Daisy Fuentes on How to Look Like a Million Bucks — Without Spending It!

When Daisy Fuentes first launched her exclusive line for Kohl’s in 2004, she had no idea that it would turn into the base of a fashion empire. “I started with a small sportswear line. What I thought would be something of a ‘hobby’ quickly turned into full-blown business,” Daisy tells PEOPLE. And what a business it is! With the launch of her newest collection for Kohl’s, Daisy continues to dress everyday women to look like a million bucks without spending it. “Today’s fashion savvy women are busier than ever, doing it all and wanting it all,” she said. “Looks must transition from day to night, must easily mix and match and must be affordable.” And besides her go-to LBD, she says the key pieces that exude this idea from her collection are “sweaters and leggings.” But gathering the separates is simple, it’s putting together the outfit that creates chaos in your closet. “Layers are great,” she advises. “Start with jeans or leggings and a cute t-shirt or shirt. Add sexy boots, a lush sweater or coat, belt the T-shirt or the sweater.” And for the final touch? “Glam accessories and modern bag…and don’t forget the sunglasses!” Know that you know how to put it all together, shop the Daisy Fuentes one-stop shop which includes everything from intimates and bedding to fragrances and clothing at kohls.com. –Jessie Goldberg

Tweeting new highlights was just the start of a summer-long love affair with gradually lightening her hair for Demi Lovato, who has now returned to her original dark brunette color in time for fall! Over the weekend the star turned out at a Mexico City press conference for Camp Rock 2 with dark brown hair color that rivaled that of costar — and former boyfriendJoe Jonas. And while we’ve loved seeing Demi play around with lighter hues, we think that the new color is ideal for the cooler weather. But what do you think?

Matthew Williamson to Launch More Affordable Diffusion Collection

If you’ve always loved Matthew Williamson’s swirling prints and lush beading but didn’t have the star paycheck to buy a piece, you aren’t alone ! The British designer is launching a diffusion collection called Muse by Matthew Williamson for fall 2011, which will serve as his main line’s very affordable younger sister because, “I’m sick of everybody saying, ‘I love it, but I can’t afford it,’” he told nymag.com. And although specifics of the collection have yet to be revealed, one thing’s for sure, the designer promises, “it will be at least half the price of our main line.” Next fall has never seemed so far away!

The Paris-based designer is known for his utterly feminine styles, loved by stars from Halle Berry (who famously wore his peekaboo gown to accept her Oscar) to Perry pal Rihanna. To top off her look, Perry had a wardrobe of custom Casadei shoes to choose from — including one-of-a-kind $7,000 beaded satin heels for the ceremony and sparkling flat sandals for late-night dancing ease.

Diane Kruger’s Style Credo: ‘There is Such a Thing as Too Much”

Diane Kruger knows what she does–and doesn’t!–like. Despite some serious red-carpet moxie, the star has perfected the art of never taking style over the top. “I never let clothes wear me,” she tells PEOPLE, explaining, “Above all, I dislike vulgarity. Being sexy is all good, but there is such a thing as too much.” And whether she’s dressed to the nines in angelic white Calvin Klein or airport chic in denim, the former runway queen admits to playing by her own rules when it comes to fashion and beauty. “I love to do my own make-up for red carpet events,” she says. “I find that less is more in terms of foundation, etcetera for me. And who knows my face better than me?” Though she admittedly owns “an embarrassing amount of make-up,” skincare in her first priority—even in the face of calamity. “The only things I would take with me to a desert island are sun block and hope for the best.” We’re pretty sure that even then, she’d look flawless. See more of Diane’s style favorites in the current issue of PEOPLE magazine. -– Justine Harman; reporting by Jackie Fields
