Looking to find some last-minute gifts? Why not let the stars guide you? Bobbie Thomas, 'Today' style editor and author of the Buzz for In Touch Weekly, shows you the hot holiday items that Hollywood has been buzzing about.

Film fashion
For the lady who loves the magic of the movies, these silver screen-inspired accessories are sure to steal her heart.

Hollywood icon Marilyn Monroe left a legend of sensuality and style in her wake. Give the gift of movie star glamour with exact crystal replicas of her estate jewelry from the Dolores Hope Masi Marilyn Collection. But don't expect to be dripping in diamonds. Most of Marilyn's on-screen bling was actually Swarovski crystals, so these replicas are just like the real thing! $195-1295, dhmmarilyncollection.com

Stars like Julia Roberts, Oprah Winfrey and Dakota Fanning not only add their talent to the new live action adaptation of "Charlotte's Web" - they're also fans of the adorable clothes and accessories inspired by their characters in the classic children's tale. You can get caught up in the "web" too! Choose from necklaces, earrings, clutches and tracksuits, and give someone special a reminder of their favorite childhood fable. $25-1,200, shopintuition.com

Leading man
He not only put up the tree, he helped decorate it, too! Reward him with a gift that your guy wouldn't think to get for himself.

Stars like Jon Bon Jovi and Jimmy Fallon travel in style with Tumi. Inspired by the sleek lines of classic Italian motorcycles, the new T3 Ducati collection is luxurious luggage that will make his heart race! $150-525, tumi.com

Help him stay organized while he's on the go with a leather necktie travel case ($35). Game show hosts Pat Sajak and Alex Trebek both took home top prize when they received these helpful holders as gifts. And, get double points by sticking a sleek new necktie inside. Angela Bassett and Kathy Griffin like their men in Mon Atelier's one-of-a-kind silk styles ($175, monatelier.com).

Or, get creative and stash a belt or a watch in the handy holder. Watches from Philip Stein Teslar contain chips that emit signals to increase energy, improve concentration and even help you sleep. While Oprah and Madonna are fans of the uber-expensive original styles, their new Classic Collection features the same technology for a fraction of the price. $595-17,500, saksfifthavenue.com

Star style
Whether she craves casual and comfy or cutting-edge cool, these fashionable finds will speak to her style.

Make it a super-soft season of joy. Tyra Banks and Kelly Clarkson slip into the Chadsworth & Haig leopard print doeskin robe, and the matching bear makes for the perfect presentation. Now that¡¯s our kind of teddy! $95 for robe, $25 for bear; chadsworthandhaig.com

Or, cozy up to her with cashmere this holiday season. Stars like Teri Hatcher love to wrap up in sweaters from Cris. In fact, Christina Aguilera adored their hooded zip-up so much - she took it with her when leaving a photo shoot. The ultra-long sweater comes in four great colors and can go over everything. After all, 'tis the season to layer! $333, crislosangeles.com
