We’re still trying to wrap our heads around The Hunger Games‘s Capitol Couture site — Who writes it? Why does it seem so mysterious? — but a recent posting caught our eyes. Rodarte designed a “charming chapeau” (above) that “could indeed be gracing a head of a Capitol socialite at this year’s Opening Ceremonies.”

The tulle-and-knit hat is made of mohair, alpaca and “other various wools” — all (fictionally) courtesy of District 11, the nation of Panem’s agricultural center. The sweater the model sports looks fairly similar to the Rodarte creation Natalie Portman recently wore to the label’s fall fashion show, too.

What do you get when you mix five soon-to-be-huge stars with Seventeen magazine and some stylish spring clothes? A really cute fashion spread spotlighting the leading ladies (a.k.a. tributes) of The Hunger Games. Actresses Leven Rambin (Glimmer), Isabelle Fuhrman (Clove), Jacqueline Emerson (Foxface), Willow Shields (Prim) and Amandla Stenberg (Rue) recently came together to model the latest denim trends for the magazine, and had a blast reuniting.

“[The shoot] was definitely a good time,” Fuhrman tells PEOPLE. “We played a lot of music and danced around. That’s always so important because we became such close friends over the summer [while filming], so we talk about boys and music.”

Watch that lighter, Cinna! Entertainment Weekly has an exclusive first look at Katniss Everdeen (Jennifer Lawrence) and Peeta Mellark’s (Josh Hutcherson) flammable black Hunger Games unitards — and though unlit, they’re pretty cool. The costumes, designed in party by Everdeen’s stylist Cinna (Lenny Kravitz), are eventually set aflame, and the two young stars dazzle the people of Panem as they ride through town the night before the games begin.

Last month, InStyle asked several designers to imagine the fiery costumes, with Christian Siriano, Charlotte Ronson and Nicole Miller creating super-cool yellow, orange and red interpretations of the look. Though we’ll have to wait until the film’s release on March 23rd to see the costumes aglow, this first look is definitely getting us excited. Tell us: How did you envision the flammable costumes?

Pink poufs, big braids, out-there dos — there were lots of crazy hairstyles mentioned in The Hunger Games books, and bringing those looks to life was quite the challenge for Linda Flowers, lead hairstylist on the set of the first film.

“There was so much hair-color work — more than any movie I have ever worked on,” Flowers tells BeautyHigh.com. But the volume of work was exciting, too. “There were no guidelines of what this future looked like style-wise, so I knew I could be creative,” she adds.

Christian Siriano: Kate Middleton Makes Fashion ‘Look Very Effortless’

He’s dressed Taylor Swift, Heidi Klum and Rihanna, but there’s another famous lady Christian Siriano is dying to get his hands on: the Duchess of Cambridge.

And though his high-fashion frocks would look lovely on the newlywed, Siriano wouldn’t go too crazy if given the chance to dress her.

“I think she has become so chic and classic and sophisticated, and I would want to keep it that way,” he told PEOPLE recently at Waterford’s Live a Crystal Life party in New York. “That’s what I think is great about her — she’s not a daring [risk] taker but what she wears is beautiful and elegant. She makes it look very effortless, too, which I really like. I think that women should dress that way.”

While he hasn’t dressed Kate yet, there is one Kat he recently designed for: Katniss Everdeen, heroine of The Hunger Games trilogy. “I haven’t [read the books],” he admitted. “But everyone in my office has. So when I had to do this sketch, they had to explain to me the big scene, because I was like, ‘I don’t understand.’ They were telling me the story and everyone in the office was like, ‘Oh my god, it is amazing, you have to read every book.’”

So is the series on the star’s reading list? “I kind of have to read it now,” he said. “Maybe over the holidays I will.”

Designers Imagine the Hunger Games’s Fiery Costume

Katniss Everdeen lights up the opening ceremonies of The Hunger Games in a daring pyrotechnic unitard the people of Panem love. And while we’ve all imagined what the dress might look like in our own minds, we’ll have to wait until the movie hits theaters to see the finished product.

However, InStyle decided to get ahead of the game, inviting designers to sketch their visions for Everdeen‘s fiery costume. Christian Siriano, Christian Cota and Charlotte Ronson (sketch at left) seem to stay truest to the book, though designs by The Blonds, Rachel Roy (who includes the teen’s Mockingjay pin in her ensemble) and Tadashi Shoji are equally impressive.

Ronson included a spot for Everdeen‘s treasured bow and arrows in her design, and wanted the cape to “appear like a fire running through the forest.” Head on over to instyle.com to see all 12 designer interpretations, and tell us: How do you envision Everdeen’s opening ceremonies look?

She’s really getting into character! After revealing her new Hunger Games look on the cover of Entertainment Weekly on Wednesday, actress Jennifer Lawrence stepped out in New York City Thursday sporting the brunette tresses signature to her character, Katniss Everdeen. The choice to cast Lawrence, formerly a blonde, drew skepticism when it was announced in March. But the willingness to change her hair color definitely shows some dedication to the role. “I have a huge responsibility to the fans of this incredible book, and I don’t take it lightly,” she told reporters in March. “I will give everything I have to these movies and to this role to make it worthy of Suzanne Collins’s masterpiece.” Lawrence, nominated for an Oscar for her work in 2010′s Winter’s Bone, can next be seen in X-Men: First Class, out June 3. Tells us: Do you prefer Lawrence as a blonde or brunette?
