Get Her Look - Ashlee Simpson's Office-Friendly Animal Print

There are some parties where your favorite "freakum dress" is a huge no-no ... like the office party.


While a low neckline and a high hemline are inappropriate anytime your boss is around, you can have some fun with your office party look.


Take inspiration from Ashlee Simpson's head-to-toe Mara Hoffman ensemble. The animal print is wild, but the style of the dress is conservative. Her arms have some coverage, and the hem hits mid-thigh. Ashlee popped the yellowish-brown animal print with red strappy sandals and pendant necklace.


You'll turn your coworkers' heads in a good way with this festive yet office-friendly look. So the next time you're attending an office party or happy hour with coworkers, leave your LBD in the closet ... this is your look! Get the details below.


A | Wear Animal Print Slinky Dress, $36.20


Trina Turk Mosaic Pendant Necklace, $240


Amrita Singh Jewelry Elina Bangle Set, $85


Pour La Victoire Pierson Round Long Crossbody Bag, $142.50

Celeb Poll - Cover Girls!

September is a big month for fashion. It's the start of fashion weeks and new collections are out that will define the trends for the year to come.


So it's a no-brainer that landing a cover of one of fashion's most read magazines is a big deal.


We've got some of Tinsel Town's hottest leading ladies on the covers of some of the hottest fashion magazines out there and of course we have to ask - Which star looks the fiercest on her cover?



Gwyneth Paltrow taps into her wild side on the cover of Elle September 2011 in a black micro-mini and embellished leather top. We love the drama of her over-sized sleeves!


Beyonce channels Sasha Fierce on the cover of Harper's Bazaar UK in a slick red dress and a sexy smoky eye. Her matching 'femme fatale' nails are the perfect touch.


Emma Stone is the teen queen with her glowing cover for Teen Vogue. We love the bright coat for fall and her bare-faced beauty look.


Anne Hathaway graces the cover of Marie Claire in a star-studded dress and her famous wide smile. We like how she lets the dress make the statement by pairing it with no accessories and a clean, fresh makeup look.

Video Style Steal - Nicki Minaj 'Super Bass'

She's the curvy musical powerhouse that burst onto the scene not too long ago and has only been gaining in popularity and record sales.


It's Nicki Minaj and she's been touted as the next Lady Gaga, but in fact, her style and sound her uniquely her own. Neons and funky patterns, outrageous hair styles and colors, skin tight silhouettes that hug her natural assets and a lyrical style that's all her own, we can't help but be intrigued with Miss Minaj.


In her new single, 'Super Bass', she shows her signature wild and sexy style in a more toned-down, summer ready way and we love it. Watch the video for 'Super Bass' then click on the slideshow to see how to get Nicki Minaj's look for yourself!

Recession Chic - Classic 'Audrey Hepburn' Style for $50 or Less!

Trends come, trends go. And as fun as trends can be to follow, there's something to be said for a classic style that is timeless and always chic.


There are a few style icons out there that year after year, generation after generation, we find ourselves still emulating their style with little or no change.


One of our favorite such icons? The elegant and beautiful Audrey Hepburn. With her lady-like ensembles and demurely stylish charms, hers is a look that transcends time. From her stove-pipe pants, cashmere turtlenecks, flared dresses and ballet flats, every aspect of Audrey Hepburn's style is one that we'd like to adopt.

Get Her Look - Mila Kunis' Fun & Flirty Date Look

We instantly fell in love with the look Mila Kunis wore while promoting her film "Friends with Benefits" on a recent episode of 'Regis & Kelly.'


Her printed L'Agence sundress, robin's egg blue Brian Atwood platform sandals, and Irene Neuwirth jewelry are exactly what we look for in a date outfit - fun, flirty, and easy!


You'll be ready for a date at a moment's notice by taking a cue from Mila. But this ensemble can also pull double-duty at work by adding a basic blazer. Get the details on our Mila Kunis-inspired look below.

Get The Winning Look From Our 'Mob Wives vs. Basketball Wives' Poll!

It's the battle of the wives! We pitted the divas from Mob Wives and Basketball Wives against each other and asked you who you thought was the best dressed!


Coming in first place with over half the votes is the Shaunie O'Neal, the ex-wife of Shaq and the brain behind Basketball Wives.


We love the smoky grey metallic silk of her kimono style dress and the interesting design of her matching heels. We also like how she kept it sleek with accessories in the same color family.

Celeb Poll - The Girls of GLEE

Glee is taking it to the silver screen! With a new movie, 'Glee - The 3D Concert Movie', coming out soon, we have to admit that the Broadway nerds in us can't wait!


And while Glee seems to be full of high-school outcasts and underdogs, it is in fact chock full of gorgeous and talented individuals. We may be used to seeing them in their Glee get-ups, be it cheerleader uniforms, ankle socks or blue hair dye, but these ladies sure know about style!


We've caught the girls of Glee doing things besides singing and dancing and we're asking you to vote on which star you think has the best casual, off-screen style!


Naya Rivera (Santana) keeps it simple but trendy in cherry red skinny jeans and a crisp white tee. Studded platform pumps add just a touch of star power.


Jenna Ushkowitz (Tina) looks sleek and sexy in a silk tank dress with exposed zipper. A gold headband makes the outfit her own.


Heather Morris (Britney) may just be grabbing coffee, but she still looks casually stylish in a striped sweater and menswear-inspired oxfords. Red rimmed sunglasses and a crossbody bag gives her ensemble a hipster factor.


Dianna Agron (Quinn) borrows from her character with this sweet and conservative flare dress. Matching blue flats compliment the retro-style while a wide belt highlighting her waist gives the dress a more modern vibe.


Which Glee star is the best dressed? Let us know by voting below!

Video Style Steal - Amy Winehouse 'Back to Black'

Despite her troubles with drug and alcohol addiction, it was still a shock when we heard of the tragic death of Amy Winehouse.


A talented individual with a soulful voice full of emotion, Amy Winehouse was a musical genius that worked in many genres with other artists, but was best known for her jazzy, bluesy compositions that had an old school feel and let her smoky voice shine.


To commemorate Amy Winehouse and the music that she gave to the world, we're presenting her 'Back to Black' video. We love the black and white cinematography and classic style.

Get The Winning Look From Our 'LiLo Goes To Court' Poll!

Lindsay Lohan is no stranger to the legal system and most of her photo-ops of late seem to revolve around the courthouse.


But one thing you can't deny is that this starlet has some serious style. Each courtroom appearance meant a different lady-like ensemble that was appropriate but still had the signature twist of LiLo sex appeal.

We had asked you which Lindsay Lohan courthouse outfit was your favorite and while the white number by Kimberly Ovitz sold out in stores when she donned it for a court date, it only made second place here!


Instead, you all chose the high-waisted pleated skirt and tucked in top plus light trench combo. We love that the over-sized shades and sky-high heels make the look so Hollywood.
