Ashlee Simpson-Wentz Takes Her Hair Even Shorter!

Ashlee Simpson-Wentz's Platinum Pixie
Splash News Online

Is less really more? That’s what Ashlee Simpson-Wentz has us wondering with her newest hairstyle! The singer was spotted leaving a Los Angeles salon sporting dark glasses and a lighter and shorter look than her previous chop, which she debuted earlier in the fall. The Simpson-Wentz clan is no stranger to hair adventures, with hubby Pete Wentz causing a stir with his recent return to natural curls. Ashlee has often been daring with her hair colors and styles through the years –- and we think with her delicate features, she’s able to pull off even the edgiest looks. But we want to know what you think. Do you like Ashlee’s platinum pixie do, or should she have given the peroxide and shears a rest? – Hana Choi

Soon it will be a little bit easier to look like sexy Sofia Vergara: The Modern Family star is partnering with Kmart to create her first fashion line—a collection of jewelry, clothes, shoes and bags that channels her signature sultry look. For Vergara, doing the line was a no-brainer. “This is kind of natural for me,” she tells WWD. “I have always been interested in clothes and makeup and beauty. I always dressed up. I wasn’t laid-back about it. I’m not lounging around in sweat clothes and flip-flops. Maybe a nice pair of sweats.” From miniskirts and jeggings to leopard bustiers and tight dresses, the Sophia Vergara for Kmart Collection will make its debut in stores this fall. Tell us: What do you think of Sophia Vergara’s collection for Kmart? –Kim Peiffer

Is sunny California living rubbing off on English beauty Emily Blunt? Earlier this week, we spotted the signature brunette with what looked like ginger-tinted locks at her Gnomeo & Juliet premiere in Hollywood; and it seems the actress is indeed changing-up her color! Blunt has been having weekly sessions with colorist Anival Morales, confirms a publicist for Essensuals London Salon in L.A., gradually lightening up for her upcoming role in action sci-fi film Looper. Whether on the streets or on the red carpet, the newlywed always looks fresh and elegant in our eyes, but we want to know what you think. Do you love Emily’s lighter hair, or do you prefer her with chocolate locks? – Hana Choi

Halle Berry has mastered the art of the reveal on red carpets around the globe–and her aptly named new fragrance celebrates women’s hidden allure. “Reveal is an invitation for women to share their story, to reveal some parts of themselves that they have not yet expressed,” Halle explains in a release. The third in her growing fragrance empire, Reveal builds on the success of Halle by Halle Berry and Pure Orchid by Halle Berry with a blend of notes that include plumeria, peach, vetiver, and the actress’s favorite flower, mimosa. “Reveal has a perfect balance. Light and fresh, it becomes sexier and more mysterious as you wear it,” she says. Halle’s scent is making its debut in stores across the country in February, with prices starting at $17 for a .5-oz bottle. Tell us: Are you excited for Halle’s latest fragrance?

Would You Wear Neon Yellow Eyeshadow Like Rachel McAdams?

Ever since the spring runways put the focus on bright eyeshadow last September, we’ve been looking forward to setting aside our grays and browns for pops of purple, blue and green. And while we thought that we’d wait until the weather warms up, Rachel McAdams beat us to the trend by wearing an eye-popping shade of neon yellow along her lash lines in the dead of winter. We definitely applaud her for taking a risk and shunning the red carpet’s standard neutrals, but we might save these super bright hues for summer months. Tell us and you could see your answer in the next issue of PEOPLE StyleWatch: What do you think of Rachel’s bright yellow eye makeup?–Katie Dickens
