The Duchess Of Cambridge has once again followed in her late mother-in-law Princess Diana's footsteps. The very pregnant royal was in Southampton yesterday to officially name the new 'Royal Princess' cruise ship, which marks her last solo engagement before the baby arrives. She got into the spirt of the event and smashed a bottle of champagne the liner's hull and attended a ceremony onboard. Almost 30 years ago Princess Diana attended a similar ceremony when she named the ship's predecessor. For that occasion Diana opted for a red dress with black pussybow detail, while opted Catherine to cover up in a 'Dalmatian mac' by Hobbs.

Rain or shine, Amy Adams looked elegant and demure at her London premiere of The Man of Steel. Adams, wearing Valentino, did not let the soggy weather spoil one bit of her look. She looked like a fashion ballerina with the big skirt, strapless bodice and hair tied in a chignon. I love the ladylike silhouette and I love her styling.

Va va va voom! I have never seen Emmy Rossum look so Old Hollywodd glamour before and I love it! I think she should always wear red going forward - it looks amazing on her. I was not surprised to learn this dress was designed by Naeem Khan. It has his expert tailoring and beading with just a touch of glitz.

The Tony Awards unfortunately have yet to catch up with the Oscars when it comes to big fashion. But there are always a few women who know how to do it up. Jane Krakowski, I love you! You looked like a silver goddess in Escade Sunday night at the 2013 Tony Awards. Have I seen this type of look on you before? Yes. Do I love it it? YES!

Miranda Kerr is the latest to rock the yellow lace trend. If you recall there has been an influx of yellow all over the red carpet and also into daytime dresses. Kim Kardashian was spotted wearing the same yellow lace peplum dress by Stella McCarteny as Charlize Theron. And another yellow lace, this one by Michael Kors, popped up on Olivia Munn at Time Magazine's 100 Most Influential People in the World Gala. Other celebs bringing the sunny hue to events recently include Kerry Washington, Jessica Chastain and Lauren Conrad.

Ladies and gentleman she's back and better than ever! Angelina celebrated her 38th birthday in Berlin at the World War Z premiere with Brad Pitt. The actress looked stunning in a Ralph & Russo peplum dress with a gold belt. I love the crisp white with metallic detail of the belt and the stiff peplum is a nice change to the more feminine versions we've seen a lot of recently.

It's been too long since I featured a Kardashian sister as my Fashion Photo of the Day. You know how I adore a good Kardashian photo! I can't help myself, these girls know how to work fashion and the press. I am not ashamed by my love for them, I think they are smart, beautiful and very savvy business women. What's not to love? And my favorite sister (sorry Kim and Kourt), Khloe, looked amazing this week flaunting her slimmer and sleeker figure on her Instagram page.

Naomi Watts kept things very classy at the Up2Us Inaugural Gala in New York. Watts wore a textured and leather ensemble by Burberry that is definitely more fall than summer but you have to stay ten steps ahead in the world of fashion, right? There are so many great elements to this look but what I love most of all is how effortlessly cool Watts look while wearing something so chic.

The 2013 CFDA Fashion Awards took place last night at Alice Tully Hall in New York's iconic Lincoln Center. The annual event recognizes outstanding contributions made to American fashion by individuals from all areas of the industry and related arts. Awards were given for excellence in womenswear, menswear, and accessories in addition to excellence in journalism, creative vision, and lifetime achievement.

Emma Watson's fashion choices always keep me guessing and I love it. Unlike other young starlets, she hasn't gotten stuck in a pattern of dressing in a predictable way so that when she wears something a little bold or more daring, it never comes across like she's trying too hard. From day one Watson has said she loves fashion and she clearly loves to experiement with it all - from feminine to sexy to bold to retro to classic.

SJP, what happened? I am so very very confused by this look I don't even know what to say or where to begin. Never in my wildest dreams did I think SJP would fall under the 'What Was She Thinking' headline. But alas, here we are. The one positive I can make is that I commend her for wearing something a little more subdued for an event celebrating artists and writers, but that's a stretch. This dress, shockingly by Zac Posen, is a little too down-home-on-the-prairie for my taste and the colors are a kind of wash. Maybe it's better in person?

J. Lo strutted her stuff to awaiting fans after her controversial Britain's Got Talent performance in London on Thursday. Many thought her performance was a bit too racey for television. The FCC said that it has “received complaints, which we are currently assessing but not investigating at the moment.”

Jessica Szohr looked like she walked straight out of The Great Gatsby film the other night at the premiere of The Intern. Szohr, wearing Haute Hippie, was full on 1920's flapper from head to toe complete with Chanel pumps. I do love this look on her - it's fresh, it's young, it's fun. I just think it would have been awesome at The Great Gatsby premiere as opposed to a few weeks later.

Rose Byrne was a vision in pale pink at the premiere of The Internship in Los Angeles. I love this soft and delicate dress on her and I was surprised to find out it was designed by Emilio Pucci. I don't usually think of Pucci as designing super feminine and flirty dresses. Bold prints and sexy? Yes. Soft and lacey? No. The silhouette and short hemline is definitely Pucci, but the rest dress reminds me of Miu Miu. That being said, I love it!

In honor of the release of the new season of Arrested Development on Netflex, I thought I would feature the beautiful and talented Portia de Rossi. I love everything about this look she wore to the Los Angeles Confidential Magazine Cover party. For me she nailed it from head to toe effortlessly in a Rokasanda Ilincic blue dress.

Is it me or does Nicole Kidman not look as beautiful as she normally looks here? Nicole! What is going on? And what's so upsetting is that this look had soo much potential but it went wrong in two key areas: the hair and the dress. I cannot believe I don't like a dress designed by Chanel but let me clarify.

Clearly Milla Jovovich has not lost her touch. She knows how to work both a dress and the camera at every opportunity. I love this Armani dress she wore at the Cannes Film Festival. But it's not just the dress I love. It's her confidence and elegance and how she holds herself that really completes the look. But a great dress is always a good place to start.

TV host and fashion stylist Louise Roe is known for her sartorial choices on and off the red carpet. The 2013 amfAR Cinema Against AIDS Gala red carpet was no exception for Roe who made quite the statement when she arrived on wearing a stunning gown from Randa Salamoun. I am not suprised she commanded the attention of the cameras in the sleeveless sheath with a bold printed pattern. I also love the color combination of red and purple. It's unexpected and very regal.

One of the many perks of being the face of a high end fashion house is that you never have to wonder, 'What am I going to wear?' Marion Cotillard once again looked ravishing in what I can only guess is a custom Christian Dior creation. When Dior dresses Cotillard they always suprise me a little with their playfulness and edge. I know they can do drama and I know they can do glamour, but lately they have been showcasing some chic whimsy without sacrificing elegance.
