Scottish Style — Follow Kate Middleton's Lead in Tartan Accessories

Yesterday in Edinburgh, Kate Middleton showed her Scottish spirit by carrying a folded Strathearn scarf to Prince William's Knight of the Order of the Thistle service.

Yesterday in Edinburgh, Kate Middleton showed her Scottish spirit by carrying a folded Strathearn scarf to Prince William's Knight of the Order of the Thistle service. The neckwear was a nod to her Scottish title as the Countess of Strathearn, and was another example of Kate recycling her wardrobe as she also held the same tartan scarf during the Diamond Jubilee flotilla. The Duchess of Cambridge was wearing her latte sisal straw Whiteley beret for the third time, but her bespoke primrose yellow Emilia Wickstead coat dress was a first. Last week while in London, Rihanna also worked tartan into her accessories, while Rita Ora wore shoes in the classic print the month before during the X Factor auditions. Shop my tartan picks below!

Whose On-Stage Festival Fashion Was Most Fab This Weekend?

This weekend, the UK got fully into festival season with not one but two big music events — the Isle of Wight and BBC Radio 1 Hackney Weekend.

This weekend, the UK got fully into festival season with not one but two big music events — the Isle of Wight and BBC Radio 1 Hackney Weekend. Singers from both sides of the Atlantic brought their best on-stage style to Newport and Hackney Marshes, with Jessie J and Lana Del Rey hot footing it from the island to East London to sing at both bashes. Jessie J made a statement with her trousers at each performance, donning seriously ripped jeans on the Isle of Wight then a monochrome striped pair at Hackney Weekend, while Lana bared her legs in a pair of denim hot pants and fringe tshirt then a red bubble skirt dress. Rihanna chose short shorts too as she took to the London stage on Saturday and Sunday, while Leona Lewis bared her midriff, Rita Ora was head-to-toe prints and Florence Welch went for a waterfall hem gown. Take a look at them all here and tell me who was most fab!

Time Celebrates 100 Influential People With Hillary, Kristen, Amy, Chelsea, and More

Time magazine celebrated its 100 Most Influential People last night with a huge bash held inside Jazz at Lincoln Center.

Time magazine celebrated its 100 Most Influential People last night with a huge bash held inside Jazz at Lincoln Center. Honorees like Kristen Wiig, Chelsea Handler, Claire Danes, Hillary Clinton, Tilda Swinton, and Rihanna all turned out for the mingling and partying. Stephen Colbert, who also made the list, gave opening remarks. He gave shout-outs to Kristen and Spanx creator Sara Blakely. Stephen joked, "Kristen, congratulations on the Time 100. Lovely to see you. Her movie, Bridesmaids, huge success, and proved once and for all to the Hollywood boys club that women can have explosive diarrhea, too — you are a feminist icon. Brava, madam. But perhaps the most influential person on the list is here, Sara Blakely, the inventor of the Spanx . . . No one, no one has done more to control women's bodies, except maybe [Catholic] Cardinal Dolan."

It seems the jokes and good times continued for the honorees, who happily posed for photos together. A Stella McCartney-clad Kristen Wiig made the rounds talking to her funny friends like Seth Meyers, Amy Poehler, Louis CK, and Aubrey Plaza. Rihanna hit the red carpet in a pink Marchesa gown before changing to perform on stage, while Claire Danes donned Lanvin to hang out backstage. Secretary of State Clinton may have been the most popular, though, as she shook hands and said hello to NY Knicks player Jeremy Lin, Amy, Chelsea, Harvey Weinstein, Barbara Walters, Matt Lauer, Tyra Banks, and more!

Rihanna is topless in one of the new pictures she's just shared from her January vacation in Hawaii. The singer recovered from a big weekend at Coachella by posting a handful of new images on her Facebook page from the late Winter getaway. Rihanna was among the many stars at Coachella in Indio, CA, on Saturday and Sunday. The music festival gave Rihanna a chance to meet up with her pal Katy Perry. After Rihanna's Sunday show, the two girls had a chance to party together. Now Rihanna's back to focusing on her music and film career. She's in the middle of a global press tour for the blockbuster Battleship and is also counting down until the debut of her new single, "Where Have You Been."

Brooklyn Decker's style has been on great display so far during her action movie press tour, and today's gold lamé-sleeved J. Mendel gown didn't disappoint. Brooklyn looked refreshed after a fun weekend with two girlfriends. She had a visit from pals Chrissy Teigen and Erin Andrews, and the trio spent the Easter holiday together sightseeing, lounging in bikinis, and fitting in workouts. The girls even shared a scenic boat tour with Rihanna yesterday. Today, though, was all about business for Rihanna and Brooklyn, who spent the afternoon doing phone interviews.

The press tour continues for the cast before heading back to the States prior to the film's May 18 opening.

This is Rihanna's first major film role, and it seems she's already eyeing another part. Rihanna's interested in playing Whitney Houston if the right opportunity should come her way. She said, "That's a huge, huge role and whoever does it has to do a good job."
