After taking a lakeside dip on a recent vacation, country crooner Taylor Swift (left, at the lake) took to her Twitter account to declare, “Beach hair is glamorous. Lake hair is not.” We hear you, Taylor! To get sexy, salt-water curls-whether you’re at the shore, pool, or Great Lakes this summer-try an anti-frizz curl enhancing cream, like Living Proof Wave Shaping, Curl Defining No Frizz Styling Cream ($24; at sephora.com). This high-tech formula contains a non-silicone molecule that weightlessly coats strands to repel moisture-induced flyaways and prevent limpness. Just apply a quarter-size drop to damp hair, working through from roots to ends. Next, twirl sections around your fingers, then quickly blast with a blow-dryer for shiny, natural-looking ringlets that last.

Kristen Stewart took a break from the Italian set of New Moon to attend the MTV Movie Awards, but she didn't leave her character's comfy-casual style far behind. While she looked stunning in a red Yigal Azrouel dress, she made a statement by pairing it with a pair of Converse sneakers. JustJared.com has reported it was a last minute replacement for pumps after she twisted her ankle, a trick she must have picked up from her Twilight character, Bella. In the film Bella injures her leg before prom and accessorizes her dress with a walking cast and Converse sneaks.

After meeting at the MTV Movie Awards, Miley Cyrus and Project Runway alum Christian Siriano took to their Twitter accounts to express admiration for one another. "Um, Miley just said she follows me on Twitter!" Siriano, who provided fashion commentary for the event, exclaimed after the tween sensation admitted she'd come "this close" to wearing one of the dresses he'd sent her for the occasion. (She opted to wear Moschino Cheap & Chic instead.) "@csiriano of course I follow you! Thanks so much for all the amazing designs! Next event i'm yours!" Miley Tweeted in reply. If that's the case, we'd love to see Miley rock a copper-colored silk charmeuse dress (left) from Siriano's fall 2009 collection.

How do stars like Twilight's Ashley Greene go from airport casual to red carpet glamour in a matter of hours? Preparation. "We fitted her way in advance because of her hectic New Moon schedule," says Greene's stylist Ilaria Urbinati, who styled her for MTV Movie Awards. "We had to alter the dress," she said of the originally straight-cut Dolce amp Gabbana dress. After accessorizing with a neon clutch and a dash of vintage beauty, Greene was red-carpet ready just 24 hours after arriving from Italy. "The dress felt very old school, that's where the idea for the hair and jewelry came from," said Urbanati. "The neon clutch gave it a little edge."

Kristen Stewart Steals Bella’s Style
Kristen Stewart took a break from the Italian set of New Moon to attend the MTV Movie Awards, but she didn't leave her character's comfy-casual style far behind. While she looked stunning in a red Yigal Azrouel dress, she made a statement by pairing it with a pair of Converse sneakers. JustJared.com has reported it was a last minute replacement for pumps after she twisted her ankle, a trick she must have picked up from her Twilight character, Bella. In the film Bella injures her leg before prom and accessorizes her dress with a walking cast and Converse sneaks.

Miley Cyrus and Christian Siriano Bond on Twitter
After meeting at the MTV Movie Awards, Miley Cyrus and Project Runway alum Christian Siriano took to their Twitter accounts to express admiration for one another. "Um, Miley just said she follows me on Twitter!" Siriano, who provided fashion commentary for the event, exclaimed after the tween sensation admitted she'd come "this close" to wearing one of the dresses he'd sent her for the occasion. (She opted to wear Moschino Cheap & Chic instead.) "@csiriano of course I follow you! Thanks so much for all the amazing designs! Next event i'm yours!" Miley Tweeted in reply. If that's the case, we'd love to see Miley rock a copper-colored silk charmeuse dress (left) from Siriano's fall 2009 collection.

Ashley Greene's 24-hour Transformation
How do stars like Twilight's Ashley Greene go from airport casual to red carpet glamour in a matter of hours? Preparation. "We fitted her way in advance because of her hectic New Moon schedule," says Greene's stylist Ilaria Urbinati, who styled her for MTV Movie Awards. "We had to alter the dress," she said of the originally straight-cut Dolce amp Gabbana dress. After accessorizing with a neon clutch and a dash of vintage beauty, Greene was red-carpet ready just 24 hours after arriving from Italy. "The dress felt very old school, that's where the idea for the hair and jewelry came from," said Urbanati. "The neon clutch gave it a little edge."
