Florence Welch performed at the Marquee Nightclub at the Cosmopolitan in Las Vegas wearing a gold jumpsuit from the Elie Saab Fall 2010 Couture collection. I loved it. It’s hard enough to pull of a jumpsuit, but this one was a high-waisted, deep V-neck, draped sleeved, sparkly gold number. However, Florence pulled it off beautifully. She looked spectacular. It was the perfect ensemble for the stage.

Lauren Conrad wore a sweet and simple number to the CoverGirl 50th Anniversary Party. I’m really taken with the Quail dress, I’m actually thinking of getting it for myself. The silk chiffon wrap dress looks like a simple little dress, but it has some sexiness with the open keyhole back. Lauren finished the look with Jimmy Choo ‘Ember’ sandals. The reality star also debuted a darker ‘do. A brunette Lauren looks a lot like Kate Middleton, don’t you think?

Cate Blanchett looked utterly divine at the SK-II gala in Beijing. The actress wore a stunning vintage Christian Lacroix Couture gown from Decades. The look was so sophisticated and regal. I’m in awe of it. From the moment that I laid eyes on Cate in this magnificent deep burgundy gown with gold crystal sequin embellishments, I knew it would be my pick for Belle of the Year. How can it not be? She looks fabulous! I would kill for this dress, but I doubt that I could pull it off half as well as Ms. Blanchett.

Penelope Cruz wore a gorgeous Elie Saab Spring 2010 gown to the closing of the Cannes Film Festival. The nude embroidered strapless lace gown was sexy and elegant. And it was oh so romantic – which is what the Elie Saab Spring 2010 collection was all about.

Rachel Bilson attended the Roberto Cavalli 40th Anniversary Party wearing a show-stopper of a dress. She wore a leopard print gown from the Roberto Cavalli Pre-Fall 2010 collection. The gown was so sexy! I love how she wore one of the straps down. A well matched red clutch was the perfect compliment to the sultry ensemble.

Little Elle Fanning might only be twelve, but she’s walking down red carpets in couture pieces that any one – regardless of age – might find enviable. At the Somewhere New York premiere the young actress wore an edgy tan suede and gold leather embossed dress from the Rodarte Spring 2011 collection. She kept the runway styling and completed the look with the same Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte metallic wedges and white see-through socks.

Anne Hathaway looked simply amazing decked out in Oscar de la Renta Spring 2011 gown at the Nobel Peace Prize Banquet in Norway. The red heart print silk chiffon asymmetrical one shoulder gown with a ruffled hem and a matching Roger Vivier red satin clutch was very Old Hollywood.

Leighton Meester donned a Hawai’ian-inspired Christian Dior Spring 2011 mini dress to the Los Angeles premiere of Country Strong. She paired the fun and flirty frock with bright pink and orange Pierre Hardy ankle strap wedges. To complement the girly look, Leighton wore her hair in ringlets and a bright pink lipstick.

Elle Fanning looked so adorable at the Somewhere New York premiere. She wore head to toe Rodarte Spring 2011, from a tan suede and gold leather embossed dress to matching Nicholas Kirkwood for Rodarte metallic gold wedges. She stuck with the runway styling, which in my opinion, was awesome. I love this look! Can you believe this girl is 12? I’m jealous of what a 12 year old is wearing…lol.

Daisy Lowe attended the 2010 British Fashion Awards wearing a beautiful Elie Saab Fall 2010. I loved the lace gown when it walked down the runway, so I’m more than happy to see it on the red carpet. The detailing on the gown is just beautiful. There is one let down though, the hair could have been better. But all in all, the look was gorge!

Leighton Meester showed up at the 2010 Gotham Independent Film Awards in a Thom Browne suit – a little ironic since Thom Browne just release his first womenswear collection. Anyways, I love it. I always dig it when girls don menswear – must be something about the juxtaposition of masculine and feminine that gets me. Leighton didn’t butch it up or play it too girlie. She kept her hair and tie loose, wore Ferragamo pumps, and carried a green clutch.

Emma Watson looked all grown up at the Harry Potter premiere in London. The Brit wore a sexy lace and feather mini dress by Rafael Lopez. Although the young actress is showing a bit of skin, it doesn’t come off as vulgar or tacky. Love the playful feather skirt. Emma completed the outfit with a Remembrance Day Poppy.

Taylor Swift shied away from her usual love of sparkly sequins and opted for a classic red dress. Talk about lady in red. Wow. The Monique Lhuillier dress had a sweetheart neckline (love me a sweetheart neckline) and a sexy thigh high slit. Love it. I wish I had the gown!

Carey Mulligan walked the red carpet of the 18th Annual BAFTA Britannia Awards in Los Angeles in a classic black and white Preen Spring 2011 dress. The beaded bodice and the belted full tea length skirt gave the look an air of sophistication. The blue YSL suede shoes was an unexpected punch of color that worked beautifully with the ensemble, injecting a youthful playfulness. The British actress kept her hair and makeup simple and polished.

Olivia Wilde also attending the event, donning a full length fishtail sequin skirt and a cashmere bodysuit, both by Michael Kors. I love the look. First off, it was sparkly, and I love anything that sparkles, but it wasn’t over the top sparkly. The look was sophisticated, elegant, and sexy. I can’t wait to emulate it.

Everyone is in love with the romantic Valentino gown that Keira Knightley wore to the Last Night premiere during the 2010 Rome Film Festival, but I’m more taken with the Chanel Spring 2011 number she wore during the dinner party. I’m taken with the ensemble. The gray and black color combo is classic and evokes fall, but the sheerness of the material screams fun and spring. There’s a certain playful and carefree air to the look. Love it. Want it. Molto Bella!

Diane Kruger attended the Elle’s Women in Hollywood Tribute wearing a coral Calvin Klein halter dress. I like the simplicity and the color of the dress. Diane also kept her hair and makeup on the simple, classic side. The German actress dressed up the look with shimmering Bulgari jewels and a Jimmy Choo clutch. The look is causal, but dressed up. It’s very effortless chic.

Emma Roberts was also in attendance, donning a sequined chiffon Jenny Packham dress with metallic Brian Atwood heels, a Jenny Packham clutch, and David Yurman jewelry. Love the fabric color and how the sequins are threaded in. But I’m really taken with the back. I’m a sucker for a backless dress, and this one takes the cake, I love it! It’s sexy, but in a classy way. I want that dress!

You know, I’m usually not a big fan of a head to toe leopard look, I usually like my leopard pieces to be more of an accent piece – like shoes, purses, scarves, etc. But I am LOVING the animal print Roberto Cavalli gown that Rachel Bilson wore to the Cavalli 40th Anniversary Party. Oh. My. God. It’s gorgeous. Leopard print can easily be tacky, but Rachel looks simply stunning. I adore how she wore one of the straps down. The actress paired the leopard print with a red clutch – a classic color combo. Rachel also wisely went bling-less, since the print is already busy.

Heidi Klum, who recently retired her Victoria’s Secret Angels’ wings, attended the amfAR Milano 2010 in an embellished Roberto Cavalli gown. There are three things I really love about the look. One, the sparkles – cause I’m such a girly girl. Two, the sweetheart neckline. And three, the marcel waves – because I heart 20s fashion. Heidi fashionably rocked the retro look without it looking costumey. She looked gorgeous!

Odette Yustman looked ah-mazing in a burnt orange J. Mendel Resort 2011 gown. Loves it. The color is hard to pull off, but Odette worked it at the “You Again” L.A. premiere.  Love how she paired the orange gown with a red lip instead of the expected nude. The loose waves, the makeup, the gown – well the whole look – gave off an Old Hollywood vibe. Love the whole look, it was goregous!

Cat Deeley rocked a military inspired look to the Burberry Prorsum Spring/Summer 2011 show at London Fashion Week. She wore a Burberry statement jacket cinched at the waist with a black belt and a pair of suede booties. The look was fashionable and eye-catching yet relaxed and easy. We really dug the chic look and can’t wait to emulate it.

Cate Blanchett looked supremely divine at the SK-II gala in Beijing in vintage Christian Lacroix Haute Couture gown from Decades. It was gorgeous, it was heavenly, it was extremely divine – it was every adjective that encompasses how amazingly awe-inspiring she looks. The deep burgundy gown embellished with gold crystal sequins gives off a certain regal vibe that Cate pulls off beautifully because of her poised elegance. All hail Queen Cate, because this fashion queen certainly knocked it out of the park with this number. Loves it!

Carey Mulligan donned a tulle and lace Elie Saab dress to the New York premiere of Never Le Me Go. I love this dress on her – it was sexy, but not overtly sexy. She looked great! And her hair was so adorable!

Blake Lively paid a visit to Live with Regis and Kelly wearing an embellished cropped jacket and teal leather skirt combo by Matthew Williamson and a pair of Louboutins. The Gossip Girl actress added a little twist to the ensemble by wearing the skirt back to front. Love the play on texture and color, it was tres chic!

We’re really digging the freshness of this look. The sapphire and yellow Marchesa dress is lovely and the complements is beautifully. Loving the laidback, California ponytail and minimal makeup. The only thing that’s bugging are the black Christian Louboutins, wish it was a different color.

Selma Blair attended the LA premiere of Middle Men in a cute LBD. I like the sheer overlay, it kept the Stella McCartney dress from being just another strapless number. It’s pretty. I also really loved her Alexander McQueen Heart Peep-toes simply because of the bright yellow soles. Love the little pop of color that the shoes as well as her burgundy clutch added. Everything about the look was simple, from the retro curls to the LBD to the minimal accessories, but it was simple with a twist which kept it from being boring.
