Natalie Portman has a big year ahead of her–a new engagement, a baby on the way and a big awards season coming up. But it’s not just Portman who will be burning the midnight oil in preparation. Her stylist, Kate Young, will be hard at work behind the scenes, choosing the perfect ensembles for the pregnant actress’s red carpet appearances. Young, who has been dressing Portman for the past eight years, tells the New York Times that “mum’s the word” on what the actress will wear this season, but says she has requested numerous custom dresses for the upcoming awards shows, including the Golden Globes on January 16. And while Young tells the Times that “Natalie is not that into fashion,” her stylist still sees this as a great fashion opportunity. “Natalie is beautiful and poised,” Young says. “It’s an opportunity to make the most beautiful pregnancy dress on the red carpet.” –Kim Peiffer

Taylor Swift’s Curls Secret: No Blowdryer Allowed!

Taylor Swift Shares the Secret to Her RingletsJon Kopaloff/FilmMagic

Taylor Swift‘s head of curls might look like it’s hours in the making, but Swift tells PEOPLE that her signature style is all about taking it easy. “I haven’t blow-dried my hair since I was nine [years old],” the CoverGirl Spokeswoman and face of the NatureLuxe collection tells PEOPLE. “I can’t do it. I’m really impatient, so I just let it air dry,” she says of the laid-back attitude that stems from her youth. “I was a tangled-haired, barefoot kid running around on a farm for my childhood,” she says. “My mom didn’t really do too much to my hair other than sometimes she’d stick it up in a bow on top of my head.” As for the cat-eye liner she’s never spotted without: “I like liquid and it’s usually jet black. The basics are eyeliner, foundation and some sort of lip color,” she says. Her hue of preference? “Red, of course!” –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester; reporting by Pamela Edwards-Christiani and Jackie Fields
