For most women, the idea of having a professional stylist is a dream come true; for Jessica Alba, it’s just a part of the gig.

“Trying on clothes — it’s just not super fun for me,” she admitted to PEOPLE recently during a fitting with stylist Brad Goreski. “I can’t think of anything I would rather not be doing. I’d rather get spa treatments. Get my nails done and go to lunch with my girlfriends.”

So when it comes to finding that perfect red-carpet look, Alba employs shortcuts. “I know what will work even before I try something on,” she said. Goreski concurred: “She doesn’t change her mind … Once you set something with her she knows it and it stays that way.”

Call her fit, fine, fashionable — but don’t call her trendy. Speaking to reporters Sunday night at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, Cameron Diaz said her style is all her own.

“I have never been into trends. I don’t understand trends,” she said. “I tried on a dress a few days ago that was like, spring 2012, and I was like, ‘Where are we?’ Why can’t I just buy a dress for summer 2011? That’s all I need.”

Looking chic in an A.L.C. strapless “Astrid” dress (ironically from the brand’s resort 2012 collection), the actress joked that fashion is moving too fast for her. “By the time we get to 2012, I am going to be wearing something for 2013 … It doesn’t really make any sense to me!”

Kevin McHale broke character in a checkered vest, cuffed jeans and a wild do, while choice TV breakout star Darren Criss looked Warbler-ready in his tailored jacket and jeans.

Ashley Greene is considered quite the fashionista these days, but the Twilight star admits that she frequently feels outdone by her friend and former Gossip Girl actresss, Jessica Szohr.

“Whenever I hang out with her, I always admire what she wears,” Greene told PEOPLE at the Teen Choice Awards at Gibson Amphitheatre in L.A. on Sunday. “She has this way of putting things together that I would never think of. Every time I hang out with her, I’m like, ‘That’s such a cool outfit. I could never pull it off.’”

Even though Greene doesn’t think she can get away with certain style choices, she isn’t closed-minded when it comes to experimenting.
