The Duchess of Cambridge is seriously the queen of style. Less than 24 hours after giving birth, the brand-new mum was radiant as she stepped out of the hospital in a blue-and-white polka-dot Jenny Packham dress. Although everyone is dying to get Kate Middleton's post-pregnancy style, the dress is unfortunately a custom, one-of-a-kind piece and will not be sold.

With the release of Blue Jasmine, Cate Blanchett has been on everyone's radar. This past week, her outfits have been complete perfection—from the light pink Balenciaga dress and nude pumps she wore in NYC—to the black and white drop-waist Alexander McQueen gown to the film's LA premiere.

Rita Ora tends to bounce back and forth when it comes to her style choices, but she nails it with this light-pink/gray silk jumpsuit. Arriving at London's The Box nightclub in the long-sleeved Viktor & Rolf get-up, she accessorizes with coordinating heels, hoop earrings, and red lips.

Singer Ciara arrives with her boyfriend Future to her Exclusive Album Release Party at Finale in NYC. While she may have had "sexy" in mind when choosing a leather tube top and black overalls, Ciara definitely missed the mark.
