From the red carpet to the street, we can’t get enough of Vanessa Hudgens’s style. Recently, Vanessa gave us the secret to her chic looks by telling us some of her favorite fashion and beauty items.

–To keep her complexion flawless, Vanessa swears byNeutrogena SPF 70 sunscreen. “I’m worried about getting wrinkles so I’ve got to protect my face.”

–Not one for more face make-up, she keeps it simple with Chanel and Stila lipglosses — but nothing too heavy. “Usually I like light colors like light pink and light peaches and neutral beiges because I love eyeliner.” Her eyeliner of choice? Chanel liquid liner eye pencil. “I love doing a smaller version of the Amy Winehouse, not that much, but like Angelina Jolie.”

–Vanessa’s favorite thing hanging in her closet is an Alice + Olivia minidress (Hayden Panettiere has the same one). “It’s a little more exciting than the little black dress. Plus I can eat anything in that dress!” With her collection of party dresses comes her shoe obsession. “I have 3 good sized closets full of shoes! They’re so full I had to take some out and put some shoes in the garage!” Among her favorites are Christian Louboutins and black Dolce Vita sandals with a gold chain across the foot.

–Though the young star’s taste in shoes may be expensive, her favorite shop is Urban Outfitters (Cameron Diaz likes to shop there too!). “I buy everything at Urban. I get jewelry and everything there. I love it because it’s funky and affordable.” Now that’s what we like to hear!

Demi Moore has been a fixture in the front row throughout Fashion Week, and Tuesday night was no different. The star showed up –without husband Ashton Kutcher — on the arm of Charlie’s Angels co-star Lucy Liu for the Zac Posen show. The stylish duo joined Bette Midler, Martha Stewart, Serena Williams, P.Diddy (and of course StyleWatch!) to see the designer’s new Spring 2008 collection. Demi sat right across the runway from us, as riveted as we were by the gorgeous gowns and fabulous mini skirts on the runway, we couldn’t take our eyes off of Demi’s brand new Zac Posen clutch. It wasn’t the fire engine red that caught our eye, but the oddly enlongated rectangular shape of the bag. It seemed a bit difficult to grasp, much less hold anything of use in it. We loved what was on Zac’s runway, but we aren’t so sure about Demi’s bag. Tell us: Would you wear Demi’s Zac Posen Virginia Atache Case?

It was “out of necessity” that actress Alyssa Milano created Touch, her exclusive line of women’s Major League Baseball attire. “I got very tired of going into stadium shops and not finding anything cute and fashionable that fit my body and that wasn’t pink,” says Milano, an avid baseball fan (she writes the Touch ‘Em All blog on mlb.com and was just named a post-season correspondent for the TBS Hot Corner, the baseball broadband channel on mlb.com). Next year her line will expand to include girls fashions and headwear, but right now Milano is prepping for the post-season. So what does beauty on the baseball field mean? Here are Milano’s fangirl musts:

1. Sunscreen: “I use sunscreen by Corrective Skin Care. It’s a company out of Utah and I love their products because they are all natural.”

2. Makeup: “I use Sheer Cover, a mineral makeup with sunscreen in it. It doesn’t clog your pores and you can sweat in it and it still stays in place.”

3. Lip balm: “Chap Stick at the games. If I show up in lip gloss it’s soon gone because of all the nachos I eat.”

4. Comfy shoes: “I wear either Converse low-tops or something comfortable that I can get around the stadium in.”

5. A hat. “I always wear hats to day games. I wear the franchise cap.”

With nerves of steel prior to the start of her fashion show, Jennifer Lopez presented her third runway collection Tuesday night with the debut of her Just Sweet line. “I’m excited!” Lopez told PEOPLE before the show. “I feel like it’s calm backstage because I’m calm. If I were going crazy they’d be crazy.” The crowd, however, did go crazy for the flirty Just Sweet dresses, tops and wide-leg jeans. “A lot of work went into this and I’m really happy with it. It’s a beautiful, bright, young, fun collection. Our whole inspiration was a new age fairytale and I think we accomplished that look and made it modern and real.” And affordable! “Everything on the runway will be between $49-99. It’s a great label but you’re getting real fashion on a runway for that much.” Sweet, indeed!
