The lastest celeb to sport a royal blue getup was One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush who showed up at the This Means War premiere in Los Angeles on Wednesday wearing a stunning Olcay Gulsen dress that she paired with Dana Rebecca Designs jewelry.

She’s not the first and certainly not the last to sport this classy color trend. Click the pics to see who else is loving the royal blue style statement. 

Royal blue goes hand-in-hand with another trend this year, monochromatic styles!

One Tree Hill‘s Sophia Bush and Shameless‘ Amy Smart both stopped to speak to Celebuzz about the importance of giving back amid today’s economic turmoil at Satruday’s Art of Elysium gala. Bush even gushed about how her charity work had landed her a visit to the White House.

Check out her full interview above, then Amy (and her hunky hubby Carter Oosterhouse) in the video below.

Not only did Sophia speak to us about her charity, but she also dished a little bit about life after One Tree Hill. With its ninth and final season in full swing, the actress opened up about her future projects.

“I joke now, ‘I’ve got to do my homework now. There’s all these scripts to read and things to look at,’” she said. “It’s a very exciting time. Being in the position to figure what to do next is wonderful.”

But Sophia wasn’t the only star in the giving mood that night! Amy Smart also spoke out about giving back.

“Regardless of the economic climate, I think it’s always important to give back,” said Smart. “It’s part of being a human. It’s a balance. We always have to give back, in my opinion.”

The actress also nabbed herself a charitable mate as well! Hubby Carter Oosterhouse is an integral part of Carter’s Kids, an organization build playgrounds for children all across the United States.

Check out more of the couple’s interview below!

“As for the ‘figure’ thing, I just try not to focus on it too much. This business, all those magazines with retouched models and fad diets can make you crazy. I don’t think that living on a regimen is really living! And maybe I could have a tighter this, or a harder that, but really? I just want to be able to enjoy a glass of wine with friends when I want to, and go to yoga or go surfing when I can. Enjoying the moment is my key to happiness!”

Adding to her healthy lifestyle, Sophia credits putting others before herself (and giving back) is just another key to overall wellness and happiness.

Although she has been keeping a low profile since One Tree Hill, Sophia is making charity work a top priority. She has designed a limited edition waterbobble.com, the reusable water bottle that filters water as you drink, to raise proceeds in aid of The Nature Conservancy, which aims to protect the lands and waters that plants, animals and natural communities need to survive.

“I became obsessed with bobble a long time ago, and immediately started giving them to family and friends. Once I joined Twitter, I actually wrote a blog about them, highlighting how great they are for the environment and cutting down plastic waste. I find it crazy that people spend so much money on bottled water, when tap water is actually more regulated and tested! I linked the blog to Charity:Water, in an effort to remind people how lucky we are to have access to clean water. A few weeks later I was contacted by the people at bobble, who had made a $1,000 donation to Charity:Water on behalf of my twitter followers as a thank you for the blog! Right then and there I knew that these were great people, who understand that business can be socially conscious and successful. We all met in New York and came up with the idea for The Nature Conservancy bobble,” she explained.

She went straight to the drawing board to find inspiration for a unique design — ultimately ending up with a tri-color filter.

“The idea actually came from the kids’ bobble I’d seen. I loved the multicolored filters. And I knew we could have fun with the idea of “going green” as well as nod toward colors found in nature. It feels great to be reminded, as you sip from the bottle, that you’re helping to preserve your environment. Being a bobble user helps to keep plastic out of landfills. Stopping our use of single serving plastic containers is one of the easiest things we can do to take care of the world around us.”

She hopes her charitable work will inspire her fans — and teens around the world — to give back and understand how influential they can be if they’re passionate about a cause.

“I think it’s good for everyone to give back! I’m particularly moved by the motivation of young people though. There is so much resilience and belief in them. Teenagers want to change the world. And they can. The drive is there. And when you are developing, growing into yourself, and discovering just what it is you want to do in life, what better influence than philanthropy! Developing a passion for the planet, for clean water, for women’s issues around the world, just might lead you to create the next Invisible Children or  Charity: Waterh. That potential is incredible.”

One Tree Hill star Sophia Bush was no exception, looking absolutely stunning at the BCBG Max Azria Spring 2012 show on Thursday. Sophia, 29, paired a loose-fitting dress with nude strapped heels and appeared to be having a great time with her front row fashion statement.  The star tweeted during the festivities, saying:

“Front row @BCBGMAXAZRIA – my favorite collection of theirs for years!! Stunning.” 

Recently, Sophia has helped develop a new charity project called Defend Tomorrow Initiative. You can check out her work with the charity at ApolisGlobal.com. 

What do you think of Sophia’s look? Play fashion critic in the comments!

The One Tree Hill actress flashed generous amounts of gam while leaving a taping of Chelsea Handler‘s show Chelsea Lately in Los Angeles on Monday.

Bush, 28, revealed this week that she has a personal connection to the tragic shooting in Tucson, Arizona, over the weekend, that claimed the lives of six and left 14 others, including Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords, injured. Noting that one of the fatalities, nine-year-old Christina Taylor Green, was her second cousin, Bush wrote on her Twitter account,

“There are no words to explain what my cousin’s family is going through in Arizona…How can this be? Violence is never the answer…”

Vegan lasagna-lover Lea and vegetarian Sophia were both lovely ladies in nude – but it’s up to the Celebuzz faithful to decide this Fashion Face-Off. Will it be the petite Glee star in full-length cream or the One Tree Hill actress in a one-shoulder Grecian number?

Let us know in the poll – who’s the hotter friend of the animals – Lea or Sophia?

The One Tree Hill actress is putting on her running shoes to raise funds for victims of the spill. Bush will participate in a half marathon in November, with proceeds going to charitable organization Global Green USA.

Donors who sponsor Bush’s run will also get a little something for themselves; those who donate $28 will automatically be entered to win a One Tree Hill Season 7 DVD set signed by the entire cast. 

Hill admits that the run will be a difficult one for her, writing,

“I am going to run a half marathon this November. Yup. Me. The asthmatic with a years-old knee injury, who hasn’t run a mile since Junior High. No seriously. Since Junior High, as in since I was 13 years old. For the record I am now 28!”

Sounds like she’s up for a challenge. Are you ready to meet it? Get in on the action and support a good cause by donating here.

Hills defector Lauren Conrad and her boyfriend, My Boys actor Kyle Howard, were on hand for the showdown between the Lakers and the Orlando Magic, as were rapper Kanye West, Jessica Simpson and her Dallas Cowboys beau Tony Romo, ardent Lakers supporter Leonardo DiCaprio, One Tree Hill actress Sophia Bush and Good Charlotte rocker Benji Madden.

In the end it seems that the A-List supporters gave their home team a big boost; the Lakers whooped the Magic 100-75.

Have your say in the comments section: Are you rooting for the Lakers, the Magic, or neither?

Mad Men‘s January Jones showed to support Leger helmer Max Azria, rocking his signature bandage dress in deep coral with white trim and a tough black motorcycle jakcet—quite the departure from the 60s housewife looks she rocks alongside John Hamm.

Other fans of the figure-flattering wrap dress included Sophia Bush and Michelle Trachtenberg, who both donned the frock in gunmetal, grey and white.

90210‘s Jessica Stroup spiced things up with a lemongrass version and an oversized with clutch (possibly standard sized but magnifyed by the actress’ tiny frame).

The only dark lady came in Lucy Liu form, the hit of front-row celebrity seating in a sweet, split-sleeve little black dress.

Don’t believe it? It’s happened time and again. Not even the audience could deny the chemistry between Noah and Allie in The Notebook; so it was no surprise when Ryan Gosling and Rachel McAdams got together in real life.

Then there’s the spark that started between Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie on the set of Mr. & Mrs. Smith. Look at the couple now. They’ve got six kids!

Some have faded. Others are still going strong. They all began with a little on-screen flirtation!

Here she is at LAX, gamely letting a fan sneak a quick snapshot with her. Her eyes say,  “This is a pain in the ass. But at the same time, he knows who I am.”

Thankfully, the producers made the smart decision to move One Tree Hill forward in time a couple years so the 35-year-olds don’t have to play high school kids anymore.

Sophia had a moment in the spotlight when her husband and co-star Chad Michael Murray left her for an extra on the set five months after they were married in 2005.

That must be a completely tension-free working evironment these days, huh?
