Fox Flash;INFGoff

To mark the 100th episode of So You Think You Can Dance, stylish host Cat Deeley welcomed special guest Katie Holmes. " Katie looked fantastic in a black satin boy blazer, trilby hat and Chanel sequin shorts. She's got legs just go on for days," says Deeley of the ensemble Katie wore for her Judy Garland-inspired performance of "Get Happy." "But I have to say Suri is my new style icon! She came down to the studio in a very fashion-forward floral print dress-she's our glamour girl of the future!"

Victoria Beckham showed the models how it's done when she jumped on a swing

to provide some creative direction at a shoot for her Victoria Beckham Collection Fall 2009 ad campaign. But don't expect to see her when the ads debut-the celebrity designer stayed behind the cameras on the London set. Want to get your hands on one of the dresses from the style icon's current line? The cashmere dress Beckham wore for her swing fling is sold out, but Net-A-Porter still has this violet silk Briseux mini dress in stock!

Her latest burlesque show revolves around a giant martini glass, so it was fitting that guests sipped the Cointreau Teese cocktail while watching Dita Von Teese's performance at Hollywood hot spot Bardot. Von Teese worked with expert mixologists in Paris to develop the libation, which gets it's delicate violet hue from Creme de Violette.

Ingredients:
? 1 1/2 oz. Cointreau
? 1 oz Creme de Violette
? 1/2 oz. apple juice
? 3/4 oz fresh lemon juice

Directions:
Combine ingredients with ice in a cocktail shaker and shake vigorously. Rim a martini glass with ginger essence. Strain into glass and garnish with an edible violet.

Rachel Roy's diffusion line for Macy's hits stores in three weeks, but if you are near Soho you can shop the collection in a specialty pop-up store

that will remain open for 10 days or until everything is sold out-whichever comes first! Based on the collections cool-factor, high-quality design and affordable prices, our bet's on a sold out store. Roy told WWD, "I absolutely hope to have my own store one day, and to me, launching the Rachel Rachel Roy pop-up store is the most appropriate first step."

Shop the Rachel Roy collection at instyle.shopping.com.

Move Over Bella and Sookie, Here Comes Elena

What's Right Now - Nina Dobrev of Vampire Diaries - Comic-Con
Courtesy of The CW;Courtesy of Summit Entertainment;Courtesy of HBO

Considering her passion for the bloodsucker genre, Nina Dobrev is the perfect fit for the role of Elena in the new CW series The Vampire Diaries. "I read the Twilight books long before the movie craze and I am obsessed with True Blood," says Dobrev, who will unveil her new show at Comic-Con later this week. "I think Elena is more like Sookie than Bella, except my character doesn't have any powers...that we know of." The Bulgarian-born actress (who previously co-starred with 90210's Shenae Grimes on the Canadian TV series Degrassi: The Next Generation) has been heavily involved in developing Elena's style. She's scouted stores like Macy's and Bloomingdales with the Diaries costume designer, and even pulled a few items-like KRMA leather jackets-from her own closet. And though she has a fanged love interest on the show, in real life she's got her eye on the resident of another vampire-infested town. "I have a crush on Ryan Kwanten from True Blood," Dobrev admits.

We've been a fan of Jules Smith designs since the debut of the fabulous Kiss Kiss Necklace, but designer Gina Nigrelli really hit a soft spot with her newest collection. Inspired by New Moon and boasting names like Edward's Smile and Bella's Good Luck Charm, this collection has the chic-factor fans are looking for. "Once I began reading the Twilight series, I quickly became engulfed in the love triangle and the mystical fantasy of the storyline. My obsession for vampires translated into a design inspiration." Nigrelli told us, "I wanted to share my devotion to these characters with my fans and there's no better way to celebrate Edward Cullen than with a New Moon collection featuring alluring fangs."

Sporting a jersey

with your favorite athlete's name emblazoned on the back is so passe, take a cue from Jennifer Lopez and Charlize Theron and get one with your own name on it!

Either way, a babe in a jersey is always hot in our book.

We just finished shooting Twilight's Taylor Lautner for our December issue's Man of Style feature! While we can't tell you everything the New Moon star told us about working with Kristen Stewart and transforming his body for the role just yet, here are a few choice bits to hold all you "Team Jacob" fans over 'til the issue and behind-the-scenes video come out this November:

FIVE THINGS YOU DIDN?T KNOW ABOUT TAYLOR
1. He doesn't have a Facebook or Twitter account, though he says plenty of people pose as him online.
2. He's a major Red Bull fan and drank it throughout our shoot.
3. His favorite band, U2, is performing in Vancouver this summer, where he'll be shooting Eclipse!
4. He can?t live without his leather jacket, so stylist Matthew Edelstein pulled this John Varvatos jacket for the shoot.
5. He drives a black BMW 5 series but is more into football than cars.

Francisco Costa Wants Tina Fey In His Suit For The Emmys

What's Right Now - Emmy Awards Style: Will Tina Fey Wear a Suit?

We'll leave it to our friends at EW.com to predict who is going to win big on Emmy night-we're far too busy contemplating what our favorite TV stars will be wearing. So when we bumped into Calvin Klein creative director Francisco Costa, we had to ask which small screen actress he'd love to dress for the annual awards show. "Tina Fey would be great," Costa mused. "I'd love to do a suit for her. Something sexy and fun." Tina looked classic in Zac Posen at this year's Academy Awards, but she has also taken some risks that have paid off. We could see her rocking the red carpet in Costa's feminine take on the tuxedo.

Come back on Sunday, September 20th for InStyle.com's live coverage of the 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards.

We're Mad About… Boater Hats

Anne Hathaway - boater hats
Splash News;Courtesy of Costumes of Nashua

Anne Hathaway

has chosen some funky headgear lately, including a rainbow-colored wig, but her nautical-inspired boater hat that she donned this weekend was perfectly chic and fresh. Boater hats, also known as skimmers, are having a moment-first seen on the runways at Marc Jacobs and then onto the heads of the fashion set, including Chloe Sevigny. Boaters are typically made of straw, boast a stiff brim and flat top and are usually adorned with a ribbon. Take a cue from Hathaway and wear yours with preppy stripes and sunglasses alike.

Fantasy Item: A Chanel Motorcycle

Stephane Feugere

Just when we thought labels couldn't get anymore outrageous, Karl Lagerfeld went and put a Chanel stamp on a Hogg and now we want one. Shooting the pre-spring collection on Rue Royale in Paris, model of the moment, Lara Stone, and Baptiste Giacobini used a dangerous prop-a customized Chanel motorcycle. Luckily, Lagerfeld had their safety in mind and kept the bike in park while shooting. Too bad Chanel won't be producing the chic set of wheels, as we can only dream of the high fashion helmets that would have to go with them.

Just-released photos of Stella McCartney's latest ad campaign are one part Disney, one part high fashion. The ads feature model Sigrid Agren in McCartney's Fall/Winter 2009 collection amongst a crowd of furry (and quite famous!) friends: Bambi, Thumper, Friend Owl and Flower the Skunk. "I'm a huge Bambi fan, and the film reminds me of my mum," McCartney told WWD, "The clothes in the campaign are looking quite fierce and we wanted to contrast them with the innocence of Bambi."

We're Mad About…The Little White Dress

We've been recording little white dress moments all summer long, waiting for just the right time to declare it an obsession. Now, thanks to Eva Mendes, we can! She stepped out in Italy over the weekend in a perfectly chic white frock, joining the ranks of other LWD-wearers like Demi Moore and Cameron Diaz. The genius of the little white dress is that while it's completely chic alone, you can jazz it up with superhero-sized cuffs (near left) or a pop-of-color belt (far left) for a instant update.

Miami Swim Report: Add Flair To A Chic One-Piece

We caught up with Susan Joy, the stylist behind the 2010 Lycra swim show, to find out what inspired her wildly fun looks (right). "I had a vision of Jeff Koons's "Rabbit" balloon overgrown with hot house flowers and tropical vines, so we did bright, modern suits, added fun headpieces, vivid lucite bangles from Alexis Bittar, metal jewels from Mawi and graphic frames from Alain Mikli," she said. Joy thinks the one-piece is the perfect suit for adding flair "because right now it's less about flaunting it and more about personal style." Take her advice and let a chic one-piece be the blank canvas for piles of colorful accessories.
