Noria Morales — Wed, 30 Mar 2011 10:41:09 PDT

Earth took center stage last night at the fashion show and auction Bid to Save the Earth, dedicated to raising money for eco-minded organizations. Diane Kruger came arm in arm with designer Jason Wu, Olivia Palermo went for a mix 'n' match outfit that included a Rachel Roy top, and Anna Wintour paired a Balenciaga dress with her trademark Manolos. The runway show included top looks from a number of designers, but the standouts were the eveningwear, including our favorite white dresses from Alexander McQueen.

Create Your Own Version of Emma Stone's Green Smoky Eye

Miriam Lacey — Thu, 10 Mar 2011 11:29:00 PST

Emma Stone went for a sultry effect at Paris Fashion Week with dramatic green smoky eyes. The look had plenty of impact but wasn't as heavy as a darker palette would have been. For a very similar set of shades, check out the Lancôme Color Design Palette ($48) or easy stick-on Japonesque Eye Majic ($5). If you'd like something a little more natural looking, try a smoky eye with more brown in it, like CoverGirl Smoky Shadow Blast in Citrus Flair ($8).
