Jessica Alba is a pro when it comes to street style, so it should come as no surprise that her latest NYC ensemble — Ralph Lauren black leather biker jacket ($5,350) and blue Joie trousers ($126, originally $258) — had us doing a double take. Jessica paired her bold separates with a white tank, a black Ralph Lauren chain-strap crossbody bag, matching studded flats, and a few gold accessories. The actress has been spotted working her new favorite topper on many occasions, and we especially love this low-key look. Re-create Jessica's NYC-cool look by styling her exact jacket and trousers with a white tank, studded flats, and a black crossbody bag for a day of shopping.

Jessica Alba arrived at her NYC hotel looking part sweet, part badass in a flowy printed Prabal Gurung skirt and a black leather biker jacket by Ralph Lauren ($5,350). This isn't the first time we've spotted Jessica working this supple leather topper, but this girlie-gone-edgy style is much different from her preppy New York Fashion Week look. The actress layered her jacket with a black tank, then accessorized with stunning Rupert Sanderson t-strap sandals ($985), cool cat-eye shades, and a padlock Dolce & Gabbana leather bag — available in a lighter hue here ($1,975). Shop Jessica's exact biker jacket to pair with everything from full feminine skirts to skinny jeans to sheath dresses.

by Mandi Villa

Jessica Alba may have been dubbed "the queen of layering" by her stylist Brad Goreski, but her latest NYC look has her taking on a new title as the master of unexpected combos. The actress paired an edgy black-cropped leather biker jacket ($5,350) with a yellow plaid midi skirt, both by Ralph Lauren, to create the perfect edgy-meets-dainty ensemble. Her black-on-black basics — cap-sleeve top, t-strap sandals, and matching clutch — were the perfect canvas to make her bold bottoms pop. Work your plaid skirt with a leather jacket and black sandals to channel Jessica's Fashion-Week style.

Ralph Lauren Spring 2013

The Ralph Lauren girl likes to travel.

by Christina Perez

The Ralph Lauren girl likes to travel. The countryside of England, the American Southwest — she frequents those places often, and over the course of several decades, those locales have seeped quite seamlessly into her elegant American sportswear look.

But for Spring 2013, she's headed to new, uncharted territory: Spain and Latin America. And, actually, come to think of it, it's surprising that she hasn't been there before. Ruffles, embroideries, blanket stripes, beads, lace, and fringe — they're all things she's comfortable in. Especially when they come in the form of romantic silhouettes paired with her favorite side-leaning beret.
