Celebs have always looked to French label Isabel Marant for a boho take on casual dressing — hits from the past include ankle wrap “Gava” pumps and go-with-everything suede booties — but this week, the stars can’t get enough of the brand’s tribal-print separates!

On Sunday, Cheryl Cole paired $425 printed corduroy “Silo” skinnies with a cropped boucle jacket for a stylish jaunt through LAX. The next day, mama-to-be Hilary Duff topped the brand’s $1,170 georgette dress with a sculpted blazer for a visit to Good Morning America. Later that same day, Nicole Richie sported a pair of $660 “Renell” jeans with gladiator booties and all-black basics while out in L.A.

We’re thinking about adding some tribal prints to our wardrobe, but are a little sticker shy. Tell us: What do you think of stars’ new Marant tribal trend?

Jaime King Emails Jason Wu for Fashion Advice

Color us jealous! While chatting with InStyle.com at the Veuve Clicquot Polo Classic in Pacific Palisades, Calif., over the weekend, Hart of Dixie star Jaime King revealed a very chic secret: Jason Wu is basically her stylist.

Wearing a look straight off the spring 2012 runway — shoes included — King said she “shot [Wu] an email” when she decided she wanted to wear the look. “We get along really well, and we decided that we wanted to start collaborating together with what I’m wearing,” she explained.

So King started sending him her “style goals,” and he happily helped her meet them. “He handpicks the outfits and sends them to me,” she revealed. (Wu, Target’s next collaborator, is also beloved by Reese Witherspoon and Michelle Obama.)

Guess it must be fun to have such fashionable friends. “He’s one of my all-time favorites,” she added. “If I could wear Jason Wu every day, I would do it.”

Scarlett Johansson is once again proving she’s a pro at creating a dramatic beauty moment! The star, who serves as the face of Dolce & Gabbanna beauty, is stunning in just-released behind-the-scenes images for the new DG Passion Duo lipsticks and Creamy Foundation.

In the glamorous shots, taken last summer in London during a fun-filled photo shoot, the bombshell poses seductively with bright-red lips and flawless skin, wearing a D&G robe and a sexy dress.

Johansson was first announced as the face of the makeup brand in 2009; at the time she was photographed in a series of shots meant to evoke Marilyn Monroe’s iconic beauty.

Taylor Swift’s Curly Coif: Inspired by the Seasons?

Taylor Swift is known for her perfectly-coiled ringlets, but catch her at the right time and you might find her with a flatiron.

“It’s a very seasonal thing for me — I always feel the need to straighten my hair when it’s winter,” the perfumer tells PEOPLE. “In the winter months I’m like, ‘Oh, what am I going to do today? I think I’ll straighten my hair today.’”

Although it doesn’t appear that the songstress ever has a bad hair day, she says when she’s not loving the way her coif looks, she conceals it by “putting on a beanie. Or a side braid.”

But thankfully, those typical curls don’t take much effort. “A 3/4-in. curling iron and bobby pins,” she says of the essentials. “I don’t really put anything on it because if you have curly and you put too much product on it, it can get crunchy, which nobody likes.” Tell us: What do you think of Swift’s seasonal hair tactics?
