Queen Latifah has company! Paula Patton is joining the actress as a brand ambassador for the CoverGirl Queen Collection. The Precious star — who isn’t fronting a campaign, but instead helping to promote the brand to the digital world — joins other CoverGirls like Taylor Swift, Sofia Vergara, Drew Barrymore and Ellen DeGeneres.

To celebrate her partnership with the brand, Patton — a new mom — will lead a live chat on Facebook and Twitter this Saturday, Oct. 22, at noon ET. Fans can log on and talk to the star about her beauty routine — and learn how they can win a chance to spend time with her and one of her favorite makeup artists for their very own CoverGirl Queen Collection makeover.

Find more details on Patton’s new role — and the live chat — on CoverGirl’s Facebook page.

Kirsten Dunst: I’m Learning to Dress My Age

Kirsten Dunst: Melancholia and Shopping

She may be known for crater-deep dimples and alabaster skin, but Kirsten Dunst says she’s all grown up.

“I’m currently cleaning out my closet of childish dresses,” the Melancholia actress explains in the winter issue of T Magazine. “I want to start dressing like I’m 30. Some of the things I have are like, ‘I can’t wear this anymore, it’s not cute.’”

Items on the star’s shopping list include basics from A.P.C. and Balenciaga, which she stocked up on after a self-imposed shopping hiatus. “I didn’t shop for a long time,” she confesses, “People bother you.” Not on the agenda? Trendy items and New York-sourced vintage, which she dubs “too expensive.”

However, like most women, Dunst is a sucker for sartorial romance. “I like it when I do a photo shoot and it’s a fantasy of something,” she says. “You can dress me up.”

Looking to change your signature scent? Another starlet is throwing her hat into the ring of celebrity perfumers: Nicole Richie. The former reality star and current designer is following in the footsteps of Kim Kardashian, Taylor Swift, Katy Perry and a host of others, launching her own perfume in the near future.

“[Richie] has a wide breadth of creative talents being an author, a jewelry designer, a fashion designer and an aspirational figure,” TPR Holdings president Brian Robinson told WWD. Having 2.3 million Twitter followers helps her credibility in the style world, too. “They look favorably on her,” he added. “She’s done a great job with her image.”

Though very few details were revealed, Robinson, whose company holds the license for Richie’s upcoming scent, said the fragrance and packaging will reflect Richie’s “very distinct image,” and fans can expect a scent that will be “cool, classy and edgy.”

Stacy London Shares Five Style Tips for Fall

True confession: we’ve dreamed of having Stacy London come revamp our closets. She’s stylish, sassy — and comes with a $5,000 gift card! But if we can’t have one-on-one time with the fabulous fashion expert, we’ll take a few words of wisdom. The What Not to Wear host graciously answered some questions for us recently during the Westfield Style Tour in Los Angeles; here’s what she had to say:

What key pieces should every girl have in her wardrobe for fall?

This season, the key pieces for fall are the leather skirt, the laminated jean, colored fur (or a neutral tone for a more conservative look), the relaxed pant and a bright pop of bold color (be it a coat, skirt or bag!). Accessories play a major role in completing your look, so be sure to add in pin-dot tights, an oversized satchel, brightly colored platforms and a geode necklace.

One of the season’s hottest pieces: the maxi skirt. How do you style it?

The maxi skirt personifies what we call “new bohemian” for fall, along with colored knits, floppy hats, boots and intricate beaded jewelry. Pick and choose how you want to make this look work for your lifestyle. Try pairing a maxi skirt or dress with motorcycle boots, a relaxed cardigan and beaded earrings or with a darker wedge heel and red lipstick for evening.
