The blond beauty tucked this sleeveless DSquared blouse ($446, originally $557) into her edgy skirt, then accessorized with black suede ankle-strap wedges and a studded leather clutch. Mimic Nicky's latest look by pairing her exact coat and blouse with a trendy leather skirt and suede pumps for your next date night.
Is there any party like a Stella McCartney pre-collection party? As she's done before, the designer brought her Pre-Fall offering to New York City and presented it as part of a lavish cocktail party. This week's event at the Americas Society drew a number of McCartney's boldfaced fans: Anna Wintour, Garance Doré, and Glenn Close were spotted in the crowd, and so were Alec Baldwin, his wife Hilaria Thomas, and Jessica and Jerry Seinfeld.
But not even stars that bright could outshine the models or what they were wearing: Hanne Gaby Odiele, for example, was spotted sitting on a comfortable-looking chair. If she weren't dressed in head-to-toe McCartney, she would have looked like any other chic partygoer.
That might be because the clothes themselves were designed, in McCartney's words, to "address every need of the modern woman's wardrobe." Odiele's dress was a long-sleeved gown in black and white, but the collection featured plenty of functional coats (some double-breasted varietals feature lapels so wide they span their wearer's shoulders) and no shortage of well-tailored separates. The tone-on-tone floral prints in oxblood and dark blue add visual interest, and so do the stripes in black, white, orange, and red.

Stella McCartney just revealed her pre-Fall '13 collection filled with covetable pieces we'd like to get our hands on now. A select few, like Anna Wintour, Kim Cattrall, and Mary-Louise Parker, were able to see the collection in the flesh last night at an intimate soiree in NYC — but we have all the newly released photos from Stella's lookbook for you to check out right here. Staying true to her penchant for effortless silhouettes, Stella highlighted sleek separates in the way of boxy oversize coats, printed bomber jackets, loose trousers, and billowy blouses. Bold stripes were splashed on trousers, dresses, and even on gowns, emoting a chic, sportif feel everywhere you looked. Meanwhile, intricate embroidered capes and blazers injected an opulent touch to Stella's streamlined offerings. Our favorite piece? A slouched navy jumpsuit featuring a drop waist and metallic links across the chest — sport-chic at its best. Check out the rest of Stella McCartney's pre-Fall '13 in the slideshow now, and tell us what you think in the comments section below.

In just a few easy steps, you will have your own heels just like Kristen's! On Allison McNamara: Topshop dress, H&M necklace.

It seems Miranda Kerr has a thing for yellow these days. First she sported a yellow sweater with jeans, and just a few days later she showed off a bright-yellow Stella McCartney blazer while heading into Whole Foods in West Hollywood. The model tempered her bold blazer via a floral Erdem top, a miniskirt, and nude pumps, then added these Stella McCartney tortoiseshell sunglasses ($190) and a black Miu Miu crossbody bag to round out her style. To re-create Miranda's latest look, just throw on a yellow blazer over your ensembles, from skirts to dresses to jeans.
Jenna Dewan stepped out of a nail salon in West Hollywood looking fabulous as ever in this Leon Maxi black-and-white heart-print dress ($228, originally $348) and killer black leather over-the-knee boots. The pregnant actress also sported a black leather jacket for warmth, shielded her eyes via cat-eye sunglasses, and carried this Stella McCartney chain-handle bag ($1,095) on her arm. We love that she showed off just a bit of cleavage but kept the rest of herself covered up. With child or not, re-create Jenna's latest look by pairing your flowy Summer dresses with over-the-knee statement boots for a wintery take.
