Lets' look at how gorgeous, how timeless, how ravishing and sophisticated Kristen Stewart looks in her very major LBD at the Rome (who wouldn't glow just to be in Rome?) photo call for "The Twilight Saga- Eclipse".
This is a wake-up call to the too skimpy, too short, too tight, orange-tanned, skyscraper platforms that you can't walk in set. To the girls out there who glop
onto every trend just because IT is in style and instead of looking like the fashionista (the word makes me shiver in this case) you think you are, you end up looking CHEAP.

BTW: Taylor Lautner looks like a "real" movie star and not a slouch too!

Big splashy prints and feminine florals are a huge trend. Frankly, too much girlishness can make me a bit queasy, if it's not worn the right way.
What I do LOVE is the very grown-up and chic splashy black and white, fitted sheath dress that Emmy Rossum chose to wear to the "Red" Broadway opening in New York last week.

Her dress is modern, sophisticated, and flatters her figure just so, but it could have gone from chic and interesting to mundane with the wrong choice of shoes.
Instead of pairing her feminine dress with something expected, like ladylike slingbacks or classic pumps, Emmy took the style plunge and went for the unexpected by wearing a pair of menswear inspired spectator heels to counterbalance the feminine look.
Instantly, her look became unique and had full-on personal style rather than looking looking like cookie-cutter fashion clone, simply by selecting shoes that are just a bit different-- that's New York style!

What's really amazing about Jennifer Garner is that she looks so normal when off the red carpet.
We spotted her at the Milk + Bookies First Annual Story Time Celebration in Los Angeles event and although her outfit is far from exciting it does have the right polished element to make any busy mom's day at the playground wardrobe work: a shrunken blazer.

Grabbing inspiration from where you can is nothing new in fashion. But Mr. Armani has enough class to be inspired by himself.
The gorgeous, body hugging, tush emphasizing, strapless fuchsia Giorgio Armani Prive dress that Megan Fox wore to the Moscow premiere of "Transformers 2" , pictured below, now has a just as beautiful little sister.
It is the Emporio Armani version, sketched by Mr. Armani and pictured left.

Jessica Szohr of Gossip Girl looks positively city chic at the opening of the American Eagle Outfitters flagship store in New York.
We all know that jeans are the great fashion equalizer, but sometimes dressing them up can get a bit tricky.
When we say dressy, we're thinking more of a Casual Friday at the office, polished city look rather than party glamour or glitz.
It's honestly only takes swapping out a few items to dress up your everyday jeans. The fact that Jessica's outfit is tonal also makes it look more polished and put together.

How to wear a biker jacket and look chic, that's the question of the day!
The iconic biker jacket always conjures up images of edgy, care-free style. What to wear to a formal but not fussy event can be tricky.

Yes, simple chic can absolutely rock out when you know how to do it right, like Mary J. Blige.

Harem pants or voluminous pegged leg pants are tricky to pull off. More times than not you end up looking like you swiped the pants right off the back of Bozo the Clown... yikes!
But when worn just the right way, as Erin O'Connor demonstrated on her way into the Vivienne Westwood Red Label Show during London Fashion Week, the end result is sublime.
Here's why...
