Hollywood Crush › Fashion & Style

Still looking for the perfect Halloween costume? Don't fret! Hollywood Crush is here to help! All week long, we'll give you the deets on how to dress like your favorite pop-culture icons (without breaking the bank), in our Halloween Costume How-To column. So before you resort to cutting eye holes in your favorite sheets, check out our suggestions for awesome Halloween get-ups!

The second season of "Jersey Shore" may be over, but with Halloween just six days away, the real fun is about to begin. You don't have to be a genuine guidette to get your GTL on this weekend—follow Hollywood Crush's instructions for total Snookification and you'll out-pouf the pickle queen herself!

Step one: Tan. Tan. More tan. It’s already October, which means any semblance of your summer tan has probably vanished. Snooki would never, ever be caught dead with skin any shade lighter than orange. Try Jergens Natural Glow Medium to Tan Skin Tones Express Body Moisturizer ($9 at drugstores), then bronze your face like it’s nobody’s business.

Today's double feature? A lingerie model and a "Scream" queen. And, no, this isn't the synopsis for the latest fright-night flick (though one lady's outfit did makes us shudder and want to cover our eyes). This week's Style Superstar finds Victoria's Secret beauty Adriana Lima channeling Cinderella and teen star Emma Roberts showing some back at Elle's 17th Annual Women in Hollywood event. Keep reading to find out which one takes home this week's glass slipper.

Emma may be only 19 years old, but she's already a burgeoning fashionista and easily wins this week's best-dressed honors. The young beauty dazzled at the Elle event on Monday in a short, sheer Jenny Packham dress with black beading. The look was total class and a plunging back added just the right amount of interest.

Movies tell us that everything has to be perfect for a girl on her wedding day—even for a low-maintenance girl like Bella Swan. So the task of finding the perfect dress for the "Twilight" heroine has been daunting for the "Breaking Dawn" wardrobe department.

Kristen Stewart told MTV News at the "Welcome to the Rileys" red carpet on Monday night that although she's had some fittings, she still doesn't have a dress for the much-anticipated Swan-Cullen nuptials.

"I haven't put the one on yet," she said.

While she trusts that wardrobe will make the right decision when it comes to the ideal gown, one person in particular gets the final say: the woman who created it all, "Twilight" author Stephenie Meyer.

We have to admit, we were pretty eager to see what Kristen Stewart would pull out for the "Welcome to the Rileys" red carpet in New York last night. After all, the girl earned our fashion stamp of approval at the Spike Scream Awards this past weekend when she arrived in a GUiSHEM Spring 2011 one-shoulder dress, and we had high hopes that she'd win us over yet again.

The actress hit the premiere aiming for old Hollywood glam, in another one-shoulder (hey, if it ain't broke don't fix it, right?), black and beige dress by Valentino. Was it a fashion win? Let's just say...we're torn.

It's not uncommon for us to swoon over celebs' red carpet looks, but more often than not, the dresses we love cost thousands of dollars (a.k.a more than our entire closet). So when we found out that "Vampire Diaries" star Nina Dobrev's look from the 2010 Scream Awards—a chic, long-sleeved, V-neck dress, which made the cut on our best-dressed list, was actually (gasp!) in our price-range, we were shocked!

Just Jared Jr. reports that Nina wore "Marisol in Black Eye" by the always-cool Rock & Republic to the event. Actual cost? $228.00 before shipping! Now, we know that a $228 dress isn't exactly cheap, but for a sleek look straight from the red carpet, it's pretty freaking awesome. Plus, this dress is totally multi-purpose. You could wear it to dinner, work, a crazy party, or of course, in Nina's case, a red carpet affair. To top it all off, since it's simply black, you can keep things interesting by pairing it with a variety of shoes and jewelery for a unique look each time.

So, there you have it. Skip a couple of trips to Forever 21 and you can glam it up just like Nina!

Would you buy this dress?

We wouldn't blame you if you mistook Saturday's 2010 Scream Awards for a meeting of the American Vampire League. I mean, the bloodsuckers were everywhere at the ceremony. From "Twilight," and "The Vampire Diaries" to "True Blood," stars showed up in force to celebrate all things ooky and spooky. Fittingly, the red carpet was flooded with lots of dark blacks and grays, with one-shouldered dresses on the likes of Kristen Stewart and Nina Dobrev, making a serious showing. Of course, not everyone pulled off the latest trends in style. Check out our recap of the evening's best and worst dressed!

We have to admit, we've had quite a love-hate relationship with KStew's closet over the past year, but when we saw her hit the Scream Awards in this short, black-and-gray GUiSHEM Spring 2011 dress, we were instant fans. We loved the one-shoulder look, as well as the surprisingly revealing back. Our only gripe? The hair! We liked it loose, but a little frizz control never hurts. "Twilight" costar Nikki Reed also donned a one-shoulder frock, but hers failed to inspire. Nikki's LBD was unoriginal and ill-fitting (the waist-line for the skirt needed to be lower). Unfortunately, costar Jackson Rathbone didn't fare much better with his attire. Jackson wore an odd mix of items, including a black leather jacket with silver jewelery and ash-brown (or are they gray?) trousers with brown shoes. Hard to wrap your head around, right? Next time Jackson, we suggest sticking to one style from head-to-toe.

One European city. Two lovely actresses. Two very different style slants. Keira Knightley and Hilary Swank were both in London this week for the premiere of their films, "Never Let Me Go," and "Conviction," respectively. Both ladies hit the red carpet in eye-catching gowns, but only one required sunglasses to gaze at (and that's not a good thing!). Keep reading to see who was our Style Superstar and who needs to hire a stylist.

You don't even need to see the front of this dress (though it's pictured anyway), because the back pretty much says it all. Keira rocked a lot of stunning looks while in London this week (including a fresh haircut), but this sophisticated ensemble really put her over the edge, earning her the title of this week's Style Superstar. The Chanel dress is the epitome of elegance, and Keira pulled it off flawlessly.

Robert Pattinson and Taylor Lautner have always been the most high-profile members of the "Twilight" clan, but lately, it looks like the leading men of Forks are being eclipsed (haha! see what we did there?) in real life by one of their supporting actors. Ashley Greene, who got her big break playing the role of Alice Cullen, is suddenly everywhere—canoodling in Hollywood with boyfriend Joe Jonas, opening up her closet for charity, and in a few weeks, cementing her style-savvy status as the host of a new TV special about the fashion industry.

"Fashion Forward: Making It" will air on December 8th on The CW, with Greene leading a behind-the-scenes look at the young designers and celebs who've redefined the fashion industry over the past decade—so if you tune in, keep an eye out not just for famous tastemakers like Marcus Wainwright, David Neville and Tory Burch, but also for style-conscious celebrities like Gwen Stefani and (of course) Justin Timberlake. (Seriously, is there anything that guy doesn't do?)

And while there'll be plenty of glitz, glamor and sequined evening gowns, viewers can expect an eyeful of the gritty business side as well; the show promises a real exploration of what it takes to make it in fashion, from design to branding. Don't miss it!

Is Ashley Greene's new moon rising? Is this the breaking dawn of her career? Okay, okay, sorry. We'll stop.

Long locks are soooo 2009. It seems every starlet in Tinseltown is itching to cut her hair, with actress-singer Ashlee Simpson-Wentz the latest in a line of starlets to make the big cut. Hubby Pete Wentz posted a pic yesterday of the former "Melrose Place" star with shorn hair, adorably writing, "Cute hair mama!" And we couldn't agree more. Ashlee's cut is fresh and fun and much more flattering than her formerly Morticia Addams-like raven locks. But how does it compare to other recent celeb snips, like Emma Watson and Keira Knightley? Take our poll after the jump!

Attention all YouTube sensations, your time is nigh! There have been several examples of YouTube stars breaking into Hollywood—our favorite is Donald Glover who went from "Bro Rape" to "Community," though the most notable is obviously Justin Bieber— but the latest success story is a bit more, uh, fashionable. Sisters Elle, 22, and Blair, 17, Fowler have taken their YouTube popularity (160 million views between here, here, here and here!) to launch their own reality television show.

Deadline has the exclusive that the sisters have signed on with Kinectic Content to take their brand, which developed from sharing makeup and style tips online, to the small screen. They also plan to develop multi-platform programming (think: websites, magazines and the like) to spread their know-how.
