Emily Blunt Gets Addicted in Behind-the-Scenes Clips for YSL Opium

She’s addicted — to her new perfume! Emily Blunt plays a woman on the hunt for Yves Saint Lauernt’s intoxicating Opium fragrance in new ads for the scent, which debut in December. In the behind-the-scenes clip above, eager fans can catch a glimpse of the starlet in action as she leaves a mysterious party — and even encounters a snow leopard — as she searches for the scent.

“It was thrilling,” Blunt says of filming the campaign. “I was given a story to play, and for me as an actress that’s very exciting. I’m not just posing or just trying to sell something.”

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry’s Glam AMA Looks: All the Details

Taylor Swift and Katy Perry were two big winners last night at the American Music Awards — not to mention, two belles of the ball. The singers — and close friends — sported flawless skin and eyes and lips that totally popped. So we talked to their makeup artists to get the scoop on their clean looks — and how you can emulate them at home.

“The American Music Awards show itself was the inspiration for Taylor’s look,” makeup artist Lorrie Turk tells PEOPLE. “I wanted to reflect the youthful, fun vibe of this event. I wanted her stunning, youthful complexion to really stand out.”

Turk first used a foundation brush to smooth CoverGirl’s Natureluxe Silk Foundation onto Swift’s skin. She applied concealer on the inner corners of her eyes, and used CG TruBlend Minerals Blush in Shimmering Sands on the singer’s cheeks. (Swift is one of CoverGirl’s celebrity spokesmodels.)

Kate Winslet Really Loves Stella McCartney’s ‘Miracle’ Dresses

She has one of the most fabulous figures in Hollywood, but even Kate Winslet gets a little help looking slim sometimes. The star once again turned to Stella McCartney on Sunday, wearing a red-and-black version of the designer’s “miracle” dress (also known as the “Octavia,” $1595) to the Carnage premiere in Paris. The stretch cotton sheath is so nicknamed because its black side panels seriously flatter the figure.

Winslet has always been a fan of McCartney’s designs, wearing a sexy cut-out LBD to the Mildred Pierce premiere in March. But considering we rarely see her repeating dresses, it was surprising to see her in another of McCartney’s “miracle” dresses after wearing the original “Octavia” to the Venice Film Festival in September.

Liv Tyler and Lala Vazquez are also fans of the sheath, and Penélope Cruz wore a similar style to the Cannes Film Festival in May. The dresses are so popular, in fact, that knock-offs have popped up everywhere from ASOS.com to Topshop. “Usually when someone wears a dress no one else wants to wear it,” PEOPLE StyleWatch editor Kate Dimmock tells GMA. “This time around, people are willing to go there, because it’s that irresistible.”

Kendall and Kylie Jenner’s Fashion Icons? Their Big Sisters

While the youngest members of the Kardashian-Jenner brood, Kendall and Kylie, are becoming fashionistas in their own right, they still look to their older half-sisters Kourtney, Kim and Khloé for style guidance.

“Our sisters are pretty much our inspiration,” Kendall, 16, told PEOPLE at the ‘Forever 21 for Hello Kitty’ collection Launch Party in Hollywood on Thursday, where she and sister Kylie modeled looks from the new line.

“I love Kourtney’s style, because it’s different every day,” added Kylie, 14. “She just wears what she likes, and that’s what I like about it.”

When it comes to their own style, the Jenner sisters like to coordinate clothes for public appearances. “Usually one of us will find an outfit and then the other one tries to go with it,” explained Kendall.

But sometimes the coordination is unintentional — like the time they both wore very similar blue dresses to the Prom premiere and caused a true fashion emergency.

Kristin Cavallari: I ‘Don’t Think’ I’ll Get Botox

She’s only 24 years old, but Kristin Cavallari definitely thinks about the future … of her face. “No one’s ever told me I needed to get a facelift or anything,” she tells xojane.com. “Never say never, but I don’t think I’ll ever get Botox because we don’t know the long-term side effects, and I just don’t think that can be good for you.”

In fact, the starlet has yet to cosmetically alter herself at all … teeth excluded. “The most I’ve done is Crest Whitestrips,” she jokes.

Cavallari, a practicing vegan (“Realistically it happens 50 percent of the time,” she says) who hits the gym at least four times a week, says she “craves” healthy food. “If I don’t eat healthy food I don’t feel good,” she shares.

The starlet admits that her workouts — combined with a light diet and intense Dancing with the Stars training — did once take their toll. “At one point I got too skinny and my manager had to say something to me,” she reveals. But with DWTS behind her and a trainer helping her with cardio and weightlifting three times per week, she’s on a healthier track.
