How Chloë Moretz Makes ‘Flirty and Chic’ Age Appropriate

Being 14 and walking red carpets requires a bit of balance: for actress Chloë Moretz, it means making fashion-forward choices while still looking fresh and demure. So the Hick star turns to three trusted authorities — her stylist, her mom and her brother — every time she leaves the house for an event.

“It’s all up to my stylist, Nell Kalonji,” Moretz recently told PEOPLE. “I owe it to her for everything she pulls for me and puts together for me. [I] have to be very age appropriate, but at the same time flirty and chic and young.”

Luckily, that’s not an issue for the star. “I definitely keep it safe because I’m not that kind of girl,” she explained. “I’m not risqué — I’m very normal and grounded. So I definitely don’t want to get older when I have a lot of time to do that.”

So far, she’s kept it youthful on the red carpet, making stylish statements in dresses by the likes of Versace, Christopher Kane, Stella McCartney and Kenzo. And she’s learned the art of fashion moderation, too. As she mused, “A little bit of Dolce goes a long way.”

Time Out! Quarterback Eli Manning Designs Men’s Watches for Charity

He relies on the play clock during his weekly football games, but off the field, New York Giants quarterback Eli Manning keeps time with “simple” watches, he tells PEOPLE.

“I like watches that are efficient, easy to look at,” he says. “Not too many bells and whistles. I can look down, see the time easily and read the date.”

Being a man of such few needs, he recently joined forces with Citizen — a brand he’s worked with for the past four years — to create two limited-edition Eli Manning chronograph watches. Just 1,000 of each timepiece — one has a polyurethane strap ($599), the other stainless steel ($675) — were produced, and proceeds from the sale of each benefit the March of Dimes.

“I jumped at the opportunity to do this,” he shares, adding that his involvement was pretty painless. “They sent me some specs, some options for dials and colors, put them together and they turned out great.”

Get the Look: Rihanna’s ‘We Found Love’ Jewels

When Rihanna went in search of jewelry to wear in her new “We Found Love” video, the singer looked no further than Bijules, an edgy line by aptly named Manhattan-based designer Jules Kim. Having added sparkle to ensembles worn by Beyoncé, Fergie, Mary J. Blige and Kim Kardashian — to name a few — Kim has become a go-to gal for celebrities looking to spice up an outfit.

Rihanna first wore Bijules in her stark “Umbrella” video, Kim tells PEOPLE. But for “We Found Love,” the designer “was really pushing mixing styles with different directions and metals,” she says. (Two of her rings can be seen when the singer takes a spin around 2:55.)

Stylist Ted Gibson’s Fall Hair Dos and Don’ts

On What Not to Wear, Ted Gibson helps women transform through new haircuts and colors. And now, the hair stylist — who’s worked with Angelina Jolie and Zoe Saldana, and is currently styling Ashley Greene on her Breaking Dawn press tour — is teaming with Slim-Fast, encouraging women to find their “wow” moments by striving to look and feel their best.

“I think that hair plays a huge part in the ‘wow’ moment,” Gibson tells PEOPLE. “If women are in the process of losing a significant amount of weight — anywhere from five to 25 pounds — more than likely, their hair is going to change, whether it’s in color or length.”

Since Gibson is in the business of helping women “bring out that most beautiful self,” as he says, the pro offers up his dos and don’ts for fall hair.

Do:
–Darken your do. “I always say women should change their color at least twice a year,” he says. “During the spring and summer make it lighter, and in the fall, change it to darker tones.”

Stacy Keibler: Confidence Makes Women Beautiful

You don’t become George Clooney‘s girlfriend by being a wallflower! In an interview with thebeautybean.com, Stacy Keibler says she thinks confidence is what makes women most beautiful. “I truly believe that it’s not always what’s on the outside, it’s what’s in the inside,” she says. “Every one of us has a special characteristic that makes us unique. So embrace it and love yourself, and your beauty will radiate.”

For those moments when she does need a little extra outer beauty, though, Keibler relies on C.O. Bigelow Mentha Lip Shine. “It’s mint-infused lip gloss for fresh breath,” she shares. “My girlfriends and I all have it with us wherever we go.”

In addition, the 32-year-old says that if she could go back, she’d tell her younger self to wear face cream — and eye cream. “I would have started using it years ago,” she says. “It’s great to keep your skin hydrated. It doesn’t have to be expensive … just getting into the routine of using it every morning and night will keep your skin refreshed.” For more from Keibler, including how the former Dancing with the Stars contestant handles body image in Hollywood, visit thebeautybean.com.

Drew Barrymore Changes Her Hair Color — Again!

Bye bye, red — hello again, ombré! Drew Barrymore appears to be back on the two-tone hair wagon again after dying her hair red in April. The actress — who hasn’t been out in a while — joined pals Cameron Diaz and Kate Hudson (plus Reese Witherspoon) at the LACMA Art + Film Gala Honoring Clint Eastwood in L.A. on Saturday, debuting her new (and also short) do at the event.

In April, Barrymore’s colorist Tracey Cunningham told PEOPLE that the actress prefers to keep her look fresh. “We like to try new things when the seasons change,” she added. Since the auburn was “the perfect spring red shade,” Cunningham said, it’s possible Barrymore’s short dark-to-light is what’s hot again for fall. Not that it matters for the star; as Cunningham said, “Drew is a color chameleon! Her skin is so pretty that any hair color will complement her eyes.”
