Halle Berry and Beau Olivier Martinez: Hair Twins?

Many couples have been known to coordinate their outfits, but their hairstyles? Not so much. However, coif coordination seems to be de rigueur for Halle Berry and her sexy beau, Olivier Martinez.

The actress, a pro at pulling off a super-short do, showed off an even shorter pixie cut recently, but it wasn’t the length that got our attention. It was more about the fact that Berry’s locks are looking more and more like those of boyfriend Olivier Martinez, with whom she is spending a significant amount of time.

Berry recently told InStyle that she cuts her hair just about every two weeks. “I have to get my hair cut a lot because when you have short hair like this, it grows out of the cut in about 10 days,” she said. And while the regular trims might get tiresome, the day-to-day routine is a piece of cake. “I don’t put much energy into it,” she explained. “Spiking it up and putting product in it isn’t something that’s hard.”

Hollywood hair changes! Two stars hit the red carpet in the last two days rocking dramatically different styles. First, Jennifer Love Hewitt stepped out Thursday at the premiere of her film Café, wearing one of her favorite looks — a curve-hugging bandage dress and nude shoes — but giving her look a twist with heavy, face-framing fringe and a shorter cut (below).

Then Friday, Rihanna attended her fragrance launch in a typically attention-getting blue feathered outfit, plus a highly-styled brunette pompadour — a major change from her previous Crayola-red hue. She’d been out in her native Barbados sporting her more natural color, but this is the first red carpet shot that allows us to get a good look at the honey-highlighted mane. Tell us: Do you like Rihanna’s new style? How about Jennifer Love Hewitt’s?

Will Kim Kardashian Wear a Gastineau ‘Evil Eye’ on Her Wedding Day?

Growing up, Brittny Gastineau admired her mother Lisa’s jewelry, and her passion for shiny gems and stones. “My mom has been in the jewelry business her whole life. She knows every major diamond and who had them,” the younger Gastineau tells PEOPLE. “That’s her passion and her passion is coming down to me.”

To celebrate their love of all things shimmery, the Gastineau Girls created Gastineau Glamour, a line of pendants, rings, bracelets and more that sells on HSN. Celebrities like Lindsay Lohan, Naomi Campbell and Maria Menounos love the line, which stands out with its heavy emphasis on “evil eye” pieces. “That’s a reminder of positive energy,” Gastineau says.

In fact, Gastineau plans to gift best friend Kim Kardashian with an evil eye for her wedding day. “I am going to give it to her as a surprise,” Gastineau told PEOPLE in July. “It’s a bridal pin, with diamonds. You put it under your wedding dress so you have all those eyes on you, and it’s supposed to protect you from anyone wishing you not right or not well.”

If the cast of The Hills ever reunites for a movie version of the MTV series, Whitney Port will certainly have a lot to share with her former costars. The designer has been working on a spring 2012 collection she plans to debut in September at Fashion Week and Fashion’s Night Out.

“I do custom prints, so I have a lot of watercolor things going on,” Port told PEOPLE this summer at the Vans Warped Tour in Carson, Calif. “[It's] really colorful and really a mix of business sophisticate with a funky street-girl aesthetic — the good mix of L.A. and New York vibes.”

The Southern California native is certainly attuned to both coasts’ fashion vibes after living in N.Y.C. for a year working on her Whitney Eve line. But now that she’s back on the West Coast, her personal style is already shifting.
