Forget shortcuts: this summer, stars are going long. Hayden Panettiere and Jessica Alba are the latest celebs to take their hair to new lengths with extensions. Panettiere debuted her updated look at the Vans Custom Culture Event in New York City on June 2. The actress, who chopped her locks in April of 2010 because she “likes abrupt changes,” added wavy blonde strands to her head, returning to her Heroes roots. Alba, expecting her second child with husband Cash Warren, turned up at the Covenant House California Gala in Los Angeles on Thursday with brunette tresses that flowed well past her shoulders — a major contrast to the shorter style she sported as recently as late May. The ladies join Christina Ricci as the latest to lengthen their locks for the warm-weather months. Tell us: Would you rather go long or short for summer?

There are two new names on the tips of Tinseltown tongues: those of Australian design team camilla and marc! Just last month, the brother-sister duo captured the hearts of fashionistas including Ashley Tisdale, Rachel Bilson and Hayden Panettiere, and the stars definitely did the designers proud. “She keeps the look well balanced and effortlessly chic,” Camilla Freeman-Topper tells PEOPLE of Tisdale, who paired her $460 “Blind Call” dress with a LOFT necklace. As for Bilson, “Rachel’s got something going on … her style is individual and unique. I love seeing girls take one of our pieces and make it their own,” Freeman-Topper gushes of the $690 “Equinox” frock she wore out in N.Y.C. And though Panettierre selected an overtly-feminine look, the designer thinks she perfectly accessorized the $1,010 “Cantel” mini. “Coupled with the hair, makeup and delicate shoes, Hayden made the look stylish and sophisticated,” she praises. We know Hollywood is hot for the brand, but want to know what you think. –Justine Harman

Pint-sized Scream 4 star Hayden Panettiere seems to be a designer’s dream. The actress can work any look — long, short, couture, casual — and is a style chameleon, coolly changing hairstyles and makeup in the blink of an eye. So can an actress who’s sported so many looks and hit as many red carpets pinpoint her three favorite dresses ever? The answer is yes. In a recent chat with PEOPLE, Panettiere says this chocolate halter, which she wore to the Elton John AIDS Foundation Oscar Party in March of 2010, is one of her best. “This Amanda Wakeley dress is so ethereal and feminine and easy to wear,” she says. “I love the Grecian style.” Another obsession? The turquoise and black lace number she sported at the 2010 CMT Awards. “I’m really into jewel tone dresses. This Pucci dress is a fun way to wear bright color, and its tight fit made it modern.” Panettiere rounds out her top three with a white stunner she wore to Elton John’s 2011 post-Oscar bash. “I love this Luca Luca dress,” she says, “because it was inspired by old Hollywood with a contemporary twist, which makes it youthful and elegant.” Tell us: Which of Panettiere’s red carpet looks do you prefer? –Reporting by Justine Harman

When Vanessa Hudgens and Hayden Panettiere hit the beach yesterday in L.A., it wasn’t just to soak up the rays. The two beautiful actresses (and Neutrogena brand ambassadors ) joined forces to announce the new Neutrogena Wave for Change campaign, a charitable initiative that lets teens help the company decide how to distribute up to $200,000 from sales of the Wave Sonic Power-Cleaner and Oil-Free Acne Wash Pink Grapefruit product sold for disaster relief, education and environmental causes through GlobalGiving. Through August 23, visitors to the Neutrogena Facebook page can take a quiz to see which cause they’d like to support, which will help determine where funding eventually goes. “Often people want to participate, but they don’t know how so the fact Neutrogena is opening the door and kids are getting to be a part of something and help the world is an amazing thing to be a part of,” says Panettiere. Hudgens seconds the feeling, telling PEOPLE that “It’s so cool that Neutrogena is letting the fans go to Neutrogena’s Facebook page to take a quiz to determine how the money raised for charity is being distributed. By taking a few minutes to join in, everyone can make a big difference in the world.” Go to Facebook.com/Neutrogena to take the quiz today!

Hayden Panettiere On Her Spontaneous New Do: ‘I Like Abrupt Changes’

When it comes to her hair, Hayden Panettiere is proving herself quite the drama queen. After dying her tresses auburn and then chopping her shoulder-grazing locks into a pixie cut earlier this year, the Heroes star rocked an even shorter, back-to-blonde style at Wednesday’s 2010 CMT Music Awards. “It wasn’t scary,” the 20-year-old actress explained to PEOPLE of taking the plunge. “I’m pretty spontaneous. I like abrupt changes–it excites me.” Dressed in an asymmetrical turquoise-and-black Pucci dress, the petite vixen cut a striking figure — anchored, of course, by the bold new cut. “I love it — it’s daring and it’s easier for me,” she said. “You always try to find your own sense of style, so when I chopped my hair off I felt like I was my own self in my own way. I didn’t feel like I was trying to emulate anyone. I felt very me.” Tell us: What do you think of Hayden’s cut? –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley; reporting by Eileen Finan
