Would You Try Dramatic Winged Eyeliner Like Katharine McPhee?

My, what big eyes you have, Katharine McPhee! The smoldering Smash star made a bold beauty statement on the red carpet in New York City last week, sporting exaggerated winged eyeliner at a party celebrating the grand opening of the New Balance Experience store. The dramatic look, complemented by minimal makeup and a simple bun, really made her eyes pop.

McPhee is one of several leading ladies to work the look lately: Angelina Jolie, Jessica Alba and Olivia Wilde have all tried the cat-eye look, and that extra bit of black liner is practically Lauren Conrad‘s trademark beauty move.

But tell us: What do you think of the winged eyeliner look? Would you try it for a night out? Or do you prefer to keep your eyeliner on, well, your eyelids?

Would You Wear a Denim Jumpsuit Like Kourtney Kardashian?

Kourtney Kardashian Style Splash News Online

The Kardashian sisters seem to have the fashion mojo to pull off any look: dirndls, tuxedo ties, even 20.5-carat rings and nipple slips. But sometimes, their style choices make us wonder: could we ever wear that? On a recent trip to her family’s Calabasas, Calif., Dash boutique, eldest sis Kourtney Kardashian donned a denim jumpsuit, complete with a front zipper, pockets and rolled-up sleeves. Thanks to her petite frame, the look flatters the chic mama, but we’re not necessarily sure we’d ever suit up in head-to-toe denim — let alone a one-piece look! So tell us: Would you wear a denim jumpsuit like Kardashian?

Would You Wear Neon Eye Shadow Like Fergie?

Fergie‘s risk-taking ways are evident in her edgy ensembles — and that same ‘anything goes’ attitude often extends to her beauty choices. This time around, the singer chose to embrace the bright, bold eye shadow that’s going to be all the rage this summer. Though we’ll probably add a hint of a sheer blue or green to our lids for a subtle pop on those balmy June nights, Fergie — perhaps in an effort to match her neon dress — recently decided to go for a dramatic, opaque swathe of hot orange shadow above her eyes. The Black Eyed Peas frontwoman really stands out with this neon hue, but could it be too much for everyday wear? Tell us: Would you wear brightly colored eye shadow like Fergie?

Would You Wear Suspenders Like Cameron Diaz?

Take it from the A-listers: nerd-chic might just be back in style. Cameron Diaz took a step toward the trend recently, sporting suspenders at the New York City celebration of pal Gwyneth Paltrow‘s new cookbook, My Father’s Daughter, on Monday. Diaz paired her braces with an all-white ensemble consisting of fitted jeans and a see-through tank, with pink pumps to complete the look. While everyone from Fergie to Lauren Conrad has tried the suspender trend in the past, Diaz is the latest star to strap on a pair. Although we have mixed feelings about the trend in general — Larry King, anyone? — we want to know your thoughts on the look. Tell us: Would you wear suspenders like Diaz? –Kim Peiffer

Would You Wear a Front Bun Like Thandie Newton?

Though the dog days of summer are still weeks away, we can already predict that our hairstyle of choice will be a chic and easy chignon. We’re also partial to a low, ballerina-style bun, and we love a topknot or even a side bun on occasion, too — gotta keep that hair off your neck on humid August afternoons! One style we’ve never tried, though, is the front bun, like the one Thandie Newton sported to a London Louis Vuitton event recently. While Newton is gorgeous enough to pull off pretty much hairstyle she tries, this might be the one bun that we’re not totally sure about trying out. Tell us: Would you rock a front bun like Newton? Sound off and you might see your answer in a future PEOPLE StyleWatch magazine!

Vanessa Hudgens Pairs Socks With Sandals: Would You Wear It?

Was it a fashion-forward move, or a fashion faux pas? Vanessa Hudgens stepped out at a Nylon magazine party in Los Angeles Thursday night sporting a semi-1990s style: a babydoll dress topped with a cute cardigan. But what really caught our eye were her sheer black socks, which were tucked oh-so-subtly into her strappy Pollini sandals. Before you knock the Sucker Punch star’s look, know that she’s actually working a runway trend: designers at Burberry and Christian Dior sent models down the catwalk last fall in socks paired with peep-toed shoes. Still, it’s hard to say if the real world is ready for such a change from the norm. We want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear socks with strappy sandals, like Hudgens?

Talk about fab abs! Sucker Punch star Jena Malone dared to bare her toned tummy Wednesday night at the movie’s big premiere in Los Angeles. The 26-year-old actress, known for her work with Julia Roberts in Stepmom, paired her sweet black top with a pale pink mermaid skirt, finishing the look with strappy black sandals and a black clutch. Up top, she rocked a super-blunt bob, softened by iridescent light green eyeshadow and pale pink lips. We applaud the actress’s gusto — this is a movie about girl power, after all! — but we want to know what you think. Tell us: What do you think of Malone’s look?
