America Ferrera Works a Peplum Top in a Professional-Chic Way

Peplum is a huge Hollywood trend right now, and you can wear it many ways: casually glam like Ashley Madekwe did in LA, or professionally chic like actress America Ferrera's style in NYC.

by Melody Nazarian

Peplum is a huge Hollywood trend right now, and you can wear it many ways: casually glam like Ashley Madekwe did in LA, or professionally chic like actress America Ferrera's style in NYC. She paired a purple Elie Tahari peplum top — here are the black and aqua versions ($248) — with a black pencil skirt and purple suede Ash pumps. A simple gold bracelet and stud earrings completed her feminine and sleek look. Either invest in America's exact top in black or aqua, or get this similar ASOS peplum top ($38) to match with your pencil skirts for work.

Versace Spring 2013

Donatella Versace is known for her sexy, body-con styles, and her Spring '13 showing was just that, but perhaps with a more subtle touch than what we're used to seeing from the designer.

by Chi Diem Chau

Donatella Versace is known for her sexy, body-con styles, and her Spring '13 showing was just that, but perhaps with a more subtle touch than what we're used to seeing from the designer. The show opened with easy lace-appliqued minidresses paired with low-slung studded belts. The same technique was seen on a range of crop tops and hot shorts worn with sleek blazers and leather jackets. The most wearable, everyday pieces came from an assortment of skinny striped, dip-dyed, and lace-adorned pants paired with billowy crushed silk tops, emoting a decidedly '70s bohemian vibe. Catering to the red carpet, a brigade of color — orange, teal, pink — entered the runway, highlighting seductive high-slit gowns (Jennifer Lopez, anyone?) and short embellished minidresses made for leg-baring starlets like Lea Michele and Selena Gomez.

Trends: '70s, billowy sleeves, leather, lace.
Colors: Black gold, orange, teal, blue, pink.
Key Piece: We loved the lace-embellished pants.
Accessories: Sandal boots, strappy metallic sandals, statement sunglasses, studded belts, exotic crossbody bags, leather clutches.
Who Should Wear It: We can picture the sexy high-slit gowns on red-carpet stunners like Jennifer Lopez and Lea Michele, along with front-row attendees Milla Jovovich and Jessica Stam.

See Nicole Richie's Impressive Style Evolution

It's hard to imagine a time when Nicole Richie wasn't the poster child for modern boho-chic, but before she became one of Hollywood's coolest moms, a designer, and something of a style icon, Nicole had a thing for bold colors and body-con silhouettes.

It's hard to imagine a time when Nicole Richie wasn't the poster child for modern boho-chic, but before she became one of Hollywood's coolest moms, a designer, and something of a style icon, Nicole had a thing for bold colors and body-con silhouettes. Since today happens to be Ms. Richie's birthday, we're celebrating with a look back at her fashionable transformation. Nicole's style has seriously evolved from the hot yellows and pinks that once dominated her wardrobe to a sleeker, vintage-inspired style that we can safely say is a vast improvement.

Click through to witness Nicole's fashion metamorphosis for yourself — and wish the boho beauty a very happy birthday!

Jessica Alba Totes a New Black and White Bag With Black Layers

Jessica Alba looked chic in her black-on-black layers in Santa Monica, but what really caught our eye was her new black and white colorblock bag.

Jessica Alba looked chic in her black-on-black layers in Santa Monica, but what really caught our eye was her new black and white colorblock bag. Jessica's oversize two-tone leather Chloé tote ($1,995) really popped against her black high-low dress, black leggings, and black Surface to Air caged sandals. The actress finished off her low-key look with celeb-approved Westward Leaning shades ($275), a simple pendant necklace, and a few bracelets. Re-create this monochromatic outfit with a few closet staples — black high-low dress, black leggings, and caged sandals — then reach for a black and white colorblock tote to really nail her downtown-cool style.
