Hollywood Crush › Fashion & Style

We might be in the depths of mid-winter, but that didn't stop Hollywood's stylish ladies from hiking up their hemlines at various events this week. From premieres to parties to charity events, from New York to L.A., there were lots of lovely legs to be seen walking the red carpet. And this week, we picked two of our favorite leggy looks for Style Superstar consideration.

Keke Palmer busted out this one-strap Guishem minidress for the "Think Like a Man" premiere this week, managing to look collected and classy despite a super-high hemline that would have most ladies doing the Nervous Tugdown all night. And Keke, a veteran sporter of ultra-short skirts, knew better than to go overboard with accessories on such a subtle winner; simple long locks, sleek black shoe, and one big sparkler of a cocktail ring were all that was needed to set off the leather accents at the shoulder and waist. We don't know if this girl can think like a man, but she can certainly dress like a superstar!

As colors go, gray can get a bad rap for being dull and drab. Gray skies? Blah. Gray days? Gloomy. But when it comes to sophisticated style, a mist-colored gown can make for one colorful statement—as demonstrated by a pair of "Glee"-ful girls at the SAG Awards last Sunday. There was nothing grim or ghostly about these gray ladies as they walked the red carpet in two of the evening's most stunning looks. Whose gray glimmer was a cut above the rest of the palette? And whose leggy look cut a little too deep?

Naya Rivera was a stone-cold stunner when she took to the red carpet in this Naeem Kahn gown, winning Style Superstar honors with subtle sparkle, a plunging neckline and a classic silhouette. The almost-lavender gray of the dress is a perfect complement to the warm bronze tones in Naya's skin, and this understated look—with soft waves and only the barest accessories—is sophisticated without being showy.

It’s even scarier than Voldemort: Daniel Radcliffe’s first post-"Potter" film, "The Woman in Black," opens today, and we’re all pretty psyched for the dark drama. Even the spooky rhyming commercial advertisements are terrifying—there is going to be some serious watching-between-your-fingers, feet-up-on-the-chair action going on in theaters. But while Daniel may appear terrified of the "Woman in Black," we know a few women in black who are anything but frightening. We've rounded up some of our favorite celebrity fashionistas, who show us that basic black is sexy—not scary. See our entire gallery by clicking on the image below!

From Angelina Jolie’s iconic dominatrix-inspired leather ensemble to Lucy Hale and Selena Gomez’s recent playful cut outs, these starlets are conjuring up plenty of accolades. Even sparkle and fun country cutie Taylor Swift knows that when you want to go high glam, you go with black, as she did in a dramatic gown with a plunging neckline during the 2009 Grammy festivities. Then there's perennial red-carpet darling Lea Michele, who may be known for her bold fashion choices but couldn't resist the lure of becoming a woman in black when she slipped on a lace design with a sheer overlay, perfectly modeling a Karl Lagerfeld number during Paris Fashion Week—so incredibly chic.

Fashionably speaking, the SAG awards are the funnest of all awards-season celebrations—a night when the stars relax, unwind and break out some of their more unusual red-carpet looks to celebrate each other's achievements over the past year. And now that the awards have been handed out, it's time for us to give out our own honors to the actresses who best dressed for the occasion. Whose bright, bold and brave style choices caught our fancy last night?

Bright fuchsia frocks have made for many a bridesmaid nightmare, but Dianna Agron was seriously pretty in pink when she wore this Carolina Herrera dress to the awards last night; her sweet braided up-do and light blue jewelry offset the bold color beautifully. And she wasn't the only one sporting a gown in an eye-catching candy color; Emily Blunt showed up in this one-shoulder Oscar de la Renta number with an up-to-there slit and in a hue that reminds us of lemon-lime Jolly Ranchers...in a good way.

Lace isn't just for lingerie—as any style-conscious lady who's fond of the versatile fabric can tell you. And this week, a pair of Hollywood's favorite fashionistas showed up on our radar sporting all-over lacy looks that ranged from sweet and sophisticated to seriously sexy. Whose ultra-feminine dress was a perfect complement to her latest romantic role? And who took one major plunge with a scalloped neckline and sheer sleeves? Check 'em out in today's Style Superstar.

Rachel McAdams made for one pretty picture at the photocall for "The Vow," where she scored Style Superstardom in this Colette Dinnigan dress featuring delicate black lace in a creeping damask pattern. The nude-colored underslip is so identical to Rachel's skin tone that it gives casual lookers quite a trompe-l'oeil double take, but the sweet little sleeves and longer hemline keep it lacy, not racy. The only thing more romantic is the movie she's promoting.

It's no secret that "Hunger Games" fans are starving for something—anything!—that can take the edge off their anticipation while they wait out the last two months until March 23, when (gaaaaahhhh!) the Games begin. And if you're thinking that there's no better way to kill time than a frilly, flippant fashion mag...well, the gamemakers themselves are right there with you. And if you're looking for us between now and "The Hunger Games" premiere, you can find us curled up on the couch with the long-awaited online issue of Capital Couture!

The site, which first sprang up as a mysterious, mostly-bare template in early January, seems to be coming straight from the Capitol itself—where, of course, image is everything and the tributes are talked about in a markedly condescending tone. And so far, Capital Couture is seriously in character, making good with grooming tips from Effie, "stylist wanted" ads, spotlights on some of the most fantastic fashion to be featured in the film, and a handful of contemporary pieces that showcase that dystopian look. (Who else is dying to snag these Alexander McQueen heels to wear to an opening day screening?!)

After last week's focus on the fashion of the People's Choice Awards, we were psyched to get a fresh batch of photos from yet another awards celebration: this time featuring the gorgeous gals and glam gowns of the Golden Globes. And after Jennifer Lawrence dominated the last Style Superstar honors with her cerulean dress, we couldn't help getting the blues again this week—in a good way! Because one actress' navy number took home the style gold, while another's cobalt cocktail dress left us cold.

Style Superstar Emma Roberts might be a teeny-tiny lady, but she made one big statement at the Golden Globes afterparty in this elegant Zac Posen dress with perfectly placed cutout accents. The cascading ruffles and fan-like seaming made this gown a standout, even by red-carpet standards, and Emma's soft updo goes beautifully with its 1930s vibe. (And man, you should see the back. Meow!)

For the fashion-focused, there's no better time than awards season—when stylish stars of all shapes and sizes emerge in their best, boldest and (sometimes) most delightfully wacky get-ups. And this week, our best and worst dressed conveniently showed up at the very same event! Whose People's Choice outfit was...well, one choice outfit? And whose style statement turned out to be misinformed? Read on, yo.

There was no question this week as to who won the honors for most styling' superstar of all: Jennifer Lawrence showed up to the People's Choice Awards in this Victor and Rolf dress, and it was all over. It's a bold and unusual design—in fact, with those swirling cobalt whorls (which are artfully arranged on the bodice to cover essential ladyspots), it almost looks like it belongs on a District 4 contestant in "The Hunger Games" movie!—but Jennifer is a bold and unusual girl, and she's wearing the hell out of it. And with smoky eyes, sleek hair and minimal jewelry, she's style-savvy enough to let the dress speak for itself. Or, in the words of the ghostly Templar knight from "Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade": She chose...wisely.

Kristen Stewart has a lot on her 2012 plate—being a badass vampire in "Breaking Dawn - Part 2," bedding a beatnik in "On the Road" and battling evil in "Snow White and the Huntsman"—but don't think that will stop her from taking on yet another (albeit very different) role.

Women's Wear Daily has the skinny on where to spot Kristen next: as the new face of Balenciaga Scent! The actress, despite being known for her relative down-to-earth-ness when it comes to high-end fashion, described the Balenciaga brand as one of the few she's always found recognizable and expressed her delight at being on board... well, as enthusiastically as Kristen ever expresses anything, calling it "just cool." (What can we say; the girl's not a gusher.)

By now, you've had ample time to see the sad photographic evidence confirming that Robert Pattinson has, indeed, shaved off his luscious locks into an ultra-short buzz cut. (In fan circles, this is also known as ample time to scream, sob, mourn and then scream some more.) But getting such up-close and personal insight into the exact shape and size of Rob's head got us thinking: what would happen if everyone in the "Twilight" cast gave themselves a close-cropped shave?

The easiest answer, obviously, is A LOT MORE SCREAMING AND CRYING. But after some speculative Photoshopping, surprisingly enough, some of these guys—and girls!—don't look half bad with a buzz cut. And while we'd like to urge Peter Facinelli not to lose his lovely locks anytime soon (not because it looks awful, but because that new hairline makes him look too weirdly similar to Patrick Wilson), and also Kristen Stewart (um, lady? Is your head really shaped like that?!) some of the other stars just might want to tote this gallery of what-ifs along to their next salon appointments. Especially you, Ashley Greene.
