Welcome to Friday, the wonderful day when we reveal CelebStyle's top stars of the week. We had quite the fashionable crew this week from Gwen Stefani's crisp and cool Cali look to Solange Knowles's vibrant printed blazer pairing and Dita Von Teese's sexy red sheath and leopard combo, with a few more including Dianna Agron, Katie Holmes, Selena Gomez, and Kate Moss. Check out all of our style-setting winners, find out why they were crowned, then shop one or all of their looks for yourself.
At Coach's Summer party in NYC, Dianna Agron stepped out in this beautiful Tracy Reese colorful, retro impressionist dress ($298). The actress was surrounded by a slew of Hollywood beauties, but her bright shift and stunning accessories — strappy sequin Miu Miu sandals, two-tone Coach sunglasses, and an oversized buckled belt — really made her stand out from the crowd. If you, too, want to brighten things up, shop Dianna's exact dress to pair with neutral wedges for brunch, bright sandals for date night, or these gold Diane von Furstenberg sandals ($298) for a Summer wedding.
Anthropologie just nabbed Tracy Reese as one of its designers for its Made in Kind May collection. With three frock-filled collections on her own — Tracy Reese, Plenty, and Frock — it's safe to say the designer knows a thing or two about creating cute and flattering dresses for all kinds of women. Her new line for Anthropologie, launching tomorrow, was inspired by rich garden landscapes from a visit to Frida Kahlo's museum, resulting in ladylike flora-filled dresses. Some are treated with oversize bow embellishments, while others feature delicate lace dipped in a saturated teal hue. The best part? The modest hemlines and pretty prints can easily take you from a long day at work to tea time in 30 seconds flat with just a few simple accessory swaps. Tracy Reese's seven-piece collection for Anthropologie ranges from $248 to $348; see the complete collection now in the slideshow.
>> Hot off the heels of last month's highly successful Made in Kind debut, Anthropologie has announced that Tracy Reese will be among the latest batch of designers to be featured in the May installment of the online collaboration platform.
Available April 27, Reese's seven-piece capsule will be made up of bright lace and photo-printed dresses, all with the same girlie, vintage vibe the designer is known for. Inspired by the gardens of the Frida Kahlo museum, the collection will be priced around $248 to $348 — much like Reese's already-existing Frock and Plenty diffusion lines. Alongside Reese's collection, Made in Kind's May offering will also feature pieces from UK designer Charlotte Taylor, whose collection of op-art printed shifts and jumpsuits will be priced from $118 to $268, and Byron Lars, whose eight-piece capsule of folk-tinged dresses and tops — titled Beguile by Byron Lars — will be priced from $90 to $280.
Also on tap this time around are a range of pieces designed by a variety of India-based designers under the India Collections marquis, as well as new pieces from last month's partners Karen Walker, Place National, and John Patrick for O by Organic. A sampling of all those — plus more — right here in the slideshow.
A departure from the darker hues on the runway, the Fall 2012 Tracy Reese collection featured bright yellow, orange, and colorful floral patterns for next season. Even lighter shades of purple were played up on the catwalk. Fur accents and oversized sunglasses were seen on models, proving there is always room for a bit of fun even in colder weather. Check out the rest of the show here!
Need even more proof that street style is having a huge influence on the runways? Look to Tracy Reese, who went for what she calls an "accessible" look. That's not to say that the collection or beauty look lacked polish, though. Though the styles weren't overly complex, they were cohesive as a whole. "The clothes are meant to be worn by normal people," Reese said. "When the complete look comes together, it sends a head-to-toe message." Read on to see how that look came together.
Blair Waldorf was picture-perfect getting cozy with her fiancé, Louis, in this week's episode of Gossip Girl. Blair looked like a princess-in-training in her floral D&G blouse, high-waist Tracy Reese trousers, and Valentino bracelet. We added platform loafers, oversize onyx earrings, and pink lipstick to finish off Miss Waldorf's adorable ensemble. Shop now to copy this ladylike look.

It was a pocket full of posies for Tracy Reese today at her Spring runway show. Forming a juxtaposition between romance and sport, Reese created a colorful collection filled with pretty botanical prints and colors. Anorak jackets tempered feminine floral sequin tees and sweet bathing suit rompers, while peacock blue high-waist leather shorts added a modern edge to buttercup floral blouses. For dresses, Reese showed a range of styles from ruched body-con one-shoulder dresses to pretty, picnic-ready posy print dresses in a flowy flattering fit. Fluid palazzo pants and jumpsuits, lace inset maxi skirts, and our favorite, sheer striped linen dresses and skirts, further the languid, effortless tone. For extra flourish, Reese accessorized with structured statement hats from Jennifer Ouellette and even threw in a couple of throwback floral print umbrellas. So cute. More details from the show below.
