This Week's Fab Five

Posted by babu 11:52am GMT

This week was all about dainty details. And the winners are...

Eva Mendes in Andrew Gn at the "Last Night" premiere in Toronto. Proving we've come a long way from the days of Austin Powers, Eva shows that velvet, when sophisticated in color and proportion, can be dead sexy, baby.

Odette Yustman in J. Mendel Resort at the "You Again" premiere in Los Angeles. Ever since Michelle Williams reintroduced ochre to the red-carpet coloring box at the 78th Annual Academy Awards, stars can't seem to get enough of the seedy hue-and it's easy to see why. Delicate draping and an off-the-shoulder neckline add an old fashioned feel to this chiffon gown, which happens to be my personal favorite of the five.

Eva Longoria Parker in Georges Rech at the Par Coeur Gala 2010 in Paris. Fit for a seductress, this gown oozes sex appeal from lacy, scalloped neckline to train. The tawny shade of the silk underlay serves as a richer, fall-forward take on nude.

Kristen Bell in Valentino at the "You Again" premiere in Los Angeles. Part sassy, part sweet, this lemondrop of a dress is right on cue with Kristen's flirty approach to style. She gets bonus points for mixing things up with an edgy, studded clutch and matching nude sandals.

Blake Lively in Zuhair Murad on the "Gossip Girl" set. While this look wasn't worn to an event, it was modeled on the red carpet that is the "Gossip Girl" set. A combination of charcoal-grey lace, drapery and exquisite beading, the decolletage-bearing sensation is sure to be a scene-stealer. Watch out Blair Waldorf!

Style Showdown: Blake Lively vs. Ashley Greene

Posted by babu 5:29pm GMT

Back in May, I featured this pic (above left) of Ashley Greene in her Antonio Berardi dress and asked Insiders to vote on whether peekaboo dresses account for a trend or foe.

Apparently, Blake Lively would vote trend, considering she wore an all-black version of the same lacy sensation at "The Town" premiere in Boston just several months later.

I like this dress in both colors, on both ladies, so this one's a toss-up for me.

This Week's Fab Five

Posted by babu 1:56pm GMT

This week was all about texture and sparkle. And the winners are...

Michelle Williams glowing in Jason Wu at the Venice Film Festival. Between the chiffon bow along the neckline and allover beading, this champagne-colored gown (from the designer's Resort 2011 collection) is the epitome of glam.

Leighton Meester rocking a teal Versus mini with cutouts at Fashion's Night Out: The Show. The "Gossip Girl" star's Christian Louboutin ankle boots add a sporty kick to this edgy number.

Dianna Agron posing in Carolina Herrera at the "Glee" Season 2 screening premiere in Los Angeles. The bright yellow hue and bold, black embroidering along the neckline offer a fresh take on this otherwise retro dress.

Blake Lively sparkling in Chanel at the Chanel Soho Boutique Re-Opening. While, at first glance, I didn't quite know what to make of this dress, it didn't take me long to fall for the deep shades of purple and allover sequin detailing. It's definitely a new look for the actress.

Rachel Bilson sporting Chanel at the Chanel Soho Boutique Re-Opening. Long pieces of black and white fringe add more dimension to the otherwise flat color and shape of this dress.

Red-Carpet Recap: Fashion's Night Out: The Show

Posted by babu 12:11pm GMT

In celebration of Fashion Week (which officially kicks off tomorrow and boasts a huge Fashion's Night Out celebration throughout the city and beyond Friday), stars attended Fashions Night Out: The Show last night in New York.

Judging from last night's duds, some of my Fashion Week wardrobes to watch include those of Leighton Meester (shown in an edgy, teal cutout bustier dress from Versus), Blake Lively (who pushed her usual style limits in a tribal-print number from Marchesa) and Fashion Week favorite Olivia Palermo (who looked flirty in a floral, off-the-shoulder dress paired with a peony clutch).

Red-Carpet Recap: "Twelve" Screening in New York

Posted by babu 5:34pm GMT

The Cinema Society & 2(x)ist hosted a screening of "Twelve" in New York last night, where the red-carpet styles ranged from urban and edgy (� la Jessica Szohr) to "Gossip Girl"–worthy prep (� la Amanda Setton).

Blake Lively opted for a navy Chanel dress with a sheer midriff stamped with what appear to be daisies (definitely DTW-worthy).

Dare to Wear: Blake Lively

Posted by babu 10:33am GMT

Everyone's favorite "Gossip Girl" flasher Blake Lively was at it again during at the San Diego Comic Con event in California this past weekend.

The actress, who wore a revealing black and white blouse and pant combo from the Preen Resort 2011 collection, was there to promote her upcoming film "Green Lantern."

Dare to Wear: Blake Lively, Again

Posted by babu 3:33pm GMT

You'd look angry too if you had to wear a circus suit during mid-day in Manhattan.

Blake Lively threw onlookers for a loop (for the second day in a row) while wearing this tribal print gown with mermaid-worthy, blue jewel detailing around the collar and waist.

To make matters worse, the dress (from Jenny Packham) featured awkward cutouts in between and beside Blake's breasts. Like a woman who's been dubbed "Boobs Lively" in the blogosphere needs any more attention called to her, well, you know.

Dare to Wear: Blake Lively

Posted by babu 2:46pm GMT

Blake Lively looked like she'd just rolled out of bed while filming "Gossip Girl" on the Upper West Side yesterday.

The actress rocked a striped button-up, cutoffs and (randomly enough) a brown silk scarf. She topped off her already peculiar look with knee socks, boots and bedhead.

In Serena van der Woodsen's Closet

Posted by babu 5:16pm GMT

Easy, breezy, beautiful Blake Lively. The actress was back to her boho, on-screen self while dressing the part of Serena van der Woodsen in Paris for "Gossip Girl" Season 4.

Some of my favorite, type "S" looks to have surfaced so far (from left to right) include:

-a sparkle-clad, Georges Chakra Spring 2010 Couture dress made street-friendly with a menswear blazer, oxfords and a fedora (note: from what I've seen, it appears Serena is going to be experimenting with hats A LOT in the new season)
-a mint green, ruffled wrap-dress from Haute Hippie, paired with beaded sandals and a nude tote
-a sequined Emilio Pucci blazer thrown over a white tank paired with bright blue, tapered Chloe pants
-high-waisted, wide-legged pants by Suno, paired with a tank in a similarly peachy shade and a taupe tote

This Week's Fab Five

Posted by babu 5:15pm GMT

This week was all about Paris Fashion Week Haute Couture F/W 2011. And the winners are...

Olivia Palermo in Valentino. The black and white watercolor print on this chiffon gown is classic. It gets bonus points for the oversized bow.

Jessica Alba wearing Valentino. Between the rich, red color and layered ruffles along the neckline and side, this gown exudes romance.

Gwyneth Paltrow rocking Valentino. Netting along the collarbone adds an edgy touch to this otherwise soft, champagne gown.

Claire Danes in Valentino Couture. The neon yellow ruffles throughout this multi-tiered gown are right on trend for the season. I also like how the actress keeps her accessories to a minimum and let's the dress speak for itself.

Blake Lively in Chanel. From Blake's colorful earrings to her T-strap platforms, this look has fresh and flirty written all over it.
