Parties! The style, stars and scoop from Hollywood's hottest events

Jessica Alba brought rock n’ roll edginess to the red carpet when she arrived at the 2003 VMAs in a form-fitting leather dress with lace detail by John Galliano for Dior. Alba, a presenter that evening, complimented her futuristic look with a sleek ponytail, shoulder-length diamond earrings and a red leather Dior clutch. "Jessica is always appropriate," says longtime stylist Daniel Caudill. "She's never too provocative or unladylike."
