At last night's premiere of her new movie, Ghosts of Girlfriends Past, Emma Stone successfully brought to life a look that was both edgy and sweet. Clad head to toe in Miu Miu, the actress softened up her LBD and matching cage platforms with the designer's bejeweled nude satin-bow necklace. The jewelry—with its neutral color and transparent gems—was a great way to work in spring's whimsical, feminine feel without looking too cutesy.
Give your LBD a dose of tenderness with the exact same necklace—or pick up the steal version from Spiegel. Just hot-glue a bauble to the bow's center.

Tie-dye has resurrected itself from its hippie past to a versatile present. An explosion of color can still exude boho glam, as Nicole Richie demonstrates in this MoMo FaLana maxi. (The look was hot with hipsters at the Coachella music fest and with Lauren Conrad in Vegas this past weekend.) But when the print appears on a jacket worn over a pretty mini, tie-dye goes couture. Just check out Brittany Snow's chiffon Erin Fetherston. Then there's Balmain's rock-star chic runway—tie-dye jeans paired with a leather jacket that Victoria Beckham recently wore in Milan.

Florals aren't just for hippies and girlie-girls anymore. Even rock stars can bloom this spring. Just take a look at Fergie and Victoria Beckham, who are fans of Valentino's textured tote. The leather petals are anything but prim and proper, so the purse goes with ripped jeans—and everything from Rag & Bone's edgy spring collection.
We found similar bouquet bags, which are featured in the gallery below. As for the the black rose clutches, you can carry at night with leather leggings or a daring LBD. Just whatever you do, please leave the chauffeur's hat to Posh.

Judging by the wildly embellished D&G tunic Zoe Saldana wore to the Italian label's boutique opening, the Pirates of the Carribean star is adventurous when it comes to fashion.
"I like pieces that look like they took the most amount of artistry to make," Zoe explained to mystyle. "Those are the ones designers are really passionate about."
It's no wonder the actress salivates over Cate Blanchett's and Chloë Sevigny's bold style. "They're true artists who take risks—sometimes they work and sometimes they don't, but they're worth taking."
Her fave red carpet look so far? The menswear-inspired tux she wore over the holidays. "I find it very attractive and strong when women seem androgynous," she dishes. "That goes for guys, too! I love men who wear eyeliner."

After seeing Anne Hathaway in a Boy by Band of Outsiders suit at the Bride Wars premiere, I was nervous that I'd made the wrong choice in crowning her mystyle's Top Couture Look of 2008. Costar Kate Hudson completely outshined her at the event. Luckily, Anne made amends for that unfortunate experiment at last night's Palm Springs International Film Festival gala.
The sweetheart neckline of her Balmain strapless showed off her décolletage, while the embellished stripe drew attention to her small waist. The soft retro waves and Cartier jewels were the Old Hollywood icing on the actress' deliciously stylish cake.

Anne Hathaway sure has come a long way—in both fashion and her personal life. A role in The Devil Wears Prada educated her about top designers, but it wasn't until recently that she entered the league of couture goddesses.

At the 15th Annual Lint Roller Party, Lisa Edelstein, who plays Dr. Cuddy on House, dished on her prescription for happiness: beautiful designer gowns.
"You really do feel like a princess when you're in them," raves the actress, who's a fan of Pamella Roland and Reem Acra. "They're just so well-made and exquisite."
To make sure that her face is equally flawless, she uses makeup brand Clé de Peau Beauté. "I love all of their foundations and cover ups and eye shadows. They really have a beautiful array of makeup."
And to end the day, Lisa relaxes with her favorite beauty ritual: "I steam makeup off my face with Shu Uemura's Cleansing Oil," she says. "It's fantastic!"

Rosario Dawson was in town for only two days during New York Fashion Week. But that was enough for the Eagle Eye actress, because she had a front-row seat at the Diane von Furstenberg runway show.
"I think Diane's wonderful. She has this energy about her. She comes over, touches your arm and says hello and you're like, 'Hiii!' " the star told mystyle at the David Drebin Photography Exhibit, which she cohosted with Angeleno magazine and LA-based art dealer Guy Hepner at the W Hotel. "I got a girl crush on DvF."
Rosario was just as giddy about the designer's Spring 2009 collection. "Diane makes a wardrobe," she raves. "Everything was very feminine, strong and bold. I wanted to buy all of the pieces."
But she's not about to give in to that impulse. The fashionista follows the advice of friend Kerry Washington to keep her spending in check. "Kerry uses a '10 rule,' which I really like," Rosario dishes. "You take the price of something and divide it by 10 and if you're going to wear it that many times, it's worth the crazy price."

We recently caught ourselves staring long and hard at Liv Tyler and Michelle Monaghan's chests. The sheer panel on the front of their dresses is genius. It's a great way to keep everything in place while rocking a sexy, low–cut neckline. Michelle was clever enough to camouflage with a big necklace, one of her fave trends. From afar, you can't even tell she's cheating.

It's not a wrap for the bow trend just yet. The ornament has migrated from the décolletage and the waist down to the toes of celebs. So what's the appeal? "Bows are young and girlie, but attach them to a very high heel and you've got a shoe that will stop 'em in their tracks!," raves Jess Zaino, stylist for How Do I Look? A bow-embellished heel that's monochromatic or neutral-toned is elegant, while a bright or printed one makes a fun, quirky statement. Remember to hike up your hemline to showcase the dainty detail.
Can you guess who made a present out of their pretty feet above? One of the stars above is Inn Love; another is the Housewife of a Spur; and the other had better not try climbing Hills in these heels. See if you recognized these gams after the jump!

Need help dressing for your petite frame? Just follow Kerry Washington's lead. With her tricks (and a killer pair of stilettos!), you'll be standing tall in no time. The fashionista knows how to wear every trend without getting lost in the clothing. Her secret: emphasizing her waist and paying attention to hemlines.
Short and sweet: When it comes to color, Kerry realizes that too much bright fabric would drown her small frame. So she plays with just the right amount of volume in the skirt and keeps it short (above, left). The sweetheart neckline accentuates her womanly curves.
