12 of the summer’s best-dressed celebrities

Despite the warm-weather temps, celebs managed to look cool on the red carpet and on the streets this summer. Need proof? Just take a look these 12 chic boldfacers.

Biggest risk-taker: Kate Mara

The “House of Cards” star wore a Dolce & Gabbana frock to June’s Tony Awards ceremony in New York, complete with huge shoulders and intricate beading — far from your run-of-the-mill cocktail dress.

Best LBD: Kate Hudson

The “Wish I Was Here” siren vamped up this not-so-little black Michael Kors gown with slick hair and deep purple lips at the flick’s July premiere in New York City.

Best teeny-bopper: Chloë Grace Moretz

The spunky “If I Stay” darling’s career is in full bloom — not unlike the Miu Miu shift she wore to the film’s August premiere in NYC.

Best newcomer: Odeya Rush

This architectural color-block Paper London dress proves this “Giver” star — who stepped out in this ensemble in Miami this August — is one to watch.

Best transformation: Nicola Peltz

The “Transformers” babe was downright angelic in this Stella McCartney frock she wore to the film’s Hong Kong premiere in June.

Best summer outerwear: Blake Lively

The actress proved you can wear a trench in summertime, as she stepped out in Valentino in May in NYC.

Best menswear look: Emma Watson

This Givenchy outfit the actress wore to July’s Vogue Foundation Gala in Paris totally, ahem, suits her.

Best high-low mix: Olivia Palermo

New York City’s favorite socialite paired an Ann Taylor oxford shirt and vintage leather skirt with killer Aquazzura gladiator heels in NYC in August.

Best use of casual wear: Diane Kruger

While out in LA in May, “The Bridge” star managed to make black-and-white stripes, a tweed blazer and cropped trousers look chic, not bookish.

Best duo: Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen

The design duo displayed their timeless style in their own The Row pieces at June’s CFDA Awards in New York City.

Most memorable: Rihanna

Whether you loved, hated or simply were confused by it, you definitely remembered Rihanna’s “dare to bare” crystal-embellished Adam Selman dress at the CFDA Awards in June.
