Emmy Rossum shined bright at the 21st annual "A Night at Sardi's" gala benefiting the Alzheimer's Association, and it had everything to do with her gilded look. The actress — who has admitted to not working with a stylist — didn't show any signs of personal-style shortcomings, taking a strong head-to-toe stance on shades of gold. For those of us that find Spring's metallic trend a little daunting, Rossum's ensemble provides a little (or a lot) of inspiration to cull from, and here's how.
Instead of going the sexier high-shine route, the brunette beauty chose a gold sequin-covered Tory Burch tea-length dress from the designer's Spring '13 collection. The longer hemline provided an immediate ladylike effect, and rather than shying away from the eye-catching hue, she added equally cool gold Jimmy Choo sandals, gold bangles, and gold drop earrings into the mix. While it's a bold styling approach, notice that aside from the statement dress, she went with gold add-ons that complemented the central outfit piece rather than with accessories that overwhelmed. Rossum's commitment to gold-hued glamour is admirable and certainly something to emulate, but we know not everyone is ready to dive in head first. If you want to approach with caution, try styling a crisp white top with a muted gold pencil skirt, gold stud earrings, and a gold watch. For everything else, see our editors' shopping picks below.
Backstage at Tory Burch, models were having their hair twisted into styles that were more than a little reminiscent of the buns Princess Leia made famous in Star Wars.

Tory Burch showed an artful Fall 2013 collection Tuesday morning at the Pierre Hotel, citing the Neue Galerie, Gustav Klimt, and Lalique among her inspirations. The offering was rich with visual and literal texture: a dark-blue rose print on cream fabric was turned into a coat and a handbag, while other pieces were adorned with lace, sequins, crystals, and oversize bits of colored metal. But it wasn't just the clothing that got decorated; many of the shoes had dragonflies affixed to them that caught the light as the models came down the runway. Our full review will be posted shortly. In the meantime, please enjoy a first look at the collection.
Tory Burch went uptown for Fall 2013, showing her ladylike collection in a jewel-like ballroom at the famed Pierre hotel. Inspired by Gustav Klimt's swirling paintings, Burch sent out pieces that worked day to night in soft teal, blush, navy, and maroon. Sparkling details abounded, from embroidered coats to glittering collars on pleated dresses. Jewelry was a standout as well with scarab and firefly motif pieces throughout.
Tory Burch has mastered a simple yet chic beauty look that's easy to pull off. From slicked-back ponytails and voluminous blowouts to wearable smoky eyes and glowing skin, the hair and makeup she sends down the runways are just as covetable as her iconic accessories.
Jessica Alba is in Paris enjoying all the fabulous Paris Couture Fashion Week festivities as we speak. But before she got dolled up for the front rows, she showed off her expert layering skills at the airport. The actress started with black basics, which were the perfect base for her eye-catching and cozy Tory Burch green wool Katie coat ($681, originally $851). She, then, finished her look off with black multi-buckle booties (with playful purple socks peeking out) and a wool hat. Score Jessica's exact Tory Burch coat now — or if the discounted price tag is still too steep, check out some of these less-expensive (but equally cool alternatives): BB Dakota's evergreen coat ($78, originally $130), Calvin Klein's faux leather-trim coat ($110, originally $325), and Lands' End's dark green cocoon coat ($100, originally $200).
While attending an event in NYC this morning, Twilight actress Nikki Reed looked polished (with a hint of preppy) in this Tory Burch plaid coat ($348, originally $695), which is currently half off! On bottom she sported black J Brand jeans and black lace-up Rebecca Minkoff boots ($325), then she added a much-needed pop of color via a mustard sweater. A bold orange lip and a gold chain necklace lent just a little bit more interest to her event style. Shop Nikki's exact plaid coat — only available in size four — to take you through the rest of Winter with polish. Throw it on over everything from your little black dresses at night to wide-leg trousers and silky blouses at work to jeans and tees on the weekends. If you love the look but your size isn't available, shop similar plaid coats on ShopStyle.
