Kristin Cavallari made a stylish appearance on Saturday at Dillards as the new ambassador for the label Chinese Laundry. She shows off her stellar style by working one of our favorite color combinations, and by pairing her chic dress with a tuxedo blazer that should be in every woman’s holiday wardrobe. Check out our Style Recipe on how to get the tuxedo look.

If you’re like us, you’re pretty sad that Friday Night Lights is over. So we were happy to see Aimee Teegarden on the red carpet a lot leading up to the Emmys!

We love Aimee’s new dark tresses—they really suit her a lot more than the blonde actually did. But what we’re really loving in both these red carpet outings is her chic, sophisticated style.

At the BAFTA Los Angeles Tea Party, Aimee paired a hot pink silk tank with a pleated maxi skirt and a bold statement necklace. For the Emmy Awards Performers Nominee Reception, she went for a plum silk blouse, curve-hugging miniskirt and lacquered pumps.

What we love the most is Aimee’s ability to show just the right amount of skin, looking chic and sexy yet completely appropriate at the same time. Both of these looks would be perfect for cocktails, a first date or even work in a more casual work environment.

Two trends were evident on the red carpet at the I Don’t Know How She Does It premiere in New York this week. (The decolletage of Christina Hendricks was also more than evident, but that’s another matter altogether.)

First up? Red dresses! We love the dresses that Emma Roberts and Olivia Munn wore at the premiere. Emma teamed her scarlet strapless maxi dress by Tibi with a black envelope clutch and eye-catching architectural gold necklace. Olivia’s Carolina Herrera dress and strappy heels were a bit more adventurous and daring.

Two celebs really went for high-octane glamour on the red carpet. Jessica Szohr simply dazzled in a mirrored gold Marchesa minidress, which she teamed with Christian Louboutin suede pumps and a newly debuted blunt black bob. Sophia Bush was a bit more buttoned up—yet still super glam—in a gold sequined suit by Nonoo, Edie Parker clutch, vintage Chanel pendant and Casadei pumps.

We’re loving that these celebs took chances at the premiere with bold colors and interesting silhouettes. It’s so nice to see people having fun with fashion!

Paris Hilton: Passport Collection Fragrance Launch

Paris Hilton’s Meet and Greet at Macy’s in Riverside to celebrate the launch of her new fragrance collection, Passport: Paris Hilton, was indeed a trip to remember. The collection was inspired by Paris’ jet setting life and includes three scents reminiscent of her fave destinations; avante guard Tokyo, chic namesake Paris, and hot hot South Beach, Miami. Fans lined up hours in advance to meet Paris and have their picture take with her. As the uber cool DJ played a mix of dance, pop, and hip hop, the energy was electric before Paris even arrived. Excited teen and 20-something girls danced while awaiting the arrival of your heiress. Macy’s was transformed into a full on Paris Hilton Party!

Monday night’s CFDA Fashion Awards brought the biggest and best names in fashion. Some of our favorite celebs came out in the most glamorous gowns. Gwyneth Paltrow, in Michael Kors, model Iman, in Giambattista Valli, and Whitney Port, in David Meister all looked fabulous in their sequined, ruched, and draped dresses.

Gwyneth, however, takes our breath away in her cut out sequins gown. The silhouette and detailing is amazing, making her our best dressed of the night.
