Celebrity Style: Lake Bell
Actress Lake Bell attended a party hosted by Eva Longoria looking understated but still radiant. She belted her paisley Shoshanna dress to show off her waist and gave the look a splash of color with a red clutch. I'm going to continue watching Lake .
Celebrity Style: Bar Refaeli
Leonardo DiCaprio's girlfriend, Bar Refaeli, chose a body-con Roberto Cavalli lace-trim dress for the Sports Illustrated 2008 swimsuit issue launch party. It's a fine choice considering the event and her fabulous figure. Her taupe version is sold out, but if you want the super-sexy dress, check out the black version ($1,730).

The Look For Less: ABS Charmeuse Red Dress
The floral trend has been blooming for some time now and this ABS by Allen Schwartz Charmeuse red dress, $300, is a fab favorite. It may look familiar, as it reminded us of Nicole Kidman's red Balenciaga Oscars gown - remember? Although compared to many frocks out there right now it's not that expensive, it is still pretty pricey for something you'll probably only wear once or twice.
