We’ve seen Lindsay Lohan with dark hair before — and blonde and red! — but we still couldn’t help but take a closer look when she stepped out yesterday in Los Angeles with mysterious new dark hair (we’re guessing it’s a wig!). The shoulder-length cut, the sideswept bangs and the dark color add up to a style we just haven’t seen Lindsay try out before. Is it a look worth making permanent? We want to know what you think! Tell us: Do you like the shorter, darker hair on Lindsay? Or should she stick with the long blonde hair?

All eyes are on Katie Holmes this week as she promotes her new comedy Mad Money. The stylish star stayed warm in New York while hitting the talk show circuit by wrapping up in some fabulous coats. In one day, Katie went from a long camel hair Giambattista Valli wrap coat for a morning appearance on Good Morning America to a mini bright Fay peacoat that showed off her killer legs for an evening slot on The Late Show with David Letterman. Though we don’t have Katie’s budget to spend on outerwear, we can still get her look — for a lot less!
