From movie sets to tour buses, stylist Vanessa Price creates megastar signature looks--including Justin Bieber's signature swooping bangs.

"It feels like silk," stylist Vanessa Price says of the hair that makes millions of girls weak in their American Eagle-clad knees. Two years ago, the music industry vet (clients include the Foo Fighters, Morrissey, Zooey Deschanel, and Jenny Lewis) took her scissors to the mullety hair of a certain then 15-year-old YouTube phenom, snipping it into the side-swept glory known worldwide as Bieber Bangs (may they R.I.P.).

Today, Price and Justin Bieber are inseparable: "You're the only one who's allowed to cut my hair," Bieber told Price. A week before his seventeenth birthday, Bieber was ready for a change, so Price pulled out her shears. "Teenage angst," explains Price, who chopped the bangs "to death," revealing not just a new look "suitable for a young man instead of a teenage boy," but also unveiling his forehead. "The world had never seen

Movies' most dramatic stares, from the past to the present

Clara Bow
Clara Bow was Hollywood's original It Girl, thanks to her magnetic presence and emotive brown eyes.

Bette Davis (shown here in Now, Voyager) had peepers that could make a pro blush-and there's a song to prove it.

Cleopatra
In addition to her sizzling chemistry with co-star Richard Burton, Elizabeth Taylor also captivated Cleopatra audiences with her dramatic blue eye makeup.

Faye Dunaway
Who said chess was boring? Faye Dunaway exchanged passionate stares with Steve McQueen while making her moves in The Thomas Crown Affair.

Rosemary's Baby
Mia Farrow 's wide-eyed stare got increasingly frantic in Rosemary's Baby. If we found out we were carrying Satan's spawn, we'd have a similar look!

Scarface
Though Michelle Pfeiffer 's Scarface character has a blank stare, she dresses it up with glamorous smoky eye shadow. As her marriage to gangster Tony wears thin, however, so does her makeup (she is barefaced by the end of the movie).

-Bamboo-Framed Fans

In true eco-friendly style, we're looking into alternate energy sources to keep us cool this summer, and these little floral-printed fans just might be the prettiest option around and tuck easily into any bag for those hot subway slogs.

Bamboo-framed fans, $2 each, get them at Pearlriver.com

-Kimono

It doesn't get more Japanese than a classic silk kimono (which was actually a style of dress the Japanese "borrowed" from China sometime around the fifth century). While traditional kimono are reserved primarily for special occasions, you could most definitely rock this pretty-yet-approachable version while lounging at home, or over a pair of leggings and platforms, no ceremonial occasion required.
