ElleGirl- It’s no secret that Emma Watson is the world’s most sought-after nerd. After her portrayal as Harry Potter‘s Hermione Granger, the bushy-headed, bright-eyed book worm, Watson was launched into a life of fame. And while HP was her baseboard for a fabulous career, she’s made a name for herself outside the series. Slinking away from the geeky girl she played onscreen, Watson slowly began to explore the magical world of fashion. Audiences found themselves anticipating Potter premieres solely to examine her newest sartorial ventures. When she announced her plans to be the face of Burberry in 2009, we were none too surprised. So now we pay homage to beautifully blossomed starlet with the first-rate ensembles she’s so elegantly worn over the years.

HIT THE DOT
We’ve hit the dot in this week’s Play the Polka collection! Last week’s pure white blank canvas pieces will always be strong in fashion, but this week’s polka dots give you material to shake up your style. This timeless, alluring print with a strong retro feel (think Bianca Jagger) has you seeing spots in fun, fresh silhouettes. Inspired by Marc Jacobs’ seeming interpretations of Jodie Foster in Taxi Driver and Sonia Rykiel’s eternally playful French flair, this bright personality will lift any heavily “curated” conversation. You’ll be far from a wallflower in the crowd on your gallery rounds in these elegant, delicate wares.
Make people smile with these pieces and call attention to your fun, fresh style!
Amber.Stardoll- Luckily for Harry Potter fans, actor Tom Felton isn't nearly as evil as his Harry Potter character Draco Malfoy. He's quite the opposite actually! Fans who had been camping out for days for the New York premiere on Monday were all given a slight heart attack when Tom suddenly showed up and started handing out pizzas! Tom later tweeted that he enjoyed his role as a pizza delivery boy, and that he was sorry he couldn't get them out to everyone as he was getting told to leave. He also sent out a tweet telling everyone to drink lots of water and stay hydrated!
Aw! British celebrities are so polite and considerate compared to American ones, aren't they?

- Have you seen the latest celebrity makeover? Kim Kardashian has left her dark brown, almost black hair, for a lighter color and we love it on her! Maybe not the biggest makeover but it’s a change and it’s very suitable for the warm weather. Kim said herself that she said she dyed it for the summer and that she feels younger! Hmm..maybe we should do the same?
We love the color and think it was a good choice of Kim! Hope that Kris loves it as much as we do! (people)

Who: Blake Lively
What: BAFTA Brits To Watch event held at Belasco Theatre in L.A. on July 9
Wear: Marchesa dress, Lorraine Shwartz jewels, and Christian Louboutin heels
Blake Lively joined the Duke and Duchess at the BAFTA Brits to Watch charity event in LA this weekend wearing this one-shouldered Marchesa gown from the spring 2011 collection. The muted grey color did wonders for her bronzed glow, which—when taken together with the dress’ delicate embroidery and subtly sheer chiffon fabric—made it a radiant look on the elegant red carpet. Lively, who typically opts for more form-fitting looks (and has every reason to flaunt her fab figure), covered up for a change and completed her look with Lorraine Shwartz jewels and Christian Louboutin heels. Her loose wind-swept up do added to the easy elegance of the whole package.

Left to right, Cy Twombly's Leda and the Swan & Revlon's fall Expressionists collection. Forget obscure French new wave films or epic journeys through the Middle East—for fall, Revlon’s Global Artistic Director, Gucci Westman, was simply inspired by art. Specifically, the expressionist exhibit on at MOMA this summer. To better explain, Westman invited a group of editors to walk through the exhibit. ”I was inspired by Abstract Expressionism when the artists, particularly the New York artists, evolved from black and white pieces and began experimenting with color,” she said, breezing past Franz Kline’s classics, Arman’s I Still Use Brushes, and her favorite Twomblys like Leda and the Swan. “I came to MOMA to be inspired every day for a week,” she said. “I took in different pieces, moods, at different times of day. I loved the artists’ use of color, textures and compositions.” As a result, you won’t find your basic fall browns. Instead, Westman blends gossamer hues in sheer, glittering textures into those deep, traditional autumn colors. Westman pointed out that her use of sparkles in varying sizes and textures was directly influenced by the artists. For example, Westman combined four beautiful glosses and a lipstick, including a deep wine shade into a limited edition palette called “Bordeaux in the Snow,” a shout-out to Revlon’s iconic “Cherries in the Snow” lipstick. Contrastingly, the collection includes a ‘60s-inspired super-light creamy pink and beige hybrid that we swear must be the exact shade Lisa Houseman was shouting for in Dirty Dancing: “Where is my beige. Iridescent. Lipstick.” Four nail polishes round out the collection: three uber-sparkly sheers in light pink, bright blue and fuchsia tempered by one neutral warm greige shade that’s “inspired by Cy Twombly’s creamy shades,” Westman said. “How he sees people, it’s such an innocence.” Expressionists By Gucci Westman for Revlon will hit stores in October.

- Prince William and Kate Middleton attended the BAFTA Brits To Watch Gala yesterday, held at the Belasco Theatre in Los Angeles. They looked stunning and showed all the Hollywood celebrities how to work the red carpet with class! Kate wore a lilac Alexander McQueen gown and Will wore a classic black tux. We love to see the royal couple in new environment among big stars like Jennifer Garner and Tom Hanks! What did you guys think of Will and Kate’s BAFTA arrival?

When beautiful celebs get kids we of course expect them to be just as beautiful and successful as their parents. And in some strange way that is also what happens! How cute isn’t Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes daughter Suri? And we think that Kingston Rossdale is so cool, just like his mom Gwen Stefani! We can’t wait until they grow up and to se what will happen to them! Maybe some of them will get together or be big movie stars? That would be so fun!

- Then we got just the thing for you! At U2's concert in Nashville, USA on the 2th of June, one hopeful fan held up a sign saying "Blind Guitar Player. Bring Me Up." Lead singer Bono, being the kind-hearted person he is, obviously couldn't refuse the fan's request. He brought the fan up on stage at the end of the show - and what followed next can be seen in the video below!
It's enough to melt even the coldest of hearts!
