We loved Stephanie Pratt ( From MTV’s The Hills), right, in this one-shoulder sequins blue dress, but couldn’t help but think we’d seen it (or something very similar) before. Then we remembered who we saw it on: Katie Cassidy at the CW’sMelrose Place launch party.

We love the way both ladies wear the look. Katie let the dress do most of the talking with small studs and strappy heels, while Stephanie Pratt dressed up the look with a deco inspired necklace and round toe platform pumps.

Since the above photo shows Paris Hilton filming a commercial, we can’t say whether the outfit choice was hers or that of a stylist. We can say, however, that we love it. Her look is at once very retro (channeling the late ’50s early ’60s) yet at the same time very timeless in its classic features.

Not only do we love the fitted belted sheath dress, we also appreciate how the leopard print coat makes the look pop.

Beyonce is one lovely lady who knows how to play up her assets. The curvy star worked the red carpet at Macy’s Herald Square, for the launch of her new fragrance ‘Heat’, in a gorgeous blue Rafael Cennamo dress.

The key to flattering a pear shape, such as Beyonces, is to draw the eye upward with sleeveless pieces, v-neck and scoopneck necklines, and belts to accentuate the waist. Beyonce has done all three tricks above, and the confidence on her face shows she feels as great as she looks.

We first noticed the cropped jacket in late summer when Charlize Theron, left, wore it to a a Pasadena soccer match benefiting the Africa Outreach Project. Suddenly her simple jersey dress had flair, style, and layers to make it interesting.

Kristen Bell, center, followed in the fall with her SMYTHE cropped jacket layered over a flirty purple blouse with skinny jeans. Most recently we saw Kate Walsh in a cropped jacket by Stella McCartney paired with a printed blouse and skinny jeans.

Given that we’re already a huge fan of chic layering we totally love this look. Worn as Charlize does over a dress, or as an structured piece over a ruffled or printed blouse with skinny jeans as Kristen and Kate wore it, the cropped jacket is a great transition piece from winter to spring.

Carrie Underwood and Gwen Stefani inspire us to get fit in the new year with their bikini bods. Although some stars get carried away with embellishments and ruffles, we like how the two kept it simple with sleek halter and string bikini styles. Both suits are sexy without revealing too much and flatter their figures.
