Is Will Ferrell Dressing Like His Characters?

Why pay a personal stylist when there are costume designers around? Just compare Will Ferrell’s red carpet threads at the Talladega Nights premiere to his wardrobe — that Crystal Gayle t-shirt looks mighty familiar. And that royal blue suit he wore to Stranger Than Fiction‘s recent opening? Yep. It’s a Domenico Vacca suit from the film (and movie poster). “Why buy my own clothes?” Ferrell said when recently pressed by Entertainment Weekly. “I know the ones from the film will fit me.” It definitely takes the guess work out of shopping, but doesn’t he miss picking out his own clothes? What do you think? Is Ferrell a lazy dresser? Or maybe, is it the perfect fit for him?

Jennifer Lopez Named Best-Dressed: Do You Agree?

Look at how gorgeous Jennifer Lopez is on the cover of Harper’s Bazaar, beaming as their Best-Dressed woman in the December issue. Sure, she may occasionally wear makeup or dresses that raise a few eyebrows, but she is constantly pushing the fashion envelope. “People might make fun of some of my outfits,” Lopez told Bazaar, “I hope — and I think — they respect the fact that I love fashion, and I go out and do it.” As for the gold head-wrap she sported to the VMA’s, J.Lo has no regrets: “I love hats and head wraps; they remind me of Audrey Hepburn, Ingrid Bergman and Lana Turner — old Hollywood.”

What do you think about Jennifer Lopez and her playful fashion? Do you agree that she’s Best-Dressed? If you need a reminder of some of her recent looks, check out our Off The Rack archive by clicking here.

How High Are Ashley Olsen's Heels

For some of us, high heels come out on only special occasions. But for petite Ashley Olsen, heels are her daily footwear — for everything from red carpet events to picking up bouquets at the local florist. But this pair of extra-high Balenciaga platform pumps stopped us in our tracks. How high are those heels!? Carrying flowers as big as she is, Ashley is able to maintain her balance in her almost five-inch heels. Wow! Even though she isn’t the first star we’ve spotted trucking around town in some seriously high heels, we’re sticking to our ballet flats for now. Tell us: What are the highest heels you’ve ever worn? Do you wear them on a daily basis?

Tara Reid’s New (and Improved!) Look

Is that you, Tara Reid? The former Taradise star reemerged over the weekend at the Hollywood premiere of The Fountain looking nothing like her former self. Gone were the harsh makeup, bleached-blonde hair and skimpy outfits. Instead, she glided down the red carpet in a form-flattering little black dress and pointy stilettos. Softly muted makeup and pretty ringlets completed her stunning transformation. We were completely caught by surprise: Just when we were ready to count out the onetime all-American starlet, she gives us a glimpse of something pretty Tarariffic. Tell us: What do you think of Tara’s new look?
