Jeff Vespa/WireImage Kristen Stewart and Dakota Fanning are building quite a filmography together, first with the Twilight series and now with their biopic The Runaways . But while the off-screen friends may share similar taste in scripts, their styles tend to be fairly different — and last night’s L.A. premiere of The Runaways was no exception. While Kristen paired her rocker hairstyle with an edgy hot pink Doo.Ri minidress, Dakota went for a more traditionally glam look in her shimmering Valentino Haute Couture frock.
Jon Kopaloff/FilmMagic Just like every other fashionista, Gwyneth Paltrow is gearing up for spring, and the style star is sharing her must-haves for the season in her GOOP newsletter. “Hands down, our most coveted, most transitional must-have for spring is the dress. Put it in a rich royal sapphire color with classic details that DVF does so well – a fitted waist, tiered bottom and flirty cut – and you have a piece that will take you effortlessly from day to night,” writes Gwyneth, who called upon New York-based stylist Annie Ladino to help her find spring’s hottest pieces. And for a piece that will get you all the way through to fall, Gwyneth recommends “the little white dress,” of course! “In all its incarnations, it is the perfect piece to pack for all your summer getaways.” Designers, says Gwyneth, really showed the “playful side of fashion” this season with all-over prints, stripes, textured zig-zags, tie-dye and embellished fabrics to name a few.
James Devaney/WireImage Target’s designer collaborations always have bargain-hunting fashionistas eager to shop, and for the launch of Liberty of London’s first Target collection Naomi Watts was one of them. “I was born and raised in England and my mom’s an interior designer and was always obsessed with Liberty fabrics and textiles,” the star told PEOPLE at Wednesday’s launch. “There are dresses on the racks where I’m like ‘Oh my god.’ It brings up so much nostalgia because I know I had that dress or something in the vicinity.” So what does the long-time fan think of the iconic print house’s new collection for Target? “It’s very feminine and pretty
Marion Curtis/Startraks Ladies, all your fantasies have been answered — if only you were in Jason Lewis’s bedroom at night. “I sleep in nothing,” says Lewis, 38 with a laugh. “Nothing gets between me and my sheets!” The Sex and the City heartthrob spoke with PEOPLE at last night’s launch for Charisma’s new bath and towel line at Bloomingdales in Manhattan — after all, he’s the face of their sexy new ad campaign
While collections from the world’s most famous design houses are shown during Paris Fashion Week, none will be more memorable than Alexander McQueen’s. The late designer, who took his own life just weeks ago, reduced the glamorous fashion crowd to tears with his final collection of signature bold prints–a Hollywood favorite of stars like Salma Hayek , Camille Belle and Anna Paquin –and flowing gowns worthy of the Oscars’ red carpet. Printed at the end of the show’s line sheets, according to WWD , were simple words– “Each piece is unique, as was he”– which seemed to embody the somber atmosphere of the late designer’s final runway collection. “It was a very moving experience to take a deep and serious look at his last collection
Brian Flannery/Flynet Lately, Kate Gosselin ’s hair has experienced as many ups and downs as the reality show star herself. This week, the 34-year-old mother of eight stepped out with a cropped bob — a stark contrast to the shoulder-length extensions she’d been sporting courtesy of her 20-hour makeover from celebrity hairstylist Ted Gibson back in early January. But while rehearsing for her upcoming spin as a contestant on Dancing With the Stars , Gosselin stopped in for a visit to stylist Gibson for a new cropped do.
Flynet When you think of Amy Winehouse , impeccable personal style might not be the first thought that pops into your mind. The singer, 26, is often seen in scruffy ballet shoes and jeans, along with her signature beehive — a look that has brought her regular mentions in the worst dressed lists. But there’s no doubting her street-smart reputation and cultural impact and one label has been ubiquitous in her wardrobe: British sportswear designer Fred Perry. Now, she has teamed with the firm, which is known for its Mod-style clean looks, to create a 17 piece clothing and accessories collection

Jamie McCarthy/Getty It’s official: Whitney Port is the new spokesperson for acne-fighting device Zeno Hotspot. “My career puts a lot of emphasis on having clear skin,” the MTV reality star explains of why she wanted to partner with the brand and star in a series of print ads and television spots as part of her new role.

Seth Browarnik/Startraks Reggie Bush isn’t the only true love in Kim Kardashian ’s life. The reality star can’t get enough of beauty products! Having already launched her own signature scent and recently admitting that her dream job would be as a Sephora shopgirl , Kim and her sisters are joining forces to promote new skincare line PerfectSkinTM. “I have literally tried everything out there and nothing even comes close to PerfectSkin,” Kim says in a release for the three-step skincare system. Khloe offers her own reasons for representing the brand: “These products are so luxurious.

Olivier Douliery/Abaca While many designers dreamed of creating Michelle Obama ’s inaugural gown, it was young Jason Wu who nabbed the honor with his one-of-a-kind one shoulder ivory gown with delicate floral details. And today, the 27-year old designer stood next to the stylish First Lady, in a Prabal Gurung sheath, as his handiwork was donated to the Smithsonian to be a part of “The First Ladies at the Smithsonian” exhibit. Mrs. Obama praised Wu’s work as being “a masterpiece
Jean Baptiste Lacroix/WireImage Katherine Heigl may be returning to the halls of Seattle Grace Hospital, but she won’t be doing it as a blonde! The Grey’s Anatomy star stepped out for lunch yesterday in L.A. as a brunette! And while Katherine has become one of Hollywood’s most noteworthy blonde bombshells, we are loving her darker do. The drastic color change and longer length is definitely a look Katherine can pull off
Kevin Mazur/Wireimage If Project Runway season four alum “almost fainted” when Meryl Streep asked him to design her Golden Globes dress, you can begin to imagine his ecstatic reaction to being tapped to design her Oscars’ gown. “I was thrilled and honored to get another call from Meryl,” Chris March tells PEOPLE.com. The always-charming designer and the Best Actress Nominee put their heads together to create the perfect, custom look for Meryl’s turn on the Academy Awards red carpet. “She was dying to wear two matching Fred Leighton Art Deco black and diamond bracelets, and wanted something white and Old Hollywood glamour to go with them. Her only requirement was a fabulously plunging neckline,” says Chris.
Todd Williamson/FilmMagic; Matt Sayles/AP; John Shearer/Getty The fashion spotlight may have focused on the ladies at the Academy Awards , but that doesn’t mean that Sandra Bullock , Penelope Cruz and Kristen Stewart were the night’s only scene-stealers . Hollywood’s leading men got suited up and ready to sizzle . But the question remains, which Hollywood hunk would you have wanted to stand beside as your Oscars date? Going the manly route, Best Actor nominee George Clooney balanced his elegant Giorgio Armani with longer hair and a little masculine scruff. Twilight ’s famously bare-chested star Taylor Lautner kept covered in a perfectly fitted Dolce & Gabbana tuxedo (and we didn’t hear anyone complaining)
If you thought Kellan Lutz ’s Calvin Klein X Underwear ads were hot, you haven’t seen anything yet! The Twilight hunk joins fellow Calvin Klein Underwear models Mehcad Brooks, Fernando Verdasco and Hidetoshi Nakata in a steamy commercial that features the buff stars in nothing but their logo-ed skivvies. Check out the XXX video here.
Guibbaud Christophe/Abaca It looks like Lindsay Lohan might have a little more time to focus exclusively on her 6126 line of leggings and apparel in the days ahead. After months of tumult over her appointment as the artistic advisor for Emanuel Ungaro — and one not well-received runway show — the unlikely team appears to have parted ways. The actress was not present at the Ungaro fashion show today during Paris Fashion Week, and the brand’s owner Asim Abdullah told WWD backstage, “She’s not involved in this collection,” while declining to comment further. The actress quickly went from describing her catwalk debut as “pretty much a fairytale” to being bashed in the design world, even incurring the ire of the brand’s respected namesake founder, who deemed her first and maybe only collection for his former house “a disaster.” Tell us: What do you think of Lindsay’s possible departure from Ungaro? –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester
Johns PkI/Splash News Online From being Johnny Depp ’s leading lady to Karl Lagerfeld’s latest muse, Vanessa Paradis sure is one lucky girl! The French singer-actress is set to become the new face of Chanel’s sporty Coco Cocoon handbag line, according to WWD . Taking over the reins from British pop star Lily Allen, Vanessa will appear in the collection’s spring ad campaign shot by the iconic designer himself. And while we loved Lily’s Audrey Hepburn-esque ads for the brand, we can’t wait to see what Karl will produce for Vanessa, who is currently also the face of Chanel’s Rouge Coco lipstick. Karl’s edgy couture combined with Vanessa’s Parisian chic is sure to be hit! Be on the look out for Vanessa’s ads in June fashion magazines and be sure to check back here for more information
Steve Granitz/WireImage We wait for the Academy Awards patiently every year, dying to see what catwalk confections our favorite stars will wear. And this year, our patience was amply rewarded with gorgeous gowns, sparkling jewels and perfect updos. Ruffles ruled from Demi Moore ’s Atelier Versace to Jennifer Lopez ’s Armani Prive to Vera Farmiga’s Marchesa.
Courtesy Alex and Ani; Dave Allocca/Startraks While Oscar nominee Sandra Bullock certainly has her pick of baubles from any jeweler she’d like, the actress might just choose sentiment over statement for tonight’s red carpet. Leigh Anne Tuohy, the real-life woman whom Sandra portrayed in her Oscar-nominated role in The Blind Side , and her daughter Collins asked eco-friendly jewelry company Alex and Ani to create a special set of their Signature Expandable Bangles for the actress to say “we love you and good luck” at the Oscars. The mother-and-daughter team had a “good luck” charm, a guardian angel charm and even a Baltimore Ravens charm in honor of Michael Oher added to the set of bangles. We think the bracelets would look great with either of our gown predictions for Sandra, should she choose to wear them. Want to get a set of Alex and Ani’s Signature Expandable Bangles for yourself
Gilbert Flores/Celebrity Photo; Kevin Winter/Getty It’s been a thrilling award season for fashionistas, from Sandra Bullock ’s polished chic gowns to Carey Mulligan’s quirky high fashion to Penelope Cruz ’s sexy styles with a European savoir-faire flair. And now, the Academy Awards are finally upon us! We’ve made our predictions , and now it’s just hours until the red carpet opens and our favorite stars appear in their finest gowns and jewels.
