Hollywood’s Newest Design Stars: The Jonas Brothers

Amanda Schwab/Startraks

With a string of records and a blockbuster film in theaters, the Jonas Brothers might arguably be the planet’s most popular teen trio, but they’re not stopping at dominating the worlds of music and movies. This fall, the Disney stars are hoping for another hit with a new line of clothing for ‘tween girls. WWD reports that Kevin, Joe and Nick will expand the Jonas Brother franchise with a full line of sportswear through Disney Consumer Products at retailers like Kmart, Sears, JC Penney and Wal-Mart. The launch of the collection, called simply Jonas, will follow on the heels of the brothers’ upcoming TV show, which is slated to air in May. And the clothing itself will take inspiration from the preppy looks featured on the program, including argyle sweater vests emblazoned with the logo of the boys’ fictional high school, as well as leggings, jeans and plaid shorts. Tell us: What do you think of Kevin, Joe and Nick launching a clothing line? Will you buy their gear?

One of the easiest — and thriftiest — ways to shop this season is by remixing what you’ve already got! If you missed StyleWatch Contributing Editor Lori Bergamotto on the CBS Early Show this morning, we’ve got a few of her best celebrity-inspired tips. Her favorite way to mix dressy and casual? Take a cue from Joy Bryant and pair your favorite sparkling evening top with a skinny jean — or just add a bold necklace to a casual outfit and you’re set for a night on the town. Another fun and frugal way to change up your signature style is by playing with proportions. Wear your favorite minidress over jeans, or go bold with a long tunic by keeping legs bare!

Bye-Bye, Bob! Katie Holmes Goes Long Again — Love It or Hate It?

T-Link/Rex

Katie Holmes is no stranger to changing up her look, but for nearly a year the star has made shorter hair her signature style — from her banged bob to her pixie cut — and spawned a trend of stars and non-stars alike chopping off their locks. So we could hardly believe our eyes when we saw Katie hit the Valkyrie red carpet in Tokyo just hours ago with lush, full locks that look to be a full foot longer than the bob she’s recently favored. Only time will tell if this was a one-night look or if she’s back to long for a while, but we love that she never stops trying new styles! Tell us: Do you love Katie’s new longer hair? Or should she go back to a shorter look?

EXCLUSIVE FIRST LOOK: Lindsay Lohan’s Spray Tan Campaign

Courtesy Sevin Nyne

You might have to wait for the spring launch of Lindsay Lohan‘s much-anticipated spray tan line, but the actress is giving PEOPLE.com readers an exclusive sneak peek at one of Sevin Nyne’s sexiest campaign images. The star, who last year branched out from acting with a successful line of leggings, is known for her ever-present bronze glow, which she shows off to full effect in the ad. And the quest for a perfect fake bake is precisely what led her to create her own. “As much as I love the sun,” she says, “it is so bad for your skin. I have tried every product on the market and never found something that I loved.” Until, that is, she met spray tanner Lorit Simon. “She had an amazing tanning formula that over the years we continued to perfect,” Lindsay reveals of the partnership. “It was important to me to have a natural product that didn’t have a lot of dyes and chemicals. Our product has goji berry extract which has antioxidant properties, it has a natural golden color, it doesn’t streak and smells delicious — not like a typical tanning product.” The $35 spray will become available exclusively in Sephora stores on the first of May — with an early web launch on Sephora.com on April 15. Check out more of Lindsay talking about the line on her MySpace page later today. Tell us: What do you think of Lindsay’s sexy new ads? Will you try out Sevin Nyne when it lauches?
