New guy, new movie, new look — Kirsten Dunst has ditched the long locks that she has been sporting recently for a newly layered shoulder-length do. Celebrity fave cutter Chris McMillan, who will be responsible for the actress’s do’s while promoting her upcoming Spiderman 3, chopped Kirsten’s pale blond hair into the bob with light bangs just in time for her whirlwind press junkets. Tell us: What do you think of Kirsten’s new cut? Love it or hate it?

Between performances, the two got a chance to hit Byron Beach, where Jess showed off an adorable red dress. We are loving her new hippie chic style — could it be the influence of her laid-back guy? This red and white pocket jumper is actually an old vintage piece, but we have found some very similar ones that will be perfect additions to your spring wardrobe. Now only if a rockstar boyfriend come along with it.

Every bride looks like a princess on her wedding day. But her bridesmaids? Well, that’s another story, thanks to the taffeta and ruffle-loaded creations they have to wear. Well, if you were forced into a poufy blue satin getup (like Jennifer from Canada, left) or pressured into a Pepto-Bismol-pink pinafore, now’s your chance to get even. Submit pictures of that scary bridesmaid dress to PEOPLE.com’s brand-new Ugly Bridesmaid Dress Blog! (Don’t worry: You’ll be able to crop out your head.) Take that, Bridezillas!

Move over, Gwen. The ever-stylish Penelope Cruz has just added herself to the list of multi-talented stars who are trying their hands at designing clothing. Along with look-a-like sister (and fellow actress) Monica Cruz, the beautiful duo are designing a line for Spanish powerhouse MANGO (think H&M) — they will also be the face of the brand, so you can look forward to seeing their ads break in the fall. The line will feature 25 pieces, which are a mix of clothing and accessories. While the Cruz line won’t be on sale for a few months, you can shop the current MANGO collection on their website, mangoshop.com. Tell us: Will you wear clothes by Penelope?

Not so fast, Dior! MAC has got a spray foundation that I swear by — and it’s only $28.50 (as opposed to Dior’s $60 version)! I also hate the caked on feeling of most powder foundations, but what frustrates even more is being addicted to expensive beauty products! MAC Studio Mist Foundation, however, is a perfect beauty bag ‘look for less’ item. What I love most is the subtle hint of shimmer, giving my cocoa skin a little bronze highlight. And if you really want a steal or to test out the technology without breaking the bank (or a sweat), check out this Sally Hansen version for $8 at drugstore.com. — Amy Keith

We’re always in awe of Halle’s sexy style, and her recent red carpet ensembles while promoting her new movie A Perfect Stranger have all been white hot. But it was this combo of a deep V-neck copper top by Roberto Cavalli that jump-started our search for our own. Boudoir looks outside of the bedroom can be tricky to pull off, but pairing a lacey satin top with a solid-colored, tailored bottom is a great way to keep it classy. Just look at Isla Fisher’s combo of Dolce & Gabbana satin babydoll cami and black jeans — perfect for a night out! Although we’d love to wear the luxe versions these lovely ladies rocked recently, we found a couple of camis that will fit the bill for less. Try this Leigh Bantivoglio silk “Stella French” camisole, currently on sale for $99 at barenecessities.com or this Victoria’s Secret sequined top for $38 at victoriassecret.com. Now that we have our tops, we’re going to master their perfectly tossed bedroom hair.
