Having a stylish sister definitely has its benefits — especially when you’re a rising star in the spotlight. That’s the case for sisters Kate and Rooney Mara, both finding themselves under Hollywood’s fashionable magnifying glass these days.

“My sister and I, we share a lot of clothes cause we’re relatively the same size,” Kate told FabSugar.com last week during a Michael Kors party in Los Angeles. “We share shoes a lot, although [my feet] are a little bit smaller than hers so I kind of have to put padding in her shoes when I borrow hers, and she has to squeeze into mine.”

The American Horror Story star, whose younger sister stars in the upcoming Girl with the Dragon Tattoo, enjoys shopping for new items just as much as she loves shopping her sister’s closet. “I’m looking for some good booties,” she said. “There are some cool combat boots with studs on them, which I’m obsessed with. I love studs on leather jackets and boots.”

It’s time to put on makeup, it’s time to dress up right! It’s time to look like the Muppets since the film comes out tonight. Yes, The Muppets hits theaters Wednesday, and while we’re super excited to see the film and have fun with Kermit, Piggy and the gang, we’re also excited about the plethora of fun products recently launched to celebrate our favorite fuzzy friends.

M.A.C Cosmetics is honoring the most stylish swine in showbiz with a limited-edition, online-exclusive collection for eyes (top left), which includes Miss Piggy Pink eye shadow ($15), Penultimate eyeliner in Rapidblack ($17.50) and fabulous fake lashes ($15).

Adidas Originals came up with a clever take on its classic Superstar shell-toe shoe (top right, $80), producing it in green suede with Kermit the Frog’s unmistakable collar over the tongue “in honor of the original hip-hop artist,” the brand writes on its site.

Vocal about her distaste for trends, Kirsten Dunst‘s must-have items run the gamut from the traditional to the thrifty.

“I use this as my toiletry bag,” she tells WhoWhatWear.com of seafood exporter Petrossian’s trademark caviar cooler (bottom left, $10). “It looks cute in my bathroom.”

Underscoring her crafty beauty solution, the Melancholia star also confesses to indulging in luxe home accessories. “Yes, I have an adult blankie,” she says of her penchant for sinfully soft $595 Ralph Lauren cashmere throws (top right), which she complements with $45 A.P.C. candles in Jasmine Vert (top left). They are “reasonably priced in the world of high-end candles,” she says. “And they last a long time.”

ShoeMint, launching with a winter/holiday collection, is a collaboration between Bilson, stylist Nicole Chavez and shoemaker Steve Madden — three tastemakers who seem perfectly in sync.

Would You Wear Clear Shoes Like Dakota Fanning?

Dakota Fanning has a sense of style that’s generally spot-on. The young fashionista has relationships with a roster of fabulous designers, and looks put together every time she leaves the house — even if she is just going to class.

But sometimes even the chicest stars can make minor mistakes. Case in point: Fanning wore clear pumps to Marc Jacobs’s spring 2012 presentation in New York in September, a move that’s often considered a fashion faux pas. However, given her age — she’s just 17 — and the light color of her dress, it’s not necessarily an awful decision — maybe she can pull it off. Regardless, we want to know what you think of the look.

Chloë Moretz Lusts After Blake Lively’s Louboutins

Not every 14-year-old gets to spend an evening with Drew Barrymore, Blake Lively, Emma Stone and Chanel creative director Karl Lagerfeld at New York’s Museum of Modern Art. But that’s how Chloë Moretz spent her Tuesday night — albeit with her mother in tow.

“Mom’s a pretty good date,” the actress told PEOPLE before Tuesday’s star-studded tribute to director Pedro Almodóvar. “We look exactly alike and she’s beautiful.”

Moretz’s ensemble was also beautiful: the rising star wore a sparkly black-and-blush Chanel number and black heels. But the outfit came with a couple of complications. “I had to be sewn into it,” Moretz admitted. “There are no clips in the back and these aren’t real buttons.”

The Kick-Ass star has had her fair share of sartorial milestones since hitting the scene: she’s been dressed by just about every big-name designer, and even won an award for her fashion sense at last week’s Hollywood Style Awards. But a major highlight for the teen was trying on Hick costar Blake Lively‘s Christian Louboutins.

Nicole Richie: Fashion Is ‘Not That Deep for Me’

Nicole Richie Personal Style Secrets

With her penchant for oversize sunglasses, sky-high heels and on-trend baubles, it’s understandable that the Accessories Council Excellence Awards named Nicole Richie its 2011 ‘Influencer of the Year.’

Less expected is the House of Harlow designer’s laid-back attitude toward personal style: “It’s not that deep for me,” she confesses to WWD. “It’s whatever I feel comfortable in at that time.”

A seasoned businesswoman, Richie’s first concern is the consumer. “To me, success isn’t measured by dollar signs,” she explains. “It’s really about paying attention to feedback and talking to my customer.”
