    It may just be the trickiest tool in your makeup bag: the eyeliner. The problem? We still can’t stop buying it! There are just too many variations and shades for us to go sans liner. But the question always arises: do I need eyeliner, and how do I apply it? It appears to be a cakewalk, right? Glide liner on upper and lower lashes, bam, done. Well, not quite.

    Who: Olivia Wilde
    What: World premiere of Cowboys and Aliens World at Comic-Con 2011, San Diego, CA
    Wear: Dolce & Gabbana lace dress, Carrera y Carrera jewels

    Olivia Wilde has come a long way since her supporting role on television’s The O.C. The American actress/model, appearing alongside Daniel Craig as the leading lady of Jon Favreau’s upcoming blockbuster Cowboys and Aliens, looked stunning at the world premiere in San Diego, California, wearing a black sheer Dolce & Gabbana floral-embroidered lace gown. With her brilliant blue eyes and flawless smile, Wilde could have arrived in cowboy boots or astronaut gear and still look ravishing, but the sweeping floor length gown and Carrera y Carrera jewels were a perfect fit for this budding star.

    It seems that Oscar nominations, rigorous academic pursuits, and a major book publication just ain’t enough for this Renaissance man. James Franco, who is either schizophrenic, an overachiever or leisure-phobic (most likely all three), is most recently adding “recording artist” to his already jam-packed CV. Kalup and Franco, a musical collaboration between the multi-talented film star and performance artist Kalup Linzy, released their second track, ‘Turn it Up,’ on July 12. The duo also recently released their first music video for the track ‘Rising.’ Unfortunately for those excited about this fresh batch of James Franco eye-candy, the avant-garde video predominantly features four minutes of a wigged Linzy crooning on top of psychedelic visuals. If you’re curious, check it out here, but don’t say we didn’t warn you. Polyester wigs and trippy visuals aside, the tracks, released on Dutty Artz (yes, this is a real record label) are not half bad.

    Crossovers are not uncommon in the entertainment industry. We’ve seen singing sensations like Justin Timberlake and Beyonce successfully merge onto the acting scene. And we’ve seen actors and actresses dabble in singing careers (Zooey Deschanel, Scarlett Johansson, and Selena Gomez to name a few). It seems there’s a new sensation on the rise though, and that’s the transition from the catwalk to Boardwalk. Models are trying their hand at this part of showbiz and doing quite well.

    It’s not the guest stars and the cameos that keep us coming back to Entourage season after season, but they certainly keep things interesting. While our main boys play characters on the HBO program, which follows the L.A. exploits of movie star Vince Chase and his entourage of best friends, the celebrity guest stars play themselves—albeit highly dramatized versions. Every episode, a new selection of Hollywood A-listers caricature themselves in their hilarious appearances, and we can’t wait to see who this (final!) season brings. (Hint: Alex Rodriguez and Charlie Sheen are rumored to be in the mix!) To prepare for the season 8 premiere this Sunday, we’ve listed our favorite celeb appearances of seasons past:

    Here at ELLEgirl, our sense of fashion is inspired by everything from coolest street style to the most coveted runway looks. Today our senses have been provoked by one of Emma Stone’s many 2011 flicks, The Help. The movie’s based on the best-selling novel by Kathryn Stockett (her first, actually) set in the tumultuous 1960s. It follows the life of Skeeter (Stone), a sizzling Southerner and recent college grad, who’s bound and determined to become a writer. In hopes of accomplishing her goal, Skeeter decides to interview the black women who have spent all their lives tending to upper class white families. Let’s just say she causes quite a ruckus in her little Mississippi town. The story of The Help is enough to invigorate and provoke viewers (and readers) with its controversial topics. Not only is the storyline stirring, but like we said, we can’t help but notice that fashion!

    Ray-Ban Wayfarer sunglasses are the coolest, trendiest shades right now, but did you know the style’s been around for almost 60 years? The style that was originally intended for pilots has been seen on the faces of everyone from politicians to movie-stars over the past half-century and has gained the title of most popular sunglasses of all-time. Here are a few of the super-cool shades biggest moments.

    You know what’s awesome about summer wear? The answer is that it’s lightweight. We love anything airy and breezy, especially during the season’s hottest weeks. We’re really digging these three lovely ladies and their summer style. They’re donning floral boho looks without coming off as frumpy—it’s all in the details: metallic hues, neon touches, and a spunky confidence. Camilla Belle is first up, wearing Miu Miu at a Miu Miu Presents Lucrecia Martel’s “Muta” event. She flaunts florals in a new and unique way. Instead of tiny flowers all over her dress, she goes big and bold with one print that trails all over the frock. Metallic heels were an excellent choice, brightening up the muted look. Choosing to go sans large amounts of jewelry was key in instrumenting her simple style.
