Rose Byrne stepped into Fall fashion in style as she left the Late Show With David Letterman in New York City. Rose's Dolce & Gabbana dress combined two of Fall's go-to colors and prints — dark green and leopard. She paired her fierce frock with peep-toe Sergio Rossi pumps, a gold accented belt, and a matching heart pendant. We added a gold pyramid ring and hot-pink nail polish to complete her late-night style — shop it all now.

One-Minute Makeover Tip: Belt It

Ever look at yourself in the mirror and wish you looked just a tad better, a touch chicer, a bit more polished?

Ever look at yourself in the mirror and wish you looked just a tad better, a touch chicer, a bit more polished? We have, which is why we're introducing our quick-hit tips for instant style gratification. There are some very simple things you can do to instantly improve your look, and it doesn't require money or loads of time. We culled our adorable Fab readers for inspiration. First up, a trick we love: belt it.

  • Cinching the waist with a wide or skinny belt is maybe the easiest way to flatter your figure. For fuller figures, try a wider belt to balance your curves and hug your waistline.
  • It doesn't require an entirely new outfit, no new purchases, just the simple addition of a waist-defining belt on any of your looks.
  • It instantly draws attention to your narrowest point, and works for all body types — and nearly every occasion.
  • Keep a couple of belts in your office drawer — if you find you're going out for a post-work drink, you can elevate that work dress instantly.

Reese Witherspoon's Go-To: Wren Skirts

There's more than one common denominator among Reese Witherspoon's casual cute looks.

There's more than one common denominator among Reese Witherspoon's casual cute looks. Aside from the peep-toes, wedges, and knits, Wren skirts are also a constant for the sweetly styled actress. She's been spotted out and about in LA giving the brand's flouncy skirts a summery spin. At the start of the Summer, she channeled on-point seasonal style in a sunny yellow version and gray tank, then opted for a polished on-the-go vibe in a neutral-hued Wren mini. Her latest plays perfectly to high Summer with espadrilles, a beaded necklace, and a light, stripey Wren skirt to tie it all together. What we've long-loved about Reese's signature style is its casual, and still pulled-together vibe. The key is outfit versatility, and Reese's Wren minis are perfect for changing up a look by adding a cardigan, tee, or tank, and simply changing up her footwear. Want to get your own? We're loving Wren's tie-dye version ($149, originally $249), to wear now and into early Fall.
