Ashley Benson's Easy Way to Dress Up Boho Braids

Braids are a Summer hair staple, and this weekend at BottleRock, Ashley Benson showed off a chic braid that was fun and supereasy to re-create.

Braids are a Summer hair staple, and this weekend at BottleRock, Ashley Benson showed off a chic braid that was fun and supereasy to re-create. The actress wore a marigold rope wrapped around her two small braids, which she wore pinned back to either side. To get her look, start off with beach waves. Next, part your hair down the middle and braid a small front section of hair. Braid about halfway down and secure with a clear elastic. Then, tie a ribbon, rope, or bright thread at the base of the plait and wrap it around and tie at the elastic. Pull the braid back and secure with pins into the side of the hair. Repeat on the other side. Ashley may have rocked her look at a festival, but this colorful style is also a great option for the beach or a poolside party.

Kristen Stewart was surrounded by friends while out celebrating her 23rd birthday in Silver Lake, CA, on Tuesday night. She and Robert Pattinson met up with pals, including Ashley Benson, to dine at the Mexican restaurant Malo and hung out in the parking lot after their meal. The fun continued at Hotel Juniper, where the group reportedly crashed a Hanson record release party.

Kristen and Rob have been all about spending time with friends, and last week they got together with a bunch for a walk around the Los Feliz neighborhood of LA. Kristen and Rob showed PDA during the afternoon outing, which was just their latest after he returned to the West Coast from filming The Rover in Australia. They've been keeping a low profile since but may be in the spotlight this Sunday at the MTV Movie Awards, where Kristen is up for best hero as Snow White in Snow White and the Huntsman. Fans can vote on Instagram and Twitter using the hashtag #votesnowwhite to help put her in the lead against Batman, Catwoman, Bilbo Baggins, Iron Man, and the Hulk.

Here's One Easy Style Formula, Plus How to Apply It to Day and Night

Black and white with a pop of red — that's exactly what both Lily Aldridge and Ashley Benson took on, two ways.

Black and white with a pop of red — that's exactly what both Lily Aldridge and Ashley Benson took on, two ways. It's not a revolutionary style formula, admittedly, but these looks remind us of the color combo's quiet impact. First, we love that they're in line with Spring's black-and-white trend, but of course there's no denying the cool dimension red adds to the mix. Benson's outfit is suited for daytime: a white tank with black ripped jeans and red ankle boots, finished with a luxurious lace Dolce & Gabbana bag and black-rimmed glasses. And Aldridge's look is perfect for a night out (we would add a blazer for further polish). The model started with a basic white V-neck tee, Citizens of Humanity leather jeans ($229), and red cap-toe pumps, then completed it all with a black leather tote, cat-eye sunglasses, and a sparkly rhinestone necklace. Get in on their tricolored style formula by shopping similar pieces below.

Taylor Lautner Grabs a Bite With Ashley Benson

Taylor Lautner met up with Ashley Benson for dinner at Fogo de Chão in Beverly Hills last night. The two arrived at the restaurant with a group of friends and left separately. Ashley has been friends with Taylor for some time, which sparked rumors that the two were dating back in August. She tweeted photos of herself hanging out with Taylor as recently as February, including a snap of the actor snuggling with her dog, Olive. The two also share a connection with Selena Gomez, whom Taylor dated back in 2010 and Ashley costarred with in Spring Breakers, which hit theaters yesterday.

Ashley isn't the only actress Taylor has been spending time with — he took Kristen Stewart to the batting cages this week, and the two caught a Marcus Foster concert with pals earlier this month.
