Doesn’t she rock? Aside from her dress, her makeup is awesome. Notice that lots of the ladies who chose red dresses stuck to a lighter, more neutral lip instead of going with a bright red. That, my friends, is a very wise choice. If you’re wearing a bold-colored dress, play up your eyes (which Miley did very well here) and keep your lips soft and natural.

Also notice Miley’s earrings. Because her dress is elegant and simple, she did right by wearing some very Notice-Me earrings. Her hairstyle completes the look by not competing with her dress or earrings for attention.

This is the perfect look to emulate for Prom. If red’s not your color, choose a different one, but follow the same rules.

Well done, Miley. Well done!

This has pretty much got to be the celeb equivalent of showing up to Prom in the same dress as someone else – Carrie Underwood and Lauren Conrad wearing the same coat – gasp!

Sure, this is one of the cutest coats ev-ah, and of course, both of these gorgeous starlets look fab. But one of them pulls this off better than the other, IMO. How ’bout you? Who do you think rocks this out – Carrie Underwood or Lauren Conrad?

P.S. In case you want to put yourself in the running too, this coat will run you a cool $500 from Betsey Johnson. Oh, to dream.

As I sit here thinking about how I can fix my hair blondification that went a little wrong, I got to thinking that sometimes change ain’t all it’s cracked up to be. Maybe I should’ve left well enough alone. Maybe I’m just not meant to be as blond as I once was. Maybe I should just quit with this change nonsense and be all boring and predictable.

Nah! What’s the fun in that?

Change is good. Change is exciting. Change is motivating. And while that’s all well and good for us normal peeps, what about when a starlet makes a big change? Does it affect the way you think about him or her?

Case in point: Miley Cyrus. Blond one day, brunette the next. Will this change affect her success? Do you love this darker look or hate it?

Another example: Ashley Tisdale’s nose job. Personally, I am not loving it. I understand she had a medical necessity and needed a fix, but overall, I think this new nose takes away from her lovable “faulty” look. I adored her old nose because it set her apart from all the other young blond actresses out there a la Hayden Panettiere, Blake Lively et al. Now she’s just like all the others.

In my opinion, sometimes change is not a good thing. What do you guys think?

Ready to drool? Then take a peek at this. This is the new “Hayden” bag from Dooney & Bourke, inspired by Heroes actress, cutie pie Hayden Panettiere. Is this not amazing? At 500 bones, I suppose it darn well ought to be amazing, but this truly is a collector’s item and a bag you will get mucho use out of.

It’s got compartments inside and a cell holder to boot. Love it. You’ve got a choice of a few colors, but red is my pick.

So go ahead and splurge. Since it’s finals week for lots of you, you deserve it, don’t you? Or how about an early graduation gift? Really early.

I’m just sayin’…She who wants a fabulous bag bad enough figures out a way, does she not?

Amanda Bynes and Brittany Snow at the Critics’ Choice Awards

She looks great in white. She looks great in purple. Hair up, hair down. Is there anything Amanda Bynes can’t rock? Seriously.

Here’s A.B. along with fellow Hairspray-er Brittany Snow, at the Critics’ Choice Awards on Sunday. They are both looking so fun and glamorous in their bright dresses – a bold choice for a winter awards show.

Both of these looks are perfect for winter formals and going for a notice-me-now color like these two did seems like a winning choice. Smooth on a self-tanner and you’re gold!

Amanda Bynes

As if Amanda Bynes is not cute enough, now she had to go and take one giant Hollywood trend and rock the heck out of it.

Doesn’t she look totally cute here? The dress. The shoes. The clutch. The shoes. The hair. The shoes. If you have a winter formal coming up, take note. This is a great look to copy. Add a splash of color and keep warm like Katie Holmes did here and watch every eye follow you wherever you go.

Do you like Amanda’s look? How about Katie’s? What do you think of white in winter? Would you wear it?

Here were a couple of CG’s choices, but feel free to add your own (with links to pix, if you dig).

OC Cutie, Adam Brody

Mega-sexy LA Sportsperson of the Year, David Beckham

Uber-Charmer, Usher

Me? I know it’s an odd choice because he’s not a traditional heartthrob, but there is just something so innocently hot about Entourage’s Adrian Grenier. I swear I’d eat a entire can of lima beans for a date with that guy. Rowr!

Your turn. Who’s your dream lovah? Enquiring minds want to know!

Jamie Lynn Spears in OK! Magazine

I’ve debated and debated whether or not to bring this up over here, since I like to keep things light and beautiful and stylish. But I just couldn’t ignore one of the hottest stories out there, especially since the subject of this story is a teen.

So I’m asking you guys: What is your view on Jamie Lynn Spears? How do you feel about her pregnancy and, at only 16, her choice to keep and raise the baby? Do you think other teens will learn from J.L.’s experiences, or do you think it might give girls the false idea that pregnancy is no big whoop and that maybe it’s even glamorous?

I’d love to hear what you think….

A great concealer is an absolute essential in any girl’s makeup bag. I mean, who can predict when a zit will decide to burst forth just in time for that big night out or the day before the family picture? No matter how fantastic your skin is, there will come a time when you find yourself reaching for a little extra coverage. When that happens, only the best will do.

For years I’ve been using Mary Kay’s MK Signature Concealer, but being a product junkie at heart, I’m always willing to try something new. So when I read that the gorgeous Jessica Alba uses a (gasp!) drugstore concealer, I said “Sign me up!”

So what’s Jessica’s favorite potion? It’s Revlon’s ColorStay Blemish Concealer which Jess says comes in great colors and stays on all day. And at only $10 a tube (or $8.99 at drugstore.com), I’m happy to give it a whirl.

Anyone else use this concealer? Or is there something else out there that you totally adore? Let me know…
