The fashion world seems to be of two minds about the flowing white dress Charlize wore to the Hancock premiere in Hollywood. Some think it's the least flattering bedsheet ever, while others think it's ethereal and lovely. We tend to be of the latter opinion.

The statuesque blond has rocked every look from dark, bondage-inspired pieces to haute couture gowns while promoting her latest flick, but we think this look in particular could be perfect for the right bride. Check out the gallery to see how to make it work for you!

Yes, we are aware that we just oohed and aahed about Lucy Liu last week, but she changed up her look for the Hollywood premiere of Kung Fu Panda, and we're still transfixed by her -- she looks absolutely amazing in this short, ruffly number.

In fact, we think this look could work well for spunky bride, bridesmaids, or a guest -- check out the gallery to see how!

Despite reports that Nicole Richie and Joel Madden have plans in place for a wedding extravaganza at the end of this month, the National Enquirer is claiming that Joel won't marry Nicole until she converts to Christianity.

She has a colorful past, filled with drug use and "Hollywood" behavior. Joel grew up attending church and wants Nicole to find God and ask forgiveness for her past sins so that they can raise baby Harlow in a Christian family. And, according to the article, Nicole seems quite ready to appease him.

We're not sure if we buy it -- largely because it's coming from the National Enquirer, but also because forcing someone to convert is pretty major, especially when that person has given birth to your child. If she doesn't find God, then what? Will he leave her? We think it's more likely that, if anything, he's encouraging her to find faith, but we certainly hope he's not forcing her into it. That can't lead to anything but trouble.

Even though she recently stated that she was in no hurry to get married, Jennifer Love Hewitt appears to be planning a wedding for this summer. But, she has a good reason to be in a hurry now -- her fiance, Ross McCall, might find himself deported if they wait.

McCall is a UK citizen, and is currently in the States on a work visa. However, there is an actors' strike looming, and if he is unmarried at the time the strike goes into effect, his visa will no longer be valid. He'll still have to go through a lot of paperwork to become a permanent U.S. citizen, but he'll avoid deportation, which would require him to apply for a new visa when he planned to come back to the U.S.

Sources say the wedding will be "small but elegant," which is just what we'd expect from The Ghost Whisperer starlet.

Over a month ago, Jason Biggs (the actor who did the unthinkable to an apple baked good in American Pie) married his girlfriend, Jenny Mollen, in a super-secret ceremony. Super-secret, meaning that not even the couple's families were invited to the City Hall nuptials.

The couple is reportedly planning on holding a second vow-swap later this year, this time in Napa Valley, surrounded by friends and family. Biggs' American Pie co-star, Alyson Hannigan says she's hoping to make it to the event. She seems happy to be invited, seeing as how she found out about his newlywed status via text message.

Jason and Jenny are expecting their first child this summer.

Justin Timberlake is doing something with his current lady, Jessica Biel, that he's never done with any other girlfriend -- he's having her move in with him.

The notoriously private pair is shacking up in Justin's six-bedroom pad in Hollywood Hills. However, Jessica isn't putting all her eggs in one basket, so to speak -- she's not selling her Brentwood home, opting instead to give it to her parents and brother.

There's been quite a bit of speculation lately about just how serious this paparazzi-averse duo is getting, with some claiming that he's scouting out private islands on which they could hold a wedding ceremony. We could definitely see them pulling an elaborately sneaky engagement and wedding, but for our own selfish purposes, we hope they opt to share a couple of pictures!

Dylan McDermott and his wife of 11 years, Shiva Rose, are divorcing, citing irreconcilable differences as the reason behind the split. They separated last September, and now that they are going through with the divorce, Dylan has decided to represent himself in court.

What makes him qualified? Well, he did play a lawyer for seven years on The Practice, and he does kind of look like one, but we think that's about it. We're hoping it's just that the divorce is a very straightforward matter and the couple is remaining civil, seeing as how he plans to file for joint custody of the couple's two children, 12-year-old Collette Blu and two-year-old Charlotte.

While it has been widely rumored that Harrison Ford popped the question to his girlfriend, Calista Flockhart, on April Fool's Day (either 2007 or 2008, depending on the source), the couple's rep is denying the engagement.

The Indiana Jones star, 65, first met the erstwhile Ally McBeal in 2002 and have been dating happily ever since. However, Harrison has two divorces under his belt, one of which cost him $100 million, so it's understandable that he might be a little hesitant to take a third trip down the aisle.

We're going to go ahead and hope that he's just putting the proposal on hold so he can film one more Indiana Jones movie before getting hitched. Wishful thinking, perhaps, but we're hoping all the same.

Stop the presses! Ashlee Simpson-Wentz is pregnant! Oh, wait, you already knew that? So did we. Sort of.

Since their short engagement and e-vite only wedding, rumors have been running rampant about whether Ashlee was indeed expecting. She certainly hasn't looked pregnant, but then again, everyone shows differently. The fact that the couple refused to hold a press conference to deny the rumors, paired with Ashlee's cryptic answers when asked if she was with child, all added up to near certainty that there would soon be a tiny, sweet, flat iron and eyeliner addicted addition to the Simpson-Wentz household.

At any rate, the couple has confirmed on Pete's blog that they are expecting their first child, but had wanted to wait until they were out of the first trimester to spread the joyous news. Now that they've cleared up that rumor, what will we have to talk about?

Reports are circulating that proud new parents Halle Berry and Gabriel Aubry are engaged. As a matter of fact, the rumors actually state that he proposed to her with his grandmother's engagement ring to show her how much she means to him and his family.

There's only one problem with the story -- she may be wearing a sparkler, but she's vowed never to marry again. Actually, she has said that she feels more married to Gabriel than she has felt to either of her two ex-husbands and doesn't see any reason to make the relationship official.

We think it's more likely that he gave her the ring as a symbol of commitment, but not necessarily as an engagement ring. They wouldn't be the only celebrity couple to abstain from becoming legally wed. Perhaps they, like Brad and Angelina, consider their child the most important bond they can share.

Rumor has it that Kate Hudson and her Butterscotch Stallion are getting ready to settle down. Supposedly, Owen Wilson picked out the biggest ring he could find for his lady, who has been instrumental in helping him get back into a good place after some dark days this past year.

Both stars' reps claim the rumors are untrue, and that Kate is only sporting the giant rock because she's shooting a new film, Bridal Wars. However, as StyleDash points out, this would be a great opportunity for the towheaded twosome to have a secret engagement with a perfect excuse ...

Either way, we really think they're cute together, and they look happy together, so even if they're not engaged (and we kinda suspect they aren't -- one step at a time, folks), we hope they are enjoying a wonderful courtship.

Liv Tyler fueled speculation of a split this weekend when she arrived at the MET Costume Gala alone and was photographed without her wedding ring. She had been seen house-hunting a few weeks ago, which started rumors that she was moving out.

The rumors have now been confirmed -- Liv, 30, and her rocker hubby, 36-year-old Royston Langdon, have called it quits. According to her rep, the couple remain friends and devoted parents to their three-year-old son, Milo. They were married in 2003, in the Caribbean.

No official reason has been given for the split, but there are rumors that Liv told her friends that she and Royston married too young.

We love it when funny girls get fashionable, so we were delighted to see Ashley Jensen, who plays the witty Christina McKinney on Ugly Betty, look so completely fabulous at the BAFTA Awards. She really stood out on the red carpet, and we think this dress could be a fantastic look for a bridesmaid, mom, or guest. Here's why:

• Flaunting a flattering hue -- This shade of blue is stunning on Ashley. Look at how her eyes pop, and how the bright color contrasts against her skin and hair. It's truly a perfect choice for her.
  
  
• Cute cut -- The wide but modest v-neckline is really flattering to her shape, and we love the fact that the rest of her dress fits snugly, but not so tightly that she can't move. She looks elegant and classy, but still like she might be someone you'd want to split a bottle of champagne with.
  
  
• Adorable additions -- Her earrings are just to DIE for, but that's not all we love. She had some fun with her purse, selecting a clutch in a slightly different hue than her dress. The shoes are a great choice -- the metallic shade goes with just about anything, and by opting for the open style in bronze, she elongates her leg.

Want to get this look going for your bridesmaids, mom, or yourself? No problem!

Fashion follows Hollywood. When Lindsay Lohan started trotting around Tinseltown in leggings, suddenly everyone started copying this style, much to the dismay of everyone's favorite fashion critics, and retailers across America struggled to keep an adequate spandex stock. Thankfully, it's not just the ridiculous trends that catch on -- when Ben Affleck gave Jennifer Lopez a 6-ct pink diamond engagement ring, there was a rush on pink diamonds (until the rest of the world realized that they were not movie stars and couldn't actually afford them). So then there was a rush on pink cubic zirconia.

The Bennifer engagement ring really sparked a big trend in Hollywood, and the rest of the world followed. Starlets no longer settled for traditional ring styles like round solitaires in Tiffany settings. Those rings are classic and glamorous indeed, but not unique enough to make a splash on the red carpet. Now we're seeing celebs with every color diamond in the spectrum, like JLo's pink rock, Heidi Klum's huge canary diamond, and Carmen Electra's black diamond ring, to name a few. In addition to the colored diamond trend, solitaires have gone the way of the dinosaur as celebs opt instead for much busier rings with lots of accent stones, and maybe even a non-diamond center stone, like the pink sapphire Nicole Richie received from ex-fiance DJ AM.
