When studded shoes made their way onto the runways, there was no looking back. These Jimmy Choo’s are fierce and flawless examples:
At $1,095 they’re quite the splurge, but they’re bound to be classics. Pair these with a flowy summer frock and a black leather jacket for a chic and edgy look. You can probably give Rih Rih a run for her money…sans le haircut.

Rihanna went for chunky and funky at the London premier of the Quentin Tarantino film “Inglourious Basterds.” She wore a black Alexander McQueen jumpsuit and lace gloves with what could be Thea Grant Jefferson Ave’s $585 Rosary Necklace:
You can certainly splurge on the eye catching item, or get a similar look by layering on tons of inexpensive alternatives. Whatever your taste, we got you!

It seems young British model Jourdan Dunn is expecting a child:
In a Style.com article, Senior Editor Meredith Melling Burke offers the 19-year-old suggestions on what she should wear, saying, “[here are a few] fall picks…for this expectant young Londoner, due in December.”
See outfit suggestions for the Mommy to be here.
Jourdan has made quite a splash in her short career, being named British Fashion Awards’ 2008 Model of the Year, stomping for Prada after a 10 year black model drought, and gracing the cover of Italian Vogue’s historic All Black issue.
Do you think this signals the end of her career?
For such a relative newcomer to the fashion scene, it’s a little surprising that Alexander Wang has had so many mass-produced dresses “inspired” by pieces from his collections. Celebrities like Lala and Kim Kardashian flock to his frocks, so it’s not hard to believe that he’s being imitated.
Bebe’s Sweetheart Mesh Bodice Dress comes close to Alexander Wang’s with a slit at the bottom and mesh material at the top. Without a doubt, Bebe’s is much more R-word friendly. But which one would you rather rock on a hot night out with the girls?

Today’s very busy for me, so I’m going to make Mail Bombs super quick!
Let’s Go!
Jewel from New Orleans says, “Can you please help me find a more affordable version of what Bey is rocking in these pics?”
“… I love the entire outfit!! Also, could you suggest pieces that would make it “work-friendly” too…I would like to take it from the office to happy hour.”
Of course! Get Beyonce’s look for less by tucking a shirred beige shirt into a pair of cropped pants. Make it work friendly with a pair of round toe pumps and tie it all together with a wide belt:
Next, Nicki says, “Can you help me find a dress similar to the one Adrienne’s wearing?“
“LOVES IT!!“
Hey! Looks like Adrienne wore a simple one shoulder white dress sauced up with a bauble necklace. Get her look by combining these options:
Kia from New Jersey says, “I LOVE the leather vest Keri Hilson is wearing in this picture:”
“…Can you help me find an affordable, Black vest exactly OR similar to the one shown?“
