Cozy British couple? Or megawatt movie stars? Ryan Reynolds and model-actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley cuddle up in new ads for British brand Marks & Spencer‘s autumn 2011 Autograph collection, which debuts Thursday.

Shot by BAFTA awards photographer Greg Williams at the St. Pancras Renaissance Hotel in London, the photos depict the couple walking the streets in the brand’s warm fall clothes.

Christina Ricci’s Seven-Year Rule of Style

She’s got a penchant for shoes and vintage shopping, but Christina Ricci has strict rules when it comes to fashion — time sensitive rules, specifically. The Pan Am star says she likes to wait a certain amount of time before re-wearing old clothing.

“I asked my stylist: ‘What’s the rule for when something becomes vintage and not just, like, last season?’” she tells Nylon magazine. “Seven years, apparently. So, seven years later I’ve brought my Alaïa dresses out again.”

The actress, who counts Alaïa and Givenchy as two of her favorites designer brands, also says learning what looks good on you is the key to stylishness.”When you’re as short as me, you kind of have to” get clothes tailored, she explains. “And you kind of know [your] proportions. I spend so much time in fittings and looking in the mirror, so at a certain point you kind of become aware of what works on your body.”

She’s scored a solo magazine cover and suited up for Leah Madden’s swimwear line, and now, Kendall Jenner is continuing her successful modeling career with dress designer Sherri Hill. “I had the most amazing photo shoot this weekend,” Jenner writes on her website. “We shot over two days and I got to wear the most gorgeous prom dresses and work with a really great team.”

In the photos, Jenner shows off sequined dresses while sporting perfectly-coiffed hair and party-ready makeup. According to the Keeping Up with the Kardashians star, Paul Anthony and Kate Best did hair and makeup and photographer Fadil Berisha took the pictures.

The shots are a departure from one of Jenner’s recent modeling sessions; the teen star drew negative reactions after posing in swimwear last summer at age 14. Jenner responded to critics, saying her family was supportive of her modeling career, and that she “wouldn’t do anything [she] wasn’t ready to do, or didn’t want to do.”

Perla Ferrar Renews Vows with Slash While Wearing Her Original Wedding Gown

Slash Wedding Vow Renewal Bauer-Griffin

If it ain’t broke, don’t fix it. That was Perla Ferrar’s thought Tuesday when she renewed her wedding vows with guitarist husband Slash (a.k.a. Saul Hudson) in Ibiza, Spain, re-wearing her original wedding dress to re-commit to her husband of 10 years.

Slash and Ferrar, who announced their split last August but called it off in November, were surrounded by friends and family, including sons London, 9, and Cash, 5, as they exchanged vows, later celebrating at their mountaintop villa in Santa Gertrudis, the U.K.’s Daily Mail reports.

But Ferrar didn’t bother getting a new gown. Instead, she modified her original Richard Tyler dress, working with Brides by Liza to shorten the garment and give it a more beachy vibe. And as an ode to her husband’s iconic style, Ferrar finished her look with a tiny white top hat complete with veil. She first wore the gown in 2001 — sans hat — when the couple married in Hawaii.

They may be bidding adieu to their Harry Potter costumes, but saying goodbye to the franchise means stars Rupert Grint and Tom Felton get to upgrade their wizard wear for some stylish new duds. The costars were recently announced as the new faces of Band of Outsiders‘ fall/winter 2011 campaign, and the Polaroid photos surfaced yesterday.

In the images, shot by the line’s designer Scott Sternberg at (ironically) the Magic Castle in Los Angeles on Aug. 9, Grint and Felton play cards and sip cocktails; in a second shot, Felton shows off some of the line’s casual looks on a rooftop.
