Maxi Dress
Celebrity Style: Whitney Port
Whitney stole the spotlight at a charity gala in New York last night. Her white-draped gown is a fresh take on holiday dressing; and the black sash is added drama. Her oversized green snakeskin clutch provided a vintage touch, while on the other hand a red watch kept her in check — do you think she was purposely mixing the traditional Christmas colors of red and green?
Trend Alert: Dip Dyed Maxis
The maxi has proven to be a favorite Summer dress, especially amongst the starlets. But there are so many fabulous styles to choose from. Dip dyed maxis are both comfortable and unique.
Celebrity Style: Kate Hudson
Kate Hudson introduced her new man to her mom Goldie during a casual afternoon lunch in Santa Monica. The actress also showed off her love of flowy dresses by wearing a teal halter maxi by T-Bags and accessorizing with Giuseppe Zanotti buckle sandals and an ostrich bag. Seeing as Santa Monica is an urban beach community, this comfy-cum-cute ensemble is quite appropriate.

Designer Spotlight: Nui
Nui designs was conceived from the designer's notion that, "Clothes should not be torturing. You should feel pretty now and work on your body later." Precursor to the popular maxi-dress, Nui's designs takes on a relaxed, yet body flattering fit that complements a woman's figure; no matter what size you are.
Who Wore It Better? Jenni Kayne Silk Tie Gown
A case of starlet versus stylist. Rachel Zoe donned this Jenni Kayne dress back in October for the designer's LA store opening, while Kristen chose it for the premiere of Forgetting Sarah Marshall; she wore it a good while later, I might say. It seems the prints are inversed, with Rachel's showing more white and Kristen's more of that stunning electric blue.
Celebrity Style: Kristen Bell
At long last — after all of the notice-me advertising — Forgetting Sarah Marshall is finally here. Kristen Bell went all out in an appropriately tropical look for the Hawaii—set movie, choosing a Jenni Kayne printed maxi dress in an extra fresh cobalt blue and white palette. What really makes this special is the abundance of chunky gold accessories.
Who Wore it Better? Diane von Furstenberg Printed Maxi Dress
Maybe maxi dresses really will catch on big time. They do capture that bohemian Summer vibe oh so well. Miss Molly Sims debuted the bold dress at Diane von Furstenberg's dinner I attended back in February, and Garcelle Beauvais Nilon selected it for a Saks Fifth Avenue event yesterday.
The Look For Less: Gwen Stefani's Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent Maxi
An adorably pregnant Gwen Stefani recently played in the park with Gavin and Kingston. While Pop was examining her baby bump, I was more focused on what was covering that growing belly: Twelfth St. by Cynthia Vincent's ruffle maxi dress ($372).
Look of the Day: Maxin' It Out
Rabbit88 is maxin it out in a hippie-inspired summer frock. The rich colors and subtle tiers in the dress are lovely and the relaxed suede tote perfectly complements her look.
Here's what she has on:
- Dress: Victoria's Secret
- Sandals: Henry Ferrara
- Tote: Lucky Brand
