Leopard is one of fall’s hottest trends, but less-fearless fashionistas have been sneaking it in with bags and belts. Not so these stars, who have committed full-out to the trend, sporting it in style with Current/Elliott’s red-hot “Leopard Stiletto” jeans.

The skinny style, which retails for $198, comes in two washes, a camel and a faded gray, which render the bold-print neutral enough to pair with a variety of looks. From left, Sarah Jessica Parker wore hers with a satin trench to take in a performance; Isla Fisher added a pop of color with bright flats; Mandy Moore topped hers with a loose-fitting tank; and Katie Holmes hit a concert in hers wearing a Nantucket red boyfriend sweater.

Beyoncé: Pulse Was Inspired by Sasha Fierce

When Beyoncé bleeds, she succeeds. The singer cut her feet on her spiky Louboutin heels while filming the campaign for her latest fragrance, Pulse, but instead of taking it as a bad omen, the mom-to-be embraced it as a good sign.

“Every time I hurt myself and I have to put a Band-Aid [on] I know that [the] work and the pain pays off,” she told the crowd at her fragrance launch party in New York Wednesday night, explaining that after many a video shoot she’s come home with bruised knees and bloody feet. “So Pulse is going to be as successful, let us pray.”

Oh My! ‘Wizard of Oz’ Ruby Slippers Set for Auction

Wizard of Oz Ruby Slippers AuctionEverett

There’s no place like home … a new home, that is, for Dorothy Gale’s iconic ruby slippers. The glimmering red shoes will be auctioned by California’s Profiles in History auction house on Dec. 16 as part of a Hollywood memorabilia sale — and according to Reuters, they’re expected to earn between $2 and $3 million.

“This is the most important film prop in the world. There is nothing more famous,” Profiles in History owner Joe Maddalena tells Reuters. “They are one of the greatest pieces of pop culture in existence.”

These particular slippers are one of four known surviving pairs made for the 1939 film, and were believed to have been worn by Judy Garland. They are marked “#7 Judy Garland,” and are reportedly in perfect condition, save for a few light scuffs on the soles.

Kim Kardashian Won’t Wear Her Engagement Ring to the Gym

As if you couldn’t tell by that massive rock taking up residence on her ring finger, Kim Kardashian is a big fan of bling. And the reality-star-turned-fashion-designer continues to channel her sparkly aesthetic as her Belle Noel jewelry collection — created in collaboration with designer Pascal Mouawad — enters into its third season.

“I love to accessorize. I think more is more when it comes to fun accessories,” the newlywed (in Milly) tells WWD of her taste in jewelry, which she describes as “both glitz and glam, polished and put together.”

But just because Kardashian likes her ice doesn’t mean she never goes without it. “I don’t wear it to work out,” she admits. “I see women coming to the gym with earrings on. I can’t do it.” Same goes for bedtime, she says. “For some reason I need it all off, though people do … sleep with their earrings on.”
