Kyle Rover/Startraks With those sculpted limbs, an army of LBDs and gleaming locks, Jennifer Aniston is timeless — and logic defying. “I don’t feel my age,” she says in the March issue of InStyle . “I feel young every day. It’s in the spirit.” Crediting cardio, a balanced diet and an arsenal of must-have products for her looks, the Wanderlust star confesses she is a creature of habit. “On the red carpet , it’s time for me to start doing something different,” she says.

Courtesy Band of Outsiders She may be in the midst of an Oscar campaign, but in Boy. by Band of Outsiders’ newest Polaroid campaign, Michelle Williams looks ready to quit her day job. It’s her second turn modeling for the brand, and this time around, the My Week with Marilyn star plays an unruly office assistant: pulling pranks, filing reports and halfheartedly performing due diligence before taking a lunch break. Despite the shoot’s location — a Hollywood cemetery! — Williams happily hams it up it in the brand’s floral spring/summer collection. It seems designer Scott Sternberg has a knack for taking stars out of their natural habitat: previous campaigns depict  Kirsten Dunst as a zookeeper, James Marsden as a mailman and Rupert Grint as a hard-partying gambler. Tell us: What do you think of Williams’s cool campaign photos

Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic It’s officially a trend! Rachel McAdams is the latest star to add bangs to her hairstyle, debuting the look at the Los Angeles premiere of The Vow (sponsored by Ralph Lauren Romance) Monday night. The star stepped out in a sky-blue Vivienne Westwood dress and glimmering jewels, complementing her look with smoky eyes, red lips and her new blonde bangs. McAdams joins a growing list of leading ladies who’ve added bangs to their hair recently, including Jessica Biel , Rose Byrne , Cameron Diaz ( sometimes ), Olivia Wilde , Kim Kardashian (who tried clip-ons ) and Reese Witherspoon , who cut them to cover a forehead scar

Courtesy Herbal Essences With her hair constantly at the mercy of curling irons, straighteners and blow dryers, Nicole Scherzinger relies on hydrating products to keep her hair healthy. And now, she’ll likely have a lot of them at her disposable: the singer and former X Factor judge is the newest face of Herbal Essences. “It’s amazing,” she tells PEOPLE of the new gig. “I have a big grin on my face and I’m glowing. I’m really proud to be partnered with this brand.” Courtesy Herbal Essences Though Scherzinger calls her “super-long” hair “strong,” she says it’s often hard to take care of because it is subjected to so much heat styling. “I always have to change hairstyles, whether it’s being on TV one minute to being on stage the next, then going to dinner or a meeting,” she explains.

David LaChapelle for GHD It wasn’t just about planking ; Katy Perry ‘s recent stint as a mermaid had to do with her latest series of ads for haircare line ghd. The singer channels Little Mermaid Ariel in her new U.K.-only campaign, (ironically) advertising a hair dryer from below sea level. “I love it because I’m such a fan of the Disney movies,” the newly single star says of her campaign, shot by David LaChapelle. “Ariel is such a big influence. It’s always fun to dress up once in your lifetime as a mermaid and have that fish fin tail.” The glimmering “tail” Perry wears in the photos was custom-made by a Dubai-based designer, but the singer’s favorite part of the look seemed to be wearing the lavender week

X17 Online; Bauer-Griffin Your mother probably told you to always keep covered, but stars like Sofia Vergara and Rachel McAdams are making sexy, sheer tops look oh-so-right. Vergara wore a peek-a-boo black top (plus second-skin leather pants and cute red pumps) on a night out in Los Angeles recently, letting her matching black bra show through. Meanwhile, McAdams made her bold bra statement at a movie premiere , allowing her blue brassiere to show through her fitted cerulean tee. Both actresses kept the look classy — no tight white tanks and fluorescent bras here! — but we want to know what you think.

Splash News Online (2) They’re both attractive, they’re both dads and they’re both at the top of their games: Tom Brady and Eli Manning have a lot in common. And the star quarterbacks — who will come face to face (er, mask to mask) at this weekend’s Super Bowl — are also somewhat immersed in the world of fashion. New England Patriots QB Brady has endorsement deals with Uggs and Under Armour (don’t even get us started on the extensive coverage of his ever-changing hair ), while New York Giants QB Manning recently designed a Citizen watch for charity . But off the field, both guys are pretty low key. Brady is often seen out in Boston with his family — wife Gisele Bündchen and sons Jack and Benjamin — wearing easy off-duty attire, while Manning generally keeps to himself, sometimes stepping out in New York for casual events in jeans and button-down shirts

When the singer debuted a sneak peek at her new platinum do (which she’ll sport on an upcoming cover of ELLE), we couldn’t help but think of another towheaded trouble maker: Taylor Momsen . With that chunky fringe and stained pout (not to mention that major ‘tude!), Rihanna is the spitting image of a good Upper East Sider gone bad.

Getty; Landov; Getty; Pacific Coast News With so many choices to pick from, it’s not exactly a coincidence when style stars like Michelle Williams and Kate Bosworth select feminine frocks from the same London-based label. Best known for micro floral prints and unabashedly feminine silhouettes, Erdem has become an offbeat industry darling. After Claudia Schiffer wore a runway look from his debut ready-to-wear collection in 2006, the designer went on to gain critical and capital success when Barneys New York became the brand’s primary stockist. (The Duchess of Cambridge helped put him on the map , as well.) In the past several months, A-listers have flocked to the lines ethereal frocks and punchy separates, alike. For the New York screening of My Week with Marilyn , Michelle Williams selected an embroidered slip, while ingénue Elizabeth Olsen made a statement in a $4,085 trademark print crepe de chine gown .

Courtesy Dolce & Gabbana Though we’re still scratching our heads over the definition, ‘ aristocratic sauvage girl ,’ we think Felicity Jones’s newly revealed Dolce & Gabbana beauty ads certainly make an impact. In the color-rich ads for the brand’s Khol collection ($20-$59), the up-and-comer looks every inch the Hollywood vet, sporting a perfectly smoky eye and deeply saturated gloss. Check out a behind-the-scenes clip (below), in which the Like Crazy star says the ad marks her first time wearing a full-blown red lip. “[It's] a new direction for me,” she admits. “But with Pat McGrath’s incredible artistry, I’ve tried something slightly different.” We think she looks insanely gorgeous, but want to hear from you
