Celeb Style: Jessica Stroup

Jessica is on a roll.

Jessica is on a roll. First she rocked our world in her lace LBD, and now she's looking beauteous in her cobalt Jenni Kayne dress at the Melrose Place premiere party. The actress continued the bold streak with dazzling accessories — a jeweled belt, black clutch, platform sandals, and a cocktail ring. Blue is definitely one of Jessica's colors — it makes her baby blues pop.

Celebrity Style: Maria Sharapova

I don't know where Maria Sharapova went last night, but it must have been a helluva swanky party.

I don't know where Maria Sharapova went last night, but it must have been a helluva swanky party. The tennis star has once again impressed with her spot-on fashion sense. The cobalt cutout Thakoon dress gives her look a major jolt, while the chunky silver Dries van Noten necklace adds more pizazz. What's particularly cool here is that she threw her black oversized blazer over her shoulders borrowed-from-the-boys style. But what's even cooler is that she designed her own shoes, complete with Nike air cushioning, in a collaboration with Cole Haan. Now that's style.

Hilary Duff left her chunky earrings and designer logo bags at home for an uncomplicated, yet gorgeous, Summer look.

Hilary Duff left her chunky earrings and designer logo bags at home for an uncomplicated, yet gorgeous, Summer look. The actress walked the red carpet for the latest Cartier Love Bracelet Launch party in a Phillip Lim cobalt strapless dress and black-patent gladiator heels. She kept her ears simple with diamond stud earrings and adorned her neck with a gold scalloped necklace — Cartier, perhaps? Can I hear a round of applause for this more pared down Hilary?!

Immaterial: Mint Jodi Arnold Side Button Dress

You could always forego the trip to Spain, buy this frock, and hop a jet to Mexico City.

You could always forego the trip to Spain, buy this frock, and hop a jet to Mexico City. The Mint Jodi Arnold Side Button Dress has us thinking of immediate departures. A strong color for summer, particularly cobalt, will surely make the season (as limited as it is) seem more fashionable. We saw this color in the Richard Chai and Helmut Lang shows for spring, and, many a Fall 07 collection sampled the hue. Stop blow drying your hair, use olive oil as moisturizer, sweep the most basic rouge across your cheeks (while wearing this dress, of course) and you've got sexy down pat. Screw Bridal Week, go find yourself a single caballero.

Trend Alert: Silky Blues

I have a closet confession: I veer towards solids.

I have a closet confession: I veer towards solids. Prints are tricky for me — I tend to tire of a print after a couple years. Is that normal?

I have always liked polka dots, and stripes, but when it comes to geometric patterns or florals they just don't keep me inspired. Therein lies the beauty of silky blues. Though these pieces are solid, they have charisma. The silky fabrics make them appear fluid and sexy. We experienced a wave of moody blues at the Grammys this year — but Demi outshines them all in this bias cut silky blue Zac Posen.

Nikki chose to make her SAG red carpet debut in the color of the season: cobalt blue. The color looks Fab with her pale skin and dark hair, and the gown itself is definitely curvalicious. Yay or nay?
