WHO WORE ROBERTO CAVALLI BEST?

Geri Halliwell and Halle Berry both rock similar takes of this low-cut Roberto Cavalli gown but who wore the look best? Vote for who got it on the bottom of this post.

In a magenta Roberto Cavalli dress with a funky embroidery design, a pre-pregnant Halle Berry struck a leggy pose at the 2006 BAFTA/LA Cunard Brittania Awards. The Oscar-winning actress completed her look with a pair of gold hoops, a slick ponytail, and coffee-colored ankle heels.

Geri Halliwell, flaunting her toned post-baby bod, rock the creme take of this Roberto Cavalli creation for a recent Spice Girls photo shoot. Halliwell paired her dress with a gold bracelet and a glittery pair of heels.

MOTIF TEES

Stylish, fun motifs on the front of tee-shirts are very much a hot commotion in Hollywood. Beyonce Knowles, America Ferrera, Kate Moss, Brittany Murphy, Nicole Scherzinger, Halle Berry, Jessica Simpson and Rihanna are just a handful of celebs rocking this trendy look. Besides isn't a simple tee is a fresh alternative to a blouse or a button-up collar top?

If you're logo-obsessed like America Ferrera and Jessica Simpson, try "Fly Girl" Dereon tee. Try this black ruched tee from Baby Phat. Try this a white crew neck tee from L.A.M.B.

If you like to make a statement like Halle Berry and Rihanna, try "Obama For Yo Mama" tee from Urban-Outfitters, this "I'm Nothing Without My Hoffee" tee from Urban-Outfitters or try this "Police" tee from Shop Intuition.

If you like a motif design like Nicole Scherzinger, Beyonce Knowles and Kate Moss, try this silk beaded top from Vera Wang lavender label or this "Lisa Grue Bunny" tee from Urban-Outfitters and finally try this "Miss Marc Vacation" tee from Marc Jacobs.

This 'motif tee shirt" style might be impractical for the winter season. So I'll suggest pairing this look with a cotton knit Henley. American Apparel has long sleeve tees in all shapes and sizes. Be sure to try Urban-Outfitters for additional tee-shirts in all styles.

Christina Aguilera goes in for a baby check-up at a doctor’s office in Beverly Hills on Halloween day. Mariah Carey promoted her "M by Mariah Carey" fragrance at the Today Show. Halle Berry at a photocall for her film, "Things We Lose in the Fire".

Browse Shop Intuition's Sweaters & Cardigans section for pieces. Personally a belted sweater coat works on every body shape.

GUCCI: WHO GOT IT?

For the "Cosmopolitan" magazine cover shot, actress and KEDS spokesmodel Mischa Barton wore this orange Gucci by Tom Ford organza dress.

At the "Gothika" premiere, a pregnant Halle Berry rock the same low-cut dress from Gucci's Fall 2003 collection.

Style Verdict: "Gothika" Hollywood premiere was the same event that Ashton Kutcher famously pulls a prank via an episode of his hit TV show, "Punk'D" on Halle Berry's expense. Mischa was at the peak of her "The O.C" hoopla. Tom Ford was still designing couture pieces. -sigh!-

Halle Berry flaunts her baby bump at the Rome premiere of her film, "Things We Lost in the Fire" last night. The Revlon model paired her satin and tweed sheath with a comfy knit black sweater.

Style Verdict: Both ladies look fabulous despites how hard Mandy is trying to look gothic. Blonde 'bob best suits Mandy. Halle gets extra kudos for her baby bump, though.

Ever since Halle announced she's pregnant, Halle's red carpet looks kick up a notch. Deck out in Catherine Malandrino, John Galliano for Christian Dior, Roberto Cavalli, and Versace, Halle has made being pregnant stylish. Case in point, Halle wore a black asymmetrical Valentino Red dress mini at the L.A premiere of her latest film project.

The Oscar-winning actress recently revealed her maternity chic style:

I think I feel like I'm such a slave to fashion. It's a hard concept for me to fathom that I'm going to have to wear maternity clothes."

But, as she also sees it, "Fashion is on my side." Indicating her empire waist, she adds, "Everything is up here and shift-y, so I think I can work it out in normal clothes with normal designers in their collections until the eighth or ninth month, then I might have to break down and do maternity."

Check out more of Halle's pregnancy style as reported on earlier here.
