Brownie Points

Judging style in the spotlight in a very guilty pleasure indeed, but rewarding style just seems to keep the karma balance. So rewarding brownie points seems like a good solution, and we're I'm talking chocolate brownie points, because if anyone needs them its babymamas and hollywood skinny minnies.

Rachel Bilson can always be relied on in the style stakes. She gets brownie points here for the classic street chic look she always rocks, and those fantastic jeans. Not exactly three quarter length, but bravely ankle skimming, and the zips keep them modern. She always vaguely reminds me of Natalie Portman for her petite figure and her sensible head. You always know that in Hollywood, a girl with a big, sturdy dog can be trusted...

Christina Aguilera gets two brownie points purely for the colour of that dress, and the contrast with the pink lipstick. Although she verges on Prom naff, you've got to love a bit of Christina tackiness, y'all! Besides, babymamas always get the benefit of the doubt.

Recently, Keira Knightley's pap shots have made her look gaunt and transparent. Don't let the rare london sun and floaty dress fool you, but here Keira looks gorgeous, in a dress that on anyone else would look plain and uninspiring. She gets brownie points purely for the sunglasses, they make a nice antidote to those Raybans..



Diane Kruger has recently shown everyone her "style capabilities" and this outfit is no exception. The tee is folky and humble rather than fussy. Usually I'm not a fan of the jeans-in-boots look, but Diane is possibly the only person who can get away with it because she seems to understand that they need to blend rather than contrast. Top points for the bag, it's the right mix of scruffy and luxe. And Ohh, thats not..is it? Is she wearing a headband?

Thandie Newton and Kate Bosworth both graced the red carpet in this pink preen number, in the space of 24 hours, but Kate always looks her best when she keeps things simple, and body con certainly compliments her. Helena Christensen is the ultimate MILF in my opinion; she has that girl-on-girl stare, which is pretty much similar to the attitude that Chloe Sevigny exudes.
