Given the flurry of consistently impeccable ensembles she wore during the Hancock premieres, it's strange to see Charlize in anything but a glamorous designer gown. Even so, she still looks effortlessly stylish in this simple dress-and-sweater combo, which she wore to lunch in West Hollywood just the other day. Come to think of it: With a body like hers, anything (or hardly anything!) looks fabulous—click here to see what we mean.

Growing up, Hairspray star Brittany Snow had her own way of making sure her 'do was a big sensation.
"I'm from Florida, and we had a very preppy thing going on. So, I would always wear ribbons," the actress told mystyle at the Do Something Awards (the pre-party to the Teen Choice Awards). "If you didn't wear a ribbon, you were not cool in my high school. I had a whole basket of different colored ribbons to match my polo shirts."
Today, Brittany prefers to mix and match. "My style is more relaxed. I don't spend too much money on clothes because I always buy vintage stuff." Her style icon? Why, the queen of boho chic, Kate Hudson, of course! "You can tell that she's very comfortable in what she wears."
Brittany's low-maintenance vibe is further evidenced by her favorite tip: "When you have a really small bag, all you need to have in it is lipstick in a red or brown color because you can also use on your cheeks and your eyes."

Know what doesn’t go with pink and charcoal? Orange. And yet Hollywood’s favorite nurse, Katherine Heigl, has chosen to accessorize this Diane von Furstenberg dress with the offending hue, swimming in burnt umber from head to toe—literally. When they kill the lights, does her skin still glow? At least she looks relaxed; she must have just gotten back from a long vacation. At Sunset Tan.
Tell us what you think of Katherine's look in mystyle's Fashion DUI gallery now!

Is there a trick to layering necklaces? How do you know which pieces go together? Also, would it be too much to rock layered necklaces and a printed top or dress?
—Natalie A., New York
There is a handy trick to layering necklaces, I have learned. It's easy to remember, and even easier to apply: One long, a few short. But I'll let E! stylist Adriana Gallarzo tell it.

While we love tinted moisturizing lipgloss, even the best can't stand up to surf and sun. Besides rubbing off, they stick to wind-blown hair. A lip stain is a far better option for hitting the beach. Our favorite? Stila's Cherry Crush. One coat makes you look like you just ate watermelon; two coats give you that red popsicle color; and with three (or more!), you can deepen your lips into a sexy red pout. Before applying, be sure you exfoliate—we just brush them with our toothbrush—and use your favorite SPF lip balm after staining to moisturize.

Remember those birthday cakes designed to look like frilly pink dresses with real Barbie dolls sticking out the center? Apparently, Paula never got one—and she never got over it. Mommies, remember: A dream deferred is a deep psychological scar that will manifest later as an atrocious fashion disaster.

My husband and I bought a 100-year-old Brazilian dark-wood farmhouse table (it matches our floors), but we do not know what chairs would look best with it. And what would you suggest for a window treatment? The cabinets are cream, the appliances are black, the granite countertops are gold, and the tile backsplash is gold with accents of lavender and opaque white.

We're all about instant gratification but hate how bronzing lotions rub off on our clothes. So we set out to find the best sunless tanners that deliver a bronzed glow after just one application. Weeks of orange palms, streaky legs and stained bed sheets later, we narrowed it down to our two faves...

Emmy Rossum has become one of our favorite red carpet darlings for the simple fact that she always dresses like a young lady. At the PiNKiTUDE and Susan G. Komen for the Cure Benefit, the classic beauty did not disappoint. Her tiered Carmen Marc Valvo was absolutely gorgeous.
