Get The Look For Less: Kate Beckinsale

Kate Beckinsale shows off her rock-star style in leather pants, Fiorentini and Baker leather biker boots and a bold fur vest. Rarely seen sans over-sized shades and a super-chic ensemble, Kate never ceases to awe us with her tres chic sense of style.

Kate, a London born actress, made her mark in Hollywood in 2001 with such movies as Pearl Harbor and Serendipity. She built on this success with appearances in The Aviator (2004) and Click (2006). Her next role will be the (set to release in 2012) remake of sci-fi action film Total Recall, directed by her husband, Len Wiseman and co-starring Colin Farrell and Jessica Biel.

Not many of us have “rock star” fashion budgets but these days you can look just as fab in faux. Take the Quess bold faux-leather pants and the Quick Silver faux-fur vest, they give you instant style-status with an edge without breaking the bank.

Get The Look For Less: Krysten Ritter

Krysten Ritter, of Breaking Bad fame, rocks a D&G bodice hugging lace frock at the Gen Arts screening of Life Happens in New York City. Life Happens is based upon the true story of co-writers Krysten Ritter and Kat Coiro, which also stars Krysten, Kate Bosworth and Rachel Bilson.

The screening was put on by Gen Arts, an art and entertainment organization which showcases filmmakers, fashion designers, musicians and visual artists.

The cast attended an after party at the Gramercy Hotel and Krysten’s ensemble could pull double duty as a red carpet look as well as a sexy party outfit. Her lace-up “rock and roll” heels gives the outfit an edge and keeps it from looking too frilly.
