Two fashion icons to learn from in the fall season are Amanda Seyfried and Mischa Barton. Look to Amanda Seyfried for muted palettes, and round out the style with darker, vintage edges like Mishca Barton wears.

Amanda Seyfried
Amanda Seyfried has a secret. She's not the wide-eyed airhead from Mean Girls. She is a beautiful, wide-eyed and modern Alice in Wonderland, with an eye for sharp fashion. Soft colors and textures enhance her look, and she looks at home with touches of school-girl fashion in her ensembles.

Known for Mean Girls and Mama Mia! expect to see more of innocent beauty Amanda Seyfried in upcoming movies Jennifer's Body, Dear John, Letters to Juliet and A Woman of No Importance.

Start any Amanda Seyfried look with a pair of lace-up shoes. Try peep-toes or a pair of lace ups with chunky heels, and a posh metallic shine. A pair of gray, beige and barely-there pink plaid shorts with an attached fabric robe style belt with a beige, over-sized cardigan. Add a matching hat and bag, white t-shirt and a pair of white tights. Add long strands of gold chains or a pink pearl necklace. Shades of white, petal pink, gold, as well as soft tiny patterns are all at home in Amanda Seyfried's wardrobe.

Mischa Barton
Ageless beauty Mishca Barton, who has a look and air of sophistication and a worldly, almost ancient knowledge about her, has looks in stark contrast with doe-eyed Amanda Seyfried. Her look is more eclectic, with more black and more contrast. Mischa can pair a flowing and chiffon sky blue with black boots.

Mischa Barton returns to TV, proving there is life after The O.C. Mischa Barton stars in The Beautiful Life, as a model. The show is produced by former model Ashton Kutcher. Mischa Barton's own style, she claims is eclectic and she has a habit of shopping vintage. Adding vintage boots to a modern outfit elevates your fashion style to runway status.

With *Michael Jackson*'s tragic death, various media outlets have speculated about his fortune, his children and his untimely demise. Finally, after several days of uncertainty, it looks as though some of the controversy surrounding his death may come to an end. The details of his will are being ironed out in Court with his mother, Katherine, being a primary recipient of his estate. Also, the biological mother of his two oldest children, Prince I and Paris, is allegedly close to working out a custody settlement with her. With some of the Jackson drama winding down, it's time to take a look at what the rest of Hollywood is doing.

Hard-partying actress Mischa Barton may have finally hit rock bottom. The 23-year-old had been working on her career, starring in the upcoming movie Homecoming. Unfortunately, after calling police with a medical problem last week, Barton was transported to Cedars-Sinai Medical Center in Los Angeles and placed on a psychiatric hold. According to a rather vague statement by her rep, she has been hospitalized based on her doctor's advice and is resting. For now, her fans will just have to wait and see.

Gosselin enjoyed sporting his new badass Ed Hardy duds while smoking and drinking with his new gal pal in France.

It appears that celebrities are getting back to the feminine and flirty fashion trends. One of the big fashion trends among celebrities right now are ruffles. In fact Reese Witherspoon was just seen wearing a dress with ruffles at a celebrity event. They key to wearing ruffles is to keep them from overpowering you. Like Reese's dress, a small ruffle around the neckline, especially in v-necks and lower necklines, add some feminine touches to the outfit without taking over the whole outfit. Ruffles don't have to be strictly on dresses though, they can also be on shirts, like this Robert Rodriguez one and even skirts. Other celebrities that have been wearing ruffles lately include, Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, Taylor Swift, and Keira Knightley.

Another feminine fashion trend that celebrities have been following are bows. It could be a simple bow on a shoe or handbag, or one that makes a slightly larger statement on a shirt or dress. A large bow can add some interest to an outfit, but if you are not comfortable with that, you can always opt for a smaller bow for a more sophisticated look. Such celebrities as Drew Barrymore and Eva Longoria Parker have been spotted wearing dresses with large and dramatic bows. On the other hand, Reese Witherspoon and Katie Holmes chose to sport outfits with small bows to add some detail and a flirty touch to their outfits.

The last feminine and flirt fashion trend that celebrities have been following is the lace trend. Lace is a great way to bring out a flirty and feminine side. You can choose from a full lace outfit to just a touch of lace here and there. Lace dresses have been seen all of the red carpet along with shirts and even skirts. Celebrities such as Anne Hathaway, Blake Lively, Emmy Rossum, and Thandie Newton have all worn lace dresses on the red carpet. When following the lace fashion trend make sure to keep the overall piece pretty subtle and not too sexy so that it does not look like lingerie. You want to be flirty and feminine not trashy.

As actress Anne Heche prepares for her arrival of her baby with boyfriend and former co-star, James Tupper, her divorce from her ex-husband Coley Laffoon has been finalized. An agreement on spousal support is what held up the divorce finalization. It has been agreed that Heche will pay Laffoon a lump sum of $515,000. She will also pay him $3,700 a month for child support for their son Homer, 6. Heche and Laffoon wed back in 2001 and filed for divorce in February 2007. She couldn't even wait until her divorce was finalized before getting pregnant with another man's baby?

It looks like Mischa Barton will be joining the dating scene again. Mischa blogged that she broke up with her musician boyfriend Luke Pritchard. She wrote on the blog, "I'm sure you guys are all going to hear about it soon enough, so I just wanted to tell you what is real first -- I broke up with Luke when I got to London." She went on, writing, "There was no cheating or anything terrible, the bad just started to outweigh the good, and a long-distance relationship is never an easy thing to do." The couple had been dating for a little over a year.

Ashlee Simpson has confirmed that she will be joining the cast of the new Melrose Place. Simpson tells US Magazine, "I look forward to being a part of its new generation of residents."

Simpson just recently had a guest appearance on CSI: New York with her husband Pete Wentz. She also had a reoccurring role on the drama 7th Heaven for two years when she was a teenager. They must be running out of original ideas for television shows as they keep resurrecting old ones and attempting to make them new.

A hot celebrity trend with accessories right now is the headband. Not just an ordinary headband, but the hippie-inspired headband. And celebrities like Nicole Richie, Mischa Barton, and Miley Cyrus aren't wearing the headbands on top of their head. Instead, the celebrity trend is to wear the headband across your forehead, over your hair. Now to many people this may look pretty funny and quite odd, but it seems like celebrities like to wear headbands this way. I don't know how this can be comfortable, as it would drive me crazy having the headband across my forehead. This may be one celebrity fashion trend that the average person may not be able to pull off as people may just think your headband slipped down off your head!

Celebrities are keeping warm this cold winter season with turtleneck dresses. This is one fashion trend that the average person can follow and feel comfortable in. Turtleneck dresses can be long, like the one that Beyonce wore, or on the shorter side, like the dress that Emma Roberts wore. One of the key things to remember if you are going to be pulling off this celebrity fashion trend is to make sure that the turtleneck dress is fitted. You don't want to leave the house in a big, shapeless turtleneck dress and look like your grandma wearing a big muumuu. Also, keep the dress simple, like an all black or red dress to make it look more sophisticated and trendy just like the black turtleneck dress by designer GF Ferre.

Celebrities also seem to be gravitating towards polka dots this season. Katie Holmes, Jennifer Connelly and Christina Ricci all have worn polka dot pieces of clothing in the past couple of weeks. This polka dot fashion trend can be worn big or small. You can keep it simple with a polka dot blouse like Jennifer Connelly's or try to go for more polka dots with a dress like Christina Ricci's. This is another fashion trend that should be played down. If you have a polka dot blouse, pair it with a plain black skirt. If you are wearing a polka dot dress, make sure to keep your accessories, shoes and hair simple.

Ankle boots are still all the rage this year with celebrities. They are being worn with dresses, skirts, jeans and trousers. You can find ankle boots all over the red carpet, and then go down to the hottest club in Hollywood and find them there too. The latest celebrities to follow the ankle boot craze are: Mischa Barton, Michelle Williams, Lindsay Lohan, Kate Moss, Rachel Bilson and Jessica Simpson. If you aren't that sure about wearing ankle boots like celebrities do, then opt for a black pair, like the ones from Calvin Klein, because wearing black will not call that much attention to them. You can still be in style with the celebrity fashion trend but just downplayed a little.

It appears that leopard print has not gone out of style with celebrities. It can be quite tricky wearing leopard print and getting it right, which may be why celebrities have stylists to help them. If you are shy about wearing leopard print, try just wearing a small piece of leopard print. Do what Keira Knightley did and wear a leopard print scarf with an outfit. Or try what Rachel Bilson wore and match a leopard print cardigan with jeans. For the daring person, you can try to pull a Claudia Schiffer and wear a dress that has leopard print all over it. Whatever style you choose, just remember to rock it out like a celebrity would.

If you decide that you want to wear ankle boots with your leopard print clothing, why not throw in another celebrity trend of statement *watches*? Try sporting an oversized watch on your wrist to fit in with this celebrity trend. Pictures have shown such celebrities as Jennifer Aniston, Kate Moss, Nicky Hilton and Sienna Miller sporting large, statement watches on their wrist. Choose one that is gold or silver and really add some jazz to your outfit.

So, now you have your next outfit planned out for your big event. Leopard print with ankle boots and an oversized watch. You will look just like a celebrity!

Celebrities don't always make wise decisions in the shoe department. I mean, have you seen some of the shoes they wear? Stiletto heels that are 6 inches high or platform shoes that look like you may fall over in them. But sometimes they do get it right and start a fashion trend that is actually comfortable. Take for instance boots and ballet flats.

Before you know it, Fall will be here and one staple that you should have in your wardrobe, if you want to look like a celebrity, is a pair of boots. So many celebrities have been seen wearing boots even in the summer. Now, I am not saying to go out in the scorching hot summer and pair shorts with boots like Hilary Duff did, but why not start your shopping early for fall and stay on trend with celebrities? There are tons of different styles of boots, from ankle boots to knee-high ones. There are plain boots, moccasin boots and even cowboy boots. Celebrities seem to love Marc Jacobs and his shoes. Well, Marc Jacobs makes an amazing pair of boots, and the celebrities would approve of them, as Jessica Simpson and Mischa Barton all have been seen wearing boots by Marc Jacobs.

Another big trend with shoes among celebrities is still the classic ballet flats. Ballet flats can be worn in spring, summer and even into the fall. You can even wear dark colored ballet flats into winter as long as you are not walking through five feet of snow. They are basically a shoe for all seasons. Such celebrities such as Blake Lively, Jessica Biel, Katie Holmes, Naomi Watts, Nicole Richie and Lindsay Lohan all wear ballet flats around town. For once celebrities actually got it right, since ballet flats are such a comfortable shoe. You can wear them in a variety of colors and designs. Some have adornments on them and others are just plain. One of the most popular flats is by Elie Tahari. They come in so many different colors and styles that you are sure to find one that suits your outfit and style.

With the summer months upon us, what better time to look at celebrity bathing suits? Some celebrities opt for the teeny, tiny bikini and others keep it more modest with sporty bikinis. Some celebrities even wear bathing suit cover-ups over their bikinis. Let's take a look at the most popular styles.

The string bikini is probably the most common bathing suit among celebrities. Not everyone can wear one, though. Most string bikinis do not provided enough support for larger-chested women. One of the exceptions was when Fergie hit the beach in a red and black string bikini that had metallic rings at the top of the straps. The triangle top was actually supportive for her. On the other hand, small-chested women usually have no problem with the string bikini and the triangle tops. Celebrities like Kate Hudson, Mischa Barton and Hilary Duff have been seen sporting string bikinis. In fact, Kate Hudson had several string bikinis that she wore when she was in Miami a couple of months ago.

The halter top bikini is another very popular style among celebrities, because it is actually a flattering pick for any size. The straps on the halter top will make your shoulders look smaller and will also balance your upper body with your lower body. Most halter tops are very supportive, so you can be more comfortable if you are going to be doing some actual swimming or playing on the beach. Audrina Patridge from The Hills was seen wearing a bold, turquoise halter top bikini from J Crew. Carmen Electra sported a blue and white halter top bikini while on the beach in Malibu. Lastly, Kate Bosworth was seen wearing a chocolate brown halter top bikini with tortoise shell rings in the middle of the top.

Whatever bathing suit you choose, you need to remember one thing, do not compare yourself with celebrities. Celebrities take care of their bodies because that is their job. Be yourself, be confident and enjoy the summer!
