Miranda Kerr Looks Cute, Luna Park Looks Scary

The only thing we love more than fashion is fashion for a cause. Miranda Kerr was named the ambassador of Australia's Kids Helpline yesterday at Luna Park and looked appropriately sweet for the occasion.

The darling Aussie model wore a fun flared print dress courtesy of Peter Pilotto to the Sidney theme park—this was the second time she's been seen wearing the pattern-loving designer to a public function. She paired the number with chunky white sandals, and while we'd love to discuss her perpetually flawless hair and makeup, we're too distracted by the eerie watchful eye over her shoulder. Creepiest theme park ever? Let's hope the real thing isn't quite as haunting. Regardless, we have yet another reason to love Ms. Kerr.



Victoria Justice Talks Makeup, Winter Style, and Love

We already had a serious style crush on Victoria Justice, but running into her at Alice + Olivia's Fall 2013 presentation last night only made our hearts grow fonder. The adorable 19-year-old actress was decked out in a floral peplum dress, chunky '80s earrings, and bright red lipstick. She was super friendly and eager to answer our pressing questions—like how the heck do you dress cute in the cold? What products (specifically!) does she use for that flawless complexion? And, of course, what pearls of wisdom does she have about love?

StyleBistro: It's freezing! What's your go-to cold weather outfit?
Victoria Justice: I have this one great coat from Zara that's kind of military inspired. And then just a great scarf, I love bold colors because I feel like it really makes my skin color pop. And just throwing on a hat, I love slouchy beanies!

SB: Your skin is so flawless, what products do you use to make that happen?
VJ: For everyday skinwear, I use this stuff by Dermalogica, it's called Treatment Foundation but it's very sheer and I just throw it on with my fingers. It has a nice glow to it. I also use this stuff by Benefit called Posietint which is a lip stain and a cheek stain. So I try not to pile too much on.

SB: With Valentine's day coming up, what would you be your one bit of love advice for our readers?
VJ: I would say never depend on someone else do provide you with happiness, because at the end of the day, happiness comes from within.

Designer Interview: Pamella Roland Talks Russia and Angelina Jolie

After watching a gorgeous collection of luxe leathers, gold brocades, rich furs, and shining taffetas, we got the chance to talk with designer Pamella Roland about her modern day Anna Karenina creations.

StyleBistro: What made you choose Russia for your inspiration?
Pamella Roland: Actually we were looking at Modern Art, but I went to Saint Petersburg with my husband and called the design team and said "I change my inspiration!"

SB: Celebrities love your clothes! Who do you envision wearing this collection?
PR: Oh gosh, so many people that I've dressed already. I can see Kate Winslet—I always say her name, I hope she hears me some day because I want to dress her. And Angelina Jolie I've dressed, she would look amazing in these. Some of these dresses you really need the height, but we dramatize everything in the show, too.

SB: Is there anyone we will see wear your designs for the Oscars?
PR: There are a few, but we can't say! There were also a few with stylists here spying.
