Meet The Famous

After almost a year as a brunette, Ashley Tisdale is back to blonde! Over the weekend, the High School Musical 3 star traded her edgier dark brown hair for a flaxen-haired look, and Tweeted about the experience. “Finishing my hair! Just wait till you see it. Aaahhhh!!!,” she told fans. After revealing the finished look, she explained, “I loved being my natural color but Its for an upcoming project which I’m really excited to share with you soon. I love you all! Xoxo”. Tell us: Are you glad Ashley is blonde again, or did you think she looked better as a brunette?

She may not have been old enough to remember the ’80s properly, but Ashley Tisdale, who was born in 1986, is helping revive the decade by bringing acid-washed jeans back. The singer has been spotted out- and- about in L.A. wearing a pair of distressed acid-washed Jet jeans– and she’s not the only one! Trendsetter Nicole Richie has also been spotted rocking the same pair around town! While we will always fondly remember Molly Ringwald and Elisabeth Shue’s flower headpieces and taffeta dresses, we aren’t sure we have the same feelings towards acid-washed jeans. You be the judge! Vote on whether you want to see acid-washed jeans make a comeback.

We already know a few things about Vanessa Hudgens — how much we love her in the High School Musical movies, how well-dressed she always is and how adorable she is with boyfriend Zac Efron. But the star revealed 25 things about herself to SELF this month that you might not know, including tidbits on her fashion, beauty and workout habits. As far as shopping, she says her “biggest splurge was a purse from Louis Vuitton. Ashley Tisdale and I each got one in different colors when we were on tour in Mexico. We call it our friendship purse. I don’t want to say how much it cost. I don’t like revisiting that place.” But she will admit to loving shopping online (just like us!). “I’m an online shopaholic: ShopPlanetBlue.com, Shopbop.com, IntermixOnline.com. I love that you can see everything, rather than fishing through the racks. And the surprise of getting it in the mail is like a present to yourself.” And how does she keep herself looking so good in all her designer duds? “My secret to flat abs is pilates.” But she also loves the challenge of being in a class at the gym, saying “I like sitting in the front row of cycling class. I feel like everybody behind me is looking forward, and that pushes me to do my best. I look at myself in the mirror and get this really ferocious, angry look on my face like I’m about to kill someone. It’s crazy.” As for her beauty routine, she says less is more most of the time, “Sometimes I feel prettier without makeup. You take it off and you’re like, ‘Oh, there I am!’” But there are exceptions to every rule. “Red lips make me feel sexy. Put on red lipstick and it brings out the vixen in you.” Read more about Vanessa at SELF.com.

With everyone from Jessica Simpson to Ashley Tisdale and Uma Thurman adorning their arms with Louis Vuitton’s monogram totes, it’s no wonder the LV logo is so instantly recognizable. But the brand is shaking things up this autumn with a new ultra-exclusive line designed in collaboration with iconic Japanese fashion line Comme des Garcons. Each of the six avant-garde bags puts a spin on classic Louis Vuitton designs — like this eight-armed Speedy. Even if you have the superstar salary to afford one of the limited edition bags, getting your hands on one will require a jet-set lifestyle to go along with it. The collection will available to order exclusively in person at the Louis Vuitton mini-store inside the Comme des Garcons boutique in Tokyo, starting September 4th. Looking for something a little closer to home? You’ll be able to get a more budget-friendly Comme des Garcons fix this fall when the company’s founder and head designer, Rei Kawakubo, takes a turn as a featured guest designer at H&M, designing a women’s and men’s collections in early November. Tell us: What do you think of LV’s latest look? Will you buy from Comme des Garcon’s lower-priced collaboration with H&M this fall?

We first spotted Nicky Hilton in her whimsical Vogue t-shirt earlier in the week, and then we spotted Ashley Tisdale in her equally adorable illustrated T-shirt yesterday on a shopping spree at Kitson. Turns out the hot tees come from Trash & Luxury, a glam new line by L.A. designer Hushi Mortezaie. It seems he got his quirky style from his mentor Patricia Field– the famed Sex & the City stylist responsible for SJP and cast’s outlandishly fashionable costumes. When it comes to his own line, Hushi Mortezaie designs T-shirts that meld a glamorous spirit with a hint of comfort– and what is more glamorous than Vogue? For the first Trash & Luxury collection, Hushi takes his inspiration from ’80s-era New York, the real-life dream world of Los Angeles, Hollywood by night — and a magazine that’s earned its own song. Love the Vogue tees? Get Ashley’s Trash & Luxury tops, $48, at shopkitson.com and Nicky’s, $48 , also at shopkitson.com

You could never accuse Ashley Tisdale of not changing up her look. First the High School Musical 3 star updated her natural nose, and now she’s swapped her trademark honey-blonde locks for a lighter look. Ashley turned up at Randy Jackson Presents America’s Best Dance Crew last night, with back-up dancer boyfriend Jared Murillo in tow, debuting light blond locks streaked with platinum highlights. We think the style is perfect to welcome in spring, but we want to know what you think. Tell us: Do you like Ashley’s lighter color, or should she stick with a deeper hue?

Some of our favorite stars lit up the stage at last night’s American Music Awards wearing the night’s brightest trend, shimmering platinum dresses. As much as we love a little sparkle, we usually think that less is more. But these celebs kept their looks from going over-the-top glam by balancing the glitz with simple silhouettes and spare accessories. High School Musical 2’s Ashley Tisdale arrived in a knee-length dress embellished with a sequin butterfly across the bodice and carrying a chic silver clutch. New mom and newlywed Melanie Brown took a break from rehearsing for the Spice Girls reunion tour in a figure-flattering sequined number and silver sequined shoes that gave the paparazzi’s flashbulbs some pretty fierce competition. And Fergie performed her signature song “Fergalicious” wearing in short Jenny Packham sheath glimmering with multi-sized silver paillettes and an elegant cuff.

Ashley Tisdale tends to have her own trendy, rock ‘n’ roll style — whether it’s on the red carpet or the streets of Los Angeles — that really works for her. But our jaws dropped over her outfit on TRL yesterday — check out those pants! The multi-buttoned style covers her entire rib cage to the point of being empire waisted, and the length is cropped to reveal ankle boots. Wow.

Where can I find Ashley Tisdale’s grey boots?–Dori

Vanessa Hudgens and Ashley Tisdale caused a stir when they stepped out for a shopping trip together. Their totally different, but equally chic street style caused us to love the High School Musical duo even more. Ashley kicked off her all-black look with a pair of grey Seychelle’s ankle boots. Like a true fashionista, Ashley got her Seychelle booties before they land in stores. The rest of us have to wait until October 20th for the “Under Construction” ankle boots, $146, to be available at both shopkiston.com and winknyc.com. If you are not into waiting try these We Who See Suede cut-out buckle bootie, $125, at urbanoutfitters.com.

A couple of weeks ago, we asked you Who ruled the red carpet: Ashley or Vanessa? And the strapless BCBG dress that Ashley Tisdale wore to the premiere of High School Musical 2 had many, many fans. Well, it looks like Kelly Clarkson agreed with you, because she wore the exact same handkerchief hemmed number last night to the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles. To finish the look, both ladies chose to wear simple bracelets and sparkling heels. It’s a tough decision, but we know you can make it: Tell us, who wore their BCBG dress better? Kelly or Ashley?

Yesterday, the whole cast of High School Musical 2 hit the red carpet for the film’s L.A. premiere. As swoony as Zac Efron is, we were firmly focused on the two leading ladies and how great they looked! Ashley Tisdale stuck to her funky and casual style with a handkerchief hem white BCBG dress and sparkling heels, while Vanessa Hudgens continued to work the ultra-glam look with her Jay Godfrey gown and Kenneth Cole Reaction jewelry. We know that having Zac as arm candy might give Vanessa a slight edge in this one, but we want to know what you think of the ladies’s ensembles. Tell us: Who ruled the red carpet at the premiere? Ashley Tisdale or Vanessa Hudgens?
