Jessica Biel was stylish and cool in a Christian Cota look from Spring 2011 at Comic Con. The actress attended the conference to promote her upcoming movie, “Total Recall.”. She opted for a pair of mid-thigh shorts and sleeveless top with an asymmetrical length. Her ensemble was fresh, and a great choice during those heat advisory days. This is how you do dressy casual, and it was accessorized with Aldo for Christian Cota heels.

Jennifer Lopez attended the Blackberry Playbook launch at Best Buy in Los Angeles on Tuesday, April 19th.  It was also the launch of her new album, Love?.  The singer showed-off her firm abs in a bandeau top from Christian Cota, a pair of Tibi pants and a Topshop jacket.  I loved her black peeped-toe Jimmy Choo heels and the dark pedicure was a nice touch.  Her hair was styled in loose curls, and her light brown tresses had pretty bland highlights.

Selena Gomez in Christian Cota.  A very spring-like look, a pair of white shorts and a sleeveless print top with white overlay.  She accessorized with a turqouise pair of T-Strapped high-heeled sandals.

Heidi Klum in Gucci.  She wore a minidress with embellished in the sleeves and neckline.  Her black peeped-toe booties with cut-outs were gorgeous and just right for the dress.

Miley Cyrus in Dolce & Gabbana.  She opted for a figure hugging gown in a beautiful floral print. 

Rosario Dawson in Fendi.  Her one-shoulder minidress was flirty and fun with pretty ruffles throughout.  She wore a pair of nude pointy-toed pumps with her eggplant colored dress.

CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund held its runway show yesterday in Los Angeles at The Chateau Marmont.  Among the finalists showing were Joseph Altuzarra, Pamela Love, Prabal Gurung, Christian Cota, Moss Lipow, Gregory Parkinson and Eddie Borgo.  The audience included Eva Mendes, Nicole Richie, Frederic Fekkai and Rachel Zoe; they came out to show their support to the newer talent on the fashion block.  Mendes wore Christian Cota to the event; any guesses where she’s lending her support?  Fekkai was responsible for the hair backstage, someone has to style the hair to go with the gorgeous designs.  This fulfilled the runway portion of the competition, a final decision will be made on November 15th.  The winner gets bragging rights and a $200,000 cash prize.  That’s quite an incentive.
