Blake Lively Hides Baby Bump in Michael Kors Full Skirt for Her Interview with Martha Stewart

We've always thought full skirts take the cake when it comes to versatility. They can be dressed up or dressed down to make them work for different occasions. They're also universally flattering and can look great on a variety of body sizes and shapes!

But did you know full skirts can look great on pregnant women too?

2014 American Made Summit: Martha Stewart one on one with Blake Lively in New York on November 8, 2014

Blake Lively proved that the full skirt is a vital piece in every girl's closet during her interview with Martha Stewart. The 27-year-old, who just recently launched her new website, Preserve, chatted to the lifestyle mogul about business, fashion and Ryan Reynolds wearing this gorgeous floral appliqu -adorned white skirt from the Michael Kors S/S 2015 collection.

She partnered it with what looks like a bustier top underneath a cropped fine-knit top which is also from Michael Kors. The former Gossip Girl actress accessorized with a statement necklace and a pair of Christian Louboutin Alti Pumps in Pink. She chatted amiably with Martha Stewart, despite the latter making bad remarks about Blake's new website before.

If Blake can look this gorgeous in a full skirt while pregnant, anyone can look just as smashing sans the baby bump, right? Her skirt isn't in stores yet but you can get your hands on these similar finds:

2. KTZ Reflective Panel Skirt, $1720.00

3. Burberry London Full Fil Coupe Skirt, $995.00

Trend Alert: Unapologetically Sheer Lace Skirts

The lace trend is at its strongest in the recent years, and it looks like it's not waning anytime soon with yet another fashion must-have making its rounds. This time, the oh-so-chic community of fashion bloggers are going short with their skirt linings and going long on the sheer lace skirt trend. Mostly making use of guipure lace (or lace without the mesh), the trend has found yet another way to strengthen its hold in the fashionista circles. Here are five looks we pulled:

1. Sporty Chic

Lena of Lena Panda

With the racerback silhouette making a huge comeback with the lingering Isabel Marant sporty fashion craze, it is no surprise that some bloggers would think of mashing up the trend with the romantic lace. Pull out a stark white outfit with a lace skirt, cropped racerback top and a blazer (in case it's still chilly). Finish the look with nude, white and gold accessories to maintain the crispness of the outfit.

Shop her look:

Daily Look Venetian Lace Skirt, $44.99 / Elizabeth and James Upton Crop Top, $245 / Victoria Beckham Tuxedo Jacket, $2,795 / Steven by Steve Madden Caydence Ankle Strap Low Heels, $99 / Kendra ScottDebbie Glass Drop Earrings in Black, $65 / Kate Spade New York Mother-of-Pearl Dial Gold-Strap Watch, $150 / Aldo Reiten Bag in Nude, 50

2. Casual Stud

Nastassja of Panna Amore e Caff

We love this casual outfit because it can take you from the office to a dinner out with friends. This outfit is comfortable yet still pulled together enough to work in, and is absolutely brimming with chicness - enough to meet your night life's standards. Give your casual ribbed sweater that extra oomph with a sheer lace skirt and studded pointed toe shoes. Polish the look off with earthy accessories.

Shop her look:

Fashion Union Blake Lace Pencil Skirt with Under Slip in White, 18 / Mango Open Knit Jumper in Natural White, 19.99 / Valentino Garavani Rockstud Slingback, $945 / Mallary Marks Mali Garnet, Silicized Wood & Gold "A&E" Earrings, $2,605 / Marc by Marc Jacobs Classic Q Percy Bag, $198 / DSquared2 Studded Wrap-Around Bracelet, $148.18 / Lucien Piccard Women's Coca White Austrian Crystal White MOP Dial Brown, $59.99 (before: $395)

3. Crop Top Vixen

Rose of Dadouchic

We love the dramatic flair accompanying the black crop-top-and-lace-combo in this look (see huge furry coat above and the over-the-top accessories below). Go casual with a simple black top or a bit more sophisticated with a lace one. Play around with chunky, attention-calling gold accessories to create this perfect vixen look.

Shop her look:

Daily Look Venetian Lace Skirt, $44.99 / Zadig & Voltaire Sheer Embroidered Boxy Crop Top, 315 / Giuseppe Zanotti Ankle Strap Snake Heels, $1,695 / New Look Gold Varied Double Row Chunky Chain Necklace, 9.99 / Charlotte Olympia Sunny Metallic Patent-Leather and PVC Clutch, 595 / Fashion Union Joanne Oversize Envelope Clutch With Gold Stud Detail in Black, 4.50 (before: 15)

4. Spring Fling

Frances of Frances Cassandra

This may not be lace (it's organza, to be precise) but it made our list anyway because pretty much follows the shorter lining skirt trend. More importantly, how cute is that floral print? Pair the skirt with a white cropped top, oversized braided hat, and some earth-tone accessories, and you're ready to go head-to-head with spring's prettiest blooms.

Shop her look:

Rare London Rose Organza Print Midi Skirt, 35 / McQ by Alexander McQueen Cropped Cotton-Blend Faille Top, 355 / Melissa Obadash Jemima Hat, 105 / Sam Edelman Trina Sandals, $165.96 / Sara Designs Leather & Beaded Wrap Watch, $231 (before: $330) / New Look Tan Leather-Look Woven Panel Across Body Bag, 9.99

5. The Artist

Kefilwe of Kefi Vogue Styles

We love how absolutely creative this look is - it not only played with the print-on-print trend but it also experimented with combining various textures. The look went absolutely nuts that it actually made sense, which we absolutely adore. Wear the lace skirt with a printed sweater and, most importantly, go all out crazypants on the accessories. The funkier, the more pulled together your outfit will be.

Shop her look:

Miss Selfridge Black Lace Skirt, 30 / Opening Ceremony Abstract-Print Cotton Blend Sweater, $346 / Linda Farrow Gallery Cat Eye Sunglasses, $277.19 / Alexander McQueen Micro Studded Leather Shoulder Bag, 1,486 / Dorothy Perkins Black Bowler Hat, 14 / Privileged Surrender Metal Heel Booties, $112

Zoe Saldana in Sachin + Babi Spring 2014 Skirt – Should She Reserve the Outfit for Spring?

We often muse how celebrities are so lucky to get their hands on designer merchandise earlier than the rest of us. But have you ever wondered why many of them insist on wearing clothes from spring and summer collections during fall and winter? That seems a trifle inappropriate, isn't it? There's a reason why fall and winter collections exist, right?

That thought just crossed our minds when we saw Zoe Saldana's skirt and top outfit.

71st Annual Golden Globe Awards Nominations Announcement At Beverly Hilton Hotel in California on December 12, 2013

The 35 year-old actress was clad in a boxy cropped top with daisies printed on it. She matched it with a maxi skirt, also boasting of adorable daisy prints and a contrasting striped hem.

The skirt and the top are both from the Spring 2014 collection of Sachin + Babi. The top was worn with a different skirt on the runway and the skirt was worn with a yellow cropped top but the Star Trek actress' take on these pieces was much more interesting. The daisy on daisy mix was a playful amalgam of volume and print.

She did wear it with California's weather in mind, but we think it's an outfit that would have much more impact during spring.

What about you, readers? What are your thoughts?

Since the skirt and top aren't available for online purchase yet, you might want to check out these alternatives:

1. Armani Collezioni Pleated Skirt, $343.91

2. Tibi A-Line Skirt, $760.00

3. Dsquared2 Pleated Skirt, $409.30

4. Fendi Animal Print Pleated Skirt, $1403.31

You can wear these maxi and midi skirts with a boxy top. A coat over your shoulders should keep you warm.

Jennifer Lawrence Does Dior Proud in a Guipure Crop Top

Jennifer Lawrence has had her share of red carpet hits and misses since stepping out into the spotlight around three years ago, with the fashion police going easy on then-19-year-old up-and-coming actress since she was only starting to make a name for herself. At 19, the actress was cast alongside big names such as Halle Berry and Hugh Jackman for the X-Men series, but failed to get international recognition since her character Mystique required that she become unrecognizable onscreen. It wasn't until The Hunger Games was released in 2012 that Jennifer was catapulted straight into the Hollywood spotlight and into the not-so-loving arms of tough fashion critics.

In November of 2012, Jennifer hired the much-coveted stylist to the A-list celebrities, Rachel Zoe, who produced her first big moment on the red carpet at the 2013 Oscars. We're not sure if it was the gorgeous voluminous Dior Couture gown that Rachel Zoe dressed her in (or the fact that she tripped on her way up to the stage to claim her award) that blew up her red carpet moment to epic proportions, but one thing is for sure - Jennifer is no longer letting her style guard down. The actress arrived at the Paris Fashion Week for the Christian Dior show clad in none other than Dior from their Resort 2014 collection.

Jennifer picked out a guipure lace cropped top and matching wool pants ensemble for the show. The beautiful guipure lace top is echoed in the pants by running a lace strip down one leg of the wide-legged pair. Guipure has been a favorite of designers for the last few seasons because it lacks the mesh that usually acts as the foundation for the lace, making the patterns stand out on their own even more. This type of lace has been made even more famous when Victoria's Secret models Miranda Kerr and Candice Swanepoel donned gorgeous guipure dresses from the Australian brand Lover.

The beautiful crop top is not available to the general fashion public just yet, so we picked out three guipure tops that will catapult your closet into chic-whimsical fame.

Hilary Rhoda Shows Some Love for Florals and Other Plants in NYC

It seems like Hilary Rhoda is a huge botany enthusiast - or perhaps she just likes floral prints and some other plants as well.

The 26-year-old model attended the “Persol Magnificent Obsessions” exhibition in New York City just last Thursday; she wore a simple yet very chic ensemble consisting of a plain black tank worn with a Clover Canyon “How High” pencil skirt, which features a marijuana plant print. She then capped off her look with a floral-printed 3.1 Phillip Lim “Pashli” mini satchel that did complement her rather controversial skirt - see what I mean with her love for plants?

Controversial or not, you can’t deny the fact that Hilary pulled off this look flawlessly, and her choice of accessory did her outfit justice as well. It’s such a shame that her floral-printed Pashli satchel is currently out of stock.

3.1 Phillip Lim ”Pashli” Floral Mini Satchel Bag in Black, $625 (out of stock)

However, we do have some alternatives that might suit your need, botany aficionado or not. Here are other 3.1 Phillip Lim bags:

3.1 Phillip Lim “Scout” Small Cross-Body Bag in Black, $402.50
