Video Style Steal: Beyonce And Lady GaGa Team Up For "Video Phone"

Beyonce has always been known for topping herself when it comes to putting on a good show and looking fab while doing so, but for her latest video "Video Phone," B's got a secret weapon aside from all those Nerf gun props -- Lady GaGa. The result? Lots of gyrating, futuristic flair, and of course, more costume changes than you can accurately keep track of. And while a collabo featuring two of today's boldest pop divas is undoubtedly a recipe for fierceness, it's also bound to feature lots of unattainable designer duds... and a lack of suitable pants. If you're ready to tackle suspicious stares and a whole slew of credit card bills, check out Jean Paul Gaultier's latest collections for Beyonce's exact video outfits (good luck!), but if you're looking for an actual wearable interpretation of her killer stud boots and trench-inspired outfit, look no further than the slideshow!

Video Style Steal: Carrie Underwood's Boots Walk All Over This "Cowboy Casanova"

Carrie Underwood has come a long way since her "small-town girl with the big voice" image on American Idol. Lucky for that image of hers, she's ditched the demure deer-in-headlights look and swapped it for an assertive attitude to match her sultry voice. I guess a load of confidence is easy to come by when you have a series of hit singles and Chace Crawford as your former arm-candy! Speaking of exes, in her latest video for "Cowboy Casanova," Carrie hits the saloon looking retro-fabulous to warn girls about a bad boy's particularly womanizing ways... and shows him a thing or two! Don't forget -- Halloween is officially in the dust, so don't go full-on saloon girl when you try this look. Instead, stick to inspired pieces like a bustier dress, cute leather booties, and feather accents that only hint at Carrie's costume-y video. Watch the video, and then check out the slideshow to see how you can go western without looking like you stepped out of a time machine.

Video Style Steal: Alicia Keys Is Sad But Sultry In "Doesn't Mean Anything"

Alicia Keys has quite a lot of success under her belt for a woman at 28 (but then again, what else would you expect from a girl who was accepted into Columbia when she was 16?), with her shelf full of Grammy awards and four chart-topping studio albums. Aside from her musical growth (and ascending movie career), we've also seen quite a progression in her hairdo -- from neat braids to unruly curls and now sleek and straight in her latest video, "Doesn't Mean Anything." But her hair isn't the only thing that's polished and chic. In a sparkly tunic, Alicia is classy as usual, and while she may be mournful and lonely in the video, I know I'd be much more cheerful if I had a hot pair of stiletto boots like hers! Check the slideshow to see some Alicia-inspired looks from her latest hit vid.

Video Style Steal: Black Eyed Peas Take Fashionistas To Another World In "Meet Me Halfway"

The recent Black Eyed Peas singles are overplayed enough for you to notice that their latest album is much more "futuristic"-inspired than their past party anthem compilations. And if you're just about fed up with hearing the repetitive beats of "I Gotta Feeling" and the laser gun sound effects of "Boom Boom Pow," you might be relieved that the third single, "Meet Me Halfway," is considerably easier on the eardrums. But don't worry -- just because the relatively low-key tune isn't exactly a club banger doesn't mean it lacks room for drama. The video features the four members isolated in separate parts of the solar system, each looking for a way to reunite. For example, Fergie seems to be stranded in a long-lost dimension that resembles the set for "A Midsummer Night's Dream," decked out in a shimmery fairy princess gown. While the video wardrobe is pretty fantastical, you can still take a cue from their futuristic concepts to form your own modern explorer and fairy-inspired ensembles, thanks to the funky stylings of Fergie and Will.I.Am. Watch the video to get some intergalactic insight, then check the slideshow for some wearable wardrobe pieces!

Video Style Steal: Jordin Sparks' "S.O.S." Is No Fashion Emergency!

One thing that always seems to instill a little hope within me is seeing American Idol alumni actually making something of their temporary fame. It makes me think, "wow, maybe reality TV really does serve a purpose!" And what's not to like about a down-to-earth gal from Arizona with a powerhouse voice making awesome music and managing to stay classy while doing it ('cause apparently that's rare)? Jordin Sparks may only be 19, but she's already making waves with her second studio album "Battlefield" and even has a few pre-AI modeling credits under her belt. But just because the girl has gospel roots and is most known for ballads like "Tattoo" and "No Air" with Chris Brown, it doesn't mean she can't go out and have a little fun. In her latest video, "S.O.S. (Let The Music Play)," Jordin shows off her sexy side... and exposes a backstabbing boyfriend while she's at it! I recommend leaving the chain acrylic nails out of your outfit (how the heck does she text with those things on?), but you can look dance floor-ready with a shimmering sequin dress and embellished black heels like Jordin's.

Video Style Steal: Miley Cyrus Gives "Party In The U.S.A." A Cowgirl Kick

Hannah or Miley? Blonde or brunette? Love her or hate her? Such questions often come to mind when the name Miley Cyrus is mentioned... and nowadays, especially with her new album on the rise, that's quite often. And whether or not you enjoy the teen's campy Disney roles, her musical stylings, or her knack for photo scandals, you gotta admit, "Party In The U.S.A." is pretty damn catchy. While the video's swing set settings and Miley's tiny cut-off shorts and leather vest are a little unseasonably summery, I can't help but get in the concert party mood whenever I watch it... and let's face it -- it's never the wrong season for a dusty parking lot dance party! Click "See Video" to watch "Party In The U.S.A." for yourself, then take a look at the slideshow to see how you can cop Miley's cowgirl video ensemble. Photo Credit: MTV.com

Steal Her Style: Blake Lively's Summery Hamptons Look

Blake Lively is one of the most stylish starlets in Tinseltown -- and she doesn't work with a personal stylist. The outfit she recently wore to QVC's Super Saturday charity shopping event in the Hamptons was molto bene and perfect for a breezy summer day. Blake paired a form-fitting white mini by Herve Leger with a tailored blue-and-white-striped Oxford, and the classic preppiness of the shirt balanced the raciness of the eensie-weensie skirt. She finished the look with a pair of brown patent round-toe pumps and a long chain necklace. Here's how you can get her look for way less, courtesy of Lemondrop!


1. Elizabeth and James Schoolboy Shirt: This menswear-inspired shirt features ruched sleeves and back buttons to keep it looking fitted, not boxy. $264
2. Forever 21 Cut Off Denim Skirt: A crisp white skirt like this can be worn to a daytime BBQ or as an impromptu beach cover-up. $20
3. Matisse Pump: A thick wooden heel and shiny patent upper combine to make this pump a true eye-catcher. $42
4. Sequin Long Chain Necklace: Add some funky style to a more classic look with a fun, tiered chain necklace like this gorgeous silver version. $40

Video Style Steal: Kristinia Debarge Works It In "Sabotage"

If Kristinia DeBarge looks slightly familiar to you, don't worry, you're not going crazy. I watched American Juniors too -- I'll admit it -- back when they still believed in inflicting Simon Cowell-like cruelty upon children... and Kristinia was quite the contender. She may not have made the winning group of singers (but let's face it -- it was probably for the best), but now she's making it big with single girl anthems like "Goodbye" from her solo album Exposed. In the video for her second single "Sabotage," she dons her darker side in a cropped moto jacket and textured tights, and shows off some sultry dance moves to boot. She may have first arrived on the scene years ago as a cute little crooner, but now she's sexy, single, and stylish... and ready to kick some serious butt. Click "See Video" to watch "Sabotage," then check the slideshow to see how you can cop one of Kristinia's video looks! Photo Credit: MTV.com

Video Style Steal: Leighton Meester Shows Us How "Good Girls Go Bad" In Style

Gossip Girl Leighton Meester is used to being a fashion icon by now. While it may have been a bit unexpected to find her break into singing with her featured spot in Cobra Starship's single "Good Girls Go Bad," it certainly came as no surprise to see that she added some seriously fashionable fierceness to the video. And while the covetable wardrobe she dons as she sneaks into the deli-turned-"speakeasy" setting may not be the only reason the video is nominated for a VMA for Best Pop Video, it definitely helps amp it up, no doubt! And the best thing about her style? It's easy to make it your own without breaking the bank! With a hot cropped blazer and dramatic smoky eyes, you won't be nearly as incognito as Leighton is in the video, but you'll definitely have a stylish night out!

Video Style Steal: Pink Goes Moto-Girlie In "Funhouse"

While Pink herself is right in the middle of her worldwide tour for her fifth studio album, Funhouse, her singles and in-your-face videos haven't taken a break from their chart-topping around the rest of the globe. Her latest vid for the album's title track is characteristically "Pink" in its rebellious tomboy vibes (after all, I don't know many girlie-girls who would dare frolic through a burning junkyard, much less while dressed head-to-toe in white), yet her wardrobe is surprisingly flirty at the same time. Then again, who else would you expect to find the perfect balance between feminine lace and badass biker chick? I may never understand her love-hate relationship with husband Corey Hart, and I'll be less likely to ever have the guts to be as bold as she is, but I can at least take a page or two from her book of style! With white distressed jeans and black belted boots, you can cop her outfit pretty easily -- I just don't recommend committing arson while you're wearing it. Click "See Video" to watch the Funhouse in action, then check out the slideshow for a shop-friendly version of the full video outfit! Photo Credit: Vh1.com
