Who Wore It Better? Louis Vuitton Embellished LBD

Two gorgeous women, one stunning dress.

Two gorgeous women, one stunning dress. This is going to be an interesting fashion brawl! Heidi Klum first wore this Louis Vuitton Spring '09 embellished LBD back in '08. She also wore the runway accessories — frilly sandals and stacked bangles. Jennifer Lopez attempted the same dress at Scott Barnes's book launch in NYC. Her accessories of choice are ankle-strap Loubs and a chunky cocktail ring. Both are undeniably sexy, but whose version do you love more?

Sneak Peek! Jonathan Saunders For Topshop

Jonathan Saunders is still going strong with his collaboration with Topshop. While his past collections with the retail giant were bright and bold, his latest offerings hit a different note. "My collection for Topshop this season has been inspired by sportswear and workwear, as well as the bold and graphic shapes of the Memphis movement. It’s perfect for urban city dwellers," said Saunders. His new line, debuting Jan. 22, takes on a more minimal approach using geometric shapes and color blocking techniques. The only colors used are black and white, with tricolor denim as the focal point. I like how the '90s-inspired silhouettes are tempered with his iconic modern prints. Keep on to see more from his latest collection!

Rachel Bilson Designs For Charity

Rachel Bilson recently used her fashion designing skills to help out the nonprofit Diamond Empowerment Fund (DEF).

Rachel Bilson recently used her fashion designing skills to help out the nonprofit Diamond Empowerment Fund (DEF). Touched by a visit to Botswana and South Africa to learn more about the diamond mining industry, the actress designed this sweet Leather Bracelet ($100) to help purchase student housing for the CIDA City Campus in Johannesburg (Africa's first free university). This bracelet is a far cry from the per usual charity tee. It's simple and chic — the leather cords are ideal for everyday wear, and the diminutive diamond adds a smart, conscious touch. Faboo.

Celeb Style: Stella McCartney

Stella McCartney added a little pep to what appeared to be an otherwise dreary day in London, all thanks to her cheery red military coat (shop a similar version by Anne Klein).

Stella McCartney added a little pep to what appeared to be an otherwise dreary day in London, all thanks to her cheery red military coat (shop a similar version by Anne Klein). This piece was certainly the show-stopper of the outfit, but her knee-high boots, skinny jeans, and black sunglasses were just as cool. A gray sweater and earrings flesh out the look. Shop it now.

Private Practice Style: Naomi Bennett

In this scene from Private Practice, Naomi looks chic (yet quite upset) in her favorite designer, Elie Tahari of course.

In this scene from Private Practice, Naomi looks chic (yet quite upset) in her favorite designer, Elie Tahari of course. She accentuates her waist with a belt by Elegantly Waisted, and adds Giuseppe Zanotti heels and Peggi Li jewels to complete the ensemble. This dress has a similar feel, as does this belt, so be sure to shop it all here!
