Miranda Lambert: No Makeup for Me

She loved getting all gussied up for her recent walk down the aisle to now-husband Blake Shelton, but when Miranda Lambert is just hanging out, you’re likely to find her wearing something a lot more casual.

“We live in Oklahoma, two hours from any city, and it’s a haven. Just being in the woods, sitting around a fire being normal, keeps us sane,” Lambert shares in the November issue of Ladies’ Home Journal. “We love to ride four wheelers, go for walks.”

The newlyweds own two farms, just six miles apart from each other. “My house was built in the ’50s, and Blake’s tall and the door is short, so he physically can’t live at my house, so we kind of moved into his,” Lambert shares. “His is total guy house, so I’ve been working to make it girl-friendly. You know, bedspreads and candles.”

Rihanna’s Stylist Explains Her Constantly-Changing Coif

She’s been known to storm the stage with a fiery cropped coif and hit the town with a highly styled brunette pompadour, so when it comes to Rihanna‘s hair, expect to be dazzled with more head-turning hairstyles in the future. “We are always changing it up, experimenting, and having fun with hair,” her stylist Ursula Stephen tells BellaSugar.com.

But what’s behind all the amazing transformations? “Her hairstyle typically changes depending on what’s on our agenda, what she’s wearing, or how she’s feeling.” Stephen says. “We take it day by day and event by event, and usually will both bring ideas to the table. It’s always a collaboration, which is such a great way to work.”

Julianne Hough: The Boots ‘Were the Best Part’ of ‘Footloose’

She may “kick off her Sunday shoes” in the upcoming remake of Footloose, but in reality, star Julianne Hough didn’t want to take her shoes off during filming at all.

“The boots were the best part, actually,” Hough told reporters Monday night at the film’s Los Angeles premiere. “I love the red [Taylor Pull-On] boots (above) more than anything. I have them now. I wore all Levi’s jeans … it was awesome. I loved my wardrobe in [the movie].”

Frye provided boots for the film — about 20 pairs for main characters and extras — and according to a company spokesperson, they became an integral part of Hough’s character. “They were so comfortable,” the actress said. “Way better than ballroom shoes.”

He was one of the most beloved Project Runway contestants ever, so needless to say we’re excited to catch Chris March’s return to television tonight on his new show, Mad Fashion. The series follows the eccentric designer (he famously trimmed dresses with human hair), watching him do what he does best: create gorgeously over-the-top clothes.

“They just film me doing what I already do for a living,” he tells PEOPLE. “It’s almost documentary-style of my work life. And it just happens to be kind of fun and outrageous to watch.”

The cameras capture March creating a Mardi Gras dress for Jennifer Coolidge, concocting Chrissy Teigen’s Met Gala gown and making clothes for other celebs on his star-studded client roster. Each episode starts with the assignment, shows the design process and ends with the final reveal.

Lea Michele’s Plan for Fashion Success: Don’t Listen to Others

When she was told she wasn’t pretty enough for fame, she persevered, so it’s not surprising to learn that on her rise to fame Lea Michele didn’t listen to unsolicited fashion advice, either.

“Ryan Murphy had told me, ‘Don’t wear black. You should never wear black,’” she recalls to InStyle.com when talking about her first Golden Globes. “So my stylist pulled floral, beautiful colors.”

But once another dress caught her eye, there was no turning back. “As I’m walking to the bathroom to try them on, I see the Oscar [de la Renta] dress hanging up in her closet. I said ‘I’m wearing that,’” she shares. “And I called Ryan, and said ‘Ryan, I’m wearing black!’” Looks like putting her well-heeled foot down paid off: the dress earned raves, and the Glee star calls it one of her “most memorable” red carpet gowns. Tell us: Are there any colors you don’t wear?
