Everett Collection (2); Courtesy PhotoIn honor of the golden anniversary of James Bond--the movie franchise turns 50 this year!--nail polish brand OPI created a gold leaf top coat aptly named The Man with the Golden Gun. "Bond beauties have graced the big screen with their dazzling looks and opulent style, and gold has always played a prominent role," said OPI artistic director Suzi Weiss-Fischmann. "Gold transcends time." The new hue creates a chic texture by itself or layered on top of other colors. Shop the limited-edition lacquer for $30 starting in October, just in time for the new Daniel Craig-fronted Skyfall release, in theaters November 9th.

After sitting out the Olympics-we were hoping for at least one spotting with her cheerleader sister Catherine-the royal-in-law emerged to walk the red carpet at last night's Shadow Dancer premiere in London. She turned to Alice Temperley's Alice line for her look, one of her favorite British labels, and chose the Sweetheart Ruby dress featuring a black stretch bodice and white lace neckline. "They're completely easy and wonderful to work with, and they look great in the clothes," Temperley told InStyle.com of outfitting the Middletons. "They know exactly what they like." The look is actually still available (though probably not for long) for $225, down from $450 at temperleylondon.com. You can also find on sale for $253 at farfetch.com.

Talk about ending the Olympics on a high note -- The Spice Girls reunited for the Olympics Closing Ceremony last night! And their performances of "Wannabe" and "Spice Up Your Life" left us wanting more, more, more. "We did it!" Victoria Beckham -- who looked more posh than ever -- Tweeted to the rest of the group. "I love you girls so much!"We loved how they gave a modern revamp to their signature '90s looks, from Ginger Spice's Union Jack dress to Sporty Spice's athletic getup. (And Scary Spice Mel B loved her look so much, she wore it to the after parties!) Take a look back at each girl's signature style, from '90s to now in the gallery.

Christian Louboutin's "Un Bout" pump is one of the most popular shoes in Hollywood right now, with Brooklyn Decker, Jennifer Lopez, Ashley Madekwe, and Emma Stone all scooping up the crimson version of these illusion heels. We love how Lopez and Stone defied the matchy-matchy rule by pairing the heels with scarlet dresses in the same color, and also how Decker and Madekwe highlighted the splashes of red in their ensembles with Louboutin's design. While the strawberry shade was popular for spring (and sadly no longer available), Louboutin rolled out a new black version for fall, complete with spikes and studs ($1,435 at net-a-porter.com).

See more celebrities in shoes we love -- plus, information on where to buy them -- in the gallery.

While we sat and watched the Olympics from our couches this weekend, Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge was getting her cardio in, jetting to and from events to cheer on Great Britain's finest. She watched sailing in a windproof jacket, track and field in a navy topper with red piping, and swimming in polka-dot top, skinny black jeans, and a red blazer from Zara (buy it for $100 at zara.com, see inset). You could also see her in the stands at handball, gymnastics, and hockey. And we love how down-to-earth she is about her Olympic Village takeover. Not only did she excite Jordyn Wieber of the Fab Five on Team USA's women's gymnastics team -- "Can't believe I just met Princess Kate Middleton! She was in the crowd at the competition and she stood up to talk to us!" Wieber Tweeted -- she also wears a no-nonsense all-access pass that reads HRH Duchess of Cambridge, Honored Guest. Like anyone needs reminding! Click ahead to see more of her best outfits, beyond Great Britain's red, white, and
