He may not be quite a household name yet, but with dashing good looks and the ability to make anybody around him swoon; Austin Butler is definitely one to watch, but not just for his physical features, his fashion’s hot too. He’s the resident bad boy of the CW’s new hit seriesThe Carrie Diaries, where he gets to sport ’80s chic, retro attire. Think Feris Bueller. But in real life he’s just a regular guy. Think James Dean. That is, a regular guy who does film and TV who also happens to be dating Hollywood actress and incredibly fashionable Vanessa Hudgens.

Austin’s style of dress is understated but effective. He frequently styles his wardrobe with hip accessories like sunglasses, caps, and hats. For most, if not all, guys comfort is what you look for in anything they wear. On the street, Austin ops for a straight denim jean or slim fitted trouser with distressed leather boots paired with a leather jacket over a fitted tee (see slideshow). On the red carpet he models a classic suit and tie fitted to perfection in the style of Aramani and Dolce Gabbana.

Whether it’s in career or fashion, Selena Gomez and Austin Butler are doing everything right. Be it male or female, if you’re in search of a fresh face new ingénue or dapper dressed leading man, or just need a little eye candy. These two are the ones to watch!

SPOILERS ahead! If you haven’t watched The Carrie Diaries Episode 1.12, “A First Time for Everything,” proceed with caution. You have been warned!

Carrie, Sebastian and the fans (a.k.a. ME) were dealt a heart crushing blow in last night’s penultimate episode of The Carrie Diaries (check out the recap here). The breakup of my favorite high school couple isn’t all that’s happening, though. After a screening of the episode, executive producer Amy B. Harris and dreamboat Austin Butler (Sebastian Kydd) talked about the aftermath and what’s coming next for everyone in Carrie Bradshaw’s circle.

Breaking Up Is Hard to Do. As far as break ups go, this one was a doozy. As Butler confirms, “It’s one of those break-ups where it’s like this explosion that neither side really wants, but it feels like there’s no other option.” So, is there any hope that we’ll see the two of them together again? Harris confides, “What I like about Carrie Bradshaw is she can make a lot out of nothing and then sometimes, she’s looking at it in just the right way. It’s a journey for her… This is a relationship I want to keep mining for as long as I can.” Does that mean Carrie might have a Kydd-type date to the upcoming Prom? Harris admits that a few weeks after the break-up, they’re in a surprising place. Despite their heated argument, no one is mad, “this one is just sad for both of them.” That isn’t a no, though and fingers are being crossed.

More Than Words. Why was Sebastian so upset at the party? Harris admits that Carrie’s constant apologizing only highlighted something that may have not originally bothered him. Also, “I think he was super pissed off that she hadn’t said, “I love you.” It wasn’t a secret to Sebastian that she felt that way, but her over-thinking the situation made it frustrating. Butler adds that Carrie’s over-thinking is one of the things Sebastian loves most about her. Over-thinking and thinking about things in a different way. It creates a deeper connection that he’s never had. Even if it is exhausting. As Harris admits, it’s not easy to be with someone who wants to endlessly talk about their feelings.

Big Love. Butler was asked about what it was like, knowing that he was NOT the ultimate love of Carrie’s life. “I have to put the blinders on and put my focus into what’s happening right then and the feeling of love and the feeling of heartbreak that’s happening right now and not ever focus on what’s happening in the future.” Harris also shares that those high school loves will always matter. They will always be the most important because they were the first. They will be “momentous. Big.”

Let the River Run. One of Harris’ greatest (most pleasing) reveals is that Sebastian is not at all upset about Carrie going after her byline and hunting for her future career. He’s upset that their big, important night became less about them and more about Carrie and the VIP situation and “caring about it more than she should,”. She also admits that Mouse may have finally found someone who will allow her to have both love and career. That career being as an Ivy League student.

Future Sex Love Sounds. Harris wouldn’t give up a lot of details but tells us that, “We won’t see, but we’ll get an introduction to one of the Sex and the City characters.” She also tells us, “We’re gonna see Carrie using a different mechanism for writing which will be a little nod to seeing her typing later.” And, as Harris tells us, the major co-star of SATC will also get some airtime when see some reminiscent NYC scenes. She hints that New York may not be the only familiar character we’ll be seeing in season two.

Live To Tell. As for what’s next for Walt: Harris tells us, “Walt’s gonna be forced to face his choices a lot sooner than I think he wanted to. And it’s going to have some pretty dramatic effects on all of them.” She goes on to say that perhaps Walt’s secret is revealed somewhat faster than Walt would have liked. And there’s the possibility that people will be upset about Walt’s admission. Maggie being one of them.

Feelings of Forever. The Carrie Diaries hasn’t been promised a 2nd season (yet) but we’re all keeping our fingers crossed. Now that Carrie has experienced a lot (but not all) of her “firsts,” what comes next? Can we look forward to Sebastian on the loose in Manhattan without Carrie? Will Walt’s relationship with Bennet, build? Harris feels very optimistic about another season and is already working out the intricate stories for our favorite characters. There is so much more to story to tell.

The Carrie Diaries season finale brings Prom to the lives of Carrie and her friends and when everything “explodes” in the beginning of the episode, the Prom may not be the memory making time they all were hoping for. As Harris tells us, “the Prom is going to be surprising for a lot of people.”

The Carrie Diaries star Austin Butler shares his vision of the ideal girlfriend. Does gal pal Vanessa Hudgens fit the bill?

Austin Butler plays the bad boy in The Carrie Diaries, but in real life he loves himself a good girl. The actor sat down with Cosmopolitan and talked about love, trust, and the perfect woman. Does girlfriend Vanessa Hudgens fit the bill?

When asked what qualities he needs in a partner, Butler said a caring nature and passion for life are No. 1.

“Someone who is selfless in nature and cares about others — that’s such a huge thing for me,” he told the mag. “How someone treats a waiter or doorman can tell you so much about a person. And I’m attracted to someone who is a hard worker and is passionate about what they do.”

And of course, trust is everything. “As soon as you start feeling like you can’t trust the person and you need to check his phone or have his Facebook password or look through his messages — as soon as that trust barrier is broken — it’s hard to keep a relationship going after that,” Butler said.

“That’s one thing my dad taught me, because he’d been cheated on once and he always had this sick feeling in his stomach that she would do it again. You have to be able to trust that that person is going to come home to you.”

But if he wants to stick with Hudgens, he’d better be prepared to go to Coachella every year for the rest of his life.

“The first time I went, I thought, ‘This is heaven,’” Hudgens told Cosmo. “You just feel completely free. I’m going to go every single year until I die.”

Austin Butler, who plays the title character’s love interest on “Sex and The City” prequel “The Carrie Diaries,” recently proclaimed his admiration for the original series’ leading man, Mr. Big. “He’s so cool, he’s such a bad a–,” Butler told The Huffington Post in February.

But rather than following in the commitment-phobic footsteps of Chris Noth’s suave playboy in real life, Butler, 21, seems happily devoted to his girlfriend of more than a year, Vanessa Hudgens. In a new interview with Cosmopolitan, Butler reveals the qualities he looks for in a woman.

“Someone who is selfless in nature and cares about others—that’s such a huge thing for me. How someone treats a waiter or doorman can tell you so much about a person. And I’m attracted to someone who is a hard worker and is passionate about what they do,” he said.

Butler also opened up to Cosmo about why he’s come to embrace a positive outlook on life, as evidenced from the inspirational aphorisms he typically tweets.

“I went through a period when I was rebellious and a mess of a person,” he says. “I’d swing from happy to depressed, and I realized the patterns of my mental state were contingent on the feelings I was allowing in my head. Depression and anxiety can’t fit in your head if you’re cultivating feelings of joy and inspiration. So now every morning, I go for a walk and list all the things I’m grateful for. It makes me so happy.”

Butler also has a supportive family to be grateful for. When comparing himself to his “Carrie Diaries” character Sebastian Kydd, he told Just Jared: “I come from a very, loving supporting family, not very wealthy at all, very different in that way. I think that’s shaped him into this guy who puts up walls and protects himself from that pain of not being loved. I don’t have that so much. I don’t have many walls that I put up. So it’s kind of learning to do that for him.”
