Former Dancing with the Stars contestant and Bongo babe Audrina Patridge is getting in the holiday spirit this season by lending her California style to the kids of St. Jude Children’s Research Hospital. The former Hills star hosted a private shopping extravaganza last week at a Kmart in Burbank, Calif., where she posed with Santa and hand picked items to send back to the hospital’s holiday shop. She also selected some must-have pieces for a very special patient named Chase, telling PEOPLE, “I chose a black and burgundy striped, cropped Bongo sweater and a black and blue Bongo sweater for Chase yesterday! Also the dark gray jeggings, which are my favorite and a pair of black motorcycle boots.” And while the selfless star was all about giving at the Kmart/Sears event, you can’t blame the girl for making her own wish list too. “For Christmas, I am dying for a small, diamond cross necklace. I also have my eye on this beautiful pair of YSL heels!” she said. And for the love in her life? “I am searching for the perfect gift to give Corey, my boyfriend! I would love to find an amazing watch.” To style yourself like the sun-kissed beauty, head to Sears.com or Kmart.com, which exclusively carry Audrina’s Bongo goods with a portion of the proceeds benefiting St. Jude. –Jessie Goldberg

Angelina Jolie Makes a Statement with New Jewelry Collaboration

Angelina Jolie Designs Jewelry Collection for a Cause
Flynet

Angelina Jolie is once again putting her celebrity power to good use, this time lending her glamorous and elegant touch to a charitable jewelry collection. The A-list actress has teamed with jeweler and former Asprey CEO Robert Procop of Robert Procop Exceptional Jewels to design jaw-dropping pendants, rings and more, all centered around statement stones. “Angelina has very classic style. These are pieces she wears herself,” Procop, who has been designing pieces for Angelina for the past decade, tells WWD of the collection. Angelina even wore one of the pieces, a black spinel necklace bezel set in rose gold, to the Berlin premiere of Salt earlier this year. And just like the $10,000 cufflink collection that she and husband Brad Pitt designed for Asprey last year, the proceeds from the latest line will benefit her charity, the Education Partnership for Children of Conflict. While the stunning assortment of exceptional pieces will not be sold in stores, they will be made available privately to Procop’s clients. A holiday gift that gives back to those in need? Sounds to us like the perfect luxe stocking stuffer. –Jessie Goldberg

Emma Stone Goes Blonde for ‘Spider-Man’: Love It or Hate It?

Give her an Easy A for adventurousness! Until this weekend, Emma Stone was one of young Hollywood’s most dyed-and-true redheads — but all that changed when she stepped out at the Trevor Project’s annual Trevor Live event in Hollywood on Sunday looking almost unrecognizable with baby blonde hair. “It’s my Spider-Man hair!,” the actress told InStyle of changing up her look to play Spidey’s love interest in the upcoming film. “Blondes do have more fun! But sometimes I look in the mirror and still feel like I’m wearing a wig.” As much as we love seeing the starlet with her new bangs and sunnier shade, we also think she looked pretty gorgeous with auburn hair. What do you think of Emma’s new look? Should she keep the blonde, or defect back to the dark side after filming is through?

It’s been almost 15 years since Sex and the City‘s Carrie Bradshaw made Jimmy Choo a household name, kicking off a glamorous international obsession with the luxe shoe label. And to celebrate this special anniversary, Jimmy Choo founder and chief creative officer Tamara Mellon is launching an updated collection of the brand’s signature jeweled heels, tapping famed photographer Marilyn Minter to create a striking ad campaign for the vintage-inspired shoes. “I wanted to create a modern glamour that stands for the style and imagination of Jimmy Choo,” said Mellon in a statement. “I was inspired by vintage jewelery to add sparkling and luminous details to iconic Jimmy Choo shapes. But these are not the jeweled shoes of the past and instead show jewels in a modern and edgy way,” Tamara said of the collection, which is the first of a series of new initiatives to be revealed throughout the year. And the high-fashion images speak for themselves. The crystal—adorned Marine leather shoe, pictured above and part of the 2011 cruise collection, is just one of the fabulous ways the brand is celebrating. Happy Birthday Jimmy Choo!

Leighton Meester’s Girl Crush: Gwyneth Paltrow!

Watch out, Blake Lively! It looks like there’s another leggy blonde costar who has captured Leighton Meester‘s attention. The Gossip Girl actress, who appears alongside Gwyneth Paltrow in her latest film, Country Strong, seems to have developed a slight girl crush on the older actress-turned-country singer. “She’s gorgeous without any makeup on and she comes to set at 5 a.m. looking really hot which is really great,” Leighton tells InStyle of Gwyneth’s off-screen appeal. “She’s super down-to-earth and makes dirty jokes. She’s just a cool chick.” And that’s not the only on-set secret that Leighton dished on. The stylish star, who gets back to her Texas roots as a beauty queen-turned-singer in Country Strong, plays a neurotic college girl in The Roommate, and gets to slink into some of fashion’s most coveted labels as Blair Waldorf on Gossip Girl, reveals that the mean girl roles get the best outfits. “In The Roommate, I play a little over-the-edge bad girl and she has a pretty good wardrobe,” she tells the publication. Tell us: Who is your celebrity crush? –Jessie Goldberg
