Archaeologists Unearth Stone Monument Detailing 'Dark Period' In Maya History

*Lawrence LeBlond for redOrbit.com - Your Universe Online*

Archaeologists have uncovered a "dark period" in Mayan history while tunneling beneath the main temple of El Peru-Waka', an ancient Maya city in northern Guatemala, according to cultural officials in that country.

The discovery, an elaborately carved monument with hieroglyphic text, details the exploits of a little-known sixth-century princess whose descendants prevailed during a long-lived, often bloody struggle between two powerful royal dynasties of the period.

David Freidel, PhD, a professor of anthropology in Arts & Sciences at Washington University in St. Louis (WUSTL), said "great rulers took pleasure in describing adversity as a prelude to ultimate success." In this case, Lady Ikoom, known as the Snake queen, "prevailed in the end."

*STELA 44*

The stone monument is officially known as El Peru Stela 44 and offers a wealth of information about the period's history, including the names of two previously unknown Maya rulers and the political struggles that shaped their dynasties, explained Freidel.

"The narrative of Stela 44 is full of twists and turns of the kind that are usually found in time of war but rarely detected in Precolumbian archaeology," Freidel said. "The information in the text provides a new chapter in the history of the ancient kingdom of Waka' and its political relations with the most powerful kingdoms in the Classic period lowland Maya world."

Stela 44 is not the only stone monument of its kind unearthed in Maya ruins. Each of the ones before has also told the tale of ancient dynasties and have each played an important role in the understanding of ancient Mayan culture.

According to Stanley Guenter, who deciphered the ancient text, Stela 44 was originally dedicated about 1,450 years ago, in the calendar period ending in AD 564, by the Wak dynasty King Wa'oom Uch'ab Tzi'kin. That title roughly translates as "He Who Stands Up the Offering of the Eagle."

After the monument was exposed to the elements for more than a century, Stela 44 was moved under the orders of a later king and buried as an offering inside new construction that took place at the main temple in El Peru Waka' in AD 700. It is believed that that offering was part of funeral rituals for a great queen entombed in the building at the time.

Freidel has directed research at the temple since 2003 and has worked in collaboration with Guatemalan and foreign archaeologists. Juan Carlos Perez Calderon is the current co-director of the project and Olivia Navarro Farr, an assistant professor at the College of Wooster in Ohio, is co-principal investigator and supervisor of the temple work, known as Structure M13-1. Griselda Perez, a Guatemalan archaeologist is credited with the discovery of Stela 44.

The discovery of Stela 44 was possible due to excavation of a short tunnel along the centerline of the stairway of the main temple in order to give access to other tunnels leading to a royal tomb discovered in 2012.

Once the texts along the side of the monument were cleared, archaeologist Francisco Castaneda took photographs of the monument and sent them to Guenter.

*THE SNAKE QUEEN*

The analysis of the glyphs suggests Stela 44 was commissioned by King Wa'oom Uch'ab Tzi'kin in honor of his father, King Chak Took Ich'aak (translated as Red Spark Claw), who had died in AD 556. This is the first time these names have been spoken in modern history, making them new to the science, according to the researchers.

The Snake queen, Lady Ikoom, who is also featured in the text, was an important figure, as her name was used by a later king who recovered the stela.

Researchers assume that Lady Ikoom was one of two Snake dynasty princesses sent into arranged marriages with the rulers of El Peru Waka' and another nearby Maya city as a means of maintaining control over the region.

Lady Ikoom was a predecessor of one of the greatest queens of the Classic Maya civilization, the seventh-century Maya Holy Snake Lord, Lady Kaloomte K'abel, who ruled El Peru Waka for more than 20 years with her husband King K'inich Bahlam II. Carrying the title "Kaloomte," meaning "Supreme Warrior," Lady Ikoom held a higher rank than her husband and was the military governor for the Wak kingdom.

King K'inich Bahlam II brought Stela 44 to the main city in AD 700 to be buried as an offering, most likely as part of a funeral ritual for queen Kaloomte K'abel.

The discovery of Stela 44 follows another prominent discovery made last year, when Stela 43 was uncovered, which had been built into the walls of the city temple. This stela was dedicated by King K'inich Bahlam II in AD 702. Lady Ikoom graces the front of the monument celebrating an event in AD 574. She was likely an ancestor of the king.

Lady Kaloomte K'abel's tomb was discovered at the temple in 2012 by Freidel and his colleagues. Stela 44 was located near the tomb of K'abel. It had been placed under the plaster floor of the plaza in front of the old temple and then buried under the treads of the stairway of the new temple.

*A TALE OF TWO KINGS*

Stela 44 is quite eroded from the century of exposure before being buried. But archaeologists were able to observe a king standing face forward cradling a sacred bundle in his arms. There exist two other stelae at this site with such a pose, Stela 23 (from AD 524) and Stela 22 (from AD 554). These stelae were likely raised by King Chak Took Ich'aak. The naming is derived from two powerful kings of Tikal and it is likely that this king of Waka was named after them, suggest the researchers.

The text describes the accession of the son of Chak Took Ich'aak, Wa'oom Uch'ab Tzi'kin, in AD 556 as witnessed by Lady Ikoom, who was most likely his mother. Her titles, Sak Wayis (White Spirit) and K'uhul Chatan Winik (Holy Chatan Person,) are strongly associated with the powerful Snake or Kan kings who ruled territories to the north of El Peru Waka', making it very likely that Lady Ikoom was a Snake princess, argues Guenter.

"We infer that sometime in the course of his reign King Chak Took Ich'aak changed sides and became a Snake dynasty vassal," Freidel said. "But then, when he died and his son and heir came to power, he did so under the auspices of a foreign king who, Guenter argues from details, is the reigning king of Tikal. So Tikal had reasserted command of Waka' and somehow Queen Ikoom survived this imposition."

"Then, in a dramatic shift in the tides of war, that same Tikal King, Wak Chan K'awiil, was defeated and sacrificed by the Snake king in AD 562. Finally, two years after that major reversal, the new king and his mother raised Stela 44, giving the whole story as outlined above," explained Freidel.

The tales of political intrigue and bloodshed found in Stela 44 are just a few of the many dramatic stories of Classic Maya history that have been deciphered. Freidel plans to continue studying Stela 44 in hopes of uncovering more clues about ancient Mayan history. While the text is only partially preserved, it clearly reveals an important piece of the El Peru Waka' history, Freidel concluded. Reported by redOrbit 3 hours ago.

The BEAT100 community congratulates the first ever BEAT100 World Music Chart winners from the July 8th chart compilation on BEAT100! The official winners include Greek singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Olivia Hadjiioannou (OH.)

(PRWEB) July 18, 2013

The BEAT100 community congratulates the first ever BEAT100 World Music Chart winners from the July 8th chart compilation on BEAT100! The official winners include Greek-American singer, songwriter, multi-instrumentalist and producer Olivia Hadjiioannou (OH.), UK-based singer and songwriter Niki Tyler, and Dan & Kathy, an Acoustic duo located in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. These musicians received the most votes from BEAT100 members for their outstanding musical abilities and, in return, have received international recognition, cash prizes, and a global press release from BEAT100.

Living in Athens, Greece, but also spending much time in New York City, Olivia says she was destined to pursue rock music from an early age. “[One day] I received a gift from a family member: a multi-track digital recorder,” she says, “I taught myself about sound engineering and recording and made a home studio. I haven’t stopped recording since that day.” OH. has since made a name for herself as a multi-instrumentalist, a composer, singer-songwriter, and sound engineer, singing, playing, recording, and writing all of the music throughout her EP, ‘Sleeping World’. The symphonic progressive rock artist certainly impressed BEAT100 members this past month with her track ‘Trials’ from her EP, receiving over 20,000 views and over 4,000 votes on the social network.

Following her EP release in February 2013, OH. received much recognition for her work internationally, receiving airplay on radio stations around the world, features on a number of progressive rock music communities, and recognition by music critics and label managers alike, including Nick Katona of Melodic Revolution Records who featured OH.’s music on his DJ Revolution radio show. In addition, OH. is also now collaborating with a number of established artists and will be featured on the upcoming OCEANS5 album, ‘Return to Mingulay’.

Fans can visit OH.’s website at to learn more about her most recent EP release, preview her tracks, and review her personal blog. BEAT100 members can follow OH. on the music video social network to watch her video for ‘Trials’ and stay up-to-date on future releases.

In second place on the BEAT100 World Music Video Chart, Niki Tyler achieved her second BEAT100 win following an April 15th placement on the BEAT100 Original Music Video Chart. Receiving over 18,000 views and 4,000 plus votes on her original song ‘Where Nobody Knows’, Niki shared the emotional song with BEAT100 to receive a strong following on the social network this past month.

Originally from London, Niki says her mother taught piano lessons at home growing up, influencing her from a young age to pursue music. After some time collaborating with bands, Niki found her best route was pursuing a solo career in singing and songwriting and began writing new original material for release. She soon began recording her debut album, ‘All This Time’, a project that took approximately a year to complete, and devoted the piece to her late father. Since the album release, Niki has been busy performing live shows, promoting her work, releasing music videos, and developing a fan base on BEAT100 and beyond.

Inspired by her favorite artists Adele and James Morrison, Niki says her music is mostly written about life experiences. “I tend to write from experience,” she says, “both mine and that of others. It keeps the music real and something many can relate.” Her debut album does just that, as Niki focuses on emotions of her father, while also singing about her passion for music, a passion she says was lost and then found. “I’d given up on my music a few years ago simply because it wasn’t working out,” says Niki, “Three years ago a series of fateful events occurred that pushed me back into music. Naturally I went with it… I won’t let it go again.”

BEAT100 members can follow Niki on the music video social network to watch her many music video and listen to her debut album, ‘All This Time.’ Fans can also visit Niki’s website to learn more about her tour dates and future information regarding her second album.

In third place on the BEAT100 World Music Chart this month, Acoustic duo Dan & Kathy present their soulful original song ‘Out for The Day’ filled with beautiful vocal harmonies accompanied by acoustic guitar. The duo met in college while attending Millersville University near Philadelphia, PA. Kathy began performing vocals in Dan’s band and the two started writing songs together in 1993 as a duo, including one of their first tracks, ‘Out for The Day’. After years apart while Dan lived on the West Coast, the duo now performs, records, and maintains an active status as a band in Philadelphia.

After spending the past 15 years teaching music, Dan says he hopes to never retire as he continues to devote much time to the Dan & Kathy duo, as well as his second band, ‘Glim Dropper’. “Much like BB King, I want to play and perform until I cannot hold an instrument any longer,” he says, “That will be the sweetest reward of all!” The duo says their biggest and happiest accomplishment is being able to continue producing original music while making a living from it.

BEAT100 members can follow the Dan & Kathy Duo on the music video social network to view their video for ‘Out for The Day’ while staying up-to-date on future performance dates and releases.

Musicians can join the BEAT100 network for free to upload their original and cover music videos for a chance to win international recognition on the BEAT100 World Music Video Chart and join the ranks of OH., Niki Tyler, and the Dan & Kathy Duo. Reported by PRWeb 9 hours ago.

Where are the TV roles for black British female actors?

The US television series Scandal has given us a black woman – Kerry Washington – in a lead role. Roll on the parts for black British female actors

Even the trailer for Scandal made me feel euphoric – after all, this show has the first black female protagonist in a network drama in nearly 40 years. Even better, in the show itself race does not assume a character of its own – it is not the epicentre, it is merely incidental and I, and many others (at least, my twitter feed) are thankful for this.

Scandal, which recently started its second series on More4, stars Kerry Washington as the powerhouse that is Olivia Pope, a middle-class, Republican (don't hold it against her), elite crisis manager in Washington DC. She fixes problems: not run-of-the-mill ones, but problems on a colossal scale. The show has been praised for having a racially diverse cast but being "post-racial". The characters are defined by the essence of who they are, not by the pigmentation of their skin. Pope is a host of contradictions: unapologetically bold but not above reproach; formidable but not immune from the pang of vulnerability. Pope is a fully realised person, which, in regards to roles given to black actors, is a rarity.

There is Luther, of course, starring Idris Elba as the eponymous detective chief inspector. Elba plays quite possibly the most complex role in British television of any actor at the moment, let alone black British actors. While his success should be celebrated, there is still much progress to be made, especially when it comes to black British female actors.

We do not have black British female protagonists on our televisions, let alone ones who display the layers and depth of Olivia Pope. The last time one graced our screens was circa 199never, and this needs to be both challenged and resolved. Not only is there a need for roles for black British female actors, these roles need to be cultivated within a post-racial context.

Luther may provide the genesis of this change. Like Scandal, the critically acclaimed thriller could also be described as post-racial. He is a fantastically flawed detective who happens to be black, not a black fantastically flawed detective. Does the fact that Elba is the associate producer of the show ensure that his race is not the focal point? Would Olivia Pope be the Olivia Pope we know and love if she was not the creation of Shonda Rhimes (head writer and executive producer of Grey's Anatomy and Private Practice)?

This is not to say that white writers are incapable of creating roles for black actors that do not adhere to the same tired narratives of gun crime, for example — but if the likes of Channel 4's Top Boy is anything to go by, that seems to be a truism. In Hollywood, there is a generation of female actors rising up and creating the roles they want to play – roles that are free from male domination and do not reduce them to one-dimensional subordinates. There is no reason why black British female actors cannot also rise up and do the same on this side of the Atlantic – the onus is on them, and existing black writers, to do so.

Film producer and screenwriter Sheila Nortley, who we have to thank for the remarkable short film Zion, says: "Black screenwriters can improve the representation of black females on TV by simply being great writers and applying the due diligence and care needed to cultivate any believable character in a narrative to their black characters. This should maybe come from a sense of responsibility not only to their race, but also to their art as writers."

Hopefully, the next time I see a trailer starring a black female protagonist, her accent will be British. Reported by guardian.co.uk 9 hours ago.

In the Critics this Week

This week's books pages feature everything from Disraeli to walls, from futuristic distopias to self-help books on autism.

The books section this week begins with David Marquand’s glittering review of Dick Leonard’s “crowning achievement”, The Great Rivalry: Disraeli and Gladstone. Marquand begins by pouring flattery upon Leonard’s literary skill, and approach to this book.



It is written with captivating panache, packed with well-chosen quotations, full of psychological insight and, at one and the same time, readable, entertaining and illuminating.



Marquand himself then goes on to explore Disraeli and Gladstone’s own crowing achievements, from their approach to imperial affairs, to their most significant pieces of legislation. Marquand subsequently questions who Leonard himself preferred in the Great Rivalry, believing it to be Disraeli, due to Gladstone’s somewhat perturbing charisma:



Disraeli [unlike Gladstone] was not charismatic in the Weberian sense. He was more fun to be with than Gladstone, perhaps because he didn’t take himself so seriously. But by definition, charismatic leaders do take themselves seriously. They think of themselves as the vehicles and instruments of a higher cause: Gladstone’s statement after receiving the Queen’s commission to form his first government that his “mission” was to “pacify Ireland” is a good example. There is something wild, un-controlled and untethered about charismatic leadership, and that disconcerts rational moderates such as Leonard and me.



All in all, Marquand manages to produce an inventive and analytical review.

Michael Prodger continues the Disraeli theme with his review of Douglas Hurd and Edward Young’s Disraeli: or the Two Lives. Once again, Disraeli’s character is closely examined, a man with an obscuring “vividness of character”, “a Boris Johnson but with substance”.

In a precise and insightful review, Prodger praises a “concise but balanced assessment, on a man who “was always led interested in other people than he was in himself””.

In contrast, NS deputy editor Helen Lewis’ review of Susan Greenfield’s 2121: A Tale from the Next Century is far from complimentary. After examining the author’s recent fall from grace in scientific circles, Lewis launches into a cutting, and at times humorous attack on Greenfield’s debut novel.



The prose is a mess. There are errant commas, clunking clichés and banal phrases such as “tossed about in a vast sea of heightened emotions devoid of passions. Everyone seems weirdly obsessed with comparing their current situation with that in the early 21^st century- “she gestured to the high-speed pod, still recognisable as a distant descendant of its predecessors from a century or two ago” - which, when you think about it, makes as much sense as a writer now describing a car as “still reminiscent of a 19^th-century landau."



Lewis combines a questioning of the author’s motive, and an attack on her literary ability to produce a biting and comical review.

Owen Hatherley’s review of Marcel Di Cintio’s Walls: Travels Along the Barricades, adds a global feel to this week’s book section. Hatherley explains that Di Cintio’s travel book offers far more than just his “acute” and “vivid renderings” of landscapes. Hatherley praises Di Cintio’s “unobtrusive and erudite” historical asides, before concluding with what he sees as one of the most enduring aspects.



What is memorable in Walls is its deep pessimism. Whenever a dismantlement appears to be imminent, as in Nicosia, inertia and cynicism invariably win out over the let’s-all-hold-hands anti-politics of the UN and the NGOs. In Belfast, Di Cintio notes the removal of the “peace line” that once divided a park in Ardoyne but considers the underground wall that runs between the Catholic and Protestant sections of Belfast City Cemetery to be “a more relevant symbol than the image of little girls frolicking through a gate that opens every once in a while. The constructions of brick, concrete and steel that divide people are not only enduring but thriving.



Hatherley’s examination of this poignant book proves to be expansive and engaging.

Caroline Crampton completes this week’s books section with her review of Naoki Higashida’s The Reason I Jump, an inspirational and personal account which looks to enlighten readers on the reality of dealing with autism. Translated by David Mitchell and K A Yoshida, who themselves have an autistic child, Lewis delves into the book’s approach to autism. She discusses both our misconceptions, and the book’s genius in uncovering them.



Every page dismantles another preconception about autism. For a start, Higashida writes mainly in the plural- we need your help, we need your understanding- as if he is not alone but part of a great community of silent children around the world. He explains that it’s physically painful to hold back his “weird voice” (that loud, thick, over-worked diction that autistic people some-times use) because it feels “as if I’m strangling my own throat.



Reading this review in itself forces one to think on their own views regarding autism, invoking empathy and encouraging understanding.

This week's magazine also features Talitha Stevenson reviewing The Trip to Echo Spring by Olivia Laing, and Fiona Sampson on Clive James's translation of The Divine Comedy.

Also in the Critics:

· Jason Cowley on Kenneth Branagh's Macbeth.
· Ryan Gilbey reviews the latest collaboration between Edgar Wright and Simon Pegg, At World's End.

Vogue: Dress the Part: HBO's The Newsroom

*by Mark Guiducci, Vogue *

In one episode of The Newroom's first season, Maggie and Jim make a field trip to Flounce, a would-be Manhattan boutique where shopgirl Lisa, their roommate and love, respectively, is helping a customer find a dress for the Tony Awards. The News Night duo's utter indifference toward their friend's profession and pending commission on the sale -- save for Jim's incredulity at hearing one Alexander McQueen dress's five-figure price tag ("That's three times what I paid for my car!" he balks )-- underscores the characters' larger presumption that fashion is pretty much a nonissue for serious journalists like themselves.

*See more: 2013 Fashion Trends: Denim Guide*

And yet, while the women of The Newsroom are exchanging barbs at full-tilt Sorkinian speed, they find style choices to be nonetheless unavoidable (and often useful), as the offices of Atlantis Cable News simultaneously function as journalistic ground zero, corporate jungle gym, and an all-too-intimate dating pool.

We only ever see these women, devoted to their professional lives as they are, in one mode of dress -- business attire -- but each finds a way to make the work uniform her own. Alison Pill's ambitious upstart, Maggie, embellishes her sensible shift with studs or dangling earrings. Pill said that in preparing for the show, she "had a very specific sense that Maggie wouldn't wear too many pants (or heels, for the matter), because she's from the Midwest. By the end of the second season, though, she has spent some more time in New York and you'll see her in leather ankle boots and black skinny jeans." Olivia Munn's multilingual Sloan looks to modern takes on the pantsuit for her recurring on-camera economic reports. The minimal pencil skirt-and-Equipment blouse combination is de rigueur for Emily Mortimer's executive producer, MacKenzie, though she accessorizes perfectly with gold pendant necklaces and a black plastic headset. Up in the executive offices, layered loops of pearls undeniably do for Jane Fonda's sniping matriarch, Leona, what a Windsor tie would do for a man in her position. The four women, who each embody a different age and rung, all interpret office chic in a way that allows them to be honorably married to their jobs and still date their co-workers on the side.

*See more: Vogue's Most Beautiful Weddings*


As The Newsroom's second season gets under way, viewers will get reacquainted with News Nights' tribulations right where they left off: What did Will McAvoy (Jeff Daniels) actually tell MacKenzie in the wiretapped voicemail? Will Sloan/Don/Maggie/Jim's quadrangle untangle itself? And does anyone else suspect that Leona and her tweedy foil Sam Waterston's Charlie Skinner are harboring some ancient history? One question that the HBO series has long decided for itself, however, is whether its characters can be both serious and well dressed. Lest we forget, even the gruffest of News Night's journalists, Will McAvoy himself, gets his hair and makeup done every night.

LOS ANGELES (AP) - Kerry Washington knows just how to celebrate her Emmy nomination: by going to work. "I just feel more indebted to them than ever before," the 35-year-old actress said Thursday as she prepared to meet the shows cast and crew to run through the first script of the new season of "Scandal.""Im really excited that I get to see them and thank them today, because theres no way you can pull off playing a character like Olivia on a show that spans 22 episodes without having real gladiators in the trenches with you." Washington was nominated for lead actress in a drama for her portrayal of high-powered political strategist and soft-hearted incurable romantic Olivia Pope. The actress is among only five non-white acting nominees the field of 96, and the first black actress to compete in the lead dramatic category since Cicely Tyson was nominated in 1995. If Washington wins when the Emmy Awards are presented in September, she will be the first black actress ever to do so. While she declined to address the history of the Emmys, she called the recognition "wonderful.""I feel really excited and proud to live in a world where a show that embodies so much diversity on so many levels _ because our show is so diverse with regard to race and ethnicity and gender and sexual orientation _ that a show that really celebrates inclusivity is able to be such a success both in the U.S. Reported by MyNorthwest.com 1 hour ago.

Jason Sudeikis Credits His Recent Weight Loss To Sex With Fiancé Olivia Wilde

Jason Sudeikis is looking much slimmer these days and he has his new fiancé, actress Olivia Wilde, to thank.

"The truth is, I’m not getting up an hour earlier and walking on a treadmill," Sudeikis reveals in the August issue of Elle magazine. "I have the greatest workout partner in the world. And you don’t need a gym membership for that kind of workout."

The couple, who got engaged in January, have always been vocal about their active sex life.

“We have sex like Kenyan marathon runners,” Wilde said last year, while Sudeikis told Elle, "I would say that’s accurate."

Wilde has said that before she met Sudeikis, “I felt like my vagina died. It just turned off. Lights out.”

Sudeikis continued to gush about his bride-to-be, saying "she’s hilarious and kind and sweet."

When the magazine asked Sudeikis if there was a more masculine story he wanted to tell the public about himself than the one Wilde recently told about him falling out of a kayak, he responded, "What better story than meeting the girl of your dreams, sweeping her off her feet, and then being strong enough to carry her out? That’s my story."

But it's not just Wilde who is responsible for the funny man's slim down.

"A lot of it comes from tiny things, like not eating barbecue sauce with my pizza at two in the morning," admits Sudeikis. "I think it’s all a manifestation of being happy and wanting to treat myself well."

 Here's Sudeikis showing off his svelte new frame at Spike TV's Guys Choice Awards last month:

And here he is at the ESPY Awards in 2010:

Olivia Wilde Shows Us How To Wear A Crop Top

This week, the best-dressed list was full of stars owning the crop top trend. Miley Cyrus finally hit it out of the park in a perforated belly-baring top, while Olivia Wilde showed the world that just because your tummy is exposed, doesn't mean you can't look demure and sophisticated.

With all the stellar looks this week, it was difficult to pick a favorite, but Emmy Rossum's printed Carolina Herrera gown takes home the prize. Not only did the A-lister accessorize the dress perfectly (nothing is better than blue and red), but she also picked a silhouette that was perfect for her body type.

Check out our picks, and let us know if you agree!

*Nicole Richie in Balmain*

This is a very successful attempt at power clashing. The vertical stripes on Richie's pants elongate her legs, while their neutral color provide a nice contrast to her printed top.

*Kelly Ripa*

Nude pumps and floral dresses are a great combination. The neutral-colored shoes don't compete with Ripa's printed dress, making this a clean and fresh summer look.

*Emmy Rossum in Carolina Herrera*

The "Beautiful Creatures" star hit a home run with this dress. She balanced out the full printed skirt with a solid fitted bodice, and showcased her long arms with a sleek updo.

*Catherine Zeta-Jones in Maria Lucia Hohan*

Va-va-voom! This is one sexy look. The "Broken City" star highlighted her toned arms and beautiful collarbone in this strapless gown. We also like how the long train on the dress is broken up with lace detailing and a high slit.

*Miley Cyrus in Marc Jacobs *

Finally, Miley gets it right! Although she's combining a lot of different trends (crop tops, bold stripes and sporty finishes), it works because she has picked a figure-flattering silhouette and a neutral palette.

*Giuliana Rancic*

This ensemble goes to show that a dress can be amazing because of fit. The "E! News" anchor shows off her trim figure in a LBD that hugs her curves in all the right places, while her strappy heels add just the right amount of visual interest.

*Stacy Keibler in Christian Siriano*

A patterned high-waisted skirt is a great way to dress up a plain black T-shirt. George Clooney's ex played up the white in her skirt with a pair of matching pumps and injected a little fun into her ensemble with an animal print belt.

*Olivia Wilde in A.L.C.*

This is how you wear a crop top! Wilde was smart when she assembled this look, as her belly-baring top is showcasing her narrowest part, while her exposed tummy is being balanced out by a long hemline.

*McKayla Maroney in Saunder*

Gold seems to be this lady's color. The Olympic gymnast wowed the crowds once again in a floor length gown that was as stunning as it was figure-flattering. Her look was finished off perfectly with bold red lipstick and a messy updo.

*Selena Gomez in Dolce & Gabbana*

Selena found her shade. The "Spring Breakers" star shone (literally) in a form-fitting embellished dress with a short hemline that was balanced out by long sleeves and a conservative neckline.
