Two pairs of jeggings, two different colors, and two different styles. Gwen Stefani was seen in Paige Premium Verdugo jeggings in Scarlet with a black and white striped tee and flip flops. Heidi Klum chose a far more neutral route in a beige version of the same style when she filmed an appearance for LA’s news & entertainment program ‘Extra’. Heidi wore a pair of Paige Verdugo jeggings in Marvel, Christian Louboutin heels and a loose fitting top. So which do you prefer… the red hot, or the calm beige? Let us know!

Hilary Duff (mother-to-be, woohoo!) was recently spotted wearing a pair of super comfortable [Blank NYC] Pull On Belle Flares (we should know how comfy they are, we have a pair!). They feature an elastic waistband and are meant to slip on and off with ease, so whether you’re pregnant or just lazy, getting up and getting dressed is a lot easier with these on hand. Luckily you don’t sacrifice style for comfort either—they’re pretty chic! She paired her bottoms with a Vince Rugby Striped crew neck sweater, Parker Ochs Frederico travel bag, and Christian Louboutin Moulage 140 Ankle Boots. For a fun touch of boho, she had some feathers woven into her hair.

LeAnn Rimes arrives at LAX in time to celebrate her 29th birthday… remember when she was a little cream puff winning country music awards? She looked pleased as punch in wearing a piece from the debut collection of Rachel Zoe—the ‘Frankie’ peasant blouse. She paired her flowy boho top with a pair of Christian Louboutin Toutenkaboucle Strappy Buckle Platform Sandals and J Brand 910 Ankle Skinny Jeans. This look is all about summer.

“Like mother, like son”! Usually we are not into matchy-matchy looks (we prefer less cheese in the style department), but when you look at Kourtney Kardashian and her main little man, Mason, that is the undeniable exception. The two were seen walking hand in hand wearing identical outfits. KK is showing off her impeccable style and the ability to rub some off onto her “genes” with a Dolce & Gabbana blouse, Babakul vest, and Bleulab jeans. And she wouldn’t be caught without Christian Louboutin flats and an Hermes Birkin bag, would she? We wonder if Mason’s gear is as pricey as his reality star mom.

This might be The Simple Life sequel to Mean Girls. Even though the Hilton sisters both broke it off with their most recent boyfriends, they’ve also both reunited with notorious “frenemy” Lindsay Lohan. Paris wore a vibrant navajo printed top by Amanda Uprichard styled with skinny jeans by Black Orchid for their latest outing. The reality star paired the Black Majesty side pleat jegging in a newton with a pair of black Christian Louboutin flats . Her headband is sort of 2008 but we still appreciate seeing something different on a socialite once in a while.

Kim Kardashian was spotted heading into Piny salon in Beverly Hills wearing Jet by John Eshaya Antique Wash Jeans. What better way to get pampered than walking in a comfy pair of jeans, Kim? Denim is SO much more chic than sweat pants. Kim takes it to the extreme and she paired her slightly ripped jeans with an unstructured black on creme blazer with her mega Christian Louboutin heels along with a black Hermes Birkin bag. It actually looks more like she’s headed to a concert than to the salon.

Kourtney Kardashian can not get enough of her Bleulab Jeans. We guess when something is trendy and fabulous, why not rock it out to the fullest? She did exactly out whilst out with her man for a yummy lunch date even though she seems more involved with her phone. She completed her look with a full list of designers in a Rachel Roy shirt, Balenciaga bag, Tom Ford Sunglasses, and Christian Louboutin shoes (as if she would be seen in anything but)!

Irina Shayk, better known as the hot girlfriend of mega soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo) was photographed to her dismay, wearing Blackout Denimocracy Anarchy Jeggings. She was shopping at the Christian Louboutin boutique and Yoya Mart in the Meatpacking district of New York City. She was trying to hide out under her black hooded jacket with red lining from the paparazzi, but they still managed to catch the beauty. We love her contrast camel-color boots, but we worry she might start kicking cameras with them if she is harassed on a bad day in the future. Such is fame!

Whether it’s for a reality show filming or just Kim Kardashians reality we are always coveting her beyond fabulous designer wardrobe. Kim Kardashian was recently spotted with family members in tow wearing Jet by John Eshaya Jamie Roll Up Slim Leg Jeans, Christian Louboutin Miss Clichy Pumps, a Balenciaga Classic Part Time Bag, a Herm?s Leather H Belt, Rodarte for Opening Ceremony Tom Petty Felt Hat, and a Tibi Button Down Bodysuit. She is dressed to the nines and we are digging (into our pockets) for the way she rolls.
