Alba on the June cover. (Tesh)Jessica Alba's name is always at the top of many best-dressed lists for her chic, seemingly-effortless style. But there was a time when she was more fashion victim than trendsetter. In the late '90s, the now-married mother of two dressed pretty provocatively, thanks in part to her sexy character on the Fox sci-fi drama, "Dark Angel" — but she insists it was all for the sake of ratings. Even though she was only 19 at the time, "everyone formed a strong opinion about me because of the way I was marketed," Alba reveals in the June issue of Marie Claire. "I was supposed to be sexy, this tough action girl. That's what people expected … I felt like I was being objectified, and it made me uncomfortable. I wanted to be chic and elegant!"

The photo she tweeted. (Twitter)Is AnnaLynne McCord trying to get herself a Proactiv deal? For the second time in a week, the "90210" actress has gone makeup-free — and blemish-full. On Tuesday, she landed in Israel for a charity event and proudly posed for awaiting photographers without a stitch of cover-up, blush, or even eyeliner. And from the looks of it, she didn't do anything with her hair either because her curly mane was wild. Just a few days before, the 24-year-old tweeted a photo of herself fresh-faced, which exposed her problematic skin. "I woke up this morning and decided I'm over Hollywood's perfection requirement," McCord wrote to her followers. "To all my girls (and boys) who have ever been embarrassed by their skin! I salute you! I'm not perfect — and that's okay with me!"‘Private Practice’ Star Kate Walsh Talks Aging in Hollywood

Stone busted the back of her Lanvin dress. (JUSTIN/EAGLEPRESS)
Emma Stone is one good actress. Behind all the smiles and pretty poses at the Met Costume Institute Gala in New York City on Monday night, she was hiding a terrible secret: there was a huge hole in her Lanvin dress! The "Amazing Spider-Man" star appears to have busted out the back of the cherry red hand-embroidered mini right where it zipped up. In photos taken of Stone, 23, sitting in a car on her way to an after-party, she can be seen showing the giant tear to Lanvin designer, Alber Elbaz, who looks shocked and perplexed. But Stone is no diva. Instead of throwing a fit or demanding a new dress, she simply slipped on a maroon-colored coat to seamlessly cover up the hole for the remainder of the night.Kate Middleton Wears a Daring Dress for a Night Out With Prince William

By Raechal Leone Shewfelt | A-Line: Celebrity Style – Tue, May 8, 2012 10:53 AM PDT
Kevin Mazur/WireImageWe're used to seeing model and actress Brooke Shields looking gorgeous, whether she's wearing her form-fitting Calvin Klein jeans or a glam gown, but on Monday she proved that she really can look good in anything! The 46-year-old brunette beauty was breathtaking as she hobbled down the red carpet at the Costume Institute Gala at New York City's Metropolitan Museum of Art in a navy, asymmetrical J. Mendel dress, Tiffany jewels, a clutch, and ... a cane.[Related: The Met Costume Institute Gala 2012 (Photos)]
The cane wasn't just for looks, though. As the "Blue Lagoon" star explained, she needed it because she tore her meniscus, the cartilage in the knee, during her six-month stint playing Morticia Addams in the Broadway production of "The Addams Family," which ended in December. Still, Shields didn't let her injury put a damper on her time at the famous Met Gala. "[It's] not a big deal, it's inconvenient," she told E!'s Giuliana Rancic, joking, "You know what?

*NSYNC was oh-so stylish back in the day. (L. Busacca/WireImage)In the late '90s, there were few people cooler than the boy band *NSYNC — at least according to teenage girls. And they thought frontman Justin Timberlake was the coolest! Grinning or trying to look tough from under his curly, bleach-blond hair, and wearing chunky necklaces and jackets coordinated with his bandmates, he seemed to believe the hype. Now 31, however, J.T. reveals to Details magazine that looking back, he thinks he looked pretty ridiculous while working with JC Chasez, Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, and Chris Kirkpatrick. "There were many moments in my teenage years where I succumbed to, um, the weirdness of the group I was in," he said. "And in trying to conform — we're marionettes! — I ended up looking like a moron." (As you'll recall, the guys famously played marionettes in the video for their highly addictive song "Bye Bye Bye" and on the cover of their 2000 No Strings Attached album. )
