When I think All-American actress, Cameron Diaz instantly comes to mind. With her blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes, all she needs is a swipe of red lipstick to look patriotic. But Cam takes it one step further, whether she’s coordinating with the red carpet in Michael Kors polka dots and stripes or Oscar de la Renta florals and lace, modeling head-to-toe denim on the cover of Marie Claire or keeping it simple in jeans and a white button-down or tank. Whatever your plans are for this July 4th holiday weekend, you can take some style inspiration from this red, white and blue beauty.

This past weekend was full of stars in stripes—but there was not equality for all. I adored the DSQUARED2 Barber Shop open toe pumps Cameron Diaz wore to Nickelodeon’s 2009 Kids’ Choice Awards. I originally thought the heel had black and white stripes until I discovered they were actually inspired by a retro red and white barber pole, even cuter! Matchy-matchy is in for spring, and the red complimented Cam’s polka dot Michael Kors top and patent LAI clutch.
Then there was Fergie, who celebrated her 34th birthday at Liv Nightclub in the Fontainbleu hotel during Rock Fashion Week. It looks like she got a professional manicure with black nail polish. Then up in her room, decided to add silver stripes last to match her metallic mini. Even for Miami, it’s trash city. Lesson learned? Think before you paint!
