In the wrong hands, tie-dye skinny jeans could easily spell fashion disaster. But the stylish star gets it right by balancing the trendiness of the J Brand denim with a classic white blazer and grey tee - topped off with accessories that have some shine & bite. We created our take on her look with a See by Chloe blazer, grey Fahri tee, shiny McQ belt, and Lulu Guiness clutch from My-Wardrobe.com. Sephora Brand "Colorful Mono Eyeshadow" and Dior Addict Lip Polish in Fresh Expert (a sheer pink) both available at Sephora.com.

Traditionally worn in Morocco by men - and more recently adopted in the mid-1950s by local women - this long, hooded North African kaftan was even thought to have inspired the Jedi and Jawa robes of Star Wars. On the streets of Rabat, where they pass by in a sea of striped, printed, and colored linen & silk, it's hard not to look at these chic, hooded figures and figure that the Force is indeed with them. GlobalPost.com recently shot this fun video of the stylish Moroccan locals rocking their robes:

A positive side effect of the bleak economic situation is the well-deserved death of the "it" bag. Fashionistas with any sense have finally come to their senses about paying 10s of thou$and$ for something like a new, exotic-skin Birkin (despicably, Hermes even farms crocodiles in Australia for the sole purpose of turning them into handbags). Scaling back on overinflated bags also leaves room in the budget for something far better...more shoes! So bag the herd mentality, and invest instead in cute sandals like this
lipstick red pair by Robert Clergerie:
they're well-made, easy to walk in, and most importantly, scream French Girl chic.

What's not to love about the Prada shorts and boots, snarly attitude, and, best of all: super-pointy "bra" hand-fashioned by the stylist from gaffer tape (we don't suggest trying this at home). Interestingly, this is for the "Beauty Issue" of V Magazine, as shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott in London. The inspiration is Madonna circa her True Blue era, and features Diaz toughening up her image by taking on new roles that don't play to her signature "golden girl" side:

Coco Chanel viewed Venice as a city of great intrigue - simultaneously dramatic and fragile...much like herself. The Chanel Makeup Studio used their imagination to bring this water-themed city to life for Fall 2009 in a palette reflective of its shimmery facades, mosaics, and sparkly aquatic lagoons. Chanel's Global Creative Director, Peter Philips, recently created Venetian-inspired runway looks for the 2009/10 Cruise show - held on the beaches of Venice - with tones of rich sienna, deep rose, mysterious greys, and dusky greens that can be softened for day or emboldened come evening. Purchasing info at Chanel.com.
