Short dresses topped by leather jackets are beyond in right now (even though it's summer and jackets are unnecessary), and super cute actress Elizabeth Banks nailed the trend from every possible angle with her leopard print frock, cropped jacket and quirky Mary Janes, plus a minty-aqua envelope clutch. We loved the look so much --and spotlighted it here -- that we've endeavored to recreate it for

New husband, new hair. Melissa Gilbert, best known for her role as Laura Ingalls, aka "Half Pint," on 'Little House on the Prairie,' married actor Timothy Busfield earlier this year. Now the 49-year-old actress has followed up that big life event with another: a drastic haircut. She's showing off a new and much shorter 'do, as she chopped off her locks, fashioning them into a chin lengt

Eva Longoria is one of the most beautiful and stylish women in Hollywood. Unlike so many of her peers, the former Desperate Housewife doesn't have a style signature or a look she revisits on red carpets (and no, "form-fitting" and "figure-hugging" fabrics don't count). In that respect, she's sort of a renegade, doing something different and keeping us guessing at every turn. Re

This is one trend we don't get, but hey, celebs are all about it and they're the ones (allegedly) setting the style rules. Actress Rosario Dawson, who sports a lush, thick mane of glossy dark hair, has shaved half her head -- a look we've also seen on Rihanna and Jenna Jameson, to name only a few.

Denim shorts are a summer wardrobe staple, whether you buy them destroyed and tattered from a retailer or grab an old pair of jeans from your closet and hack 'em up accordingly. The shorts are adorning celeb bodies in all sorts of washes and fits, with the likes of Selena Gomez, Emmy Rossum and more daring to bare and own this versatile trend -- assuming you have the legs to pull it off.

Black leather feels like the trend of the summer of 2013. It's hot, in more ways than one, and the fabric is everywhere -- dresses, leggings and jackets. Even though the weather's warm, celebs cannot get enough of leather. And lately, they're pairing cute dresses of all lengths and shapes with black leather jackets that are usually cropped and fitted...

Since they work with all hair types and textures, messy side braids are godsends for long-haired ladies. They are also an alternative to the updo and can be a quick cure-all when you can't decide what to do with those hapless tendrils. The Golden Rule for side braids? The messier, the better. It's meant to look like you just had a metaphorical romp in the hay.

This week's best and worst dressed celebs were a mixed bag. The First Lady Michelle Obama wore a bowed Carolina Herrera dress that might have been too cutesy on anyone else, while Jennifer Lopez went Southern Belle in a dress that wasn't hideous but it just wasn't ... her.

The ballerina topknot is perfect for summer since it's an unfussy updo that keeps your neck cool and hair out your face. The pretty trend works with fancy attire (if you're going to an outdoor, summer wedding) or casual clothes (for when you're out running errands). And as you'll see here, Taylor Swift was recently a dressy bunhead, while Kim Kardashian kept it more casual.

Is prison couture the next big trend in fashion?

Don't let the sun beat down on you head, causing your hair color to fade and resulting in dried out strands. Protect your locks with a big-brimmed hat, and pair it with some stylin' shades to keep the delicate skin around your eyes safe and wrinkle-free. That's a lot of covering up, but you can do so fashionably. Just ask mom and model Miranda Kerr, fashion-forward actress Diane Kruger -- and mor

Kate Upton is her generation's crown princess, the blonde hottie who is the yardstick by which all other blonde hotties are measured. The 21-year-old model is a bombshell and a favorite of dudes, yet because she's so personable, women like her too. She's got a terrific body and (obviously) photographs well. When it comes to her style, she favors strapless, form-fitting, knee-length silhouettes and

As we've shown you before, black and white prints and stripes are hot this season, and 'Nashville' actress Hayden Panettiere recently combined the trends -- going summer cute and dressy in a black and white wide-striped dress, with an angled blazer and black booties to up the overall style.

Tall and thigh-high boots aren't really a summer trend, but since retailers will soon begin bringing in fall and winter items, why not think ahead about your cold weather wardrobe now and consider grabbing some of the boots that stars like Cara Delevingne and Selena Gomez have been wearing? Granted, they do send a message, so it takes some cultivated confidence to wear them. But paired with the ri

Katy Perry is Vogue's July cover model, and as part of discussing what she does and doesn't like about herself, the 'Fireworks' singer was caught on video getting her makeup done -- partially by herself, but largely by a professional team.

Shades are an essential part of any hot weather wardrobe, and black sunnies are all the rage this year. Celebs are taking care to choose an array of statement shapes that flatter their faces, like Rihanna's retro cat-eyed sunglasses or Kourtney Kardashian's thick, rectangular pair.

The MuchMusic Awards in Canada are a somewhat casual event, with celebs, actresses and pop stars opting for fun fashion instead of dressy or fussy couture. Here's our red carpet rundown of how starlets like Taylor Swift, Demi Lovato, Lucy Hale and more looked at the broadcast in Canada last night (June 16).

Stars and celebs are busting out their best summer-ready attire this week, even at dressy events. Katie Holmes was a vision in a white Chloe frock, while Miley Cyrus was, hands-down, the worst dressed we've seen all year. Punk chic is one thing. Forced punk chic is something else entirely.

There are many ways to wear stripes. As you can see above, they can be dressy, like Solange's suit, or they can be a fun part of a more casual ensemble -- like actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley's loose top. Whether vertical or horizontal, they can create visual interest. That said, you've gotta be careful and make sure that the direction of the pattern flatters your shape, because stripes can acc

It's good to be Rihanna. The singer and topless wonder of the world (well, except Ireland) invaded the Balmain showroom, posting a bunch of pics of herself modeling the French design house's wares looking like a kid in a fashion candy store.
