It was the dress seen around the world: When Princess-to-be Kate Middleton wore a certain royal blue frock for the announcement of her nuptials to Prince William, the interest in the London-based label behind it, Issa, spread like wildfire.

Well, we're thrilled to tell you that Net-A-Porter.com, a Lucky favorite for cream-of-the-crop designer pieces, is launching a capsule collection with the label, set to launch at the end of April. The six lacey, jewel-tone numbers were inspired by the landscapes and colors of India, once part of the British empire. Issa designer Daniella Helayel says, "I keep the busy, cosmopolitan Issa woman in my mind when designing easy-to-wear, effortless dresses; she is always on the move." Indeed she is, whether prepping for a royal wedding or not.

Lucky magazine held a shopping event in LA last night attended by some of Hollywood's most stylish celebs like Whitney Port, Cat Deeley, Rashida Jones, Mandy Moore, and beautiful mom-to-be Selma Blair, donning a pale peach Topshop dress. It was a casual red-carpet soiree, but that didn't deter them from throwing together some casually cunning ensembles. Check out the slideshow to see all of the hotness.

Selma Blair

The weekend sale features clothing and accessories handpicked by Lucky editors, at prices well below retail, and a handful of VIPs were invited to get a preview of the wares on the stylish evening.

Mandy, who has been lying low since her successful Oscars appearance, was on hand to snag a few deals, and her fellow actresses Rashida Jones and Rachael Leigh Cook were also among the ladies who came out to browse the racks.

The Look For Less: Leighton Meester

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

We love a young starlet who eschews princess-style gowns in favor of a more daring, fashion-forward approach on the red carpet, potential negative reviews be damned! Leighton Meester is clearly in this risk-taker camp, as evidenced by the ivory Grecian-style Bottega Veneta gown with the crazy shoulders she wore to the Emmys in 2009, or the outer-space-tastic Louis Vuitton look that sent the Twitterverse abuzz when she sported it to the Met Costume Institute Gala that same year.

Now, at first glance, this bright bouquet of a frock—which she donned for a movie premiere—looks relatively restrained and feminine in the most traditional of ways, but in typical fashion, she throws us a curveball with the slightly clashing neon orange heels that lend just the right amount of edge. We love someone who keeps us guessing, and can't wait to see what she'll serve up next. In the meantime, get her spring-worthy look for less here.

Levi's Warholian Presentation

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

Seriously, there's nothing (nothing, nothing, nothing) that I love more than a room full of people wearing Levi's. At last night's Levi's fall presentation it wasn't just the models—pretty much the entire crowd paid an homage to the brand. The models—and the clothing—served as their own art installations. There was even a dude in a bathtub!

As our deputy digital editor Steph Trong so eloquently tweeted, "There is something Warholian about these in-situ displays at the Levi's event." And I think she's right—Wooster St. did sort of feel like The Factory. Our favorite pieces: striped sweaters over plaid shirts (side note: plaid. Another trend we won't let die), floral Henleys, fitted army vests and of course SKINNY JEANS.

Sienna Miller provides a dose of casual-cool to get you out of your day-to-day style rut. While out and about in London, she paired a silky blouse with standout black contrast trim ($70) and skinny, acid wash denim, then finished with punchy accessories — a pair of bright yellow oxfords and turquoise earrings ($29). It's an unexpected combination, each piece bringing a unique element to a very eclectic-chic result. Just click the items above to shop a similar style.

Karen Elson, siren-haired model, musician, mother of two and wife of fellow musician Jack White was photographed at the Chanel dinner in honor of Blake Lively during Paris Fashion Week. We love how she pairs the structured classic Chanel boucle jacket with a free-flowing long dress that is so NOW. The patterns clash, the textures clash, and that's what makes it so, well, cool.

Don't Be Afraid of . . . Neon

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

We're thrilled to present our favorite Lucky story here on Fab!

With the exception of my neon green Blackberry case, I generally tend to steer clear of super bright hues. Instead, I gravitate toward a softer, muted palette—one that I find more flattering against my blond, pale-ish coloring, and one that isn't so, well, LOUD. However, this season's penchant for brights (along with Jil Sanders' awesomely blinding SS2011 collection), has me currently dreaming in Technicolor. And while I'm not sure that I'll ever be brave enough to sport a shocking orange t-length paper bag skirt, I've found a few ways to incorporate neon in a slightly less intimidating sort of way.

Pleasure Doing Business neon green 5 Bandage Skirt, $88, revolveclothing.com; Narrow Leather belt (various colors), $18, urbanoutfitters.com

Silk Safari Shorts, $88, madewell.com; Mara Hoffman neon bikini, $78/$74, madewell.com

Get the Look For Less: Alexa Chung

The fashion industry is nothing short of obsessed with former model and MTV star Alexa Chung, even going as far as to call her the new Kate Moss. I think it's her effortless style and the way she puts traditionally nerdy pieces, like buttoned-up oxford shirts, with sexy pieces, like short-shorts and high heels for a cute librarian look. And her hair! Whether it's the cut or the color—I can only imagine that hairstylists groan when yet another client pulls out a magazine tear of Ms. Chung. Get her look for much less here.

The Look: Striking patterns and brights in granny-chic suits and separates. Unexpected leather and fur details.

The Accessories: Leather gloves that were slouchy and, in some cases, fur-trimmed. Dramatic platform sandals and bright candy-like jewelry.

What We Loved: The clash of patterns in striking colors is genius. I can't wait to get my hands on the purple batik-print dress with the skinny leather belt.
