Shailene Woodley Style

Shailene Woodley has been popping up on our radar a lot lately, and we're pretty stoked about it. The 20-year-old actress first gained notoriety for her role as Amy Juergens in the ABC Family series The Secret Life of the American Teenager, but has hit superstar status since costarring alongside George Clooney last year in The Descendants. With a much buzzed-about film comes numerous red-carpet opportunities, and Shailene has been handling her newfound spotlight like a pro — she's already proven that she isn't afraid to take a risk or buck the trend and still feel comfortable in her own skin. Just the other night at InStyle's Golden Globes afterparty, Shailene traded her high heels for a pair of Vibram FiveFingers running shoes — a bold move for any starlet, but especially for one so new to the fashion world's hypercritical lens. We love Shailene's red carpet confidence, and can't wait to see more of her classic yet bold, laid-back style choices. Click through to see 10 recent examples of why Shailene Woodley is one to watch.

Peek Inside Alice + Olivia's Spring '12 Garden Party Lookbook

Alice + Olivia's Spring '12 collection is an ultra-feminine mix of flowy separates and expertly draped dresses — and we can't help but think we've happened upon a whimsical Alice in Wonderland garden tea party.

Alice + Olivia's Spring '12 collection is an ultra-feminine mix of flowy separates and expertly draped dresses — and we can't help but think we've happened upon a whimsical Alice in Wonderland garden tea party. We're particularly taken with the shimmery metallic minis, long pastel-hued frocks, and wide leg printed pants for all our future warm weather outings. The line sticks to Spring's go-to light color palette: silvers, whites, minty greens, pale blues, canary yellows, and girlie pink tones. And it presents our favorite ladylike silhouettes, including the peplum pop, drop-waist details, and super-sexy sheer cutouts. Read below for our must-have items, then click through to see the Spring collection in full.

  • Every girl should have a LWD like this one. Its flirty mashup of sheer, lace, and fringe combines sweet dressing elements into one subtly sexy look.
  • We're loving the overflow of pastels and this sweet spearmint maxi is no exception. Let these Spring-specific shades speak for themselves — a simple cinch, nude wedges, and a romantic updo are all you need to complement Alice + Olivia's designs.
  • You can never go wrong with a gorgeous print. Whether it's animal-inspired or floral-heavy, these seasonless patterns can easily translate into fun layering pieces for those outfit drama days.

Look of the Day: Green Envy

Fab reader Dadouchic injected her cold weather ensemble with a blast of green and subtle pinks. She paired her teal trousers with a sweet blush-hued camisole and a camel-colored blazer. For an extra dose of pastel vibrancy, she cuffed the tailored sleeves to show off satin pink lining details, added a metallic bangle, and wore an orange wrist-wrap. She wrapped up the look with black round-toe pumps, a dark skinny belt, a bold red lip, and a gold cocktail ring. We love the expert color complementing — it's unexpected, but never overdone.

Congrats Dadouchic!
