Jessica Alba has had a busy summer promoting Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer and we have gotten used to seeing her casual and sweet red carpet looks. So when the star turned up for a Madrid photocall in a funky Versace minidress, sheer Waldrof leggings and chunky Versace patent leather dominatrix-platforms we did a double take. Not that Jessica doesn’t look amazing, but this look seems a bit out-of-character from her classic style. Tell us: Would you wear Jessica Alba’s platforms? Do you like this edgy new look on her?

The smoky eye is a perennial beauty favorite. Not only is it sexy, but it’s actually wearable for pretty much everybody. But all good things in moderation, right? Avril Lavigne embodies her punk-y persona (and possibly Rocky Raccoon) by taking the look to extremes with super thick eyeliner and black lids. Is it still so wearable? We want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear this ultra smoky eye?

Lily Allen took a break from Chanel (never mind her own Lily Loves clothing line) and wore a designed-especially-for-her cotton and lurex Heatherette dress at a London concert July 16. Heatherette’s two designers — who told PEOPLE they have Allen’s CD in constant rotation in their New York studio — created three dresses for the singer after she visited them earlier this month (and invited them to two concerts). “I love Lily because she embodies the spirit of now and the joy of self expression through fun fashion choices,” says Heatherette co-designer Richie Rich. One of the reasons Allen came to see Rich and his design partner Traver Rains: After several months of emailing with Allen, they’d sent her a dress without measuring her and it didn’t fit correctly. She came in for a fitting, and it looks like the second time was the charm.
