Pros: My hair held it's pony tail better than normal and it didn't get greasy.

Paris Hilton, Doug Reinhardt

Last night, Paris Hilton took over the rooftop at the Thompson Beverly Hills hotel to launch her latest beauty products, the Celebrity Styler ($64.99) and the Ultimate Brush ($9.99). Everything was pink: the lighting, the spicy tuna rolls, the heiress' dress and, of course, the new styling tools.

The hair-and-beauty collection was designed for the girl-on-the-go. The brush promises quick drying time, while the iron/curler lets you switch up hairstyles in a heartbeat, going from pretty Paris waves to pin-straight Nicky Hilton locks.

Speaking of Nicky, she was right on trend in a striped dress, supporting her sis alongside parents Kathy and Rick, Aunt Kyle Richards and Doug Reinhardt. Also at the bash were Paris' former BFFs from her reality series (guess she didn't really mean TTYN!). While some kept it simple in cute LBDs, others pranced around in ridiculously short skirts and enough embellishment to decorate the Rockefeller Center Christmas tree.

And there was almost as much fur as there was bling. When she wasn't posing for pics, Paris stayed warm in a light gray vest, while other guests went for cropped jackets like this Fabulous Fur one.

Meanwhile, across the country, another star was showing off her love for animal skin with the new Jimmy Choo for H&M zebra clutch. Find out who in mystyle's Soiree Style gallery.

Hayden Panettiere

Bangs can beautifully frame a face, highlighting a woman's sparkling eyes or chiseled cheekbones.

But fringe isn't for everyone.

Case in point: Hayden Panettiere, who recently showed off a new cropped 'do at The Whaleman Foundation Benefit.

Instead of framing her feminine features, the bangs and severe middle part had a witching effect on the Heroes star—making her nose look bigger and chin pointier. Hayden's heart-shaped face is much better suited to soft, sideswept layers.

Or do you prefer her new hairstyle?

Unite Shampoo

Some people can go to sleep with their hair in rollers or on top of their head in a scrunchie and wake up with gorgeous volume. Women with finer locks aren't so lucky. Unless they wash their hair in the morning their hair is flat, flat, flat all day!

If you're a fine-haired woman who likes to sleep in, dry shampoo could trim some time from your morning routine. Just shower and blowdry your hair before bed and then spray the product onto your roots when you wake up. Instant volume!

I use Unite Eurotherapy's 7Seconds Dry shampoo for a superquick styling refresher. Can't make it to one of the many salons that sell the morning miracle worker? Sephora carries Oscar Blandi's Pronto dry shampoo spray, another timesaver that delivers voluminous results.

Halloween may be over, but the Kate Gosselin impersonations keep on coming. On SNL this past weekend, host Taylor Swift spoofed the reality star—and, of course, the mom of eight's reverse mullet made for some great comedic fodder. Watch the clip above to see the very funny Kristen Wiig (as The View's Elisabeth Hasselbeck) try to make sense of Kate's kooky 'do. Then, vote on which explanation you liked best below!

You don't need to blow your budget to get lusciously soft locks. Simple ingredients you already have at home can provide salon-quality results for pennies!

Combine olive oil and a few drops of your favorite essential oil in an airtight container.

If your hair is dry, gently massage one tablespoon of oil into your scalp and the ends of your hair, cover with a shower cap and let it soak in for several minutes before shampooing out.

For oily hair, apply to ends only and shampoo out immediately.

Want to clarify your hair and remove buildup? Here's a great weekly treatment to turn up the volume: In the palm of your hand, mix a small amount of baking soda with your shampoo and scrub well.

If you need a stronger one-time boost, apply tons of baking soda directly to your hair and scalp first, then shampoo. Follow up with weekly maintenance treatments.

Kelly Osbourne, Luke Worrell

Kelly Osbourne and her fiancé, Luke Worrall, have only been together for a year and a half, but already they're starting to look like each other! Just check them out at h.wood last night, where they celebrated Kelly's 25th birthday, which is actually today. (Happy birthday, Kelly!) We normally don't like it when folks do the matchy-matchy thing—puke!—but we think the couple's similar peroxide-blond haircuts are cute. We also like how Kelly's dotted dress complements Luke's striped sweater. These lovebirds are officially on our list of fashionable It couples to watch!

Kimora Lee Simmons

Is there any way to style a braid for a party?
—Laura, via the Ask Style inbox

Style Spy Says: Berry

Put it in a high ponytail, says Frédéric Fekkai stylist Renato Campora. Everyone from Diane Kruger to Jennifer Lopez has hit up the red carpet in that unconventional glam hairstyle. Just this past weekend, Style's very own Kimora Lee Simmons got in on the trend at Teen Vogue's Fashion University event.

Jeannie Mai

How Do I Look? host Jeannie Mai gave us a peek at her personal style during Susan G. Komen's Fashion for the Cure Benefit...

What She's Stylin': I wanted to wear something that was fun and funky. I picked this DVF dress because it looked like it made noise. It moved the way I want my personality to move. It keeps up with me.

Fashion Philosophy: My style is like a cupcake. It's a little dangerous, but also delicious and flirty.

Hair Story: The blue streaks in my hair are inspired by comic figurines. I grew up admiring anime and superheroes like Wonder Woman.

Beauty Trick: Every woman needs to own false eyelashes. I really like No. 7 from MAC. They will take your look from sham to glam in one step.

Recession Chic: I host style-swap parties at my apartment. I set up a little booth for each of my girlfriends and we just swap and trade clothes. I get all new stuff without having to break out my wallet!

Ouidad Moisture Lock

What are some great products to use for curly hair that won't weigh my hair down and will keep it moisturized?
—Georgina, via the Ask Style inbox

Style Spy Says: Berry

If you crave moisture, and your hair has any sort of body to it, you should at least try something containing Moroccan argan oil. Josie Maran makes a killer argan oil that many women swear by—for their skin, their nails and especially for their curly or wavy hair.

Otherwise, yes, the hype is true: Ouidad really does know curly hair, and her products are pretty hard to beat when it comes to moisture and fighting frizz. Her Moisture Lock Leave-In Conditioner is a must-have. Other curly-headed friends insist on Climate Control to eliminate frizz.

Mya

Singer and Dancing With the Stars front-runner Mya gave us a peek at her personal style during Susan G. Komen's Fashion for the Cure Benefit...

What She's Stylin': I chose this particular Diane von Furstenberg dress because blue is one of my favorite colors. It looks great on my skin; it's not too bright and not too dark—and it matches my stitches!

Fashion Philosophy: I really like to be comfortable, but sometimes that's not realistic in fashion. But I am a sucker for heels. Heels will definitely make an outfit look so fierce, even with a simple pair of jeans.

Beauty Trick: For a dewy look, I use a serum or even Vaseline on my cheek bones to highlight them. I give them moisture instead of apply makeup. Shimmer or bronzer tend to break people out.

Curly or Straight Hair?: I really prefer straight because I don't get to have it that way all the time. As soon as I dance or sweat or get in the pool, my hair curls up. Of course, we want what we can't have!

Check out mystyle's Shop Her Style galleries to get the signature looks of stars like Rihanna, Sienna Miller, Lauren Conrad and first lady Michelle Obama!

Tea Tree Oil Facial Blotting Tissues

If you could only have five beauty essentials in your purse, what would they be?
—Shirley B.,
Johnstown, N.Y.

Style Spy Says: Berry

Oooh! Is this like a quizzy quiz? Like the ones I am so often asked to take in my Twitter direct message inbox? Sure. Here you go.

1. Blotting tissue or powder. Some beauty magazines insist on concealer instead. But concealer only conceals. It doesn't suck up excess facial oil and conceal. If you don't use concealer, you can get perfectly serviceable blotting papers at Body Shop, but if you do need a little coverage as well as oil control, there is absolutely nothing wrong with the powders you can get from L'Oréal or Revlon at the drugstore.
