Recent Vogue cover girl Emma Watson wowed us again in the voluminous Oscar de la Renta she wore to the premiere of Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows Part II. The dreamy gown set the bar pretty high for the rest of the international red carpets Emma Watson will be walking for Harry Potter. I combed the collections to find the looks that align with the Oscar and the choices Emma Watson has made for past red carpets - there's no need to mess with some seriously stellar style.

What do you think Emma Watson will grace the red carpet in next?

Let's be honest, on scorching days like today, the last thing you want to wear is some sticky, clingy number that you'll probably sweat through by lunchtime. We all want to look our best, no matter what the temperature, but that can be hard to do when all you really want to put on is a bathing suit. Difficult as it may be, you should never let the whether take away from your style sensibilities.

You always have options - so instead of settling for frumpsville, opt for a breathable, light cotton dress to keep you cool all summer long. Click through for 15 fab dresses under $100 to get you started. Okay so it's actually more like 14 under $100. That T by Alex Wang dress is about $15 over, but it's just too cute to leave off the list. What can I say? Sometimes a girl just needs a little wallet wiggle room.

The fact that weeklies are still going on and on about Brad and Angelina and Jen after about 17,000 years just proves how banal and tired the celebrity dating gossip has become. Want to know what's way hotter? Rumors about two perfect models secretly dating.

Mom and solidified it-girl Arizona Muse is reportedly dating Chanel campaign face Freja Beha Erichsen, per a blurb in Joann Pailey's couture diary that reads, "The rumor mill is churning in our row. Apparently, Freja Erichsen and Arizona Muse are dating." Freja has also been linked to Cat McNeil and Irina Lazareanu, which must just mean she has really good taste to go along with those awesome tattoos.

And in searching for an image for this post, I'm led to think that perhaps this rumor shouldn't have been so breaking?

Lady Gaga put on her editor hat once again for the latest edition of V Magazine, and we all know that she takes her hats very seriously. In the issue that hits newsstands today, she writes, "If you were to ask me to remove my Philip Treacy hat at a party, in truth it is the emotional and physical equivalent of requesting I remove my liver." Yikes.

It's evident by now that Mother Monster tends to be a bit theatrical in all aspects of her life-especially her wardrobe choices-but she took to the pages of V to dispute the notion that it's all a performance. She claims that sheis theater and theater is her, and that she "knows not the difference between a moment of performance and a moment of honesty." So, in less confusing language, I suppose that she's trying to say she was "born this way."

She advises her Little Monsters to do as she has done and live out their fantasies, which will eventually

It turns out that opposites don't really attract after all, at least not in the looks department. It sounds pretty shallow, but the matching hypothesis is a real thing. It says that we naturally select partners based on whether they have a similar desirability level to our own.

Now, it's no surprise that people with similar interests and personalities tend to be naturally attracted to one another, both romantically and platonically. But who knew popularity and hotness played such a key factor in finding aperfect love match? Researchers at Berkeley sought to test whether or not the matching hypothesis is actually valid - and as it turns out, it is.

They tested over 3,000 users of an online dating site to find out if "individuals tend to seek out romantic relationship partners who approximately equal them in terms of social desirability." What they found was that "individuals with greater

Karma's a b---- , as evidenced by the iced coffee you spilled on your top this morning. Interested in putting forth some positive vibes toward the universe? Just go shopping. No, really. Nicole Miller has expanded her collaboration with nonprofit Indego Africa to include shorts and sarongs... and they're really cute.

The pieces come in colorful African fabrics, hand selected from markets in Rwanda. Indego Africa partners with 250 women artisans in Rwanda on a fair trade basis to put them in touch with high-end retailers like the Nicole Miller line. Fifteen percent of profits are donated to Indego Africa, which then reinvests all of that into the long-term skills training programs to empower the women into becoming independent entrepreneurs.

Lucky for you, the shorts, sarongs and just-as-cute bracelets and bangles that started the collaboration are available online, all for under $70. Nirvana is just

The couture collections that are walking in Paris this week could be described as dramatic, intricate and exquisite, but wearable? Not so much. The handmade creations are certainly not intended for everyday wear, but one of the accessories that popped up on a few of the runways thus far is something that almost every girl can incorporate into her wardrobe.

Hair bows (or variations on them) were shown at Armani Privé, Giambattista Valli and Christian Dior, and although they're definitely a little large-and a lotfunky-it's a piece that's both pretty and simple to make on your own. Just make sure you don't go overboard-remember when Tavi was berated during Couture Week last year by editors who couldn't see the shows over her bow? Don't let that happen to you!

Would you try this tied-up topper come fall?
