With the Oscars a mere two days away, we’ve got red carpet attire on the brain. And if star style continues as it has been for the past week, we’ll be seeing be lots of stiff hairstyles — and possibly a few midriff sightings! — on Hollywood’s biggest night. And surprisingly, we’re betting to see fewer nude dresses than ever before. Here’s why:

Up: Slicked-Back Hair. Have certain stars been borrowing their boyfriends’ hair gel? Anna Paquin, Emmy Rossum and Jennifer Lawrence all have sported severe, almost wet-looking hairdos, a major departure from the soft waves that ordinarily dominate the red carpet.

Style Rx: Cast of ‘Spring Breakers,’ Take These Looks Down a Notch

Feb/21/2013 at 05:00 PM ET

Who: Ashley Benson, Vanessa Hudgens and Selena Gomez

Where: At the Paris premiere of Spring Breakers

Diagnosis: This was a particularly challenging case for our style surgeons, because there are so many problems presenting themselves. Each star suffers individually from an acute case of “Look at Me!” syndrome, with the end result being that all three of them next to each other causes dizziness and bewilderment in onlookers. Additionally, each star’s look has one toxic element that’s poisoning the rest of their ensemble, and we’re not sure they can recover.

Prescription: A strong dose of the style equivalent of a Valium to tone down every outfit. Once each look has been heavily sedated, the disorienting side effects should abate considerably. As a preventive measure for the future, we recommend the girls exchange their stylists’ numbers to ensure that this over-the-top red carpet clashing does not recur.

Tell us: How would you “cure” these stars’ style?

Vanessa Hudgens: It’s Hard to Look Good in the Cold

Jan/29/2013 at 09:00 AM ET

Vanessa Hudgens seemingly has a great life, bouncing from coast to coast to appear at red carpet events and awards show. But managing to look equally stylish in one sunny city and one snowy spot? Not so simple.

“It’s horrible,” Hudgens said of dressing for frigid New York City. “I bundle up like crazy … it’s not easy.”

The Spring Breakers star, who chatted with PEOPLE at the launch of juniors line L’Amour Nanette Lepore for J.C. Penney in Manhattan last week, said warmth is her highest priority in the winter. “I literally wear like seven layers, I don’t care if it looks good,” she shared. “I’m like functionality over fashion when it comes to cold.”

In Los Angeles, she’s used to “wearing short-shorts and bikini tops,” she said, but at the party, Hudgens opted for black slacks, a pastel peach blouse and a faux leather L’Amour jacket. “I can’t live without my leather jacket. I wear it like every day,” she shared. “It’s so easy to throw on.”

Perhaps we’ll find some faux leather pieces in the star’s impending clothing line, which she revealed she’s in the process of creating now. “I got myself a sewing machine and I’m working on it in my spare time,” she explained. Expect to see that signature boho style Hudgens adores, plus a little influence from Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, her fashion icons. As she said, “I want my line to be really personal and perfect.”

Fashion flashback alert! The hippie-chic look is back in full force these days, thanks in part to the resurgence of floral headpieces.

We first saw the accessory at the Coachella Music Festival, where Vanessa Hudgens and Paris Hilton both sported Cult Gaia rose crowns ($75). Although we weren’t shocked to spot the topper at the festival since Woodstock-worthy ensembles are encouraged, we were surprised to see these babies on the red carpet.

Do your plans for Monday evening include a grill? Two questions: Can we join you? And what are you wearing?

We won’t be offended if the answer to the first question is ‘No,’ but we’d love to help you choose an outfit! Here are three of our picks for the perfect Memorial Day ensemble:

Take a cue from Vanessa Hudgens and try a high-low dress that’s breezy and basic. Her “Windsong” frock by Local Celebrity is $115; paired with a waist-cinching belt, statement necklace and simple sandals, it’d be the perfect pick for a day with pals. (Just don’t forget a cardigan in case it gets chilly.)

Vanessa Hudgens Keeping Her Chic New Year’s Resolutions

Vanessa Hudgens is sticking to her New Year’s resolution. The Journey 2: The Mysterious Island star donned a tangerine Tibi dress to The 5th Annual Women In Film Pre-Oscar Party in Beverly Hills recently, and told PEOPLE it’s all part of the 2012 plan.

“My New Year’s resolution is to start wearing colors, and with this I just wanted to do something simple and classy,” she explained.

The bright hue wasn’t the only change for Hudgens: she recently swapped her hair extensions for a naturally shorter do. And the neck-grazing style definitely suits the actress — for now. “I was sick of having stuff in my hair,” she said. “I love change [and] I can’t keep the same hairstyle for very long. It’s just fun to reinvent yourself.”

Perhaps all this change came about because of Hudgens’s recent travels with boyfriend Austin Butler. “I went to Rome for the first time,” she revealed of their trip, “and I feel more inspired than I’ve ever been.”
