Emmy Rossum’s No-Stylist Guide to Style

Courtesy InStyle Hair

Speaking of stars whose closets we envy, there’s Emmy Rossum. The Shameless star — and InStyle Hair cover girl — has two walk-in closets off her master bedroom, both totally organized and lined with looks from Donna Karan and Ralph Lauren, plus vintage finds, Target designer pieces and sick accessories.

But the actress hasn’t accumulated all of these clothes through a stylist; at the moment, she’s working solo. “I surf the Web to see the runway shows and then figure out who the fashion publicists are and e-mail them myself,” she tells the magazine.

She also creates some pretty serious wish lists in the form of lookbooks made from magazine tear sheets; there’s one for runway looks she loves, another for hair and makeup.

The star is decidedly less glam on the set of her Showtime series, where she plays big sister with a bad streak, Fiona Gallagher. “It’s changed my thoughts on beauty because Fiona is not about perfection,” she says of her character’s smudged mascara and frizzy hair. “She just looks real, and I think people find that beautiful.” For more with Rossum, pick up the latest issue of InStyle Hair, on newsstands April 6.

Emmy Rossum: Fashion’s More Fun Than a Haircut

Courtesy SELF

She has a well-documented fear of shears, so not surprisingly, Emmy Rossum prefers trying on clothes to experimenting with hairstyles.

“It’s not like cutting your hair,” she tells SELF of playing with fashion trends. “You can always take the sweater off!”

Wearing spring’s “classic-with-a-twist” fashions, the Shameless star appears in a fun spread filled with bold dresses, colorful tops and playful accessories. “I had so much fun in these clothes — they’re feminine with an edge,” she tells the mag.

And as someone who enjoys mixing high-fashion pieces with less-pricey basics, Rossum appreciated the opportunity to pair various prints and patterns in her pictorial. “It’s liberating to mix it up, pairing stripes with florals or wearing two brights together,” she says. “It makes your style unique.” For more with Rossum, grab the February issue of SELF.

Stars Go Mad for Banana Republic’s Sleek ‘Mad Men’ Collection

Mad Men may not be on the air at the moment, but that sexy ’60s style lives on thanks to Banana Republic’s new line of clothes, inspired by the Joan Harrises and Peggy Olsons of the past.

And while we’ve found ourselves going “mad” for the line, it appears Hollywood has, too! Gwen Stefani stepped out earlier this month in the black lace top ($45), which 90210 star Jessica Stroup dressed up for an event over the summer. Giuliana Rancic wore the same blouse in gold for a taping of E! News, too.

Emmy Rossum took her love of lace up a notch, sporting the black knit grace lace dress ($150) on a movie set in Los Angeles. Jaime King rocked the look, too, wearing it in white to a party at Hollywood’s Chateau Marmont.
