Uniforms aren’t exactly what comes to mind when we think of trend-setting star and clothing designer Gwen Stefani. But the L.A.M.B. founder has just announced that she will launch an exclusive line of work-wear for W Hotels. Starting this fall, female staff members at the luxe hotel chain’s Gerber bars in the W lounges throughout the country will be outfitted in the custom L.A.M.B. design. And Gwen’s touch is instantly apparent: the black jersey dresses combine a fitted ’80s silhouette and asymmetrical styling with ’60s seam detailing and side vents. When creating the design, she knew it would have to not just look good, but be functional for active employees. “I wanted to design a super cute dress that I would be excited to have in my own closet and approached it in the same way I think about my clothing for a tour,” she says. “We’ve designed a sexy and comfortable outfit for these women to wear out on their own stage every night.” Tell us: What do you think of Gwen’s latest designs?

Just because she is returning to her country roots with her new album, doesn’t mean Jessica Simpson has lost her sexy image. The blonde bombshell entered the The Late Night with David Letterman show in a business-like black satin Diane von Furstenberg dress with a loose updo and conservative brown Jimmy Choo pumps. On the way out, the singer let her hair down and slipped into a seriously body-hugging Herve Leger dress. Jessica is proving to be an ultimate style chameleon the way she changes back and forth from country conservative to city sexy — in the same night! Tell us: What do you think is Jessica’s best look: conservative or sexy?
