I've been in a bit of a panic this week because everyone I know (including my 5-year-old twins) has not only decided on but purchased their Halloween gear. The best part of Halloween to me is seeing what hilarious fashion-oriented-pop-culture-referencing costumes people come up with. Anyone can be a ghost or a witch but how much more fun is it to see someone as bride-to-be Bella Swan or Rachel Zoe or a Real Housewife? Two Halloween’s ago my costume set a personal high (I was a blonde-wigged Kate Hudson and my husband was a fake-muscled-up A-Rod) and ever since it’s been to hard figure out the next.Then I came across a very cool new product by Make Up For Ever called Fluo Night Black Light Pigment ($31) and with it, I’m going back to the '80s (or is it early '90s?). Here’s how it works: You add the translucent powder with a sponge or a brush on top of makeup that you already have, say, a lipstick or an eye shadow or even a hair gel.

Pint-sized actress-singer Selena Gomez, also known as Justin Beiber's lady love, hit the LA premiere of "The Thing" in an outfit that impressed us for several reasons. Let's go through them all, shall we? First and foremost, we love the fact that her sexy sequin shorts are $19 from Forever21.

The second reason we love this look is because Selena clearly knows how to dress for her body without being over-the-top. She's picked one asset— her toned, tanned legs— not two or three to focus on. She knows that together, the micro-shorts and the black heels elongate her gams. And she's balanced the skimpiness with a flowy blouse so her look stays safely on the side of "edgy" as opposed to "trashy." The third reason is her hair and makeup. Her side-swept bangs,

We've heard that 40 is the new 30, but in Hollywood it feels like 50 -- even 60 -- is the new 20! Women who would technically fall into the "middle aged" category (Halle Berry, Courteney Cox) look nothing like they did a generation ago, and they probably feel a little different as well. They're taking better care of their skin and their bodies, and there's no doubt that their fashion contributes to a youthful attitude. Have a look at the following stars, who all happen to be 40-plus, and tell me why there should be an age cutoff for showing off fabulous legs, having long, wavy tousles, or embracing a thigh-high pair of fall boots.
