Ashley Olsen Takes Casual to Couture

An outfit that looks this effortless probably required a lot of thought, but I love how Ashley Olsen manages to make such a casual outfit look so chic. Here's Ashley looking her usual fabulous self at the Everywhere at Once cocktail party and screening. From the knees up, Ashley's look is way laid back, just a grey sweater paired with a simple black skirt. But what takes the look from fashionably safe to fashionably forward is Ashley's choice of shoe. Gladiator sandals are big this season (specifically this pair, Balenciaga's tie-dye gladiator), and Ashley Olsen shows us exactly how to work them. Who knew what a difference a shoe could make?

Dear Jennifer Hudson, Leggings Are Not Pants

First off, let me begin with saying that I'm a fan of leggings. When done right, they help add trendiness to an outfit, and can quickly pull a look together. But, I'm not a fan of leggings worn with tops that don't cover the hips. Jennifer Hudson, pictured on her way through an airport, shows us just why leggings worn with a too short top just aren't flattering. Leggings are not pants, so to avoid risk of camel toe and other indecent-ness, lol you've got to pair them tops that at least hit at the top of your thighs. Tights are still a trend that's in season; just be careful when you add them to your wardrobe.

Check My Footwork...Gwyneth Paltrow Edition

Gwyneth Paltrow's got a new movie coming out (Iron Man), so with that comes lots of promotional events. And with promotional events come Gwyneth dressed in fabulous outfits. If you can take your eyes off of her great ensembles, check out Gwyneth's footwork. Clearly, when it comes to shoes, Miss Paltrow (or Mrs. Martin if you're nasty, lol) likes her heels high and skinny. What better way is there? If you want to get your strut on like Gwyneth, a shoe with both a platform and a stiletto heel will work wonders. The stiletto heel lengthens the leg, while the platform with give you some extra height. Here are a few of my Gwyneth inspired selections below.

Say What? Amy Winehouse is Roberto Cavalli's New Muse?

The fashion world's abuzz with rumors that Amy Winehouse has been offered a deal with designer Roberto Cavalli. Per the rumored agreement, Winehouse would receive Cavalli's creations for free as long as she wore them to high profile events. Fashion houses make these types of deals with celebrities all the time, but is Amy Winehouse, in her current state, who you want to represent your brand? I'm not going to knock the hustle though, if Cavalli wants Amy, then so be it, lol. I'm sure you're wondering how this match up came to be. Well, apparently, Victoria Beckham, whom Cavalli dressed for the Spice Girls tour, mentioned to the designer that she like Amy's unique style. Who knew that being on Posh's radar could be so lucrative?

Pink Lady?...No, It's Mariah Carey

Mariah Carey looked like an extra from Grease as she arrived at the Four Seasons hotel in Paris (we'll let it slide that this is the same outfit she wore on the premiere of The Hills). Mimi's in the city of lights to do some promotion for her latest album, E=MC². You know, many have dogged Mariah's look saying it's both dated and too young for her. I'm willing to give her a bit of a break though, because she missed out on being able to enjoy her twenties. But let's just hope that after a while, Mariah will let her stylist come up with a new look, lol. If you've got the diva attitude to pull off a Mariah look, just pair a form fitting dress (check out American Apparel) with a leather bomber jacket. You might even work it better than Miss Carey herself ;) .

Rachel's Got A Brand New Bang!

One of the easiest ways to make a dramatic change to your hair is to get bangs. It's a simple change, but it often makes a big difference. Rachel Bilson showed off her new hair at the Japanese premiere of her new movie, Jumper. I'm a Rachel Bilson fan, and I think she has one of the best celebrity styles. She hardly ever goes wrong when it comes to fashion, but is she as on point when it comes to hair? I think so; personally I love her bangs, but what to you think?

Surprise! The Kardashian Sisters Actually Have Day Jobs

I bet you didn't know that besides being socialites and party hopping, the Kardashian sisters-- Kim, Khloe, and Kourtney, actually have a day job. They're co-owners of Dash, a boutique located in Calabasas, CA. The ladies celebrated the launch of the store's website, shopdashonline.com. Held at the boutique, the celebration mostly inlcuded friends and family. See, not all celebrity socialites are freeloaders, lol. If you're in the California area, check out Dash. You may get actually get to meet one of the sisters.

Victoria Beckham and Marc Jacobs, Together Again

Victoria Beckham is not only posing for Marc Jacobs in his spring ad campaign, she's getting naked for him too. Victoria is posing nude for Marc as a part of his campaign to bring awareness to skin cancer. Of her decision to participate in the campaign, Victoria had this to say:

“Since we moved to California I have realised how important it is to practise safe sun for myself and to keep my three boys’ skin well protected as well. Skin cancer is a huge problem and I really wanted to help raise awareness by taking part in Marc’s initiative.”

Seems charity is big in Hollywood right now. First there was Hayden and her whales, and now there's this. I can't knock the hustle though, sometimes putting a celebrity face behind a cause brings awareness to those who may have otherwise never taken notice. If you'd like to purchase one of Victoria's shirts for Marc Jacobs, they'll be on sale starting next week in all Marc Jacobs stores.
