Nicole Kidman doesn't have to try too hard to look stunning on the red carpet. She's tall, thin, and poised, and that takes care of quite a bit of it. However, when she takes a bit of a chance, as she did here for the Paris premiere of her newest film, "Australia," she makes a major impact.

Always the risk taker yet ever so elegant, Nicole Kidman dazzled in this Dries Van Noten number at the premier of her new movie Australia. Can you believe this broad was just pregnant? How do they do it?! ("They" being insanely skinny celebs who pop out babies and maintain a size 2 figure.)

Blake Lively, in addition to being a Gossip Girl, is also a gorgeous girl. And at 21, it's appropriate for her to risk some kookier fashion choices. The young fashionista succeeds more often than she fails...but here, at the New York premiere of Baz Luhrmann's epic film Australia, she fails.

The stars rule the stars. So what's in store for your favorite celeb? Find out in our regular feature, Ho'roscope. The glamor, the sex, the money troubles can all be understood through the astrological powers that really run Hollywood.

The Academy Awards came early at the Four Seasons tonight. Five Oscar winning women in the same room to celebrate Elle Magazine's Women in Hollywood. Halle Berry, Nicole Kidman, Shirley MacLaine, Jane Fonda, Diablo Cody, Sigourney Weaver, Kat Dennings, Jennifer Lopez, Jenny McCarthy, Anne Hathaway, Kate Beckinsale and Katharine McPhee attended the private dinner to honor female stardom and style in Hollywood.

Nicole Kidman is no stranger to high fashion. The very tall and very thin actress was once the face of Chanel's legendary No. 5 scent and boldly strutted down the red carpet at the Academy Awards in an amazing Balenciaga creation that got her alot of flack from celebrity journalists for its brilliant avant-garde design.

While Nicole may not be wearing either Chanel tweed suits or Balenciaga gladiator wedges in her upcoming film Australia, the proud Aussie will be donning custom Ferragamo shoes in the flick.

On the collaboration with the film's costume designer Catherine Martin, James Ferragamo says: "My grandfather, Salvatore Ferragamo, began his career working in costume design for the American Film Company, a precursor to Twentieth Century Fox, so it is only fitting that we carry on his name and our company's heritage by collaborating once again on a film from Fox."

You can see the beautiful evening sandals, riding boots, and classic wedge styles in all of their glory when the film drops this November.

OK. Oscar winner and former Chanel babe Nicole Kidman is pregnant. She's been so for a couple of months now. So we're kind of unsure as to why Vogue felt compelled to splash the "Pregnancy Update" cover line right under her chin on their July issue, but whatevs.

We caught some heat for pointing out that Angelina Jolie looked awful -- no really, just terrible -- in that grey dress at the Cannes premiere of her new film, Changeling, directed by Clint Eastwood.

That's fine. You're entitled to your opinions, and we love when you share them in the comments. Bring it on!

However, we also want to reiterate that our dismay was largely due to the fact that Angelina usually leads the pack when it comes to fashion fabulousness, even while pregnant.

She does have some competition. In the gallery, Angelina's best, plus nine ladies currently vying for the Hottest Mama, Summer 2008 title.

What do the stars hold for the stars this week? Find out in our regular feature, Ho'roscope. The lives of celebs are much more glamorous and sexy, including their horoscopes. This is a sneak peek into the astrological powers that influence fame and fortune.

Celebrity stylist Phillip Bloch hosted a charity event titled Night of a Thousand Lights. It was a fashion runway show held at the Roseland Ballroom in New York City. The proceeds went to St. Jude Children's Research Hospital.

As we mentioned earlier, the legendary Coco Chanel has two film biopics coming out this year that chronicle her life as the designer of the iconic Parisian fashion house that we've all come to know and love.

Shirley MacLaine will star in the television adaptation set to air on the Lifetime TV channel, which will follow Chanel's later years returning to Paris, after exiling herself in Germany and Switzerland during World War II.

Meanwhile, French actress Audrey Tautou has been tapped as the lead in the Chanel feature-length movie, Coco Avant Chanel. And according to a little rumor courtesy of WWD, Tautou may also be fronting the equally fabulous Chanel No.5 perfume campaign.

If you're pregnant and you're looking for some advice on what not to wear, look no further. Kristen already gave us the low down on how to play up your assets while you're expecting. Now I'll help you out with some blunders you should avoid.

Nicole Kidman is one of my favorite pale ladies in all of Hollywood. But, I wish she would own her skin color. Wearing a black dress when your skin is as white as snow can sometimes make one look rather witch-y.

I also wish she would own her pregnancy! Show it off Nicole! Every gossip blog out there knows you've been wanting to have biological children since back before you starting botoxing the life out of your forehead, had red hair and dated pre-couch jumping crazy Tom Cruise. And now Keith Urban's golden sperm has done the trick. You're finally knocked up, so give us what we've all been waiting for -- a glimpse of that little baby bump!

Honestly, there's not that much wrong with this dress. It's kind of an awkward length -- like someone accidentally hemmed it just an inch too short. And it's a little boring. The plain black looks sort of like a prom dress, I mean if it weren't worn with a ridiculous diamond necklace, which is most certainly worth more than my house. But, I can't really put my finger on what I don't like about Nicole's Oscar get-up. I think I just expected more from one of the most elegant women in the business.

Oh, the drama! Mariah Carey, in what can only be described as an unfortunate attempt to reinvent a fledgling career, has taken a part in the upcoming movie, Tennessee. Imagine Mariah's surprise when she got on set and discovered they didn't want her to be her ultra-glamorous self, but rather someone else. You know, like an actor.

More specifically, the costume people wanted Mariah to ugly-up with a schnoz and bushy eyebrows. The pop diva immediately called her people, and -- after being advised against the nose and 'brows by whoever she talked to -- refused to alter her appearance.

I'm sure Mariah said no because she thought looking ugly on screen would be bad for her career (or maybe she's just insecure). But does she really think people are too stupid to understand that she's wearing make-up? No one made fun of Nicole Kidman when she wore that enormous nose to play Virginia Wolf -- as a matter of fact, she got an Oscar!

So...am I missing something? Is Mariah being a crazy diva, or are her concerns justified?

In case you haven't noticed, it's fashion week, so all the designers and celebrities have come out to show what they've cooked up for fall (and to see what everyone else is wearing). Obviously, being a high-profile person gives you a kind of notoriety and power not normally afforded to models -- so it's not surprising that someone like Nicole Kidman, Mischa Barton or Katie Holmes would get big bucks to walk down the runway.

But why would they, when these celebrities can get paid tens of thousands of dollars just to show up.

In a recent article on Forbes.com, it was revealed that big designers hire "wranglers" who pay famous people to sit in the front rows of their fashion shows. That, in itself, isn't exactly insider information -- but what is surprising, is just how money these celebrities can get.

For instance, Katie Holmes would probably get $50,000 -- just to sit there -- while lesser stars like Kidman or Barton would get $25,000 to $40,000.

I have obviously chosen the wrong profession.
