If there’s one thing Rachel Bilson is well-versed in, it’s looking and feeling fabulous, and now the style-savvy actress is giving her fellow fashionistas a chance to as well. Bilson took a break from the front row during New York Fashion Week to announce Sunglass Hut’s Full Time Fabulous contest, which will allow one fashionable finalist the opportunity to land a year-long gig as a style blogger for SunglassHut.com. “I think it’s something that is really fun for people who are into fashion,” said Bilson, who serves as the brand’s style director. “They can write about it and explore and experience the world and share it with others who share the same passion. It would be a pretty cool job,” she told reporters at N.Y.C.’s Lincoln Center. The lucky winner, who has to submit a 60-second video explaining why they are the perfect candidate, will report on fashion happenings from New York to Paris—and if you think this is an unpaid internship, think again! From a $100,000 annual salary and a fully-furnished Manhattan apartment to a shopping allowance and free jet-setting expenses, rest assured your status will signify social media royalty. Make your submissions beginning this Friday, Oct. 1 to Oct. 27 at SunglassHut.com/Fabulous and outshine the competition with your impeccable style.

New Look Alert: Christina Aguilera Shows Off Her Sexy Curves

Over the years, Christina Aguilera‘s looks have changed as much as her chart-topping songs — who can forget those “Dirrty” chaps? — but the pop star managed to surprise even her most die-hard fans this weekend when she attended the opening of the new Resnick Pavilion at the Los Angeles County Museum of Art on Saturday, showing off new sexy curves in a blush Atelier Versace halter-gown. Accenting the goddess-like look with long curly hair and a heavy golden tan, Christina’s soft appearance marked a stark contrast to the svelte physique and all-black ensemble that she rocked in June when promoting her new Bionic album. And while the pop star certainly knows how to make a bold impression no matter the occasion, this is certainly the softer side for this Grammy winner. Tell us: What do you think of Christina’s new look? – Justine Harman

Christina Applegate will always be known for her on-screen humor and charm, but after beating breast cancer, the star has also tacked on charitable spokesperson and co-designer to her resume! In honor of Breast Cancer Awareness Month, the pregnant actress lent a hand to jewelry designer Alex Woo to create a stylish new pendant necklace to raise money for her Right Action for Women foundation. “This piece reminds me so much of the roses I made out of ribbons for my friends and family while in the hospital,” said Christina. “I am so grateful to Alex for creating such a beautiful piece to benefit Right Action for Women. Proceeds from the necklace will help women at high risk for breast cancer get the screenings and testing they need to beat this disease.” The tree and branches within the pendant–offered in both silver ($198) and gold ($998)–are designed to signify balance, peace, harmony and the curves of a woman. The seven leaves represent each day of the week, reminding women to live everyday to the fullest. To help ensure the early detection of breast cancer, visit alexwoo.com and purchase your necklace just in time for Breast Cancer Awareness month in October. –Jessie Goldberg

Evan Rachel Wood a ‘Free Spirit’ When it Comes to Her Beauty Routine

Jeff Kravitz/FilmMagic

Playing everything from an ashen-faced vampire queen in True Blood to a bronzed vixen in Gucci’s latest fragrance campaign, style chameleon Evan Rachel Wood is ready to surprise her fans at every turn. “I have fun playing with makeup,” she tells PEOPLE. The actress shared many of her favorite style tips, including the secret to keeping her porcelain visage flawless: “I am SPF crazy. I have sunscreen in the door of my car. I have sunscreen in my purse.” Sun protection aside, the self-professed Sephora fan likes to have fun pushing the beauty boundaries “to see how far I can go,” experimenting with everything from ultra-smoky eyes (she’s a fan of Stila Smudge Pots) to her tattoos–including one on the inside of her lip that she keeps hush-hush! Wood credits her daring style to growing up with a “very artistic family” that encouraged her to be different. “I try and surround myself with people who just aren’t afraid to be who they are and aren’t going to judge me for doing anything I’m doing.” The redhead’s latest role as the face for Gucci’s Guilty scent gives her the platform to do just that. “I love [the] idea of the Gucci woman being this take no prisoners, full throttle, is going to do what she wants to do [woman],” she says. “I think you can be just as tough in a pair of heels if you’re in control of it.” Hear more from the star in this week’s issue of PEOPLE, on stands now. – Hana Choi, reporting by Jackie Fields

Tom Brady’s Long Locks: A Labor of Love for Gisele

Splash News Online

It’s been a long time growing for the shag-a-licious Tom Brady, whose bad hair days just won’t go away thanks to his increasingly long locks. So why won’t the handsome quarterback cut his hair? His supermodel wife Gisele Bündchen. “You’ll have to speak to my wife about that,” demurred the New England Patriot when he was asked by Massachusetts radio jock Greg Hill if there was anything he could personally do to get Brady to chop his hair, reports the Boston Herald. The two-time Super Bowl MVP first debuted his Justin Bieber-esque ‘do back in June at the NBA Finals. And just like one of the hit singles from the 16-year-old pop star, Brady’s bowl cut has stuck, much to the dismay of his female and male fans alike. However, the football star did get the ultimate approval – from someone else besides wife Bündchen: “Nice haircut, Brady,” Bieber, the hair extraordinaire himself, relayed to the Herald. Tell us: Do you have a say in your man’s haircut? –- Christie LaRusso
