She may be taking a bit of a backseat to this season’s buzz-worthy Dancing with the Stars contestants, but Brooke Charvet was every bit as glam as her ballroom buddies during the show’s premiere Monday and Tuesday nights.

Monday, the newlywed opened the show sporting sleek hair and a one-shouldered green gown by Lorena Sarbu. But for the results episode Tuesday, Charvet worked romantic curls, pinning them up to one side. Admittedly, the DWTS hostess does have some great hair, but we asked the stylists at Hotheads how to achieve the look at home and as it turns out, it’s not that hard! Just follow these steps from stylist Sheenon Olson:

1. Prep dry hair with a mousse or texturizing cream.

Rachel Roy likes a challenge. So when searching for people to collaborate with on her Macy’s line, Rachel Rachel Roy, she seeks out artists whose skills are different than hers. In the past, she’d teamed with pro surfer Karina Petroni to create shoes, but this year, she found herself drawn to someone a little more … masculine.

Roy tapped basketball star Amar’e Stoudemire to design women’s clothes with her, leading to the recently launched Rachel + Amar’e collection for Macy’s. The line features cute T-shirts, jackets, vests, shorts and more perfect for the girl who likes to hit the court — or take things in from a courtside seat.

“He loves fashion,” Roy tells PEOPLE of her partner in design. “He works so hard at what he does. And when you have a brand in fashion, you have to have a good team and you have to work hard … harder than you’ve ever imagined. And he did that.”

How Kourtney Kardashian Styles the Men in Her Life

She’s a perfectionista when it comes to her own fashion, but how does style guru Kourtney Kardashian make the men in her life look good? Luckily for her, they’re already naturals.

“I love when guys are into fashion, I think it’s fun,” she told PEOPLE recently at the Sony PlayStation Uncharted 3 Mobile Half-Tuck Truck in N.Y.C. “Scott and I go shopping together all the time and I’m like, what would I do if he hated to shop or didn’t like fashion?”

Though she and longtime boyfriend Scott Disick love to peruse the racks together, her stylish beau seems to have no qualms about picking out his own garb. “Even if I think I know what he would like, it’s never right,” she said of Disick’s distinct style. “If I say, ‘Oh this is so you,’ he’ll say, ‘No I do not like that.’ So I’m never right when it comes to him.”

Instead, she focuses her passion for fashion on styling son Mason. “I dress [Mason] a little boho-preppy, like little moccasins, little vintage belts, Indian belts — I think it’s all about accessories, even if he has a cute pair of sunglasses or he’s wearing something simple,” she said. “The other day I put him in a Burberry scarf and it looked so [amazing], he was just wearing black skinny pants and a black T-shirt and black loafers but the scarf just made his outfit.”

Are Hayden Panettiere and Michelle Trachtenberg the Next Celebrity Designers?

Ever wonder how much shoe game young Hollywood has? PEOPLE checked in with Hayden Panettiere and Michelle Trachtenberg at the unveiling of Stuart Weitzman’s Young Hollywood Cares collection during Fashion’s Night Out to get the scoop on staying well-heeled.

“It’s like wearing stilts, but they look good,” chuckled Hayden Panetierre about the stacked platform booties she co-designed with Stuart Weitzman. “That’s the great thing about the wedge in the front. It gives that illusion that your foot is tilted much more than it is.” And unlike some celebrity collaborations, creating the $498 “Hayden” was a labor filled with love. The star, who said her involvement was “just shy of stitching,” came to New York solely to support the collection, the proceeds of which benefit Dr. Marsha Moses’ pioneering research in ovarian cancer.

Lady Gaga’s Little Sister: I Support the Spectacle

She’s a recent high school graduate with porcelain skin, an enviously thick fringe and heavy-lidded eyes, but Natali Germanotta isn’t the next Hollywood ingénue; she’s Lady Gaga‘s little sister.

With a pop culture résumé that can be summed up with a cameo in the 2009 “Telephone” video and accompanying her sister to this year’s CFDAs, the Parsons fashion student says she isn’t capitalizing on big sis’s big connections. Going to school “is about learning what you need for your career,” she says in the September issue of Teen Vogue.

And while Germanotta isn’t interested in raiding her sister’s closet — “Some of the stuff she wears I’d be like, ‘No, never.’” — the 19-year-old fully encourages the spectacle. “She asked me, ‘Should I dress really conservative and look not like myself, or should I do it over-the-top and freak everybody out?,’” she recalls of helping her sis dress for her recent high school graduation ceremony. “And I was like, ‘The latter, definitely the latter.’” (For the record, Gaga did not disappoint, opting for a rhinestone-encrusted bodysuit and beekeeper headgear.)
