At the Total Recall photocall in Beverly Hills, Biel sparkled in a gunmetal gray Oscar de la Renta dress. The piece gives antique lace a glam update with a metallic-finished top, which is echoed in the actress’ minimal but elegant choice of only a gold bangle as an accessory. Matching gray ankle-strap pumps and a bright poppy lip complete the romantic look.

While running errands in West Hollywood, Biel tucked a sheer tangerine knit top into a pair of black ankle-length skinnies. Her gold nameplate necklace bearing boyfriend Justin Timberlake’s name might be the accessory that all the gossip glossies are talking about, but it’s her pair of two-tone crochet oxfords that caught tFS’s eye. The actress’ tortoiseshell cat-eye sunglasses add the perfect touch to her old-school preppy look.

Biel showed off her long legs in a bright white frock by Christian Dior which featured a retro full skirt with textural stripes. With her glam 50s ponytail and winged eye makeup, the look would’ve been a total throw-back were it not for the injection of neon from the contrasting lemon yellow heel on her pumps by Nicholas Kirkwood. A subtle swipe of coral nail polish was the only addition this look needed.
