With the 2013 Met Gala just days away, the fashion frenzy is in full effect!

We tapped Fashion Star host Louise Roe to dish on her celebrity style predictions, favorite trends of the moment and beauty secrets for looking camera-ready all the time.

Here's what she shared with us: 

Louise, you have amazing style and see designer collections on a daily basis. Who is your all-time favorite designer?
Marchesa.

Who is your Met Gala Best Dressed prediction?
Kate Bosworth. She kills it every time and always in an experimental, daring way. You can tell she enjoys dressing up.

If you could wear anything to the Met Gala, your gown would look like...
Anything resembling Gwyneth Paltrow in white Tom Ford at 2012 Oscars would be insane. Something simple, clean and elegant along those lines, perhaps with a twist.

What is your favorite punk rock fashion item?
A studded army-green vest from Guess.

What is the one item you couldn't live without?
I have an acid-yellow Clemmie bag from my new Stylistpick.com collection. It's my summer staple—I'm wearing it with prints, jeans, dresses...everything!

My favorite meal is...
Mexican. Guacamole, burritos, margaritas and I'm the happiest girl ever!

My favorite musical artist is...
Angus & Julia Stone.

On my iPod right now is...
Creedence Clearwater Revival. All my friends are laughing at me because I'm obsessed, as if it's something brand new! It's the best road trip music.

What is your favorite workout?
Reebok Crossfit is killer!

You never leave home without...
Maybelline waterproof mascara. In summer that's the best way to keep my makeup from running in the heat.

What are your must-have gadgets when traveling?
My Samsung tablet. I used to be so bad with technology, and this thing is my friend!

The best shoes for a red carpet event?
Ruthie Davis. So bright and elegant.

And for dancing?
Anything by Jimmy Choo. Somehow they mold to my feet and are the comfiest things!

The best beauty tip I have is...
Switch a black eyeliner for brown, and a dramatic smoky eye for a chocolate-brown one. Much more chic. Add a touch of bronzer underneath the lower lashes for a warm glow.

I have a celebrity style crush on...
Miranda Kerr.  Her style is gorgeous, but importantly, also attainable. She mixes jeans or leather pants with bright tops and printed blazers.

The new designer you need to know about is...
Holly Fulton.

Every woman should own these three items:
A fedora hat for summer, a printed scarf by Theodora & Callum to make any outfit pop, a cropped faded denim jacket from Express.

My favorite spring fashion trend is...
Sorbet-colored leather.
