A year after launching her Abbey Dawn collection for juniors at Kohl’s stores, punk princess Avril Lavigne is extending the line to include clothing for younger girls as well. The Abbey Dawn children’s line will debut in two weeks and will be a cuddlier version of the singer’s own rock and roll style, featuring layered tees with friendly skull graphics and comfy leggings. “We have a really cute zebra hoodie with ears,” she says, “and I’m like, ‘Can I fit into the extra-large? Because I really like these!’” In addition to helping kids find their inner bad girls, Lavigne will debut a new fragrance with Proctor & Gamble called Black Star this summer. “It’s really me in a bottle,” she says of the perfume, which took two years to create. She’s also recording an upcoming album, due out in November. Lavigne says that her fashion and beauty endeavors are a reflection of her own evolving personal style. Although she’s traded in her tomboyish skateboard sneakers for high heels, she makes sure to hang on to her style roots. “I mix rock and roll elements with high-end stuff now — I love Chanel,” she says. “I’m just more feminine now, but my style still has everything I’ve ever liked.”–Christina Yoon

After showing some serious skin in Candie’s spring ads, Britney Spears covers up in chic dresses and jeans for the upcoming fall campaign. And that’s not the only place you’ll see the pop superstar sporting the affordable line. Britney will even wear Candie’s in her new music video, “Radar.” “I was so excited to wear Candie’s in my ‘Radar’ video,” says Britney in a press release. “I especially loved their jeans and cute dresses which were perfect for the theme of my video.” In her new video, Britney becomes intrigued by a handsome player at a polo match who ultimately gets caught in her radar. Footage from the video will also appear in a Candie’s television commercial which will debut later this summer along with the print ads in September magazines. Check out the video for “Radar” and shop Candie’s exclusively at Kohl’s department stores. Tell us: What do you think of Britney’s new Candie’s Ads?

Last year’s hottest look for young male stars was definitely the boy bangs, but this summer, it’s all about a closer crop and lots of forehead. First, Chace Crawford debuted a new look on the set of Gossip Girl, that the show’s costumer revealed to InStyle.com was actually a mistake that worked out well! He got it cut in England. It was just supposed to be a trim,” says show hairstylist Jen Johnson. “It’s shorter and pushed back off his beautiful face. We think it was a great mistake!” And now, Zac Efron has also cut off his trademark side-swept bangs for a fresh and clean do that he showed off over the holiday weekend. Is it coincidence that both heartthrobs gave up their bangs for similar new crops? Maybe, but that doesn’t stop us from comparing them. Vote in our poll below!

The internet has been buzzing since Jezebal.com picked up reporting from this week’s Us Weekly that Kanye West was interning at the Gap. However, a rep for the Gap dispels the rumor, telling PEOPLE, “Regarding Kanye interning at Gap, this is not true.” And that’s not the only rumor about Kanye’s fashion career that’s floating around. It’s been reported that the sneakers the hip-hop star designed for Louis Vuitton are already sold out. But it turns out that only three of the seven designs went on sale yesterday in England and the rest will not be out until late July, when they will be available worldwide. Louis Vuitton tells PEOPLE, “We did a lot of presales but they’re not sold out yet.” We can’t wait to see what Kanye’s next actual fashion move is.
