Just adding and formalizing @David 's solution from above:

Note that jQuery functions are chainable and return 'this' so that multiple invocations can be called one after the other (e.g $container.css("overflow", "hidden").css("outline", 0);).

So the improved code should be:

(function() {
    var ev = new $.Event('style'),
        orig = $.fn.css;
    $.fn.css = function() {
        var ret = orig.apply(this, arguments);
        $(this).trigger(ev);
        return ret; // must include this
    }
})();
