Sienna Miller wore a Topshop dress and held hands with her future sister-in-law, Matilda Sturridge, when the two attended Vanity Fair's Tribeca Film Festival party in NYC last night. Sienna's night out with Matilda comes after a day out with Tom Sturridge in Manhattan earlier this week. The couple squeezed in a bit of alone time following a weekend with their daughter, Marlowe.
Sienna and Matilda were joined at the event by Evan Rachel Wood, who cradled her baby bump in a black flowing dress. Evan vented about attending the star-studded bash while being with child since she couldn't partake in any of the booze-related festivities. She tweeted, "I love that I am going to a cocktail party tonight, but I can't have any cocktails. It's like a birthday with no cake." Also on hand at the fashionable fete was model Karolina Kurkova, TFF fixture Robert De Niro, and Whoopi Goldberg.

Is there anything more Fall-appropriate than a maroon lipstick color? Three ladies stepped out this week showing off the quintessential Autumn hue. Designer Rachel Roy paired a semimatte color with a serious smoky eye at the CFDA Awards. Christina Ricci showed up to the same event wearing a more sheer shade, and actress Sarah Hyland gave her maroon lipstick a little gloss. Three different ways to wear the color — but which one do you like best?
Rachel Roy may have matched the black and white backdrop at the NYC screening of Rust and Bone, but she definitely made a loud statement in her fuzzy white Mongolian fur vest. The designer layered her luxe topper over a white cashmere sweater, then slid on a pair of slick black leather pants and matching Rachel Roy boots ($495). She completed her red-carpet ensemble with a gray crocodile tote, a silver square-face watch, and sparkling diamond studs. Rachel's latest look proves that fur vests are still a thing, so style yours with black leather pants and ankle boots or swap the pants and boots for a black sheath dress and patent pumps for a ladylike touch.
It's no secret that printed jeans and chambray shirts have become a Hollywood fashion staple, but there is one label in particular, Current/Elliott, that has celebrities totally obsessed.

A slew of other starlets have been spotted donning Current/Elliott's must-have denim, so find out who else has fallen in love with the brand, then shop their looks — including exact pieces — for yourself.
