I know she’s not everyone’s cup of tea, but I just love Victoria Beckham‘s style. Yes, she is painfully thin and yes, she wears painfully tall, often incomprehensible heels, but I think she always looks chic. Same holds true for her clothing line. Many celebrity clothing lines crash and burn, but hers has seemingly taken off nicely with no turbulence in sight. While out and about in NYC last September, Mrs. Beckham wore a delightfully retro sheath dress from her own line. Love that she paired it with a skinny black belt, the always enviable Hermés Birkin and the lustworthy YSL Tribtoo Pumps. Personally, I would have worn black pumps like the model, but all in all it’s a fantastic look.

Zoe Saldana is such a beautiful woman, isn’t she? She’s got a spectacular face but also an amazing body that is perfect for showing off lovely clothes – and she chooses well (that Oscar dress!). We also love the look she put together for “The Losers” premiere in L.A. just a few days ago. The strong-shouldered Balmain dress is the perfect statement piece and she showed great restraint in choosing her accessories – a simple clutch, belt and ring made that fabulous dress the focal point – along with a pair of badass Cesare Paciotti heels.

Zoe Saldana’s Look 4 Less
We love Zoe’s look, but wanted to find something more affordable (duh!) and also a little more real-world (or “real-girl” as Vahni eloquently put it in one of her posts) friendly. The Balmain dress is amazing, but, seeing as how I’m not a Hollywood starlet, where on earth am I going to wear a frock with such a plunging neckline? Never mind the price. I’m in love with this ASOS Body Con dress. The general feel is the same (strong shoulders, figure-hugging style), but it’s a lot more wearable than the Balmain. The Steve Madden “LANGLY” platforms are spot-on (see below for a 30% OFF coupon code) and the accessories we chose are perfect and CHEAP. All in all this entire look will run you well under $200. Now that’s a steal.

Wow… what’s there to say about Penélope Cruz in this incredible nude sheath by Dolce & Gabbana except caliente? She looks phenomenal. The dress is exquisite, as are the to-die-for nude Christian Louboutin peep-toes. She gets two thumbs up, an A++, and first place.

Penélope Cruz’ Look 4 Less
Love Pen in that frock, and I’m sure you do too. So here’s the real-world, real-girl version, for less than $243. And a customer testimonial for you…I have those nude Whitsey pumps, and they are astoundingly fabulous! If you follow me on Twitter (@gritandglamour), you can see a photo of them on me (and let’s hope you’re already a follower of @intheircloset, because you often get our amazing sale scoop there first). They are my new favorite pumps, and mind you, I’m not a big fan of peep-toes. But this is a very special shoe. Truuuuuust me. Happy spring and happy shopping!

A few days ago Vanessa Hudgens visited the MTV Studios in New York to make an appearance at the It’s On With Alexa Chung show. The actress was papped while leaving the studios in a white shirt dress which she accessorized with a skinny belt, a Givenchy “Melancholia” bag and a pair of Pour La Victoire’s “Pascale” beige sandals.

Kim Kardashian‘s style transformation is nothing short of amazing. I remember the times (circa 2007) when Kim would refuse to wear anything else than a body-con Hervé Léger dress on the red carpet and Juicy Couture sweatpants when out in public. A lot has changed since then and I’m glad it changed for the better. Today’s Kim prefers sophisticated dresses and isn’t afraid of taking risks with edgy pieces like a structured Balmain blazer. Brava!
Kim attended the LA premiere of Orphan yesterday looking fabulous in a white Proenza Schouler bustier dress. She accessorized her ensemble with a YSL cage belt and the infamous YSL Trib Two pumps. A black Christian Louboutin satin clutch completed Kim’s elegant red carpet look.
