Emma Stone has been nailing her fashion for the media tour of The Amazing Spider-Man 2, but I think this pale blush Prada dress takes the cake. Blush pink has been everywhere, especially in the bridal world (Jessica Biel, Anne Hathaway), and at the Oscars this year we also saw a lot of nudes and blush tones. I am so thrilled to see this trend continue. I will never forget something I heard Rachel Zoe said once on the Zoe Report about a woman showing how her true confidence in a blush toned dress and I really agree. The color is very feminine but strong in it's vulnerability.

Black and white is everywhere right now. It was so 'in' last spring and it seems the trend (which is really a classic combination) isn't going anywhere soon. Yesterday's Fashion Photo featured a black and white ensemble with a spash of red, and today's is like seeing double. Darby Stanchfield looked like the belle of the ball in a black and white outfit by Sachin + Babi at the Television Academy Foundation's 35th Annual College Television Awards Gala.

Lake Bell has so much going on this seemingly simple ensemble. She took the basics - black, white and a splash of color - and mixed and matched texture and patterns to create a chic, fun and flirty outfit that is perfect for spring. She started off with a great white top and as my Mom always says, you can never have too many white tops. She paired it with a black and white, embroidered floral skirt from Chloe Resort 2014 collection. The skirt is very feminine but feels modern with the geometric flower shapes.

When I grow up can I be Kiernan Shipka? Her sense of style gets more and more refined as she matures. I feel like I am watching a younger Emma Watson blossom before our eyes. Shipka always dresses for her body, wears something age appropriate but continues to try new things. And she always looks amazing!

It's been a while but I am back just in time for not one, not two but three outfits worn by Kate Middleton in one day. Yes, you read that correctly, three. I sometimes have trouble enough creating one cute outfit when I am sleepy! The Duchess started off Easter Sunday in a pale lilac suit by Alexander McQueen and her go brand - L.K. Bennett - pumps. She was a vision in springy pastels.

Demi Lovato went for a rocker-chic look the other night on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon. The singer debut a new, partially shaved hair style with a great gold jacket over and all black ensemble. She accessorized with the bold Graduated Alchemia Collar from Charles Albert and a Gold Wrap Bangle from MAKKO.

My love for jumpsuits knows no bounds. Lake Bell recently wore a black jumpsuit from Stella McCartney's pre-fall 2014 collection and I am officially obsessed and need it in my closet yesterday. Why do I love jumpsuits so much? They are versatile, sexy, classic, chic, comfortable and a great dress alternative. Plus, they are always in and they are effortless.

I am so glad this winter is almost over, not only because I am so ready for some warm weather, but because I find it impossible to look good in the cold weather. I am not one who has successfully mastered the 'winter chic' look with the proper accessories. I find that when it's 20 degrees out function always beats fashion. And when I see girls still opting for fashion I am always laughing to myself while secretly jealous. Fashion is pain, right?

I sort of wish Kristen Bell wore this dress to the Oscars Sunday night and not just to the Vanity Fair after party. I really liked her first dress but I love this dress. To me it makes more of a statement and has a lot more drama. I get why she wore the soft Roberto Cavalli dress to the Oscars. It was a little fancier and as she said on the red carpet, reminded her of Frozen. And she really did look very beautiful. But in a sea of soft, sequined dresses that night, she kind of just blended in, as did quite a few stars. But this red dress, wow!

I know a lot of the fashion commentators on TV say not to wear black on the carpet, that if can come off a little safe, boring, etc. But this Christian Dior gown is anything but safe or boring. And I always maintain that there is nothing more classic than a perfectly fitted black dress. Charlize Theron was one of my absolute favorites Sunday night. This dress fit her so perfectly and the design is wonderful twist on a chic silhouette.

When I saw Kate Hudson hit the carpet during last night's red carpet arrivals at the 86th Annual Academy Awards I gasped. She literally took my breath away with her beauty! If you were to look up 'Hollywood Glamour' in the dictionary I am pretty confident this picture would be there. There is magic happening in this look that is so hard to get right. It is that perfect combination of style, beauty, design and that one element that pushes it over the edge.

Last night was the night all fashionistas look forward to - the Academy Awards! It is not only a night to celebrate the year's film achievements but it has become a major night for fashion and glamour. And for those at us at home, we get to watch all afternoon as the stars arrive on the carpet and take in one beautiful dress after another and take to the internet with our opinions of best dressed.

Miranda Kerr channeled Audrey Hepburn in a tea length, black H&M dress at the H&M A/W 2014 show during Paris Fashion Week. She looked so beautiful and demure and just like a little doll. The dress itself is a classic and every girl should own something like this. I love when H&M creates a dress like this - it is so chic and easy to wear and could easily be from a high end designer.

I always love seeing Chloe Sevigny on the carpet. Her quirky style always keeps me on my toes and just when I think I've figured her out, she goes and wears a LBD! But this is Chloe Sevigny after all so her version of an LBD does have a fun twist! Are you loving the huge white petticoat sticking out as much as I am? After seeing this picture I immediately looked up Katy Rodriguez and decided I must own this dress.

I can't believe I have not featured the beautiful Emmy Rossum as my Fashion Photo of the Day since last August. I don't know how that can be but clearly, I was waiting for this gorgeous J. Mendel moment. This chic and sexy dress is all about the double-sided tape! I don't know how these stars do it but Rossum was living dangerously in this dress with both the plunging neckline and the high slit up the leg. How did she sit down?!

I wonder what it must be like to be Lupita Nyong'o right now. She has been thrust on the world stage both as a new talent to pay attention to and a fashion force to be reckoned with. And clearly she has had her pick of amazing dresses for this awards season. It must all be so thrilling and overwhelming, but hopefully she is taking it all in. It's not every day you get to get all dolled up for a red carpet in one amazing dress after another.

I love me some Katy Perry. She has mastered the art of mixing sexy with quirky which is not an easy task. And no matter what, Perry always stays true to herself. I am absolutely in love with this Vivenne Westwood dress. It has a vintage, Stepford Wives feel but is also very modern and sultry. It hugs Perry's gorgeous figure perfectly and is giving her cleavage for days! Give me a corset, cleavage and a some draping around my stomach any day of the week and I am one happy girl.

Emma Watson is at it again. This girl knows how to make a fashion statement, push the envelope while always staying in within the classic boundaries. I know - kind of a contradiction but totally makes sense to me. Watson always sticks with classic colors and/or silhouettes but is not shy about going for it with her makeup, styling or some design in the garment. Her red Dior dress over black pants combo at the 2014 SAG Awards is a perfect example: it was chic, simple yet a totally bold choice.

This picture just seemed like the perfect choice for Valentine's Day. Jessica Brown-Findlay looks like a cream and pink cupcake in Dior at the London premiere of her new film Winter's Tale. It is fun seeing her all dolled up in make up which is a far cry from the under made-up Lady Sybil on Downton Abbey. It doesn't really matter - down up or not - Brown-Findlay is stunning and her beauty is only enhanced with makeup. She is a rare beauty who glows without it.

Stop it Amy Adams, just stop it with your amazing fashion. I cannot handle you! Adams has always dressed beautifully on the carpet but lately she has stepped it up a notch. I think something changed since playing such a sexy role in American Hustle. I find Adams' fashion choices to be more daring and definitely sexier. Just take her plunging neckline from this year's Golden Globes.
