We ALL know that Taylor Swift pretty much has the red shade ON LOCK lately, but tonight it's Rita Ora who's rocking the fiery hue at the 2012 MTV EMA. Hot on the heels of her adorable new video for "Shine Ya Light," the singer hit the red carpet in Frankfurt wearing a bright cherry-colored gown by Marchesa. It miiiight not be the only time Rita wears red tonight (hint: tune in for her performance later!), BUT this statement-making dress is definitely worth talking about right this second. With a floral embellished nude top and a voluminous long skirt, the look is yet another style departure for the pop star, who's been trading her signature sneakers for heels recently. However, she's not the first one to sport this long-sleeved, floral, and full-skirt combination...is it just us, or does this outfit totally remind you of Rihanna's 2010 American Music Awards dress?!

Kristen Stewart promotes 'On The Road.'
Photo: Getty Images

It's official: sometimes a really great outfit works just as well as coffee at waking us up. Don't believe it? Just check out Kristen Stewart, who has made dreary Monday morning a LOT more exciting with this seriously eye-opening ensemble. There's no doubt the actress has been upping her fashion game in a whole new way recently (her creepy Halloween costume and otherwise), but her latest style transformation might be the best one yet. Hot on the heels of her recent Glamour Poland cover, the star hit the red carpet this weekend to promote On The Road wearing—wait for it...a sleek white bustier top. Whoa. The menswear-inspired look comes courtesy of Balenciaga's Spring/Summer 2013 collection, which makes Kristen THE very first person to rock the outfit off the runway. Considering her supertight status with the label's designer, Nicolas Ghesquière, we're not at all surprised about this special treatment. But now that Ghesquière shockingly announced his departure from the French fashion house this morning, what does that mean for K.Stew's relationship with the brand?

Just putting it out there, Taylor Swift MUST have superhuman powers or something. Besides selling a record-breaking 1.2 million copies of her new album Red in its very first week, she manages to head straight from a whirlwind promo tour in NYC back home to Nashville for the Country Music Awards. Whew! We're tired just thinking about it. And the biggest (although not that surprising) accomplishment? Even with a crazed schedule like this one, she still looks gorgeous. For several weeks now Taylor's been driving her Red message home with—what else?—a closet full of red clothing. The CMA Awards last night proved no different, as the pop star worked not just one but two different cherry-hued dresses on the carpet and onstage.

Kristen Stewart promotes 'Twilight in Japan'/models in the Louis Vuitton SS13 runway show.

Alright, so we all know that Kristen Stewart likes to keep it casual while she's traipsing through airports, hitting up music festivals, or just chilling at home in L.A. But when there's a red carpet event, the girl cranks up the fashion swag and turns it ON. She's been overseas promoting her latest movie, a little film called Twilight Breaking Dawn: Part 2(maybe you've heard of it?) wearing a Louis Vuitton romper. Uh, wait a second- this isn't just any LV romper...it's hot off the Paris Spring/Summer13 runways, and the actress is the very first person to wear it off the catwalk! Whoa.

Diligent Destiny's Child fans already know that 2012 marks the 15th anniversary of the release of the group's first single "No, No, No" which catapulted DC into household name status. Beyonce announced via her website, that DC would be releasing a commemorative album, called Playlist: The Very Best of Destiny's Child, chock full of tracks from the group's 15 years. Along with pumping out enough hits to secure their spot as one of the biggest girl groups of all time, Destiny's Child was infamous for their seeeeeerious style game. In honor of the past 15 years of Bey, Kelly, Michelle, and yes, Farrah, LaTavia and LeToya, too, we rounded up 15 of DC's iconic looks. Check 'em all out after the jump and just TRY not to get nostalgic.

Pretty sure we have Gwen Stefani to thank for the '90s bindi trend, but that doesn't mean we'll ever forget the quadruple wink at Mumbai fashion.

Demi Lovato may be feeling the '90s vibes these days with chokers and grunge-inspired beauty, but she's not the ONLY one having a style flashback. Emma Watson worked her own take on a major '90s trend this week, showing up to a special screening of The Perks of Being a Wallflower in London wearing...a dress over pants. Yep, whether you like it or not- the look officially back! The trend has been slowly infiltrating the runways, with designers like Lanvin, Dries van Noten and Acne showing in the past, and was a big hit this season as well, thanks to Chris Benz and Diane Von Furstenberg, who paraded the layers down the catwalk for Spring 2013. Considering our girl Emma is always one to hop on the trends early, it's not REALLY that surprising that she's ahead of the game. But considering her love for structural minidresses by emerging designers (see: Brood), the choice to rock this Christian Dior Couture number IS a little unexpected.

Nina Dobrev Kat Graham

Sometimes we like to think that stars call each other up before major events, BFF-style, to talk about what they're planning on wearing and how they should coordinate outfits. And while that's probably not the case, our theory still makes total sense given Nina Dobrev and Kat Graham at this weekend's iHeartRadio festival. The two gorgeous Vampire Diaries costars both worked shimmery metallic minidresses at the event, complete with lace overlay and high necks. But wait a sec- the similarities don't end there! Nina and Kat ALSO had peekaboo cutout backs, which they each flaunted on the red carpet. We can always count on the duo to set trends separately, but when we're lucky enough to catch them together? Yep, it's pretty much a stylesetter EXPLOSION.

As much as we love a classic red, black, or white red carpet look, there's something about citrus that really has us going after the 2012 Emmy Awards red carpet. Whether we're talkin' shades of yellow, orange, or green, all the colors of our favorite vitamin C packed treats lit up some of our favorite actresses tonight. Claire Danes in lemon, Julie Bowen in electric green, and Padma Lakshmi in rich orange were only the beginning of this sartorial fruit basket, and we love, love, loved all of the bright, peppy looks.

YELLOW

When we think of yellow red carpet looks, we often think of eternal sunshine yellow fan Solange Knowles in her signature hue. However, she's not the only one who can rock the sunshine look. Homeland actress and Emmy winner Claire Danes wore a beautifully draped Lanvin strapless number, complemented happily by her ever expanding baby bump (we're totally imagining little Angela Chases right now). She let the dress carry the look, keeping her neck bare and wearing her hair in soft, loose waves. On the more structured side of the spectrum, Julianne Moore wore a long sleeved, floor length Dior gown that was both classic and directional. With a sleek crew neck,fitted sleeves and a wide, deeply pleated a-line skirt, the dress was quite a statement. Julianne made it pop even more by wearing a red lipstick even brighter than her signature gorgeous red hair. Lastly, Big Bang Theory's Kaley Cuoco wore a strapless, beautifully structured Angel Sanchez gown in our favorite, most pucker-inducing shade of lemon, with an exquisite, architectural peplum and simple side braid.

emmys awards beauty

We all know that bold, red, va-va-vooom lips may scream "Old Hollywood" 99% of the time, but at tonight's Emmy Awards, stars proved that sometimes it's a less-is-more beauty look that REALLY gets the attention. Nude, skin-toned, naked...whatever you want to call it, this hue totally dominated the makeup game, with everyone from Kate Mara to Lena Dunham sporting the trend. Lena and Kate both paired their lips with a smokey, dark eye, adding a seriously sultry edge to an otherwise demure look. The surprising result is simultaneously innocent AND seductive, and we're pretty much obsessed. Also, is it just us, or do the deep side parts, light brown/reddish hair color and rosy cheeks on the actresses look strikingly similar? Clearly these two are on to something, and let's just say this pale lip look packs a MAJOR punch.

I love these two as a couple. What a festive way to celebrate two important events in their life. Mariah looks like a dream.
