Drew Barrymore

If you aren’t a floral person, but solid colors just don’t seem festive enough for a holiday weekend — try plaid instead! Stars like Drew Barrymore and Lauren Conrad already are rocking this preppy staple, which can easily take you from a relaxed backyard barbeque to a night out with friends. Still a little chilly where you are? Try a version with sleeves, or if the heat is already on in your neck of the woods, try a strappy sundress. Check out a few of our favorite finds (we even found the look for less than $25!).

Not only is she a successful actress and producer, but Drew Barrymore can now add CoverGirl to her lengthy resume! Drew will not just be the face of the new campaign, but she will also be co-creative director for the tv commercials, debuting in January 2008. Esi Eggleston Bracey, Vice President and General Manager, CoverGirl Cosmetics in North America, says “we wanted to honor Drew’s passions as a filmmaker and are thrilled she is not only lending her beautiful face to CoverGirl but also lending her artistic talents as the co-creative director of the ad campaign.” But don’t worry — the actress isn’t exactly switching careers. “I leave the makeup and product up to them, that’s their expertise,” she told The Associated Press in a phone interview from the set. “What I want to do is honor the tradition of CoverGirl but hopefully bring myself and my personality into it, as well as some edgy fashion-forward thinking and positivity to it.” As for becoming a model, the actress joked, “What girl doesn’t fantasize about it?”

Turns out that Drew Barrymore and Kirsten Dunst don’t just have the same taste in guys, they also have the same taste in sunglasses! We already knew that Drew loves her white-rimmed Linda Farrow Vintage sunglasses, and it turns out that Kirsten does too, wearing them all the time during her Hawaiian getaway this week. We think the glasses are a fun throwback to the wayfarer look — we told you it’d be a hot trend! — and add a funky edge to any outfit, even a bikini! We leave it up to you. Tell us: Who do you think wears the sunglasses better? Drew or Kirsten?

Drew has been glamming up the red carpet promoting her new movie Music and Lyrics, co-starring Hugh Grant, but on camera the star is relaxed and casual in one of her favorite brands of jeans: Joe’s! Drew exclusively wears Joe’s throughout the whole movie, like the “Billy” Socialite she wears in a scene to the left. Off set, Drew has been a Joe’s fan since the company launched in 2001. Accroding to a Joe’s rep, the starlet loves mostly all the fits and rinses. Other than the Socialite, some of her favorite styles are Lover, Cigarette, and trouser fits in clean, medium-dark, indigo rinses and neutral overdyes such as black, charcoal and white.

We love the edgy style of Drew Barrymore and salute her womanly curves, as it seems, does British designer, Giles Deacon who chose the actress to front his ‘Gold by Giles’ collection for British high street chain, New Look (think H&M or Forever 21). The designer bagged the A-lister when a stylist pal of his bumped into the actress in a hotel lift and the deal was done. The 35 piece collection includes jeans, oversized sunglasses, vivid print tunics and this stunning silk beaded dress, which is a steal at just £45 ($88). “Despite her Hollywood associations, she is ballsy and has a playful ‘child-woman’ appeal,” says Deacon. Adds a New Look representative: “She always looks like she’s having a good time.” We couldn’t agree more. The line launches in Europe on March 13 but sadly for us, the e-commerce won’t be up until May.
