German supermodel Claudia Schiffer polishes her ’70s flares by wearing a belt and an appropriate-length top that meets the dark jean’s medium rise.

Sharon Stone should’ve used better basic instincts before piling on every jewel tone known to man. The sleek Fendi runway look becomes oversaturated with the addition of her gold-embellished, hot-pink shawl. A neutral shoe would’ve been a better choice and made her legs appear longer. Frederick M.

Instead of stepping out in a full gender-bending suit, Charlize Theron (left) adds a measured dose of dapper duds with a hip-length cream blazer by Stella McCartney.
