Zoë Saldana: Super-Short Hair May Be In My Future

Zoë Saldana‘s close with her longtime hairdresser, Mara Roszak, but her confession in the latest issue of InStyle Hair may be enough to give Roszak nightmares.

“If I want to chop off my hair, I’ll take scissors and do one side before I even go to the hairdresser,” she says. “It’s all about trusting my instincts. Plus, that way I can’t change my mind!”

And what’s the likelihood that we’ll see the perpetually stylish star with Hollywood’s hottest hairstyle, the pixie, sometime soon? “At some point I might just want to chop it all off and go really short,” she says. “I’ll just wake up in the morning and, well … you know.”

Also on Saldana’s tress wish list: To return to her naturally curly texture. “It’s been eight months since my last straightening treatment, and I’m going to let it all grow out,” she tells the magazine (see her changing looks here). “It’s been a long time since I’ve woken up with my hair looking like an Afro. I can’t wait to have that again.”

Zoë Saldana: ‘We’re Prone to Tacky Every Now and Then’

Skin is not in for Zoë Saldana.

The actress, 34 — with positive reinforcement from her stylist, Petra Flannery — prefers to keep things covered on red carpets, though that wasn’t always the case.

“She taught me that you don’t necessarily need to wear less to look sexy,” Saldana told PEOPLE on Wednesday at The Hollywood Reporter and Jimmy Choo’s 25 Most Powerful Stylists luncheon in West Hollywood, where she celebrated Flannery’s No. 2 ranking, as well as their magazine cover together.

“You go through those phases where sometimes you feel super sexy and you want to wear something tight and short. We’re prone to tacky every now and then,” she said. “[Petra] always makes me see it on another end, and you end up feeling so much sexier. We always choose class over anything else.”

But it doesn’t matter what the style is that Saldana wears — she just wants it to be her own.

Oscars 2013: The Editors Pick Their Favorite Fashion Moments

Feb/26/2013 at 03:30 PM ET

As soon as we’d pulled together the Best Dressed list, each style editor at PEOPLE.com immediately used this tool to make her own personal top five list and share it on Facebook. (If you haven’t made yours yet, what are you waiting for?!)

As it turns out, we each gave the coveted number-one spot on our lists to a star because we were won over by one very specific part of her look. Below, we call out that one special thing that caught our eye and prompted us to give the complete look our style seal of approval.


Style Director Andrea Lavinthal: Brandi Glanville’s Neckline: I picked this one before the red carpet even officially started. The Real Housewife, who arrived so early I suspect she slept outside the venue the night before, stunned (no, really, I was stunnedin a plunging gown that she designed herself. Okay, okay, I’m kidding (though I couldn’t resist another opportunity to talk about the craziness that is her gown). My real vote goes to Charlize Theron, specifically the shade of her Dior Haute Couture creation. It’s proof that white doesn’t always have to look bridal-y.

The Oscar Dresses You Didn’t See

Feb/25/2013 at 12:45 PM ET

After the last Oscar is handed out, actresses rush to change out of their elegant ballgowns and slip into something sexier (and more dance-floor-friendly!) for the after-parties. And since most stars’ second looks rarely get as much screen time as their red carpet numbers, we’re spotlighting our favorite post-show dresses.

Jennifer Lawrence: After tripping in her over-the-top Dior creation when accepting her trophy for Best Actress, the Oscar winner changed into something she could get down in — a second-skin metallic Calvin Klein Collection dress with a structured bodice. (Side note: Does the sexiness and simplicity of this gown remind anyone else of a certain other Calvin Klein Collection design Lawrence once wore on the red carpet?)

Celebs Can’t Wait ‘Til Sunday to Get Prabal Gurung for Target, Either

Normally when we’re envious of a celeb’s wardrobe, it’s because they’ve got a closet full of pricey pumps or the It Bag that we won’t be able to afford no matter how many pennies we pinch. But in the case of Zoë Saldana, Elizabeth Olsen and Rashida Jones, it’s because they’re the first stars to step out in the covetable Prabal Gurung for Target collection — three days before it hits stores.

Gurung’s longtime fan Saldana was spotted in L.A. wearing a $29.99 sweatshirt from the collection. That sweatshirt was one of the first things to sell out at an N.Y.C. shopping preview event (attended by Olsen in a $39.99 dress and Jones in a $34.99 blouse from the collection) that was packed with VIPs clamoring to go on the indoor carnival rides, get a glimpse of Ne-Yo and, yes, get first dibs on clothes from the line.
