This week was bursting with beautiful looks thanks to the
Rome Film Festival. While some dazzled in their fancy frocks, others preferred to keep it more casual and flirty. Ashley Tisdale shined in her fun embellished Jenny Packham dress, while Margherita Missoni rocked in a pair of shiny
harem pants.

Want to be a solid gold hit at the holiday soiree? Do like these gilded ladies and do it up in sparkling, golden-hued gowns. I would like to point out that all three of these starlets are blondes — brunettes and redheads can shine equally as strong.
Take a close look. Do you notice the subtle juxtaposition between the smooth leather and suede of these
Oscar de la Renta Leather Boots ($1,195)? This expert two-toned technique adds an exciting and elusive touch to boots.

Sandra Oh opted to wear an intricate black lace Oscar de la Renta dress to the Emmys. What looks to be fluttery organza squares on the bottom half of her gown is offset with fancy lace detailing up top. A black Romanek Lizzy clutch and eye catching diamond Bulgari studs finish off her look.

There is a reason why every woman loves Oscar de la Renta. Just look at Kerry Washington at the premiere of Lakeview Terrace. The column gown fits like a glove, the citrus print is gorgeous and Kerry is positively glowing.

Welcome to one of the chicest addresses on the web:
OscarDeLaRenta.com. Just in time to show off its

Oscar de la Renta. Pure, defined, elegant. No matter what your personal style, one has to admire the works of art that is Oscar.

Fashion Week keeps trucking along with lots of famous faces in the front row and backstage. Fresh from
her Irvine show, Lauren Conrad had Lo Bosworth by her side today for Nanette Lepore, while Rachel Zoe joined Jennifer Lopez to support her
recent favorite, Oscar de la Renta. The
Gossip Girls went their separate ways — Blake Lively
wore the designer joining Heidi Klum at Michael Kors, while Leighton Meester and a surprisingly normal-looking Juliette Lewis went out to see Phillip Lim.

The funny word
ikat has been floating around fashion for some time now. The trend is hovering because it has powers — powers deeply rooted in the histories of Central Asia, South America, and beyond. From the runways of Oscar de la Renta and Roberto Cavalli to the celeb-filled sidewalks of LA and New York, ikat appeals to many a stylephile.
