GET THE LOOK : Gwyneth Paltrow's zen approach is so pervasive (from an earth-friendly diet to her meditative yoga habit) that even her curls don't stay wound up for long. To get your own relaxed spirals, grab a medium-barrel iron.
INSIDER TRICK : The curling iron's position dictates which way the curl falls. To mimic Gwyneth's, hold the iron vertically with the handle pointed down to the floor and hold for five seconds. Secure with a light-hold hairspray.

GET THE LOOK : We're on cloud nine over the silver lining under celebrity eyes. Want to give your face an instant pick me up that will make you look rested and alert? Follow the lead of Christina Ricci and Ginnifer Goodwin, who create come-hither gazes with platinum pencils.
INSIDER TRICK : To get staying power (tears can wash away liner near the tear duct), line the inner corner of your eyes with water-proof silver pencil. Wait a minute, then add a second layer.

INSIDER TRICK : Getting this look is all about location, location, location. If you place the bun too high, you run the risk of looking like a prima ballerina, so keep the chignon low.

GET THE LOOK : Call it beauty inflation. White teeth go a long way towards a million dollar smile, but why not up the ante and get a grin worth a billion bucks? A truly genuine smile involves not just your mouth, but also your eyes and cheeks. And stars like Debra Messing capture their rapture in their entire face.
INSIDER TRICK : To get the just-right gleam when you smile, swirl a slight dusting of pale pink shimmery blush on the peak of the apples of your cheeks. To find that spot, smile big and find the quarter-size area that protrudes the most.
