Daily Style Crush: Hilary Duff in Isabel Marant


Isabel Marant is the mystery designer behind Cheryl Cole’s trousers of the same print; it was originally thought they were a tribute to Simon Cowell and the X Factor, but it turns out it’s just a happy coincidence. 

As much as we adore Cheryl Cole and her enviable figure, we prefer the dress to the trousers and we completely love how the glowing mummy-to-be Hilary Duff accessorised it. We love the coral coloured Vanessa Bruno blazer on Hilary just as much as we did when it adorned Rachel Bilson. Perfect styling, Hilary!

Daily Style Crush: Stacey Solomon at the Spirit of London Awards



She may have Essex-chic down to a tee but we love her for it. Sure she’s a tad over-bronzed but we can’t deny that she looks beautiful and we strangely love her dress. Maybe only Stacey Solomon can pull it off though – unless another celeb comes out and gives it a go, we will never know. But for now, Miss Stacey S is our style crush of the day, just because she is always herself and looks gorgeous in the process!

Daily Style Crush: Lady McCartney Nancy Shevell in Stella McCartney



Even though we were majorly crushing on all the outfits worn by the X Factor judges this weekend, we have to say that Nancy Shevell’s bridal outfit pipped them to the post ever so slightly. And how nice is it that Stella McCartney designed and custom-made her step-mum’s wedding outfit as well as her father’s? The happy couple looked blissfully happy as they emerged from Marylebone Town Hall in London after having a low-key wedding ceremony and we wish them a lifetime of happiness together!

Daily Style Crush: Jayma Mays in Rachel Zoe and ASOS


Yes, we know we've had two Glee style crushes in just as many days, but can you blame us? We are currently on Glee overload after having it back in our lives again! Jayma Mays looks super-duper cute in her designer/high street mishmash ensemble, doesn't she? We've been toying with the idea of purchasing that ASOS horse-print jumper (or a very similar one) for a while now, but Jayma has persuaded us to definitely go for it! Loving the Rachel Zoe jacket as well - Jayma's styling was perfect (although we don't like the hair that much…sorry, J)

Daily Style Crush: Lea Michele in ASOS


Yep, that's right, Lea Michele is rocking the red carpet in good old high street favourite, ASOS. Notice how we've left out the word 'dress'? Well, that's because strictly and very literally speaking, Lea didn't wear a dress - it was a top. Not a tunic - a top.

There are no ifs or buts about it, Lea Michele either forgot to put on trousers or purposely wore a top as a dress. Usually we wouldn't condone this but funnily enough, Lea looks the furthest thing from trashy. Maybe it's because she's so petite and just screams good clean wholesome fun she can get away with it? Who knows…it makes our heads hurt to think about it. Don't follow her lead though, unless you're equally as petite or very, very brave.

Daily Style Crush: Leighton Meester in Christian Dior


Aww…it's a bit weird seeing Leighton Meester without a cute Blair Waldorf style head accessory but she looks just as gorgeous and stylish without one. Loving the fringe (or "bangs" as our reader across the pond say) too - we love a good fringe and appreciate that not everyone can rock one; Leighton isn't one of those unlucky people though as you can clearly tell.

LM is the perfect model for this Christian Dior dress; the style sums up everything we love about the Gossip Girl actress. The triple bow Louis Vuitton pumps add to the cutesy look so kudos to whoever was in charge of accessories!

Daily Style Crush: Rihanna in Jeremy Scott



Whilst we wouldn't condone wearing this outfit down Oxford Street (ripped stockings and all) we think Rihanna looks amazing in it! We did wonder who would wear the ensemble when we saw it make its very recent debut on the Spring/Summer 2012 runway and now our question has been answered. Very few celebs would be able to pull it off - we imagine Katy Perry would also look smashing in it; maybe they should custom-make her a latex one to mix it up a little? In case you're wondering, Rihanna wasn't just casually walking around the street looking like this, she was in fact on the set of her music video for new single We Found Love. Can't wait to see it!

Daily Style Crush: Crystal Renn in Zac Posen Resort


Ridiculous skinniness for a 'plus size' model aside, Crystal Renn looks as shimmering and glittering as the dress she wore to the opening night performance of Anna Bolena in New York last night. We absolutely love how she let her Zac Posen Resort 2012 gown speak for itself and didn't add any other accessories to it - apart from a fierce, fresh lick of red lippy. We also appreciate her altered, more conservative neckline too.

Daily Style Crush: Hailee Steinfeld in Versace Resort


The Teen Vogue Young Hollywood Party last week was attended by some of the hottest rising stars in Tinsel Town. Cute next generation actresses turned up in even cuter (and ever-so stylish) dresses so we've been struggling to pick a favourite look as so many stood out for us.

Little Hailee Steinfeld has blossomed into a style princess practically overnight grabbing the attention of Miu Miu along the way (they snapped her up to front their recent campaigns just in cast anyone forgot) so we're not the least bit surprised with her flourishing on the red carpet. Her asymmetrical Versace Resort 2012 dress wouldn't look great on everyone, but on Hailee, it's perfection. We like how she took inspiration from the catwalk and went with yellow accessories - bright and beautiful!

Daily Style Crush: Sonam Kapoor in Prabal Gurung


I LOVE this look from the Prabal Gurung Resort 2012 collection and have been waiting (and praying) for a well-known face to step out in it! I've been curious to see where, when and how it will be worn and of course, by whom. Gorgeous Indian actress Sonam Kapoor wasn't the first on my list of expected stars, but I'm thrilled she decided to wear it to the Mausam premiere in Mumbai. I kind of anticipated someone taller with a super-model's figure to wear it, to give it its full potential height-wise and silhouette-wise but strangely enough, Sonam works it pretty flawlessly! The colours are beautiful on her, so hopefully this will give her a boost to step onto the red carpet in brighter, more daring numbers, because she can definitely pull it off if this outing is anything to go by.

Daily Style Crush: Beyonce in Roberto Cavalli


There's definitely no sign of Beyonce slowing down even though she currently has a little person growing inside of her. We didn't really expect Ms Knowles to step out in the loose trackies as soon as she revealed her pregnancy to the world though, but we do hope she takes a good rest in the later stages. Beyonce stunned the crowd in New York last night as she launched her brand new perfume 'Pulse' in a mega-mii Roberto Cavalli tunic and jacket. Loving the side plait as well; so chic!

Daily Style Crush: Lea Michele in Michael Kors


You wouldn't think this was the image of a woman who has just gone through a break-up with a long-term boyfriend. Lea Michele wowed the crowd in this hot pink Michael Kors sixties inspired number just hours after announcing that she and Theo Stockman had called their relationship quits. Lea said the split was amicable and you can kind of tell as that definitely isn't the face of a broken woman. Lea attended the Michael Kors luncheon for the Saban Free Clinic in Beverley Hills yesterday, looking every inch the trend-setting fashionista she is fast becoming. We adore Lea and are literately counting down the hours until the premiere of season three of Glee tonight!

Daily Style Crush: Nicole Scherzinger in Randi Rahm


Scherzy was in London just a few days ago performing her heart out for the opening of the brand new Westfield in Stratford, but she jetted back to America for the world premiere of the US X Factor in Hollywood on Wednesday night. Nicole Scherzinger looked absolutely breathtaking in a floor-length Randi Rahm halter-neck open back dress. We absolutely loved her understated and effortless fishtail plait too - I personally think an up-do would have made the look far too formal for the occasion so she made the perfect choice.

Daily Style Crush: Olivia Wilde in Marchesa


Wow. We don't even think Greek goddesses would expect to look this good! Olivia Wilde went for a flowing embellished Grecian Marchesa gown at the premiere of her new flick 'Butter' at the Toronto Film Festival and totally wowed the crowd. Ok, it might not be everyone's cup of tea and may be a tad OTT, but we absolutely adore it!

There isn't anything we don't love about this look - the hair was perfect; not too fussy, away from her face and ultra contemporary and glamorous. Not everyone would be able to pull off this Marchesa dress - some might get lost in it and others would look frumpy and sack-like, but Olivia just looks flawless.

Daily Style Crush: Kim Kardashian in Vera Wang


No, not one of her three custom made wedding dresses, a different one. How many Vera Wang gowns does one lady own? (We say through very gritted teeth!) Kim Kardashian and her enviable curves attended Vera Wang's Spring/Summer 2012 showing at New York Fashion Week in this figure hugging blue number by the designer in question. KK admired the show from the front row (naturally) and looked every inch the rising fashionista.

Daily Style Crush: Angelina Jolie in Westwood and Vuitton


We see her walking around in London in 'casual' gear with her brood and think she's still effortlessly beautiful. Then we forget just how gorgeous Angelina Jolie can get when she puts even an ounce more effort than usual in…take this look for example, it's still imprinted in our heads from last Friday.

Ange is supporting almost-but-not-quite-hubby Brad in his movie, Moneyball, looking every inch his leading lady. We just had to use a picture of the two of them, you have to when a couple just looks THAT good! The cut of the floor-length Vivienne Westwood dress is perfect for Angelina's figure as it hugs her current curves and gives the illusion of even more. Plus, only the Jolie can pull off wearing a Louis Vuitton kinky handcuff clutch bag and make it look classy.

Daily Style Crush: Demi Lovato at the Alma Awards


We are inundated with potential and worthy style crushes for the foreseeable future thanks to all the glamorous celeb appearances at New York Fashion Week but we are going with someone who attended a totally different event altogether. Demi Lovato turned up at the Alma awards where she not only put on a beautiful performance, but also won one of the awards herself. The nude Maria Lucia Hohan gown she wore on the red carpet was stunning to say the least - she looked like a bronzed Greek goddess and we can't flaw a single thing. Hair, make-up, accessories - she's perfected it all!

Daily Style Crush: Amber Le Bon in Jonathan Saunders


Amber Le Bon attended the Diesel Loverdose fragrance launch party in London in a red and black Jonathan Saunders dress from the Autumn/Winter 2011 catwalk. She was bang on-trend in the dress stakes but also in the hair stakes as she had a very 'now' and youthful hair accessory: pink streaks. Dip dying is making a come-back, as is pink hair courtesy of Katy Perry and Glee's Dianna Agron so Amber blended the two trends into one with her very stylish look. 

Sometimes celebs can look older than their years in a bid to look classy (which we obviously prefer to the trashy look) but Amber avoided that with her style choices. Loving the wine colour right now, let's hope it gets translated into the High Street as well so we can stock up.

Daily Style Crush: Kourtney Kardashian in Jumpsuits



I've bought a lot of jumpsuits/playsuits this summer, but I have more jumpsuits than there have been sunny days so I haven't managed to wear them all. I worry that they'll be the wrong side of "so last season" next summer and also worry I'll catch pneumonia if I decide to ignore the weather. Kourtney Kardashian however, proves that it's possible to outsmart the weather by wearing hers with tights - smart move.

Still staying in the jumpsuit family, is the actual jumpsuit (technically the term used for the longer legged ones as oppose to shorter legged 'playsuits' but 'jumpsuits' is the generic term for them now) as seen on Kourtney. She may be the shortest one of the Kardashian family but you wouldn't think it. Look how long her legs seem courtesy of the jumpsuit….gorgeous. Kourtney's shown us that there are multiple ways of working the jumpsuit and she's done so effortlessly.

Daily Style Crush: Charlize Theron in Roland Mouret



We're on a bit of a Charlize Theron high after being left speechless at her latest Dior J'adore commercial and this look didn't let us down. The Hollywood babe took to a drizzly red carpet in London (where else?!) for the GQ Men of the Year awards but clearly it was all about the women - namely her! Although she didn't bring the sun with her, Charlize definitely brought the glamour in her Roland Mouret number fresh from their A/W 2011 catwalk. Whoever said you have to be in a dress to exude glamour and sophistication simply needs to take one look at Charlize and frantically eat their words. She got everything right; adapting the catwalk ensemble to suit her and accessorising flawlessly.
