Madonna teamed up with Gucci to throw a benefit for Malawi and UNICEF and not only did a lot of stars show up, but Madge was the most underdressed. She still looked very nice though, posing with her daughter Lourdes. Rihanna, Katie Holmes and Brooke Shields all chose more vivid hues.

Yellow was a popular color at the party. Nina Garcia of ELLE Magazine wore solid yellow and Cassie and Drew Barrymore (our favorite of the night) wore black and yellow.

Ali Larter and Gwenyth Paltrow both wore pink, but we much preferred Ali’s take. Rosie O’Donnell garnered “worst dressed” reviews on many sites, but if you look close enough, you’ll see that her Flip video camera has a pink stripe on it. We applaud her effort.

Jessica Alba’s latest flick, The Eye, didn’t do so hot at the box office last weekend, but we love the style she’s been sporting on her publicity tour. Instead of trying to minimize her baby bump with layers of clothing or over-accessorizing (ahem, Rachel Roy), Jess’s dresses are all looks we could picture her wearing regardless or being pregnant. We especially love her navy blue Narciso Rodriguez dress she wore to the film’s premiere. Isn’t she gorgeous?

The stars were the models at The Heart Truth Red Dress runway show during this year’s Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week in New York City. Celebrities like Maria Menounos, Heidi Klum and Camryn Manheim strutted their stuff to promote awareness about heart disease, the #1 killer of women in America.

Many of the designers showing collections at Bryant Park this week designed dresses for the 2008 Red Dress Collection sponsored by the National Heart, Lung and Blood Institute. Heidi wore Marc Jacobs and Maria wore Marchesa.

We know what you’re thinking. “Why would I want to look like a guy?” But it’s Johnny Depp!

When we saw this photo of Depp at the Paris premiere of Sweeney Todd, we wondered if we could somehow “feminize” his signature grungy, bohemian style into an acceptable outfit. Luckily, longer jackets are coming back in and a layered wrap is always chic. We think this look is perfect for a trip to the movies, or the park or even a airplane ride.

Despite the canceled Golden Globes, the stars have had plenty of recent opportunities to get red-carpet ready. Case in point: the Chanel Fine Jewelry - Night of Diamonds at the Plaza Hotel in New York City.

Although none of these stars would probably have attended the Globes, they were our favorites of the night by far. From left to right, Kate Mara, Selma Blair, Blake Lively and (our style muse!), Margherita Missoni. The daughter of Italian designers, Margherita always looks impeccable.

Selma and Blake’s dresses are actually somewhat similar with the embellishments on the bodice and the silver brooches at the waist. We prefer Selmas take. The fit of Blake’s dress seems to be a bit off and, combined with her kind of messy hair, she looks a bit like someone playing dress up
