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. Vote for whose look you liked better in our poll below!

Will You Buy Gwyneth Paltrow’s Spring Fashion Must-Haves?

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. “Forget what everyone told you about mixing prints – more is more this spring!” Pairing printed dresses and basics with high fashion toppers has never been easier according to Gwyneth, who writes “classic military shapes and colors were made totally wearable this season, and the key is all in the details. Balmain showed us how to make blazers sexy with slick, skinny leather pants and shredded T’s.” Click over to GOOP.com to see Gwyneth model her spring picks and then shop her favorites.

Naomi Watts Revisits Her Childhood at Liberty of London for Target Launch

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. I think these things are very edgy and cool,” says Naomi, who sported a $25 peacock print tunic from the new line to the event. But, the one thing that the star is really loving about Target’s latest guest designer’s collection is the price! “I didn’t grow up earning the money I earn now,” admits Naomi. “But this is what’s so great about this! That merging with a place like Target makes it so accessible for everyone. It’s so affordable and I’ve been going nuts.” While at the event, Naomi stocked up on houseware, including decorative boxes, cups and plates—and little girls’ clothes! “I haven’t seen the little boys section yet. But the little girls section—I’ve got a niece who’s 9-10 months now and I’ve bought all sorts of dresses for her,” says Naomi, who has two sons of her own. Liberty of London’s collection will hit Target stores and target.com on Sunday, March 14. Hear more from Naomi at celebrity-babies.com.

SATC Hunk Jason Lewis Admits To Sleeping in the Buff

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. And he wasn’t too shy about saying what he likes a woman to wear in bed either. “There really shouldn’t be anything between the two of you,” he says. “Otherwise, you might as well just get two twin beds!” We think Samantha would approve of that! Speaking of Cattrall’s sexy alter-ego, Lewis recently traveled to Morocco with Kim and the rest of the SATC cast to shoot scenes for the upcoming sequel, opening in theaters May 28. Despite arriving early to surf, Lewis was slowed down by a case of food poisoning. “They (the girls) were more adventurous than I was,” he says. “I wanted to get to bed and they wanted to go shopping!” Check out the Charisma bedding collection on Bloomingdales.com. –Karen Werling

WATCH: Alexander McQueen’s Final Collection Presented in Paris

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. It showed Lee’s unique talent to create pieces of beauty that touch many of your senses, leaving one enriched,” Robert Polet, president and chief executive officer of Gucci Group, told WWD. Check out photos of Alexander McQueen’s final collection at InStyle.com, and watch this video, courtesy of Fashionista.com, of the show’s pieces in the late designer’s showroom.

Kate Gosselin’s Hair Switch-Up: Short Today, But Long Tomorrow?

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. But, she’ll go long again soon enough with another set of extensions for DWTS — nothing looks better during a sexy samba than long, flowing locks. Find out about Kate’s views on winning DWTS and more about her new life in this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on newsstands now. Tell us: Do you prefer Kate with a short bob or her longer extentions?–Blane Bachelor

Amy Winehouse Focuses on Fashion with New Line for Fred Perry

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. Receiving the Winehouse touch are everything from the firm’s well-known the twin-tipped M12 polo shirt, the Harrington jacket, and the jumper dress. Capri pants get a “punk-inspired edge,” a statement from the firm Thursday said. “It’s Amy all over [DASH] sharp, clever, sexy, lots of attitude [DASH] but stays true to the Perry aesthetic and unrivalled heritage. and still remain instantly recognisable.” “I’m really excited,” Winehouse, who is working on her third album, said Thursday. “We’ve been working on it for a while and it’s great to see it finally come to fruition.” And the company’s managing director John Flynn added, “We have had a great relationship with her over the years as she has been a loyal fan and supporter. Amy’s sense of style and attitude to music and fashion pervades through this collaboration. We hope her fans and our fans will feel the same way.” – Simon Perry
