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?

In typical fashion, Gwen Stefani looked amazing at the Conde Nast 4th Annual Black Ball Concert for ‘Keep A Child Alive’ in New York City. We love everything about her ensemble, but are particularly smitten with her Christian Louboutin T-straps. They have the same black shredded suede design as this ankle boot (also by Louboutin). Stunning!

Christian Louboutin shoes are known for their shiny red soles and also often feature large-scale embellishments like bows or ruffles (or in this case, frayed material). These ankle boots are definitely trendy, but they’re also basic and refined enough to invest in and wear for many, many seasons. If you can manage the hefty price tag (um….$1,195!), they’re yours for the taking at net-a-porter.com.

Update! If you’re really thinking about taking the plunge, you can save yourself $50 by ordering from Saks Fifth Avenue where they’re $1,145. Of course, if you’re spending that much on shoes, $50 probably isn’t too big of a deal. Happy shopping!

Jessica Stam, an in-demand model who just finished up a season of runway shows, attended the Angel Ball in NYC benefiting cancer research. Being a model, Jessica is surrounded by style and certainly has her own. Her dress is a modern print in a classic shape. We’re fans.

Manuela Velles stars in a new film, Caotica Ana, previewed at the recent Rome Film Festival in Italy. We love the deep green color of her dress. The holiday season is definitely here. Many retailers are bringing out emerald green party frocks. Check these six out.

Just like the first snowfall of the season….Laura Linney has given us the first “winter white” spotting of the year. Linney looked near perfect at the 43rd Chicago Intetnational Film Festival. Her jacket fits her like a glove and her pants are chic and in keeping with the wide-leg trend that is so right now.
