Whether you're a lover or hater of Olivia Palermo, you have to admit the girl has inimitable styling skills. That's why ASOS snatched up the HYT to pose for its August issue. During the photo shoot — which she also helped style — Olivia talked about her evil portrayal in The City, her drama with Whitney Port, beau Johannes Huebl, and what we love most of all: her incredible sense of fashion. Olivia on the bad reputation The City has given her. It's unfortunate. But I think that people understand that what they see on TV is not who I am. It's not accurate. I'm funny, I'm enthusiastic, and I'm not a negative person. I always try and look for the good in things. More pictures and juicy quotes from Olivia Palermo.
Despite her best efforts to go incognito, Chelsea Clinton has been spotted on several appointments to both Vera Wang and Oscar de la Renta's studios in New York recently. This comes as no surprise given her upcoming super-secret wedding to investment banker Marc Mezvinsky. Speculation over exactly who and what the bride-to-be will be wearing has been running rife, with both designers refusing to comment. The likely scenario seems that Chelsea and her bridesmaids will sport Vera Wang gowns, while her mother, Hillary Rodham Clinton, will be decked out in Oscar de la Renta. The former first lady has often turned to De La Renta for eveningwear. How schnazzy, can't wait to see pics!
Oh Jen, if only every girl looked as polished as you whilst guzzling a coldie. She's at the Bluetongue Brewery in Warnervale sporting a mesh body-con dress with Camilla Skovgaard heels. Hmmm...this one's a toughie. I get that she has to play model for every event she attends, but don't you think this is maybe a little OTT for a beer event? Surely a cute jeans/blazer/ankle boots combo would have been a better casual-cool option. Ya think?

So, I was going about my usual business, stalking my favourite 4056 magazine sites, when a familiar face caught my eye. "Well if it isn't Larsy Bingle!" I said to no one in particular, and guess what, I was right! Lara was snapped on the streets of New York for ELLE's regular Street Chic section wearing a slightly dishevelled combo of Bassike tee, Ksubi shorts, Topshop boots and PS1 bag. She looked every inch the model off-duty so it's no wonder the international title zoned in on her street vibe. Considering the unwanted media attention surrounding her recent breakup with Michael Clarke, this innocent fashion pic may have been just what the fairy godmother ordered!
To no one's surprise, Gossip Girl'srebel child, Taylor Momsen, was revealed as the face of Madonna's Material Girl collection. So just how was she chosen by Madonna to be the face of the brand? "I was ecstatic to be asked. It's such an honour. It's Madonna. I was kind of shocked. She's amazing. The role entails doing the launch of the line on Aug. 3 at Herald Square. And I'll be tweeting and talking about the line. We did a photo shoot for the first pieces of the collection. It's a really great line. It's really cool," said Momsen. Taylor on being a fan of Madonna's music and fashion. All her songs are so great. They’re so well crafted and really perfect, pure, pop genius. I'm a big fan of "Papa Don't Preach." I love that song. But really all of it is fantastic. She was the one who did it all first. She gave people like me an avenue to do what I'm doing. She was the one who started all the controversy to begin with. I'm a big fan of all kinds of vintage looks and altering them and making them modern. I don't know if I copy anything directly, but I like to mix and match and play around a lot. Read more about Taylor on Madonna, music, and personal style.
Nicole Kidman is embracing the ladylike trend in this knee-length Prada dress and kitten-heeled peep toe shoes. She's at the Hollywood Foreign Press Association's Installation Luncheon where she helped announce financial grants and new board members. Kermit may have said it's not easy being green, but Nic's clearly showing that there ain't nothing hard about it. This is a fuss-free, event-appropriate dress which flatters her skin tone and hair colour. Props to Nic for always looking so polished and elegant. Do you rate it?
Zoe Saldana is back flaunting her stuff for Calvin Klein Envy ads which are set to be, "one of the biggest launches in the brand’s history." Zoe commented on the lingerie, “I like when you are able to assist your body to look amazing as opposed to replacing anything. That’s exactly what Calvin Klein Underwear Envy does. It helps you, it assists you, but it will not overshadow what you can bring naturally.” Sign me up! Are you impressed with this latest CK offering?
Hottie Lea Michele has glammed up tonight for the Glee Academy Event in California sporting a Reem Acra resort '11 dress and satin peep-toe heels. The usually-sexy starlet has opted for a more ladylike vibe thanks to the knee-length hemline and floaty style. Metallic floral detailing and an oversized, drapey bow make this honey-toned asymmetrical dress truly shine. Are you feeling Lea's look tonight?
Isn't she lovely? You know I've always had a soft spot for Sophie Ellis-Bextor, and this latest image of her at The Jacques Townhouse launch party in London is really sealing the deal for me. She's looking particularly adorable in this cheap and chic Topshop lace dress, which I'm now desperate to own. Funnily enough, our very own Sugar Sister Bella bought the red version just the other day and I can safely say it's equally as cute in the flesh. Soph's cleverly mixed in a black slip instead of the plain white which further highlights the pretty lace detail. The peter pan collar and three quarter sleeve add a retro feel which is in tune with the Betty Draper inspiration we're seeing everywhere right now. Get in quick peeps, Topshop online only has a few of these puppies left! Topshop lace dress, approx $78.
