Style Superstar: Audrey Tautou Has A Win In The Can At Cannes

Posted 5/24/13 12:30 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

Yes, this is the second week in a row that we're bringing you a Style Superstar direct from France...and no, we're not sorry. (We also can't help it, really: the Cannes Film Festival is still going on, and everyone is there.) And today, our featured fashionista is the Mistress of Ceremonies herself: Cannes festival hostess Audrey Tautou, who flounced her way to the top of our best-dressed list with this silver party dress.

Ruffles, tiers, texture and shine: There's a lot going on for this little dress, which Audrey wisely paired with nude shoes, simple makeup and only a teensy box clutch in terms of accessories. We love the way her short, unfussy pixie cut shows off the teensy spaghetti-strap neckline and contrasts with all that metallic glitz, making this look the perfect mix of glam and gamine. Style Superstar? Mais oui, cheri.

Style Superstar: Emma Watson Goes Glam At Cannes

Posted 5/17/13 11:12 am EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

Our Style Superstar could only be found at Cannes this week—and not just because all the most well-dressed celebs are gathered there right now, either. In addition to being a magnet for fashionable famous people, the film festival in the south of France also marks one of the first times in a while that we've seen Emma Watson really pull out all the stops to dress for a glamorous red carpet. And aren't we so glad that she did?

In a word: yes! Oh, Emma. We've missed you, girl. And this dress encapsulates all the reasons why: It's simple, elegant, modern, with just the right amount of glitz to keep it interesting. That sequined bustier bodice above that cream silk skirt? Perfection. And with minimal jewelry and a simple chignon, it—and the woman wearing it—really shines.

Style Superstar: Dakota Fanning Wings It At The Met Ball

Posted 5/10/13 3:10 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

We've already posted once about the superlative looks from Monday night's big gala at the Met—where all the pretty little starlets busted out their weirdest wigs, fiercest makeup and most mesh-and-leather-heavy looks to celebrate the opening of "PUNK: From Chaos to Couture" at the Costume Institute. But we saved the best (and, um, worst) for last, plucking two noteworthy looks from the crowd and keeping them aside for our weekly fashion feature. Who's our Style Superstar today?

It's Dakota Fanning, whose black, bold Rodarte dress was our favorite look from the evening. Dakota went a little less wild than a lot of her fellow attendees—from the front, in fact, you might think that this was just a simple black gown with trendy cutout details. But that peek of black-and-white coming around at her waist is your tip that there's more going on here; the other side of this dress is made entirely of mesh from the bum up, with cool graphic applique wings at the shoulders and wrapping around her lower back. It's a perfect pick for the evening—high fashion at the front, a punk party at the rear!—and while not everyone loved Dakota in this dress, we think it makes her this week's Style Superstar. (Another critic complained that it "looks like a skeleton is grabbing the actress at her waist"—uh, YEAH IT DOES, and it's AWESOME.)

Ashley Madekwe Is A Suitable Style Superstar

Posted 5/3/13 12:58 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

Remember a couple of weeks ago when we said that nobody, no-how, could pull off the pegged-ankle formal jumpsuit trend that has emerged in the past year? Well, fine. We were wrong. One person—one!—is apparently able to rock the look without coming off lumpy and ill-proportioned...and that person, through her sheer uniqueness, is this week's Style Superstar.

And we probably shouldn't be surprised that if any one person was going to prove us wrong on the jumpsuit front, it would be Ashley Madekwe. The supporting star of "Revenge," who is as beautiful of face and delicate of frame as a spindly-legged baby deer, put on this Topshop number for an LA event celebrating the designer's new "New Wave" collection—and looked amazing in it. The creamy color and simple check print are lovely against her skin, and the suit skims her frame in exactly the way it's supposed to (and the way these one-piece frocks refuse to do on just about anyone else.) Simple black sandals and understated jewelry completed the outfit for a polished, breezy spring look.

Style Superstar: Selena Gomez Straps It In

Posted 4/26/13 12:00 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

With warmer temperatures just around the corner, most celebs are starting to put away their sexy leather looks until things cool off again. (Black leather leggings and 90-degree heat: not a good combo.) But as long as spring stays chilly, at least two of our favorite stars are still working their biker-chic aesthetic like a couple of bosses...or Style Superstars, as the case may be. Whose last-gasp leather look slayed us this week?

No surprise here: this week's winning fashionista is Selena Gomez, who paused after an appearance on the "Late Show With David Letterman" to let fans feast their eyes on her Burberry trench coat and Brian Atwood boots. Selena is emerging as a serious style icon these days, and this look just further cements her trendsetter status: Footwear like this is hard to pull off, which just goes to show what a true-born Style Superstar Selena really is. Those boots are ridiculous and they look amazing on her, not least because she kept it simple with the matte black trench, natural makeup, and her long locks styled in casual, glossy waves—and no accessories, save for the esoteric touch of a teensy glittering jewel between her eyebrows.

Carey Mulligan Tux Into Style Superstardom

Posted 4/19/13 12:00 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

Although we love a pretty dress or glam gown as much as the next guy, there's something extra sexy and stylish about a woman who can rock some menswear—as evidenced by not one, but two of Hollywood's finest femme fatales having put on their party pants this week. One of them is our Style Superstar; the other is...well, something, anyway. Who's legging it out in our fashion feature?

First up: It's Carey Mulligan, who pre-empted what's sure to be a seriously glamorous series of Gatsby-related appearances with a striking androgynous look at the Tiffany and Co. Blue Book Ball. With her hair in a platinum pompadour and her face kept very bare, Carey traded her usual feminine style for something that looks straight out of Tilda Swinton's closet —and we looooooove it. This Victoria Beckham tuxedo with a down-to-there plunge neckline is so flattering on her, and the cutaway sleeves add a chic edge to the otherwise classic silhouette.

Style Superstar: Ashley Tisdale Makes The Cut

Posted 4/12/13 2:00 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

It's been a long time coming, ladies and gents, but Miss Ashley Tisdale has finally found herself on the right side of our Style Superstar feature! ...And by "right," we actually mean "left," since that's where we put our pictured pick for most favoritest red carpet outfit each week. Whatever. Semantics. The point is, Ashley sported this Maria Lucia Hohan gown at the Los Angeles premiere of "Scary Movie 5"—and we could just scream, it looks so good.

This grownup, gothic glamour is just the thing for an actress who's struggled to inject a little maturity into her wardrobe. Oftentimes, Ashley walks the red carpet in looks that would be more appropriate for a teenage girl; this time, she went big with a sleek silhouette, a sparkly fabric and lots of alluring cutout details that showed off her flawless figure and made her look every inch the grownup lady she is. Own it, Ashley! (Sure, the vibe of the thing is a little "Elvira"—but where else would you wear such a thing if not to the L.A. premiere of a spoof horror flick?) The only thing that stinks about this dress is how nobody managed to catch it from a better angle; we would have loved to see it in motion.

Style Superstar: Rosario Dawson Blooms At 'Trance' Premiere

Posted 4/5/13 11:45 am EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

Rosario Dawson is, alas, one of the stylish celebs whom we don't see nearly enough on the red carpet. But when she does emerge? She kills it. Exhibit A: her latest look, from the New York premiere of her new movie, "Trance," which is an exercise in Style Superstar-worthy perfection.

Rosario's statuesque silhouette was beautifully flattered by this sophisticated Bottega Veneta dress, with blouson sleeves, a leather belt and an asymmetrical zip accent that keeps the pretty pink look from veering into twee territory. The dusty rose shade is great on her, too—as are the mauve patent pumps that finish off the look, an unexpected touch that's also a great example of Rosario's uncanny style intuition. Most people would've gone with a boring neutral shoe, but not our Superstar!

Style Superstar: Bella Thorne's Kids' Choice Awards Outfit Was Beautiful and Brave

Posted 3/29/13 1:02 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

The Oscars might present a major sartorial challenge for Hollywood's young stars—what to wear for an event where everyone and anyone is ready to pounce on your slightest fashion flaw?—but they're nothing compared to the conundrum of dressing for the Kids' Choice Awards: where, in addition to looking pretty and put-together on the red carpet, you must be prepared for the eventuality of getting slimed with grody green goop. Which is why this week's Style Superstar featurees get kudos not just for cuteness, but courage, as they braved the one and only awards show where things can get truly messy and an adorable outfit is at high risk for ruination.

This week's winner? It's Bella Thorne, who struck the perfect balance of fresh, fun and fancy in her two-piece metallic shell and miniskirt. A lot of stars arrive at the Kids' Choice Awards overdressed, but this outfit is exactly right: a classic silver sheath, some edgy pops of color (a green beaded necklace and pink patent heels) and free-flowing hair. Bella struck just the right mood for the year's most whimsical awards event! And she didn't get slimed, either. Bonus.

Style Superstar: AnnaSophia Robb Draws A Sweet Diagonal

Posted 3/22/13 2:23 pm EST by in Fashion & Style, Style Superstar

They might be small-screen stars, but this week's Style Superstar featurees took some big, bold risks with their outfits this week, combining bright colors and wild patterns to create two amazingly eye-catching looks. Whose slanted take on the mod era won us over? And whose ensemble nearly drove us mad? Check it!

AnnaSophia Robb doesn't just play a Style Superstar on TV; the "Carrie Diaries" actress also bowled us over off-set with this diagonal stripe leather shift dress from Alice + Olivia at the Broadway opening for "Breakfast at Tiffany's." Carrie Bradshaw would definitely approve of this fun, flattering look—especially the surprise pops of color from her pink suede heels and green bag.
