Celeb Style: Jessica Alba
The picture-perfect Alba-Warren clan donned Parisian-chic ensembles while grabbing lunch at Dominick's Italian restaurant in LA. Jessica chose a classic white and black look — layered sheer dress, fitted black blazer, and matching patent oxfords — while Honor spiced it up with a lace skirt, printed tights, and a knit beret. Lots of arm candy, a green envelope bag, and a top-knot bun finished off Jess's lunching style. Shop similar items here.

Countdown to NYE: Edie Sedgwick's '60s Cool

New Year's Eve may very well be your best excuse to get all dressed up, try something totally new, and make a major style statement — we consider it our duty to help you ring in the new year looking your most fabulous. To kick off our Countdown to NYE series, we're re-creating an outfit inspired by one of the ultimate '60s-era style icons, Edie Sedgwick. Edie had a ground-breaking aesthetic — short hair, dramatic eye makeup (it was said that she often wore multiple strips of false lashes), and thigh-baring hemlines. Her look is incredibly easy to channel and mostly defined by fitted silhouettes and a graphic black and white color palette. Once you've got your basics, just add a few key Edie-centric pieces: black tights, kitten heels, a faux-fur coat, and her signature oversize, shoulder-dusting earrings. Ready to rock it like Edie?

One-Minute Makeover Tip: Add a Burst of Burgundy
To reinvent the wardrobe wheel, look no further than the darkest reaches of your closet, where refreshed styling bounty awaits. We've tapped our style-savvy community and fashion-wise editors to breathe new life into pieces we already own. Rest assured, this one-minute makeover is sweet, simple, and budget-friendly — no strings attached. This week, we're in a merlot kind of mood; all you need to reinvent your look is a burst of burgundy.

- While a bright pop of color can add a neon-infused note to any look, a burst of dark red can inject just the right amount of sultry into an ensemble. Rock shades of maroon in a textured scarf, floppy brimmed hat, corduroy pants, or tailored blazer.
- Mix this cool tint with warmer layers — it's all about the unexpected accents and daring details. Whether it's a burgundy maxi skirt paired with a white button-up and mustard yellow sweater or a crimson-colored cardigan matched with toastier tones, this is an autumnal color that can transition seamlessly into a Winter outfit.
- Wear this burgundy hue in plush fabrics. Its deep, velvety complexion makes for a luxurious palette. We envision this cool color looking extra suave on a floor-length silk dress, felt smoking slippers, cable-knit sweaters, and suede knee-high boots.
