Gwen Stefani admits it: It’s not easy to look like her.

“The makeup goes on every day,” she confesses in the November issue of InStyle. “Even if I’m not going anywhere.”

The Old Hollywood look is inspired by a mix of muses including Lucille Ball and Marilyn Monroe — “I do my roots as often as [she] did hers” — as well as figuring out what worked at an early age. “When I was 17, my grandmother got me a gift pack with all these different colored lipsticks, and one of them was burgundy,” she tells the mag. “I tried it on and looked in the rear-view mirror and said, ‘That looks good.’ I’ve worn it ever since.”

Being married to a rock star is an added incentive; she often dresses to impress hubby Gavin Rossdale. “It was like my own runway. I thought, ‘You are being such an idiot!’” she admits of trying on five outfits before leaving the house for a date. Apparently, Rossdale is a hard act to follow: “He looks good in everything.”

Perhaps Stefani’s creative indecisiveness has trickled down to her two sons, who are fashion plates in their own right. “I like them to be creative and have fun,” she says of 5-year-old Kingston and 3-year-old Zuma. “Sometimes they’ll get dressed and it’s horrifying. But they often come out in outfits that are awesome.”

When we saw Rachel Zoe’s son Skyler in baby-sized sunglasses, we literally went bananas. So sweet, and so chic! But seeing Zoe herself in similar frames? Too much! The celebrity stylist, who returns to Bravo next month on season four of The Rachel Zoe Project, recently protected her little guy from the sun in circular shades similar to hers. We knew he was going to grow up as a stylish kid — he already rides in a Missoni Bugaboo stroller — but who knew he’d be so fashionable at just 3 months? Let’s just say, we die.

Jennifer Lopez has gotten twins Emme and Max started early in modeling—but all for a good cause. The actress-singer recently posed with her tots, who will be 3 next month, in ads introducing Gucci’s new kids’ collection because there was a strong charity connection, not because Emme and Max were clamoring for the gig. “They’re like, ‘Mom, hello! Hair and makeup!’ ” Lopez, 41, jokes in an interview that aired Tuesday on The Ellen DeGeneres Show. “No. Actually, Frida Giannini from Gucci said she was going to launch the Gucci’s kids line, and they were going to do it in conjunction with UNICEF, and would we do it?” Read more in our Moms & Babies section.

At age 4, Suri Cruise is already a seasoned fashionista. Katie Holmes and Tom Cruise’s daughter has been spotted in everything from Burberry dresses to silver pumps. And it turns out that she’s not only picking out her own clothes, but she’s not afraid to give her famous parents style pointers. “She’ll really tell me [what she thinks],” Holmes told ELLE.”“Like today I’m wearing brown suede pants, and she said, ‘I don’t like your pants.’ But then she’ll say, ‘You’ve got to wear these shoes.’ Or ‘That’s so pretty, Mom. Wear that.’ She’s got a great eye.” The actress, who co-designs her own clothing line, Holmes & Yang, has obviously passed on her flare for fashion to Suri and the two are often spotted shopping together. “The other day we came out of a store, and she said, ‘I want to go there,’ pointing at another store quite a distance away,” Holmes notes. “In that store was the dress that she wanted. I said, ‘Wow, Suri. You’re something. You picked that out from a football field away.’” To read more from Katie’s cover interview, go to elle.com. — Alla Byrne
