ALL MY CHILDREN's Chrishell Stause (Amanda) is a busy gal, but while prepping for an evening on Broadway — to watch co-star Jacob Young (JR) in Beauty and the Beast — she made some time to divulge that girls will be girls when it comes to S-T-Y-L-E.

"I go casual a lot, but I'm a definite girly girl," she explained. "I love when I get to dress up and feel pretty and sexy. In fact, I'm wearing Vera Wang tonight. What's funny is I held up the dress and Leven (Rambin, Lily), who is definitely one of the fashionistas at AMC, eyed it and said, 'Vera Wang.'"

"Leven is always fashionable, and so is Alexa (Havins, Babe). Alexa and I are the same. If we don't have an event, Alexa and I don't usually put too much effort into our [appearance]. But if we have an event, Alexa is always top-notch put-together. That gives me something to strive for," she laughs. Connie (Fletcher, Erin) called me today asking, 'What are you going to wear tonight?' We're total girls when it comes to that stuff. I love it. And we're all really close here at AMC. It sounds cliché, but it's really like a family."

But even with all the friendly tips, Stause admits that she has had moments on the red carpet that were not picture perfect. "I think everyone's going to have those moments," she groans. "I don't think certain things I've worn are the most flattering, but you can't take it back, so you might as well learn from it. I can see small changes, weight-wise, just by looking at old photos. You normally fluctuate 5-10 pounds; it's not a big deal. You normally wouldn't even notice, but when I look through pictures that's one of the biggest things I notice. If I have some scene in a bathing suit on the show then I'm dieting and I look smaller. Other times I'm like, 'Who cares? I'm eating pizza!'"
