KALEY CUOCO

You didn’t think we were going to miss the opportunity to study Kaley’s ACM Awards hair from every angle, did you? The unique updo is sky-high in the front, sleek on the sides and tousled in the back.

STACY KEIBLER

The white dress-and-nude sandals look certainly works for Stacy, and this time she mixes it up with a black graphic print and back-revealing cutout at the Tracy Anderson Studio opening in Brentwood, Calif.

05 of 64

OLGA KURYLENKO

love interest in the upcoming Oblivion looks like quite the catch in yet another great premiere look, this time in Dublin. The actress accessorizes her emerald green Roland Mouret gown with a bright red lip and slicked-back hair.

DIANE KRUGER

Wearing an outfit only she could get away with (what else is new, right?), Diane attends the FX Upfront Bowling event in N.Y.C. in a silk Jason Wu halter and peplum pants, plus black heels and a red box clutch.

07 of 64

CHRISSY TEIGEN

Her turtleneck dress earned a whopping 91% approval rating, and we have a feeling the semi-sheer black tank dress she wears with sexy peep-toe heels to the Jeffrey Fashion Cares Celebration in N.Y.C. will be equally beloved.

08 of 64

EMMY ROSSUM

The actress channels her inner flapper in a retro-inspired gold-and-black fringe dress at the Jeffrey Fashion Cares Celebration in N.Y.C.

BRANDI GLANVILLE

It’s tough to stand out when you’re walking the red carpet next to and , but holds her own in a flowy orange Prada dress with a butterfly at the waist and satin heels (also Prada) at the N.Y.C. premiere of The Place Beyond the Pines.

15 of 64

ADRIANA LIMA

There’s subtle sexiness and then there’s the in-your-face, can’t-stop-staring, jaws-on-the-floor sexiness, like the kind the model’s white Alberta Ferretti gown oozes at the Brazil Foundation Gala in Miami.

16 of 64

KRISTEN STEWART

As braid lovers, we’re obviously smitten with the messy fishtail sports to the Kids’ Choice Awards in L.A. So smitten, in fact, that we got all the details on how to recreate it!

17 of 64

JESSICA ALBA

What’s needed to get Kids’ Choice Awards do, a side-swept style (which is perfect if you’ve lost one earring, but still want to show off the other)? Apparently nothing but a few bobby pins.

18 of 64

MISCHA BARTON

The takes her abs out on the town in a shrunken sheer white lace top with a matching skirt (both by Katharine Kidd) and sparkling heels at the Fire & Ice Gala in Hollywood.

20 of 64

EMMY ROSSUM

Man, do we wish we were Emmy Rossum. Not just so we could attend this L.A. Target event celebrating the release of new album, but also so we could give others hair envy with this perfect, shiny French braid.

21 of 64

JENNIFER LOPEZ

The may be attending Muhammad Ali’s Celebrity Fight Night in Phoenix, Ariz., but that doesn’t stop her from going girlie in a nude tulle Maria Lucia Hohan creation with black lace accents, which she pairs with black striped pumps and a python clutch, both by Christian Louboutin.

22 of 64

ELISHA CUTHBERT

No, she’s not wearing two dresses. The actress, at the Toronto Target opening, wears one design consisting of a sleeveless blue creation with a long-sleeve black lace overlay, accessorized with nothing but black pumps and red lips.

23 of 64

KATY PERRY

Considering she might get slimed, an ensemble that resembles a bathing suit is actually appropriate. The reminds what he’s missing in a sexy Hervé Léger by Max Azria bralette, high-waist skirt and Christian Louboutin pumps.

24 of 64

JANUARY JONES

The Mad Men selects a blue-and-white Jonathan Saunders dress (with quite the revealing sheer panel!), plus silver sandals, to celebrate the kickoff of Season 6 in L.A.

25 of 64

BELLA THORNE

Let your trainer know that this cutout (seen on Bella’s blue cap-sleeve mini at the Boohoo summer press day in L.A., as well as a number of other stars’ dresses) might very well be the cutout of the season. Sigh.

26 of 64

NICOLE KIDMAN

The goes old Hollywood in an embroidered black-and-nude Oscar de la Renta gown, plus a Roger Vivier clutch, at an Omega gala in Vienna, Austria.

27 of 64

28 of 64

SIENNA MILLER

There’s something so laid-back and cool about the fact that the wears a messy, half-up (DIY) bun with lots of face-framing pieces on a red carpet (and the red carpet for the Vanity Fair Tribeca Film Festival event no less!).

29 of 64

EMMY ROSSUM

The It accessory this season isn’t a bag or a pair of shoes; it’s a braid. Emmy complements her summery outfit at the Saving Tails benefit in Hollywood with an equally easy-breezy messy side fishtail version, pinning back her layers with two bobby pins.

30 of 64

KIM KARDASHIAN

Always the overachiever, wears not one, but two plaits, pulled back into an undone bun, for an appearance at the Kardashian Khaos store in Vegas.

31 of 64

KERRY WASHINGTON

We wonder if Kerry (in Roger Vivier heels) saw a basic, long-sleeve black Michael Kors mini and said, “I like it, but it needs something more,” then had the designer add a bright marigold high-low skirt complete with a train for the MTV Movie Awards.

32 of 64

KARLIE KLOSS

We plan to bookmark this photo of the model at the MTV Movie Awards in her smokin’ cropped white top (with a sliver of a cutout) and coordinating pencil skirt (both by Cushnie et Ochs, worn with David Yurman jewelry) and pull it up next time we’re considering skipping the gym.

33 of 64

35 of 64

RACHEL MCADAMS

We already know why she went red, but perhaps we’ll never fully understand why opts for such an incredibly high topknot, accessorized with a black headband.

36 of 64

JULIANNE HOUGH

Busy, busy! We’re talking about schedule (she’s at the British Fashion Council celebration in Beverly Hills) and her dress, a multicolor mirror-image creation with black sleeves and one unique (and confusing) neckline, plus Aldo Rise x Preen heels.

37 of 64

OLGA KURYLENKO

It’s hard to pick our favorite part of the actress’s do at the Oblivion premiere in L.A. We love every aspect of the look equally, from the sideswept tendrils to the low bun and of course, the unexpected braids woven throughout.

38 of 64

JENNIFER MORRISON

Hey Jennifer, before going to the Coach event to benefit the Children’s Defense Fund in Santa Monica, Calif., did you watch the videos from our trip to a braid bar? Because this looks very similar to the waterfall plaits one editor got.

39 of 64

HEIDI KLUM

41 of 64

Two things we can’t help noticing at the To the Wonder premiere in L.A.: big bun and tiny waist, which she flaunts in a calf-length black Maria Lucia Hohan dress with a lace overlay.

42 of 64

KALEY CUOCO

There are those stars who show a lot of skin up front and in back. Kaley’s one of them at the American Country Music Awards in Vegas, thanks to her cleavage- and back-baring BCBG Max Azria halter featuring slices of sheer fabric in a geometric pattern.

43 of 64

PAULA PATTON

Lest you think Paula, in a high-necked, floor-length, long-sleeved Gucci gown at an N.Y.C. screening of Disconnect, is opposed to showing skin, the actress turns around to display an open back and up-to-there slit.

44 of 64

TAYLOR SWIFT

If you think the front of gold Dolce & Gabbana gown, worn to the ACM Awards in Vegas, is dazzling with its embellished bodice and neckline, you have to see the stunning open back.

45 of 64

JANA KRAMER

She’s rocking 360º of fringe at her neckline, but that’s just the beginning. The rest of the singer’s ACM Awards dress, a Badgley Mischka design, boasts a ton of bling including sequins, beads, crystals and embellished tulle.

46 of 64

SARAH HYLAND

Another day, another cool braid. The Modern Family actress wears hers to the side along with a surprisingly sexy sleeveless dress (check out those back cutouts), plus bowed peep-toes, to the Skip and Donate event in West Hollywood.

47 of 64

HAYDEN PANETTIERE

We almost referred to her as Heidi when we saw the actress at the White House Correspondents Dinner sporting this perfectly done Dutch-braided do.

48 of 64

OLIVIA WILDE

Here’s an LBD (that would be long brown dress) we’d love to own. Olivia wears the plunging (in the front and back!) Valentino gown and equally dramatic headband to a cocktail reception after the White House Correspondents Dinner in D.C.

49 of 64

ELIZABETH BANKS

Now, we know what the Hunger Games star looks like in The Capitol. But here’s what she looks like in our nation’s capital. The actress is elegant at the White House Correspondents Dinner in a deep copper Roland Mouret gown, polished black Edie Parker clutch and rose gold Irene Neuwirth earrings.

50 of 64

KERRY WASHINGTON

This lady knows her way around the district! Okay, the Scandal star’s D.C. life may be fictional, but Washington still commands attention from the Oval Office’s inner circle in her dramatic gown, with its patterned, asymmetrical-train Wes Gordon skirt (plus accompanying Christian Louboutin heels), worn to the White House Correspondents Dinner.

51 of 64

JENNIFER LAWRENCE

The new long bob takes some (but not all) of the attention away from her majorly flared David Koma mini, which she selects for the GLAAD awards in L.A.

52 of 64

DUCHESS CATHERINE

Well, this is a print we’re not used to seeing on the ! She shakes things up at the inauguration of Warner Bros. Studio in Watford, England, wearing a polka-dot mini, plus a black blazer, clutch and pumps.

53 of 64

JULIE BOWEN

The Modern Family actress takes a dark turn at the L.A. Modernism Show Preview Party, wearing a black off-the-shoulder Zuhair Murad dress dripping with sequins, along with matching pumps and a perky ponytail.

54 of 64

ASHLEY MADEKWE

We’d match our pedi to our dress too if the dress in question were as gorgeous as this peplum Monique Lhuillier number. The Revenge actress selects the patterned aqua dress (along with a yellow clutch and black stilettos, both Jimmy Choo, and Baccarat jewels) for the College Television Awards Gala in L.A.

55 of 64

57 of 64

BELLA THORNE

How many trends can one girl wear at once? Let’s see: bold print, peplum, high neckline, crop top, top knot. The actress pulls it all off in a two-piece Katie Ermillo creation at the premiere of Iron Man 3 in Hollywood.

58 of 64

OLIVIA PALERMO

From the front, Olivia appears to be wearing nothing but a basic center-parted bun, but she turns around at the Rochas event in Madrid to reveal a muy guay (translation: very cool) intricately braided knot at the nape of her neck.

59 of 64

KELLY ROWLAND

Rowland confidently rocks a whole slew of white-hot red carpet trends (high halter neckline, sheer panels, jumpsuit, a high waist) via her over-the-top Izmaylova creation at the annual GLAAD Awards in L.A.

60 of 64

LENA DUNHAM

We applaud Lena for taking the plunge, but we’re not sure this look is working for her. The Girls star braves a Saint Laurent gold dress with a super-low neckline and spiked waistband, plus sky-high T-bar heels (also Saint Laurent) at the TIME 100 Gala in N.Y.C.

61 of 64

MARIA MENOUNOS

Between the graphic print, sculptural neckline, pointed shoulders and dramatic train, this is one head-turning gown. The TV host finishes off the look for the GLAAD Awards in L.A. with a sleek center-parted pony and Greymer peep-toes featuring metal spikes down the heel.
