– HAYDEN PANETTIERE, treating herself to a belated birthday gift at Alice + Olivia in Los Angeles. The 18-year-old Heroes star was picking up a pair of high-waisted, wide-leg pants that she had previously ordered.

– MARIA SHARAPOVA, loading up on clothing at S2 Santa Monica where the tennis star bought a sweater (for her father, aww!) and a pair of gold Initium “All In” sunglasses for herself. Sharapova also picked up a Brixton hat.

– Before her return to Los Angeles, NICOLE RICHIE visited bluemercury in Georgetown while on the road with her rocker beau JOEL MADDEN. Wearing her signature oversized shades, Richie was very sweet to employees during her visit. She left the store with a Kiehl’s Ultra Facial Moisturizer SPF 15.

– MINNIE DRIVER, acting eco-friendly while shopping in Portland, Ore. at Sameunderneath’s new boutique. While in the store — which sports all sustainable fashions — Driver picked up a short sleeve scooped-neck T-shirt in garnet (fashioned from bamboo and spandex).

– EVA LONGORIA, loading up on goodies at French jeweler Gas Bijoux in Los Angeles with her mother-in-law. In the store, the Desperate Housewives star snapped up a CUORE gold bracelet, LOVE gold necklace, REINE earrings and NEIGE gold earrings (the store’s most popular item). Not bad!

The High School Musical 2 star (and PEOPLE cover girl) is already proving herself to be the next young fashionista to watch. From her easy casual looks to her glam red carpet dresses, we can’t wait to see what she will put on next.

The A/X dress even fits more easily into our budget than some of Vanessa’s other street wear.
