Rihanna typically serves us a perfect blend of luxury, edgy, barely-there fashion but every now and then she dresses down – waaaay down – like she did in New York City this weekend. The superstar rocked an extra casual outfit of a grey Rodarte Exclusive Radarte Sweatshirt (yes, it was chilly enough in NYC to sport a sweatshirt) and ripped jeans. She accessorized with a Camo Culture Hat from Trukfit (THE REASON U KILL FOR IT), Lil Wayne’s streetwear clothing line and classic Timberland boots. She also wore a chain-link necklace (UPDATED: it’s the  Queen of the Jungle necklace...  Read More..

Thanks to a little celebrity inspiration, this season I’m obsessed with the color yellow. Eva Longoria rcoked a yellow blazer at Nice Cote d’Azur Airport while heading to the 2012 Monte Carlo Television Awards, Nicole Richie wore a yellow dress when she appeared on on “Extra” to talk about her show Fashion Star and Beyonce recently sported a casual yellow short suit while in Paris with Jay-Z. The color yellow is perfect to wear on both bright and gloomy days – it’s my go-to hue and it feels like I’m wearing sunshine! You can rock it top to bottom like...  Read More..

Is it ever appropriate to wear a bra with a skirt for a day of shopping in NYC? Rihanna thinks so. The singer was spotted shopping and smelling the flowers in SoHo in a very questionable ‘outfit’ – if you can even call it that. She wore a pink American Apparel Stretch Floral Lace Ruched Front Tube Bra paired with a pink Pleated Dip Back Skirt from Topshop, and accessorized with a body chain, yellow talon nails, a black Celine Nano Luggage Tote bag, sunglasses and black hi-top Converse Chuck Taylors. Later, she did cover up slightly with a grey sweater but still the sheer bra...  Read More..

KimYe (that’s Kim Kardashian and Kanye West in case you didn’t know) was spotted at the Cannes Film Festival, where Kanye debuted his short film, Cruel Summer. But all eyes were on what they were wearing. At this point, that’s all a KimYe sighting is good for! The couple went for their usual matchy look, with Kanye wearing a white tee under a cream colored blazer, paired with jeans. Kim wore a complementary cream and gold beaded Balmain Resort 2012 dress that has really made its rounds. We’ve already seen it on Zoe Saldana at the premiere of her film Colombiana, Celine...  Read More..

The latest celebrities-turned-reality TV stars are BFFs Adrienne Bailon & Julissa Bermudez. You may know Adrienne as a former member of girl groups The Cheetah Girls and 3LW, and Julissa, as a TV host from ’106 & Park’. The besties, who are starring in their own show ‘Empire Girls: Julissa & Adrienne‘, posed together on the red carpet at the OK! Magazine ‘Sexy Singles’ party in NYC in shiny PVC dresses from LaQuan Smith‘s Fall 2012 ‘Robotic Dream’ collection. The line is full of sexy, sci-fi, futuristic looks, like the ones seen...  Read More..

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. She accessorized with jewelry by M.C.L By Matthew Campbell...  Read More..

Last night’s Billboard Music Awards show included some watercooler-worthy moments, like Jordin Sparks‘ tribute to Whitney Houston, and a teary-eyed acceptance of Whitney’s Millenium award by her daughter Bobbi Kristina. And there were more sweet/funny/crazy moments, which you can read about here. But let’s talk about the fashion. 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..

Dubbed the “Fashion Oscars,” celebrities and designers strutted their stuff last night at the 2012 Costume Institute Gala. Held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art, this year’s Costume Institute Benefit celebrated Elsa Schiaparelli and Miuccia Prada and the opening of the “Schiaparelli and Prada: Impossible Conversations” exhibition in New York. Azealia Banks, who attended with and was dressed by Alexander Wang, was the performer for the night. And of course, the fashion was out in full force and as always, we saw major hits and misses. Trends we spotted Cameron Diaz...  Read More..

On Tuesday night I attended the NBC “Fashion Star” party at the H&M flagship store on 51st Street and Fifth Avenues. The 3-story store was packed to the brim with celebrities, editors, bloggers and socialites, plus the designers from “Fashion Star“, buyer Nicole Christie and two of the show’s celebrity mentors, Nicole Richie and John Varvatos. We got our groove on to the sounds of DJ Mia Moretti who made it feel like a party, playing throwback hits from the 90′s. One side of the store was sectioned off with mannequins dressed in the winning “Fashion...  Read More..

Who says maternity dresses can’t be glam? Ok, so it’s not a true maternity dress but apparently it looks great on pregnant ladies! Singer Jessica Simpson and reality TV star Kim Zolciak (The Real Housewives of Atlanta) both stunned recently in the floor length Roberto Cavalli Draped floral-print silk-chiffon gown. Jessica first wore the $2,220 gown when she appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live on March 19 to discuss her show Fashion Star on NBC. She paired it with a black leather moto jacket. Kim wore the same rose-printed frock last week at NBC Universal’s Summer Press Day. She posed...  Read More..

Further fueling the relationship rumors, Kim Kardashian and Kanye West were spotted out on several ‘dates’ this weekend in NYC. While out for ice cream, the pair wore leather – Kanye in all black including a leather trench, leather pants and a black tee paired with white/cement grey Air Jordan sneakers. Kim wore a casual-yet-glam, hi-low look of a grey Crop Sweatshirt with Reverse Raglan – designed by 194t paired with leather leggings, a gold cuff, a Celine taupe leather ‘Luggage Phantom’ square tote and Christian Louboutin Unbout Illusion pumps.

When it comes to celebrity style, I have a few favorites that I like to ‘mock’. I love Rihanna’s edgy, rocker chick looks, though wearing those clothes everyday is not an option for me. I also love Kim Kardashian’s Cali-girl glam style of form-fitting dresses with sky-high heels, especially when going out to dinner or dancing. But the celebrity whose style I’m most like on a daily basis is Gwen Stefani. The No Doubt singer always exudes cool, whether she’s wearing camouflage pants and sneakers, or an African-printed dress and high-heeled booties. Her look is...  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..

Stella McCartney‘s dresses have been making their rounds on the Hollywood circuit lately. Kerry Washington, the stylish star of ABC’s Scandal, was the latest to rock one. She wore a printed blue dress from the Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2012 collection at the “Django Unchained” photo call. The event, held at The Ritz Carlton Hotel in Cancun, Mexico, was part of the Summer of Sony 4 Spring Edition. Kerry rocked the dress with her hair in her signature loose waves and paired it with some nude patent pumps. Personally, we think it would have looked better with some sleek black...  Read More..
