Rebecca Romijn ‘Likes Her New York Fashion’

She’s a California girl, but with husband Jerry O’Connell starring in Broadway’s Seminar right now, Rebecca Romijn is swapping her sundresses for snow boots while living in New York. “Rebecca’s got her coats out,” O’Connell told PEOPLE last week. “She’s got her boots out. You can’t be wearing flip-flops in this city.”

But the actor says his wife is just fine with the change. “She likes her New York fashion. It’s a lot different than California.” In fact, he’s hoping the east coast look rubs off on twin daughters Dolly and Charlie, almost 3, too. “I grew up in New York City and I want my girls to have that New York edge,” he said. “I want them to be cool city girls.”

Jessica Chastain ‘Could Never Be a Model’

Though she looked pretty darn model-y in amethyst Oscar de la Renta at the Hollywood premiere of The Help (left), Jessica Chastain says she can’t compete with the pros.

“There are some dresses that are so beautiful, the detail is so magnificent, but I can’t give them the justice they deserve,” she tells ASOS magazine. “It’s tough because I’m never going to look better than a catwalk model in a dress,” she continues. “I’m not a model, I could never be a model.”

Despite these self-professed shortcomings (she’s only 5-foot-4), the redhead beauty says she still loves fashion. “I always loved [it],” she laughs. “I just couldn’t afford it.”

Flash forward five years, and the star, who also appeared in this year’s The Tree of Life alongside Brad Pitt, has a healthy appetite for the stuff. “I absolutely adore [Louis] Vuitton,” she gushes. “I went to the show last year and it was such a celebration of the female body” — something she says she knows a little about. On the Mississippi set of The Help, “we would work all day, then go and eat because we had to gain weight,” she explains. “All of your clothes get too tight … But there’s something really sensual about being heavier, you feel like a painter’s muse.”

Rumer Willis: It’s a ‘Bummer’ I Can’t Wear Mom’s Shoes

Rumer Willis has admitted to raiding mom Demi Moore‘s closet in the past, but there’s one item she can’t ever get away with borrowing: shoes.

“She’s a size-and-a-half smaller than me in shoes, so I can’t wear any of them,” she told PEOPLE recently at Arcade Boutique’s second annual Autumn Party at the London in West Hollywood. “It’s kind of a bummer.”

However, Willis wouldn’t necessarily want to be in her mom’s Jimmy Choos and Christian Louboutins all the time anyway: the actress said she doesn’t wear heels during the day very often. “When I see women walking around L.A. in heels I just wonder how they can do it,” she shared. “I’m baffled.”

That goes for New York City, too, where walking rules. But Willis explained that when she’s spending time in Manhattan, her style changes to fit the city’s vibe. “You almost become this very different person,” she said. “I don’t know what it is.”

She may put on the ritz for the red carpet, but when it comes to daytime dressing, Katie Holmes is all about building blocks.

As a guest editor on WhoWhatWear.com, the star highlights her must-haves for fall, including a cropped blazer from her own line, Holmes & Yang. “It has a great fit and goes with my jeans or over an evening dress,” she says. And though the stylish topper has a hefty price tag of $2,125, Holmes insists it’s a worthy investment: “I wear it about four times a week.”

Stacy London Shares Five Style Tips for Fall

True confession: we’ve dreamed of having Stacy London come revamp our closets. She’s stylish, sassy — and comes with a $5,000 gift card! But if we can’t have one-on-one time with the fabulous fashion expert, we’ll take a few words of wisdom. The What Not to Wear host graciously answered some questions for us recently during the Westfield Style Tour in Los Angeles; here’s what she had to say:

What key pieces should every girl have in her wardrobe for fall?

This season, the key pieces for fall are the leather skirt, the laminated jean, colored fur (or a neutral tone for a more conservative look), the relaxed pant and a bright pop of bold color (be it a coat, skirt or bag!). Accessories play a major role in completing your look, so be sure to add in pin-dot tights, an oversized satchel, brightly colored platforms and a geode necklace.

One of the season’s hottest pieces: the maxi skirt. How do you style it?

The maxi skirt personifies what we call “new bohemian” for fall, along with colored knits, floppy hats, boots and intricate beaded jewelry. Pick and choose how you want to make this look work for your lifestyle. Try pairing a maxi skirt or dress with motorcycle boots, a relaxed cardigan and beaded earrings or with a darker wedge heel and red lipstick for evening.

Get Graphic in Isabel Marant’s Tribal Prints

Celebs have always looked to French label Isabel Marant for a boho take on casual dressing — hits from the past include ankle wrap “Gava” pumps and go-with-everything suede booties — but this week, the stars can’t get enough of the brand’s tribal-print separates!

On Sunday, Cheryl Cole paired $425 printed corduroy “Silo” skinnies with a cropped boucle jacket for a stylish jaunt through LAX. The next day, mama-to-be Hilary Duff topped the brand’s $1,170 georgette dress with a sculpted blazer for a visit to Good Morning America. Later that same day, Nicole Richie sported a pair of $660 “Renell” jeans with gladiator booties and all-black basics while out in L.A.

We’re thinking about adding some tribal prints to our wardrobe, but are a little sticker shy. Tell us: What do you think of stars’ new Marant tribal trend?
