Happy Holidays from Kate Moss at Topshop!

Kate Moss clearly loves the holidays.

Kate Moss clearly loves the holidays. She decided to sugar coat her latest Topshop collection, with sweet frocks and light hearted whimsy.

As if! This is the Kate Moss I know and love. When Kate rocks it she rocks it hard and she has shown her true edginess with her holiday offerings, as shown in this month's i-D magazine.

While peroxided chunky hair normally screams Blondie to me, Kate the reinventor has done just that, and with her certain je ne sais quoi. With the mix of blacker than black pieces, skin as accessory and beads and sequins, this collection may be her best collection yet.

The holidays are right around the corner and chances are you'll be attempting a plunging neckline if you want a sexy look. This Jean Paul Gaultier Racerback Empire Dress, $2,485, is sophisticated and revealing at the same time. If you're going to take the plunge, literally, you must be well equipped in order to avoid some nippleage in front of the in-laws.

I Want This Wardrobe: Gossip Girl, Blair Waldorf

In last night's episode, prior to the drama with the photo shoot, Blair and Serena went on a mini shopping spree.

In last night's episode, prior to the drama with the photo shoot, Blair and Serena went on a mini shopping spree. Well, not so mini considering the shopping bags they're toting. Serena chose to go casual in her grey skinny Wrangler jeans, BCBG denim vest and Gucci Indy bag. As usual, Blair was dressed up in a Milly dress, black tights and oxford pumps.

This is one of my favorite Blair looks so far because she looks polished and a tad androgynous. Though sometimes she overdoes it with the tights, they go really well with this outfit. If you'd like to go shopping and look this chic, get her look below.

Oh, and don't forget to take our Gossip Girl quiz!

Battle of the Lhuillier: Gayheart vs. Menounos

Rebecca and Maria have more in common than I would have thought; style-wise, anyway.

Rebecca and Maria have more in common than I would have thought; style-wise, anyway. They both chose metallic Lhuillier gowns paired with black open-toed shoes. But the similarities end there: Rebecca went the LBD route with full tulle skirt and keyhole top, while Maria chose a pewter high-necked, more fitted option. I'm leaning more towards Maria's ensemble — what about you?

Battle of the Lhuillier: Von Teese vs. Grace

LBDs ruled the carpet at Monique Lhullier's LA store opening last night.

LBDs ruled the carpet at Monique Lhullier's LA store opening last night. The always-gorgeous Dita Von Teese went the glam route (surprise, surprise!) in a ruffled silk Lhuillier LBD. Maggie Grace went for a sharper look in a one-shoulder LBD. I prefer Dita's look because she spices it up with red nail polish and red lips. Who gets your vote?

Battle of the Lhuillier: Mara vs. Bell

When I saw these PYTs in lovely Monique Lhuillier frocks for the LA store opening I had to have them battle it out!

When I saw these PYTs in lovely Monique Lhuillier frocks for the LA store opening I had to have them battle it out! Lhuillier is both a red carpet and party favorite, so we see her creations a lot — but I never seem to tire of it. These looks, as modeled by Kate Mara and Kristen Bell, are pretty different but both have some asymmetrical detailing going on. Which is your fave?!

Celebrity Style: Eva Mendes

Eva looks devilishly good in Zac Posen, which she wore for an appearance on Letterman last night to promote her new movie We Own the Night.

Eva looks devilishly good in Zac Posen, which she wore for an appearance on Letterman last night to promote her new movie We Own the Night. The dress hugs her in all the right places (although maybe a bit too much around the hips?), and the copper-tone pumps set off her warm complexion perfectly. Viva la Eva!
