This American actress sure knows how to strike a pose! With her exotic looks and Brazilian background, Camilla has risen to become quite noticed on the Red Carpet. At 23 she has got a fresh and classic look. Just like the 1950’s actress before her. It is fun to watch her style develop. She can go from ultra modern and contemporary. To very glam. Plus, her make-up and hair is always fresh and young looking. So taking inspiration from Camilla. We have a few looks that you can emulate.

Camilla looks the way everyone should look glamorous at the Met’s Costume institute gala. Her one-shoulder aqua Armani Privé dress is all the more interesting because of the tiered detail.

Actress Camilla Belle attends a reception to benefit UNICEF hosted by Gucci during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week.

Camilla has a great casual style, which is so easy to get! My choices for achieving the Camilla Belle look are to get the look for less.

Go for that casual look and to find a variety of stylish leggings at Forever 21.

Go for that contempoary style just like Camilla for less than $40.00.

And for gorgeous but affordable gowns visit House of Dereon to find that perfect fit.

If there were actual fashion police laying down the heavy gavel of the law, Rachel Bilson would be locked up for eternity, until she seduced the judge at her court hearing. The only reasonable explanation I can see for such a fashion is either, Rachel Bilson is pregnant, Rachel Bilson is trying to start a failed fashion trend or Rachel Bilson is letting her dog look best dressed, for once. Visit Hollywood Chaos to read the entire story..

For this season’s Golden Globes, celebrity stylist Robert Vetica created
two of the most glamorous looks on the red carpet for Salma Hayek and Kyra
Sedgwick!

Salma Hayek’s Sleek and Sexy Style

Products used for Salma Hayek’s look:
Moroccanoil Treatment for beautiful, extra shine and smoothness.

To create Salma Hayek’s sexy and slicked-back style, Vetica started with
wet hair. “I worked Moroccanoil(TM) Treatment through to detangle and smooth
out split ends and then dried the hair straight using Moroccanoil Hydrating
Styling Cream to give added shine and smoothness,” he explains.

Salma Hayek wore a Boucheron $250,000 diamond hair wrap which was specially
made for her, and the key was to keep the hair looking sleek.

How to get Salma’s look!

- Vetica pulled the hair back into two ponytails, the first one from ear to
crown to opposite ear and pulled it back low at the nape of the neck.

- He pulled the remaining hair into a second ponytail, directly on top of the
first, back-combing it to give extra lift and to add texture.

- Next, he braided each section, turned them under and attached them at the
nape of the neck. The double braid gave the effect of a unique textured
thickness that made the look fresh and new. Then, he wrapped the diamond
band around this double braid for a simple but chic effect.

Kyra Sedgwick’s Golden Globes Look!

You kind find the products used for Kyra’s look at Moroccanoil. That Moroccanoil Hydrating Styling Cream added shine, definition and eliminated frizz!

Kyra Sedgwick’s look was reminiscent of Rita Hayworth, but more delicate
and loosely curled. He then pulled it back to show off her face with
cascading hair when she turned. He wanted the hair down but still elegant, and
Hollywood and fresh.

How to get Kyra’s look!

- Kyra’s hair was blow-dried to a smooth finish with a touch of Moroccanoil
Treatment, directed away from the face using a strong spray gel to hold her
hair up and away from her forehead.

- The back of the hair was curled inward to create wave and volume. Vetica
used a heat styling spray to protect the hair and to help give a firm hold
to the swept back look.

- Vetica brushed Kyra’s hair back from the front, to keep it away from her
face. The final look framed her face and cascaded into waves when she
turned. Vetica finished the style by rubbing a small amount of Moroccanoil
Hydrating Styling Cream through his hands, smoothing the hair and adding
shine to finish and refine the look.

I couldn’t be more proud…one of my favorite curvacious actresses, none other than America-the-Beautiful, has been making some serious strides in the fashion world. Miss. Ferrera has been popping up on more and more “best dressed” lists recently, and it’s no surprise. Her style is the perfect blend of youthful elegance and class that you hardly see anymore.

Ok, so her look is neither groundbreaking nor is it avant-garde, but I love it just the same. America looks glossy, but not overprocessed and like the girl next door that you really want to go shopping with. The girl knows how to dress her shape without looking dowdy or obscene, and in a world of uber-thin actresses, it’s nice to see someone that looks like me out there working it.

Love what you see to? Duplicating this look is easy, so here are some simple steps on how to dress like America Ferrera:

1) Waist not, want not:

Show off an hourglass figure like America’s with a cinched in waist. This look is easy to achieve with a billowy top, skinny jeans and a skinny belt. Paired with an oversized bag and killer heels, you can easily create a look that is very now.

2) It’s a wrap:

Wrap dresses and tops are ideal for almost any body type, and look especially flattering if you are top or bottom heavy. Solid colored wrap dresses are your best bet to create a slimming effect.

3) No accessories please:

When you are as naturally beautiful as America, you don’t need a whole lot of bling to take away the attention from your glossy hair and great hieels. Go for minimal jewelry and streamlined belts, bags and shoes to create a timeless and ladylike look.

Score some America style for yourself with this printed wrap dress from Yu Clothing; the floaty sleeves cover up arms while the wrap style hugs your curves just right:

She is a woman who has gained fame and fortune by starring in action films. Like leading male action hero Jackie Chan, Yeoh has been celebrated for performing her own death-defying stunts and handling her own fight scenes. Moreover, she has cultivated this reputation without compromising her femininity. Yeoh’s formidable beauty, poise and winning personality are what brought her to top of her league. This ex-bond girl. (Yes she starred opposite Pierce Brosnan). Recently celebrated in the quake of her movie – The Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor. Michelle shone in her decadent and beautiful Asian inspired costumes for this cool flick. As well as on the red carpet for the release of the movie.
