Joe Zee's puttin' Olivia Palermo's reporting skills to the test on next week's City, but how good is Elle's Creative Director at getting his own answers? Since we've only witnessed one of his interviews on the show (you know, the time he introduced 'Liv to Erin Kaplan?), we dug up this Elle.com clip of the Zee-man showing off his special -- and somewhat giggly -- brand of interrogation. Watch the lovable style star crash an open casting call for Carrie/Samantha wannabes while channeling his inner David Beckham. Hey, who says fashionistas can't play ball?!

+ Bonus: Wanna see how the City girls' A to Zee guide finally turned out? Read it here, plus take another look at our (mock-serious) Olivia-inspired follow-up!

We'll be honest: we're not what you could call high-fashion experts. We didn't know what Manolo Blahniks were before Sex and the City, we (still) go out in public in Juicy Couture sweatpants and we think "black tie optional" are the three scariest words in the English language (right behind John & Kate).

But just cause we don't shop designer (at least, not til Paris Hilton hands over her credit cards), doesn't mean we don't know good style when we see it. And with all the red carpet do's and don'ts out there, we thought we'd give a shoutout to three celebs who (almost) always get it right. Take a look at three high-profile gals who aced Style 101, then check out MTV's new show, Styl'D (this Sunday, at 10pm!) to see more famous fashonistas and meet the stylists behind the stars.

Nominee No. 1: Leighton Meester. Stylish but edgy, this fashion-forward Gossip Girl star knows when to go classic glam -- and when to push the envelope/lower her hemline. (Hmm, wonder what Upper East Sider Blair Waldorf would say about that silver micro-mini!?)

Nominee No. 2: Nobody wears leather, lace or floor-length couture like Victoria Beckham. The former Spice Girl has gone from pop star to pop culture icon, and she's look fab every step of the way. No wonder she caught David Beckham's eye (and, more importantly, his hand).

Nominee No. 3: You probably know Rachel Bilson from The O.C., but the real-life Rach is just as adorbs (and not nearly as high-maintenance) as the chic, geek-lovin' Summer Roberts. Bonus: Bilson's also waaay too smart to go through that greasy, I-stopped-showering-after-college phase. Viva la haircare!)

+ Who's got the best all-around style? Take the poll and tell us which of these fab three is always dressed to impress!

+ Wanna get schooled in style? Watch the Styl'D trailer, plus meet the junior assistants and senior stylists at the world-renowned Margaret Maldonado Agency. (You may not know them, but TRUST us -- you've already seen their work!)

+ Teeny-tiny Grey's Anatomy star Chyler Leigh has announced that she's pregnant with her third child. We're torn between saying "Congratulations!" and sending her a card that says "Wait, you've had two kids?! You're giving us a MAJOR weight complex, lady." (Usmagazine.com)

+ Ed Westwick/Chuck Bass admits he was too starstruck to introduce himself to soccer star David Beckham at a recent partay. In related news, we once saw Ed Westwick/Chuck Bass on the street, then awkwardly/conspicuously turned and hid behind the nearest telephone pole. True story. (Radar)

+ Former Top Model winner Eva Pigford (now, apparently, Eva Marcille) is reportedly engaged to her boyfriend/House of Payne costar Lance Gross. Yeah, something tells us she'll be holding onto her (new) maiden name for a while. (Essence via Us)

+ Kendra Wilkinson says she and her linebacker fiance will be getting hitched at the Playboy mansion, a.k.a. her old stomping grounds, but she hasn't decided whether her grandpa-aged ex, Hugh Hefner, will be walking her down the aisle. Because, you know, THAT would be the weird part. (Reality TV World)

• A Glamour staffer credits Lauren Conrad with not giving off any "stuck-up vibes" during a recent interview. Um, congrats? (Actress Archives)

• Meanwhile, future gospel singer Heidi Montag hits the stores for some retail therapy. Thankfully, Spencer was on hand to curb her spending carry her bags. (Gossip Girl)

• Bizarro Fact #1: Somebody's actually written a musical about Posh & Becks (a.k.a. Victoria and David Beckham). Bizzaro Fact #2: Said musical is reportedly called MacBecks. Seriously. (OK!)

• And finally, Gossip Girl's Blake Lively wants you to know that in real life, she's not like Serena Van Der Woodsen. Or any other blonde socialitey types. "I once heard someone say that I'm similar to Paris Hilton—since I have a dog and blond hair, that must mean we're alike," says Lively. "It's a dumb thing to say. I don't think that makes Paris and me similar...I don't go to clubs, I don't party, I don't dance on tables, and I don't like sex tapes." (Seventeen via E! Online)
