Here’s a hint: Let’s guess which celebrities will be wearing Armani Prive on the red carpet

Paris Couture Fashion Week: Nothing like the tell-tale sign of gorgeousness as to which celebrities turned up clad in Armani at the Armani Prive Haute couture show in Paris as a subtle barometer of red carpets to come. And, that's a very good thing. The "red, white, black from a lacquer box" inspired looks are breathtaking.

Full disclosure: Pale pinks excessively worn on a grown-up woman makes my skin crawl. There, I've said it. Elizabeth and James Spring Jim Blazer and Pants in Tiger Lilly (at Shopbop). There has always been something about a woman of a certain age (post student years in this case) drowning in otherwise wimpy goo-goo-gaga colors that just sucks the va-va-voom out of her style and her presence. But take that same hue and amp up the volume and you have got one VERY hot color palette that is worthy of a second look. >> MORE: Color posts Fuchsia, poppy, American beauty, neon, hot pink, Tiger Lilly... these are NOT baby pinks or great-aunt Tilly's rose hue. It's the power shade

I'll Have What She's Having: Pale colors that don't wash out Almost always dressed to the nines in the most refined of uptown finery, Sarah Jessica Parker took a more demure route while attending the launch of Valentino's Virtual Museum in New York City and looked all the more radiant for it. MORE: Sarah Jessica Parker It's been a while since we've seen her let that stuffy undo she's been donning as of late down, but more so, it's her overall toned down look that really works for us. In a graphic dreamy floral vintage Pauline Trigère dress topped with a pale pink Valentino coat, she looks more approachable and less precious. And paired with classic yet ladylike sateen Manolo Blahnik

I'll Have What She's Having: The right dose of color and simplicity Even though the tired term 'Old Hollywood Glamour' opens the door to a snotty case of pungent remarks for us, it does however come to mind every so often when we spot an actress bringing it to us completely updated. Case in point was Amber Heard at the New York premiere for ‘The Rum Diary’ at the Museum of Modern Art wearing Jean Paul Gaultier. What worked was the surprising elegance of seeing a striking beauty covered head-to-toe in a pleated however figure defining black maxi dress that was simple in detail minus when she turned to reveal an open slit back. While we admire that the only glimpse of skin was saved for

All Hamptons… All Gossip… A Socialite and A Pink Birkin Bag

A lady's way to luxuty Brad Boles remains on the lose in The Hamptons spilling the bean$... and, yes, the overuse of the color pink can make me cringe, expect on Brad, of course. -- S.H. Action, Lights, No Camera... Polo in The Hamptons proved to be very interesting for me with the pink Birkin... ostrich of course. I know Sharon is probably upchucking the the thought of pink, but we both agree that the color can be chic on a MAN! I bumped into Tinsley Mortimer whom I haven't seen in a few months so I was very surprised to hear that she is not shooting any more for her reality shows We had a good laugh about what

How to Look Chic, Not Cheap. Paris Hilton in a Hot Pink Bikini OR When Paris Isn’t Always Chic

Two blondes, two Chanel classic flap bags, two red carpets, two cities... what in carnation went wrong?! Cardinal Fashion Rule #1: Just because you are wearing expensive things does not mean that you cannot look cheap I am the first to admit that we kinda love Paris Hilton for being the modern day Charo when it comes to hoochie-coochie styleŚ someone needs to be kooky colorful on the red carpet and it may as well be her. But as a fashion plate? Not so much. For all you label queens out there, sorry to report that looking chic is not always in the bag, no matter how luxurious that handbag may be. Marie-Josee Croze in Paris looks stunning and chic

The perils of pink… Going to extremes wearing one color

The perils of pink… Going to extremes wearing one color I have a pink wool peacoat that I bought for some reason last year. I am over 30 and a working professional. Can I get away with wearing pink? It looks great with my coloring, which is the only reason-- so far-- that I am keeping it. Or are pink coats better left for little girls? Thanks for your advice! (Zurich, Switzerland) You've really come to the wrong girl to extol the virtues of wearing pink. Pink is no longer a color, it's become a state of mind for some women. Yes, there are gorgeous shades of pink- dusty rose, that Schiaparelli shocking pink, rosebud, certain fuchsia's, blush, and men
