Reese, Courteney and More Dish on Their Frightening and Furry Halloween Costumes

They’re creepy and they’re kooky….at least Reese, Courteney, and McDreamy and their kids will be on Halloween. The famous Avon faces ringing your bell that night won’t be making a sales call, but rather, they’ll be trick or treating with their children. “My son Darby is into skeletons and anything with skull and crossbones,” presenter Patrick Dempsey told PEOPLE at The Avon Foundation for Women Benefit at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York Tuesday. “They’ve been practicing for Halloween for about a month now.” And their daughter is also going for the dark side. “My daughter is going to be the gothic princess skeleton,” added McDreamy’s wife (and Avon’s Global Creative Color Director) Jillian Dempsey. “We’re going as the Addams Family,” chimed in Courteney Cox Arquette, also a presenter. And her little daughter Coco? “She’s going to be Wednesday,” said Cox, while husband David is going to be Gomez. Not everyone is that settled, as the evening’s co-host, Reese Witherspoon, claimed she didn’t know yet what the kids would dress as on Halloween. “But I’m going to be a monster,” said Witherspoon. “I found a great furry costume and I had to buy it.” And even those trick or treating without little ones are getting into the spirit, with Lauren Conrad making her own clown costume. “It just sounded fun,” she said. “And I figured it was the only costume that I could wear with flats. I can wear tennis shoes. You get tired of heels!“ – Jeffrey Slonim

Whose Style Do You Like Best?

Limelight, Landov, Startraks (2), Fame

With their head-turning signature looks, these five women have captured the fashion spotlight — and the attention of the StyleWatch editors — this year. Diane Kruger is able to pull off edgy leather jackets and showstopping dresses with equal finesse. With colorful cardigans and bold jewelry, Michelle Obama has brought a sense of fun to First Lady refinement. Reese Witherspoon adds polish to simple, flattering staples — versatile dresses, easy tops, boyfriend jeans — with chic accessories. Rihanna always keeps us guessing: a bold-shouldered suit one day, a sexy mini the next, while Vanessa Hudgens has her boho look nailed, giving sweet tops, basic jeans and cute dresses a cool new spin. Tell us: Who’s your favorite? Who else would be on your best dressed list?

New Fragrance Alert: Reese Witherspoon to Launch “In Bloom”

Courtesy Avon

Reese Witherspoon is the next Hollywood star to join the ranks of celeb perfumers like Paris Hilton and Halle Berry, announcing today that she plans to launch her first signature scent for Avon. In Bloom by Reese Witherspoon will be a gardenia, magnolia and jasmine scent, and the star’s inspiration for the feminine floral was close to home. “In developing In Bloom, I found myself drawn to the scents of my childhood in Tennessee,” explains Reese. “We had a great big magnolia tree in the back yard, and it’s that beautiful white blossom that inspired the perfume.” But while the scent references the actress’s past, she wanted it also to be a clear reflection of her present. “In Bloom is indicative of where I am in my life today,” she says. “I’m feeling very strong and independent, and so happy, so full of life. The fragrance truly captures that feeling­­ — it’s very sensual, very romantic and alluring.” You’ll still have to wait to try the Avon scent, which won’t launch until November of this year, priced at $34 for a 1.7 oz. eau de parfum. Tell us: Are you looking forward to Reese’s fall fragrance launch?

Reese Witherspoon’s Oscars Gown: Love It or Hate It?

Gary Hershorn /Landov

Reese Witherspoon has thrilled us with her award show looks over the years, from her vintage Christian Dior to collect her Best Actress Oscar to her sexy yellow Nina Ricci at the Golden Globes the following year. And when the surprise presenter took to the stage at tonight’s Academy Awards, it was no exception. The star chose a daringly fashion-forward Rodarte gown with a billowing ombre skirt and an asymmetrical beaded bodice. We love that Reese is supporting a young American label — Rodarte is designed by two twentysomething sisters in California. Reese is one of our Best Dressed picks, but it is more avant-garde than most. So we want to know: What do you think of Reese’s edgy look? Vote in our poll below!

We’ve been stocking our wardrobes with Target’s designer collaborations like Loeffler Randall and Gryson, and a collective thrill just went through our office as we heard that the latest brands to join in on the fun are celeb-favorites Anya Hindmarch and Sigerson Morrison. Stars like Reese Witherspoon, Lucy Liu and Angelina Jolie can’t get enough of Hindmarch’s luxe bags — and now starting October 12th, so we will (at a lower price, of course). And we drooled over Naomi Watts’s innovative woven Sigerson Morrison sandals at a premiere last month — and we can look forward to similarly chic styles from the New York design team when their shoe line hits Target October 12. Images of the lines won’t be available until September, but don’t worry, we’ll definitely keep you posted! In the meantime, don’t miss the current Rogan for Target collection.
