Whitney stole the spotlight at a charity gala in New York last night. Her white-draped gown is a fresh take on holiday dressing; and the black sash is added drama. Her oversized green snakeskin clutch provided a vintage touch, while on the other hand a red watch kept her in check — do you think she was purposely mixing the traditional Christmas colors of red and green? Here she is with new friend Olivia from The City, also looking quite Fab.

I recently accompanied my friend on her hunt for the perfect party dress. Not too long after our search we discovered this Banana Republic Silk Maxi Dress in Peacock ($175). It looked good on the hanger but came to life when she slipped it on. Maxis tend to have that breath-taking effect. They make you look long and lean, especially if you wear your tallest heels. If you're in the mood for a long dress this year, take it to the maxi. Shorter gals, don't overlook the maxi; my friend is 5'2" and it made her look heads taller.

Spice up your Holiday ensemble with a collar necklace. This newfound adornment is a happy medium between the old school choker and the classic necklace. It takes form in a wide array of materials ranging from leather and studs to sparkly gems. These necklaces give off a modern Cleopatra aura and make for the perfect statement piece. I wonder if it'll grant me her magical man powers as well . . .

She's the life of the party. You have her to thank for all the rad soirees you've experienced. To ensure she continues to count you as her plus one, get her something dazzling this holiday. Believe it or not, shopping for Party Girl is simple. Her eyeballs swirl at the sight of sequins, fun jewels, and party tops.

Nothing says party girl quite like champagne. With this Juicy Couture Limited Edition Flute Charm ($48) she can wear her love of socializing on her sleeve.

The first thing I thought when I saw Victoria Beckham leaving London's Heathrow Airport is, I wonder if she's wearing anything underneath that extraordinary coat. Hot! The singer jet set to LA in a gray coat with gold buttons, a cool fedora, and of course, her Hermes bag. I admire that in the battle between comfort and sophistication, the latter always wins for Victoria. If you can't pull this look off on a plane, a swanky party is also a good venue.

Ruffles are here to stay. Yay. But ruffles can be so . . . girlie. Not a bad thing, but what about when you're feeling randy? Plunging ruffles are the ticket to subtle sexiness. Perfect for date night, these tops and dresses are smooth operators.

To many, the color nude immediately conjures up images of granny underwear. It's time to banish those images and welcome nude with open arms. It's already gearing up to be one of the colors of the season, so start incorporating it into your wardrobe. It should be easy because the color is not limited only to tops. It's current on dresses, skirts, footwear, bags, you name it.

If you're still hesitant, buy a nude item that incorporates black in it, like this Marciano Agathe Tank ($88). For a more casual approach, invest in a few nude tees and tanks like Leighton Meester.

Her Madge-esty looked fittingly regal and gothic when she recently donned Givenchy's multi-layer chain necklace from his Fall collection. Something about the combination of all-black and heavy Mr. T-style chains is seriously lethal, in a good way. We can thank the brand's designer Riccardo Tisci for injecting feminine goth into our closets. Now if only said injection didn't bruise our bank accounts so badly . . .

Look who left behind her pencil skirts and ruffle tops and decided to show some leg. Hayden Panettiere exited the MTV studios looking an ideal combination of sexy and cool. To achieve this look, she wore a black fitted turtleneck dress, topped with an edgy biker-style leather jacket. She broke up the black streak by throwing on Christian Louboutin's red suede pumps and red lipstick. A sparkly black clutch and some silver jewels complete this sassy look. I like this bold side of Hayden, do you?
