01
#10: Jennifer Hudson

Where: The stage at Petrillo Music Shell in Chicago.
 
Why: Hudson goes for a funkier stage look than usual, and we’re into it. The leather peplum top, leopard print shorts and combat boots gives her a bit of an edge. Get the look!

#9: Rachel Roy

Where: The after party for the Cinema Society Screening of Trishna at The James Hotel in New York City.
 
Why: The designer sports a chic capelet — a silhouette generally worn in the fall, but the fresh color-block update makes it perfect for cooler summer nights. Get the look!

#8: Erykah Badu

Where: The stage of the Nice Jazz Festival in Nice, France.
 
Why: Erykah Badu is an original, and we love her for it. This trench capelet transforms the classic khaki coat into a more dramatic head-turning piece that would make anyone welcome rainy days. Get the look!

#7: Salli Richardson-Whitfield

Where: An Evening With Syfy’s ‘Eureka’ at The Paley Center for Media in Beverly Hills, California.
 
Why: The simpler the better sometimes, and this nude mini dress and matching pumps lets her gorgeous glowing body take all of the shine. Get the look!

#6: Veronica Webb

Where: The Cinema Society hosts a screening of Trishna in New York.

#5: Queen Latifah

Where: The Today Show studios in New York City.

#2: Michelle Obama

Where: At Barbara Goleman Senior High School during a campaign event in Miami Lakes, Florida.
 
Why: Mrs. O wears color well, and this simple knee-length dress is transformed in this vibrant pattern and perfectly matching pumps. The touch of orange in the belt ties the look together. Get the look!

#1: Jill Scott

Where: The summer concert series at Somerset House in London.
 
Why: Sassy Scott flaunts her curvaceous figure in a black puff sleeved mini with a neon pink lazered design while performing in London. The singer looks hot! Get the look!
