May/10/2013 at 06:00 PM ET

In our weekly round-up of what we’re seeing sizzle (and fizzle) on the red carpet, we saw bracelets get swapped out for plain ol’ wristwatches, an abundance of lovely, slicked-back strands — and one instance of confused-weather footwear that we think can be retired right about now.

Up: Elegant ponytails. Perhaps blame it on the transitional weather, but plenty of stars this week opted to smooth their hair back into elegant, classic ponytails and not risk the frizz factor. Zoë Saldana had one of our favorites, but Julianne Hough, Olivia Munn, Miranda Kerr and Heidi Klum have all worn their hair tightly pulled back into a pretty, simple style.

May/10/2013 at 05:00 PM ET

Do you have big plans this weekend? Yay! But are you scowling at everything in your closet? Boo. Don’t panic. We’ve picked three great looks that will get you through the weekend looking like a pro — from date night to Mother’s Day brunch and beyond.

Saturday night: We’ve finally locked up our tights drawer for the season, and Jordin Sparks‘s bare leg action has inspired us to finally reach for our miniskirts. The singer stuns in a floral bodycon skirt and black blazer combo that will command a guy’s attention and make you radiate confidence, which is exactly what Saturday night is all about. Get her look with this Forever 21 mini (it’s a steal at $12.80) and a cropped blazer like this one by ASOS ($59.40). As for footwear, throw on your go-to pair of black pumps (we know you have a million). Bonus points if you add a statement necklace like this piece of neck candy we’re obsessing over from Zara.

When you’re among the most beautiful mother/daughter duos in the world, Mother’s Day may be celebrated a little differently in your house.

For instance, Sunglass Hut may host a tea in your honor and allow you to play dress-up with all the shades (not quite like the breakfast in bed we’re hosting for our moms!)

Georgia May Jagger, who’s the face of Sunglass Hut, and her model mom, Jerry Hall, celebrated their Mother’s Day ad campaign in style (see an image, below) at the line’s N.Y.C. flagship, and answered our questions about swapping beauty tips — and sunglasses.

Exclusive Pics: Behind the Scenes of Nikki Reed’s Jewelry Tour!

We knew Nikki Reed had a creative side (she’s dabbled in jewelry design and sings with her husband, Paul McDonald), but now she’s bringing her bright ideas to an even bigger audience, thanks to her new partnership with 7 For All Mankind.

The star teamed up with the contemporary clothing line to create a five-piece capsule collection of her Mattlin Era jewels, inspired by 7 For All Mankind’s spring collection. “When they told me the inspiration for the line was love, it was an organic match,” Reed said in a statement. “Once I saw the collection the jewelry was to compliment, it immediately felt like a perfect fit.”

And she’s hitting the road to show off the pieces in person, stopping in Troy, Mi. and Orlando (above) in head to toe 7 For All Mankind to show off the collection in style.

But lest you think Reed just rolls out of bed looking that adorable, the actress exclusively shared with us some photos and behind-the-scenes scoop of her getting-ready routine (below) before her Orlando stop, where she accessorized her cute jeans and zipper blouse with pieces from the 7FAM x Nikki Reed collection, all under $100.

Clockwise from top right, she gives a little peek into how she gets ready far away from L.A. “My make-up artist, Fiona Stiles, always sends me on the road with some great make up tips,” she tells us. “I’m applying a Clinique chubby stick to finish this look off.”

Next up, the finishing touches on her makeup: “A little Dior mascara. Now I’ll just throw on my 7FAM x Nikki Reed ‘Humility’ necklace and ‘Storytelling’ bangles and I’m ready for Orlando.” (Ed. note: We spot the “Humility” earrings as well!)

And finally, because no good outfit is complete without a little flash, Reed slips into some bright pumps. “Love my orange Shoemint heels to pop some color into my 7 For All Mankind look!” she says.

She makes it look so easy! We’ll be trying to pull this off this weekend.

Tell us: What do you think of Reed’s designs for 7 For All Mankind?

Carrie Ann Inaba’s ‘DWTS’ Blog: My Dress Was So Hot, It Made Me Wish I’d Lined Up a Date!

Dancing With the Stars judge Carrie Ann Inaba joins us again to blog about her style (and all the backstage scoop) on the show’s 16th season. This week, she talks about the sexy dress that made her wish she had a date night planned — and sending her jewels flying into the audience.

What an incredible night in the ballroom. The number Derek choreographed based on the late Fred Astaire’s incredible genius was so impressive. It’s exciting to see such innovative choreography, even though the idea was borrowed. It’s a reinvention and that is what happens with art.

What was impressive is that it didn’t feel like a second rate version of a classic. Instead, it felt like a wonderful unique piece of art that will stand the test of time. I haven’t been that impressed since his Paso Doble the night before!

That was just a little reminder to my judging friend Len Goodman … who I still say robbed them of a perfect 30. But I still love him and respect him. We are all there for different reasons, and a little argument here and there never hurt anyone.

Rachel Zoe Has a Very Good Reason For You to Buy More Shoes

You don’t really ever need a good reason to stock your shoe closet, but in May, Rachel Zoe is giving you one. She’s donating 10% of the sales from her May ShoeDazzle boutique to her favorite charity, Baby2Baby, which supplies needy L.A. families with baby gear and children’s clothing.

“It’s just not okay that one in three mothers has to choose between diapers and food in Los Angeles,” says Zoe, who has long been a Baby2Baby “Angel” and supporter. “The founders of ShoeDazzle have also been longtime supporters of Baby2Baby so it just made sense.”

Speaking of tough choices: Asking Zoe to pick her favorite in May’s collection is nearly impossible. “I love so many of them,” she tells PEOPLE. “I love everything from their basics to the ones with spikes.”
