Gwen Stefani may be known for her trend-setting style, but she’s not alone in creating her flawless image. Last night, the star turned out to the “Stylist: Interpreters of Fashion” book party with her longtime team of hairstylist Danilo and stylist (and L.A.M.B. collaborator) Andrea Lieberman. Gwen gushed to PEOPLE “It’s beyond work.They’re kind of like my best friends. We play house together all the time.” Echoing Gwen’s declaration of friendship, Andrea told PEOPLE, “She is not like most people at all. She is amazing. She’s a joy to be around, a dear friend. She is totally cute and unique.” So how do you dress a style icon? Andrea gives all the credit to Gwen, saying “I don’t think anyone can make her her. She is so 100% pure Gwen. I think one can elaborate and enrich it. . .but it’s always really fun.” And it’s always really fun for us to see what she comes up with next!

How to Take the “Oops” Out of Lip Plumping

Dexter Troy/Splash

Rumors have been swirling about Britney Spears‘s alledgedly puffier pout for the past few weeks, but if the popster had her lips plumped, she’d hardly be the first star to do it. Jessica Simpson had to wait four long months for her lip-job to de-swell — “It looked fake to me; I didn’t like that,” she admitted –Spears has an alternative to holding her hand in front of her mouth for the four to nine months fillers such as Restylane and Juverderm typically last: hyaluronidase, an injectable enzyme that reverses the puff within 24 hours. “It takes away the uh-oh factor,” says Calabasas cosmetic dermatologist Dr. Anna Guanche. “Get your lips, take them home, and if you don’t like them, bring them back.” One caveat: no refunds — and the fix runs about $200.

Would You Wear Ashley Tisdale’s High-Waisted Pants?

Michael Loccisano/FilmMagic

Ashley Tisdale tends to have her own trendy, rock ‘n’ roll style — whether it’s on the red carpet or the streets of Los Angeles — that really works for her. But our jaws dropped over her outfit on TRL yesterday — check out those pants! The multi-buttoned style covers her entire rib cage to the point of being empire waisted, and the length is cropped to reveal ankle boots. Wow. We thought her Early Show outfit was hard to pull off, but this one beats it for us. But we want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear Ashley Tisdale’s pants? Do you like them on her?

If you do like Ashley’s Miss Sixty “Abe One Piece” pants, $379, you can snag a pair at a Miss Sixty store near you. Call 212.575.0315 for more information.
