Watching the premiere of The Apprentice: Los Angeles last night, we were happy to see Ivanka Trump looking polished and sounding smart. Despite her dad’s millions (and his ability to consistently make the news with minor scandals), this Wharton grad seems to have a good head on her shoulders and has chosen a career in real-estate rather than endless nights of partying. Not only is she keeping her underwear on and her personal life out of the tabloids, this Trump has developed a sleek and classic style that fits as well in the boardroom as on the charity ball circuit. Finally, an heiress you’d be happy to hire.

Two accomplished actresses, two Golden Globe nominees, two stunning blue dresses but two totally different styles — Cate Blanchett and Kate Winslet hooked up on the red carpet at the 18th Annual Palm Springs International Film Festival this weekend in coordinating cobalt stunners that showcased their individual looks. Always on the cutting edge of fashion, Blanchett arrived in a futuristic blue Balenciaga dress with sharp angles and patent leather insets. Winslet, on the other hand, went for simple elegance, wearing a figure-skimming Valentino gown with soft curls and minimal jewelry. We love that both actresses have such signature styles, but we can’t help but compare the two frocks. Tell us: Which dress do you like better? Cate’s futuristic sheath or Kate’s classic gown?

Sure, it’s cold out, but getting a pedicure is still a great way to pamper yourself. If your toes are freezing in flip-flops and you’re sick of smudging your fresh polish while putting on socks, you aren’t alone. Bootie Pies (Pedicure Boots for Posh Toes), are Ugg-like winter boots made of suede with a warm lining and fold back patent leather toe to let your nails dry while keeping your feet toasty. The boots come in five different colors, including this coconut creme and are sold exclusively at bootiepies.com for $128 a pair. Seems a bit much to us, but for the pampered footsie, why not?
