Blake Lively: Then & Now

A beautiful blond mane, legs that go on for miles, a sparkly smile . . .   Back in 2005, Blake Lively appeared to be just another California beauty, but she had the raw material to make a stunning transformation. Four years later, looking sophisticated and chic in basic black, I think it’s safe to say she’s graduated from the Hollywood school of glam.  Some girls have all the luck!

Then & Now: Lauren Conrad

When you’ve been spotting celebrities as long as I have, you notice the little things . . . like the way Lauren Conrad has mastered using makeup. Back in 2007, she could have gotten lost in a crowd looking pretty in pearls. Three short years later, LC is glowing like a true It Girl. The harsh lighting in the first pic doesn’t help—but neither picture has been Photoshopped. Isn’t it remarkable what a little press powder can do?

Then & Now: Leighton Meester

Back in 2003, Leighton Meester emerged looking like a boho beauty, complete with sun-streaked hair, face-framing braids and flowy blouses. Now, a few years older and several shades darker, she’s much more than a California cutie; she’s a veritable couture queen. Do you think Leighton has what it takes to be a fashion icon?

Then & Now: Taylor Swift

Taylor Swift may alternate between straight, sleek hair and romantic ringlets, but her signature style of ladylike dresses and soft makeup stays intact. If you love your look, why mess with it? In a land of plastic surgery and major makeovers, do you find Taylor’s resistance to change refreshing or boring?

Then & Now: Ed Westwick

The devil’s in the details . . . or is it just in Ed Westwick‘s eyes? Ed’s playful pouts are his trademark, but over the years he’s gotten ever more dapper, sporting perfectly tailored suits, sharp shirts, and skinny ties. And most importantly: he’s learned that chest hair is not an accessory.

Kim Kardashian’s bebe

Spotted: Kim Kardashian proving that she’s more than just a pretty face at her bebe runway show during NY Fashion Week. Unlike most reality stars-turned-designers (I’m looking at you, Whitney Port), Kimmy K actually seems to know a thing or two about the garment biz.

Check the Kardashian designs in the vid below, then tell me, do you think Kim’s foray is tres chic—or a fashion flop?

Go Wilde or Stay Home

If Olivia Wilde makes an Oscar appearance this year, the fashion gods will be watching. The beaded silver Gucci gown she rocked on Golden Globe night is nearly impossible to top—and, frankly, Hollywood’s fashion-impaired will be lucky if TV’s sexiest doc stays home.

Fergaliciousness

Stacy Ferguson looked foxy, foxy in this periwinkle chiffon Elie Saab gown at the Golden Globes, and I’m hoping she can spice up the Oscars in something even more Glamorous.  My Fergie Ferg wish for Oscar night is this: May she look like a ten when her co-star, Penelope Cruz, wins for Nine.

One to Watch

Fresh from her Golden Globe win in this chic Atelier Versace gown, Drew Barrymore may be glowing brighter than Oscar himself on Sunday night. Whether she’s a DO or an OH, NO, SHE DIDN’T, Drew already has what she hoped for this year. So what’s left to wish for?

Have fun, Drew. I’ll be watching.

XoXo,

Red Carpet Gold

At the Golden Globes this year, True Blood‘s Anna Paquin was Anna Sequin in this stunning gold Stella McCartney gown. Confession: If I owned this dress and the vintage Stephen Russell jewelry that goes with it, I’d make an Oscar night appearance myself.
