Kristen Stewart really turned up the fashion volume in a black and white Balenciaga getup at the premiere of On the Road at the AFI Fest in LA! The actress chose a revealing white crop top with a pair of black high-waist trousers, then finished off with slick black patent pointy pumps. Red lips and a few demure jewels completed Kristen's bold red-carpet style. What we love most about this ensemble is that it balances sexy up top with fashion-forward on bottom. If you dare, mimic Kristen's latest look at your next party by pairing a white crop top with black high-waist pants. Complete your look with red lips and killer black pumps for major oomph.

We would expect nothing less than colored-denim perfection from colored-jean queen Jessica Alba, and the actress definitely delivered donning faded Mother Pop! green jeans ($126, originally $180) with python tassel loafers after enjoying breakfast with her family in Beverly Hills. Her Autumn-friendly bottoms and red nail polish added a pop of color to her layered look — brown boyfriend blazer, nude tank, and charcoal scarf — while her python shoes injected a touch of glamour. Score Jessica's exact bottoms to work with your neutral staples, then slip on a pair of textured snakeskin loafers to really nail this flawless Fall look.

Eva Mendes was a vision of retro sexiness in her black lace Dolce & Gabbana dress at the 2012 AFI Fest red carpet in LA. We can't stop staring at her entire ensemble, especially her sheer lace sleeves and sweetheart neckline. We also love the demure knee-length hemline of her little black dress, as well as her choice of accessories: black Brian Atwood pumps, an embellished black Sergio Rossi clutch, a cuff bracelet, and oversize drop earrings. To get Eva's nighttime ladylike look, shop one of our favorite black lace dresses below. Remember to pick something fitted, preferably with a longer hemline, to show off your figure and really nail that retro vibe. Also check out other stars in black lace dresses, perfect for the upcoming holiday party season.

We firmly believe that it takes only a minute to change your look with the right ingredients and a fresh set of eyes. Today, we're helping refresh your wardrobe with one easy styling trick and a piece you likely already have in your closet. The arrival of Fall and Winter usually means we bury our Summer maxi dresses and skirts, but we're all about taking them out of hiding to well, maximize, their potential with a few seasonal layers. Just take a cue from the style setters below: making the most of your maxi is just about giving it a Fall feel.

• The first thing to know — it doesn't matter what color or what fabric your maxi is. Even if you're working with a sheer finish or a creamy white hue, you can give your dress or skirt a more apropos seasonal twist with the other pieces you add in. For instance, if you have a sheer maxi or one with a slit, layer it up underneath with tights for added warmth.
• The most essential part of this look is how you top it off. Because the skirt and dress can feel floaty and at odds with the weather, anchor it with weightier, warmer pieces up top. Try a leather jacket and a cashmere pullover to offset the bottom half. If your dress has a slit, make it more daytime appropriate with a covered up jacket or a sophisticated blazer. Truthfully, these maxis work like a blank canvas, style them up with sweaters, furry vests, and heavier coats to shape them into unexpectedly seasonal outfits.
• Think of your footwear as the key to taking the look from day to night. Your footwear plays a crucial role in setting the tone for this look — with a flat, biker boot, this look becomes casual and daytime-accessible; with a heeled boot you can walk the line from day to night; and with a sexier ankle-strap you give the look a night-out feel.

Taylor Schilling worked an effortlessly edgy ensemble, complete with these Rag & Bone ankle boots ($495), at an event in NYC. Taylor isn't the first starlet to rock Rag & Bone's celeb-favorite Harrow bootie, but we particularly love how she styled hers with leather pants. The blond beauty then layered an oversize camel blazer over a classic chambray top, creating the perfect cool-girl combination. Test-drive this style for your next lunch date by pairing these faux leather pants ($245) with a chambray top, oversize blazer, and Taylor's exact booties.
