Kristen Stewart's casual fashion style.
Kristen Stewart’s endless love for plaid shirts and jeans might cause some people to criticize her fashion sense — but fashion designers Vera Wang and Derek Lam LOVE it! Kristen Stewart as Bella Swan in Twilight saga "Eclipse" promotional stills.

“She brings an element of sort of rock and hip, but not just because she’s on Twilight,” Vera told HollywoodLife.com EXCLUSIVELY at the DKMS 4th Annual Gala at Cipriani in NYC on Apr. 29. “She brings that aura herself innately.”
“I think a lot of the actors in Hollywood like to down play in the day,” Vera continued. “It’s all about jeans and being groovy and t-shirts. [For Kristen] I think something very goth but kind of cool. She works that so well!” Source: www.hollywoodlife.com

Ben Stiller in Men's Vogue, August 2008

Ben Stiller as dim-witted supermodel Derek Zoolander.

"A few days after Adam McKay revealed on Twitter that plans for Anchorman 2 have been canceled by Paramount, Ben Stiller sent out another Tweet in which he placed Zoolander 2 in the same boat. Here's the exact message: "Ron Burgandy and Derek Zoolander looking to appear in sequels. Both men are destitute, without means or intellect to fund their own comebacks." Zoolander 2 was also being set up at Paramount, so it would appear the studio is either having a hard time justifying the worth of late follow-ups to some of the biggest cult comedies of the last decade or they just wanted to see what happens when two of the biggest egos in film are crushed simultaneously (I mean the characters, of course, not the stars).
Don't start writing your "eugoogoly" for the Zoolander franchise just yet, though. Stiller is admitting to funding problems, but that doesn't mean the thing is completely dead. If Paramount doesn't want it, though, maybe some other studio or production company can come around and see the value in the property"

Gemma Arterton in THE TIMES (2010) photoshoot.
Right now you can find her starring in the box-office smash Clash Of The Titans, and soon she will appear alongside Jake Gyllenhaal in the Disney epic, Prince Of Persia: The Sands Of Time.

"What was so appealing about this job is that it was so tight, there was no messing about. Prince Of Persia was shot over six months and sometimes we would do a scene a week. I just get so bored, you know, like, 'I've said this line 90 times and it's not even usable now because I've lost any emotion or sparkle in the eye'.
It's plain to see that Arterton is proud of her latest piece of work, but then she is the first to confess that she never really saw herself as a Hollywood movie star."If I'm really honest I never imagined myself in those Hollywood movies but I got offered them and thought, 'Well, I'd better do them then as they're big opportunities and a lot of fun.' Then, when I did, I rode the wave. But my heart's in the type of films that I go to see at the cinema, and they're not Hollywood blockbusters particularly.
Gemma Arterton in THE DISAPPEARANCE OF ALICE CREED (2009)

"I've not got anything against them – I'm in them", she laughs. "But I don't go and spend my money on them. I'd much rather see this kind of movie. That's what's in my DVD collection." Source: Edinburgh Evening News
