Jennifer Aniston: I Need to Stop ‘Playing it Safe’ on the Red Carpet

Jennifer Aniston Red Carpet Style

With those sculpted limbs, an army of LBDs and gleaming locks, Jennifer Aniston is timeless — and logic defying.

“I don’t feel my age,” she says in the March issue of InStyle. “I feel young every day. It’s in the spirit.”

Crediting cardio, a balanced diet and an arsenal of must-have products for her looks, the Wanderlust star confesses she is a creature of habit. “On the red carpet, it’s time for me to start doing something different,” she says. “I play it very safe because I just want to be comfortable … if I could wear a jersey tank that went down to the floor, I would.”

The natural brunette is also considering ditching the golden hue that has become her trademark. “I’ve been thinking about dyeing my hair a dark brown,” she says. “I feel it would be healthier.”

Gwyneth Paltrow Prefers Wrinkles to Botox

She’s been quite candid about the work she’s put into maintaining her fabulous figure, and Gwyneth Paltrow is happy to get frank on the subject of aging, too. “I’ll take my wrinkles,” she admits in March’s revamped Harper’s Bazaar. “I don’t like the Botox thing.”

What she does like? In addition to her husband and children — whom she opens up about in the issue — simply food. “I eat whatever I want,” she says. “I like bread and cheese and wine, and that makes my life fun and enjoyable.” But it’s not always about indulgence; the cookbook author often goes on detoxes to restart her system, and even sells a cleanse on her goop.com website.

Perhaps that’s how she’s always fit into gorgeous designer dresses, from her glimmering Elie Saab and short Stella McCartney to her tummy-baring Emilio Pucci and the infamous Alexander McQueen, worn to the 2002 Oscars. “I loved it,” she says of the controversial gown. “But I think the hair was a mistake. I shouldn’t have had it braided.” Read more on Paltrow in the March issue of Harper’s Bazaar and at harpersbazaar.com/gwyneth.

Emmy Rossum: Fashion’s More Fun Than a Haircut

She has a well-documented fear of shears, so not surprisingly, Emmy Rossum prefers trying on clothes to experimenting with hairstyles.

“It’s not like cutting your hair,” she tells SELF of playing with fashion trends. “You can always take the sweater off!”

Wearing spring’s “classic-with-a-twist” fashions, the Shameless star appears in a fun spread filled with bold dresses, colorful tops and playful accessories. “I had so much fun in these clothes — they’re feminine with an edge,” she tells the mag.

And as someone who enjoys mixing high-fashion pieces with less-pricey basics, Rossum appreciated the opportunity to pair various prints and patterns in her pictorial. “It’s liberating to mix it up, pairing stripes with florals or wearing two brights together,” she says. “It makes your style unique.” For more with Rossum, grab the February issue of SELF. Tell us: How do you make your style unique?

Dakota Fanning: I Don’t Care What People Think of My Style

Dakota Fanning, who recently confessed that she and 13-year-old sister Elle are “fashion equals,” strikes a seductive pose on the February cover of Elle UK — just don’t call her out for it.

“You can’t worry about what other people think, especially if you’re a known person, or sometimes you won’t be able to get out of bed,” she tells the mag. Case in point: her very first day at NYU, where she is a freshman, the 17-year-old selected a pleated skirt, velvet Marni shoes, black knee socks and an asymmetrical Alexander Wang sweater.

And while studying may take precedence over red carpet preening these days, Dakota doesn’t mind sharing the spotlight with her little sis (though she does mind sharing closets). “Usually it’s her sitting in pajamas waving goodbye as I go off someplace,” she says. “But this last year it’s been me home by myself in sweatpants, saying ‘Bye Elle’ as she goes off somewhere all dressed up.”

Why Kendall Jenner Can’t Wait to Walk the Runway Again

Kendall Jenner Teen Prom

Kendall Jenner is going to prom! The up-and-coming model graces the pages of TeenPROM‘s 2012 issue, dishing on everything from her once-introverted ways (“I used to be really shy around the cameras,” she admits) to her beauty secrets (at 16, she’s already wearing eye cream nightly, thanks to advice from her sisters).

But what the reality star really loves to talk about is fashion. Mentioning that she draws style inspiration from sibs Kourtney, Kim and Khloé, Jenner admits she used to dislike high heels. “I was so tall, and would tower over everybody, but now I actually love them,” she shares. “Height doesn’t really matter to me anymore. I feel wearing heels makes everything look better.”

Reflecting on outfits past — “Kyile and I used to wear the craziest stuff on our show when we were younger,” she confesses — the teen fashion queen doesn’t seem to have a favorite designer or style of dress. “Honestly, I wear whatever stands out to me,” she says, adding, “I love color. [It] stands out a lot more.” (She also loves jewelry; WWD reported Tuesday that Jenner and sis Kylie will launch their own line of gems in 2012.)

Dakota Fanning: I’m Learning to Wash Clothes

Dakota Fanning, Elle Fanning Mario Sorrenti for W

“Before Somewhere, they asked me if I was Dakota Fanning, because we looked alike,” Elle Fanning recalls in the December issue of W. “I’d say, ‘No, I’m her younger sister.’ And they’d say, ‘Oh, okay.’ But now I think they are starting to realize I’m my own person.”

It’s true: Elle has had quite the year, with a breakout role in Super 8 and a fashion star that’s on the rise. She even met Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld during Paris Haute Couture Week in July on her first-ever trip to the City of Light. “When I found out that I was invited to the Chanel show — that was the loudest I’ve ever screamed in my life,” she says. “That was the best day of my life.”
