Sporty and fashion-forward Gwen Stefani and classic fashion experimenter Gwyneth Paltrow offer women two distinctive fashion models to emulate. Both Gwen and Gwyneth are fashion risk-takers, and their personal choices pay off for them, on the red carpet, or while enjoying casual family time.

Breaking the Rules
Gwen and Gwyneth can break the rules and wear bone white shoes anytime of the year. Both of these fashion icons could wear the same shoes and build an outfit around them that would be uniquely their own. Gwen Stefani could choose her favorite black and white combination, or a patriotic red, white and blue outfit. She's also known to go glam, and these shoes would add the right amount of Hollywood femininity to her harder-edged outfits.

Travel in Style
You know Gwen Stefani isn't trying to shove all her make up and accessories in some boring purse or overnight bag, so why should you? You don't have to be a rock star to appreciate a cute rocking Hurley Top Forty Make Up/Train Case to store your overnight accessories, ideal for a sleepover or weekend getaway.

Gwyneth Rocks the Dress
Nobody rocks dresses with more elegance and class than Gwyneth Paltrow. Even when she pushes the fashion envelope, in a white dress with black lacy trim resembling lingerie, or opts for an electric blue and silver number, she always looks completely confident and happening.

Staples for Gwen and Gwyneth
Both women are equally comfortable-looking and chic in leather coats or cozy cardigans. These fashionable moms layer their cardigans with dresses or casual wear when taking their little ones out and about. They both also know how to jazz up an outfit with one bright color piece, from a bag to a pair of boots.

Rock your own wardrobe staples, like Gwen and Gwyneth.

Celebrities aren't the only people who set the fashion trends in Hollywood. Celebrity kids also make fashion trends just as much as their parents. You will never see a celebrity kid wearing some old shirt from Wal-Mart or the local discount department store. No, celebrity kids wear name brand designer clothing that cost more than all the clothing I have put together. One of the trendiest kids in Hollywood is Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes's daughter Suri. Even at two years old she is making a fashion statement. Suri Cruise has been photographed wearing many different outfits and different designers. One of her favorite designers is Juicy Couture. She was seen wearing a black sundress by Juicy Couture strolling around New York City with her mom.

Another celebrity kid that makes fashion trends in Hollywood is Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale's son, Kingston. Kingston can be seen wearing tons of different rocker clothes from his mom's line called L.A.M.B. From his cargo pants to his rocker tees, he sets the trends for little boys in Hollywood. Other celebrity kids that are also high on the fashion trends are Heidi Klum's three children, Tori Spelling's son Liam, and all of Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt's children.

So, what is going on with the actual celebrities in Hollywood? Well it seems like baggy, boyfriend cut jeans are back in style. Both Victoria Beckham and Katie Holmes have been seen wearing their husband's jeans. Now, no one is going out and telling you to wear your husband's jeans out of the house, but it seems like the boyfriend cut jeans are an alternative to the skinny jeans. Other celebrities such as Reese Witherspoon and Cameron Diaz have also sported baggier jeans in the past couple weeks. When trying to achieve this celebrity look, make sure that the jeans are not too baggy and that you don't wear them out for a nice evening or date. Boyfriend jeans are for casual strolls around town. Pair them with a gray t-shirt like Reese Witherspoon did and you have a cute and casual day look.

The Hollywood stork was working overtime these past couple weeks delivering babies to celebrities from all over.

Matt Damon and his wife, Luciana, welcomed baby #3 on August 20th to their growing family. The couple has two other children - Alexia, 10 and Isabella, 2. Their new baby was named Gia Zavala. With the addition of his new daughter, Matt Damon is really outnumbered now, being the only male in a houseful of girls.

And who would've thought that Latin superstar, Ricky Martin, would pull a Michael Jackson and actually hire a surrogate mother to carry his children for him? The twin babies were delivered just a few short weeks ago and they are already under Ricky Martin's care. News of Ricky Martin becoming a single father overnight spread like wildfire and it seems that everybody has an opinion. No one really saw this one coming, but we do wish Ricky and his new babies the best of luck!

Gwen Stefani finally popped! I don't know about you, but it was getting almost painful for me to view pictures of how big Gwen Stefani had gotten. I know it had to be extremely uncomfortable for her as well. Nevertheless, Gwen remained stylish to the end, wearing maternity dresses in typical Gwen Stefani prints and colors. Their new baby boy, Zuma Nesta Rock Rossdale, caused a lot of controversy with his name, but apparently the name has special meaning to the Gavin and Gwen, so that's really all that matters.

Jason Lee, the star of My Name is Earl, welcomed his first child with girlfriend, Ceren Alkac, on August 10th.The couple are now proud parents of a new baby girl. Jason Lee has another son, Pilot Inspektor, with his ex-fiancee, Beth Riesgraf.

And finally, Victoria's Secret model, Alessandra Ambrosio, gave birth to her first child, a beautiful baby girl. She and boyfriend, Jamie Mazur, named their daughter Anja Louise Ambrosio Mazur. Models must be superhuman because Alessandra claims that pregnancy and motherhood have been easy. She's even planning to be back on the runway by November.

Congrats to all the new parents!

Terrence Howard is releasing his debut album this fall - it's said to be a mix of pop-rock and jazz tunes. It kind of makes you wonder what an Oscar-nominated actor is doing attempting to break into the music biz. I mean, we all know how well it worked out for Woody Allen 's muse, Scarlett Johanssen, right?

Mario Lopez and Karina Smirnoff broke up a couple weeks ago, but the real reason for the break-up is just coming to light now. Yes, there was cheating involved, but it wasn't the Dancing with the Star pro that cheated. Believe it or not, it was actually Mario Lopez and it was with a Hooters waitress! Apparently he and Miss Hooters (Meagan Cooper) have been sneaking around for a whole year. What a pig! IF he was going to cheat, he could've at least done it with someone a little more A-list... like long-time friend Eva Longoria.

One of Denise Richards' frenemies has come forward claiming that Denise has been outright lying when she says that her and *Heather Locklear*'s friendship had ended long before she hooked up with Richie Sambora. This "friend" has phone records that prove that Richards was calling Richie while she and Heather were still friends.

American Idol judge Paula Abdul is single once again. She had been dating restaurateur J.T. Torregiani, but apparently they split months ago. He must've caught an episode of "Hey Paula!" on Bravo one night. That'd be enough to send any guy running for the hills.

Gwen Stefani and Gavin Rossdale are expecting baby #2. They don't even know the sex of the baby yet, but they do know this - they're having a goth baby. So what better color for the nursery than black? At least that's what Rossdale said during a recent interview on E! Let's hope he just has a really weird sense of humor.

And it looks like Nicole Ritchie and Joel Madden may not be heading down the aisle just yet. What's the hold up? Well, according to the Enquirer, Joel is waiting for Nicole to covert to Christianity before they marry so they can raise baby Harlow with the same Christian beliefs that he grew up with. Somebody needs to tell Joel that knocking your girlfriend up before marriage isn't exactly encouraged by Christianity either.

A big trend among celebrities right now is wearing a another person's face on their t-shirt. The person on the t-shirt is usually a well-known pop idol or famous celebrity from the past.

High School Musical's Ashley Tisdale was seen sporting a yellow t-shirt with a picture of Kate Moss on it. Rachel Bilson choose to keep it old Hollywood and wore a t-shirt of Marilyn Monroe. Naomi Campbell wore a t-shirt that had Prince on the front of it.

Now here's the ultimate in narcissism, Paris Hilton has been seen wearing a shirt that has her picture on the front. Give me a break. Did you forget what you looked like, that you had to wear a shirt with your own picture on it? These shirts are not cheap at all. A Steve McQueen picture shirt from Dolce and Gabbana retails for $245.

Another trend that is staying strong with celebrities is the wearing of vests by women.

Kim Kardashian was seen wearing a fitted black vest with a white tank underneath. She kept it casual with a pair of nice jeans. If you want to wear this trend, keep the vest fitted and wear it with a longer shirt underneath. There is no need to expose your stomach with this trend. Mischa Barton has been seen wearing vest quite a few times also. Vest can be seen all over the runway, worn several different ways. It can be seen paired with a dress or pants. You can even get away with wearing a vest to the office. Pair it with a cute pair of trousers or a pencil skirt and you have a perfect office appropriate outfit that looks super trendy and cute.

You can easily find cheaper vests at the mall at your favorite store and do not have to splurge on a designer one. Make sure that it fits well and you are good to go.

The last celebrity trend that we will discuss today is the maxi dress. A maxi dress is a long dress that hits the ankle or the floor. Tons of celebrities are sporting these dresses. The most popular celebrity that can be seen in maxi dresses is Angelina Jolie.

While she is pregnant with her twins, it seems like almost every picture you see of her, she is in a maxi dress. The maxi dress is her staple fashion piece. Another pregnant celebrity, Gwen Stefani, has also been seen wearing quite a few maxi dresses around.

The maxi dress is not just for pregnant celebrities though. Kristen Bell wore a blue and white maxi dress to her movie premier. Nicole Richie and Jennifer Love Hewitt also have been seen wearing maxi dresses, as well as Lauren Conrad for the Hills. The maxi dress can be strapless, a halter top, or spaghetti straps. Most are patterned with bright colors or floral. Although, this trend is not for everybody, it can be worn both casual or dressy. If you want to wear a maxi dress, you may have to try on a couple different styles and make sure that the dress is not too long on you. Also, you do not want a completely shapeless dress, as you may look like you are wearing a muumuu and not the latest fashion trend.
