Kirsten Dunst wowed us in a shocking pink Christian Dior gown at the Cannes Film Festival premiere of On the Road back in May — and over six months later, her red-carpet look is providing serious style inspiration for New Year's Eve. We love the idea of copying Kirsten's party-ready ensemble for a night on the town this holiday; all you need is a great maxi dress in a bold shade of fuchsia, a sleek black waist belt, and a shimmery box clutch. While this outfit is definitely on the more glamorous side, what better time is there to get dressed to the nines than New Year's Eve? See how we styled up a look similar to Kirsten's, and then click below to shop pieces now.

Nicky Hilton stepped out to do a little post-Christmas shopping in a laid-back, comfortable outfit that was almost unreal in its effortlessness. She started with a simple pair of gray skinnies, then added a fitted black tee layered with a Torn by Ronny Kobo buffalo plaid and shearling coat, finishing the look with a trio of sleek accessories — a pair of Tory Burch fox loafers, aviator sunglasses, and a sleek black satchel. We've seen Nicky sporting her cozy plaid coat before, yes, but it's always refreshing when the girl who has everything shows us how to put a new spin on our seasonal favorites.

Street-Style Star Miranda Kerr Spices Up a Sweater and Jeans

There's no secret as to why Miranda Kerr took top honors for best street style and most stylish mom in our Best of 2012 coverage this year: the girl's got a killer fashion sense and makes even the most basic of ensembles look cool, laid-back, and ridiculously effortless. Miranda attended a Boxing Day party along with husband Orlando Bloom and their baby boy, Flynn, yesterday — and in true Miranda form, she gave a simple dressed-down look new life with just a few key pieces. She layered a pair of light-wash Frame Denim jeans with a slouchy white blouse and punchy yellow sweater (complete with elbow patches, which we can't get enough of). Miranda upped the ante on what would otherwise be a basic look by adding a wide-brimmed brown hat and sleek leather loafers, proving once again that this model mom just can't (and won't) quit.

by Brittney Stephens

Jessica Alba, though always stylish, has really been on a roll with her cool, casual daytime looks. Jessica stepped out over the holiday weekend for a trip to Williams-Sonoma with her little girls — and much like on her recent trip to Target, the actress managed to make running errands look like a walk down the runway. Jessica put a spin on the age-old t-shirt-and-jeans look by swapping her dark denim skinnies for a pair of Current/Elliott plaid-printed jeans and layering her slouchy white tee with a drapey brown leather jacket. She added a pair of lace-up ankle booties and a sleek shoulder bag, proving once again that mundane tasks can always become more exciting when you're wearing a great outfit.

by Brittney Stephens

Leave it to Jessica Alba to take something as simple and uneventful as shopping at Target and turn it into serious fashion fodder. The actress headed out to finish up some holiday shopping in a look that was the perfect example of laid-back edgy luxe. She started with a pair of star-print jeans, then layered up with a gray slouchy tee, cozy snood, and black open cardigan. The pièce de résistance of Jessica's look was undoubtedly her Simone studded leather jacket, which rounded out the biker-cool ensemble while still coming off as effortless and superchic. She accessorized with basic leather ankle boots and a bright, eye-catching bag. Whether you're spending the next couple of days with friends and family or hoofing it around town to finish up gift shopping, Jessica's outfit would be a killer one for your weekend-warrior activities.

Don't Pass on Prints: How to Put a Fresh Spin on Your Winter Florals

To some people, feminine florals are an inherently springtime trend, but designers like Rag & Bone, Valentino, and Proenza Schouler all showed a bevy of bold flowered prints on their Fall runways — ushering in a new, unexpected look for the cold-weather months.

To some people, feminine florals are an inherently springtime trend, but designers like Rag & Bone, Valentino, and Proenza Schouler all showed a bevy of bold flowered prints on their Fall runways — ushering in a new, unexpected look for the cold-weather months. Recently, we saw some always-stylish celebs getting in on the movement. Liv Tyler sported a sexy fitted Dolce & Gabbana dress artfully layered with black tights, a wool coat, and a sweep of punchy lipstick, while Anne Hathaway went for a ladylike vintage red velvet sheath and black pumps. Also stepping out in the dark, moody look was Rose Byrne, who got her floral fix in a wispy blouse tucked into a high-waisted skirt. We've styled up three outfits that incorporate Winter florals in a way that will have you rethinking your seasonal pattern rules. Click through to see and shop them now.

Let's all take a good look at Keira Knightley's outfit, shall we? It's simple, not too thought out, and, best of all, it's perfect for the weekend. The brunette beauty and Anna Karenina star showed how to work your warm-weather pieces for the Winter and kept her look in a dark, neutral color palette while playing with textures. The result is a laid-back yet polished ensemble that we can't help but copy for ourselves.

5 Fresh Dress and Jacket Pairings For Party Season

If there's anything we've learned from past party seasons, it's that anything goes — and when it comes to layering up ahead of a chilly-night event, there are more ways to stay warm and look great than one might think.

by Brittney Stephens

If there's anything we've learned from past party seasons, it's that anything goes — and when it comes to layering up ahead of a chilly-night event, there are more ways to stay warm and look great than one might think. For instance, we love the look of an edgy leather jacket over a frothy party dress (nobody does this quite like Sarah Jessica Parker), and designer Joseph Altuzarra once told us that he's really big into "a parka over a slipdress or cocktail dress. It's very Kate Moss in the '90s, really sensual and raw." So there you have it.

To help you think outside the box this holiday, we've styled up five fresh, unexpected party dress and jacket combos that will ensure you look (and feel) like a million bucks.

Miranda Kerr's Leather Looks Just Don't Quit — Copy Her Perfect Party Look

If there's one thing we know about Miranda Kerr, it's that the girl loves her leather.

by Brittney Stephens

If there's one thing we know about Miranda Kerr, it's that the girl loves her leather. Over the past couple months, we've seen the leggy model step out in sleek pieces from Balenciaga and Givenchy (plus, who can forget those thigh-high Hermès boots?), and just yesterday she was snapped walking in NYC wearing a pair of supershort leather shorts from Maison Martin Margiela. While Miranda has sported this particular pair before, we think her most recent look highlights the perfect way to wear your shorts throughout the chilly Winter season. Miranda layered up with black tights and a cozy Acne sweater (another repeated wear!), then pulled on a black wool coat and sexy lace-up ankle booties. Her spot-on styling makes for a pretty amazing holiday party look, and all you need to dress it up even more are a cool statement necklace and a sweep of red lipstick. Swap out Miranda's Givenchy tote for a slim clutch, and you've got yourself a slick soiree ensemble that seamlessly blends high fashion with downtown cool.

She's as Cold as Ice: Get Inspired by the Ultimate in Winter Chill

Pardon our Journey reference, but we're really feeling inspired by icicles this season.

Pardon our Journey reference, but we're really feeling inspired by icicles this season. Yes, they symbolize all things freezing cold, but they also happen to be exceptionally beautiful, especially when interpreted in the world of fashion. Brands like Blumarine, Chanel, and Elie Saab all got in on the glacial-chic trend this year, showing off slick silver metallics and crystal-encrusted accessories for some seriously statement-making Winter ensembles. Our seasonal mood board incorporates the subzero look to a T: shiny sequin track pants courtesy of 3.1 Phillip Lim have an unparalleled arctic vibe, as does this metallic jacquard party dress from DKNY. We're also digging crystal-embellished accessories as well as Proenza Schouler's iridescent strappy heels — and a sweep of silver eye shadow will only help your icy stares.
