Last year, we loved our Gap Design Editions white shirts from Thakoon and more, and we can’t wait until next month to see our favorite up-and-coming designers’ latest riffs on the classic white shirt. The second collection is an exclusive partnership with the CFDA/Vogue Fashion Fund winners — Band of Outsiders, 3.1 Phillip Lim, Michael Bastian, Philip Crangi and the designers of threeASFOUR. “Gap represents American iconic dressing and just to have the chance to design three white shirt and have my take on it was so fun,” says Lim, whose designs are donned by celebs like Natalie Portman and Lauren Conrad. Best of all, the pieces have expanded this year to include menswear and jewelry by Philip Crangi. All the limited-edition items are affordable, from $35 to $88, and hit select Gap stores on April 15th. So mark your calendars, and get ready to snatch up these chic classics before they’re fashion history.

You could never accuse Ashley Tisdale of not changing up her look. First the High School Musical 3 star updated her natural nose, and now she’s swapped her trademark honey-blonde locks for a lighter look. Ashley turned up at Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew last night, with back-up dancer boyfriend Jared Murillo in tow, debuting light blond locks streaked with platinum highlights. We think the style is perfect to welcome in spring, but we want to know what you think. Tell us: Do you like Ashley’s lighter color, or should she stick with a deeper hue?

Looks like Jessica Biel wasn’t crazy about her platinum blonde locks. After filming in London on the set of her new movie Easy Virtue, the actress returns stateside — and to her normally brunette shade — in a matter of days! We must admit that we are happy to see her natural color back. It’s a great fit for her laidback style. But we want to know what you think! Tell us: What do you think of Jessica Biel’s darker locks? Do you like this look better than the platinum blonde?
