Burberry

Gwyneth Paltrow was spotted walking the streets of London wearing a moody gray ensemble that matched the gloomy weather. The actress wore a gray Burberry blazer over a white tee, then topped it with a lighter gray fringe scarf. On bottom she sported these Rag & Bone faded skinny jeans ($200) and gray suede ankle Rag & Bone boots ($495). A silver watch and bracelet added just the right amount of shine to her cold-weather look. Re-create Gwyneth's latest ensemble for your next chilly stroll by pairing your skinny jeans with a gray blazer, gray booties, and a matching gray scarf.

We have to admit, we are envious of the chic ensembles the cast of Gossip Girl must wear for work, including Blake Lively's latest look of geometric-print Rag & Bone jeans ($258), an oversize eggplant Forte cardigan ($412), and suede asphalt Rupert Sanderson boots ($1,295). The blond beauty mixed color and texture to perfection, but it was her unexpected blue leopard cami, two-tone suede Burberry bag, and jeweled statement necklace that took her onscreen style to new heights. Work Blake's exact cardigan, denim, and below-the-knee boots with a moody leopard tank to re-create your favorite Upper East Sider's street style.

While doing volunteer work in NYC, Emma Stone wore an ensemble that perfected the fine line between dressy and casual. She started out with this adorable Burberry dog-print t-shirt ($337) and high-rise Rag & Bone jeans ($176), then added on a navy peplum Preen Line jacket, which took the look to fancier heights. Cat-eye sunglasses and cap-toe Chanel flats added further polish to her outfit. Next time you need to dress up your jeans and flats, throw on a peplum jacket just like Emma did. You can even pair your peplum jacket with a black sheath dress for the office, then leather shorts for weekend fun.
