Rachel Bilson, Scarlett Johansson and Kristen Bell might have completely different looks, but one thing they all have in common is their stylist Nicole Chavez. For Sunday night’s Teen Choice Awards, Nicole tells PEOPLE, “I wanted a very casual, fun, young vibe — I was gravitating towards really soft palettes,” for all her clients. Rachel was Nicole’s first client four years ago when they met on the set of The O.C. and Bilson encouraged her to start styling. Rachel, who won for Teen Choice Movie Actress Action Adventure for her thriller Jumper, wore a blue one-shouldered Brian Reyes dress (someone that Rachel “loves working [with]“). Of her longtime client, Nicole says, “Rachel is very natural with fashion. She’s not afraid to wear something that is a little different or unexpected.” Kristen Bell “immediately gravitated” to her Jenni Kayne hot pink skirt and nude cami. Of the look, Nicole says, “The color combo’s great. It’s super modern, cute. Perfect for Teen Choice.” For Scarlett, it was a Matthew Williamson chiffon dress with a burst of colors on the beaded shoulders, but, says Nicole, “The real statement will be about the jewelry. It’s fun to layer things and be more bold.” All the pieces were from Scarlett’s friend jewelry designer Sonia Boyajian, who designed her engagement ring. Like Rachel, Nicole says Scarlett isn’t afraid of a fashion risk. We love all Nicole’s girls’ looks. Tell us: Who was your favorite– Rachel, Kristen or Scarlett?

Scarlett Johansson has shown her affection for Louis Vuitton before, but Thursday night, she really showed the label her love! The star hosted a party at LV’s Fifth Avenue store in N.Y.C. to launch the new “LoVe” collection (we’ve already spotted Sienna Miller carrying one of the bags). Daniel Lalonde, the new president of the French luxury goods house told PEOPLE that “Love was the theme of the spring collection of Louis Vuitton, which, as Marc [Jacobs] said, You can’t spell Love without ‘LV.’” Awww. Sharing the love was fellow party-goer actress Alex Kingston who told PEOPLE that she is “so happy that Scarlett is the muse for Louis Vuitton. She’s curvy-figured, and it’s so nice that Louis Vuitton has honored her figure.” Downplaying her famous looks (and gorgeous Louis Vuitton frock), Scarlett joked “it took a couple of hours to get ready tonight. A little shellac and I’m good to go.”

No, it’s not your eyes — these are fashion illusions. Translating to “trick the eye,” trompe l’oiel is a centuries old technique of making the 2-d look 3-d. Popular in design in the 70’s, the look is back with a vengeance for spring, showing up on stars like Julianne Moore, Scarlett Johansson and Lucy Liu. Their designer frocks are from Proenza Schouler, Louis Vuitton and Zac Posen, but don’t worry — we’ve got some ideas on how to get the look for less! Tell us: Is this a trend you’d try?

Try a trompe top from Tsumori Chisato, $230, at hejfina.com or this quirky t-shirt, $15, from fredflare.com.
