Gossip Girl star, Blake Lively wore a floor-length butter yellow Michael Kors dress last week at the 7th On Sale Black-Tie Gala in New York City, while Carrie Underwood wore a very similar version recently at the Country Music Awards. They both also chose to wear their hair down in curls. Of course Carrie’s dress had 6.2 million dollars worth of diamond butterfly brooches….

Hayden Panettiere was at the Big Apple Comic Book, Toy, Art and Sci-Fi Expo in New York City last weekend and while her basic black trench and jeans combo is less than original, we really give her fashion points for pairing them with grey boots. Steal her style with this fantastic pair made by Frye.

Maybe she didn’t have a new dress to wear….
Maybe she was cold…
Maybe she just really loves her coat…

In any case, Angelina Jolie wore a camel-colored long coat to the West Coast premiere of Beowulf. Could this be a new red carpet trend?

Katharine McPhee and January Jones are both crazy about this green tunic-length dress…so much so that they both wore it to the SAME event last weekend, the Tao Las Vegas 2nd Anniversary Weekend Celebration. Yipes!!

Katharine wore the dress with bare legs and pointy-toe heels and January wore trendy navy blue tights with peep-toe heels. Both ladies kept their jewelry simple, but January definitely went for a more eclectic vibe with her unique bag and chunky bracelets. Katharine opted for a more sleek look with her very straight tresses. Which was best??

Jessica Simpson hawks her own line of handbags and shoes at Macy’s in New York City. We’re still not convinced singers and actresses make the best fashion designers, but Jessica has had moderate success with her shoes (remember those red patent espadrilles with the cork heel? Everyone had those!). We love the look of these three shoes, but we aren’t crazy about her look. Her dress is cut too low for daytime (and looks pretty wrinkled) and she has way too much makeup on.
