When we think of Carmen Electra‘s style, we tend to picture boob-baring, barely there dresses and/or bikinis. Seriously, that’s been her ‘thing’. But the actress really glammed things up this past weekend when she attended the 19th Annual Race to Erase MS Event held at the Hyatt Regency Century Plaza in Los Angeles. She wore the blue ‘Mercia’ dress by designer Catherine Deane, from the Fall/Winter 2012 collection. The dress features a deep cut front with a front clasp and beaded shoulder and waist detail.

Black and white seemed to be the theme du jour, with many stars donning black or white dresses or pantsuits. They looked nice, but black and white are such safe colors at an event like this. Amber Rose and Nelly Furtado both donned short white...  Read More..

It’s no secret that I LOOOOVE Gwen Stefani‘s style. I recently told you that her look is the one I most emulate, when it comes to celebrity style. I love that she stays covered up, and her outfits are always slightly edgy, and never trashy, but still command attention whether she’s just running errands with her family or appearing on a red carpet. She was recently spotted out in Los Angeles in a simple look that still had me coveting each piece! She wore basic black – a top and leggings, and you can’t go wrong with this, especially when you pair it with attention-grabbing...  Read More..

Nicole Richie was once known for her boho-style, thanks to her former stylist Rachel Zoe. But thankfully that period is history! We love how she’s transitioned over the years into more of a contemporary fashionista, often dressing from her own fashion lines (Winter Kate and House of Harlow). And even though those lines feature some boho pieces, she pairs it with edgy items from other designers. This spring everyone else is into pastels or bright colors, so Nicole stood out dressed in all black leather at the NBC Universal summer press day in Pasadena, CA, where she was promoting her NBC...  Read More..
