Stylish stars are throwing on little paisley dresses for a splashy warm-weather look. "Paisley always reminds me of my California upbringing," says designer Phillip Lim. Beach blonde Kate Hudson wore his 3.1 Phillip Lim dress to an afternoon screening. "Kate looks so natural in this dress, as if it were designed for her," says Lim. "It really suits her personal style: free-spirited, luxe, with a bit of rock and roll edge."
