The Bare Skinny

Cameron Diaz wowed me on the red carpet in her champagne Oscar De La Renta gown covered in paillettes. Everything about this look is perfect!

Emma Watson, in my opinion was one of the Best Dressed of the night. She is workign this Monique Lhuillier sheath dress and I like it. You can tell she made some modifications. The hem is shorter and there is more detail around the neck. She looks gorgeous!

Leighton Meester wore a white and black pin striped dress from th Louis Vuitton Resort 2010 collection. She looks so adorable in this dress but I actually prefer the extra frills and the length on the runway model. Leighton added Brian Atwood “Zenith” pumps to complete her look.

I love the color combination of Audrina Patridge’s purple Zuhair Murad Spring 2009 dress and her torquoise Courtney Crawford pumps ($149). The “Sorority Row” actress is never afraid of color and she shines on the red carpet.

Kim Kardashian looked great! I have to get used to the blond locks because her dark hair was so beautiful bust she’s working it! Homegirl has been working out too! Kim wore a white Stella McCartney dress from the spring 2009 collection with Gucci Iman Triple Buckle sandals.

Fergie is always a standout on the red carpet and she didn’t disappoint wearing a dress from the Marc Jacobs 2010 collection with multi-colored sequins. I have no idea what kind of shoes she wore but I will find out. They’re hot!

I can’t tell if Vanessa Hudgens Christian Dior dress is blue or an eggplant color. Anyway it’s hot!The scalloped edging around the neckline really gives this dress some character. The Bandslam actress added sued Brian Atwood pumps. I would have went for strappy sandals but she still looks cute!

I heard Dane Cook told her to keep her clothes on while he was accepting his award. I so hope they don’t cut that part out!

Oh Miley….There is too much going on here. The Haute Hippie sequin mini skirt ($295) is a little too short for my taste. But Miley Cyrus is like 100 years younger than me so what do I know? She added a plain white Hanes tank and a lot of necklaces.

This look doesn’t do much for her image and I also saw pics from the Teen Choice Awards of her dancing on a pole.

Jordin Sparks can do no wrong in my book! Her personality is just so bubbly. The Battlefield singer wore a marina blue strapless bustier dress from Bebe. The orange clutch and crisscross heels work perfectly.

Cameron Diaz kept it simple and sexy wearing an Alexander Mcqueen Asymmetric Zip Dress which you can purchase at Neiman Marcus for $1,845. Her body is ridiculous! I love how she added a pop of color with her blue shoes.

Brenda Song has to be about 25 years old but she manages to look young and fresh on the red carpet. For teh Teen Choice Awards the actress wore an Alexander Wang Tencil Rib Shirtdress ($395) with sandals.

I cleaned and rearranged my closet last weekend to see if I had any colorful hidden gems because I found that my daily wardrobe consisted of either black or denim. Outside of a few printed scarfs and neon clutches my closet looked pretty *blah*. So of course I went where all of America goes when they need inspiration…the internet…lol. I found a few celebrities who added color to their outfits and I changed the colors to black or white just so I could see how color can change the whole look of your outfit. My Photoshop skills might be a little suspect but take a look…

Cameron Diaz wore a white Oscar De la Renta dress when she received her star on the Walk of Fame. I like how she added her pop of color with the red belt and red shoes. It totally adds personality to dress and it matches her mood. So i changed the accessories to black. The lack and white is not bad but it’s not as exciting.

Aubrey O’Day wore this cobalt blue Temperley London dress to the “Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen” LA premiere and she definitely stood out on the red carpet. This is a great color for her and it brings out the color in her eyes. When I changed it to black, she just looked normal

Blake Lively was one of my favorites at the CFDA Awards. This fuschia Michael Kors strapless dress looks amazing on her and I couldn’t imagine it being in any other color except maybe turquoise. So I tried it in white. Ok I know it looks a little silverish white but lets pretend . It doesn’t hold a candle to the fuschia.

Jennifer Love Hewitt is such a girly girl and I love that about her. She was recently spotted going to a Bar Mitzvah in Encino wearing a brown dress. She added a baby blue hat that added a small pop of color but worked so well with her outfit. Here she is with the baby blue hat and if she had worn a hat that matched her dress.

Elena Ballesteros attended the “Los Abrazos Rotos” premiere in Madrid, Spain in the simplest, yet hottest outfit. She wore a Chanel jacket with a white tee, leather legging and black heels. Her red clutch really brought out the outfit. I changed the clutch to gray (black was blending in too much with the leggings and background) and immediately noticed the muted change.

Even if you’rethe most neutral chick on the planet, don’t be afraid to add some color to your outfits. Try bold scarves, statement jewelry, bright colored shoes or eye catching purses. It will add add personality and originality to otherwise plain-jane outfits.

A very skinny Cameron Diaz walked the red carpet in a pink asymmetrical Chanel Fall 2008 Couture gown. The dress was gathered in the back which made the front look unnecessary.

Cameron Diaz, sporting an Alexander Mcqueen cowlneck sweater and coat, looked effortlessly chic while hailing a taxi in New York. This picture looks as if it was taken from a magazine. Especially with her arm perfectly placed in the air with the YSL Tribute Tote hanging from it.

Yoana Baraschi is one of Hollywood’s hottest go to designers. You might not know her name but you’ve seen her clothes on A listers such as, Paris Hilton, Hilary Duff, Shenae Grimes and Sienna Miller. I luvs her feminine and flirty designs and her impeccably crafted dresses. Make sure you check her out!

Hilary Duff is wearing a cream jeweled mini dress.

Vanessa Minillo looks ultra sexy in the Lack Tie Bustier Dress. The dress has ribbon detail along the bottom and the bodice with adjustable straps.

Paris Hilton is wearing the turquoise version of the 70’s Dance Fever Dress from the Holiday collection. 

Shenae Grimes is wearing the 70’s Abstract Kimono in black and white. The silk dress comes with a removable sash. Shenae added her own belt.

Cameron Diaz, who looks great in everything she wears, arrived at the Target presents AFI Night at the Movies, casual but still fab. She wore basically just a pair of Seven for all Mankind jeans and a button-down shirt. Of course she amped up the ensemble with a bronze Gucci purse, red strappy sandals, Kara Ross peacock earrings and to polish off the look, red lipstick.
