Jessica Simpson’s Style Award, Blake Lively’s New Hair and More!

Apr 27, 2011 @ 5:35 pm

Jessica Simpson took home the Style Icon of the Year award at Us Weekly‘s annual Hot Hollywood party in L.A. last night, and she seemed pretty surprised by the win. “I’m not really that stylish, but I do know how to make a woman look beautiful, and when I want to look great, I know how to make it happen,” Simpson (in Etro) told reporters. She posed with Kathy Griffin (in Dolce & Gabbana) on the carpet, who told us, “I love Jessica Simpson! I’ve known her for a long time and she looks adorable.” Back in New York, Blake Lively showcased her newly-red locks, while Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos took in the Tribeca Film Festival.

We loved Tina Fey‘s spot-on Saturday Night Live impression of Sarah Palin (left), and now another actress is portraying the famous former Alaskan Governor: Julianne Moore! The actress (right) plays the politician in HBO’s upcoming film Game Change, which tracks the 2008 election and is produced by Tom Hanks. Moore went for a full Palin makeover, ditching her red hair for a brunet updo, rimless glasses, and lip gloss. And the similarity calls for a double take! But we want to hear from you! Who looks like Palin most—Moore or Fey? Vote below!

Fergie’s Favorite Pedicure Color and Stiletto-Wearing Tips

Apr 27, 2011 @ 3:35 pm

Fergie’s new lineup of spring footwear is out, and it’s full of cute open-toe options that will leave your toenails entirely exposed. That’s why we caught up with the Black Eyed Pea at her Fergie Footwear Macy’s debut in New York last week to find out her go-to pedicure shade for spring. “I wear nude colors a lot,” Fergie told InStyle. “I wear this one by OPI called Samoan Sand, it’s almost the color of your skin.”(Find it for $5 at Amazon.com.) Fergie also let us in on another secret—even pop stars aren’t immune to stiletto wobbles! “Oh, I’ve fallen on my face several times,” she said of her high-heel experiences. Her stay upright advice? “Put grips on the bottom!” She doesn’t include high-risk shoes in her line, though. “These new shoes are for a girl, like me, who is going to buy a pair of shoes and try to wear them in different ways,” she said. Fergie’s new collection is available at FergieShoes.com now. Click through the gallery for more shots of Fergie in her hottest heels!
