Oh, it hurts us to do this. It really does. We love Emma Thompson -- she's on our list of people we'd have lunch with if we could have lunch with anyone in the world. She's talented and funny and beautiful. And, unfortunately, at the UK premiere of Brideshead Revisted, she was badly dressed in a shapeless, shiny coat.

Some people have expectations about who should win certain awards at the Emmy's. We, on the other hand, have certain expectations regarding dresses.

Come on, you do too -- haven't you ever watched the red carpet and thought, "Gee, that dress is okay, but I'd love to see her in this"? We think that all the time, so we've tried a few dresses on some of our favorite nominees to see how they fit. It's not necessarily that we don't like what they wore last year, but let's just say we have high hopes for this Sunday!

Shannen Doherty might not be what most of us would consider a role model, but it sounds like her attitude toward self-esteem might be something other actresses could aspire to. The 37-year-old 90210 actress has said that she'll never change her looks through plastic surgery.

"These are my looks, whether you like them or not," said Doherty. "They work for me. I have a gap in the middle of my teeth. You know how many people wanted to cover that gap?"

Right around this time each year, rumors begin to run rampant about key fashion week faces, so we're going to take this latest bit of news about a certain IMG catwalker with a grain of salt:

Apparently, former Prada campaign girl, Gemma Ward, will soon be officially retiring from modeling -- opting instead to pursue a career in Hollywood as an actress. Earlier this year, Gemma stared in two films: The Strangers, where she played an evil killer who hides behind a mask and The Black Balloon, a feel good film where Gemma plays the girlfriend of boy trying to cope with his brother's mental disability.

One time in an interview, Gemma said she only began modeling because people told her it would help her acting career. So the jump to become a full-time actress isn't that big of stretch. Plus, with acting, no one will probably care as much when the already thin 6'0 beauty decides to eat hamburger or some other food no one should be freaking out about.

We love Emmy Rossum. We just do. She's so darn pretty, and seems like a really sweet girl, and, best of all, is almost always well dressed. We wish we could bottle up that bright and shiny fresh-faced thing she's got going and dab it on when we're feeling dull. Or maybe sell it. But we'd keep a little for ourselves, for sure.

Anyhoo, Emmy came out for the 3.1 Phillip Lim Los Angeles store opening earlier this summer, and we just loved her look. It's youthful and fun, but not so young that it can only be worn by Hollywood's youngest. And, this shade of yellow is great going into fall -- still bright and fun, but with less of a neon aftertaste. Want this look for yourself?

We absolutely love to see young celebrities mix up their glam, red carpet attire with some fun accessories, which might be why we're digging Selena Gomez's look at this year's Teen Choice Awards. The cute-as-a-button actress artfully mixes sweet, sexy, trendy, and fun looks to get this ensemble, and we think it could be tweaked to easily make a fabulous outfit for you.

Clearly celebrities spend inordinate amounts of time and money keeping themselves as thin and beautiful as possible. But while some actress (like Jennifer Aniston, for instance) are dropping thousands of dollars a month on beauty treatments, others are working hard...to get fat.

It only stands to reason that, at a photocall for her new movie, Get Smart, Anne Hathaway would look smart, and she absolutely does. She is sleek and polished, but still manages to look approachable and friendly -- not a look everyone can carry off.

Why should you want this look? Well, just think about occasions where you want to look gorgeous, but not over the top; professional, but not standoffish -- this is the look you need. And we're going to tell you how to get it!

Keira Knightley has, on occasion, made some questionable red carpet fashion statements. It goes without saying that her incredibly thin build allows her to wear many styles with ease, but every once in a while she seems to get wrapped up in the whole, "I'm so tiny, I can wear anything" mindset and ends up wearing things that look like they've been thrown away, shredded, thrown away again, and then made into a dress.

The London premiere of Edge of Love was not one of those instances. She looked absolutely amazing in a jewel-toned purple Erdem dress, and we find no reason you can't get a look like this for yourself. Here's how:

This year's Tony Awards had several, uh, interesting outfits, and while many of them did little more than raise an eyebrow, Mary Louise Parker went far above interesting -- all the way to fabulous. She took a chance with the fabrics and totally pulled it off.

What's even more exciting about this outfit is that the overall look is completely attainable for a mere mortal. Check out the gallery -- we'll show you how!

Not only is Emma Watson the cleverest witch of her age in the Harry Potter movies, but she's also apparently an awfully clever young actress. According to the Daily Mail, the 18-year-old has landed a £3 million deal with Chanel.

Emma, who recently signed up with the modeling agency Storm will take over for Keira Knightly as the new face of Chanel's Coco Mademoiselle fragrance. Chanel has been dressing the young starlet for premieres and parties over the last few months and is now apparently convinced that the actress best known for her role as Hermione Granger wears the brand elegantly enough to represent it.

Roselyn Sanchez looked gorgeous on the red (err, purple) carpet at the Seventh Annual Chrysalis Butterfly Ball, an event which raised a million dollars to help California's homeless men and women find employment. She rocked the Grecian goddess look -- a summertime favorite that's really simple to replicate at home. Check out the gallery to see how!

Kristin Davis, who plays Charlotte in Sex and the City, is launching her own clothing line with Belk.

Now, why would Kristin choose to launch a line at Belk, rather than Nordstrom, Neiman Marcus, Bergdorf Goodman, or one of the other higher end department stores? She has a very personal reason: "I grew up shopping at Belk. It was the nicest store we had, and I'd save my allowance to go to Belk."

Natalie Portman certainly showed her love of ruffles at this year's Cannes Film Festival. Nearly every dress she wore was covered in them! And while ruffles can be overwhelming, we love so many aspects of this look that we're willing to forget about the fact that you can't tell whether she's got a waist or a baby belly.

We know how you can successfully pull off a look similar to Natalie's -- check out the gallery to get the scoop!

So far Woody Allen's new movie, Vicky Cristina Barcelona, has been a huge success at Cannes. There was a ten minute standing ovation after the film's debut, and critics and fans alike have applauded the film's stars from the moment they stepped on the red carpet.

Well, some of the film's stars, anyway -- Penelope Cruz and Rebecca Hall got to enjoy the praise, but Scarlett Johansson didn't make the trip to Cannes this year because the studio wouldn't accommodate her requests.
