2013 Do Something Awards Red Carpet: See Kelly Osbourne, Carmen Electra + More [Photos]
The 2013 Do Something Awards took place in Hollywood yesterday (July 31), and they are more important than a typical, pat-itself-on-the-back Tinseltown function like the Oscars or Emmys. These awards honor young people who make a difference and put thought into action to enact social change. The red carpet saw Kelly Osbourne in a lacy LBD, Carmen Electra turning heads in a satiny cobalt gown with
Try This Trend: Jennifer Aniston, Kate Upton + More Wear Denim Shorts
Jean shorts (aka Daisy Dukes) are a summer staple. The more tattered, the better, whether you bought them that way or took scissors to an old pair of jeans and started hacking away. Not only can they can make your legs look longer and leaner, they go with everything -- and holes, rips and exposed pockets are welcomed and encouraged.
Jennifer Aniston, the queen of Cali casual, and Kate Upton, among
Get the Look for Less – Selena Gomez’s Tattered Jean Shorts, Flowy Top + More
Selena Gomez is one of the most stylish people in Young Hollywood, largely because she identifies trends and puts her own spin on them.
Here, she was summer appropriate in a well-accessorized beach stroll-ready outfit consisting of tattered, battered shorts and a flowy white top accented by a feather necklace, colorful bag and white sandals -- and we've put together a copy of this ensemble for a f
Penelope Cruz Style Breakdown – What’s Right, What’s Wrong, and How to Fix It
Gorgeous, Oscar-winning actress Penelope Cruz is simply stunning. But while she isn't afraid to be frilly and fancy on the red carpet, she also has a enviable casual personal style. She's been out of the spotlight lately because she's been pregnant (she and hubby Javier Bardem recently welcomed their second child), but in the last few years, she's wowed us with some of her outfits.
All Those Hours Christina Aguilera’s Been Logging at the Gym Are Clearly Paying Off [PHOTOS]
What a difference a season off makes. Christina Aguilera, who took a hiatus from 'The Voice,' will be back this fall. And while she didn't tour in support of her album 'Lotus' (which tanked), she did use her time wisely: She got herself in incredible shape, looking better than she has in years.
Try This Trend: Olivia Wilde, Selena Gomez + More Rock Beachy Bedhead Waves
Summer is murder on stick-straight hair -- humidity is the enemy of sleekness, and heat leads to a general dryness and lack of shine. So rather than fight the elements, beachy bedhead waves allow celebs to be artfully disheveled and messy on purpose.
The "I just woke up" look can be styled in a variety of ways, like Olivia Wilde's defined semi-curls or Selena Gomez's tumbling tendrils.
Try This Trend: Miley Cyrus, Adriana Patridge + More Dare to Wear Leather Skirts in Summer
Summer 2013 has been the summer of black leather. It's everywhere, made all the more perplexing by how thick and heavy it is. Regardless, even in July -- one of the hottest months of the calendar year -- black leather skirts are all over the place. Better still, there's one appropriate for you, no matter your personal style.
To keep cool, the hem can rise a la Miley Cyrus, or you can get girly wi
Best + Worst Dressed of the Week: Jessica Chastain, Cate Blanchett + More
This week was full of fashion home runs, courtesy of Jessica Chastain and Helen Mirren, who were both red hot in figure-hugging dresses, while Cate Blanchett went fashion-forward in a powder pink Balenciaga gown with a hula-like construction and tentacles that just didn't work for us.
Try This Trend: Nicole Richie, Eva Longoria + More Work White Jumpsuits
Okay, we know not everyone can pull off a jumpsuit -- and may not even want to. It's an acquired taste, so to speak. If you're vertically challenged, good luck. A one-piece can make you look dumpy. But even if you're tall, a poorly tailored or ill-fitting jumpsuit can make you look like a custodian (and we ain't got the time or the inclination for janitor chic).
So can you make it work? Maybe. Le
Michelle Williams Glams It Up With Handbags + Red Lips in Louis Vuitton Ad Campaign [PHOTOS]
Michelle Williams, one of the finest actresses of her generation, landed her first fashion endorsement and ad campaign -- and it's for Louis Vuitton. That's about as luxe and high-end as one can go when it comes to accessories and apparel brands, so to say that she went "big" her first time out would be a vast understatement.
Get the Look for Less – Demi Lovato’s Grey Skinny Jeans, White Blouse + Heels
Demi Lovato is known for her love of tough girl black, but for summer she's apparently toned it down by going with grey and white instead. At the same time, the singer and 'X Factor' judge kept her makeup -- smoky eyes and glossy nails -- in her signature shade, along with her sky-high heels.
Like the look? Then you'll love this: We recreated it for around $160.
Try This Trend: Karlie Kloss, Paris Hilton + More Get Girly in Flower-Print Dresses
Flower-print dresses are perfect for summer, especially when the hems of the frocks are short. They're fresh, fun and flirty, just like the buds of the season. And since flower-print apparel is easy to find and comes in a variety of cuts and colors, there are options for all of us -- short, tall, petite, curvy, girlish or glam.
Here, you'll see model Karlie Kloss went with a geometric neckline, w
Katie Holmes Style Breakdown – What’s Right, What’s Wrong, and How to Fix It
Katie Holmes became a style icon by virtue of the media coverage bestowed upon her when she hooked up with, procreated with and married Tom Cruise. All eyes were on the cute 'Dawson's Creek' actress, so she had to step it up and go from girl to woman in a heartbeat.
She and Cruise are now divorced, but that hasn't stopped her style from evolving.
Try This Trend: Cara Delevingne’s Shabby Chic
English model Cara Delevingne is this generation's Kate Moss: She's an edgy, dirty girl with insane cheekbones and gorgeous features who isn't afraid to look messy in public.
With her well-groomed yet thick eyebrows, tangled mane of blonde hair, a smoldering stare and a clutch of famous pals (Rihanna calls her a "wife" and she bros down with Rita Ora), Delevingne is a media magnet with
Jennifer Lawrence, Halle Berry + More Invade Comic-Con 2013 in High Style [PHOTOS]
Comic-Con, held in San Diego, Calif. this past weekend, is no longer the domain of nerds and comic book geeks. Several of our favorite and most beautiful actresses -- Oscar winner and style diva Jennifer Lawrence and very pregnant newlywed Halle Berry among them -- were on site for the event, looking fabulous while promoting films, just hanging out and more.
Best + Worst Dressed of the Week: Selena Gomez, Vera Farmiga + More
We're in the thick of summer with the sun at its hottest, but even so, our favorite fashionable celebs are still turning up for events looking flawless and like they never break a sweat. This week's winners were Selena Gomez, who was ravishing in red at the ESPYs, as well as Malin Akerman, who was bold in blue -- but sadly, the lovely Vera Farmiga overdid it with a billowy black gown.
Here are the
When It Comes to Hair, Rihanna Thinks Grey Is the New Black [PHOTOS]
In Rihanna's mind (and on top of her head), grey is the new black. The singer has taken a pause from posting topless shots on her Instagram feed to instead share shots of her new dye job: a thoroughly granny shade of grey.
Try This Trend: Jennifer Aniston, Alyssa Milano + More Take a Dip in V-Necks
It's summer, which means it's time to show more skin -- and celebs are doing just that with deep V cuts. Not only is it okay to let the neckline plunge and the cleavage breathe in stifling weather, you get the added bonus of showing off your assets. But there are lots of ways to wear a V-neck, so you can pick what makes you most comfortable.
Jennifer Aniston and Alyssa Milano wore deep Vs in their
Get the Look for Less – Jennifer Aniston’s Tank Dress, Tan Accessories + Jewelry
Jennifer Aniston is the quintessential Cali girl -- and her summery tank dress, which she upgraded with loads of accessories, is evidence of her classic and livable style.
The dress is blue (not black, for a change), while her accoutrements were neutral in the tan and gold family. Want to rock the look yourself? We recreated it at a fraction of the cost.
Try This Trend: Gwen Stefani, Selena Gomez + More Bare Bellies in Flowy White Tees
In the summer, few colors are as glorious as white -- and loose, flowy white tops that show a little tummy are sexy and cool, as Gwen Stefani and Selena Gomez have demonstrated with recent outfits.
It's an easy trend that anyone can wear, even devotees of black. Skin-showing is not required, but it's always a sexy detail. Whatever the shape or the cut, a loose white top will never go out of style
