We have long been envious of Ginnifer Goodwin’s flawless skin, and when we finally caught up with the Big Love star, we learned that her secret was simple — going vegan! “I don’t think I’ve had a zit in the more than a year [that] I’ve been a vegan and I have far more energy, I sleep better, my conscience is certainly more at peace,” she told PEOPLE this week at the Humane Society and GQ magazine benefit to end puppy mills. Ginnifer even manages to make her fashion obsession mesh with her new lifestyle. Says Goodwin, “There are wonderful fashions, there’s amazing ways to incorporate it into your life” — including the Stella McCartney pumps that she paired with her animal print Escada dress for the event. But as much as she loves sparkling on the red carpet, it was her compassion for animals that brought her out, along with Khloe Kardashian and Brittny Gastineau, in support of the Humane Society. “Really I think that everything the Humane Society of the United States is trying to do is very practical and logical, you know we’re not doing anything except make the lives of animals better.” Click here to learn more about the Humane Society and its fight against puppy mills. –Reporting by Michelle Ward

As a top hoofer on Dancing With The Stars Karina Smirnoff might have Hollywood’s best products at her disposal, but when it comes to beauty, the dancer revealed to PEOPLE last night, she’d prefers grocery store shelves to department store counters. “I’ve got to be honest,” she confided at the Entertainment Weekly and Women in Film Pre-Emmy Party, “I don’t spend a lot of time or money on buying expensive products, because there are so many natural ways — like you can use olive oil for your skin. You don’t even have to spend hundreds of dollars on an eye cream,” she says frankly. Karina traces her love of kitchen-cupboard beauty to her Greco-Russian upbringing. “Have you seen My Big Fat Greek Wedding? How I think they had Windex that cured everything. With my family, Aloe Vera cures everything. If you have a blister: Aloe Vera. If you have a wrinkle: Aloe Vera. So, I think it comes with being half-Greek and half-Russian. We’ve always been into natural.” And she’ll soon be making her family beauty fix-alls accessible to everyone. “I’m actually writing a lifestyle book. Every chapter is going to have like a natural remedy, from taking eye-makeup off with diluted olive oil, to [rubbing] an ice cube frozen with squeeze lime or lemon in it all over your face to get circulation [going] and have your muscles be more toned, to just doing avocado oil hair mask.” Tell us: What at-home beauty remedies never fail you? –Reporting by Jed Dreben

She’s one of music’s most stylish stars, and in a revealing new interview, Rihanna dishes about her fashion obsessions and favorite beauty tips — as well as her tomboy past. “I’ve been a fashion fanatic since I was little, looking at all the international magazines. But I used to dress like a boy when I was a kid,” she admits to the British edition of In Style. “I’d wear my brother’s baggy pants and his trainers.” And her tastes have definitely changed over the years. “Now I like little skull caps, jeans, flat boots that come up to the knees. And then I play around with the top — a big T-shirt, or a sleek camisole, or a jacket. I love jackets! I have a million.” The singer gives credit for her unique fashion sense to her makeup-artist mom. “She knew everything about perfume, skincare and make-up,” she says. “She never let me wear make-up but I was secretly fascinated, so when she’d leave home, I would play around with hers.” And her surprisingly simple secret to looking fresh-faced even on a grueling world tour? “Water and rest for my skin,” she says.

We’ve been chalking up Kate Moss’s radiant appearance to boyfriend Jamie Hince, but it turns out it’s actually all thanks to the ultimate rock chick turned eco-beauty junkie Jo Wood. The wife of Rolling Stone rocker Ronnie Wood and founder of the Jo Wood Organics beauty line tells PEOPLE at her Everyday Range product launch how she convinced the supermodel to go organic. “I opened her fridge to see what was organic and there was nothing. I started telling her how important it is for her little girl.” And the mom of five-year-old Lila Grace is now almost 100% converted, including using Jo’s beauty line. “Kate loves the stuff, she loves all the oils,” adds Wood. As for the model’s bright complexion, Wood chalks it up to her new organic food regimen. “It’s amazing she can get away with it. She still likes to have a good party, but her skin looks good still. I told her! You have to look after your skin but it’s what you put in you as well.” So where should an organic beginner start? “Read the labels,” Jo says. “Once you start reading labels then you only want to have things that you understand in your products.” Consider us converted.
