Among the A-list celebrities include two of the hottest young actresses in Hollywood today: Rooney Mara and Jennifer Lawrence. Both are considered not only great actresses but also style icons in their own right, and they surely brought their A-game as they stepped out on the red carpets as well.

But aside from sharing a superb talent in acting and their chic fashion sense, these ladies also happen to sport the same skirt on the red carpet from the fashion house of Dior. Not to mention, they also both decided on pairing this classy skirt with a white top as well. Even if they tried to go safe with a simple black and white ensemble, we do think that they carried it with utmost class, sophistication, and elegance—don’t you think so?

Denim has undergone significant style evolution too. Today, you’ll see a cornucopia of adorned denim – from the ripped versions to the acid-washed ones. Take your pick.

What you should ... ]]> I still think the smartest clothing invention is the denim. It’s the most versatile, practical and widely-used thus far. No matter what era you revisit, you will always find denim a staple.

Denim has undergone significant style evolution too. Today, you’ll see a cornucopia of adorned denim – from the ripped versions to the acid-washed ones. Take your pick.

What you should invest in, other than a pair of sturdy and perfectly-fitting denim jeans, is a denim skirt. There are lots of ways to style this piece. Take a cue from these personal style bloggers:

1. Featuring Amy from Fancy Pants the Blog

Amy’s acid-washed denim skirt should work with almost everything, even bohemian looks. She went that route with her floral slouchy jacket. Amy allowed the denim skirt and the jacket to pop by keeping everything else minimal and monochromatic. A pair of ankle boots would punctuate the look.

2. Featuring Savina from The Blossom Girls blog

How do you style distressed pencil skirts? Why don’t you try something like this look from Savina? Pair it up with whites for a clean, spring look. Savine teamed up her denim skirt with a white cropped sweater, white baseball hat and a pair of white sneakers. Sporty yet feminine. Nice contrast, isn’t it?

3. Featuring Emma from I Emma Fashion blog

If you like laid-back, school-girl outfits, copy this look from Emma. Wear your denim skirt with a loose tank top and then style with knee-high socks and sneakers or oxford shoes. It doesn’t get any easier than this.

4. Featuring Amanda from Listography 9 blog

Go feminine with your circle denim skirt and wear it with a collared top. Keep the look pared-down with simple ankle strap sandals. Amanda’s minimalist style works because she punched it up with key pieces (her necklace and hat). In this look, she veered away from the blue tones by adding black through her shoes and hat.

5. Featuring Dan from Misplaced-Mirth blog

Denim plus the striped trend? Yes, please. Also, if you own a denim circle skirt, find a halter top to go with it or something with a turtle neck like what Dan wore. It compliments the shape of the skirt. Wear ankle boots with it.

6. Featuring Ice Ice Wu from IceUce W Blog

Denim works so well with pastel tones. Pay homage to spring by wearing your denim skirt with a pastel-tone top. Something like the yellow collared top Ice Ice wore in this outfit will work great. For a sweet and girly look, wear mary jane sandals and then make it prettier with a pair of pastel socks.

The 23-year-old actress, better known for her role as Hermione Granger, stepped out for the premiere of her controversial new movie ‘The Bling Ring’ at the 66th Cannes Film Festival held last Thursday. The Sofia Coppola-directed film features Emma as a rebel and criminal, which is of course a far cry from who she really is in real life. Nevertheless, Emma looked nothing of her role on the red carpet with her Chanel ensemble that looked perfect on her.

Indeed, Emma went for the “less is more” look and pulled it off effortlessly. What do you think?

With skirts, you have ... ]]> I probably don’t need to tell you that skirts should be a staple in your wardrobe come summer season. I don’t know about you but when days become scorching and everything you do causes sweat to drip, I turn to skirts for comfort.

It’s also a great opportunity for you to inject serious style to your ensembles. With skirts, you have a lot of chances to mix and match. I just curated skirts that I thought would be perfect for this season.

Let’s bring in the sunshine with these amazingly-made pieces:

1. Martina Spetlova Flared Laced Skirt, $1275.00

Intricate woven detailing made from green, blue, white and black leather comprises this stunning creation. The craftsmanship alone will leave you gaping. But wear it with equally stunning tops like this peplum top worn by the model and nobody will say you lack in style.

2. Risto Cotton Crochet Skirt, $369.00

What do you say to a light, crocheted skirt for summer? It has all the colors you’d love to rock this season – teal, mint, yellow green, lavender, periwinkle and more! Wear this with a knitted top and a pair of oxford shoes for that chic, preppy look.

3. Eggs Agata Skirt, $222.19

Channel your inner school girl with this A-line skirt from Agata. The draped structure made this a not-so-ordinary skirt. Flaunt it with cropped tops and then punctuate the look with platform sandals.

4. Stella Jean Printed A-Line Skirt, $545.36

Turn up the heat of the summer season with this ethnic-printed skirt. Wouldn’t you love to accessorize this with anything gold? Gold-tone sandals, maybe?

5. Lebor Gabala Silk Print Skirt, $213.21

Wear art on your skirt. This skirt is our definition of art with its amazing floral print and gorgeous shape.

6. Mary Katrantzou Palim Pencil Skirt, $836.00

Be a little bolder in your skirt choices this summer. I’m talking Mary Katranzou-kind-of-bold. Something like this skirt with its unusual stamp print, perhaps?

7. Blumarine Print Skirt, $780.00

There are flower prints and then there are flower prints. This skirt belongs to the latter category with its almost realistic floral details. I look at it and I imagine warm, languid, summer days.

What do you ladies think of these skirts? Would you wear them for the summer season?

It’s quite amazing to see her back again on the small screen on ABC’s new show ‘Mistresses’, looking like she haven’t aged a day since her days as Phoebe Halliwell.

The now 40-year-old actress stepped out at The Grove just last Tuesday to promote her new TV series, while wearing a very refreshing outfit consisting of a bright orange top and a white flared miniskirt. We’re really loving this chic retro-preppy look on Alyssa since it suits her height and built just perfectly. In addition, it’s a bit reminiscent of a modernized version of the stereotypical Stepford wife look as well–what do you think?

With more interest in fashion fanning out as a form ... ]]> Introduced by Christian Dior in the late 1940s, pencil skirts became vastly popular particularly as office wear or as a part of a suit. Today, the pencil skirt is still a favorite in the corporate setting for its clean, tailored lines, adding a necessary formality that is required of corporate wear.

With more interest in fashion fanning out as a form of self-expression, barriers are continuously being torn down as new and unconventional ways of dressing up come to the surface.

We feature six fashion bloggers who were able to take the pencil skirt and turn it into lovely casual pieces.

Luna of LuluTrésors

For a non-traditional pencil skirt look, go for emphasized woven skirts instead of regular woven fabric ones. Funk up a geometrical weave pattern by pairing it with a fun and colorful tribal top. Finish off with chunky wooden accessories and shoes.

Get her look:

Forever 21 Tribal Print Tie-Front Top, $11.80 / Very South Woven Skirt, £29.00

Prisca of Mochacchinoland

Play around with your pencil skirt look by going for a texture-overload such as  lace-on-lace ensemble. Choose a collared lace top for an instant hard versus soft contrast. Go for a skirt in a pastel or neutral color to maintain the softness of the outfit.

Get her look:

Forever 21 Sleeveless Lace Shirt, $12.80 / Burberry Laser-cut Leather Pencil Skirt, $3,595.00

Zoe of Zoe Paige

Sport the ultimate rocker-chic look by pairing a graphic rockband tee with a lace pencil skirt. Wear your hair in an updo with fringes to add to the edginess of the ensemble. Finish with a pair of oxfords.

Get her look:

Pink Floyd Dark Side of the Moon Amplified T-Shirt, £23.99 / Burberry Lace Skirt, $850.00

Jessica of Tuula Vintage

If you can overload on texture, then you can definitely overload on prints. Pull off a print-on-print look by choosing floral patterns that are contrasting in size but complementing in colors. Pull the whole look together by choosing a common hue that is present in both pieces.

Get her look:

Topshop Floral Print Suntop, $52.00 / Forever 21 Floral Print Pencil Skirt, $13.80

Anastasia of Brown Platform

The quickest way to change the entire mood of a pencil skirt ensemble is to replace tailored outerwear with a casual one, such as a slouchy cropped leather jacket. Finish the look off with nude pumps and bag so as not to take attention away from the leather-pencil skirt combination.

Get her look:

Nasty Gal Moto Zip Crop Jacket, $88.00 / Etro Colorblock Printed Pencil Skirt, $925.00

Jessica of Hapa Time

Channel your inner child by going for fun prints such as this star-printed pencil skirt. Balance the look with a lace-trimmed camisole to inject a bit of sophistication and femininity. Cap the look off with pointed-toe shoes and a suede bag.

Get her look:

Forever 21 Lace Trim Ribbed Tank, $4.90 / Minted Republic Star Spangled Pencil Skirt – Brown, $30.00

The blonde beauty looked radiantly fresh-faced as she shared the spotlight with fellow television stars, Louise Thompson and Jessica Lowndes.

The DJ-slash-businesswoman-slash-model paired her black Zara cutout tee with the Topshop Floral Tile Pelmet Skirt, jazzing up the otherwise plain top with lively floral patterns and zippers. Her ashy blonde hair was swept back into a ponytail to show off her coral-colored lips, which complemented her arm candies. She finished the look off with black Topshop cutout biker boots.
