Rachel Bilson couldn’t look better as she returns to the small screen for a stint on the show Chuck. In this scene, Bilson gets a lift in two-toned Marc Jacobs ankle-strap pumps that are as classic as they are on trend.

We covet anything Kate Bosworth wears — whether it be on the red carpet or while she’s just strolling around town. Most of her designer-packed wardrobe is too pricey for us to snag, but the fashionable actress does wear her fair share of affordable pieces. Remember her $18 striped summer dress? For the past month, Kate has been getting into the fall spirit with these comfortable and light Gap sweaters. Her heather and white striped number was part of Gap’s pre-fall collection, but you can still get a similar darker striped one for just $45! Like a true fashionista, Kate got her hands on Gap’s cashmere line way before it hits stores. Her canary yellow cashmere v-neck, $98, will hit Gap stores by November 15th, but in the mean time try this similar style cotton sweater, $40. Why stop there? You can get Kate’s whole look at the gap! Tie Gap’s red ruffle scarf, $13, around your neck and get a pair of Gap’s signature dark wash skinny jeans, $60, to finish it off. Now that is celebrity style we can relate to!

Beyonce stepped out in NYC the other night in platform DSquared2 “Knuckle” boots. These extremely fashion-forward studded boots aren’t for the faint of heart, but Beyonce, who was also named one of People’s Best Dressed Women of 2007, doesn’t have a problem with taking chances. Rihanna, who strutted her stuff at the recent DSquared fashion show, has been spotted around town wearing the exact same pair. We wonder what Jay-Z thinks of their style choices. Tell us: Do you like these boots on Beyonce? Would you wear them?

Want to try a more tamed down version of studded boots? Nina Shoes has a sleek knee-high boot for $450 at Nordstrom.com. Soho lab has an ankle version for $123 at victoriassecret.com. We also love this distressed pair for $180 at hsn.com.
