"Hills" alum Stephanie Pratt was photographed strolling around Beverly Hills on January 29, rocking a bright maxi dress as part of her warm-weather ensemble. If you've been looking for a fun patterned maxi, take a peek at either Jenny Han's Ruffle Cami Dress in Medallion or Meghan Los Angeles' Miley Long Dress in Crimson Emulsion. From there, Stephanie added a woven belt (add a touch of exotic flair with Nyovee's 4-Way Snake/Black Belt) and blue sandals to her ensemble, which was finished with a fringed grey tote (for a great grey bag, try Julie K Handbags' Robin in Bubble Lamb) and a turquoise ring. Are you enjoying this look for Stephanie, friends? While SP was sober during "The Hills" (following a DUI arrest in 2009), sources are claiming that she was back to her old tricks in Sundance recently. According to an insider: "She was wasted. Stephanie did plenty of toasts and even had a drink named after her. She was telling all the guests 'just order the Stephanie, it’s delicious! She had five or six of the straight-vodka-over-crushed-fruit concoctions." Wow - what are your thoughts regarding Stephanie's alleged drinking?

Spotted leaving the Sydney Opera House on January 31, Miranda Kerr looked sweet and stylish as she did a little strut for the photogs. Starting with a printed silk dress (Alexia Admor's Sequin Beads Checkerboard Dress in Black has a similar silhouette, while the pattern of Eva Franco's Marilyn Dress in Absinthe is reminiscent of Miranda's frock), Miranda kept the rest of her look simple as she carried an oversized tote, wore black pointed toe heels and wore one delicate bracelet on her right wrist. For two pretty options, check out either BB Becker's Friends Forever Bracelet in Silver or Avanessi's Diamond Cross Bracelet in White Gold. What are your thoughts on this outfit everyone, yay or nay? In other not-so-surprising news, Miranda recently was among the top ladies selected for AskMen's "Top 99 Most Desirable Women of 2012." While Sofía Vergara took the top spot, Miranda came in at number 4, with her fellow Victoria's Secret supermodels following suit. Candice Swanepoel was number 10, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was number 20, Gisele was number 53 and Marisa Miller was number 56. Do you agree with the rankings, readers?

Rachel McAdams was photographed in NYC on January 31, stepping out for an appearance on "Good Morning America" to promote her new film The Vow. For her "GMA" ensemble, Rachel paired a color blocked blue striped Peter Som Spring 2012 dress (for a maxi dress that's similar, try Twelfth Street by Cynthia Vincent's Color Block Maxi in Multi, or for a shorter version in shades of grey, check out Michael Lauren's Wide Stripe Dress in Heather Grey) with a white Roland Mouret coat (Nanette Lepore's Napa Valley Coat in Cream is similar) and pale blue heels with a white toe accent. From there, RM wore a few rings (try Femme Metale Jewelry's Crowned Gem Ring in Silver) and toted a metallic clutch. Are you a fan of this look on Rachel, everyone? Rachel recently spoke to "Access Hollywood" about the film, and more specifically about co-star Channing Tatum's, ahem, "full monty" moment. Rachel says, "He bared his ass quite a bit. He did bare some other things. Yeah, he goes for it. He’s very generous, giving, thoughtful actor. He went to the prop department like a month in advance and said hey, 'I want to help Rachel out in this scene. I don’t want her to have to pretend too much.' He had a prosthetic made!" Channing added in, "I really didn’t have faith in her acting, to be totally honest. I wanted to get a real reaction from her, because it needed to be good. I made sure that I had [a prosthetic] that was down to my shin and that take is in the movie." So funny!

Stepping out for a good cause on January 20, Ashley Tisdale attended the UNICEF charity concert held at the House of Blues in Hollywood. The event was thrown by Tisdale's pal Selena Gomez, and was also attended by David Beckham and Selena's boo Justin Bieber. For her night out, Ashley paired a striped skirt (like JET by John Eshaya's Mini Skirt in White) with a cropped sweater (both Free People's Nova Yarn Pullover in Buttercream and Brandy Melville's Velia Sweater in Vanilla are similar), and then wore her favorite pair of star studded Jeffrey Campbell booties. A statement silver ring and bright red bag (check out Julie K Handbags' Nora in Red Cobra) finished of AT's 'fit. What are your thoughts on this ensemble, everyone? Is it something you might don for a night out? The evening turned out to be a huge success, with Selena and her band The Scene performing for an energetic crowd in the mood for a fun and charitable evening. In all, approximately $200,000 was raised for UNICEF! How wonderful - I wonder if Ashley donated any money for this deserving cause?

Jennifer Hudson smiled and waved for fans and photographers at a book signing for her new book "I Got This" at Barnes and Noble in Los Angeles on January 12, opting for a bold and colorful fashion statement for her appearance. In a bright orange Balenciaga dress (Boulee has two dresses in a similar orange hue, such as the Serena Dress in Orange and the Blake Short Dress in Orange) paired with Lanvin heels, Jennifer accessorized with colorful earrings (try Calico Juno Designs' Siren 187 Earring in Gold) and a few simple bangles. Elizabeth & James' Two Tone Scallop Bangle in Sterling Silver is a nice option. A turquoise manicure completed J.Hud's ensemble. Are you into it, everyone? In other JH news, the newly svelte singer recently dished that she wouldn't mind gaining the weight back, if the right movie role presented itself. Says Jennifer: "When I do films, it has to be led by something through me — like my passion for it. So if I commit myself to something, then it'll be worth it no matter what character it is." What's your take on Jennifer's stance, readers? Would you feel comfortable gaining the weight back if the role called for it and you were in Jennifer's shoes?

Kate Bosworth made an appearance at the 2012 Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah to promote her newest film Black Rock, looking stunning on the red carpet in an embellished, body hugging red Antonio Berardi Spring 2012 dress. I know many of you weren't too pleased with Kate's latest outing, noting a bad dress and messy hair... does she redeem herself in your eyes here? A sleek ponytail is a nice alternative to her usual hairstyle (and as one reader said, "down trodden and stringy") I think. In addition to her Antonio Berardi dress, Kate toted a metallic JewelMint clutch and slipped into a matching pair of Casadei heels. A bright red lip completed KB's look. What are your thoughts, readers - was the red lip (with the red dress and red shoes) too much? To recreate Kate's look in a more casual way, try either Boulee's less body-con Bryant Park Long Sleeve Dress in Dark Red, or if you're feeling sassy, try Boulee's Blake Long Sleeve Dress in Red. From there, try Julie K Handbags' more versatile Callie in Slate, and if you feel the need for yet another red accessory, add on Ettika's Knotted Ribbon Bracelet on Gold with Pearl in Rust. Looking forward to hearing what you think in the comments, everyone!

Lauren Conrad was caught leaving Hollywood hot dog joint Papaya King on January 21, and didn't seem to be too pleased to spy the paparazzi as she dashed to her car. Lauren has proved herself to be somewhat of a hair chameleon, as she's never afraid to take risks with changing her hair color and style. On this occasion, Lauren opted for light pink tips which she achieved with chalk! But more about that in a minute. Outfit wise, Lauren chose a dove grey silk blouse with shoulder cutouts (for something similar, try Luc by Lucy's Soft Whisper Button Down in Stone; Soul Revival's Marcy Top in Fuchsia also has shoulder cutouts, if that's what you're attracted to in Lauren's top) that she paired with simple black skinny jeans (try Rich & Skinny's Rider Skinny Jean in Black Vintage Wash, which are currently on sale for $84!) and one of her numerous Chanel bags. A pair of strappy wedges and a delicate silver bracelet (like Avanessi's Knot Bangle in White Gold) completed LC's 'fit. What are you feeling about this look - and hair - on Lauren? Conrad's hairstylist Kristin Ess dished to InStyle that she achieved the look on Lauren with nothing more than pink chalk. Say what? Ess even posted a tutorial on TheBeautyDepartment.com, her site with Lauren. Click here to check it out, and let me know - would you ever try this trend?

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen attended a jcpenny event for their lower-priced brand Olsenboye that was held at Pier 57 in NYC on January 25, looking pretty and stylish as they posed for photographers. I can't recall MK looking this polished and non-grungy/bohemian in quite some time... I think from her sleek hair to her simple, streamlined ensemble that she looks fab! Mary-Kate chose a long, well-tailored black coat for her look, which she accentuated with sheer black tights, a pair of black platforms and a vibrant bag from her collection for The Row. As you know, the Olsens love their furs - for a faux option, try Tracy Reese's Faux Fur Long Jacket in Brown; True Grit's Long Shawl Coat in Black is also similar to Mary-Kate's. Ashley, on the other hand, opted for sophisticated black trousers (like Nanette Lepore's Le Palace Pant in Black) with an interestingly patterned blouse (I'm loving Lotta Stensson's Poet Blouse in Art Deco) and a black pair of her favorite embellished Manolo Blahnik heels. Ashley also carried a handbag from The Row's collection, the same one that MK had but in black. Both girls (well, from what we can see of Mary-Kate) decided to go jewelry-free for the event. Who do you think got their look better here, everyone? In other Olsen news, it seems that the twins have hired Prada's United States president and CEO Francois Kress to head up their label The Row. Mary-Kate told WWD: "He quickly became the obvious choice for us and for the brand, having experience in multiple categories which we feel is essential for growth of The Row." Ashley went on to say, "His experience and sensibility will add great value to The Row in its next phase of development." Anyone else curious to see where MK&A (and Francois!) will take The Row in the future?

Blake Lively worked the red carpet of the Jason Wu for Target launch that was held on January 26 at the Skylight Soho in NYC, wearing Wu's black and white dress. I see that Blake is serving up her trademark "pouty frown" - ha! To get an outfit inspired by BL's, pick either French Connection's Planet Lace Dress in Cream/Black or Alexia Admor's Two Tone Dress with Sequin Bottom in Black/White... both have the two-tone black and white look. From there, accessorize with a pair of pretty drop earrings, such as Robyn Rhodes' Brianna Earring, and add on a few unique rings. Femme Metale Jewelry's Serpent Ring in Silver is one of my favorites. Tousled hair and a pale pink lip should complete your ensemble. What are your thoughts on Blake's outfit here, everyone - is it a winner in your eyes? Blake spoke to reporters on the red carpet about her love for Mr. Wu, saying: "I'm such a fan of his, and I have been for so long. We were talking about how when we first met, 'Gossip Girl' had just aired and it was before he dressed Michelle Obama. So we were both young and new to all of this and very naive, and to be here now and see what our journey's been for the last three years. We're both so lucky we've been pinching ourselves thinking, 'How cool is this?' But it's nice to have that camaraderie and also his lines are so beautiful. I appreciate the sophistication." How sweet!

Photographed leaving her co-hosting gig on "Live! with Kelly" in NYC on January 23, Kim Kardashian looked red hot in a fiery lace dress and nude platforms. While her long sleeve lace number is totally curve hugging, both Aaron Ashe's Bryant Park Long Sleeve Dress in Dark Red and Kimberly Taylor's Rosemary Dress in Red are more relaxed (and forgiving!) options. From there, Kim accessorized with a bling-bling cross necklace (check out Queen Baby by King Baby Studio's Large Stud Earrings in White Gold), and then let her supersized eyelashes do the rest of the talking. Thoughts on KK's ensemble here, friends? While on "Live! with Kelly," Kim spoke openly about her highly controversial divorce from Kris Humphries. Says Kim: "Being a hopeless romantic, I wanted to believe in something so badly. If you really think about it, if this was a business decision and I really made all that money that everyone was claiming that we made off this wedding, and if the wedding was fake and just for TV - I’m a smart business woman - I would have stayed married longer. I really didn't think following my heart would create this much backlash." That's an interesting way to look at it!
