Kiernan Shipka: I Don’t Buy My Designer Dresses; I Mostly Just Look At Them Online

Kiernan Shipka, who plays little Sally Draper on the hit show Mad Men, may only be 13, but she’s already got one of the Hollywood closets we’d most like to raid.

“When it comes to clothes, I always look for something that’s fun and represents me,” Shipka told PEOPLE at Wednesday’s Chanel dinner honoring artists at the Tribeca Film Festival in New York. “My style is modern and elegant with a little more of a twist. I look a million times better in something that I love instead of something that is just pretty and not my style.”

The young fashionista works with a stylist to help choose her chic, age-appropriate outfits, but ultimately she’s the final word on what she wears.

“I make sure to pick out everything and I approve all of it myself,” she says. “Fashion has always been something I’ve loved since I was little. I could spend all day looking [at] and talking about clothes.”

The teen has worn Oscar de la Renta, Valentino and Dolce & Gabbana to premieres and awards shows, so we had to ask: Are all those dresses just hanging in her closet?

“No, I don’t buy all this stuff,” she says with a laugh. “I mostly just look at them on the Internet. My regular wardrobe consists much more [of items] from Rag & Bone and a couple of good t-shirts from the Gap.”

And it sounds like a little Mad Men influence may have rubbed off on her, too. “I love to go vintage shopping in Los Angeles.” she says. “That’s my obsession right now.”

Tell us: What do you think of the tween’s chic style?

Gwyneth Paltrow: World’s Most Beautiful – and Last Night’s Most Nearly Naked

Gwyneth Paltrow Sheer DressFrank Micelotta/Invision/AP

Gwyneth Paltrow, world’s most Googled star? Between nabbing PEOPLE’s World’s Most Beautiful crown and the jaw-droppingly sheer dress she wore to the Iron Man 3 premiere, we’d guess she’s well on her way.

For Wednesday’s Audi-sponsored event, she selected an Antonio Berardi dress that left little to the imagination — about how intense her gym regimen must be or whether she was wearing any undergarments, as the 360° view gave more than a glimpse at the star’s ridiculous derrière.

PHOTOS: See more killer star style from all angles in “What’s Her Best Side?”

Why’d she pick it? “You have to ask my stylist,” she said. “I think because it’s sexy. You’ve got all the sheer bits but it’s sort of ‘superheroes’ on top.”

And of course, it shows off the body part that trainer Tracy Anderson calls “my masterpiece,” adding “I’m the most proud of her butt, that’s for sure. Because that was a transformation.” And today, we can all appreciate the results of all that hard work.

Tell us: What do you think of Paltrow’s daring premiere dress?

Sofia Vergara, Shapewear Entrepreneur? It’s True!

We don’t often mention Sofia Vergara in the same sentence as Jill Zarin and Bethenny Frankel, but Modern Family‘s fictional housewife is joining both Real Housewives in the shapewear market.

The star is expanding her sexy Kmart line to include nine pieces of foundation garments, which Vergara calls “so sexy.”

“Shapewear has always been a part of a woman’s wardrobe, but I wanted it to look cute, not like a horrible girdle,” Vergara tells WWD. “It’s for the everyday woman who wants to look good without spending a lot of money on shapewear, earrings or high heels that make her look cute and sexy.”

It’s also for women who aren’t necessarily a sample size, with bustier cups starting at 36C and going to 40D and pieces like thigh slimmers and bodysuits going from M to 2X.

And Vergara knows a little something about the importance of good undergarments, she says in the interview. “Usually, when I go to an event, I wear shapewear,” she confesses. “It’s not to hold anything in, but to smooth everything out … But I do have to wear a bra with everything!”

Vergara’s shapewear collection will hit Kmart stores in June, with prices starting at $14.99. Tell us: Are you excited to see Vergara’s latest project?

Why Is Bobbie Thomas in Shapewear (and Little Else) on National TV?

You likely recognize Bobbie Thomas from her role as Style Editor for NBC’s The Today Show, but you’ve never seen her like this before.

To promote some of the messages in her new book, The Power of Style, the TV personality stripped down to her skivvies (along with some other brave women) for a segment about feeling beautiful before you even put your clothing on.

“I wanted to reveal what was ‘under my dress’ on TV,” Thomas tells PEOPLE, “because it was a way for me to say, ‘Hey, I’ll go first!’ and be willing to do what I was asking other women to do: Accept, embrace, and value yourself regardless of whether you like or dislike what you see in the mirror.”
