Though she may be most notorious for being best friends with Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian is the stark opposite of most Hollywood celebutantes -- she's created two successful fashion-based businesses and manages to keep her clothes on in public (no small feat in LA to be sure). A stunning brunette in a sea of gorgeous blondes, Kardashian is a fave of celebrity tabloids everywhere.

Okay, so this is a particularly Kim Kardashian California look -- I mean, you'd be hard-pressed to find someone rocking such a colorful, skin-baring outfit during the day in any other big city in the US. Anyway, we totally dig it -- but it doesn't have to be as unforgiving as it may seem at first glance. Don't be afraid of the bright colors -- just pick a silhouette that works for you. A babydoll shape works great to hide a tummy. And a longer length camouflages bigger thighs.

Doesn't it sometimes seem as if you only see celebs either totally dressed to the nines for the red carpet or completely slumming it in velour sweats? Here's Kim K, striking the perfect balance between the two -- but in a honest, straight-up casual way. She layers a white long-sleeve scoop-neck tee shirt under a sleeveless red cardigan, and, for shape, she ties on a casual black woven belt. Easy peasy.

Even though Kim Kardashian doesn't fit the stereotypical California-girl look -- after all, there are no blonde hair, blue eyes here -- her style is definitely West Coast glamour. There's a simple, casual feeling around this ultra-sexy bandage dress by Herve Leger, mostly because Kim doesn't pile on the accessories -- her long hair, gold clutch, and gold T-strap sandals are enough to carry the super-simple dress.

It's always gratifying to know that Hollywood celebs aren't all that different than normal women -- of course, they may have the time and luxury to devote loads of money and effort to the way they look (after all, that is a huge part of their jobs), but take a tip from Kim here. She's just rocking a simple white button-down shirt and a paneled, pinstriped pencil skirt that has a little stretch in it. The pinstriping? Totally slimming. And the paneling makes the pencil skirt curvy. Plus, who doesn't like a little stretch. Ah, so flattering.
