it well.

8. Eva Mendes

“My partner at Estilo Salon, Robert Ramos, does her color, which always moves through wonderful browns tones from reddish to golden, rich to light. Eva is in real control of her look, she has a definite feeling of what her style is and whatever she wants to represent with her hair. She knows what looks good on her and what exudes sexuality, which is what she’s all about.”

9. Helen Mirren

“For her age, Helen Mirren is the ultimate pace-setter. She breaks all the rules on how she dresses and what she is. Whether she is more conservative or more daring, her hairstyle always works for her. She is sexy on a different level, whether she has a soft wavy look and one that is dead straight. She’ll use her hair to exude what it is that she’s about – intelligence, sensuality and experience all come out in her hair style.”

10. Milla Jovovich

“Finally, Milla Jovovich has amazing hair. I’ve worked with her a lot of the years and she really knows what looks good on her because as a model she’s had everyone in the world work on her hair. She can go from short to now really, really long and she wears it all really well. She can even pull off being buzzed in the back in the Resident Evil movies. Milla has a very quirky eye — I’ve learnt a lot from her. Sometimes she wants some strange shapes in her hair that I am speculative about, and then she does it and it looks really good! She’s almost old-world girly and mixes it into her designs but it always comes out looking very modern.”

One-shoulder clothing trend

Celebrities We’ve Seen The One-Shoulder Trend On

Lisa Ho A/W 2011

Look closely and you’ll notice that actress Anna Friel isn’t just wearing any old little black dress. The dress is made up of three dimensional textured triangles, combined with the sheer trend in the form of a one shoulder overlay.

Recently anointed Miss Universe Stefania Fernandez attends the 10th Annual Latin Grammy awards in the one shoulder dress trend. The dress has one long sleeve, and an embellished silver and copper beaded shoulder piece.

Kate Moss

Pairing the one shoulder trend with the omnipresent sheer trend, Cindy Crawford showed off her still impressive figure at a party at George Clooney’s house.

We’d spotted Mandy Moore in the same Preen dress and we decidedly gave her the thumbs up. Who do you think wore it better – Cindy or Mandy?

We’ve always had a soft spot for Mandy Moore, Tania even more-so. Sadly it has to be conceded that her sense of style went through a rough patch whether it was for the wrong fashion picks, or simply gaining weight. In fact, she’s only appeared on our radar once, that time it was for a very sexy vamp look.

But with a new hair style, and a sexy-as-hell use of the sheer clothing trend this may just be a Mandy Moore come-back.

An elegant look it is Charlize and, yes, you look gorgeous. But despite it’s one shouldered sexiness; wedge heels and under accessorising take the overall look down more than one notch.

Featured in the first episode of our fashion podcast, this one-shoulder ruffle dress from Antonia Paris may just be the perfect bold statement piece for Spring/Summer 2009.

Lindsay Lohan in see-through, one-shoulder top

Having filmed a segment for her new TV show (which we’re unlikely to ever watch) there earlier in the night, US heiress cum socialite Paris Hilton cut a sexy figure when she to London’s Cuckoo Club in this one-shouldered, see-through little black dress.

Sadly wearing just a tad too much bronzer, but not enough to put Lindsay Lohan’s fake tan to shame, British actress Catherine Zeta Jones partook in the one-shoulder fashion trend recently.

Normally more a ‘girl next door’ than current fashion trends follower, Jennifer Hawkins never-the-less partook in the single-shoulder fashion trend at yesterday’s launch of 30 Days of Fashion and Beauty.

Showing off one shoulder in an asymmetrical dress is one of the year’s hottest trends. Claudia Schiffer apparently loves the single-shoulder trend so much that she wore this Versace number in not one, but two, colours.

Doutzen Kroes has spent the better part of 2008 globe-trotting, all the while looking fabulous while doing it. Back in May the supermodel could be found in Cannes, attending the best showings and parties the Cannes Film Festival had to offer. Naturally she was perfectly on trend wearing a single-shouldered dress to a photo call at the Martinez Hotel.

More asymmetry. Heidi Klum looked sexy and sleek in a black one-shouldered dress, teaming it with an opposingly asymmetrical belt. The whole impression is of a zig-zag line from shoulder to waist and back to hem. The single-shouldered dress trend has really taken off this season and is still going strong. What do you think of Heidi’s look?

Alexis Bledel attended the premiere of The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants 2 last week wearing the single-shouldered dress trend. Alexis teamed her black one-shouldered number with a gold clutch and black strappy heels.
