Out & About: RiRi in ruffles

Who: Rihanna

What: Heading to the Louis Vuitton store around CHamps Elysees with bf Chris Brown

Where: Paris, France

Wearing: Sunglasses, a black cardigan with major ruffles, skintight pants, and black boots

When: December 18, 2008


No matter what, Rihanna manages to look fierce 24/7. She tends to choose really strong, outstanding pieces--like this top completely smothered in ruffles--and wears them with total confidence and a devil-may-care attitude, which is one of the things I love about her fashion sense! This head-to-toe black ensemble is just another of her ballsy signature looks.

Out & About: Feathery fun

Who: Jessica Szohr

What: Attending the Lucky Guide to Mastering Any Style launch

Where: Los Angeles, California

Wearing: An Elizabeth & James tunic with feather detail and tight black leggings

When: October 2, 2008


I just recently blogged about Gossip Girl's Jessica Szohr and how much I love her cheeky, slightly irreverent style, and she's already popped back up on my fashion radar yet again! I somehow missed her rocking this outfit at an event in early October, but I'm glad to see that she's a fan of Elizabeth & James as much as I am!

Out & About: Pretty in plaid

Who: Rihanna

What: Rehearsing onstage for the American Music Awards

Where: Los Angeles, California

Wearing: A fitted plaid shirt, skinny dark jeans, thin brown leather belt, hoop earrings, and dark sunglasses

When: November 20, 2008


Even while simply rehearsing for the big show, Rihanna makes a fashion statement. In my opinion, she completely owns this outfit. It's a simple combo of dark jeans and a casual button-down shirt, but she makes it work with fitted pieces and strong accessories.

Out & About: Royal touch

Who: Rachel Bilson

What: Launching her new Edie Rose collection for DKNY Jeans at Macy's

Where: New York City

Wearing: Slim black pants and a black blazer with white piping from her own line, a royal purple scarf, and gorgeous studded black boots

When: October 4, 2008


I've always loved her look, and R-Bils doesn't disappoint here. The boots are definitely the focal point of her outfit, but I also love the sleek simplicity of her blazer and the colorful, patterned scarf as a bright accent.

Out & About: Scarf style

Who: Zac Efron

What: Walking the red carpet at the 6th Annual Teen Vogue Young Hollywood party

Where: Los Angeles

Wearing: Slim dark jeans, a perfectly fitted white tee, black jacket, and an oatmeal-colored scarf draped artfully around his neck as a finishing touch.

When: September 18, 2008


I had to sit up and take note of High School Musical’s Zac Efron when I saw his ensemble at the party. You can tell he put some thought into his outfit—unlike many guys I know!—and I absolutely love the look. It’s sleek, youthful, and up-to-date. Go, Zac! I’m looking forward to seeing more of his outfits during the upcoming HSM3 publicity blitz.

What: Taking a stroll with her baby daughter, Harlow Winter Kate

Where: New York City

Wearing: A loose-fitting ombre tank top tucked into cut-off denim shorts, a skinny belt, and aviator sunnies

When: September 8, 2008


Such a breezy outfit for a sunny day! Nicole makes that whole hippie thing look so chic and freakin' effortless! Note the braids in her tousled, wavy hair and the ragged hems of her faded shorts.

Out & About: Black and white

Who: Gossip Girl favorite, Leighton Meester, and Tommy Hilfiger

What: Speaking onstage during the Conde Nast Media Group's Fifth Annual Fashion Rocks

Where: Radio City Music Hall in New York City

Wearing: Supertight black jeans, a V-neck white tee, a cropped tuxedo jacket, and fierce peep-toe sandals

When: September 5, 2008


Leighton usually goes for pretty party frocks when she makes appearances, but I love how she chose to mix it up with this blazer-and-pants combo. The shoes are a great choice, plus slicked back hair makes the outfit stand out more and focuses attention on the stark black-and-white color scheme. She rocks this minimalist look, which is so un-Blair Waldorf that I'm loving it for a change!

Out & About: Red hot

Who: Hayden Panettiere

What: At a taping of MTV's TRL show

Where: MTV studios in New York City

Wearing: A snug black turtleneck dress, a cropped jacket, and fierce red lipstick to match her red heels

When: September 2, 2008


If you can get beyond Hayden's flawless skin and gorgeous features, you'll start to appreciate her outfit as well. She's petite, but obviously knows how to work that to her advantage, showing off her legs in a body-con dress and keeping everything else simple.

Out & About: Street cred

Who: Emma Roberts

What: Leaving a studio

Where: London, England

Wearing: Superskinny black pants, chunky 'n strappy sandals, white tank top, and gray denim jacket with a wide collar

When: August 1, 2008


Emma's simple basics--white tank and blank pants--are given a whole new edge with those fierce chunky sandals and wide-collared jacket. She's showing off a pared down minimalism that is casual enough for the streets and fashion-forward enough for a budding celeb!
