Kristen Stewart Rocks Extra-Long Extensions: Love Them Or Hate Them?

Han Myung-Gu/WireImage

When Kristen Stewart sauntered onto the red carpet in Seoul, South Korea earlier today to promoteThe Twilight Saga: Eclipse, it wasn’t just her runway-ready sheath that left style fans gasping. Seemingly overnight, Kristen had added supermodel-glam inches to her chestnut hair, which she pulled back into a sleek ponytail. The 20-year-old is no stranger to switching up her look every now and then–who could forget the shag that she sported to film The Runaways? This newest transformation, however, proves that the actress can pull off high fashion just as well as downtown grunge. Tell us: Should Kristen Stewart stick with longer, high-glamour hair or go back to her rock ‘n’ roll roots?–David Yi

The Blonds’ Ambition: The Design Duo on Dressing Katy Perry and their Dream Client

Chris Pizzello/AP; Everett

Phillip and David Blond of The Blonds have been creating blinged-out designs for starlets like Katy Perry, Fergie, Britney Spears and Christina Aguilera since 2008, but there is still one star they haven’t gotten their glittery hands on–Betty White! “I would make something for her in a minute, no questions asked,” gushes David Blond to Onsugar’s fashionfunhouseemporium blog. “I don’t think she’d be able to handle one of our metal corsets, but I’m sure we could cinch her a little bit and pull off a Marlene Dietrich look if she wanted it…or a Pavé pantsuit, and since its Betty White, we’d make it all white.” And while Betty’s people have yet to reach out to them, the designers are hard at work with Katy Perry on her new summer album, Teenage Dream, due out in August. “The theme is kind of this candy, roller skating, fun in the California sun vibe,” says David. So how does the design team interpret Katy’s vision? “We listen to her, we do sketches, work with the stylist. Then it’s always the artist that brings the garment alive,” says David about the collaboration process. Read more from David’s interview with OnSugar at fashionfunhouseemporium.com. –Andrea DeSimone

WATCH: Snooki Still Wants To ‘Look Like A Guidette’ at the MTV Movie Awards

Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi has shown that she can clean up nicely, but the pouf-haired Jersey Shore star still wants to keep it real when she conducts live pre-show red carpet interviews as a guest correspondent for the MTV Movie Awards on June 6. “I have no idea what I’m going to wear. I’m stressing about it,” admits the reality star in this MTV.com video clip. “You know, I still want to look like a guidette, but I wanna look good for red carpet.” As someone best known for her gravity-defying hair, creative accessorizing, and affection for Ed Hardy, that still means anything goes. MTV is trying on dresses with Snooki today, and we can’t wait to see the results. But the burning question remains: Will the feisty 22-year-old’s infamous hair bump–which is conspicuously absent in this clip–make an appearance on the red carpet?

Justin Bieber’s Next Career Move: Hairstylist?

MAXA/Landov

When you’re Justin Bieber’s personal groomer, there are bound to be a few fringe benefits–including, it seems, free trims from the singer himself! “He always wants to try and cut my hair,” his hairstylist Vanessa Price tells PEOPLE. “He actually trimmed my bangs! He’s going to be an amazing hair stylist once his career is over,” she jokes of his surprising skill with the scissors. And while Justin has already revealed just how easy his morning hair routine is, Price, who met the star onset of the “My World” video last year, confirms how simple it is to get Justin’s hair into that swooned-over look. “He’s got beautiful gorgeous skin, gorgeous hair that knows exactly where it wants to go. On a given day [it's] five minutes and out–very easy,” she says. The secret to the look? “It’s all about texturizing layers. We just use nice shampoo and conditioner,” says Price, who prefers Bumble & Bumble Creme de Coco Shampoo and Conditioner. Step two is all about blow-drying with a purpose. “We brush it forward. We kind of tell it where to go…I like using my fingers to get a little piece-y at the ends.” And for the final piece of the puzzle, Price admits to observing one never-fail hair trick for wooing the ladies. “A little bit of the hair flick, [is] definitely, definitely used for flirting–not just him, but boys in general, I’ve noticed.” –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

Milla Jovovich Has ‘No Regrets’ About Her Fashion History

When you’re a fashion risk-taker like Milla Jovovich, cringing at your own style don’ts is practically an occupational hazard. “When I think back, I’ve pulled off some pretty funny looks,” says the 34-year-old model-actress in the July issue of Lucky, specifically referring to a red fringed floor-length dress from nine years ago. “I remember dancing all night in this when I was 25, thinking I was the coolest person in the world. It’s a hilarious dress, but no regrets.” These days, the mom to two-and-a-half-year-old Ever dresses with toddler-chasing in mind. “I’m a heels person, but I definitely tone it down now—with my daughter, I have to be ready for anything!” explains the one-time clothing designer, who says of her former label Jovovich Hawk, “When I had my own line, it was character-driven clothing. All of the pieces I like are classic: They looked great 20 or 30 years ago and they’ll look great in 20 or 30 years too.” With that in mind, the beauty and current face of Ann Taylor doesn’t discriminate when it comes to shopping, finding long-term keepers even in fast-fashion chains. “I tend to find little things at stores like Zara that I’m going to wear in the moment, and forget about, and then find again,” she says, admitting that she never throws anything away.

Jessica Biel has been known to change up her look on occasion, but the 28-year-old actress proves herself a true style chameleon–modeling five different looks devised by Hollywood hairstylist and pal Mark Townsend–for the debut “issue” today of his new online magazine, MARKT Beauty. Townsend, who has perfected the tresses of A-listers like Ashley Olsen, Reese Witherspoon and Amy Adams, enlisted Biel as MARKT Beauty’s first cover model, putting the A-Team actress in the skilled hands of his hair and makeup team, who transformed the star from a ’60s-ish bohemian babe–done up with aquamarine eyeshadow and matching cocktail ring and bangles–to an Edie Sedgwick-inspired siren, accessorized with a short shaggy blonde wig and black patterned stockings. Along with the stunning images, the monthly website will offer product reviews, beauty tips, hair and makeup how-tos, as well as a blog by Townsend. Next up for the site? Behind-the-scenes videos of other celebrities modeling looks cooked up by Townsend and his friends. To see all of Jessica’s looks, visit marktbeauty.com. –David Yi
