While Melanie Brown, Jennie Garth and Jane Seymour sparkle in fun costume jewelry, Dancing with the Stars host Samantha Harris dazzles in the real deal. The new mom has already dripped in more than a half of a million dollars worth of Kwiat diamonds. In the October 15 episode, Samantha donned a diamond choker worth about $175,000, while the next night, the host showed off a $156,000 diamond choker. On October 22, Samantha iced her wrist with a $145,000 bracelet and adorned her gown with a $13,000 flower brooch. Of course, we’re as likely to get our hands on real diamonds like Samantha as we are to break out in a perfect 10 rumba . . .so we’ve tracked down her look for so much less! Check out these affordable faux diamond options.

Christina Ricci has long been known for her moody and unusual beauty — usually toppped off with jet black hair. But this weekend, she debuted a new lighter look at a Louis Vuitton event in Los Angeles. As much as we liked her dark ’20s inspired bob, we love her softer, honey-flecked new look that really sets off her eyes. But we want to know what you think! Tell us: Do you like Christina with lighter brown hair? Should she go back to black?

We can’t say enough how amazing Halle Berry looks pregnant — although we imagine we’ve got a few more oohs and ahs before she’s due. So, it’s no surprise that the hot momma-to-be is still wearing non-maternity wear, but only Halle could pull off a legendary Dolce & Gabbana corset dress in her second trimester! But we’ve seen this particular slinky number before, on the decidedly sveltve figure of Mandy Moore. While it’s not exactly fair to compare those who are and are not expecting a child, we still get a giggle out of seeing the two stars in the same dress. Tell us: Who wears her Dolce & Gabbana dress better? Do you like that Halle is wearing sexy clothes during her pregnancy?
