Celebrity Style: Hilary Duff Most Americans voted in jeans and sweats, but not Hilary Duff — the actress dressed to the nines while hitting the polls yesterday. She wore a bright saffron Diane Von Furstenberg cardigan, along with a black bandage skirt and patent Brian Atwood pumps. Red lipstick is a sassy finishing touch, as are her stacked silver rings. All together it's part sophisticated, part sexy. Roar.
Scarlett Johansson bundled up yesterday for a walk around NYC with her friends. Despite her hat and scarf, she went without gloves — perfect to give us another peek at that diamond engagement ring, which now sits next to her wedding band. She also made time to stop at the polls, and after another weekend proudly rallying for Obama we know who got her vote. Now that her other "fiancé" Barack has won the election and her real-life husband Ryan Reynolds has completed the NYC marathon, it seems like Scarlett's support can really make a difference.
Last night history was made when we elected Barack Obama as the next president of the United States. Yesterday we got a look at stars hitting the polls and there hasn't been a day in recent memory where we didn't have celebrities campaigning in some way — mostly for Barack Obama.

Heidi Montag and Spencer Pratt joined the rest of the celebrity voters and headed to the polls in LA yesterday. While their choice for President didn't win the election, the couple still took the opportunity to pose for patriotic photos. As they supported their candidates, Heidi's dad was endorsing Spencer. He told Life & Style, "Every father wants his daughter to be with someone like Spencer, believe me," and spoke highly of his future son-in-law. Heidi's mother, who is divorced from Mr. Montag, might not agree, but now the couple has at least one family member on their side.

After taking a nice hiatus from filming since working on Vicky Cristina Barcelona last year, Javier Bardem was finally back on the set of Biutiful in Barcelona yesterday. Javier will be back to his Spanish-speaking roots, playing a father trying to put his life back together after a failed love affair. We're still a little disappointed that we won't get to see Javier back on the big screen with Penelope in Nine, but a sweet story with a gorgeous Spanish backdrop won't draw any complaints from us.
