With celebrities taking a walk on the wilder side, we're seeing everything from leopard spots to zebra stripes cropping up on the red carpet. To this point, we love the way Emma Stone dressed up a peachy Lanvin number with a quirky serpent collar, how Natalia Vodianova added sleek dynamic to her ensemble with the help of an olive-green python-print jacket, and how Revenge's Ashley Madekwe paired a sheer snakeskin top with cool-girl leather shorts. These slick reptilian accents inject a double dose of exotic texture and playfulness into any look. From subtle accessories to overtly embellished apparel, we've got seven celeb-inspired ways to style up your snakeskin pieces. Click through now and shop your favorites.

If your basics are starting to look a little worse for wear, check out Gap's new collection, Gap Pure, which just launched today in stores (and online last night). Not only is the line affordable — prices range from $24 for a tee to $68 for a sweater — but the quality is also spot-on, highlighting jersey, pima cotton, and cashmere. In fact, we spoke to the designer and was told that each piece goes through a rigorous pilling test. We love the slouchy-cum-cool fit, perfect for lounging around, or if you want to up your style profile, layering with leather skirts and skinny trousers.
