Irina Shayk strolled through Nice airport wearing neutral basics, white high-top Isabel Marant sneakers, and a white leather jacket, creating an outfit that would look just as cute outside the terminals. The model — who we spoke with about bikinis and lingerie not too long ago — accessorized her travel style with an onyx pendant necklace, classic aviators, and a leather weekender bag. Although Irina isn't the first to be spotted in killer kicks — celebs are totally obsessed with sneakers right now — we welcome her fresh and breezy take. Mimic this downtown-cool ensemble with a white tee, skinny jeans, funky kicks — here is her Isabel Marant pair on eBay — and a leather topper for your next errand run.

A First Look at Versace's Fall/Winter 2012 Campaign: Donatella Would Wear Every Look

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips.

Lucky magazine is one of our favorite sources for great shopping tips. We're thrilled to share this fabulous story from our friends at Lucky!


Summer officially arrives in less than a week but the Versace team is already thinking about next season. The brand just released its Fall/Winter 2012 campaign and although the clothes are technically for cooler weather, we wouldn't mind wearing them now. The über sexy Italian label isn't really big on covering up, so most of the pieces would probably work for a breezy May or June night. But since nothing hits stores for at least two or three months, we're happy to obsess over the pictures first.

The black and white images feature model Elza Luijendijk with a severe blonde bob, posing on chain-covered cement bricks with big moody photographs of the ocean in the background. The styling was clearly influenced by head designer Donatella; we could see her wearing every single look on the red carpet—especially that black mini dress with the knee-high boots.

Naomi Watts Keeps Cool at the Airport in Mint Jeans and a Fedora

Naomi Watts was spotted at the Nice airport in the South of France in mint skinny jeans and a summery fedora.

Naomi Watts was spotted at the Nice airport in the South of France in mint skinny jeans and a summery fedora. Her accompanying accessories — gray fringe scarf, brown ankle booties, and Ray-Ban aviators — also played into her supercool travel style. We love that with some quick switches, Naomi's outfit can easily go from the airport to the beach. Just switch up the booties for sandals, throw on a bikini underneath, ditch the black bag for something lighter, and use the gray scarf as a sarong instead of a neck accessory. To get Naomi's cool airport look, especially her mint-colored jeans, shop similar pieces below.

Tinsley Mortimer's Style: The Socialite Chats Her New Designer Obsession and How to Nail Her Girlie Look

Socialite Tinsley Mortimer has been on a nationwide book tour promoting her novel Southern Charm about a Charleston girl who moves to NYC.

Socialite Tinsley Mortimer has been on a nationwide book tour promoting her novel Southern Charm about a Charleston girl who moves to NYC. Last night's stop was the Trina Turk boutique in LA, where we caught up with Tinsley and chatted all about personal style, favorite designers, and how to get her girlie Southern look. Hear what she had to say, then shop the widget below to nail Tinsley's flirty look.

CelebStyle: How would you describe your personal style?
Tinsley Mortimer: I'm a girlie girl. I love to wear very girlie, overly feminine stuff. I love to wear dresses. I love anything that has ruffles and bows. And I love to wear color. Southern girls love color. When I moved to New York, everyone was not much makeup and very black; it looked cool, but I just can't pull that off. I am better with curled hair and makeup and color and dresses. It's just more fun.

CS: Who are your favorite designers?
TM: For evening I love Oscar de la Renta and Carolina Herrera. There's this new designer I keep wearing to events, his name is Rafael Cennamo. It's gorgeous dresses. Marchesa I love, Versace, Valentino. I also love Alice + Olivia, Trina Turk, Tibi, Milly and all those, too.
