Brian Atwood

Some may be wary of melding black and yellow for fear of looking like a bumblebee, but Nicky Hilton's New York Fashion Week look made a serious case for the dynamic color combo. Nicky worked a full Diane von Furstenberg ensemble — black leather shorts ($475), a printed tie-neck blouse, and a colorblock bag — with embellished ankle-strap Brian Atwood pumps ($1,473) while attending shows at Lincoln Center. The blond beauty accessorized her eye-catching ensemble with an emerald cocktail ring and glistening diamond studs. Score Nicky's exact edgy bottoms and elegant pumps to work with a printed blouse for a glamorous night out with the girls.

Kate Hudson was smashing in black and white, donning a contrasting-collar white blazer ($1,895) and tuxedo-stripe pants, both by Alexander McQueen, with embellished Brian Atwood pumps at the Glee season four launch party in LA. Although all the stars that attended looked gorgeous, we particularly love how Kate's crochet black tank injected the right amount of sexy to her androgynous suit. The blond beauty then finished her red-carpet style off with a few Pomellato gold link bracelets and two-tone clutch. Nail Kate's borrowed-from-the-boys look with a few easy styling tips, then shop her exact jacket to work with white tuxedo-stripe trousers and embellished black pumps for a glamorous night out.

Eva Longoria was camera ready in a contrast peter-pan collar top, black jacquard peplum shorts, and black patent Brian Atwood platforms ($585) when she showed up at The Grove in LA. We particularly love the feminine touches of her monochromatic look, and her retro cat-eye sunglasses. Style a contrast-collar top with black peplum shorts with Eva's exact pumps for a night out or take her ladylike look to the edge with this brocade Elizabeth and James top ($365) and these leather BB Dakota shorts ($110).

This Summer, celebrities like Ashley Greene, Eva Longoria, and Leslie Mann are all embracing a fresh new color combo: orange and nude. In particular, orange dresses in all shades with various styles of nude heels. Ashley's orange lace Yigal Azrouel dress lent major pizazz to her nude suede Barbara Bui pumps, Eva's Brian Atwood patent ankle-strap pumps got a jolt of bold via her orange Victoria Beckham sheath dress, while Leslie's orange Monique Lhuillier knee-length dress got sweet with her nude Givenchy pointy pumps. For your next formal event, or even in your everyday wear, consider this fabulous color match by shopping our handpicked orange dresses and nude heels below.

Earlier today she wore a chic light-colored outfit with her tan Brian Atwood sandals, and now Eva Longoria was spotted in the same shoes with a polar-opposite bright look. For her NYC appearance, Eva donned this beautiful Vanessa Bruno green wrap ruffle dress ($271, originally $679) — score size 38 for 60 percent off now! She finished off with her Brian Atwood sandals — here is the colorful version ($1,335) — black nail polish, and a high ponytail. Eva's green dress is perfect for Summer and would also look great with a pair of colorful heels. You can even throw on a blazer and pumps to transform it into office-chic wear. Get it now before it sells out.

Eva Longoria looked Summer chic while hosting a Lay's flavor contest in NYC. For the affair, she wore a silky white cowl top and matching silk pleated shorts, topped with a soft-pink blazer that blended in with her look seamlessly. Eva is always one to bust out in look-at-me-now footwear, so we're not surprised that she chose killer Brian Atwood tan multistrap cutout booties to elongate her legs. Here is the mult-colored version ($1,335). The actress kept her jewels to a minimum, only sporting a simple gold chain bracelet. Eva's ensemble is the chicest way to work light colors in warm weather, so to get her look, shop similar pieces below.

Over the weekend, Jessica Biel made an all-white appearance at the 2012 Comic-Con in San Diego to promote her latest flick, Total Recall. For the occasion, she tucked a Joe's Jeans white t-shirt into a white leather Thierry Mugler pencil skirt with ruffle detail, but it was her pink Brian Atwood pumps that really captivated. Jessica proves that neon pumps can indeed be chic when paired with the right ensemble. To re-create Jessica's look for the office or your next fancy daytime lunch, throw on a white t-shirt, a white pencil skirt — it need not be leather — with her Brian Atwood pumps or these less-expensive Steve Madden hot-pink patent pair ($90). Then finish off with Anita Ko bangles.
