High school went high fashion at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles Sunday night, where several of Glee‘s sexy male stars hit the blue carpet in looks that might not fly at McKinley High.

Cory Monteith, who nabbed the award for choice TV actor, looked grown up in a button-down shirt and tie, leather jacket and tan pants tucked into boots. Harry Shum, Jr., also went the khaki route, pairing his trousers with a sunny orange sweater. Meanwhile, Chord Overstreet opted for jeans with his black T-shirt and sweater combination.

Kevin McHale broke character in a checkered vest, cuffed jeans and a wild do, while choice TV breakout star Darren Criss looked Warbler-ready in his tailored jacket and jeans.

We think any of the Glee guys are crush-worthy, but want to hear your thoughts. Tell us: Which Glee guy was tops at the Teen Choice Awards?

Ashley Greene is considered quite the fashionista these days, but the Twilight star admits that she frequently feels outdone by her friend and former Gossip Girl actresss, Jessica Szohr.

“Whenever I hang out with her, I always admire what she wears,” Greene told PEOPLE at the Teen Choice Awards at Gibson Amphitheatre in L.A. on Sunday. “She has this way of putting things together that I would never think of. Every time I hang out with her, I’m like, ‘That’s such a cool outfit. I could never pull it off.’”

Even though Greene doesn’t think she can get away with certain style choices, she isn’t closed-minded when it comes to experimenting.

Keith Urban Rises with First Fragrance, Phoenix

“The ‘What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger’ story of the phoenix is something … that I think fits really well with a man’s cologne,” country star Keith Urban tells WWD. “Certainly, I can relate very strongly to that — going through hard times and coming out the other end of it much, much stronger for the experience.” Hence the inspiration for his very first fragrance, Phoenix, launching to fans in mid-September on keithurban.net.

The masculine scent contains notes of blackberries, cognac and dark chocolate, finishing with an amber gourmand, which hints at the smell of leather. Urban describes the fragrance as “not too rugged and not too soft — it’s somewhere in the middle ground.” Echoing that, the bottle has vertical lines along the back — designed to resemble guitar strings — and there’s an etched phoenix on the front, a nod to the Hopi Indian thunderbird tattoo Urban has on his left forearm. The cap is circled by brown leather.

Rachel Zoe may be known as a fashion maven, but now, she’s rolling up her stylish sleeves to delve into the world of beauty.

Zoe was recently announced as the brand ambassador for Exude Lipstick, and according to the new mom, it couldn’t be a more perfect fit. “I’m completely lipstick obsessed, I have been since I was a kid,” she tells beautyhigh.com. Gushing about the line, which will feature nine crème and five lip gloss shades when it launches in October, she says, “It feels incredible, I wear it everyday. It’s really like nothing else I have. And anyone I’ve introduced it to is obsessed with it.”

One of her favorite aspects of Exude is the packaging: a special lipstick-shaped applicator that twists up so the product never looses its shape. “Lipstick can get very unattractive. I’ve literally had more melted lipsticks in my bag … it’s not cute at all,” she says.

Mary-Kate Olsen Style Secrets

From frugal finds to investment pieces, there is a surprising method to Mary-Kate Olsen‘s styling madness: restraint! Revealing to WhoWhatWear.com that she prefers refined basics to offset bolder choices, the more eclectic Olsen calls a $29.99 tee from her StyleMint collection “an essential wardrobe staple.” And while she praises the “intricate, metallic detail” of a Chanel pre-fall look, it’s a streamlined carryall from The Row that she dubs “Chic. Period.”

Equally restrained are her beauty picks, which include Tom Ford’s Black Orchid perfume for “hints of sandalwood and patchouli” and By Terry Rose Balm for that perfect pout. And when a look demands that hint of edge, Olsen reaches for Elizabeth & James’s $155 “Lafayette” frames. As she insists, “The shape flatters the face.”
