Candids: Nicole Richie & Kate Beckinsale

This is the season for two really big trends; tights/stockings and the color gray. Here are some great candids of both Kate and Ms. Richie shopping while sporting the trends.

Kate Beckinsale

Kate is mixing both trends, opaque black tights under shorts and a gray babydoll top layered. Love the look from the top up, but something about tights under shorts really bothers me. The boots are awesome though I wish she would have worn a chunky platform from Miu Miu or Sergio Rossi

Nicole Richie

With the recent split from famous stylist Rachel Zoe, Nicole looks great here in a gray mini dress, stockings and black platforms. Love the scarf around the neck and the new brunette locks. She manages to make this potentially dressy look casual. It seems Ms. Richie doesn’t need the ‘puppetmaster’ after all.

More Nicole

Nicole is always cute and looks great here in all black, skinny jeans and long-sleeved tee. The Chanel bag and scarf add an air of Jackie O to the look.

Candids: Starlets Edition

The young and fabulous have been out and about and of course all we care about is what are they WEARING. Here’s a mixed Fendi bag of some of our favorite fashionistas.

Nicole Richie:

My usual style darling has made a misstep somewhere along this outfit. But I don’t know where it is… I like the eyelet pattern on the shirt, the scarf is cute and the sunglasses are her sig, but the whole look screams Jimi Hendrix, old Nicole wild child. Let me know what you think, because I’m torn…

Paris Hilton:

Now I normally refrain from commenting on Ms. Hilton as I think she has a much style as Victoria Beckham (take that as you wish), but she does manage to look cute here in a red stripe shirt, skinny jeans and red flats. Personally I would have lost the matchy headband and glasses, but baby steps Paris, baby steps.

Halle Berry:

Looking very casual as she runs some errands. She always looks very pulled together and simple. Oo la la to her snakeskin bag and booties.

Lindsay Lohan:

I’m always on the fence about La Lohan. There are times when she looks amazingly beautiful and then times when I wonder if the “rumors” are true and she got dressed in a haze. This, unfortunately is one of those times. You all know how I feel about stockings under shorts (see Kate Beckinsale post), so she loses points there, but then she woos with with her loosely strewn scarf (I’m a sucker for a scarf) and the aviator glasses. Chuck the stockings, add a wedge platform and we’re in business Linds.
