"I've always wanted to be a brunette... in a town of blondes it makes me look more exotic," Katherine Heigl once told us. Looks like she finally took the plunge! "She wanted a change," explains her hairstylist, Campbell McAuley. "She likes the way it looks." McAuley reveals that the Grey's Anatomy star relied on Beverly Hills colorist Kim Vo to take her hue from sunny to sultry before last night's premiere of The Ugly Truth. So, does this mean Dr. Izzie Stevens got a new 'do too? We'll be watching come September.

Before taking the stage at Vegas hot spot Body English for an impromptu three-song performance, Leighton Meester sipped an Ultimat Dill martini at the Hard Rock Hotel’s new Rare 120 restaurant. Though it has only been open for a few months, the steakhouse is already known for its signature cocktails, created with seasonal ingredients. The secret to Leighton’s Sin City concoction is the homemade Sweet and Sour mix, made with freshly squeezed lime juice and agave nectar.
Ingredients:
• 1 pinch chopped fresh dill
• 3 thinly sliced cucumber slices
• 4 oz. sweet and sour mix
• 1.5 Ultimat Vodka
Directions:
In a mixing glass, gently muddle (a bartending term that means “to mash”) the dill with 2 slices of cucumber. Add sweet and sour mix and ice and shake until frothy. Strain into a martini glass and float the remaining cucumber slice on top.

Rachel Bilson looked like a vision in gold, sporting a metallic blazer and matching shorts at the 3.1 Phillip Lim anniversary party last night. Her eye-catching choice has spurred a new fashion obsession-metallic suiting. Since Bilson's blazer is from Lim's upcoming resort collection, we found this tailored version to hold us over. Take a cue from her and pair yours with a classic black top to avoid shine overkill.

After shooting scenes for the comedy flick Morning Glory on location in New York City, Rachel McAdams got ready to kick back with her latest read, The Omnivore's Dilemma: A Natural History of Four Meals. From fast food to foraged meals, the bestselling book examines the origins of what we eat and how it affects both our health and our planet. Is this a sign that McAdams is cleaning up her own eating habits? "You have to be so strict to be a vegetarian. And I'm only human," the actress has said of giving up her meat-free lifestyle a few years ago. "I fell off the wagon, right into bacon."

It looks like Miranda Kerr has been taking our advice on how to travel in style to heart.

The 2009 Emmy nominees were announced this morning and our vote for Best Costumes in a Series and in a Miniseries, Movie or Special go to... Mad Men and Grey Gardens respectively. We can't get enough of Betty Draper's (far left; played by January Jones) vintage prints and nipped waists on Mad Men. While Grey Gardens's eccentric mother-daughter duo Little Edie (near left; played by Drew Barrymore) and Big Edie Beale (not shown; played by Jessica Lange) wear items from the '30s through the end of the century that mirrored what they wore in real life. To capture the fashion of these eras, "we compiled a lot of research from photos that were out there from Little Edie's modeling days," said the film's costume designer, Catherine Thomas.

The G8 summit may be intended as a meeting of political superpowers but, thanks to the French First Lady, it is now a meeting of fashion superpowers as well. To go with Bruni-Sarkozy's wardrobe of Chanel and Dior dresses, Bruno Frisoni created a Roger Vivier haute couture crocodile bag especially for the style icon. Fancifully called the "Carlalala," the intent behind it is far from frivolous: proceeds from sales of the made-to-order creation will go to the First Lady's favorite charities. Announced the accessories house: "We consider [the design] our small contribution to the G8."

We've been following Michelle Obama’s style choices like hawks since she arrived at the White House, so naturally we're curious to know what she smells like too. According to Fashionweekdaily.com, Creed's Love In White is the scent of choice on Mrs. O's vanity. The eclectic fragrance is made up of orange zest from Spain, white jasmine from Italy, daffodils from France, magnolia from Guatemala and sandalwood from India-an interesting and worldly mix, much like the jet-setting First Lady herself.

When It Girl Emma Watson wore vintage Ossie Clark on the red-carpet last week we couldn't help but feel a little (okay, a lot) jealous. The flowing, flattering pieces from the '70s designer have long been the sought-after scores of stylesetters like Sienna Miller and Keira Knightley. Thankfully, the recently relaunched line (which retains the rich-hippie look of the original without the eau de mothball) is now being sold exclusively in the U.S. by Madison Los Angeles. The new designs don't come cheap, but stylist Rachel Zoe considers a classic Ossie gown an investment piece: "It's just easy and you can wear it for the rest of your life." On a budget? T-shirts emblazoned with original sketches are available from British site my-wardrobe.com for under $100.

Last night we spotted Jessica Szohr wearing a dress from designer Anna Sui's forthcoming collection for Target at a Louis Vuitton bash. "My personal style is simpler than Vanessa's," Szohr told us earlier this summer. That explains why the ivory "Tablecloth" dress she wore is actually from the part of Sui's collection that pays homage not to the eclectic Vanessa, but to queen bee Blair's more demure taste in fashion. Dress like your favorite Gossip Girl (Jenny and Serena are also represented) when the collection hits Target stores on September 13.

The Spanish label Mango just released photos from its fall 2009 campaign starring Scarlett Johansson and animal prints are definitely on the menu. The '80s-inspired shoot features a sultry-looking Johansson wearing cozy knits with tank dresses, lots of leather and fall's must-have silhouette of strong shoulders and a narrow bottom half. The sexy star follows in the footsteps of her Vicky Cristina Barcelona co-star Penelope Cruz as the face of the label. Johansson certainly upheld the brand's sexy image, but now we are just left wondering whether she will design a namesake line for Mango, just like her superstar predecessor.

The Spanish label Mango just released photos from its fall 2009 campaign starring Scarlett Johansson and animal prints are definitely on the menu. The '80s-inspired shoot features a sultry-looking Johansson wearing cozy knits with tank dresses, lots of leather and fall's must-have silhouette of strong shoulders and a narrow bottom half. The sexy star follows in the footsteps of her Vicky Cristina Barcelona co-star Penelope Cruz as the face of the label. Johansson certainly upheld the brand's sexy image, but now we are just left wondering whether she will design a namesake line for Mango, just like her superstar predecessor.
