BAUER-GRIFFIN

Though we’ve seen lots of stars go dark for roles in the past few months — Jessica Biel and Mischa Barton pop to mind — we had to look twice when Sienna Miller appeared with long brunette hair on the set of her new film Hippie Hippie Shake. She was almost unrecognizable with her wig on! We definitely prefer the British star with her normal blonde bob that highlights her big blue eyes and unique fashion sense, but we want to know what you think. Tell us: Do you like Sienna with brunette hair? Or should she stick to blonde off camera?

British designer Alice Temperley, known for her intricate detailing and beautiful prints, has joined the ranks of other high-end designers like Paul & Joe, Proenza Schouler and Behnaz Sarafpour to create a collection of sportswear and accessories for Target’s Go! International program. Boasting lots of ruffles and bows, the pieces are feminine with a little edge. We love the Cotton Voile Ruffle Top, $25, which would go perfectly with the Crepe Wide Leg pants, $40. And the Striped Wide Belt, $15 is so on trend. Although her pricier line has loads of celeb fans like Gwyneth Paltrow, Charlize Theron, Kiera Knightley, Julia Roberts, and more, stars love her Target line too. Mandy Moore has already scooped up the Long-Stitch Cardigan, $45, in grey which will be available online next week. Click here to see the whole collection.

We love Rachel Bilson’s effortlessly chic style, so we were hanging on every word when the petite star recently told PEOPLE about her favorite fashion finds. The key to her style? Rachel tells PEOPLE that “Accessories can make or break an outfit. You can have a white t-shirt and jeans on and a really cool, chunky necklace and it makes it that much cooler.” And she depends on something not-so trendy for that perfect touch. “My grandmother’s necklace that is my go-to accessory. It’s a beautiful gold charm necklace.” Rachel knows the perils of finding something to fit right, which is why she depends on shoes from Lanvin. “They make size five and I’m finding that more and more designers aren’t making size fives anymore and it’s really frustrating.” When the former O.C. girl finds something she likes, she sticks with it. Though she likes up-and-coming denim lines like Kova & T and Corpus Rachel lives in her vintage Levi’s. “I have a few pairs that I’ve had for years and years and I still always wear them. They’re classic.” Forget fancy beauty products, Rachel’s got an old-school fave. “I’m a big fan of Lip Smackers– Dr. Pepper is my favorite. It gives a really good color and it tastes really good, too.” Now that’s what we like to hear. Get your tube of lip smacker’s Dr. Pepper at drugstore.com
