Come Christmas, Rooney Mara will make history (and, quite possibly, the biggest movie of her career) when she plays vengeful goth girl Lisbeth Salander in the American remake of "The Girl With the Dragon Tattoo." And while the jet-black locks, extreme haircut and multiple body piercings are all strictly for professional purposes, it's clear from her super-serious interview in November's Vogue that her role has Lisbeth has given her more than just a wild hairdo.

Rooney's photoshoot for the magazine shows a woman who's more grownup, more angular and a whole lot colder than the wholesome-looking college student she played in "The Social Network." And while she'll probably get rid of the piercings and dye her eyebrows back to their natural brown once production is done, she also says that her androgynous role in "TGWTDT" has permanently changed her personal aesthetic:

Ever since filming wrapped on the eighth and final film in the "Harry Potter" franchise, we've been dying to see where its three leading actors would end up next. But while Daniel Radcliffe is lighting up Broadway, and Rupert Grint is... well, Rupert Grint-ing around somewhere, it's Emma Watson who's far and away the one to watch. Finally finished with all things "Potter"-related, and now wrapping work on "The Perks of Being a Wallflower," Emma took time off from her busy schedule to grace the cover of this month's Vogue, do an ultra-glam, vamped-up photo shoot with Mario Testino and open up about where she's headed next.

The thing that comes through most in Emma's emotional and revealing interview is how much she's still trying to figure things out, even though she's one of the most promising and powerful young people in the entertainment industry.

"I have had no control over my life, I have lived in a complete bubble," she said of the decade that followed her casting in the role of Hermione Granger. "They found me and picked me for the part. And now I’m desperately trying to find my way through it."

"Twilight" fans, be forewarned: the hair-tugging, lip-biting, shrinking violet version of Kristen Stewart who you know from the vampire saga is nowhere to be found in this month's Vogue. Instead, the actress sports blond hair and sculpted brows, looking straight at the camera with a very adult mix of vulnerability and confidence. And in her interview with the magazine, it's clear that we're getting a glimpse of what's coming for Kristen once she wraps filming on "Breaking Dawn" and leaves Bella Swan behind.

After years of playing the world's most famous vampire bride, Kristen has seen some big changes—including the total eradication of her private life, probably forever.

"There’s no way to eloquently put this," she said. "I just can’t go to the mall. It bothers me that I can’t be outside very often. And also to not ever be just 'some girl' again. Just being some chick at some place, that’s gone."

Between an Oscar nomination for "Rachel Getting Married," a chock-full shooting schedule of exciting films and that unpleasant little incident in which her boyfriend turned out to be a bona fide white-collar criminal, Anne Hathaway's life over the past few years has been the definition of "dramatic"—both onscreen and off. But professional challenges and personal setbacks haven't stopped the doe-eyed actress from coming into her own in a major way: pushing the limits with emotionally-charged roles, planning for a bright and busy future, and even stepping back into the dating pool after her highly-public heartbreak.

Anne is radiant and glamorous in Oscar de la Renta on the cover of November's Vogue, and in the accompanying interview, her energy shines through. She's about to have a big year, wrapping up the production of "Love and Other Drugs" (in which she stars alongside Jake Gyllenhaal) before diving right into filming for the romantic drama "One Day." Her career has taken a turn for the serious—a departure from her earlier roles as a princess in need of a makeover—and Anne credits her critically-acclaimed role in "Rachel Getting Married" for the transformation.

She’s told us a love story, taken us on a journey through the first day of high school and now she’s showing us her fashionable side. Taylor Swift illuminates the inside of Vogue’s May issue, taking part in a photo-shoot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz and opening up about her exciting new life!

Pictured in a smokey blue dress, laced with glittery sheen, Taylor is rightfully dubbed, “The Dazzler.” She stands out against the somber sky, rocking Victorian inspired boots, her dreamy waves, and of course her guitar. With her 21st birthday in December, she’s growing up, making some changes and using her music to tell us about it. In the issue she talks about her new album being who she is today, saying "I don't think I could put on a new character for two years of my life if it wasn't really what I was going through. I have these formulas for making music; they're almost mathematical: Who are you today? What did you write about in your diary? What idea hit you at 4:00 A.M.?"

When you see that Sarah Jessica Parker is gracing the cover of May's issue of Vogue, your mind might not immediately jump to the assumption that this is to honor the Met Museum of Art Costume Institute's "American Woman: Fashioning a National Identity" exhibit (like the press release says it is).

It makes a bit more sense that Vogue chose the month of May to coincide with another big release: "Sex and the City 2." But, with the upcoming glamorous sequel set to make more than the half a billion dollars the first "Sex and the City" movie made in theaters, it's easy to see why the two are inextricably entwined.

Robert Pattinson is shifting gears from his super sultry vampire persona and taking an emotional dive into a deeper role in his new movie, "Remember Me," with actress Emilie de Ravin.

In the latest issue of Vogue (Tina Fey is on the cover!), the two dish the dirt on what it was like to film their new romantic drama on the streets of New York among the hoards of fans and paparazzi. "It was the most ridiculous experience. You're trying to stay in character and you're trying to walk down the street, but all those people keep reminding you that you're not this character, you're—" says Robert. "A show pony," Emilie interrupts, laughing.

There are certain celebrities that possess a classic beauty — untainted by spray tans, plastic surgery and the cookie cutter look that often consumes Hollywood. One of those celebrities is Jessica Biel. Jess graces the cover of Vogue's February issue and takes the magazine by storm with breathtaking images and an interview that proves her beauty radiates both inside and out.

We can all agree that Jessica’s relationship with Justin Timberlake is a hot topic. Together, the pair are undoubtedly one of Hollywood’s most gorgeous couples, and like any couple in the spotlight, gossip does not elude them. When Vogue asks Jess about her relationship with Justin, she is confident, yet quiet about the details. “I don’t want to talk about it. I don’t feel the need to clear anything up. It’s the most precious thing that I have in my life, and I care about it so much that I don’t care about what anyone says or thinks. I have just not addressed it in any real way, and I’m not going to. It’s mine. And I really like that about it.”

The idea of watching hot Aussie actor Sam Worthington in the two-and-a-half-hour “Avatar” is pretty appealing — until you realize that he’s CGI’d as a vaguely feline-looking blue creature for most of the movie. Don’t worry, the film’s gotten some pretty great reviews, so if you drop some dollars on the movie, your time will be well spent. But if you’re looking to ogle the heartthrob in a more natural-looking state, check out this photo (and accompanying behind-the-scenes video) from the January issue of Vogue (on stands today).

The shot, by photographer Norman Jean Roy, features Sam brooding sexily on a motorcycle in work boots and a black ensemble while model Raquel Zimmerman poses fiercely beside him. It’s got a very post-apocalyptic look to it all (which kind of recalls the iconic Australian movie “Mad Max”), especially Raquel’s “macram-and-crochet fringe dress” by Rodarte. To duplicate the designer’s look, you might want to stop by your local Target and check out Rodarte’s affordable, limited-edition line there (though word on the street is that, eBay may be your best bet now to snag some of those threads!).

In the past few years, a quiet yet remarkably talented actress by the name of Rachel McAdams has worked her way to the silver screen, and now she's also made her way to the cover of Vogue. Posing in a flower printed red Dolce & Gabbana dress and matching red stilettos, the “Sherlock Holmes” star graces the January 2010 issue. In the mag, which hits stands on December 22, the actress talks working with Lindsay Lohan, her fascination with soap operas and much more.

In 2004, Rachel's career jump-started when she starred in “Mean Girls” playing queen bee Regina George alongside Lindsay. “I just remember marveling about how much [Lindsay] knew as an actor, how much she understood," Rachel recalled. "She did very few takes and had this naturalness to her. And beyond that, I was 26 at the time. I’d be asked, ‘Where do you go out?'"
