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!)

With House of Style making its triumphant MTV return (catch it tomorrow afternoon, at 3pm!), we started thinking about all our favorite famous-faced designers who've helped take fashion into the mainstream. So who's got the talent to take the runway by storm -- and who shouldn't quit her day job? Take our poll and let us know how these six celeb-turned-stylistas stack up!

• 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)

• You know how Misty May-Treanor had to leave Dancing with the Stars after destroying her ankle? Well, good news! Already-eliminated DWTS contestant Kim Kardashian has graciously offered to take her place on the show! Awww, that should TOTALLY help ease the pain of May's potentially career-ending injury. (Scandalist)

• Hmm, guess Khloe Kardashian's sis wasn't all that "relieved" to be done with Dancing after all... (TV Watch)

• On tonight's Grey's Anatomy, McDreamy and Meredith's cohabitation talk leads to a disaster of biblical proportions. Sigh. If only there were some sort of sign... (E! Online)

• Okay, fine, Victoria Beckham isn't exactly a reality tv star (unless you count that thankfully short-lived NBC miniseries.) But we'd be remiss if we didn't tell you that her can't-live-without beauty secret is....a skin cream "derived from nightingale poo." (Daily Mail - UK)

• OMG, Holly Madison and Hugh Hefner are officially no longer sleeping together! Well, assuming they ever really were. (Usmagazine.com)

• Get ready for the premiere of Bravo's The Real Housewives of Atlanta tonight. Here's to hoping one of the leading ladies is a pretentious underwear-model-turned-Duchess! (LA Times)

• 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)
