What’s Your Halloween Costume This Year?

No, Paris Hilton hasn’t really become a Beverly Hills Cop. Apparently not holding a grudge for her DUI arrest earlier this year, the heiress picked policewoman as her scantily clad costume of choice for a Halloween party over the weekend. We know that Lindsay Lohan loves the 80′s for her costume; while other folks are dressing up as celebs for night of trick or treating.

Now it’s your turn. Tell us: what’s your Halloween costume this year? What will you be dressing up as?

Would You Wear This? Gray Sweater Dresses

What’s a better bang for your shopping buck than a multi-functional piece of clothing? Besides being totally comfy, the best part of these tunic-style dresses is that they can be worn so many different ways. Pair them with tights and slick boots, like Sandra Bullock (left), or wear them over leggings or skinny jeans. Try them with a camisole, a turtleneck or nothing underneath. Accessorize with boots, necklaces, belts, or keep it totally simple. One word of caution: If you wear it with a belt, put it on your waist, not your hips (Sorry Sandy!). Click through to see some of our favorite gray sweater dresses.

Costume or Fashion? Lindsay Lohan Goes 80′s, Again!

Lindsay really does love the 80′s! As if her Motley Crue t-shirts and Axl Rose-style head scarves weren’t enough, she went out Saturday for a night on the town in L.A. dressed in her best head-to-toe spandex and leg-warmers. While we would have paired the look with sneakers, not glittering high heeleed sandals, we do give Lindsay kudos for coming remarkably close to Olivia Newton-John at her Physical finest (the pink sweatband as garter is genius). We know that this is most likely an early Halloween costume, but with Lindsay and her love of the Me Decade (she’s even been wearing stirrup pants!), you can never be too sure. Tell us: are you ready to bring the 80′s back like Lindsay? Or is it better left as a costume?

Diane von Furstenberg has wrapped women in her sexy wrap dresses for years. Now, thanks to T-Mobile, she’ll be giving women everywhere a fashionable way to text, email and call their girlfriends. Hot pink and adorned with kisses, it’s equipped with a camera to take pictures at the club, an mp3 player for rocking out on the run, and the internet. Nicole Richie, Lindsay Lohan, and Mischa Barton have already snagged the DVF Sidekick– and attended its star-studded launch party. Buy yours at t-mobile.com. — Amy Keith

Has Hilary Duff Gone Goth?

Was Hilary inspired by all the other Hollywood brunettes (Lindsay, Cameron, J.Lo), or by punk rocker boyfriend Joel Madden? Or is it for a new role? The formerly blonde star darkened her locks to a deep auburn earlier this year, but turned up at the Carousel of Hope Ball this weekend with dark, almost-black hair. While it’s a little disconcerting to see Lizzie McGuire go goth, we think the dark color really brings out Hilary’s hazel eyes and porcelain skin. Tell us: what do you think of Hilary’s new look? Love the dramatic dark color or miss the light look?

New hair can totally change a look! Check out more star transformations by clicking here to see our Makeovers Gallery.

What Do You Think of Whitney’s New Look?

Who doesn’t love the classic comeback story of a major talent rediscovering the path to success after a few mis-steps (like Mariah Carey)? We were thrilled to see Whitney Houston out and on the arm of legendary music mogul and star-maker Clive Davis at the Carousel of Hope ball this weekend. From the caramel blonde bob to her glowing skin and sparkling style to her stunning black Armani gown, we don’t remember the last time we saw Whitney looking so divine (diva does mean goddess, after all). We have high hopes for the new Whitney and dare we say it, a hot new album? Tell us: what do you think of the new Whitney?

Shopping Alert: Behnaz Sarafpour for Target

I have spent years lusting after Behnaz Sarafpour’s beautiful and elegant designs on Michelle Williams, Mandy Moore, and Amanda Peet. And I have also spent a good amount of time shopping the limited edition designer collections at Target, like Rafe and Paul & Joe. So, I am over the moon about Sarafpour’s new collection, officially debuting Nov. 1 (select pieces are already online). Who wouldn’t want her chic lace minidress (left), or her perfect-for-holiday-parties silk shell (right,) $25? And the accessories are fantastic too- don’t miss her too-cute NYC charm bracelet, $13, and brocade clutch, $17. My shopping cart runneth over! Rachel Bilson and Claire Danes have already snapped up the collection- what are you waiting for? — Melissa Liebling-Goldberg
