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.

Solange Knowles attends the Blue Jasmine New York premiere at MOMA in a complete Prada ensemble. The retro, floral-embellished shirt and skirt set keep the singer looking casual and cool.

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.

Piper Perabo visits SiriusXM's NYC studios in unflattering and ill-fitting leather shorts, a mismatched white peasant-style top, and crazy cobalt blue heels.

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.

Typically well-dress actress Fan Bingbing has a fashion faux-pas moment as she attends the "One Night Surprise" press conference in Beijing. She chooses a neon-pink sequined mini, embellished with an oversize peace sign from Ashish's Fall 2012 collection.

Unsurprisingly, Rihanna chooses a cut-out, skin-tight red leopard onesie to wear to the Roberto Cavalli Store in London. While her new gray hair may be great, Ri-Ri's clothing has been taking a walk on the wild side—and not in a good way.
