Leave it to the French to take it up a notch. We saw those carefree and adorable boyfriend beanies on the street style ladies of London Fashion Week. And, now for Paris Fashion Week, we have the super chic knit hats by way of a turban and an oversized pom-pom looking so right with dressed up city fun colors. >> MORE: RUNWAY & STREET STYLE TRENDS I have to admit that I've always been a bit shizzled about wearing turbans.

As the stars start to arrive, let's look at Oscar Red Carpet Fashion 2013. It's not exactly a year of thrills and chills for fashion. More like a year of safe, pale, and boring, with a few stunning exceptions. SCULPTED SILHOUETTES- Naomi Watts pictured above and below, in Armani Prive looks like a movie star. An exceptional aspirational gown as described by Armani as a "custom Giorgio Armani gown fully envelope in layered gunmetal grey sequins. The other worldly gown features galactic cap sleeves and an abstract triangle cut out in the front. The fitted bodice cascades into a slightly pooling train creating an architecturalsilhouette."

Dear Sharon: I'm 25 years old and work for a professional services firm. I usually wear smart shirts and trousers to work but I've got to admit that I'm a little bored of the usual black trouser, shoes and belt and trying to understand how to wear navy with brown to come out of my comfort zone. Recently, I bought navy blue straight (almost pencil type) three-quarter trousers from Zara and they came with a chocolate brown belt. The problem is that I want to hold onto the belt but not sure what colour shoes to wear with it. Also, does the brown shade of the belt have to be the same as those of my shoes? Any help is appreciated. Thanks. (A. via Fashion Advice) More Nine West...
