We’re sure Jessica Chastain is terrific in Broadway’s The Heiress, but for us, the real exciting drama is seeing what coat she’ll be wearing outside the stage door. From trenches to jackets, luxe wool numbers to casual toppers, she seems to have a coat in every color and for every occasion (plus the world’s biggest coat closet: we lost count at the 15th new one).

And because we love a challenge, we decided to narrow down her many coats to our five favorites. At far left, she’s in a rich camel Michael Kors coat; the second and third shots are two of her four Burberry trenches (lucky girl!); the fourth is another Michael Kors number (which she also owns in black); the last is a cute toggled duffel perfect for a breezy N.Y.C. day.

Now we need you to do the hard part: which of Jessica Chastain’s chic coats is your favorite?

SAG Awards Beauty Breakdown: Lips & Tips

Jan/28/2013 at 12:30 PM ET

The real winners at the SAG Awards? Celeb makeup artists, who apparently found their star clients willing to go bold with their beauty looks on Sunday night. We spotted lipstick in a range of shades from neutral to very vampy; when it came to manis, stars sported everything from classic ballet-pink tips to Pinterest-approved nail art. Here are the 12 ladies whose looks we plan to copy soon — plus the exact lip and polish color they picked.

Anne Hathaway: Makeup artist Kate Lee tells PEOPLE that the deep rose color she used on the best supporting actress winner (Chanel Rouge Coco Hydrating Creme Lip Colour in Taffeta Rose, to be specific) was essentially a more intense version of the star’s pout’s natural color. And while her makeup was subdued, Tom Bachik went funkier with her nails, using two coats of L’Oréal Paris Colour Riche Nail in I Will! to serve as the base for the butterfly accents on her middle and ring fingers.

Fashion Police’s George Kotsiopoulos Reveals His SAGs Best Dressed List

Jan/28/2013 at 09:00 AM ET

He may not be as tough a critic as his co-star Joan Rivers, but E! Fashion Police‘s George Kotsiopoulos always has something to say about what the stars are wearing. And the stylist is telling us what he really thought about the fashion at Sunday night’s SAG Awards.

Though there were plenty of gorgeous gowns on the red carpet, Kotsiopoulos, who is also a Suave Beauty spokesman, noted that very few stars took a major risk. His explanation: “Sometimes it’s better to play it safe and not too trendy, because if you win, you don’t want to look back at the picture and say, ‘What the hell was I wearing?’” Kotsiopoulos tells PEOPLE.

Check out his five best dressed celebs of the night (which happen to overlap with some of ours!), and be sure to roll over each image to get details on the star’s gown and accessories.

Jessica Chastain in Alexander McQueen: “It’s all effortless — the big [Water by Harry Winston] diamond necklace, her gorgeous skin and the dress,” Kotsiopoulos says. “She’s a movie star — tried and true.”

And the Official Hairstyle of the SAG Awards Is …

Jan/27/2013 at 10:30 PM ET

When it comes to the red carpet, the updo is to hair what a black gown is to fashion. But after the classic evening style was a no-show at the Golden Globes, we wondered if it would make a strong comback at tonight’s Screen Actors Guild Awards.

Instead, it was all about glamorous waves with a deep side part, as seen on Amanda Seyfried, Jennifer Lawrence, Julianne Moore, Jessica Chastain, Naomi Watts, Tina Fey and Amy Poehler – just to name a few.

Scroll down to check out all of the stars’ hairstyles, and while you’re browsing roll over the photo to get more details about the look!

The Lipstick Report: Golden Globes Edition

Jan/14/2013 at 01:00 PM ET

Red was the color of the night when it came to gowns, but there was hardly a red lip to be seen on any star at the Golden Globe Awards on Sunday night. Instead, we spotted a sea of pink, plum, fuchsia and nude pouts; here are the 11 ladies whose lip colors we loved and the exact shade they were wearing.

Amy Adams: To ensure that her delicate blush Marchesa gown didn’t wash her out, Adams’s makeup artist, Stephen Sollitto, went for a richer lip. He applied Laura Mercier Crème Smooth Lip Colour in Plum Orchid underneath the line’s Lip Glacé in Raspberry for a hint of shine. The results? One pretty pink pout.

This week’s People’s Choice Awards and Critics’ Choice Awards offered stars lots of choices (ha!) in the fashion department — chances to experiment with prints, designers, trends and more. Overall, we liked what we saw … and think we’ll be seeing lots more of two specific trends as red carpet season rolls on. Let’s get to the lowdown:

Up: Eye-catching embellished necklines. We’re not talking Jessica McClintock prom-style here, thankfully, but several stars — including Jessica Chastain, Emily Blunt and Naomi Watts — showed up to this week’s awards shows in otherwise classic gowns that boasted beautiful, sparkly beading up top. And since red carpets always seem to attract major bling, we expect to see more gowns of this style in the high-fashion weeks ahead.

It’s been a year of ups and downs for Katie Holmes, but she’s going out on a high note. Her effortlessly chic outfit earned top honors this week, making her the final best dressed star of 2012.

The stellar look consisted of a fuchsia Narciso Rodriguez dress and champagne bow-accented heels, topped off with an unexpected olive-green military-inspired trench worn to The Late Show with David Letterman in N.Y.C. The winning ensemble was a bright departure for the star, who tends to opt for more subdued colors. And the risk paid off because more than 6,000 PEOPLE.com readers gave it their style seal of approval.

In a close second is Jessica Chastain (who had the number-one spot last week) in a leopard-print mini and a black coat, plus tights and lace-up boots, which she slipped into after her Broadway show in N.Y.C.
