Snake print has that uncanny ability to add sex appeal to any ensemble. And, after spying the ways Zoe Saldana, Doutzen Kroes, Natasha Yarovenko, and Kate Hudson are styling their summery snake print pieces, we're convinced it's one of the chicest ways to add something on the sultrier side for evening. The luxe snakeskin or snake print additions look particularly seasonal in bright hues, like Doutzen's bright blue box clutch and Zoe's bold purple clutch, or on a flowy maxi and sandals à la Natasha. We have a soft spot for the sophisticated snakeskin classics, and Kate Hudson's sleek clutch, which makes a cool accompaniment against a black gown or cocktail dress, is a perfect way to wear it.

>> Rachel Zoe has "no idea" what annual sales might be for her new eponymous collection, which hits a long list of stores in July: Nordstrom, Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s, Intermix, Selfridges, Kirna Zabete, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, and Shopbop.com. But she says she went numb when she heard who had bought the line: “It was this dream that I never thought would be reality because I was petrified — I was. I feel so complete now becoming a designer and having my son. I’m that happiest that I’ve ever been in my life.”

Neiman Marcus, for one, is launching Zoe's sportswear, handbags, and shoes at all 41 of its doors, plus online and at Bergdorf Goodman; "The rollout across the entire Neiman Marcus Group is a rare endorsement of a fledgling brand," WWD notes. Why the decision? "She is a real talent,” Ken Downing, SVP and fashion director of Neiman Marcus, notes of Zoe. “She understands the customer and she’s brought an effortless chic to the collection. The clothes are going to appeal to women of many ages. And, she’s got an amazing name.”

Next up for Zoe? The fourth season of The Rachel Zoe Project, which will begin airing on Bravo in July; and jewelry for Fall 2012. “I wish it were for spring,” Zoe says. “I am dying to do jewelry. I’m gagging.”

It wasn't sequins or any ornately embellished dress that caught our attention, but when Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in NYC last night, we couldn't help but take note of her simple, yet sexy tank dress. The Altuzarra dress Miss Lawrence chose for her appearance on David Letterman was styled up with a few key accessories, making it a perfect how-to in dressing up any other little dress with the same tank dress silhouette and body-con fit.

• The key is choosing a tank dress that flatters your shape. Balance out your bottom half with a scoop neck, or flaunt your toned lower half in a shorter hemline. In any case, any added shape-wear underneath your dress will help to sculpt and slim your frame if you choose.
• While a tank dress isn't exactly typical event wear, Jennifer elevates hers — and defines her waist — with a sleek leather belt in a complimentary color.
• Lastly, do as Jennifer does and go for leg-elongating platforms, heels, or wedges. Forgoing the flats with help dress you up, and give you a longer line from head-to-toe, making you appear taller and thinner.
