Last night, watching the Oscars in Hollywood, I was struck by the number of beautiful women who made themselves look nearly invisible because of the colors they wore. This is the one night you don't want to look blah. You want to stand out! If you want to own the room when you enter it, …

Last night at the Oscars, as expected, I saw many celebrities and stars wearing pale "blush" colors, and they aren't doing themselves any favors. When you have pale skin, you make yourself look even paler. And when you forgo lipstick for the so-called "natural" look of today, you even begin to look sickly. Too many …

Apparently, fashion Guru Tim Gunn hasn't updated himself about color. A lot of famous designers are in the same boat, so it's no surprise.

Katy Perry, what were you thinking? This dress makes you look matronly. You need to fire your stylist. I don't mind blue hair, but that hairstyle is also unflattering - it makes your neck look too muscular. Throw that gown away! Rhiianna, this is your best look yet. Keep that sexy blonde hair. Red is …

Kim Kardashian looks elegant and toned in her beautiful white pantsuit, worn on her recent European trip. It makes her waist look slim, and the padded shoulders of the white top balance her hips and show off an hourglass figure. This is the kind of look she might consider adopting. It's covertly sexy rather than …

Kate Middleton, the enchanting wife of Prince William, has a very good eye for style, and she knows what suits her. Nevertheless, every now and then she picks something that doesn’t flatter her perfect hourglass figure. Most often, Kate shows off her tiny waist.

Tiger Woods doesn't feel very good about himself, and that's understandable. Instinctively, when a man wants to hide or crawl into a big black hole and disappear, he grows a beard - and occasionally a goatee. Think of Al Gore after the presidential election. Of course, Tiger is also very vain, so perhaps he looked …

Fuchsia is a regal color, as Princess Charlene of Monaco proved in grand style. Jewel tones are the rage this year, and none is more flattering to women than fuchsia. It's feminine, flattering and fabulous. What more can you ask for. One fashion journalist derided the style of the young Princess, but I think her …

Pantyhose sales are up and women are emulating the stylish Duchess. “Don’t give in,” these “liberated” women cry in …
