Why it Works: Lara Stone and David Walliams

By Melissa Goldstein on
Lara Stone and David Walliams (Photos by FameFlynetPictures)Dutch megamodel Lara Stone is a regular in the Why it Works realm—we've paid respect to her sleek marketgoing look in this very space. And we simply couldn't let her couple coordination abilities go unsung after seeing her step out with actor/comedian hubby David Walliams in London. The Blazers: Since looking like her lovably scruffy dog is an impossibility for the gap-toothed siren, it appears she's opted to look like her...Read Full Story

Why it Works: Keira Knightley

By Melissa Goldstein on
(Photos by FameFlynetPictures)Actress Keira Knightley and fiancé James Righton have only been together 15 months, but fly-by-night romances are hardly noteworthy where they live (in Famous Beautiful People Land). What's far more interesting is what said celebrities choose to wear when they're suddenly madly in love and out for a dinner at the Wolseley. In this case it's something that could only work on someone theatrical and waifish whose cheekbones could cut glass. The Jacket: Knightley's...Read Full Story

Why it Works: Paz de la Huerta

By Melissa Goldstein on
(Photos by FameFlynet Pictures)Only Paz de la Huerta could turn a lunchtime burrito run into a high art seduction scene. And why? Because she is the sort of actress who develops a Spanish accent on the basis of vacationing in Seville. She is the tempestuous one with the cobra tattoo who gets too drunk to make it to the Golden Globes after-party. The full-time muse, whose admirers include Zac Posen and Jim Jarmusch. If you look up eccentric, you will find the Boardwalk Empire actress's pouting...Read Full Story

Why it Works: AnnaLynne McCord

By Melissa Goldstein on
(Photos by Pacific Coast News) Hold. The. Phone. Penny Lane from Almost Famous? Is that you? You haven't aged a day! What's that now? You're really AnnaLynne McCord from the 90210 reboot? And you're lunching with a friend who is working a similar, less spotlight-grabbing look? Well kudos. We see a Charlies Angels the New Class audition in your future. The Dress: Sure, it seems like it's harmless enough—what could go wrong with a flowy cotton jersey tank dress you ask? To which we say...Read Full Story

Why it Works: Pixie Lott

By Melissa Goldstein on
Pixie Lott (Fame/Flynet Pictures) When you go by the name Pixie, you better be pretty freaking cute. Or pretty and freaky. Or elfin. The English singer-songwriter proved she had at least the first part of the equation down pat as she prepared to board a plane to Japan, looking ever so adorable, and, we should note, spring picnic–ready. The Jacket: Never mind that from the front we’re pretty sure she stole this cropped acid washed number off of a 90210 castmember, the ’90s, as you all know...Read Full Story

Why it Works: Bella Thorne

By Melissa Goldstein on
(Photo by Fame Flynet Pictures)It’s an age-old fashion dilemma: what to wear to the White House Easter Egg Hunt? Bunny ears are a natural choice, but then you've got the Playboy connotation—could be tricky for your host in an election year. Mickey ears are always a crowdpleaser, given the fact you work for The Mouse, but then self promotion could come off as a little tacky, especially on a religious holiday. Better to go with a dress, you think, but what sort of dress says "positive teen...Read Full Story

Why it Works: Heidi Klum

By Melissa Goldstein on
(Photos by FameFlynet Pictures)There's been a lot of "tooling around Brentwood" maxidress action from everyone's favorite German supermodel recently. From a fashion point of view, it's been less than riveting.Don't get us wrong: It's not that we expect the Project Runway bombshell to be all dolled up 'round the clock, especially when she's been weathering a very public separation and tending to her stunning brood, but we must admit, part of us likes to think that Heidi Klum wakes up all...Read Full Story

Why it Works: Lauren Conrad

By Melissa Goldstein on
(Photos by Bauer Griffin)We're not exactly sure when it happened—definitely post-Speidi sextape-gate—but we've developed a serious case of big sister pride for Lauren Conrad. It feels like only yesterday we were lamenting the producer's her choice to pass on the made-up Teen Vogue Paris gig to play house with beefcake boyfriend Jason, and just look at her now. She's the head of her own fashion line, Paper Crown, cocreator of the website The Beauty Department, and a New York Times bestelling...Read Full Story

Why it Works: Helena Bonham Carter's Airport Flowerlady Look

By Melissa Goldstein on
(Fame/Flynet Pictures)Even Lady Gaga, who has practically reached deity status among the costume-as-clothing crowd, should not attempt Helena Bonham Carter's latest airport look. Only the queen of flowerlady-meets-neighborhood-witch sartorial, aka the better half to Tim Burton, could pull this off. Let us deconstruct the architecture of her ugly-cool magic. The Accessories: Allowing a hint of that mind-of-its-own mane to peek out, Carter’s headwear nods to the family bestie, Mr. Johnny...Read Full Story

Why it Works: Lana Del Rey Gets Waisted at a Rock Show

By Melissa Goldstein on
Lana Del Rey (Photos by Pacific Coast News)Having failed in her mission to singlehandedly destroy Saturday Night Live with her weird, stage-wandering performance, unsinkable songstress Lana Del Rey popped up at the Wiltern to check out Guns N’ Roses’ Takeover Tour in a stomach-baring ensemble that paid tribute to Ol’ Blue Eyes. The Shirt: First we hear from Vogue that the Notorious B.I.G. tops Del Rey’s personal playlist, and now it seems safe to assume, given the concert attendance and...Read Full Story
