Anne Hathaway's Glam Style Evolution

Anne Hathaway

In August 2011, Anne Hathaway gave thanks to Kate Middleton for "dressing like a lady," adding that her own fashion choices were being steered by the stylish Duchess of Cambridge.

But it's no secret that Hathaway, 29, has her own following of fashionistas. Between her penchant for high-fashion designers and her own sartorial risks, life is anything but boring when the award-winning actress steps out on the red carpet.

Take her choice at the Devil Wears Prada premiere in 2006 -- her plunging red gown with flutter sleeves teamed with embellished heels had the perfect balance of sohpistication and sex appeal.

The same goes for her sparkling Armani Prive number, which she donned at a 2011 Golden Globe after party. She paired the Swarovski crystal-adorned dress with vintage Van Cleef & Arpels jewels.

But her most head-turning look to date has to be her most recent change: her dramatic slim down and pixie haircut for her role in Les Miserables.

"I wasn't expecting it to be a big deal. It was my idea to do it, since it was something the character did... [But then] I realized I couldn’t take it back," the actress, who got engaged to her beau Adam Shulman in November 2011, described during an appearance on Live! With Kelly of chopping off her locks. "[I was] a mental patient level of crying... I was inconsolable.'

Jessica Biel: Justin Timberlake Gives Me Style Advice!

 Jessica Biel and Justin Timberlake attend the 2011 Vanity Fair Oscar Party Hosted by Graydon Carter at the Sunset Tower Hotel on February 27, 2011 in West Hollywood, California.

When Jessica Biel needs some fashion-related feedback, she knows she can count on fiance Justin Timberlake.

"We both really love fashion. There are definitely moments where I'll come out in an outfit and he'll give me that look!" Biel, 30, explained to The Sun at the Total Recall premiere in Los Angeles Wednesday about Timberlake (who launched his own clothing line, William Rast, in 2005.)

"He'll take me back into the closet and I'll change my shoes and I'm like, 'Yeah, this is way better,'" she shared, admitting she doesn't always agree with his suggestions. "Sometimes I won't change!"

Earlier this week, Biel opened up to The Chicago Sun-Times about taking her time with wedding planning, confessing she's arranged "almost nothing" for her big day since getting engaged to Timberlake over the holidays.

"I'm just enjoying being engaged," the actress said. "I do feel like there is a lot of ti me . . . nothing needs to be rushed."

Continued Biel, "Everyone tells me that being engaged is the really special moment. Not that it gets bad when you get married! But being engaged is just absolutely amazing. You're in this romantic, ahhhhh, breathless moment that I'm just trying to extend as long as possible."

Go Behind the Scenes with Kate Bosworth, Boyfriend Michael Polish in New JewelMint Shoot


Kate Bosworth needed to draw some inspiration for her latest JewelMint line, so she and her boyfriend Michael Polish picked up and hit the streets of Seoul, South Korea.

In the video above, Bosworth, 29, takes the camera from her filmmaker beau, 41, to show her fans the places and architecture that inspired the bracelets, necklaces, earrings and rings in the her and stylist friend Cher Coulter's on-trend collection.

Along the way, Bosworth turns the camera on Polish, who appears to be much less comfortable in front of the camera -- something that his actress girlfriend of one year is a pro at.

Kate Middleton Tops Vanity Fair's Annual Best-Dressed List Again!

Kate Middleton

Kate Middleton has come out on top once again. The Duchess of Cambridge has been voted as the No.1 most stylish person on Vanity Fair's annual International Best-Dressed List. The Help's Jessica Chastain is right on her fashionable heels and together, the two share different covers of Vanity Fair's September 2012 issue.

The 30-year-old royal's penchant for both designer labels like Alexander McQueen and Jimmy Choo, mixed with her favor of affordable brands like Zara and Topshop, have made the brunette beauty somewhat of a fashion fixture since marrying Prince William, 30, on April 29, 2011. Her brother-in-law, Prince Harry, 27, has also made his debut on the list.

"Middleton is said to find the constant clothing changes required by her itinerary, sometimes up to five a day, to be rather stressful," the mag writes. "Prince Charles spent an estimated $55, 000 in the first half of the year on designer clothes for his daughter-in-law, but Middleton continues to decline the services of a royal dresser, preferring instead to shop for herself."

Also on the 73rd International Best Dressed List: actress and fashion week staple Diane Kruger, 36, new dad Jay-Z, 42, My Week with Marilyn star and Burberry spokesmodel Eddie Redmayne, 30, and New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, 34. Colin Firth, 51, and his wife, Livia Firth, top the best-dressed couples category.

PIC: Kate Middleton Recycles Dove Grey Dress, Wears Hair Up for Creative Industries Reception

atherine, Duchess of Cambridge attends the UK's Creative Industries Reception at Royal Academy of Arts on July 30, 2012 in London, England.

If there were an Olympics of style, Kate Middleton would surely take home the gold.

The Duchess of York took a break from supporting Great Britain's world-class athletes Monday evening to attend the U.K.'s Creative Industries Reception at the Royal Academy of Arts in London.

Prince William's wife, 30, looked elegant in a dove grey wool crepe Roksanda Ilincic frock and pinned her signature blown-out locks back in a chic chignon. (If the dress looks familiar, it's because this wasn't Kate's first time wearing it out and about -- she also rocked it for her arrival in Los Angeles for her Summer 2011 visit to the U.S.)

At the event, Kate mingled with fellow partygoers and "especially enjoyed chatting with Stella McCartney," a source tells Us Weekly. "They spoke about the Olympics and the opening ceremony . . . and fashion, of course!"

Earlier Monday, the future Queen of England and her husband cheered on Will and Harry's cousin, Zara Phillips, at day two of the London Olympics' three-day equestrian competition.

One reason to look forward to fall: Kate Hudson's gorgeous new ad campaign for Ann Taylor!

Dressed in the brand's chicest on-trend pieces, the actress, 33, who gave birth to son Bingham last July, looks incredible with flawless makeup and her hair styled in windblown waves. In one photo, she shows off her slim figure in a sexy, body-hugging animal print dress with 3/4-length sleeves.

Those fashionistas who are thinking pink this season will be pleased to know that Ann Taylor believes magenta is still an It color for fall -- and Hudson sports two different eye-popping tops in the hue.

To get her post-baby body back, Hudson did daily, hourlong dance sessions in a studio built behind her L.A. home. The star, engaged to Bingham's dad, Muse rocker Matthew Bellamy, also kept to strict portions of protein and veggies and stopped eating after 7 p.m. "It worked," raved a friend to Us Weekly. "She has no baby fat left!"

Jessica Biel is wearing her heart on her sleeve -- er, around her neck!

In Hollywood on Thursday, the engaged star showed off her newest bling: a gold "Justin" nameplate necklace that paid homage to her soon-to-be husband, Justin Timberlake, 31, who is away in Puerto Rico shooting his latest flick, Runner, Runner.

In addition to her statement-making jewelry, Biel, 30, showed off her slim figure in black, high-waisted skinny jeans, a loose-fitting orange sweater and sunglasses.

During her Wednesday appearance on The Tonight Show With Jay Len o, the Total Recall actress gushed about her recent trip to Puerto Rico where she showed off her incredible body in bikini bottoms and a wetsuit. "I was visiting my fiance there," she explained, acknowledging their engagement for the first time on television. (Us Weekly first broke the news in January.) "He's shooting a film there. So I'm vacationing. I'm having the best time of my life. It's fantastic."

Biel isn't the only star to put her love on display with nameplate jewelry. Days after the birth of Penelope Scotland Disick, proud aunts Kim Kardashian and Kendall and Kylie Jenner stepped out with "Mason <3 Penelope" necklaces -- a gift from grandma Kris Jenner to celebrate the birth of Kourtney Kardashian's second child with beau Scott Disick.

Heidi Klum: Katie Holmes "Has Great Style"

Heidi Klum, Katie Holmes

Heidi Klum knew Katie Holmes would nail her appearance on Project Runway: All Stars.

"She has great style. She has her own style. She's a designer, so I'm sure she did a good job," the German stunner told The Hollywood Reporter at an event in NYC celebrating Project Runway's 10-season anniversary last week.

Added Klum of the Holmes & Yang designer (her collection with stylist Jeanne Yang), "I think [Katie] has a great line. I like a lot of her clothes, especially right now. She has these very beautiful spaghetti-strap camisoles. I love them, and the line. Sometimes these very basic things are the hardest ones to find."

In addition to sharing a passion for fashion, both Klum and Holmes have something pretty major in common: both women have undergone recent high-profile splits.

The former Victoria's Secret model parted ways from her hubby of seven year s, Seal, in January; Holmes blindsided husband Tom Cruise by filing for divorce June 28 after five years of marriage.

Kendall Jenner Shows Off Long Legs in Fashion's Night Out Ad Campaign

Kendall Jenner has walked the runway during New York Fashion Week, but this year, she's the face of the stylish event's annual "Fashion's Night Out" soiree.

Rocking a totally glam bouffant hairstyle and racy red lipstick, the 16-year-old Keeping Up with the Kardashians star dons a gorgeous gown (in 2012's on-trend hue, tangerine) that shows off her long legs and purple satin pumps in the ad promoting Beverly Center's Sept. 6, 2012 event.

The global initiative was conceived in 2009 by Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour and has been fleshed out into a can't-miss affair that occurs every September during Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week's Spring presentations in New York City.

VIDEO: Watch Jef Holm propose to Emily Maynard

The 26-year-old single mom's Jean Fares Couture will be forever captured in TV history as Holm, 28, got down on one knee to propose. But not everyone is sold on the bronze and salmon-colored chiffon design from the label's Pret A Porter Summer 2012 collection that features an embellished sequin bodice. In fact, Entertainment Weekly referred to the creation as something "from the Xena: Warrior Princess Collection."

As for her several seconds-long pause following her Utah-based entrepreneur love's big question, Maynard attributed the painstaking moment to pure surprise and elation.

"It was kind of a surprise because we've never really talked about an engagement, even though I should have known," Maynard explained during her interview on Good Morning America on Monday. "Really I just wanted to soak in the moment and really make a decision for my heart…take in the moment and remember it."

Demi Lovato Feathered Dress at 2012 Teen Choice Awards: Hit or Miss?


As co-host of the Teen Choice Awards in Universal City, Calif. July 22, X Factor judge Demi Lovato donned a variety of looks, but perhaps none was as eye-catching as the one she wore on the red carpet.

The 19-year-old "Give Your Heart a Break" singer selected an embellished, feathered frock by Falguni + Shane Peacock, which she accessorized with Christian Louboutin platform peep-toes and diamond jewelry. Lovato is not the first star to wear the look, however, as supermodel Selita Ebanks, 29, wore an elongated version of the dress to the BET Awards on July 1.

Kate Middleton Wears $70,500 Necklace for Daytime Event

Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge on July 19, 2012 in London, England.

Going for the gold!

Kate Middleton stepped out Thursday to attend the National Portrait Gallery's Olympic-themed new exhibit in London wearing a stunning Stella McCartney royal blue dress and Prada pumps.

But the real show-stopper of The Duchess of Cambridge's ensemble was the 18 karat yellow, rose and white gold diamond Trinity de Cartier necklace. The Olympics-inspired necklace features five rings and comes with the price tag of $70,500.

The Duchess' electric blue dress was also Olympics-themed as McCartney created Great Britain's Olympic team uniforms for the 2012 games. 

Middleton, 30, attended the pre-Olympics event without husband Prince William by her side. The "Road to 2012: Aiming High" exhibit reportedly features a photo of the Duchess taken earlier this year of her playing field hockey in Olympic Park, the Daily Mail reports.

And William's wife also has a special connection to the exhibit. She wrote her art history thesis while at St. Andrew's University -- where the couple first fell in love -- on Lewis Carroll's photography.

Sans husband Prince William, the Duchess of Cambridge, 30, turned up at the National Portrait Gallery's Olympic-themed new exhibit, "Road to 2012: Aiming High." (According to the Daily Mail, a photograph of Middleton herself is featured in the exhibit -- taken earlier this year, the pic features the former college athlete playing field hockey in Olympic Park.)

England's future Queen looked appropriately regal -- but flirty! -- in a blue crepe dress by Stella McCartney that accentuated her famous legs and always-svelte frame. Completing the look? Black Prada high heels and an Olympic-themed gold-hooped necklace (from the Duchess' own collection).

The exhibit was one close to the Duchess' heart: While an undergrad at St. Andrew's University -- where she first fell in love with William, 30 -- Kate wrote her art history thesis on the photography of Lewis Carroll, who wrote Alice in Wonderland.

Alec Baldwin and his new wife Hilaria (Thomas) Baldwin looked every bit the ecstatic newlywed couple in their wedding photo, published on the cover of the new Hello! magazine.

The 30 Rock actor, 54, looked dapper in a tailored black Tom Ford tuxedo while holding his 28-year-old wife, who donned a gorgeous white gown, complete with a cathedral-length veil, designed by Amsale.

"I didn't expect to fall in love with somebody who was 26 years my senior, but you cannot help who you fall in love with," Hilaria, an NYC-based yoga instructor, told the British magazine.

On June 30, the pair swapped vows during a ceremony, which included fellow New York-based celebs Tina Fey, Woody Allen and Mariska Hargitay, at NYC's St. Patrick's Old Cathedral. The reception was held at the Kimmel Center at New York University, where guests dined on gril led chicken and pan-seared halibut. The newlyweds dance to "Contigo" by Mexican singer Luis Miguel.

"I've dated a lot of people since my divorce, and have thought a lot about what I wanted and what I wanted to do," Baldwin, who went through a notoriously messy divorce with ex-wife Kim Basinger, explained in the couple's July 1 New York Times wedding announcement. "I thought about it too much, I suppose. I wasn't really ready to take that chance and to act until I met Hilaria."

Anne Hathaway Dazzles in Slinky Gold Gown

Anne Hathaway

After stealing the show in a gorgeous low-cut Prabal Gurung dress in NYC on Monday, Anne Hathaway has opted for yet another slinky dress at The Dark Knight Rises premiere in London on Wednesday.

Hathaway, 29, hit the red carpet in a dazzling gold Gucci halter gown with plunging armholes that dipped down to the top of her hip, exposing her pin-thin bod. So as not to take away from the number's neckline, adorned with fake flowers and beads, the actress opted for tiny Tiffany & Co. studs and satin Casadei heels.

Before jetting off for her flick's European premiere, the actress, who was dressed in low-key threads that helped her blend in with commuters, packed on some PDA with her fiance, Adam Shulman, during an NYC subway ride on Tuesday.

Prior to her major makeover and slimdown to portray dying prostitute Fantine in Les Miserables, Hathaway was hard at work whittling her waist for The Dark Knight Rises.

"I just started to do Bikram yoga," she told Chelsea Handler in August 2011 during an episode of Chelsea Lately. "And right now, I'm, like, living on kale and dust. "The catsuit's unforgiving, man. It takes three of us [to get me into it]."

Who Wore It Best: Kim Kardashian or Rihanna?

Where has Kim Kardashian been? In Rihanna's closet!

On Friday, the reality star stepped out in the same navy blue Givenchy dress that the "We Found Love" singer wore in NYC exactly one week before.

VOTE: Who Wore It Best, Kim Kardashian Edition

Kardashian, 31, paired the curve-hugging number with Christian Louboutin python heels and her "Mason <3's Penelope" nameplate necklace by Jennifer Meyer, which was a gift to her and her sisters Kendall and Kylie Jenner from mom Kris Jenner. (Sister Kourtney Kardashian welcomed baby No. 2, Penelope Scotland Disick, into the world on July 8.)

The Givenchy dress was a rather conservative choice for Rihanna, 24, who always manages to turn heads with her nipple-flashing, midriff-baring street wear. The Grammy-winning artist topped off her look with gold necklaces and matching metallic heels.

As it happens, Rihanna is a longtime pal and former protege of Jay-Z, whose best friend and collaborator, Kanye West, has been dating Kim for several months.

Whoa! See Kate Middleton's Photoshopped Marie Claire South Africa Cover

Kate Middleton illustrated on the cover of the August 2012 Marie Claire, South Africa.

What's a magazine dying to put Kate Middleton on its cover to do? That's easy -- Photoshop away.

There's no doubt that Middleton, 30, would be a major get for a fashion mag -- reportedly, both British and American Vogue have tried, unsuccessfully, to get the royal to agree to a shoot. So when it came time to settle on a cover star for their August issue, Marie Claire South Africa took matters into their own hands by photoshopping an image of Prince William's love.

Unlike other Duchess Kate photoshop missteps, Marie Claire SA's cover was expressly designed to look as if the future Queen of England had struck a pose for the mag while rocking threads by famed South African designer Clive Rundle.

Pin-Thin Anne Hathaway Wears Plunging White Gown at Dark Knight Rises Premiere

Actress Anne Hathaway attends the "The Dark Knight Rises" World Premiere at AMC Lincoln Square Theater on July 16, 2012 in New York City.

After stepping out in several black Dolce & Gabbana numbers last week, Anne Hathaway switched up her look for the premiere of The Dark Knight Rises in NYC on Monday for an angelic, yet totally sexy, white dress.

The 29-year-old actress showed off her skinny frame in Prabal Gurung's hand-draped V-neck gown that featured an exposed crystal bodice, peplum waist, sprawling train and a plunging back. The creation is from the designer's Resort 2013 collection.

The star kept things simple in terms of accessories, with tiny diamond stud earrings and a slim diamond tennis bracelet, both by Kwiat. Her giant platinum Kwiat engagement ring, which weighs in at 6 carats and worth approximately $150,000 according to jewelry expert Michael O'Connor, from fiance Adam Shulman topped off her look. (The pair announced their engagement in November 2011 after dating for almost three years.)

Hathaway's makeup was done in her signature style -- luminous skin, bold brows and lined eyes finished off with a bold lip color -- while her recently cropped pixie cut was swept to the side.

Last week during her appearance on Live! With Kelly, the actress opened up about the traumatic experience she had while cutting off her hair for her role as dying prostitute Fantine in Les Miserables.

"I wasn't expecting it to be a big deal. It was my idea to do it, since it was something the character did," she explained to host Kelly Ripa about undergoing her boyish makeover, "[But then] I realized I couldn't take it back. [I was] a mental patient level of crying... I was inconsolable."

2. Simple Shoes

"For running around town -- ditch the heel, seriously! Rock it out biker style and if you are running late you can actually run without a potentially b roken leg! I love these Jimmy Choos' Biker Boots."

3. Sexy Swimsuits

"If there is ever an opportunity to go for a quick dip, I'm there! To save time, you can slip on a super cool one-piece swimming costume and have your shorts on over the top. When we were shooting for Seafolly I fell in love with a strapless orange one-piece. Looks awesome with any kind of colored denim, too."

4. Stylish Headwear

"I rarely leave the house without a hat. If I'm somewhere hot they keep me cool and if it's somewhere cool they keep me warm! One of my all-time classic favorites is the Havana Panama hat. Even better when bought in Ecuador!"

5. Cool Sunnies

"Tired eyes? Paparazzi? Stubborn makeup? No problem! Disguise tired eyes or just hide away from the world with a pair of sunglasses. I never leave the house without a pair. You can get some fun shapes to mix up your looks or go back to yo ur classic aviator or Wayfarer. Whatever you wear should make you feel good!

AnnaLynne McCord Turns 25: See the 90210 Cast's Best Looks!

Jessica Lowndes, Shenae Grimes, Jessica Stroup, AnnaLynne McCord

The leading ladies of 90210 are used to wearing skimpy bikinis and tight dresses on their hit CW series, but in real life, AnnaLynne McCord, Jessica Stroup, Shenae Grimes and Jessica Lowndes are far less flashy.

McCord -- who celebrates her 25th birthday July 16 -- has shown off her slender shape in edgy designs by Rock & Republic, Kimberly Ovitz and D&G, among others. "I kind of want Hollywood and fashion to make a change," the actress told Us Weekly earlier this year. "I'd love to see class make a comeback."

Stroup, 25, favors more feminine looks by Brian Reyes and Jason Wu, while Lowndes, 23, chooses bold outfits from designers like Diane von Furstenberg and Matthew Williamson.

As for Grimes, 22? Though she once donned elegant ensembles by Fendi, Sass & Bide and Phillip Lim, she now prefers to wear grungier, more vintage pieces. "Me and the girls on the show have different styles," she explained to Us in December.

Along with her adorable, vibrant photos, Michele will star in her first TV commercial for Kohl's' exclusive clothing and shoes line.

"The idea behind the commercial is very cute -- I'm walking down the street, pass by a Kohl's store and this amazing pair of Candie's shoes in the window catch my eye," the 25-year-old says in a release. "Well, there just so happens to be a stock boy working in the window, and while I'm staring at the shoes, falling in love with them, he thinks I'm looking and falling in love with him, but girls love their shoes so…"

She may have fooled the stock boy, but she isn’t fooling anyone with her current, real-life boyfriend, Glee costar Cory Monteith -- the pair took their romance public in February 2012.

Michele made her Candie's girl debut back in January and follows in the footsteps of former brand spokesmodels Vanessa Hudgens, Hayden Pan ettiere, Fergie and Britney Spears.

Jessica Biel Flashes Legs, Engagement Ring in Sexy Mini-Dress at ESPYs

Jessica Biel

JT's girl and Tebow!

Jessica Biel was the first presenter of the night at Wednesday's ESPY Awards at the Nokia Theatre in Los Angeles. And her onstage companion to present the Best Breakthrough Athlete Award (to Jeremy Lin) wasn't fiance Justin Timberlake -- it was Tim Tebow!

The New Year's Eve actress, 30, looked demurely sexy in a white mini-dress with a fitted top and a full skirt, wearing her hair in a sporty ponytail. Her fave part of the ensemble, evidently, were her white pumps with eye-catching yellow neon heels.

"I know the ?#espys? are about sports and stuff but LOOK AT MY SHOES!!!" Biel wrote on Twitter.

Earlier in the day, the former Seventh Heaven star (expected to tie the knot with Timberlake, 31, later this year) admitted via Twitter she worried about being pious enough for deeply religious (and virginal!) New York Jets player Tebow, 24.< /p>

"Dear God, please don't let me swear in front of @timtebow at the ?#espys? tonight when we present. Love, Jess," Biel wrote.

Katie Holmes Wears Sexy, Tight Leather Pants, Heels for Dinner With Pal

Katie Holmes

Single and sexy in the city!

Katie Holmes' new life as a single, 33-year-old mom in Manhattan is off to a very stylish start. On Wednesday night, after spending the day with daughter Suri, 6, and her mother, Kathy, at the Central Park Zoo, Tom Cruise's ex switched from jeans and T-shirt into sleeker evening attire -- showing off her long, lean legs in tight black leather pants and sexy high heels, plus a flirty cream blouse and jacket.

With Suri presumably back at home at the new $12,500-a-month Chelsea apartment Holmes recently leased, the actress (flanked by bodyguards) headed to dinner with a friend.

About a month and a half before she filed for divorce from Cruise, 50, Holmes dropped massive hints about reinventing herself and her life.

"I always felt like a little girl before," she told ELLE magazine. "I didn't even know what sexy was."

She added: "Anytime you feel good abou t yourself, you embody sexiness. It's almost like a power or a confidence or a secret."

On Monday, Holmes and Cruise announced that they'd settled their split; sources confirmed to Us Weekly that Holmes was granted full custody of Suri.

"She is very happy," a source told Us. "She can move on and finally live her life."

On Wednesday, the newly single Holmes -- who reached a speedy settlement on Monday in her divorce from Tom Cruise -- headed out to a dinner in NYC with pals, rocking tight leather pants, black-and-nude pumps, and an off-white blouse and jacket.
