How can I dress warmly while on a date in winter, but still look sexy?
—Leona, via the Ask Style inbox
Two words: Textured legwear. You can't do much about having to wear a coat, but eventually, one would hope, you'll take it off, unless your date plans on taking you camping, which, seriously, I wouldn't wish that on anybody.

TREND: Foliage-inspired fashion
WHO'S WEARING IT: Nicole Richie, Joss Stone and Kerry Washington
HOW TO WEAR IT: Fall is the perfect time to branch out with an homage to the lovely leaf. Frond-shaped earrings are a really easy way to incorporate this perennial earthy trend into your everyday look. If you're shopping for a leaf-printed dress, we suggest you opt for one with seasonally appropriate long sleeves. The stars in sunny SoCal might be comfortable with bare arms in autumn, but not everyone can be so lucky. Brrr!

Is there any way to adapt any of the looks in Lady Gaga's new "Bad Romance" video without looking completely insane?
—Malia, via the Ask Style inbox
While I cannot recommend purchasing a pair of 10-inch, bedazzled cartoon hooves, I do see some workable aspects to designer Alexander McQueen's work. And that's who we're dealing with, really. His clothes are all over Lady Gaga's video for "Bad Romance." As an ordinary person, you're technically out of luck, at least for a few more months; the McQueen looks presented in "Bad Romance" (and in McQueen's latest fashion show), were for Spring 2010; they aren't even all that available for mere mortals like us until the rainy months.

Let's get a few things straight.
There are three looks that work for Beyoncé: around the way girl, little miss perfect glamour queen and bootylicious sex kitten. Not edgy, high-fashion superstar. (Leave that to Rihanna, B. Seriously.)
Lady Gaga, on the other hand? Anything goes. Just nothing, well, normal. Sure, we get on her case sometimes, but we have to admit she sure as heck keeps the fashion watching interesting.
Got it? Good!
So you can imagine how annoyed we were when we saw the duo's music video for "Video Phone." B. bites Rihanna's style with futuristic shades and an outfit straight out of RiRi's "Wait Your Turn (The Wait is Ova)" video: a bold shoulder jacket, garter belt and thigh-high boots. (She also channels pinup legend Bettie Page.) Meanwhile, a way toned down Gaga bops around in a leotard, high heels and long, flowy hair. Yawn.
Watch the video above and check out the madness for yourself.

Twilight star Nikki Reed gave us a peek at her personal style during the 4th Annual Hamilton Behind the Camera Awards Presented by Movieline.com...
What She's Stylin': I'm in a Nanette Lepore dress and Paul & Joe blazer. My clutch and heels are by Jimmy Choo. I have an appreciation for Jimmy Choo. These shoes are cool and very offbeat. I can walk in them, which is incredible because I can't walk in anything!
Fashion Philosophy: I do not know much about fashion, but I'd say that my fashion is random, unconventional and sometimes masculine.
Style Icon: I love Diane Keaton. I think she's really funky, and she always pulls something cool together.
Fave Beauty Product: I use a lot of ChapStick. I think ChapStick is always a good thing.
Scent-sational Surprise: I don't wear any fragrances. I just wear men's deodorant and call it a day!

Good heavens! This TV surgeon looks like she just stepped off the Mayflower. We're excited for Turkey Day, too, but we're not about to dress like a friggin' Pilgrim. This fashion emergency needs to be sent to the OR—STAT!

TREND: Crystal-encrusted tops
WHO'S WEARING IT: Eva Mendes and Chloë Sevigny, both in Miu Miu looks from the spring runway
HOW TO WEAR IT: Diamonds aren't every girl's best friend. If you hate digging through your jewelry box, try an embellished top instead. At last night's MOCA 30th Anniversary gala, stars shined in intricately bejeweled designs that required no jewelry except for a ring or simple pair of studs. Just stick to one crystal-studded item per outfit. Head-to-toe gemstones only worked on Miuccia Prada's fall runway.

I've noticed celebs like Katie Holmes and Kristin Cavallari showing off their black bras under sheer dresses. What's up with that? Is it OK 'cause it's black?
—Megan, via the Ask Style inbox
No, dear, the reason it's OK isn't because the bra is black and so is the dress. It isn't even because the dress is expensive, as in the recent case of Katie Holmes, who appeared on the red carpet in an Azzedine Alaïa so transparent it was well nigh negligee-esque. No, the reason it's OK is because they're stars. And despite US Weekly's insistence otherwise, stars are not just like us.

If Nicole Kidman is as loyal to hubby Keith Urban as she is to her stylist, designer L'Wren Scott, Sunday's parents are going to have one long, happy marriage.
The statuesque beauty showed up to tonight's CMA Awards in—surprise!—yet another L'Wren Scott gown straight off the runway. But this time, Nicole added a special accessory: the most amazing push-up bra. Ever.
If we didn't know better, we'd think Nicole was pulling an Amy Winehouse on us. But we're pretty certain her sudden enhancement is only temporary. Still, Keith doesn't seem to mind. Just look at that smile!

Her younger sis Khloé may be getting lots of attention for her quickie wedding to Laker star Lamar Odom, but Kourtney Kardashian is also the topic of many conversations, thanks to her supercute maternity outfits—and when her baby boy arrives next month, we're sure the world will be keeping up with him, too!
Yesterday Kourt was spotted at a Los Angeles Barnes & Noble—our guess is to pick up baby books—with her other sibling Kim (not pictured), looking quite chic in a navy blue sweater that she wore over a white button-down. The glowing star also wore a color-coordinated statement necklace, handbag and trendy tattered leggings. Cognac knee-high boots popped against the preppy casual look.

Scrubs star Judy Reyes is due to deliver her first child (It's a girl!) any day now, but that didn't stop her from checking out the Asics and Hello Kitty Lounge. We stole a second with the actress to get the deets on her pregnancy and more...
Inner Glow: I've been looking very cute during my pregnancy. My skin and hair are looking healthy.
Cravings: Muffins and ice—not together. I have to eat a muffin every morning. Whatever I drink has to have a lot of ice 'cause I spend the rest the day chewing on it.
Fashion Obsession: Knit hats! I love wearing them because I don't have to mess with my hair too much.
Best Dressed Celeb Mom: I like Gwen Stefani. She always seems to walk outside the house having made her own clothes. She just dresses for herself. It's so New York, so downtown, so Lower East Side.
Heels for Her Tot? I'm here to pick up sneakers and I walk around in Uggs! Suri Cruise is adorable, but I'm not a fan of toddlers walking around in heels. It's hard enough for adult women to do it, let alone little girls! I'm not going to subject my daughter to wearing heels.

If she hadn't been so preoccupied with the end of the world and all, maybe this actress would've thought twice about wearing such a tacky dress. The wide skirt and extra frill didn't flatter the otherwise svelte starlet one bit.

Reason no. 394 we love Michelle Obama? She's helping us with the seemingly impossible task of teaching our little ones to eat their veggies! To mark the 40th anniversary of Sesame Street, the first lady will appear on the children's program tomorrow, encouraging kids to grow their own tomatoes, cucumbers, lettuce and carrots.
"If you eat these vegetables, you will grow up to be big and strong like me," explains Michelle, who dressed for the occasion in a green cardi. "I know you are going to like these vegetables because in addition to being healthy, they really taste great, too."
No word yet on whether Cookie Monster or Oscar the Grouch stormed off the set in protest.
