Great Outfits: Jessica Stroup

Yes I know you are all tired of Herve Leger on the red carpet, but this was one of the best from the Fall 2008 collection. Jessica Stroup looked gorgeous when she took to the red carpet last night. Not so crazy about her shoe choice though. She completes her look with a winning smile.

Kristen Bell opted for a gorgeous summery floral Jill Stuart strapless dress, with a grey Revolve Clothing cardigan. The Gossip Girl narrator made her legs look miles long with the addition of nude Stuart Weitzman pumps.
Michelle Trachtenberg wore a grey Jill Stuart Resort 2009 halter neck dress, with a cute bow on the hip.
Jessica Stroup opted for a white floaty dress from the Spring 2009 collection.

Jessica Stroup arrived without a coat – brave girl – showing off how fabulous she looked, wearing a navy silk chiffon Pamella Roland Spring 2009 dress, with a ruffled plunging neckline, which she wore with silver peep-toes.

Jessica Stroup wore a white strapless Badgley Mischka Spring 2009 collection, with silver slingbacks. Her dress was presented as a gown, but I equally love this shorten version, as it’s young, fun and suits her personality.

I really like Jessica Stroup. She always looks great on the red carpet, and I don’t feel like she’s trying too hard. Last night she was all zipped up in her Elise Overland Fall 2009 teal satin mini dress, which she wore with Camilla Skovgaard peep-toe, cut-out booties.

Jessica Stroup really embodies the Spring time feeling I have been having, wearing an eggshell moire embroidered Brian Reyes Spring 2009 skirt, with a nude low v drop top by the same designer. Her look was complete with nude Jimmy Choo Corsica strappy sandals.

Jessica Stroup wears a tiered chiffon spaghetti strapped Brian Reyes dress with Dolce & Gabbana shoes, a Sergio Rossi clutch and Neil Lane gems. Her gorgeous dress has a layered silk chiffon skirt with frayed edges, and a contrast waist band. I love her hair loosely pull back, in this summery youthful look.

Jessica is fresh in her silk cowl-neck Jenni Kayne dress with an embellished belt, patent clutch, Siera jewelry and cutout sandals. Jessica Stroup is so cute. I always love what she wears and this is no exception. The “90210″ actress opted for a sleeveless Jenni Kayne Fall 2009 silk cobalt blue cowl neck mini dress, which she paired with black Jenni Kayne sandals.
This girl can wear a bin liner and still look great. The color is fab on her, and I just love the wider belt she wore with this dress. Her boldly-hued dress set off her dark hair and bright blue eyes. A simple colorful tunic can go double (or even triple!) duty when layered over leggings or skinny jeans.

Jessica accented her deco-inspired gold and black sequined Notte by Marchesa dress with gorgeous gold-trimmed black suede zipper Emporio Armani booties.

Jessica looks fabulous in her rather ill-fitting Vivienne Westwood red strapless dress that is horribly creased. I give her kudos for adding purple to a red dress, which most of us just don't do with her Brian Atwood Lola Suede pumps. Le Vian diamond bracelets and a Sutra diamond ring complete her look.

Jessica Stroup wore a flirty floral Charlotte Ronson Spring 2010 strapless dress which wasn’t in the Spring 2010 presentation. She paired her dress with snake-skin strappy sandals. She carried a large silver metallic Louis Vuitton clutch (non pictured).

Jessica played with stripes by pairing a pin-tucked tulle top with a colorblock skirt, both from Jason Wu Spring 2010 collection; she accessorized with purple metallic pumps and a red satin clutch from Sergio Rossi. Her cute Jason Wu Spring 2010 ensemble includes a navy colour block skirt and an ivory pintucked blouse with flutter sleeves.
I love the Sergio Rossi red clutch she carried with her look, and her Sergio Rossi’s purple metallic pumps.

Jessica Stroup always keeps her look young and fresh.
She wore a pair of gold metallic lace boy shorts and black tailored jacket from the ‘Amber Valletta for Monrow’ capsule collection with a sati top. Jimmy Choo Detroit suede ankle boots and a box clutch complete her look.

Great Outfits: Lily Collins

In a Catherine Malandrino crinkle chiffon shirt dress that looks gorgeous with her skin tone.

In a Oscar De La Renta Spring/Summer 2008 RTW dress. Lily said Anna Wintour picked it out for her.


Lily Collins wore this Alice + Olivia chain necklace top with AlDO Kilbury platform sandals.

Totally cute.



This would look stunning on Lily on the red carpet, except I don't like the heels.

Lily did some modeling ontop of reporting for Nickelodeon and being a student at UNC.

Llily looks like a Christian Dior-garbed housewife here, but I am loving it.

I always thought Taylor Lautner and Selena Gomez were the cutest couple, but Taylor and Lily Collins are totally cute together too.

Possible romance??? Who knows.



In a ladylike dress that looks a vintage find from the '60s. I love her jeweled pumps.







There aren't many paparazzi shots of Lily, surprisingly, but here is one of her wearing Toms canvas shoes.

In a strawy Chanel Spring 2010 RTW braided tweed dress with Camellias and fringe trim. I adore her gorgeous white gold and diamond Camélia Chanel ring, Spring 2009 Couture heels and white satin diamond clutch.



I am really not digging black accessories with this gorgeous Burberry Prorsum Spring 2010 chiffon knotted dress. Though I do love her Lauren Merkin Eve lizard clutch.

In a gorgeous Chanel Haute Couture Spring 2008 dress. I don't like her Chanel satin black pumps with a logo engraved pearl heel. COLOR COORDINATION, gorgeous.

This is how I wish Lily Collins dressed because she can totally pull off cute.



In a cute spotted flutter sleeve Michael Kors dress.

Lily wears a bright red Stella McCartney Fall 2010 RTW sheer dress and satin and cork Quinn sandals. I love this look, and her Falabella shiny chain clutch from the Stella McCartney Resort 2010 Collection.


Lily poses in a mature, lady-like Behnaz Sarafpour dress with the designer.

Lily is in head-to-toe Chanel. I don't think this dress is anything special, if anything it is boring.

I am so glad Lily chose this green Matthew Williamson Spring 2009 RTW dress with beaded straps, as it goes wonderfully with her coloring, so I don't know why she wore those evil tights and those schooly shoes!

This look would look sleeker if she didn't wear those tights! Her Sergio Rossi slingback are fab. Lily was attending a charity event hosted by the gorgeous Russian model Natalia Vodianova, which raised money for her charity The Naked Heart Foundation.

The actress and daughter of singer Phil Collins wore a Tibi asymmetrical beaded mini dress, which I love so much. Lily paired her dress with bright orange Brian Atwood Martay pumps and gold drop earrings with a orange pendant.

Sleek pulled back hair is becoming Lily Collin's signature look, and she looks lovely here in an asymmetrical baby blue dress with a circular hem and nude heels.

Lily is head-to-toe in Chanel. Her dress reminds me of an embroidered cloud of whipped cream. I love her black patent Chanel Paris Moscou pumps with pearl trims.


Lily wears a night out-about-town look, all of which is Jimmy Choo for H&M. I love her black sequined blazer and mauve top accented with a gold tassel necklace.

I am ignoring her black tights and mystery gold-edged heels that I can't see because they are blacked out. I love everything else though. I love her peach ruffled blouse and gorgeous purple brocade skirt from Matthew Williamson's Pre-fall 2010 collection.

She wore a crushed BCBG Max Azria taupe dress, with gold heels. I wish she dropped the weak necklace. I do like how this dress works with her coloring.

Lily has been seen wearing many big name designers, include Temperley London Fall 2008, Erdem Fall 2008 dress and Chanel Fall 2008 RTW.

Lily wore a lace Topshop lace bodycon dress with some Primal High Sandal by Boutique sandals sold at Topshop which very much look like the stunning Louis Vuitton "Spicy" sandals. Gold jewelery and a black patent clutch completed the look.

The teen star wore beautiful Jason Wu Spring 2010 aqua dress with a bubble skirt.
This is a great look and I especially love the red waist belt and the patterned bodice.
What I didn’t like were the Sergio Rossi ankle boots.
Seriously, please can we ditch these ankle boots with everything.

When I pictured looks from the Gianfranco Ferré Spring 2010 collection on the red carpet, teen actress Lily Collins wouldn’t have been the first person to come to mind.
She wore a one-shoulder coffee colored dress from the Gianfranco Ferré Spring 2010 collection. The dress with a swirling detail was paired with matching peep-toe heels and a matching clutch. This is a cute look for her, but I’m not so sure she should’ve picked a dress that was the same shade of color as her hair. I would’ve like this better if she had swept her hair off her shoulder. She still looks fabulous.
