Finally Someone Listened to Our Fashion Tape Advice
True Blood newcomer Janina Gavankar is really freakin' gorgeous. (Like girl-crush gorgeous, don't you think?) And even though she's essentially unknown in Hollywood, she walked the red carpet at the premiere party like a pro. She wore a great periwinkle dress that was cut down to there we're talking ab-baring-and totally pulled it off.

Evan Rachel Wood Joins the Pixie Club
This is the Summer of Short Haircuts, and True Blood's Evan Rachel Wood is trying out the trend. She debuted a spiky pixie cut at last night's HBO premiere, and we think the look really suits her. She has delicate features that work with an edgy style like this one-and she opted for feminine makeup (bold pink lipstick and a swipe of eyeliner) to balance it out even more. Now, of course we're dying to find out if this has anything to do with her character on the show.

How to Get the Celebrity Glow
Last night's Critics' Choice Television Awards featured plenty of sexy stars, but Cat Deeley, the host of So You Think You Can Dance, and Sarah Michelle Gellar, who's starring in the new show Ringer where she plays identical twins (yup, both of them), looked seriously beautiful. While they both wore pretty, summery dresses-Cat opted for white lace and Sarah went with floral-printed chiffon-their fresh, dewy makeup was the best part. Neither one fell into the awards-show trap of going over the top. Instead, it was all about gorgeous skin with lots of dewiness.

I Tried it Thursday: Zumba (And a Really Great Deodorant)
Yes, this is an actual photo of me taking a Zumba class. (I'm wearing a purple top and black pants, and I'm strategically hiding behind much better dancers.) I'm definitely not the dance-workout type, but I was curious about Zumba-people are ob-sessed. So when Degree hosted a class for beauty writers to test their new "motion-activated" deodorant(the more you move, the better it works), I jumped at the chance-all in the name of investigative journalism.

Weekend Rehab: At-Home Hair Glaze
I haven't gotten my hair cut in months (like eight months), and the situation is getting dire. Every single strand is a split end. I even started trimming them myself like Maria Menounos, but there are just too many-I get distracted and can loose an entire afternoon snipping away.

What to Learn From Jennifer Lopez's Wardrobe Malfuntion
It feels like we just blogged about Khloe Kardashian's nip slip on a Fox morning show, and now Jennifer Lopez has gone and done the same thing in Germany. (She really should have read our four easy tips to avoid a wardrobe malfunction.)

Calling All Tennis Fans: Sexy Wimledon Style Moments
The tennis championships at Wimbledon are in full-swing through July 3rd, and even though it isn't considered a major fashion event, superstar players Maria Sharapova (left) and Serena Williams may be changing that. While they're both known for wearing some intense fashion on the court, they looked fantastic on the red carpet at the opening party last night.

Look Hot This Weekend: Go Curly Like Rihanna
July Cosmo cover star, Rihanna, has worn her hair styled just about every imaginable way. (Check out some of our favorite RiRi looks here.) Last night in Minneapolis, she opted for full-on ringlets, and we couldn't be more inspired by her sexy, curly look.

Gorgeous Beach Hair—Times Two!
Film festivals always seem glamorous, but few seem as cool as the Maui festival (yes, in Hawaii) going on right now. The movies are screened under the stars-picnic-style-and the celebs are laid-back in beachy clothes with undone hair. Case in point: Olivia Wilde and Kate Mara with their matching wavy locks.

Cameron Diaz's Bad Teacher Style is Very, Very Good
Cameron Diaz, Cosmo's June cover star, has been traveling around the world promoting her new comedy, Bad Teacher. As the title implies, her character is kind of a disaster, but of course that's never the case with real-life Cameron-she always looks good (read: perfect!). Her style for this particular round of press appearances has been tailored-a nod to the teacher theme, perhaps-but also all about her incredible legs. From shorts to rompers to super-skinny jeans, she's been showing off her gams every high-heeled step of the way.

Is Turquoise the New It Hair Color?
First, Lady Gaga wore a turquoise bob to the CFDA Awards last week, and now Ke$ha's rocking a turquoise stripe down the back of her blonde mane. While we've seen neon hair before (Avril, anyone?), there's something so fresh and cool about turquoise in particular. Maybe it's the summery, tropical feel of the color, or the fact that it would look awesome matched to a bold blue mani. If we were to try neon hair, this would definitely be the shade.

How to Get Va-Va-Va-Volume Like Rose Byrne
We loved (translation: loved to hate) Rose Byrne in Bridesmaids. Her character was catty, emotional, entitled...and also really freakin' gorgeous. Rose hit the red carpet in Sydney for the Australian premiere of the movie looking just as good-if not better-than she did in the film. Her style was all about sexiness-from the siren-red dress to her big, bombshell, wavy mane.

Kate Middleton Rewears Clothes Just Like the Rest of Us
We know that the Kate and Pippa Middleton obsession is getting a little out of hand, but just when it seemed like they had reached a level of unattainable perfection, Kate did something real: She stepped out (pic on the left) in the same blue brocade jacked she was photographed wearing in 2009!

Who Knew A Website Could Be So Romantic?
While the current news headlines make most men seem like lying, cheating jerks, Tiffany & Co. has launched a website, whatmakeslovetrue.com that does the very opposite. The site is a collection of real-life love stories, timeless advice for couples, the best date locations in NYC and an interactive map where you can submit your own special spots. It's a whole lot of romance on the Internet. Trust us, even if your BF isn't springing for a little blue box anytime soon, this is a fun, mid-afternoon distraction.

Look Hot This Weekend: Rock the Kate Middleton
Kate Middleton-aka Catherine, Duchess of Cambridge-always looks stunning. She has a very clearly defined signature style that includes flattering dresses, silky, blown-out hair and natural makeup with the focus on the eyes-never the lips. (In fact, we can't remember ever seeing her in bright lipstick-even though it's very on-trend right now-only neutral gloss.)

Loving the Range of Makeup Looks at the CMT Awards
When it comes to getting dressed up, there aren't any must-follow makeup rules-anything goes. At the CMT Awards last night, we spotted everything from natural faces to full-on falsies-and then some! Cosmo's May cover star, Hayley Williams from Paramore, opted for a super-minimal look: pretty skin and a sweep of eyeliner. Instead, it was all about her bold red mane and cool, dyed-blonde roots. Nicole Kidman, who's been hanging out quite a bit on the country music scene with husband Keith Urban, went middle of the road with natural makeup (plus some mascara and shimmer) and a dressed-up ...
