Web Gem: Your Favorite Celeb Looks Through the Years

I have a love-hate relationship with tabloids and other celeb-centered publications. One minute I'm nonchalantly flipping through the pages, and the next I'm hit with an intense wave of desire, must.have.that.bag! (or shirt, or shoes, and so on). I usually get over it, dismissing the bag or other item as simply unattainable for someone of non-starlet status - until now that is! Next time desire strikes, I'll be heading over to People StyleWatch asap. They have an entire archive of celeb-coveted items, where to get them, and even how you can obtain their look for less! Head on over to People Style Watch You Asked, We Found: Star Looks right now!

Web Gem: Designer Garments That Do Double Duty

We've all had the experience (or at least dread) of showing up to an event wearing the same outfit as someone else. For me it happened at the SF Ballet opening, the girl seated directly in front of me was wearing the same DVF dress that I had sought out specifically for the event! Lucky for me People Stylewatch wasn't there to document my mortification. However, lucky for you, People has a series of polls up asking you to judge just which star wore it best. Lucky for these stars, they don't seem to be at the same events, but let's be real, Hollywood is one big event! Who wore the Elizabeth and James blazer better?-- Rihanna or Karina Smirnoff? Click on over to make your vote on this poll and many more!

Hive 5: My Favorite Starry Styles From YOUR Stylehives!

So you want to add a bit of brightness to your look, but you're not so sure you can pull off the intensity of yellow and orange. I get that. That's why I'm all over the star trend that's slowly making its way into stores, but luckily it's not completely played out, which only means one thing - I want it all! Lagerfeld liberally sprinkled stars all over the Chanel Spring 08 runways, and while I can't exactly wrap my head around a star-print jumpsuit à la Kate Moss, I could easily wrap myself in the scarf version- it's whimsical, still unexpected, and perfect for all year round. Which is good because I don't think I'd ever take it off. If I got my hands on one, that is. Anyway, check out my slideshow for five starstruck styles!

Style Icons: The Pirelli Calendar Girls

The Italians have always been the masters of food and fashion. And while gelato, authentic Italian pizza, and gourmet cheese are all delicious, the fashion is what's truly exquisite! There is nothing more inspiring as the eye-candy that is the Pirelli Calendar! It's where high fashion, glamor, and the biggest models of each era come together to celebrate beauty, the female form, and iconic photography. This year's calendar was shot by famed photog Patrick Demarchelier in Shanghai, dressing models Gemma Ward, Agyness Dyen and Coco Rocha, to name a few, as geisha girls, ala Christian Dior.

Celebs Get Gorgeous at the Grammy Awards

Whoever came up with that saying that goes something like "one hundred years from now, no one will care about what you wore or who you dated" clearly never thought very much about the Grammy Awards, because as far as we're concerned, looking back, we'll only really care about the dresses. And the people who wore the dresses. And the people who showed up with the people who wore the dresses. But mostly just the dresses.

See our slideshow of celebs out and about on a very long overdue, very red carpet!
