Jennifer Lopez is looking amazing on 'American Idol' these days.

It was a skirt & top by Maria Lucia Hohan for her once and then she wore a neon pink Michael Kors Resort 2012 gown on another night.  You might remember the pink gown on Brooklyn Decker at the Met Ball last year (click here).

Alexa Chung wore a Bella Freud sweater with a flower print Celine Resort 2012 skirt at the Annual British Designers Collective in London with Nicholas Kirkwood loafers.

January Jones was busy in NYC, promoting the new season of 'Mad Men'; she stopped by the New York Times in a lacy top, khaki coloured leather skinnies and a blazer.  I like that she pulled her hair back on this occasion.

Looks like Diane Kruger is favouring the pyjama trend. She stepped out in West Hollywood in this pyjama-esque green shirt with white piping that she wore with cropped leather pants & nude pointy pumps - so effortless.

Olivia Palermo attended the Gala Spa Awards in a white Tibi gown with a plunging neckline - she kept her accessories simple to let the dress take centre stage.

Nicole Richie celebrated her cover of a magazine in a neutral Todd Lynn dress which looked good on her but was creased a little too much for my liking.  As usual, House of Harlow accessories and Louboutins completed her look.

Nicole stepped out in Miami for a little R&R in a pyjama-esque House of Harlow ensemble.  I think it's breezy and comfy, so appropriate for vacation wear.

Gwyneth Paltrow attended the Women in Film Pre-Oscars event in a jumpsuit by Band of Outsiders that had tuxedo-like lapels and a plunging neckline.  Her favourite Loree Rodkin necklace, and Jimmy Choo peep-toes completed the look.

Selena Gomez also attended the event in a dress by Ani Lee that had a bustier top and a skirt.  There's just something costume-y about this dress no? She looks like she's just jumped off the set of some Disney fairy movie.

Katy Perry is currently in the City of Lights as she attends shows during Paris Fashion Week.

For a lunch, Katy wore a Vera Wang Spring 2012 dress in a pale blue and paired it with a pink bag and nude sandals - it feels like a mismatch of things but at least the colours are pretty.

Then in the evening, she wore a Balmain mini dress with the signature markings of the label's dresses.  

By now you must know how much I detest her blue hair.

Kate Middleton did a charity event in a bright Missoni coat, which she wore with suede Rupert Sanderson pumps.  I love the addition of the bright daffodils.

Carrie Underwood wore an iridescent Oscar de la Renta Spring 2012 gown to an event.  Love this dress on her, but the hair-do feels too pageant-y.

Olivia Palermo attended a few events in NYC in an array of stylish outfits.

At a movie screening, she wore a white sheer blouse with a furry vest, skinny pants and feathered Louboutin boots. A cool panther pendant, gold bangles and a Lulu Guinness clutch completed her look.

Olivia arrived at the Carlo Pazolini party in cropped, metallic pants, a grey sweater & a leather sleeved jacket.  Accessories included a statement necklace, a bright yellow clutch and satin blue Manolo Blahnik pumps.

Beyonce stepped out for another Jay Z concert, in a sequined Monique Lhuillier dress which she wore with a furry Chanel clutch and ankle-strap heels.

Solange Knowles  attended the Carlo Pazolini store opening in NYC.  Loving her take on amping up neutral basics.

Camila Alves took in the Leila Shams show at NYFW in a cool black & neon mini by the designer, topping it with a leather jacket.  Wavy tresses, a large clutch and open-toe boots completed her look.


Paula Patton wore a sky blue Versus dress with cutout sleeves and an architectural skirt.  Something about the way the top sits on this dress really irks me, and I'm not a fan of it on Paula.

Sarah Jessica Parker attended a book launch in NYC in a grey shift dress which she wore with sheer polka-dot tights, a black blazer and a Chanel bag.  It's understated but so chic.

Angelina Jolie met with the German foreign minister in a white dress, worn with a matching belted coat.  Diamond earrings & nude peep-toes completed her elegant look.

Eva Longoria attended a ball in a Monique Lhuillier Spring 2012 gown.  The black gown with lace covered panels looked elegant on Eva.

Minka Kelly wore a red dress by Nonoo to a Bacardi event.  She opted for nude Brian Atwood pumps what a surprise.  Seriously, she needs a shoe-vention!

Jessica Alba made an appearance on 'The Wendy Williams Show' wearing a printed Anna Sui dress with tights and pumps. She never puts a stylish foot wrong!

Kristen Bell appeared on 'Good Day L.A.' in a colourful ensemble of a red blouse tucked into a floral Vanessa Bruno skirt.  Loving the colours but the black pumps are kind of killing this look.

 Ashley Tisdale attended the premiere of 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island' in a one-shoulder lace dress by Nightcap with a scalloped hem.  The dress is good, the styling is boring and honestly, a little tacky. 

Ashley Greene wore a purple shift by DKNY for Lucky magazine cover party.  The understated yet chic look works on Ashley.

 Miranda Kerr was spotted outside the Sydney Opera House in a printed silk dress that she wore with a thin belt & burgundy pumps.  I love this fresh, business-chic look.

Olivia Palermo strolled around NYC in a signature mix and match ensemble of a leather top, topped with a fur gilet and paired with leggings, suede boots.  The printed scarf and textured handbag add interest to the look.

 

Emmy Rossum wore a heart-print Anna Sui dress for Ashley Greene's Lucky magazine cover party - it's perfect for Valentine's Day no?

Michelle Obama wore a sparkly Michael Kors sweater with an icey blue J. Crew skirt for a TV appearance. Love the beaded belt and pink pumps!

Anne Hathaway attended an event in LA wearing this black, halter-neck black column dress which is doing no favours for her!  The styling is so-so too.

Elle MacPherson wore a Tom Ford Fall 2011 dress for the National Television Awards in London.  Between the severe, braided ponytail, statement earrings and the embellished dress, this is just a mess.

Emmy Rossum did a television show appearance in a gorgeous, fuschia coloured DKNY Pre-Fall 2012 frock with a tied top and pleated skirt that she wore with nude pumps.  I would have preferred to see the top fully tucked in though.

For another television appearance, she opted for a printed Peter Pilotto sheath which she wore with a ponytail, lots of eyeliner, a black bangle and black pumps.  Another winning ensemble.

Jessica Chastain attended the Armani Prive Spring 2012 Couture show in Paris wearing a dress by the brand.  Love this black dress with a beaded orange collar, it's quite unexpected on Jessica.  

Claire Danes, who was chosen as Harvard's Hast Pudding Woman of the Year wore a printed Oscar de la Renta frock for the ceremony.  This look was just screaming for a pop of colour right?

Olivia Palermo attended the Christian Dior Spring 2012 couture show in a cream coloured tunic & leather leggings which she accessorised with a statement necklace, a feather cuff, a bright clutch and black booties. 

Zoe Saldana promoted her new movie at the Sundance Film Festival in this cute jean-top-blazer combo that she spruced up with forest green Brian Atwood shoes.

Vanessa Minnillo wore a lacy black dress by Love Serpent, the red version of which we saw on Miranda Kerr in 2011 (click here).  It's a pretty dress and she wore it well.

Vanessa Hudgens is still in Australia, promoting her movie 'Journey 2: The Mysterious Island'.  She wore a cute, printed dress by Bec & Bridge for a photocall near the beach.  I'm giving the shades and the gladiator sandals a miss though.

Elizabeth Banks is currently stuck in an all black phase.  She did an interview in NYC this week wearing a brocade Andrew Gn Spring 2012 coat which she wore it with tights, Tabitha Simmons ankle-boots, and a rather random red Prada bag.

She attended the premiere of 'Haywire' in a Theyskens' Theory fringe dress, topped with a strong shouldered jacket and gold accessories.

 Kate Beckinsale was, yes, pretty in pink in LA.  The 'Underworld Awakening' actress did an interview in the rosy pink sheath worn with a swingy ponytail, chandelier earrings and caramel coloured pumps.

Rachel McAdams did a radio show in London for 'The Vow' in a cute LBD that had a leather Peter Pan collar and pleated skirt.  She wore a black coat from  

The Row Fall 2011 line.  Love those Brian Atwood 'Grace' heels with a thin ankle-strap and ruffles (click here for a better look).

Rosie Huntington Whiteley exited a building in Brazil in a super stylish ensemble of a sequined loose shirt worn with leather pants, shades, cap-toe shoes and her blue Birkin.

Jessica Alba appeared at the SiriusXM studio in NYC in a menswear inspired outfit of a white bomber worn with loose fitting black pants.  Not a fan of this outfit on her, and that red belt is annoying.

Paula Patton made two appearances this week.

She wore a navy blue, zip-front mini to the premiere of 'Joyful Noise' with colourful, printed heels (which don't really go with the dress but at least she tried).

Later, at a party, Paula wore a skintight leather mini with a scoop-neck & lace rimmed hemline.  She looks like she's trying too hard here, and look comes off as tacky.

Carey Mulligan wore an ombre, tasseled dress from the Lanvin Resort 2012 line to the National Board of Review Awards Gala.  Love this dress on Carey, who wore it with matching mauve Sergio Rossi shoes.

Kerry Washington attended the Disney/ABC TCA event in a sparkly Jenny Packham Spring 2012 mini.  The gold sequined dress with cutout shoulders is lovely but the sleeves are hanging off her arms, which makes the look sloppy.

Jessica Alba was seen doing the striped sweater-animal print scarf look in LA.  She wore a beanie, shades, black boots & carried a gorgeous green Rebecca Minkoff purse.

 Minka Kelly dined out in LA wearing a light grey pleated maxidress with gold accessories.

Taylor Swift wore yet another princess-style gown, this one by Reem Acra, at the Nashville Symphony Ball - an updo completed her look.

Sofia Vergara announced the Screen Actors Guild Awards wearing a fresh, halter-neck dress by David Meister.  She wore it with turquoise earrings & nude Casadei pumps.

Leelee Sobeiski attended the NYC premiere of 'Iron Lady' in a navy dress with a fluted skirt by Alaia; I love the micro-scalloped hemline.  Leelee wore it with tights and black boots, I think some statement accessory was desperately needed here - maybe a bracelet or a clutch?

Chanel Iman hosted a party in NYC, wearing a cute Valentino mini.  The dress had a sheer, polka-dot top that had a pearl-encrusted collar which was contrasted with a leather skirt.

Kate Mara attended the NYC premiere of sister Rooney's movie, 'The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo' in a pink Christian Dior dress.  It was flirty, feminine and suited Kate.

Whitney Port attended an event by Very.com in a cute winter outfit: a knit-sweater, worn with tweed pants and this all was made festive via sparkles.

Kate Middleton made waves by opting for a printed Zara frock, while attending a concert at the Royal Albert Hall.  Even though the jacket, tights, pumps, simple hair are all very signature K.Middleton, the hemline has gone up by a few inches than usual!

Jessica Chastain wore a Louis Vuitton Spring 2012 dress at the Marrakech Film Festival.  The colour is pretty on her but the shiny, slightly creased material is unsightly.

Dianna Agron attended the Trevor Live event in a halter dress with an embellished neck.  A pompadour hairstyle added interest to her look but otherwise her black accessories felt uninspiring.

Olivia Palermo wore a sequined Marchesa dress with three-quarter sleeves to the Valentino Garavani digital museum opening.  As usual, her accessories worked their magic:  the Valentino heels are lovely as is the pink clutch.

Elizabeth Olsen looked swish in NYC, in a crisp, white button down tucked into high-waisted grey trousers.  A blowout, shades & leather pumps completed her city look.

Felicity Jones attended a party by Bulgari, in a high-neck blouse paired with a tough looking leather skirt.  Such a simple look but done so well.

Katy Perry attended the Grammy nominations event in a lacy pink Dolce & Gabbana strapless column gown but her pink hair just killed the look that could have worked well.

Amber Heard was at the Bahamas Film Festival, also wearing a summery Dolce & Gabbana dress.  The white dress with a nude coloured belt was matched with her peeptoes.

Angie Harmon wore a shimmery Jean Fares couture dress to the Snowflake Ball in NYC.  This dress is very socialite-esque (think Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian) and just does not suit Angie.

Alessandra Ambrosio wore a plunge-neck Balmain mini to the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show viewing party.  As hot as she looks, the hair & accessories are just falling flat.

Jessica Alba looked super stylish wearing straight-leg red jeans by Kate Spade New York while on a coffee run in LA, with a white tee, black blazer, gold necklace and black boots.

Jessica Biel stepped out in London wearing orange separates with a blue coat and blue caged heels.  As much as I love the bright colours, the orange on orange just makes me think of prison.

Jennifer Lopez changed into a silver Emilio Pucci mini with full sleeves, at the AMA after party - legs!

Gemma Arterton attended an awards night in London, in a studded Balmain top, leather bottoms & a Viktor & Rolf tuxedo jacket.  The clutch matched the top, way to make a statement.

Heidi Klum launched her jewellery line at a Beverley Hills hotel wearing a crisp white button-down with an animal-print pencil skirt and patterned heels.

Sofia Vergara wore a Roberto Cavalli mini at a party, with gold accessories.  I wish she'd not carried that clutch, it's an awkward size.

Miranda Kerr walked around NYC looking super chic in leather pants, a grey peacoat worn with a printed scarf.  She wore comfy black flats and carried her favourite burgundy Celine tote.

Gisele Bundchen promoted a shampoo line in Brazil wearing a white sheath, with a black jacket and pumps - her hair was the centre of attraction, which was appropriate seeing she was promoting a shampoo brand.

Drew Barrymore attended the MoMa Film Benefit wearing a feather-print maxi by Chanel, topped with a bolero jacket.  A simple hairstyle, red lips & a chain-strap bags were the finishing touches.

Amy Adams kept things classy at a book launch, in a metallic, ruched sheath by Dolce & Gabbana - worn with an updo, bright lips and caramel pumps.

Zooey Deschanel worked her quirky vibe, in a vintage dress at the GQ Men Of The Year party, which she wore with sparkly Miu Miu pumps, and her signature tights of course.

Nikki Reed wore a bright yellow Jenni Kayne shirt-dress for the launch of her cover with Seventeen magazine.  She kept things laid back with wavy hair and neutral pumps.

Freida Pinto attended a L'Oreal event in Paris, wearing a rich gold Ralph Lauren dress, worn with a Balmain jacket.  Black flats and an updo completed her chic evening look.

Shailene Woodley wore a floral, sweetheart Dolce & Gabbana frock for the premiere of 'The Descendants' along with satin pumps & a messy updo.

Sienna Miller wore a black romper from her fashion line Twenty8Twelve at a party in London, and went very chic with her updo, gold hoops and heels.  The hairstyle was a welcome change from her usually messy hair.

Zoe Saldana brightened up the Lanvin party in LA, by wearing a colour block fringe dress by the label, with cool ankle-strap heels and an even cooler statement necklace.

Kate Bosworth & Rachel Bilson partied with their favourite jacket designer: Vanessa Bruno.

Kate looked stylish in an embroidered white shift, worn with volumised hair, a delicate shoulder bag, tights and heels.

Rachel Bilson's outfit didn't quite work out.  The olive coloured blouse & jacket are all fine, but the boy shorts and berry coloured boots are ruining this look.

The 'Twilight: Breaking Dawn Part 1' promotional tour continues.

Ashley Greene was in Chicago in simple white sheath, worn with a sleek ponytail, a black box clutch and red lips; but the shoes aren't working: too pointy!

Nikki Reed stuck to her breezy style, in a polka-dot Dolce & Gabbana frock, she too wore pointy black pumps, how disappointing.

Nicole Richie promoted her line, Winter Kate, at Nordstrom in a floaty-sleeve, printed mini from the line, and added colour and interest via the citrus satin pumps.

Emma Stone attended the Museum of Natural History gala in a persimmon hued Carven maxidress, paired with a large, moss coloured clutch.  As cute as she looks, the empire waist of the dress isn't flattering, and that clutch is too large & too casual.  But the colourful Tabitha Simmons heels are spot on.

Selena Gomez was spotted at Disney do, wearing a one-shoulder grey mini with a cutout, wearing it with gold hoops & t-strap heels - so simple yet striking.

Kerry Washington graced the photographers a lot this week, first in Marc Jacobs ensemble, and then at a L'Oreal event.  She wore a gold silk Ralph Lauren gown with gold & black beads, a chunky clutch and glossy, side-parted hair.

Also at the L'Oreal bash, was Andie McDowell, in a sparkly gold David Meister gown - she let the dress do the talking and went jewellery-less.  Straight hair & apricot coloured lips completed her gorgeous look.

Julianna Marguiles attended the event in a lovely, berry-hued draped dress, worn with strappy heels.  

Ashley Greene surprised me in a positive manner by wearing a cobalt blue Vera Wang dress with a draped one-shoulder at an Avon event.  Love the retro hairstyle and even the black pumps look alright!

Olivia Palermo attended the Princess Grace Foundation Gala in NYC last week, dressed in a satin, peach coloured Rochas dress.  I love the addition of the Giorgio Armani stole, vibrant earrings and matching Charlotte Olympia heels. Inspired.

Also at the Princess Grace Foundation Gala was Olivia Munn - dressed in head-to-toe Calvin Klein.  Love the metallic silver shade on her skintone.

Lea Michele wore yet another white dress, by Versus, at a Christian Louboutin event.  She added grey ankle booties to the mix, which make her feet look wide.  Some sleek pumps/strappy heels would've done the job.

 

Rosie Huntington Whiteley also attended the Louboutin do, in a high-neck,vintage blouse with a keyhole neck along with leather pants and gold cap-toe pumps.  I dislike the blouse, but otherwise the look is flawless.

Kerry Washington was spotted at the Keep A Child Alive Black Ball, in a white tulle Donna Karan number.  As much as I like the quirky dress, Kerry's choice of shoes & clutch aren't working, neither is the make-up.

Tyra Banks attended the event in a bright purple David Meister fishtail-hem gown.  Love the sleek bun, bright lip and dangly earrings.

Padma Lakshmi donned a barely mint Alberta Ferreti dress with some mismatched ethnic jewellery, not her best look.
