Here’s a picture of Stephanie Pratt looking uber chic and sexy while attending the tribute party for DJ AM.

The lady looks good in green, that much I can say. I love the pieces she chose and put together too. The bag looks very unique; and I love how she paired the bright green dress with muted platform gladiators.

The sandals are by YSL; it’s called the Hamptons Platform Sandals. You can get the exact same pair at BlueFly. It also comes in Dark Brown color, but with thinner platforms:

Hot or Not? Amy Smart in Open Toe Booties

The earliest memory I have of Amy Smart was when she appeared in Felicity; you know, the teen drama show with Keri Russel as the main character (come to think of it, that’s where I first saw Jennifer Garner too). Ok, I think I just gave away my age here, because that show happened a long time ago.

Now back to Amy. The blond cutie was spotted with Chris Evans the other week; the two went to Cirque club in London and I just couldn’t help but notice how Amy was dressed that night.

Tell me, what do you think of her look? OR more precisely, do you think she chose the right pair of shoes to go with the outfit?

Actually if you ask me, part of me thinks she looks kind of cool with it, but another part of me also thinks a different pair would have looked better.

If you think she looks hot the way she is and you think the booties are perfect, then you will probably love these:

Top: Via Spiga Liberty, on sale for US$99; Steven Maiya, US$190

Bottom: Michael Kors MK13031, on sale for US$447; L.A.M.B. Quintessa, on sale for US$224

You can shop for these sandal booties at Zappos.

Leighton Meester is Lovely in Lace Up Sandals

Kim Kardashian is not the only hot celebrity who looks lovely in lace-up sandals, Gossip Girl Leighton Meester does too.

Unlike Kim’s neutral colored Louboutins, Leighton’s pair is in a wonderfully rich wine color from Derek Lam. She was spotted wearing it on her way to the Gossip Girl set last month (July 26)

The sandals are actually on sale at Saks for US$316, that’s more than 50% off its original retail of US$790. The wine color is already out though, so you will only have the Black and Grey colors to choose from (visit SaksFifthAvenue.com).

Selena Gomez: America’s Got Talent Vamp or Victim?

I have always admired Selena Gomez’s elegant red carpet style that when I saw these photos, it totally caught me by surprise.

That’s how Selena looked when she performed at the America’s Got Talent show last July 15.

What do you think? Vampy or fashion victim?

Personally, I don’t think she’s a fashion victim, but the outfit does look a little off. Don’t get me wrong, the dress isn’t bad and those metallic red and silver gladiator sandals are stunning but the two don’t seem to work together.

You know how some things are meant to be? Like they complement? Well, this combo isn’t one of them.

Again, the sandals are quite pretty. It got me quite interested that I went looking for it online. I tried and tried and tried to ID it, but couldn’t find any information on it. I think it would look better with a dress that’s more body skimming though; something sexy rather than the girly and flouncy balloon dress she wore it with.

Because I currently have no clue where you can get it (Selena’s sandals), I am giving you the next best thing instead – gladiator sandals in red hot red.

Cheryl Cole sure is looking hot these days. The singer and X-Factor judge was spotted out and about in The Grove shopping center in LA last August 5 looking like this:

Looking at this picture, you wouldn’t think she just had malaria. But she had actually just recovered from one.  And check out those legs, so toned and tanned; no wonder those tan colored gladiator wedges are looking so good from this angle.  She was able to rock the pair like it should be.

I couldn’t find any information on the sandals, but if you like the look, you can try any of these gladiator wedges from Zappos:

Row 1: Baby Phat Lily, US$80; Diba Bul Let, US$69

Row 2: Miss Sixty Tala, US$150; True Religion Ilene, US$145
