At The X Factor's season two finale in LA last night, Khloé Kardashian matched this pleated leather Alexander McQueen skirt ($581, originally $1,660) with this sequin Carolina Herrera blouse ($2,290). Her menswear-inspired style was right on trend and we love the edgy touch of her neon Christian Louboutin pumps ($1,195). Shop Khloé's exact pieces or mimic her look on a budget with this bow-tie ASOS blouse ($56) and this faux leather Sparkle & Fade mini ($59) for an upcoming holiday soiree.
Lauren Conrad has been on a nationwide book tour promoting her latest book, Lauren Conrad Beauty, and for her LA stop last night, she chose a Johanna Johnson black leather dress. With a statement dress like that one, all you need are a Kate Spade New York bow belt ($78) and these killer Christian Louboutin spike platform pumps ($1,595). We love that Lauren's little black dress is rough in fabric but ladylike in silhouette. Get in on the look via this similar Shoshanna black leather dress ($770) or this less-expensive Free People vegan leather dress ($198). Don't forget the bow belt for extra charm and the studded pumps for mega edge.
Ashley Madekwe partied in major style in a black peplum top and high-waisted skinny jeans last night at an Elle event at LA's Soho House, but it was her knockout accessories that really turned up the heat. She worked her peplum and denim with spiked Christian Louboutin pumps, a British flag-printed Alexander McQueen clutch ($1,545), spiked-drop Topshop earrings ($28), and red lipstick. For your next fabulous party, pair a black peplum top with high-waisted skinny denim, spiked black pumps, and a funky box clutch to re-create Ashley's effortless glam.
Kate Beckinsale nailed the colorblocking trend by tucking a coral tank into a blue pencil skirt, both by Diane von Furstenberg, then adding a little edge via spiked Christian Louboutin pumps while promoting her new movie Total Recall in Ireland. The brunette beauty accessorized her brights with celebrity-approved white sunglasses, Melinda Maria drop pyramid earrings ($80) — available for pre-order — and a high ponytail. Re-create Kate's bright colorblock ensemble with a coral tank, blue pencil skirt, and embellished pumps for a professional, yet playful look.
