Channel your inner Chuck Bass (if you don’t watch Gossip Girl, we can’t help you) in these preppy slim-leg, flag logo chinos for a classic all-American look. Accessorise with a cravat and velvet smoking jacket for the pure Bass homage or a check shirt and loafer for a less cad-like style.

Diane Kruger (oh, how we want to swap wardrobes with her) wore a spiky Atelier Versace uber-mini with a cutout back to the LA premiere of Inglourious Basterds, where she shared the red carpet with the Jolie-Pitts. We love her pared-back hair and simple clutch but mostly we love the blue soles of her shoes. Photograph: Steve Granitz/WireImage
