Princess Kate at the 2011 Wimbledon Championships in England

When you’re the most famous bride in the world, why should you reserve your special bridal glow for one day? Princess Kate proves that any blushing bride can wear white with ease long after she says, “I do” at the Wimbledon Championships in England on Monday, June 27th. The beautiful Duchess of Cambridge arrived on the arm of her strapping prince and took her seat in the reserved Royal Box to cheer for British tennis phenom Andy Murray in the finals. Kate looked effortlessly elegant, as usual, in a pleated white frock from celebrity favorite brand Temperley London, and completed her look with her signature bridal glow. We think a little white dress is the perfect go-to look for outdoor summer events, so keep reading to discover how to wear one to perfection, even if you don’t have a British empire at your dainty, slender fingertips.

Even though Kate’s Temperley pick was solid white, it featured plenty of fun visual details that kept it from looking too bridal for the tennis court. We think it was a great, appropriate dress that even paid homage to the players with a tennis-inspired, flouncy-tiered skirt. Kate’s straps were accented with oversized scalloped details, which added another three-dimensional element to her look. To keep your favorite white pieces from looking too bridal for everyday, take a page out of the Princess’s stylebook, and choose frocks with plenty of fun visual elements, rather than solid white confections that look like they belong on a wedding cake topper.

To finish her feminine and airy look, Kate added nude, patent leather pumps and a matching clutch. We love the idea of pairing white with nude or beige accessories, because it keeps the whole silhouette frothy and summertime appropriate. Black accessories can be too heavy for effervescent fabrics, so pair your whites with nude this summer for an outfit fit for the Royals!

Jessica Alba at the launch of Carla and Leo’s World of Dance

It’s official – Jessica Alba’s maternity style is our very favorite among all the mothers-to-be in Hollywood, and the closer she gets to her due date, the more she continues to outdo herself when it comes to her adorable, enviable maternity wardrobe. We’re nowhere near our baby-making years yet, but we admit we’ve stolen plenty of style tips from Jessica this summer. Most recently, we spotted the glowing mama at the launch of Carla and Leo’s World of Dance, a novel for young adults written by Alba pal Agatha Relota – and we’ve never seen her look better. Jess arrived at the book launch bash wearing a stunning 1970s-inspired maxidress in a gorgeous teal and black pattern, and we’re totally smitten with her whole ensemble.

With this look, Jess proves that wearing a full-length bold pattern is a great option at any size, and that pregnant woman should never hide behind solid colors for nine months. The cut of her maxidress is easy and airy, and we’re sure Jess was cool and comfortable in the Los Angeles heat.

Even if you’re not expecting, a similar shape is a great way to beat the heat and still look polished throughout the summer. Look for similar flowing maxis everywhere from Bloomingdale’s to Target this season, and find your favorite colors and bold patterns for an Alba-approved, summer go-to look.

We love the marine-inspired colors and patterns of Jessica’s pick, but any rich, jewel-toned frock will create a similar style statement. Ms. Alba also did a great job complimenting her bold frock with simple summer espadrilles and easy hair and makeup. This summer, pair all your 70s inspired pieces with equally retro espadrille wedges for a few extra inches without the discomfort of your ever-present stilettos. Finish your look in true star style with a simple smoky eye and fresh-from-the-beach waves, like Jess, for an easy, no-fuss summer ‘do.

Paris celebrating the launch of the new HTC Evo 3D smartphone

We can’t be the only ones who were relieved to see Paris Hilton step out of the spotlight for a while. After hosting a tasteless reality show to choose her “BFF,” and donning a seemingly never-ending stream of too glittery, too pink and too young ensembles at parties and events all over the world, we admit that we were happy Paris decided to return to relative obscurity for a few months. When we heard news that the famous heiress had another reality show in the pipeline, we collectively cringed before we learned that this time, there would be no wacky elimination challenges involved. The World According to Paris premiered on the Oxygen Network earlier this summer, and so far, we’re actually surprised by how mature and poised Ms. Hilton appears. And although we probably still won’t be huge fans of the tall blonde, we’re not too proud to give style credit where it’s rightfully due.

On Thursday, June 23rd, we spotted Paris celebrating the launch of the new HTC Evo 3D smartphone in West Hollywood, and we’ve never seen her look better. Paris looked pretty, polished and put-together, and we didn’t spot a pink feather, sequin or tiara within a five-mile radius of the reality star! Now that’s style progress if we’ve ever seen it, and we’re actually thinking of stealing a similar star look this summer! Keep reading for details about Paris’s demure ivory dress and heels, and learn how to wear a similar silhouette when Mother Nature turns up the heat.

Paris chose an easy, breezy McGinn dress in a summer-appropriate ivory hue, and even accessorized with womanly nude Christian Louboutin platforms and a matching oversized envelope clutch. We love that her frock featured plenty of Paris-style sparkle, but didn’t veer dangerously close to Disney princess territory, as her outfits have in the past. We even liked Paris’s elegant hair and makeup, and wish she would rock a simple and sleek blowout more often.

Ths summer, take a cue from Paris and ditch your tank and jeans for fun nights out. A simple tank dress is just as comfortable, and always looks more polished in the summertime heat.

Marc Jacobs and Fergie at the 2011 annual amfAR Inspiration Gala

On Thursday, June 23rd, plenty of our favorite celebrities gathered in Paris to celebrate the annual amfAR Inspiration Gala, to raise funds and awareness for HIV/AIDS across the globe. The glamorous event was held at the Pavillon Gabriel in Paris, and celebrated men’s style and male designers, so naturally, the style stars really upped their game for the event. We loved so many of the night’s looks, that we can’t possibly choose a favorite – but since Fergie was one of the evening’s honorees, we think her quick change deserves a second look.

Fortunately for fashionistas, Fergie showed her fierce and unique style in two different ensembles. She arrived in head-to-toe Louis Vuitton, sporting a fur-clad leather biker jacket, wool shorts and sexy knee-high boots, but had a quick wardrobe swap before she presented designer Marc Jacobs with an award on stage. Keep reading for more details about Fergie’s amazing outfits, and discover why we thought they were both pitch-perfect for the evening.

As tough as her arrival look was, Fergie’s dress on stage was sweet and feminine. She appropriately chose a Marc Jacobs Fall 2011 frock, speckled with polka dots, and featuring a wide waistband for the perfect hourglass silhouette. We loved the contrast of her biker-chic first outfit to the ladylike retro vibe of her second look, and are already planning to steal a little style inspiration for our own wardrobes this fall.

Even though Fergie’s two separate looks were completely different, she kept her bold red lip color constant. Her classic crimson pout looked equally great with both ensembles, which is a testament that red lips will never go out of style. Recreating a similar lip look at home might seem intimidating, but is actually super simple with the right products.

To mimic Fergie’s red pucker, start with bare lips that are exfoliated and moisturized. Prep your pout with a kohl pencil in a matching shade, to increase your lip color’s staying power. Carefully apply your favorite red hue with a lip brush, and correct any mistakes with a cotton swab dipped in concealer, for a Fergie-inspired makeup look that will take you from summer to fall!

Kate Winslet at the 2011 Yo Dona Awards

Who says an international pop star-turned multibillionaire athlete’s wife can’t become a blockbuster success in the fashion industry? Victoria Beckham continues to prove her naysayers wrong, parading A-lister after Oscar-winning A-lister down glamorous red carpets in her own designs. Most recently, Jennifer Hudson has taken to Victoria Beckham’s solid color, clingy frocks to highlight her newly toned bod, and we can think of a veritable never-ending list of style stars who consistently choose to wear Victoria Beckham’s line for their events and appearances. But when we spotted film, fashion and beauty icon Kate Winslet looking as elegant as ever in a long-sleeved, black Victoria Beckham Collection gown at the glamorous Yo Dona Awards, held at El Matadero in Madrid, Spain on Tuesday, June 21st, we knew Mrs. Beckham had finally cemented her place in fashion history. We though Kate looked amazing, so keep reading to discover just why we loved her look so much!

Kate has a perfect hourglass figure, so snug, stretchy styles always look fabulous on her. It’s no wonder why Victoria Beckham’s designs are such star favorites – they fit and flatter, and the stretch jersey material is perfect for international travel. Kate’s stunning pick featured a flattering boat neck, dramatic long sleeves and a fierce studded belt accent that added edge to an otherwise simple look. Kate accessorized her pitch-perfect frock with an elegant gold evening clutch by Judith Leiber, and completed her ensemble with a soft, feminine ponytail with plenty of sexy volume.

The secret to wearing a dramatic long-sleeved gown in a dark color without veering into Disney villain territory is to keep your hair, makeup and accessories fun and light. Kate knows exactly what works on her body, and opted to pair her amazing dress with frothy accessories and makeup. We adored her pretty ponytail, and encourage you to try a similar style this summer. Her sparkly, light pink lip color is a perfect pick for a summer soirée or wedding, so take a page out of Kate’s stylebook to avoid looking too severe in the summer heat!
