Angelina Jolie is arguably one of the most beautiful people on planet Earth, and the Hollywood icon only seems to get lovelier with age. The mother of six turns 36 on June 4 so we've decided to celebrate her evolving style with a slideshow of some of her most memorable red carpet looks.

From billowy lace to leather pants to Versace gowns, the actress and humanitarian has been fearless when it comes to fashion. Scroll through Angie's style from 1986 to 2011 and see her sartorial selections progress over the last 25 years. Let us know your favorite looks in the comments below!

Practical footwear is something we're really into around here (we hate being the girl who can't walk five blocks because her feet hurt), so when we noticed a trend in sporty and comfy high heels, our ears, and our feet, perked up.

Teva and Grey Ant collaborated in December on a high-heel, high "fashion" Hurricane sandal, and we were not just a little shocked. While we're not sure who they're marketing this to (fashion-forward hipsters who rock climb on the weekends?) we were intrigued by the combination of the practical and the impractical.

Turns out Grey Ant and Teva aren't the only ones in the designer, high-heeled sport sandal market -- Jil Sander has ignored the Teva and has instead interpreted a five inch platform Birkenstock.


Let's compare and contrast, shall we?

The Grey Ant x Teva heels are interesting ... to say the least. At $330 a pair, they're kind of expensive for a funny novelty. We will, however, allow that they look extraordinarily comfortable for a four inch heel. Kinda kitschy, kinda hilarious, kinda genius ... we're not sure where we land with these.

On the other hand, the Jil Sander pair is easily recognizable as chic and simple -- even MS Sander, the former German designer of the label would be impressed with these clean lines. The buckles and the cork say practical and comfortable, the color and the style say fun and fashionable. For $550, we can see these having a little more staying power than, say, a pair of stiletto Tevas.

Either way, we guess we're pleased that there are some seriously reasonable, and utilitarian, open-toed heels to choose from this summer. Now if only we had a fashion-forward camping trip in the works ...

Tell us which pair you like better -- Jil Sander's high-heeled Birkenstock look, or Gray Ant x Teva's stiletto sandal?

In a lot of ways Tara Haughton is just your average 16-year-old. She's saving for a car, hangs out with her girlfriends on the weekends and is totally looking forward to the freedom of college. But Christian Louboutin might argue that she's anything but a typical teen.

As the President and CEO of Rosso Solini, Haughton designs and sells colored stickers that attach to the bottom of high heels. While Louboutin said she's got "great entrepreneurial skills" at an Irish press conference a few weeks back, he also joked that they might run into problems in the future. At $25 for a pair of three, Rosso Solinis' red soles are one twentieth the price of Louboutin's famed shoes ... which is exactly Haughton's point. Her idea was to bring the designer-sole look to women of all walks of life. And she's succeeding.

We talked to Tara last week about her accomplishments, why she'd rather meet Jimmy Choo rather than Christian Louboutin (because Choo wouldn't be mad at her, of course) and how she just gave her dad his first day off since November. Needless to say, we learned a thing or two about how to run a business from this savvy teen. Step one -- you need a great idea. Tara's came less than a year ago.

"Last summer we were away at a family wedding in Spain and for a group photo, we had to throw red confetti. And where I had taken the price sticker off my shoe was still sticky and when I threw it up, it got stuck to the bottom of my shoe. And later that night a woman asked me if was I wearing Louboutin's because she had seen the flash of red as I was walking."

And that's when you knew you were gonna be rich?

"That's when I caught that it was stuck to the bottom of my shoes. And kinda from there realized that you could do something with something red to give a designer look at a low cost. It was really simple, and it works!"


Luckily Haughton had time on her hands to take her idea to the next level. Her stroke of genius hit during a gap year at her high school, a time when students are encouraged to make their own companies and learn about business. So Haughton gathered up some friends, fired up the Google translate (she typed in "red soles" to get the Italian, Rosso Solini), and with help and guidance from her father and teachers, took her idea to Irish manufacturers.

"3M is the company we use. We went to them and they showed us different stickers that would work to stay on the bottom of a shoe and from there we took a few samples and when we seen how well they stuck and stuff, we just decided to go with it straight away."

Tara's dad, Chris Haughton, works for Tara full time, but like any good employee, gives the boss 100 percent of the credit.

"Tara is incredibly involved in every aspect. She monitors everything. She can be good to work for sometimes. She's a hard boss, she doesn't give you Saturday or Sunday off. It's a seven day week!"

Can't you ground her if she does that to you?

"Actually, to be perfectly honest, she's giving me the day off tomorrow. It's the first one I've had since November," Chris laughs, "so I'm eternally grateful to her."

With orders from all over the world, it's no surprise Tara's working her friends and family to the bone. Orders just keep on coming.


Chris explains that they can never guess where their next P.O. is coming from.

"For some reason, certain parts of the States have embraced us wholly. We're selling obscure soles like yellows and pinks, must be to go with all the Hawaiian shirts they have out there. And Florida just seemed to embrace polka dots for some reason."

"We had done a run of the Union Jack into the U.K. just before the royal wedding, and for the Olympics, we have two major retailers looking at taking the Union Jack (soles) because they believe that it would be a huge product in the U.K."

So Tara, does all this talk about shipments, deliveries, product placements, and of course their resultant spreadsheets ... does it stress you out?

"It can get stressful, yeah, like anything. But it's grand!"

Thankfully, her stress is alleviated by helping hands at home. With five brothers, all she has to do is holler and someone pitches in. Dad Chris jokes that her youngest brothers, at four and six years old, are an integral part of the sweat shop.

"They have little fingers. It's amazing what they'll do for a Mars Bar or a Snicker's."

The design duo behind Marchesa, Keren Craig and Georgina Chapman know how to make a woman look modern and sexy. Stars like Kim Kardashian, Heidi Klum, Rachel McAdams and Blake Lively are all big fans of the label, not to mention Rachel Zoe, who just "dies" for the brand.

Given their talent for dressing gorgeous women, it's no surprise that Playboy asked the ladies to create a one-of-a-kind bunny outfit. The result? A jet-black lace embellished corset with beaded details and a short, feminine peplum.

Craig and Chapman wanted to leave their own mark on the outfit though, and decided to make the normally white collar, cuffs and tail, black.

"We thought it was nice to keep it all black," Chapman told The Telegraph. "We kind of wanted to keep the Marchesa aesthetic but stay true to Playboy, so you've got the lace and the corsetry ... it was a lot of fun."

Craig added, "I think it's such an iconic outfit that it was just really fun to do something with that in mind; we didn't really want to change the design all that much."

If you love the Marchesa Playboy bunny outfit as much as we do, you'll have to fight us for it when it goes up for auction in October. All proceeds will go to Breast Cancer Awareness.

What do you think of the bunny's new look?

Dolly Parton gave an interview to Q Magazine and explained that she's not really into wearing clothes more than once.

She explained, "I never do an interview in or wear the same outfit twice. So after I've worn this blouse, it will be wrapped up and locked in my closet, never to be seen again."

We can only imagine how big her closet, and her savings account, must be. We know she's famous for saying "it costs a lot of money to look this cheap" but ... goodness. If she's living by the one-and-done method, she must spend a small fortune on clothes.

Ms. Parton goes on to admit that she's made some questionable fashion choices over the years.

"At the time you think you look great, you think you're beautiful and the dress is perfect but 20 years on, it's 'What was I thinking?' And that goes for my hair, too."

We're dying to know which outfits Dolly's talking about. For the 65-year-old rhinestone-loving diva to consider them embarrassing, we know they've got to be over-the-top outlandish and audacious.

And Dolly, if you ever need anyone to take some of those outfits off your hands, you know how to reach us. Why store them when there are style bloggers like us willing to rock your old frocks? We love anything with glitter and/or shoulder pads. Trust.

If you could, would you only wear each outfit once?
