The dress, which is from the designer's Fall '12 collection, is the perfect blend of effortless and sophisticated, and looks especially gorgeous with Diane's polished black pumps and loose updo; plus, we couldn't be more obsessed with the bold pop of red on the collar.

Cool Creatures: 20 Animal-Inspired Accessories to Inspire Your Wild Side

Yes, the leopard-print motif is here to stay, but along with this spotted trend, we're seeing a new breed of animal-inspired accessories crop up.


Yes, the leopard-print motif is here to stay, but along with this spotted trend, we're seeing a new breed of animal-inspired accessories crop up. On the Fall '12 runways, both Anna Sui and Burberry showed off a plethora of owl-infused pieces, and on the red carpet, we've seen countless iterations of the reptile pattern take hold. Case in point: Emma Stone's serpent-laden Lanvin sheath at W Magazine's Golden Globes party or Sofia Vergara's jewel-encrusted snake cuff at the New Year's Eve movie premiere. For the quirkier style set, look to ladybug earrings, elephant pendants, and retro cat brooches for a touch of cute-cum-exotic embellishing. The end goal is to take a walk on the wild side — and all you have to do is add a cool piece of jewelry to get the look. Click through below to see our editors' picks and shop your favorites.

Ombré Adds Personality to Kate Bosworth's Denim on Denim

After spotting Rihanna, and now Kate Bosworth, in denim on denim, we think this could be the new celebrity love affair.

After spotting Rihanna, and now Kate Bosworth, in denim on denim, we think this could be the new celebrity love affair. While running errands in Beverly Hills, Kate paired an ombré chambray 7 For All Mankind shirt over a white ribbed tank with dark blue skinnies, then tossed on a pair of brown suede ankle boots. Her eclectic accessories — multiple necklaces, tan leather bracelet, and tortoise sunglasses — are classic Kate, but we are particularly loving her jeweled metallic box purse from the actress's own JewelMint line. Get in on denim on denim by wearing a chambray shirt, dark skinnies, and suede booties, or try layering a denim jacket over a chambray dress as the temps heat up.

Charlize Theron Black Coat Dress

At a very fashionable lunch in LA, Charlize Theron wore an LBD that from afar doesn't look like anything special. But when we found out it's a coat dress by Boy by Band of Outsiders, that changed everything. When we zoomed in on the details, like the blazer-like lapel and pockets, the dress started to come to life. And it inspired us to go on a hunt for coats that are cute enough to be worn as a dress. That doesn't necessarily mean that you must wear the coat as a dress with nothing underneath. Rather, we found standout coats that you can keep on all night, buttoned or unbuttoned. Step inside to shop Charlize's exact coat dress and 13 other spotlight-worthy coats.
