Cameron Diaz recently stepped out in casual chic style, pairing a simple striped tee with denim trousers and sleek pumps. A timeless look that is perfectly in step with this season's nautical-inspired trend, you can recreate it with these classic pieces:

Take a cue from Kylie Minogue and add a fun pop of color to a chic little black dress. The look works thanks to her otherwise monochromatic look complete with black shoes and handbag. The best part? Most likely you've got everything in your wardrobe already, just add a pair of bright tights for a quick update.

We're not going to do a full fashion recap of the Grammys because, frankly, the looks had us yawning a bit. Here are a few standouts of the evening, both good and bad:

Per Christina Aguilera's fascination with all things retro, her "romantic bombshell" look evokes old Hollywood glamour in a pale Emanuel Ungaro dress with pretty bow accent and Louboutin heels. Diamond encrusted hoop earrings and bangle bracelets from Lorraine Schwartz cap off her flawless style.

Mary J. Blige dazzled in a curve-hugging gold dress with a bronze belt. Take notes, ladies, her chic belt is the perfect way to dress down an ultra-dressy look.

Beyoncé caps off her red carpet streak with another fashion miss. It's just too bunchy, blingy and beauty queen for us. As for Nelly Furtado, we're not sure what to say of this shredded mess - perhaps the first time we've ever seen anyone match their hairstyle to their hem. Though we do love her look from the shoulders up.

Carmen Electra recently wore this dress and boots ensemble on the Rachael Ray Show. Combining Spring 2007's must-have vivid blue dress with Fall 2006's ubiquitous knee boots and wide belt, it's the perfect transitional look.

Steal her style by adding one of these bright blue dresses to your wardrobe. You can wear it now, a la Carmen, and in the spring with bare legs and pretty wedges.
