Style Superstar: Taylor Swift Kills It In Crimson At The Billboard Music Awards

Posted 5/25/12 12:38 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


We’ve been bestowing our Style Superstar honors for a while now, so for this week’s edition, we decided to switch it up a bit. Yes, we’ll still fill you in on Young Hollywood’s best and worst dressed, but since both ladies are two of our biggest crushes, we wanted to pen them letters of love as we break the big news. Read on to see who showed off some mean style and whose outfit was a little less than what we were expecting.

Dear Taylor,
You’re awesome. In the last few months alone, you sang on Ellen with Zac Efron, wrote some of "The Hunger Games" soundtrack and won two Grammys. We’d wish we could just be jealous and hate you, but when you wear an oh-so-sexy yet remarkably sweet showstopper like this red Elie Saab gown, we simply fall in love with you all over again. You always stay true to who you are even as you’re growing up, and we know that underneath that slicked straight coif is the same old small-town girl we’ve gotten to know through song over the last few years. Congrats on winning Style Superstar, yet again. We can’t wait until your next red carpet event!
XOXO,
Hollywood Crush

Style Superstar: Marion Cotillard Kills It At Cannes

Posted 5/18/12 4:30 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


Much as we love our American style icons, there's just something about European fashionistas that makes haute couture look even haute-er—and when it comes to pulling off bold style, daring dresses and shoes that speak for themselves, nobody puts it together quite like our favorite celebs from across the Atlantic when they're walking the red carpet at the renowned Cannes Film Festival. Whose unconventional combo had just the je ne sais quoi to score Style Superstar honors? Check out this week's contenders!

For effortless, eclectic style, it doesn't get any better than Marion Cotillard; the French beauty was a serious stunner at the Cannes Film Festival, in a dreamy peach chiffon dress with an eye-catching textured bodice. Marion kept her hair and makeup simple and accessorized with a gold belt and finished off with slingbacks in a matte Naples yellow. Not many celebs would have had the fashion intuition to put together such a perfect buffet of color, texture and weight, but our Style Superstar pulled it off like a pro.

Style Superstar: 'Battleship' Star Rihanna Goes Overboard In A Good Way

Posted 5/11/12 12:39 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


All hands were on deck for the L.A. premiere of "Battleship" this week, but the fun red-carpet looks from the film's stars were anything but military issue. (We could spend all day ogling Alexander Skarsgård in his perfectly tailored suit! Or, um, out of it.) And when it came time to pick this week's Style Superstar, there was no better place to look than amongst the crew members from the Earth's last stand against evil aliens! Who took home the honors by taking the notion of "dress whites" to a whole new level? And whose ethereal look was dead in the water?

Rihanna's wild white dress and halfway shaved hairstyle were the source of some conflict amongst fashion gossips...but one look at her walking the red carpet, and we're officially feeling the love. The unusual drape of this dress turned it into a show-stopper every time Rihanna moved, and her black-and-white accessories and bright pink lips were a perfect match for her edgy look. And while, okay, the hair is a little...odd, RiRi's ability to carry off unusual cuts is so much a part of her signature style, it's just not possible to hate it. This Style Superstar can sink our battleship anytime.

Style Superstar: Mischa Barton Twists Her Way To Top Honors

Posted 5/4/12 3:28 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


Sometimes, claiming the title of best-dressed means stepping outside your comfort zone—as the subjects of this week's style spotlight know only too well! But those who push the envelope in pursuit of untraveled fashion territory can sometimes push it too far, shooting right over the lines of Brave New World and arriving right in the center of Crazytown. Whose fresh take on fashion has catapulted her out of the worst-dressed doldrums and right into Style Superstardom? And who could use a little less daring-to-be-different on her next red-carpet outing?

This week's Style Superstar is rarely seen in the style-wild to begin with, and when she does make an appearance, it's more often than not on (alas) a list of fashion don'ts. But while this white silk dress with a twisty torso and unusual cutout sides is anything but a safe choice, Mischa Barton worked it like a pro at the Women for Women International Gala dinner this week. The actress emerged from her usual out-of-the-spotlight hiding place looking healthy and happy, opting for simple black shoes and a studded necklace to complement the complicated dress. And with bold, wine-red lipstick framing her smile, Mischa not only owned her daring duds but looked to be having a great time wearing them.

Style Superstar: Chloe Moretz Is An Age-Appropriate Stunner

Posted 4/27/12 4:15 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


For teenage celebs, the dress-related stress of making a public appearance comes with an extra challenge attached: How to dress up without dressing old. Fashion-conscious young stars have a fine line to walk when it comes to what they wear on the red carpet, and the most savvy ones take a lot of care to keep their wardrobe from maturing before they do! And this week, we've got two young ladies in our style spotlight—one with a youthful, flirty look that's as colorful as she is, and one whose attempt at a grownup transition ended up as a washed-out misstep. Who's on the radar for Style Superstardom?

It's Chloe Moretz who's this week's winner—sporting a dotty Kenzo dress in a bold, shiny violet fabric when she arrived to accept a Big Screen Achievement Award at CinemaCon. The actress has had trouble before in striking the right balance and dressing her age, but the event's award-winner for Female Star of Tomorrow's look is clearly on her game today: This ensemble is fun, flattering, and not too formal for the 15-year-old star. And since she's made the savvy choice to let the dress speak for itself, with nothing but soft hair and strappy shoes to complete the look, we've got to award Chloe props for fashion maturity along with her Style Superstar honors.

Style Superstar: Elizabeth Banks Has Primary Appeal

Posted 4/20/12 2:36 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


This year's political battles are heating up, but there was no partisan division of red and blue in this week's fashion arena. The well-dressed celebs featured this week wore their primary colors in perfect harmony, donning elegant red and blue looks that played perfectly when anchored with bold-hued shoes. Whose mismatched mish-mash of stylish separates would definitely win our vote? And whose peplum look is getting a veto this week? Read on!

Even before she was tapped to play the Capitol fashionista Effie Trinket in "The Hunger Games," Elizabeth Banks had a distinctive risk-taking style on the red carpet—and her eclectic pairing of these Peter Pilotto separates for the "Five Year Engagement" premiere is the perfect example. A pretty patterned top in combination with a lace overlay skirt makes for an eye-catching combination of textures and lines, while the complementary palette of both pieces keeps this look for getting too busy. Add a pair of deep blue pumps, sideswept hair, and subtle makeup, and Elizabeth had a memorable and creative casual look that makes her this week's Style Superstar!

Style Superstar: The Odds Are Ever In Jacqueline Emerson's Favor!

Posted 4/13/12 1:32 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


Colorful, crazy, complicated prints are a trendy hit this season, and we've seen no shortage of multi-colored mayhem—and sometimes even a wild animal or two—in the latest red-carpet looks of Hollywood's finest. But this week, two standout stylish ladies hit the circuit and wowed us not just with a couple of dresses in some perfectly frenzied prints, but with the cleverly coordinated choice of footwear that went with them! Who tied her look together from head to toe for Style Superstar honors? And who wasn't quite pretty in pink? Read on!

She may not have been front and center in her cinematic debut, but Jacqueline Emerson shone like a star in this Cynthia Rowley dress at the Nylon magazine anniversary celebration. The "Hunger Games" star scored big with her shimmering patterned minidress, featuring a fruits-and-flowers fabric, sleek silhouette and unusual sleeves. Subtle makeup and a shiny clutch complete her look—plus, she managed to match her satin shoes to both the subtle auburn accents in the fabric and her gorgeous red hair. That kind of color coordination could only be achieved by a true Style Superstar!

Style Superstar: Emily Blunt Is A Butter-Colored Beauty

Posted 4/6/12 2:45 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


It's springtime for fashion in Hollywood, and some of our favorite stars were looking on the bright side this week—in bold, bright yellow frocks that put a sunshiney spin on nighttime glamour. And today, two of these buttercup-colored looks were in contention for Style Superstardom! Which golden girl's casual cocktail chic won the honors? And whose lemony look could have used just a little more more-ness? Check it!

Emily Blunt is always a shoo-in for best-dressed with her effortlessly sophisticated style sense, and her look at the Elie Saab private dinner this week was no exception. Her yellow belted dress was a perfect fit, beautifully tailored, with a wide neckline that showed off just the right amount of skin. And while many gals would have been tempted to clutter this streamlined style with jewelry, Emily took a creative approach: accessorizing with pops of bold, bright red on her lips, fingers and toes. The result? A super-sleek look that makes this daytime color an evening standout.

Style Superstar: Ashley Greene Flaunts Legs And Leather

Posted 3/30/12 4:00 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


Spring has sprung, and fashion-conscious celebs are taking note! Gone are the dark, drab, heavy frocks of winter—jettisoned in favor of chic casual neutrals, exposed legs and vibrant pops of color. And this week, two lovely ladies broke out their best springtime style in the battle for Style Superstardom! Whose leather-centric look had us mooing (in a good way)? And who needs to peel back a layer or two to really celebrate the oncoming warmer weather? You know we've got the answers.

This week's Style Superstar? Ashley Greene, who looked seriously sophisticated when she made an appearance at the famous Macy's store in New York's Herald Square. Ashley sported a polished but casual combo by DKNY, showing off her lovely legs with a short leather A-line skirt and a pair of heels in the same shade of brown. And while leather bottoms can be tough to pull off (both figuratively and literally, now that we think about it), Ashley's choice of a tailored and feminine blouse in a searing orange-red was the perfect counterpart to her luscious leather skirt.

Style Superstar: AnnaSophia Robb Walks On The Wild Side

Posted 3/23/12 5:30 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar


Spring has sprung—especially when it comes to the red-carpet style on display this week at the launch of Salvatore Ferragamo's Signorina fragrance. Celebrity attendees posed in front of a giant wall covered top-to-bottom with sprays of pink roses, and almost everyone broke out their best and brightest Ferragamo duds to color the occasion. Who stood out like a Style Superstar? And whose look threatened to fade into the background? Check it.

AnnaSophia Robb only just scored the lead role in "Sex and the City" high-school reboot "The Carrie Diaries," but she's wasted no time decking herself out in designer duds that would do Carrie Bradshaw proud. The actress showed up in a flattering dress whose whimsical print really stood out from the crowd (and, more importantly, the busy pink background that all attendees were photographed in front of.) Few ladies could pull off a look quite this wild (ha! ha!), but AnnaSophia looked fresh-faced, comfortable, and fully in her element—and while the last lady to play Carrie B. left some seriously fashionable shoes to fill, those navy satin pumps are holding their own in a big way.
