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!" -Bronwyn Barnes 06 of 29 Design Your Own Azzaro Gown Kevin Mazur/WireImage; Courtesy of Azzaro Couture just got personal.

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. * See more Gossip Girl style. - Joyann King 13 of 29 Fashion Week Sneak Peek: Tracy Reese Courtesy of Tracy Reese; Stephen Lovekin/Getty Tracy Reese wants us to have a spring in our step-literally!

Gustavo Caballero/Getty; Courtesy of Sacks.com; Courtesy of Barneys.com 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. * Sylvia Bag, $1795; visit saks.com.* Gino T-straps, $865; call 888-222-7639. -Bronwyn Barnes 18 of 29 Style On Set: First Photos of SJP in Sex and The City 2!

I can count the times I have worn it and I almost always regret it when I see it in pictures the next day."

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. - Joyann King 25 of 29 Twitter Q&A: The Secret to Longer Lashes Courtesy of Talika; Imaxtree (2) 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.

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. - Joyann King 28 of 29 Is Red The New Black? Axelle/Bauer-Griffin; Gilbert Flores/CelebrityPhoto 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.
