Actress Lucy Hale wowed us on the red carpet at last night’s People’s Choice Awards in a super-sculpted, sequined mini with a luxurious side train. The 22-year old actress, who took home a a PCA for Favorite Cable TV Drama along with her fellow Pretty Little Liars castmates looked both sweet and sophisticated in her sweeping Cengiz Abazoglu dress, winning her our Prom Look of the Day as well. How to Look Good With a Side Train: Mini & Mighty What makes this trend fresh is the mixing of a short and sweet dress with a long and elegant train. Shop for a simple, sheath silhouette. This lets the long train work as a statement on its own. Opposites Attract Look for a dress that has eye-catching embellishments. The contrast between the gentle, sweeping train and a jewel or sequin encrusted bodice, gives this look its signature pop. Feet First Make sure that your train doesn’t puddle around your feet and that you can walk, dance, and even jump up and down comfortably. If the train seems a little too long and drapes around your legs, consider pinning it to the side so you can rock the dramatic look without the dramatic sound of your dress ripping. OK, think your brave enough to rock the look on
the big night? Check out our picks below!

Amber.Stardoll- We can now announce that Balenciaga has just recently signed none other than star Kristen Stewart to be the face of the newest Balenciaga fragrance for women this year! Kristen has already explained her love to the famous and exclusive brand: “Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always recognized and loved Balenciaga." she revealed to Women's Wear Daily. She also said: "It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now. The brand is just cool. That’s the way it is. I feel drawn to it. It provokes on a number of levels. It isn’t afraid or contrived. It hits a very cool balance, always. Always pretty undeniable.”We are really looking forward for the result and hopefully we will see some glimpse of the campaign pictures soon! We really think it's good for a company team up with such a popular superstar as Kristen! (cocoperez)

- Of course Beyoncé and Jay-Z's daughter, Blue Ivy Carter, is going to be one famous baby, but this is a new record we talking about! Baby Blue is already making history by officially becoming the youngest person to ever reach the Billboard music charts, at less than a week old! Baby Blue is credited as a collaborator for Jay-Z's newly recorded song, "Glory," which the rapper wrote about his daughter soon after her birth. Can you imagine, not even one week old and she's already breaking Billboard records? Wow this little girl is going to run the world one day! (celebritygossip)

- Sure we haven't always loved Madonna's style, she's often a bit too much out there or dresses too young. But this time, we actually like what she's wearing. The black gothic garments look cool, and the red accessories make it really interesting. Looks like someone's learning!

- We knew that little Blue Ivy would be a diva, especially with Beyonce and Jay-Z as parents but we didn't know that it would already be so extreme, after all she's only a few days old! We found out that Beyonce and Jay-Z have lavished their daughter with gifts totaling around $1.5 million! From a gold rocking horse ($600,000), a custom-made crib ($20,000), and a high chair covered in Swarvrovski crystals ($15,000) Blue Ivy is set for life! Do we think this is a bit ridiculous? Yes! But is it also totally fab? YES! (nypost)

Photo: Getty ImagesAttention all music-loving boys and girls: the Coachella 2012 lineup is finally here! This year, the music festival is expanding to two consecutive weekends, topping off a series of three spring music festivals that are sure to rock your season—South by Southwest (SXSW) and Ultra being the other two main players. But what’s arguably more important than what bands are hitting the stage is what to wear to each festival, which year by year attracts the most fashionable attendees and Hollywood celebs—Lea Michele, Ashley Greene, Vanessa Hudgens, and Kate Bosworth all hit Coachella last year dressed in their trendiest get-ups. To make sure you’re looking your best as you dance you heart out, here’s a guide to what to wear to this spring’s most talked about fests: MORE: Check out our must-know tips for surviving outdoor concerts! SXSW When: March 13-18 Where: Austin, TX SXSW is probably the most laid-back of the three, with most bands playing in small venues and bars around Austin. Since you’re in Texas, you’ve got to think southern with your wardrobe: we’re talking cowboy-style leather boots, cutoff denim shorts, breezy linen blouses, and a checkered flannel to drape over your shoulder (SXSW takes place in late March, so it should get a little chilly at night—even in Texas). Try these items for a perfectly southern look:

You’ll be in Miami, and if that isn’t hot enough, the pounds of sweat pouring down your body as you dance will make you want to be glad that you dressed for the warm weather. Throw on your brightest neons and fluorescents and strap on a pair of colorful high top Dunks or Chuck Taylors to protect your feet—trust us, you don’t want some dude stomping all over your newly polished beach pedicure! Add some bold stunner shades to make a statement (oh, and to keep that Florida sun out of your eyes!) Give these ultra-cool items a try:

With street style photographers abound, you’ll want to make sure you’re looking chic enough for the scene. The most important thing to remember is to wear lightweight material, because the temperature can really soar in the middle of the desert. A flirty printed dress is the perfect piece to wear, and you can accessorize it with fun tribal add-ons like big earrings and a feathery headband. Pair your patterned frock with strappy sandals—just make sure they’re flats!—so you can endure the weekend (or two) of music without getting your toes battered and bruised. Look like you’re a native Cali girl in these trendy pieces:

Photo: Splash NewsAfter seeing Josh Hutcherson on the red carpet at the People’s Choice Awards, we had to bump him up from Up-and-Coming Hollywood Cutie to Crush of the Week. The 19-year-old has been named “The One to Watch in 2012″ by MTV and not only do we agree, we’re sure we’re to have a great time watching him. The Kentucky native—who moved to Cali to seek out acting opportunities—has not one but four movies coming out in 2012. Besides The Hunger Games, in which he plays Peeta, a tribute from District 12, he will also appear in Red Dawn, a remake of a thriller from the 80′s, Carmel, and Journey 2: The Mysterious Island, the sequel to the 2008 sci-fi adventure flick Journey to the Center of the Earth. Josh doesn’t seem to mind a crazy promoting and shooting schedule, telling MTV that “2012 is going to be a really big year [and] I’m looking forward to it, [There's going to be] a lot of press, a lot of traveling with that. I’m excited for ‘The Hunger Games’ to come out and see how that does and hopefully get started on the second one.” The nineteen year old also prides himself on the movies that he’s been in and counts himself lucky to not have been in any movies that “suck.” “That’s the most important thing for my career,” he told MTV “to choose the right material and to choose the characters that I care about and stories I want to tell. So that’s kind of how I’ve gone about my career since I was 9, more or less.” Luckily for us, all the hype surrounding The Hunger Games has led to Josh doing some great interviews, including sharing his fear of spiders, his love of basketball and what he looks for in a girl. He told Celebuzz, “ For me it’s all about being true to yourself and being real. I think if a girl tries to be something she’s not to try to make you think otherwise of her, then that’s just unattractive. I’d much rather be with somebody that’s naturally who they are.” There you have it ladies, be yourselves, and our Crush of the Week just might love you as much as we love him.
