LINDSAY LOHAN
THEN: The 12-year-old star of 1998's The Parent Trap vowed, "I don't want fame to change me."
NOW: Her hair color, at least, has changed – several times. But the natural redhead remains "an absolute knockout," says her hairstylist, Peter Butler. And those party-girl rumors? Lohan, 19, insists: "I have a younger sister, and I want to set a good example."

NOW: Just like Rory, the 23-year-old is making time for boys (she dates Gilmore actor Milo Ventimiglia) and developing a personal style. "It's less about finding the right outfit and more about finding something fun to wear," she's said.

MARY-KATE OLSEN
THEN: Before she developed her signature boho look, the Two of a Kind star, at 13, was a buttoned-down cardigan girl.
NOW: "She is so petite and delicate, yet such a strong and determined young woman," designer John Galliano told W magazine about its trend-setting January cover girl, who's 19. "Feisty. I like that."

GWEN STEFANI & GAVIN ROSSDALE
Stefani "knows clothing and loves it," says Dubin. "Even her casual looks are well put-together. She loves to experiment." While the singer (and designer of her own clothing line, L.A.M.B.) "does the high-fashion talking," her rocker husband (left, in Studio City, Calif.; right, in West Hollywood) has "more of a casual, laid-back look. He's a well-suited backdrop to her fashion risks."

JADA PINKETT SMITH & WILL SMITH
"They're an incredibly sexy couple," says Dubin of the movie-star pair. "When they step out, their clothing will match, down to very deliberate color choices and styles." And they're not afraid to be bold: At the BET Awards in June, the pair "works a '70s angle" with his natty suit and her voluminous hair and beaded gown.

HEIDI KLUM & SEAL
In their downtime, the photogenic couple are all about "being comfortable and functional, like with their matching baggy pants and slouchy bags," says Dubin of the supermodel and her musician husband (left, in New York City). But when "she glams it up, he rises to the occasion" (right, at the 2004 CFDA Fashion Awards).

DEMI MOORE & ASHTON KUTCHER
"He's very confident in his clothing, as is she," says Dubin of Moore and Kutcher. "They're not afraid to wear look-at-me outfits" (right). On his own, Kutcher is a sartorial daredevil (he's worn a skirt), but when he's out with his lady love, he takes a more sophisticated approach. Even wearing jeans (left, in Hollywood), "he'll dress them up with a blazer."

PENELOPE CRUZ & MATTHEW MCCONAUGHEY
"She's a petite Spanish beauty and he's a rough-and-tumble Texan," says Dubin of Cruz and McConaughey (in Tokyo). "She's always out in high fashion and he'll always be that casual Texan. But he makes her a little more casual and she classes him up a little. They're an interesting mix."

FAITH HILL & TIM MCGRAW
While Hill has become a true fashionista, McGraw has retained a "country edge" with his penchant for cowboy hats and boots (right, at the 2004 CMA Awards). As a duo, the couple make a striking appearance on the red carpet (left) – and blend their styles seamlessly. "He'll meet her halfway."

BEYONCE & JAY-Z
Beyonce & Jay-Z are crazy in love – and mad for fashion. "They're very well-matched in personality and also in style," says Dubin. "Their closets complement each other." On vacation (left, in Portofino, Italy), they sport "a very high-end casual chic." At a New York City event sponsored by House of Dereon, her clothing line with mom Tina (right), they go for an "elegant look."

Most Fashionable Couples

JENNIFER LOPEZ & MARC ANTHONY
These two (at the 2005 Grammys) like to coordinate, but their approach to fashion couldn’t be more different. "There's a bling factor" to Lopez's style, says Dubin. "It's very luxe – her furs, her fabrics are very rich, she's always glimmering." Yet Anthony – who is equally into clothes – is more "low-key" and understated.
