style tips from the stars

  Kelsey Chow eschewed plain and practical underwear to hide her modesty under her sheer dress. This polka dot bustier turned a 'meh' in to 'wow'- Break the rules: Shoes for a cocktail party, cosy cardigan for the couch, sleeveless belted trench for the office, sunglasses for the beach and a beanie for the slopes. Sounds so wrong, but on Sarah Jessica Parker it's just SO right. Don't be afraid the mix up your options or your textures.

 Wear something white at night

When red wine is in the equation it's easy to reach for black, but take a tip from fashion forward Tilda who stood out from the crowd in head-to-toe snow at the W Magazine pre-Golden Globes party.

Take the edge off a vampish evening look with soft, daytime accessories- Velvet and satin were on the menu for Stella McCartney when she attended Kate Moss's birthday dinner earlier this week. But the ever-stylish fashion designer knows better than to overkill the look with evening accessories, opting instead for a soft grey daytime clutch and chunky, dusky pink scarf.

 A sprinkle of fur can up-style any outfit

Furry accessories add a touch of glamour without having to change your whole outfit - perfect for grunge princesses like Zoe Kravitz.
- Tights and open-toe sandals can be a winning formula: So long as your tights are thick and black and your sandals are chunky, statement platforms like Alexa's. Avoid stiletto heels at all costs.

 A little leopard goes a long way

Just ask Kate Moss, whose classic '60s vibe leopard print coat lends her otherwise unremarkable outfit an instant rock 'n' roll edge.- Channel the Twenties trend via the medium of accessories: Don't see yourself in a gold beaded flapper dress this season? Nod to the Gatsby Glamour trend sweeping the catwalks with a headband like Fearne Cotton.

Don't be afraid to pop
If you're going for colour, you may as well go for it big time. Follow Kirsten Dunst's lead and keep everything else minimal and understated.-Double bag it: Why take one handbag, when you can take two? This is a trend we're starting to see more and more so make like Whitney Port and multiply your arm candy.
