Rumer Willis Talks Films and Fashion

She played a geek-turned-goddess in the 2008 comedy House Bunny, now Rumer Willis is a nerd who kicks some butt in the horror movie Sorority Row, which hits theaters on September 11. She's got a chick flick and a slasher film on her resume, so it's time for television. "I'm working on 90210 right now. I play a high school journalist, but I don't really know what my storyline is yet," says Willis. "But it's a great set and a fun cast." Rumer also told us she'd like to act in a dramatic period piece someday, which makes total sense considering that she loves to get dressed up. "I have a fashion problem; I love clothes," she admits. "I would love to design a line of clothing for both men and women and maybe jewelry too. But one thing at a time!"

In an interview for WWD Vanessa Williams said, "With the economic situation what it is, we scaled down in terms of the type of clothing that we're getting... we are being mindful of the budget and waiting for markdowns on Ugly Betty."

Rebecca Taylor

Style On Set: Gossip Girl Goes Flapper

Spotted: The entire Gossip Girl cast clad in ensembles better fit for a 1920s saloon than present day Manhattan (think Chuck Bass in head-to-toe pinstripes). We love Taylor Momsen's gangster-style jumpsuit and Hillary Duff's jeweled headband, but it's Leighton Meester in black pearl necklaces and a netted cloche that gets our style vote.

Style on Set: Carrie Channels Flashdance

On the set of the Sex and The City sequel

yesterday, Sarah Jessica Parker's third costume change had her channeling Jennifer Beals in the '80s classic Flashdance in an off-the-shoulder sweatshirt and permed hairstyle. Is this a look at a younger Carrie's move to the Big Apple? If the vintage luggage and vehicles spotted on-scene are any indication, it looks like we might be on to a plot line.

Stay tuned for more on-set updates! Until then, get your style fix with our coverage of the first Sex and The City film.

Style on Set: Carrie Loves Her Louboutins!

The first Sex and The City movie focused on "labels and love" and so far the sequel appears to be all about the Louboutins. After dazzling 5th Avenue in her crystal-encrusted Pigalles, Carrie hit the streets of N.Y.C. in a Halston Heritage dress, accessorized with a pair of yellow t-strap spikes and a pink hobo bag, both by the famed French designer. Footwear aficionados still have a chance to track down the heels, but if it's the hot pink handbag you're after, you're out of luck. The bright hue is a one-of-a-kind, but is available in gray. Speaking of L-words, we noticed that Carrie has swapped her trademark horseshoe for a four-leaf clover pendant-must be her new lucky charm.

The Olsen Twins Channel Madonna

The Olsen twins

must have been inspired the statement-making Louis Vuitton rabbit ears Madonna wore to the MET gala earlier this year. The designer duo sported Maison Michel lace bunny ears at the Opening Ceremony Japan party yesterday; Ashley in the Mickey Mouse Ears and Mary-Kate in the Rabbit Ears. They offset their silly headbands with sophisticated black dresses and chic Prada accessories. While we aren't certain rabbit ears work for everyone, we are always a fan of having fun with fashion.

Twitter Q&A: The Secret to Longer Lashes

Q: @LuxuriousLola asked: How can I grow longer lashes?
A: Depending on the amount of time and money you're willing to invest, there are a variety of ways to get longer, thicker lashes. Last December, the FDA approved Latisse, a dermatologist-prescribed growth treatment that promises to increase the number of eyelash hairs your body produces in 12 to 16 weeks. (You've probably seen the commercials with the lovely Brooke Shields.) Not ready to take the prescription route? Try Talika Lipocils eyelash conditioning gel, a combination of lecithin and plant extracts that gives you fuller lashes in 28 days. For a quick (and temporary) fix, try Avon's SuperFULL mascara.

Kate Moss For Topshop Fall Collection In Stores Today

Kate Moss

's newest collection for Topshop is in stores andonline today. The collection is a more grown-up interpretation of Moss's signature rock and roll style with faux fur jackets, classic striped sweaters and plenty of look-at-me cocktail dresses. Our personal favorites are the Flame Mesh Halter Dress (right) and the metallic Jacquard Bandeau Dress (left)-both add the perfect amount of high-voltage style to nighttime dressing.

Is Red The New Black?

Yes, according to the red carpet at the Daytime Emmy Awards, where black dresses were shunned for the more heart-pounding hue. Tyra Banks wore a one-shoulder Rachel Roy coral-red sheath, while Jenni Garth opted for an orange-red gown that was pure old Hollywood glam. So say goodbye to your collection of LBDs (at least for now) and embrace the newest go-to-the little red dress.
