Rosario Dawson

Rosario Dawson arrives to The New Pink BlackBerryr Pearl Smartphone Launch Party at A+D Studio on January 31,2008 in Los Angeles,California.

Ok, ok. So after numerous emails I decided to just do a "steal style" on this dress rather than attempt to answer you all individually. Sometimes it just isn't possible to get back to all of you so don't be offended if you don't hear from me :)

I couldn't locate Rosario's exact dress but I found some pretty cute alternatives. Rosario looks best when she dresses down as opposed to up. I love the simple accessories and natural make up and hair. Dressing up doesn't always mean sequins and skin-tight clothing *side eyes Beyonce.*

Steal Rosario's Style...

Dress: UO Villanelle Dress, $58, www.urbanoutftters.com

Bracelet: Gucci-licious Bracelet with Toggle in Gold, $12.99, www.girlprops.com

Pumps: Steve Madden Luvvy Pumps, $69.96, www.endless.com

Necklace: Hammered Coin Necklace, $22, www.rimistyle.com

If you prefer to accentuate your waist, add a thin brown suede belt to this look. Keep it loose though as you don't want to ruin the natural shape of the dress. This type of dress looks great with flip flops so hang on to it for summer!

Best of the Rest...

Left to right: Navy Stretch Jersey Bubble Dress by ABS $93.49, www.bluefly.com; Lauren Conrad Sophia Dress, $145, www.shopintuition.com; Draped Tunic Dress by 3.1 by Phillip Lim, $364, www.bigdropnyc.com

The best thing about these dresses are that they can pass for tops as well - double the value! Either way, these jersey dresses make the perfect lazy Sunday get-up. Throw on some statement jewelry to stand out from the crowd and to stop this look getting plain.

Style on the Go…

Rising star Dania Ramierez has been catching my eye lately. Never failing to look perfectly polished, she wowed me with her choice of heels at the Pink BlackBerry Pearl Smartphone launch party. I would never have thought to pair a black mini dress with leather, tan colored toeless boots. Bravo Dania, bravo!

Kerry Washington kept it conservative at the CNN, LA Times, POLITICO Democratic Debate after party. This bell-shaped, pin stripped suit is nothing short of classy but she lightened things up with a bright red clutch and big, cute gold earrings. Loves it!

Rosario Dawson can be a hit or miss with her fashion choices. This time was a major hit. This is one of those dresses every girl should have in their wardrobe for when they feel like dressing up but want to be comfortable. Sometimes a girl just doesn’t want to deal with fidgeting all night. Oh and the long pendant is a nice touch.

Finally, Golden Brooks was oh so close with this outfit. The dress is tres cute but the heels?! Golden please explain yourself. Well, from the ankles up I think she looks nice. I’m sure many of you will disagree but I just love the frilly sleeves on her dress. I could totally rock it!

Style on the Go…

Nia Long was spotted yesterday shopping it up at Kitson in L.A. with her son Massai (not pictured). She’s such a natural beauty who looks flawless dressed up or dressed down. Not too sure about the head scarf but we all have those days when our hair isn’t quite as it should be and we just want to run out and get something… I‘m not mad at that.

Melanie Brown of the reignited Spice Girls (I’m not even going to front, I’m excited about the reunion!) has been keeping herself busy by airing out her dirty laundry. While I’m not quite sure where we are with the whole is-he-or-isn’t-he-the-father saga, baby mama drama hasn’t looked this good since…. Well, NEVER! Mel B. is working that dress. No comment on her lawyer Gloria Allred’s outfit. We can’t all be rich and cute. Moving on…

Rosario Dawson made a special appearance at “The Today Show” last week looking relaxed and effortlessly put together. I love the yellow flats paired with the turquoise patterned dress and charcoal wrap. I wish she would do something more interesting with her hair. Rosario has six movies coming out over the next year so we’ll be seeing plenty of her in the future.

Now I’m not feeling Alicia Keys dress and pumps at all but she does look beautiful. Whoever does her hair and make-up is always on point. Gold star to them, but her stylist deserves a beat-down. The cut of this dress is flattering but cheetah print, stockings, and purple pumps don’t belong together. She tries…

I was strolling through Forever 21 the other day and every other item on the racks were bright, bright yellow. I think the color looks especially good on our skin. See the ladies above for inspiration and this model in Catherine Malandrino’s Banded Mini Dress (which is sold out at Saks). Like most trends, you don’t have to wear it from head-to-toe. I think a yellow outfit and shoes and a bag is overkill. Make like Rihanna and don a bold, structured yellow top or an A-line skirt or even just accessories.

Shifty Business...

Nia Long attending the 17th Annual NAACP Theater Awards earlier this year.

Paula Patton arriving at the 21st Annual Soul Train Music Awards held at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium last month in Pasadena, California.

Tracee Ellis Ross at the Katy Rodriguez Celebration of her Eponymous Collection.

Take a cue from these ladies and shift into gear with the must-have dress du jour. A throw-back from the sixties, the shift dress is a classic style that shows no signs of disappearing. If you’re worried about looking too retro in a shift, pick a fabric with a futuristic twist like Paula Patton or try something a little more eclectic like Tracee Ellis Ross. Remember that the shift dress was made for the clutch purse, so give it what it deserves!
