Nina Dobrev celebrated her stylist, Ilaria Urbinati, at THR‘s Top Stylist Luncheon, which is why she chose to wear this strawberry MaxMara pantsuit—a look she said she chose to reference the first time she and Urbinati worked together. “I wanted to pay homage to her. The first job Ilaria and I worked together on was the 2011 Emmys, when I wore Donna Karan‘s red dress, so I wanted to honor that,” Dobrev told InStyle.com. So sweet! And she went on to say why their partnership, which includes Elie Saab, Monique Lhuillier, and Naeem Khan dresses, works so well: “If something doesn’t work, even if it’s a big designer look, she’s not going to make me wear it just because. It’s whatever I feel best in and what is event-appropriate. That’s why I love her so much.” If only every closet came with an Ilaria!

A new episode of The Good Wife premiered on Sunday, in which Julianna Margulies’s character Alicia Florrick had to play hardball at work (cutting associates’ hours) and at home (helping her husband at the debate). For the story arc, costume designer Daniel Lawson wanted to keep her look neutral, with only one big pop at her husband’s debate, in which he put her in a bright red dress by No. 35 designer Andrea Cohen. “I wanted her to look neutral all episode, and then really pop,” Lawson said. “I wanted her to overpower the opponent, Maddie, visually. There is definitely something political about her look.” Get all the details on last night’s looks in the gallery, and follow Lawson on Twitter @GoodWifeFashion for the latest updates.

When legendary singer Barbra Streisand took to the stage to perform “The Way We Were” at last night’s Academy Awards (for the first time in 36 years), she was glittering from head-to-toe in a look by a designer who just happens to be her best friend: Donna Karan. “We’re like sisters!” Karan told InStyle.com at the Governors Ball after-party. “It was really a collaboration to celebrate her shining star, and her lightness. That’s why it was black and gold. And then when we saw the set, it was one of those things that very rarely happen in life, it’s very rare that you get that pull. And she just radiated.” Karan named the black, asymmetrical dress “City Lights,” a construction of chiffon layers encrusted with matte gold sequins and beads complete with a long-sleeve capelet. Watch Streisand perform the iconic song as an homage to composer Marvin Hamlisch (which won the Oscar for Best Original Song in 1973) here!

New York Fashion Week is nearly behind us, with only one show left: Marc Jacobs‘s snowstorm-delayed fall 2013 presentation (which you can watch), and that means the star-studded parties are winding down as well. Zoe Saldana joined menswear brand Gents founder Josh Reed at Gramercy Terrace for the launch party for his debut collection. “Congrats to @GaryMantoosh and associates on @Gentsco launch tonight,” the actress tweeted at the party. Meanwhile Donna Karan celebrated her fall 2013 collection (which included some of her revived 90s looks!) with friends at an after party, held in her Urban Zen Foundation’s Stephan Weiss Studios.
