AnnaLynne McCord and her castmates filmed scenes for 90210 on Malibu Beach and while they recited their lines we could not stop staring at AnnaLynne's black string bikini. After some digging around, we tracked down the sexy swimsuit: Agent Provocateur's Kristie ring bikini top ($270) and matching bottoms ($220). You can also get it at Net-A-Porter. It's a pretty price to pay for a bikini, but imagine all the fawning you'll get while wearing it around the beach! It's not the best style if you want to avoid tan lines, but it would turn quite a few heads at a pool party. Wear it with a cover-up à la AnnaLynne or on its own for a dip.

What's not to love about the trendy cute styles of the Pretty Little Liars cast? Whether you're clean and classic like Spencer, a risk-taker like Aria, sporty like Emily, or all about designer duds like Hanna, it's easy to see why loyal fans tune in each week to get a glimpse of their latest cool-girl fashions. Recently we chatted with actress Janel Parrish, who plays Mona, one of A's most stylish minions. Find out what she had to say about her personal and onscreen style, wardrobe fittings, and how to get the PLL look at home.

CelebStyle: How would you describe your personal style and how does it differ from Mona's look?
Janel Parrish: I would describe my style as funky chic. Not quite as glam as Mona. Mona is always super done up with tall heels and plenty of colorful accessories. I tend to be a little more grungy chic.

CS: Who is the show's wardrobe stylist and what does the wardrobe room look like?
JP: Our amazing stylist is Mandi Line. When you walk in the room, all you see are rows and rows of amazing clothes. We are so fortunate that our work is to play dress up all day. My favorite part of the day is seeing what Mandi has pulled. And since each of our characters have such unique style, she has her job cut out for her. I think without her even telling us we can predict which rack is for which character.

American Idol's contestants' stage styles are always so fabulous and over the top, and we have costume designer Soyon An to thank for that. The LA-based stylist, who has also worked with So You Think You Can Dance, has been styling the show for four seasons already and also creates pieces for the American Idol tour. Before you catch tonight's and tomorrow's episodes, get to know all about Soyon, including how she got her start at Idol, the styling process, and what trends she stays away from.

CelebStyle: How did you get started styling for American Idol?
Soyon An: I started back in season six as the stylist for their live tours. Then on season eight, I started styling the show and tours. I had a background as a fashion designer and had worked as a stylist as well with indie artists and bands.

CS: What is the process of styling like from start to finish?
SA: I work with each contestant to help define and craft their image as they grow and develop during the season. I work with each contestant, discuss their inspiration and vision, listen to their song choice, try on some looks from my pull, and then we shop the missing elements. Sometimes I actually customize a new look or build the outfit from scratch. Already this season, I had Colton Dixon's suit and tie studded, Erika Van Pelt's top crystalized, Joshua Ledet's blazer customized with the white and black.

If, like us, you were wowed by Blue Planet and awed by Planet Earth, you're in for a real treat. Just in time for Earth Day this Sunday, BBC Home Entertainment has released the epic series Frozen Planet on DVD and Blu-ray! The seven-part special delves into harsh Arctic and Antarctic environments with never-before-seen footage of animals above and below the ice. What better way to celebrate this amazing planet than by participating in a community cleanup event topped off with a quiet evening curled up watching critically-acclaimed footage of nature's iciest landscapes? The series certainly reminded us of the importance of preserving this frigid habitat.

We, of course, love that polar bears take center stage, and these cute little cubs in this clip just melt our hearts, not unlike the Summer sun on the ice!
