Rachel Bilson is sweet with an edge in a ruffled white dress and spiky bootiesStars strutted on the blue carpet this weekend in their Sunday best. While some like Rachel Bilson and Blake Lively looked chic, others like Tyra Banks bombed. Here's a breakdown of the night's hottest looks as well as the unfortunate missteps.

Kelly H asks: I've seen a lot of polka dots on the runways and in magazines. What's a chic way to wear this trend in real life without being too over the top?

W: I recently wrote about polka dot tights for fall and the polka dot trend in magazines and on the runway. The tights are a great way to try out this trend without investing too much. They're fun, light and whimsical and you can pair them with anything from dresses to skirts and trenches. Since dots come in different sizes, I would suggest going with smaller dots to start out. The dress below is a $15 find at Walmart (My theory is that you never know where you'll find a hidden gem). I love the one shoulder look because it allows you to show off just the right amount of skin and the layers and frills of the dress add to the fun and flirty feel that come with the polka dot print. I added a pop of color with a yellow bag and kept my shoes neutral so as not to take away from the print. Hope this helps!

Many would say yellow during the summer is a no brainer. The color itself is associated with so many positive things that the warm weather brings... the sun, lightness, fun, happiness and not to forget, the smiley face. So it comes as no surprise that this color has been a major staple this season. It's a very easy and uncomplicated color to wear and almost everyone can get away with wearing the right shade. Below are some favorite summer yellow looks that make us feel all bright and shiny...

Style Tip: Avoid looking like Big Bird by keeping things simple when it comes to this color. You can definitely take a risk and play with certain styles and get away with it but for most, we'd say - no frills, definitely no feathers and no complicated twists. Just a simple structured or streamlined look....well unless you're Rihanna (see below).

Ginnifer Goodwin takes a fashionable risk in a gorgeous lemon Roksanda Ilincic dress

Roksanda Ilincic is fast becoming one of Hollywood's hottest go-to designers for elegant as well as statement making pieces. The Serbian-born, London-based designer has dressed Hollywood and royalty alike - the Duchess of Cambridge Catherine Middleton landed in Los Angeles in one of her creations.

Above, Ginnifer Goodwin who's not new to experimenting with fashion sported a lemon Ilincic number at this year's comic con. Below is the original runway look from Ilincic's 2011 resort collection.

As much as I appreciate that Ms. Goodwin rarely goes for cookie cutter fashion, I have to say that I prefer the the original runway look. The hemline and bubble skirt work better on the original and would have been killer on the actress...she still gets an A for effort.

What do you think of Ginnifer's look?
