Lacey Schwimmer and partner Chaz Bono succumbed to the pressure of Dancing with the Stars Tuesday night, but Brooke Charvet‘s hair was able to handle the heat — not to mention the studio lights. The hostess wore her long brunette locks curly this week, letting her tresses cascade over her left shoulder.

Just like last week, we asked the stylists at Hotheads how to achieve her look at home. There are several ways to emulate her curls, but the easiest is to follow these steps from stylist Sheenon Olson:

Ashley Greene’s ‘Twilight’ Bridesmaid Dress Revealed

We’re still dying to see Bella Swan’s Breaking Dawn wedding gown, but in the meantime, we have Alice Cullen’s bridesmaid dress to quell our curiosity.

The flapper-esque frock (far left), with a silvery striped pattern and fringed skirt, “was a collaboration,” actress Ashley Greene, who plays Alice Cullen, explained in August. “We wanted to have all the bridesmaids fit together and also have their own identity. So, we took a little bit of Alice’s past and put it into her dress.” (In the photo above, Cullen is joined at the nuptials by beau Jasper Hale and parents Carlisle and Esme Cullen.)

Her statement T-shirts and black jeans may not be seen on runways anytime soon, but Lisbeth Salander’s signature style is earning some serious sartorial respect. H&M is teaming with The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo‘s costume designer, Trish Summerville, to create a line based on Salander, the book’s heroine. The 30-piece collection hits stores Dec. 14, just one week before the film opens in the U.S.

“We put a lot of aged-in washes and finishes, which goes along the lines of the Salander character,” Summerville tells WWD. “In the film, her clothes are quite extreme. They’re really worn down, they’re dirty. So for us, it was taking that kind of concept and giving it more of a realistic feel.”

Petra Ecclestone became known this summer as the world’s richest bride. But her older sister Tamara is no slouch in the luxury department, either — particularly when it comes to shoes.

Tamara, 27, a TV personality in Britain and the daughter of Formula One billionaire Bernie Ecclestone, opened her shoe closet to Closer magazine to reveal 100 pairs of Christian Louboutin heels, 15 pairs of Ugg boots, 20 pairs of sneakers (“though I never work out,” she tells the magazine) and a handful of Ginas and Jimmy Choos.

The value of her shoes alone? Easily $100,000, the Daily Mail estimates.

Sneak Peek! Heidi Klum’s Bare Bones Halloween Costume

Heidi Klum is letting us look deep into her soul with her 2011 Halloween costume, an anatomically-correct — and potentially creepy — bodysuit.

The outfit, called “Visible Woman,” was hand-painted by designer Martin Izquierdo and is what Klum will wear this weekend when she hosts a Halloween party at TAO Nightclub at the Venetian in Las Vegas. She’ll also sport custom prosthetic teeth created by her dentist, Dr. Gregg Lituchy. (The Project Runway host will celebrate again Monday during a HobNob Wines-sponsored bash at PH-D Rooftop Lounge in New York’s Dream Downtown hotel.)

“It’s kind of like a dead body with the first layer of skin ripped off,” she tells PEOPLE of her costume. “It’s basically like me naked.” In fact, every vein and muscle was painted on to replicate her own body structure. “All my veins and blood will all be visible,” she says with a laugh. “You don’t feel quite naked with it because it is so colorful.” As for her husband Seal, she says, “He liked it!”

Klum, this year’s UNICEF Trick-or-Treat Ambassador, admits that Halloween is her favorite holiday, and it shows: In the past several years, the party hostess has dressed up as an apple from the Garden of Eden, Lady Godiva and, in 2010, a larger-than-life superhero. So she suggests going all out when creating your own disguise.
