Kate Hudson showed off her slick styling skills while visiting the Late Show With David Letterman yesterday, donning not one, but two hot-pink looks. The gorgeous actress radiated as she entered the studios wearing a slightly more casual Michael Kors bright pink knit top, black leather pencil skirt, and white Christian Louboutin pumps. And on her way out, Kate made a quick change into a more evening-appropriate ensemble in a black Barbara Bui long-sleeved, drop-waist dress paired with suede pink pumps. Even if you're not a typical "hot pink" kind of girl, Kate proved that just a pop goes a long way. Read below for more easy styling tips, then shop similar pieces below.

• Since hot pink is enough of a statement on its own, make sure to accessorize with minimal jewels and simple shoes, like stud earrings and pointy-toe pumps or flats.
• Balance out the girlie hot-pink hue with a little leather; we love how Kate incorporated the subversive texture into both of her looks.
• Since you want your hot-pink accents to stand out, stay away from complicated cuts and opt for cleaner silhouettes and lines, like simple pencil skirts or classic-cut blouses.

Malin Akerman attended the Miss Golden Globe party in LA last night looking svelte as ever in a black cap-sleeve Barbara Bui blazer, which she wore as a plunging top, black leather pants, and black suede Aldo pumps. While we love her all-black getup, it was her orange and white geometric clutch, also by Bui, that really kept our attention. Malin's latest red-carpet look would be fabulous at an upcoming party, so re-create it by wearing all black, then topping it with a funky printed clutch, like this one we love from Tila March ($159, originally $270).

Kristen Stewart hasn't missed a stylish step while promoting the last installment of the Twilight Saga, and her latest look was right on point. The actress got leggy in black leather-panel Rebecca Minkoff shorts, a gray Alternative Apparel top, and embellished ankle-strap Barbara Bui sandals while on a variety show in Madrid. Kristen has been hitting fashion high notes in designer duds from LA to London, but we love how this effortless ensemble stayed true to Kristen's laid-back persona. Re-create this cool-girl style with a charcoal long-sleeved top, black leather-panel shorts, and ankle-strap sandals, or pair her exact bottoms in a bold python print ($428) with a chunky black sweater and matching ankle booties for a flawless Fall look.

Among the slew of celebrities that have visited the pumpkin patch this month was Jessica Alba. Over the weekend, the actress took her two daughters to pick out pumpkins and looked sporty cool while doing it. She started with a pair of purple skinny jeans and high-top python Barbara Bui sneakers, then finished off with a simple white tee, a black leather crossbody fringe bag, and wayfarer-style sunglasses. A few delicate gold jewels completed Jessica's weekend style. To re-create her latest look for your pumpkin patch run, shop similar pieces below. Then for a more adult nighttime outing, just swap the sneakers for booties or pumps.

Hollywood's hottest got glam at the 2012 Emmy Awards in LA last night, and in a sea of stunning ensembles, there was one hue that shined brighter than the rest. Citrus dresses lit up the red carpet — from strapless structured gowns to full skirt numbers, celebrities couldn't get enough of the bold color. Julie Bowen worked a strapless fishtail Lanvin gown with a sparkling Swarovski clutch, Claire Danes styled her effortless draped Lanvin dress with gold Barbara Bui sandals, while Julianne Moore went all out in a long-sleeve full skirt Christian Dior number and Fred Leighton jewels. This luminous hue is fitting any time of year and in any silhouette, so get inspired by these stylish stars and shop our favorite citrus dresses to work at your next big event.

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.

Zoe Saldana has a keen fashion sense, and she didn't disappoint in a rock-chic look — tuxedo blazer, cinched tuxedo pants, and peep-toe booties — at Coldplay's concert in LA. The actress fused multiple trends like a pro. She balanced her menswear-inspired separates with a ladylike silk blouse and chain-strap Barbara Bui bag, then tossed on a pair of black frames for a touch of nerdy cool. Take a cue from Zoe and pair your black-tie basics with a neutral top and killer shoes for a night out or work a crisp white button-down with tuxedo-striped pants and pointed pumps for a polished and professional look you can take to the office.
