Kate Hudson

Style Shout-out

We can't decide which we like better: The sequined Pucci Kate Hudson wore to a Letterman taping, or the black-and-white Oscar de la Renta she donned to her Bride Wars premiere later that evening. So we're giving both looks a Style Shout-Out—and Kate major points for impressing us twice in one day!

Follow Kate's lead and pair the steals 'n' splurges below with opaque tights (you can swap them for bare legs in the spring). Scared of how your hips will look in prints? Click through the gallery to shop Shoshanna's empire-waist halter, which draws all the attention to your upper half.

Gossip Girl, Leighton Meester

In last night's episode of Gossip Girl, the drama finally overshadowed the fashion. But one item did stand out: Blair's Dior tote. She carried the Lady Dior Stamped Cannage bag in both red (pictured) and black. I'm of the same mind-set that if you really love something, you should buy it in different colors—but not when that something costs $1,690!

Granted, Blair does have an Upper East Side bank account. For the majority of us who don't, I suggest Kate Spade's more reasonably priced Tarrytown Quinn. This past weekend, I saw the tote on sale in gray at Bloomingdale's, but if you prefer to shop online, the pink one below also comes in Pacific blue and black.  

You can even clip on Juicy Couture's gold heart, which opens to a pot of gloss. It's much more practical than Blair's Dior logo charm but equally glam.

Nicole Richie, Joel Madden

Nicole Richie underwent several fashion incarnations before becoming the embodiment of boho glam. "I pretty much wear what I think is comfortable for me," she told mystyle at the grand opening of D&G's flagship boutique on Robertson Boulevard benefiting Art of Elysium.

Mystyle Style Class: Au Courant

"Grace Kelly and Audrey Hepburn are classy women who inspire me, but I also respect anyone who owns their style, like Kate Hudson and Kate Moss," she added.

The starlet, who arrived with beau Joel Madden, looked très magnifique in head-to-toe black. "I'm really into wearing miniskirts with opaque tights. That's kind of been my winter theme," dished the new mom, who is back to a size zero.

Nic's fave thing to wear while she was preggers? It wasn't the superchic Moschino LBD or even that glorious Roberto Cavalli halter gown. "I loved wearing my Balenciaga motorcycle pants with T-shirts—and when I got really, really pregnant, I wore Joel's shirts!" she laughed.

Victoria Beckham

Is Victoria Beckham dressing under the influence?

Tiny little thing, Victoria has hips like the stem of a wine glass, so why would she swaddle herself in a hot-air balloon? This skirt looks like it's gobbling Her Poshness whole. Perhaps it should be the other way around!

Christina Aguilera, Jordan Bratman

Christina Aguilera recently celebrated her 28th birthday, and given her track record, we expected lots of makeup and even more cleavage. Surprise! The girls were hidden and there was only one painted eye, thanks to the Clockwork Orange theme.

Normally, we despise bowler hats, but how adorable are Christina and hubby Jordan? The singer even added a personal touch to her Alex costume with high-heel booties and her signature colored pout.

Happy Belated B-day, Christina—and send us an invite next year, 'kay?

Body Type:
  • hourglass
  • long and lean

Molly Sims, Jaime King

Style Secret

Last year's colorblocking trend is still going strong. Black Halo, T-Bags and LaROK offer some of our favorite youthful, contrasting brights. But if you want a more sophisticated look, try a monochromatic multitone dress.

The subtlety of varying shades in a single color is mature, but still modern. I suggest buying one in spring's more understated hues: lavender or slate (bluish/gray). Any neutral will also work.

Just remember that the placement of the blocks will affect your body. A vertical split, like Molly Sims' Alberta Ferretti, elongates and adds height. A diagonal pattern, such as the one on Jamie King's Jason Wu, produces an hourglass shape. Shop both styles by clicking through the gallery below!

Both Lauren Conrad and Carmen Electra have worked floaty, flirty frocks on the red carpet, but one paid a great deal more for her white cloud of a dress.

Style Scene

Wearing a tiara on your birthday is so last year. But collecting one-of-a-kind crowns will never go out of style. In celebration of the 10th and final book in the Princess Diary series, celebrities, authors and designers decorated tiaras to be auctioned off through Jan. 31 to benefit New York teen programs.

Ruby

Hi, y'all!

It is the finale for the first season, and yes, I will let you follow along my journey till the end. Can you believe it? In seven months, I have lost 104 pounds! That averages out to be about 14 pounds a month; that is 1 pound every two to three days. YAY! I am hacky wacky about it. I still have over 200 pounds more to lose! WOW!

But I am determined to win for me and you! It is the hardest battle of my life. But this is the battle for my life. For the first time, I really got it! I really got it that this was killing—and will kill—me. It is not only about the weight, y'all, it's what having 10 to 100, to 200, to 300 extra pounds will do to you. The scary thing to me, even knowing this, is that I have to fight to beat this. This is an addiction!

Rese Pilates Activewear

StyleTest Drive

Having practiced yoga for many years, I thought my first Pilates class would be a cinch.  But I found it impossible to remember to tighten my abs, or "core" as it's called, for 45 minutes straight. Then Rese activewear, which supposedly helps maintain correct form, was recommended to me. So I decided to give Pilates another go, this time decked out in the "smart" apparel.
