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!)

• A-List actor George Clooney has generously agreed to appear on the crappy NBC sitcom that helped kickstart his career. (Entertainment Tonight)

• Actor Chace Crawford had some trouble remembering his lines for a recent PSA shoot. Fortunately, his Gossip Girl alter ego is more about spacey stares and sex with cougars than public speaking. (Usmagazine.com)

• And speaking of line-flubbers, Chief Justice of the United States Supreme Court John Roberts privately swore in President Obama one more time yesterday. This time, we're told, he got all 35 words of the oath of office correct. (LA Times)

• Mad Men hottie Elisabeth Moss gives renewed hope to semi-attractive funnymen everywhere by agreeing to marry awkward/hilarious SNL castie Fred Armisen. (E! Online)

• Have you heard? Actress Mischa Barton has learned to play the sitar for her new movie in a misguided attempt to make us all forget that she's Marissa Cooper. Nice try, Coop, but we're not falling for it. And neither is Atwood. (ICYDK)

• And speaking of our fave prematurely-cancelled show, remember Michael Cassidy? We knew -- and loved -- him as hippie/rich kid Zach Stevens in the post-Marissa era O.C., and now he's reportedly leaving crappy CW teen dramedy, Privileged. We're not sure why. Presumably, because it's terrible. (TV Squad)

• Scrubs creator Bill Lawrence says he won't be coming back for another season, and neither will the show's neurotic/effeminate star, Zach Braff. (New York Times, via TS)

• Paris Hilton is said to have spent somewhere between $5,000 and $10,000 buying 31 "beautiful sexy dresses" during a quickie Aussie shopping spree. It's good to be an heiress. (INO)

• Notorious lout Balthazar Getty has managed to get himself bounced from Brothers & Sisters. (Dlisted)

• Entourage star Jeremy Piven shocked fans (and co-stars) by stepping down as the star of his hit Broadway play Speed-the-Plow owing to a "high mercury count" -- a condition he attributed to his above-average sushi intake. Playwright David Mamet's response? "My understanding is that [Jeremy] is leaving show business to pursue a career as a thermometer." Zing! (Usmagazine.com)

• Gossip Girl scoop: That creepy/icky Aaron character is never, ever coming back from Argentina! Dan Humphrey fans, rejoice! (E! Online)

• O.C. cutie Rachel Bilson continues to insist that her love life with hottie Hayden Christensen is uninteresting. We'd argue but we're too busy hating her immensely. (E! Online)

• Meanwhile, Price Is Right contestant Terry Kniess continues to insist that he didn't cheat to win the Showcase Showdown. He just happens to be SO good at valuating strange items that he was able to guess the exact cost of every single one of the prizes ... right down to the very last cent. (TV Squad)

+ Paris has always been known for partying it up royally. But we never realized that meant "shaking her ass in front of Prince William." The heiress was spotted cozying up to England's future king -- and his ginger-haired brother, Harry -- at London hotspot Whisky Mist. (The London Paper)

+ Gossip Girl author Cecily von Ziegesar impresses us by admitting Vanessa sucks but disappoints us by confusing The O.C. with a cheesy Baywatch wannabe. (MTV News)

+ Last night's Project Runway finale delivered the winner -- 27-year-old Leanne Marshall -- without the drama. (TV Squad)

+ Nevertheless, abnormally orange Runway castoff Blayne Walsh mustered up an appropriate level of enthusiasm over Leanne's victory. (Usmagazine.com)

+ And there was more than enough drama to be had in the final presidential debate, where poker-faced Barack Obama fended off jab after jab from his incessantly blinking adversary, John McCain. (Gawker)

• Yes, it's weird that The O.C.'s Mischa Barton just called Victoria Beckham unstylish and questioned her status as a British fashion icon. But it's even weirder that Perez Hilton just called Mischa "0% Body Fat" Barton "Thunderthighs." This is how eating disorders get started, people! (Perez Hilton)

• Brooke Hogan inexplicably turns down a Playboy pictorial. Because, apparently, she has (newly acquired) standards. (Usmagazine.com)

• The Pillsbury Doughboy formerly known as Brandon Walsh is officially returning to 90210! Well, sort-of... (E! Online)

• SNL apologizes for implying that they sanction the practice of shooting annoying people in the face. Clearly they're opposed! Otherwise, no WAY would Chris Kattan still be here. (TV Squad)

• Rocco DiSpirito and Karina Smirnoff get a stay of execution on Dancing with the Stars. Take that, Kim Kardashian! (TV Watch)

• Meanwhile, in this highly informative article, the real-life Nate Archibald admits his fans are more like seventh grade stalkers than Dutchesses and cougars. Plus, he totally cops to having "gayface!" (Usmagazine.com)

• Perez Hilton spends way too much time thinking about Lauren Conrad and Audrina Patridge's use of emoticons. (Perez Hilton)

+ Gossip Girl continues to embody the right combination of meanspiritedness and gratuitous sex scenes. (Entertainment Weekly)

+ Meanwhile, The O.C. and Buffy the Vampire Slayer invade TheWB.com. OMFG! (PopWatch)

+ This week, Project Runway's designers were tasked with turning car parts into evening wear! Discuss. (People)
