Hollywood’s fashion elite, including Jessica Biel, Jessica Alba and Ginnifer Goodwin, flocked to the Prada Book Launch at the Prada Rodeo Drive boutique, which was transformed into a library in celebration of the 708 page book which highlights Prada fashion collections and architectural collaborations throughout the decades. But while the theme of the night may have been reading, it was all about lavishing praise on designer Miuccia Prada for all assembled in their Prada and Miu Miu finest. “I almost wore this dress to the Emmys,” Goodwin exclaimed of her gorgeous white ’50s-inspired ensemble, “I have been wanting desperately to wear it and show it off!” Newly blonde, Miu Miu-clad Emma Roberts added, “I love Prada. I think every piece in their collection never fails to disappoint. It’s always really unique and Miu Miu does the same.” Inside the party, a Prada LBD-clad Biel flipped through the tome, showing off her favorite images to friends while Alba sipped on the event’s signature cocktail and gushed about the designer. When asked what she loved about Prada, super-stylist Rachel Zoe said it best, “What don’t I love about Prada? Seriously Miuccia is a genius. Everybody wants a piece of Prada!” See images from (and buy!) the book yourself at Prada.com. –Michelle Ward

Do Blondes Have More Fun? Emma Roberts is Trying to Find Out!

Tony DiMaio/Startraks

Emma Roberts hit the The Prada Book launch on Friday in Beverly Hills with brand new sexy blonde hair color, and the Hotel for Dogs star talked to PEOPLE about whether she thinks the old cliché rings true. “I don’t think I need to be having any more fun these days!” she joked. But that doesn’t mean the actress won’t be testing out the theory. “I leave for New York in a few days and I think, what better than to show off my new hair than in New York to see if, you know, blondes do have more fun!” So why the sudden change? Emma explains that in addition to just wanting to “change it up,” the new look is also helping her to get into character for her newest film, It’s Kind Of A Funny Story. “I start shooting in New York next week and I wanted to do something different,” she explains. “I play a girl in mental institute that cut her face up with scissors. So I thought my face is going to be cut up I may as well have beautiful hair!” Tell us: What do like Emma better as a blonde or a brunette?–Kristin Larson

Angelina Jolie And Brad Pitt’s New Role: Jewelry Designers

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt have put their creative minds to something new — elegant serpent-themed jewelry! The power couple has teamed with a top British jeweler Asprey to come up with a series of designs for everything from earrings, pendants, bangles, rings to a silver spoon and egg cup. And, like so much of their life away from the cameras, the collection will benefit others. All the net proceeds will go to the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict, to which the couple has already donated $1 million via the Jolie-Pitt Foundation in June 2008. For Jolie, 34, the inspiration for the collection was an obvious one. While she was expecting Shiloh in 2006, she was given a special gift — a protective snake ring. It was seen as a protector for mother and unborn child, and Jolie has come to view the motif as something of a family guardian. “Since then she has seen the snake symbol as a protective talisman for her family,” a source at Asprey tells PEOPLE. The series started out as something for children — 16-month-old Vivienne has already been photographed wearing bangles with the snake motifs– but has developed into the limited edition “Protector Collection” of high end jewelry and other luxuries, which does still include children’s items like a tooth box and silver egg cup. The collection becomes available tomorrow, November 17. –Simon Perry

Would You Wear a Sheer Skirt Like Kristen Stewart?

Fame

Forget Bella’s adolescent wardrobe — Kristen Stewart is going for full-out fashionista while promoting New Moon in Europe. We’ve already seen her in neon Proenza Schouler in London and leather Elizabeth & James, but we had to take a double look at her Balenciaga outfit in Madrid. While her top may give the illusion of bare skin, her skirt actually does have a see-through panel, revealing a little bit more of Kristen than we’ve seen before! And while peekaboo clothing has been turning up on everyone from Leighton Meester to Lady Gaga, this look still got us thinking. Would you dare to bare your underwear like Kristen? Vote now!

Kate Moss on Her Famous Face: “I’m Not Traditionally a Beauty”

Bill Davila/Startraks

Kate Moss might have built a multi-million dollar career on her looks, but, she says, her appeal is more than skin deep. “It sounds really corny, but I think that if you’re beautiful inside, it shows on the outside for sure,” she tells WWD in an interview timed with the European launch of her fourth fragrance, Vintage. “You can be a pretty face, but if you’re not a nice person it just doesn’t work. I’m not traditionally a beauty, but apparently people think I’m all right.” And of course, there is always the personality factor. Kate elaborates, “If you’re a nice person, it definitely helps.” This doesn’t, however, mean that the original waif would let herself go. Her motto for keeping her figure in check? “Nothing tastes as good as skinny feels,” she says before adding, “You try and remember, but it never works.” Read the full interview at WWD.com.

Lady Gaga on Her Style: “I’ve Always Been an Outspoken and Extreme Dresser”

Annie Leibovitz/Vogue

Vogue‘s December issue is getting bewitched– literally– by fierce style star Lady Gaga. Starring in a Hansel and Gretel-inspired spread, shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, Lady Gaga channels her naughtier side to play a witch, dressed by her pal Marc Jacobs. The pop sensation tells the magazine, “I’ve always been an outspoken and extreme dresser.” And while her ruffled bloomer shorts and insanely high heels for the Vogue spread were nothing out of the ordinary for Gaga, Vogue staffers were intrigued by what the star wore to visit their office before the shoot! Lady Gaga reportedly showed up to 4 Times Square first wearing a trailing white chiffon Galliano goddess gown with a Philip Treacy headdress that spelled VOGUE in clipped white feathers, only to turn up the next day in a little black dress and flaming-red wig. And if that wasn’t outrageous enough, the singer arrived for the actual shoot “stark naked except for her white rubber raincoat and some very, very high heels!” recounts Vogue Creative Director Grace Coddington. So where does she get her crazy fashion from? Her art director, Matthew Williams–”my Jean-Paul Goude”–was “the inspiration that made the connection for me between the art world and the fashion world,” Lady Gaga tells Vogue. “He used to say things like ‘If you want to make a shoulder pad, don’t research jackets—research sculpture, mineral rocks, paintings.’ He thinks in a different way; he is the designer of the future.” Check out the rest of Lady Gaga’s spread and hear more from the pop star at in Vogue‘s December Issue, on newsstands November 24, or at Vogue.com.
