Seven Pounds star Rosario Dawson is a fashion heavyweight. The feminine and glam actress has been outfitted by some of the world’s most talented designers. Her personal favorite? Diane von Furstenberg.
“Diane is someone I’ve been a huge fan of for many, many years,” Rosario gushed. “Her prints are very loud. All you have to is put on great perfume and a really high heel and strut into a room. You can’t fall into the background with her stuff. Everyone takes notice.”
When something catches her eye, she stocks up. “I usually get more than one of whatever it is I really love,” said the exotic beauty, who’s big on accessories (“They give my look personality”). “If you find something that you like a lot, take that money and spend it. You’re going to end up using it over and over again.”

Star Trek actress Zoe Saldana’s fashion mission? To boldly go where no woman has gone before! “I try my hardest to go after those outfits that designers really, really love, but might seem challenging to wear,” said the rising star, who plays Lieutenant Uhura in the summer blockbuster.
“I like to think that I take risks.” Those risks are definitely paying off. While promoting her hit movie, the beauty beamed herself up to the top of the Best Dressed List with wonderfully daring dresses like Prabal Gurung’s architectural frock and Pucci’s sequined serpent-detail mini. “I love to incorporate art with whatever it is that I’m wearing,” she added.
But you don’t have to be decked out in designer duds to be like Zoe. “Black is an essential tool because it looks good on any type of body,” she asserted. “A pair of black pants, a good black top and a good black skirt are a must because you can always match them with anything.”

Playing fashion plate Naomi Clark on the new 90210 has done such wonders for AnnaLynne McCord’s closet that it practically needs its own zip code!
“My wardrobe has tripled since being on the show because I basically get to borrow everything Naomi has—and Naomi’s a rich kid!” raved the curly-haired cutie, whose high school days definitely weren’t as glamorous as her Chanel-loving character’s. “I was home schooled so I was always in my pajamas. I was kind of the dorky math nerd.”
Today, the star gets top marks for her style. “Sometimes I wear a little leather and I’m a little badass and then other days I feel like channeling Marilyn Monroe and being all demure.”
For all of the recessionistas out there, AnnaLynne recommends going to Topshop and Bebe for affordable rocker pieces. (Her blonde bombshell moments are courtesy of Dolce & Gabbana.)
Her must-have accessory? Belts! “You can cinch a shirt and make it a dress. You can wrap it around low-cut jeans. You can do anything with them,” she shared. “Just don’t buy a brand new belt–ever! Go to a consignment store. That’s where I get all my belts. I’ve never spent more than 30 bucks on a belt!”
Thanks for the tip!

Emmy Rossum is not a name I know that well, but this girl sure knows how to dress and I’m starting to take notice. She looks incredible in her latest spread for Celeb Life and I’m totally in love with her pink dress above! I don’t even know where I would wear something like this, but all I need to know is that I would die at the chance to simply put it on!
She has a very Old Hollywood glamour thing going on and considering she’s only 22, I really appreciate her sophisticated choice of fashions. Other Hollywood starlets should follow her lead…does anyone know if she works with a stylist???
I did a little research and 9 times out of 10, she totally nails her look on the red carpet…what do you think? Is Emmy a style maker?? Hear are some of my favorite looks…

Rachel Bilson is one of my star style crushes. She can go from boho chic to androgynous to glam in a heartbeat. “I like to be comfortable. That always comes first,” the PYT told me. “But I also like to have a little twist to my look.”
That twist includes wrapping a funky scarf around her neck. “I’m such a jeans and T-shirt girl that I’m so into accessories like scarves. I like to collect those a lot,” she dished. “They’re important because they can really make an outfit.”
The actress may have her own fashion line, Edie Rose, but she couldn’t help but give props to fellow celeb designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. “They do a really good job with The Row,” she gushed. “I literally love almost every piece.”
Her favorite place to shop for steals? “I go to TJ Maxx because you can find really good things for really good prices!”

Mandy Moore believes in a woman’s right to shoes. “I think it’s the curse of being a girl. I love heels!” she dished while promoting her new album Amanda Leigh, which is in stores now.
The mere mention of designers like Givenchy, Christian Louboutin and Loeffler Randall is music to the singer’s ears. “They make really beautiful and special platforms. I don’t ever feel like I’m going to trip and fall in front of everyone when I’m wearing them on stage—they’re so easy to wear.”
But finding the perfect pair can be tough for the size 10 superstar. “Sadly, size 10 is always the first to go,” she cautioned. “There’s usually less of a variety in size 10 and only a few in each style. I sometimes miss out. So get to the store early at the beginning of the season!”
The “lazy dresser” one minute and vamp the next isn’t as picky when it comes to clothes. “At the end of the day, I really admire people who know who they are and challenge the way they express themselves, especially with fashion,” she said. “It’s important to have fun with your look.”
And finally, what secret beauty weapon does she want to share with the rest of us? “I have tubes and tubes of Aquaphor,” she raved. “I use it obviously for my lips, but I also use it on my cuticles and to make creamy eye shadow. Ah, I love it!” But not as much as we love you, Mandy!

Kim Kardashian used to stop traffic with curving-hugging Hervé Léger bandage dresses, but if you’ve been keeping up with the reality star as much as I have, you would have noticed that she’s done a complete 180.
“My style used to be overly voluptuous. I’m still sexy, but a little bit more understated. Effortlessly chic,” she explained to me at the Pink Agenda’s Pre-Mother’s Day Bash at the W Hotel. “There’s not as much thought put into it. I don’t match everything like I used to. I used to be obsessed with matching everything.”
Kim, who wore a sheer top and high-waisted bubble skirt by H&M (“I love it there!”), vintage chain fringe necklace and Christian Louboutin pumps, now shops Forever 21, Burberry, Marc Jacobs and Marchesa— “designers that I probably wouldn’t have been into before because I was so focused on tight, revealing outfits.”
After running into the raven-haired fashionista on a number of occasions and marveling at her impeccable beauty, I just had to ask her about her makeup must-haves. These included foundation by Make Up For Ever and Giorgio Armani. “I’m also a big fan of any kind of blush,” she dished. “You always need blush in your purse to make you look a little bit alive.”
At night, it all comes off. “My mom tells me that I have to wash my face with a hot wash cloth everyday and make sure I take off all of my makeup,” she said. Mother knows best!

While her Ugly Betty character, Amanda Tanen, wouldn’t be caught dead in anything remotely flea market chic, Becki Newton revels in it. “I like undone glamour. Anything that’s too fussy—if it has to be perfect, I’ll ruin it somehow,” the actress told me not too long ago.
Her fashion heroes? You guessed it! Kate Moss and Sienna Miller. “I love the way British women dress. They’re so confident in what they wear and it doesn’t ever look too planned out.”
The star is a sucker for vintage jewelry. “I love random things that don’t match too well, but all sort of go together. Things with a history. When jewelry looks like treasures, that’s when it’s great!”
For Becki, bargains abound beyond the flea market. She’s got really inexpensive big gold chandelier earrings from H&M to prove it. “Every time I wear my H&M earrings, people always say, ‘Oh my God! Where did you get those?’ she said. “When I tell them they’re three dollars from H&M, they don’t believe me.”
The actress’ style advice to her fans? “When someone owns what they wear, I don’t think there’s anything too ridiculous. If someone’s nervous about a trend they’re wearing, that’s when it looks funny. But if they think they look fabulous, I think they look fabulous. Confidence is key when experimenting with fashion.”
Now, that was beautiful.
