Trend Alert: Winter White like Kate Middleton and Angelina Jolie





It may not be practical but it IS stunning. I'm talking about the hue of the moment: winter white. There's something so elegant, chic and eye-catching about the look spotted on the Burberry runway and embraced by today's red carpet fixtures like Angelina Jolie, Kim Kardashian, pint-size fashionista, Suri Cruise and Princess-to-Be Kate Middleton.



















It turns the white-after-labor-day rule on its head with a warm tone of cream that's fitting for the season. When wearing winter white, look for textures like wool and cashmere and styles like long-sleeved dresses that are appropriate for the weather.









While some celebs have rocked the look with white accessories (gasp!), I prefer rich hues of purple and red that add a playful pop of color. For a clean look, nude pumps work beautifully.











What do you think of winter white? Will you wear it?

GLAM OR SHAM?: Kim Kardashian, Nicole Richie and Christina Aguillera at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art Gala







While the rest of us were shopping, doing laundry or hitting the beach yesterday, Hollywood luminaries were gathering for "Unmasking" a black-tie gala at The Los Angeles County Museum of Art (LACMA).





The event took place Saturday night and several Glamazons were in attendance from Kim Kardashian to Nicole Richie. Christina Aguillera performed hits "Imagine," "You Lost Me," "Beautiful," and "Fighter," backed by a 20-piece orchestra. Would've killed to here her performance!



The gowns, admittedly, didn't impress me as much...except for Kim Kardashian's that is.



Nicole Richie chose a Marchesa tulle white and black gown with embroidery and ribbon detail. While I am obsessed with Marchesa's glorious ballerina-ready dresses, Nicole Richie's gown isn't the most flattering on her.









Christina Aguillera wore a silk chiffon champagne gown by Atelier Versace with a plunging neckline and gold bead detailing around the waist.







She wore red lips and platinum blonde curls. I am soo not a fan. The hair, boobage and champagne hue makes the dress look tacky to me.













Kim Kardashian stole the show in a one-shoulder, peach gown with draped gatherings along the waist. She wore her hair in an elegant updo. Stunning!









What do you think about these looks? Who was GLAM and who was a SHAM?
