With so many choices to pick from, it’s not exactly a coincidence when style stars like Michelle Williams and Kate Bosworth select feminine frocks from the same London-based label.

Best known for micro floral prints and unabashedly feminine silhouettes, Erdem has become an offbeat industry darling. After Claudia Schiffer wore a runway look from his debut ready-to-wear collection in 2006, the designer went on to gain critical and capital success when Barneys New York became the brand’s primary stockist. (The Duchess of Cambridge helped put him on the map, as well.)

In less than two weeks, five of Hollywood’s most sought-after leading ladies selected similar looks from Valentino’s spring/summer 2012 collection.

For the Jan. 9 Rome premiere of The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, Rooney Mara wore a scarlet, tiered gown with piqued sleeves and sheer paneling. In the days that followed, both Jessica Alba and Kristen Bell attended awards season soirees in leather-accented styles, while Kirsten Dunst and Kate Bosworth opted for slightly more black-tie versions of the same silhouette.

It was a day Jessica Alba had long thought about: the day she could finally afford a Chanel bag. Nearly a decade ago, she finally got it.

“I wouldn’t put it down,” she recalled to PEOPLE Friday night. “I’d been an admirer of Chanel for so long. It’s timeless, it’s chic.”

Chanel gave an elite few a peek into that chic world Friday with the grand opening of the Numéros Privés exhibition at Wynn Las Vegas. The invitation-only installation shows guests everything from how the famed bags are made to dolls created by Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld. There’s even a loose recreation of Coco Chanel’s Parisian apartment.

“It’s like every room is an art exhibit,” actress Lily Collins told PEOPLE of the elaborate 10-room tour.

Having received her first Chanel bag from her late grandmother, the history of famed brand wasn’t lost on Collins. “It doesn’t matter what generation you are. It just blends with your personality and makes you feel that much more chic,” she explained. “The fact that it’s Chanel makes it so you can get away with anything.”
