Reese Witherspoon's Way to Work Printed Skirts For Summer

Reese Witherspoon got all dressed up for a lunch in Malibu, and we're so glad she did because she gave us a fresh way to work our printed skirts this Summer.

Reese Witherspoon got all dressed up for a lunch in Malibu, and we're so glad she did because she gave us a fresh way to work our printed skirts this Summer. She started with a Rebecca Minkoff red-toned bandana mini ($288), then smartly tamed it with neutral add-ons. Up top, the star sported a white silk tank with a white blazer, then added a multi-strand coin necklace for major charm. She added colorblocked sandals and carried a white version of Proenza Schouler's PS1 handbag. But what's most appealing about Reese's look? It can be re-created in a variety of color palettes. For example, your blazer need not be white — it can be black or navy, too. To get Reese's exact style, shop similar pieces below.

Jessica Alba Stuns (Twice) at the Guys Choice Awards — Which Look Wins?

Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards is technically all about the boys, but we think Jessica Alba stole the show in not one, but two sexy looks.

Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards is technically all about the boys, but we think Jessica Alba stole the show in not one, but two sexy looks. Her first choice was a strapless, bright yellow, crocodile-print Versace dress that put both her décolletage and legs on display. For further fun, she added contrasting red pumps and a retro hairdo to finish. Then, for her onstage ensemble, Jessica changed into a more demure two-toned Narciso Rodriguez dress with embellished sandals and mini chandelier earrings. The first look didn't lack in the sass department, while Jessica's outfit change gave her an undeniably chic finish to the night.

Poppy added skinny jeans for a hint of cool, an ivory scarf for extra warmth, and a Louis Vuitton mini crossbody bag for some luxe. Finally, she finished with a pair of leopard loafers.

Nicole Kidman, Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Rooney Mara, and Carey Mulligan are just a few in a long list of fashion darlings and actresses to take Raf Simons from the runway to the red carpet. The latest is Jennifer Aniston, who chose a black strapless Dior minidress for the 2013 Guys Choice Awards. Ever since Belgian designer Simons, formerly of Jil Sander, took the reins at the legendary label, he's presented five exquisite collections. Naturally, stars like Cotillard (the face of Lady Dior) and Jennifer Lawrence (the face of Miss Dior handbags) have flocked to his jaw-dropping gowns, and we can totally see why. Simons is breathing new life into the design house by taking iconic past-collection references (think New Look from the 1940s) and updating them with a modern twist.

Alexa Chung was spotted in denim overalls — one of the more polarising of runway trends — while out in London, and we can't say that we're surprised by her cool-cum-classic styling skills. To keep things on the effortless side, Alexa sported a basic white tee, then added mega pizzazz via just three little accessories: mirrored sunglasses, cap-toe ballet flats, and a Louis Vuitton satchel. The flats lent feminine flair, her bag a hint of luxe, and the sunglasses a trendy twist. We're loving Alexa's not-so-masculine take on overalls, so to get in on the fun, shop similar pieces below.
