Layering your Winter clothes — without adding bulk — can be one of the biggest styling challenges during the cold-weather season. But when the temperatures drop, there's no other way to stay seriously warm than to pile it on. That's why we're showing you five ways to layer like a pro. We guarantee you'll look sleek and chic — without ever sacrificing heat!
You already know what big fans we were of Kristen Bell's "Grecian goddess" Golden Globes look, and it turns out that the mom-to-be can turn out equally impressive ensembles for more casual affairs. She made an appearance at the premiere of The Lifeguard at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, UT, looking lovely in a purple tunic and black leather Isabella Oliver jacket. While the jacket is currently sold out, we've found similar pieces to those she was wearing, so you can get the star's casual, chic film-festival getup.
No matter how you spin it, Jennifer Hudson and Alicia Keys took a no-holds-barred approach to evening-gown glamour and the stage. Which is exactly why we're putting their fashionable fate in your hands. Jennifer performed in a body-hugging black halter gown, glitter-soled platform pumps, and voluminous waves to serenade the Obamas' first dance with a sweet rendition of Al Green's "Let's Stay Together." The flattering formfitting shape of the dress complemented her svelte silhouette but never felt too sexy for the event. While Jennifer's ensemble was totally breathtaking, if you're looking a jaw-dropper, then look no further than Alicia Keys's red beaded Michael Kors gown and matching red peep-toe heels. The songstress performed a remixed version of "Girl on Fire," called "Obama's on Fire," in a shimmery long-sleeved, ruched-bodice number that — while somewhat modest from the front — revealed a sexy cutout in the back. Her diamond drop earrings and diamond-encrusted bangles polished off her red-hot statement look. So, whose ensemble gets your vote: Jennifer's black, body-skimming gown or Alicia's beaded red one?

We were right on the money when we guessed Emily Blunt would wear this gold cutout Michael Kors number! And how amazing does it look from the back, too? We're so glad she chose this mermaid-silhouette gown because she looks golden, literally. Not to mention, we love that the actress added a much-needed pop of color via matching pink earrings, bracelet, and ring. Then for even more shine, Emily carried a Salvatore Ferragamo glitter box clutch. What do you think?

A look back at all the Pre-Fall 2013 collections we've seen so far.
Jessica Chastain was spotted outside Walter Kerr Theater in NYC looking chic in black, white, and red. The actress started off with a black-and-white striped dress, sheer black tights, black patent boots, and a black Michael Kors coat, then added pops of red via a patent bag and red lipstick. Square sunglasses and silver hoop earrings completed her minimalist style. Re-create Jessica's latest look by making your striped dresses Winter-chic via tights, boots, and a cozy coat. Add in splashes of red to get that bold retro touch.
Here's your first 2013 (style) shake-up: Zac Posen will replace Michael Kors as a judge on the new season of Project Runway, which airs Jan. 24. The reason for the change? Scheduling conflicts on Kors's part. Posen, who's no stranger to the panel (he's appeared on the show as a guest judge in the past), tweeted earlier, "So excited to be the new judge on @ProjectRunway Season 11!" And, while the show's host and executive producer, Heidi Klum shares Posen's excitement — she took to Twitter to welcome him — she also tweeted, "I will miss you this season my brother @Michael Kors I love you!" This won't be the last you'll be seeing of Kors, though. He'll take up his judging post for the show's always epic season finale. Now that you've had a few seconds to process the news, we want to know your thoughts: are you excited to have a fresh face on the panel lineup? Or, are you sad that Michael Kors won't be a permanent Project Runway fixture anymore?
If 2013 wasn't going to be a big enough year for Zac Posen, it just got bigger.
Posen announced on Tuesday he is "so excited to be the new judge on @ProjectRunway Season 11!" He later tweeted, "It's going to be quite the season."
Posen will replace Michael Kors, who will sit out this season due to scheduling conflicts. But Kors isn't leaving the show altogether: he'll rejoin the judges' panel as a guest during the season finale. Heidi Klum, the show's executive producer, tweeted "I will miss you this season my brother @MichaelKors I love you!" before welcoming Posen to the team.
Posen, who has been a guest judge on the show in the past, called the job "an amazing opportunity. I hope I'm here to give a new perspective to the designers."
The new season of Project Runway debuts on Jan. 24, but it won't be the only place Posen will appear on TV next year. His Spring 2013 runway show was filmed for an episode of the new modeling reality series The Face.
