Welcome to Team Katniss, Portia and Octavia!

Lionsgate officially announced today that the glam squad-like roles have been filled by actresses Latarsha Rose and Brooke Bundy, respectively.

But who are the two actresses lucky to win the casting lottery?

Meet Latarsha Rose, who will be playing the role of Peeta Mellark's stylist, Portia.

Rose has appeared in bit roles on All My Children, CSI, Bones, Swingtown, Windfall, and Law & Order. Ironically, Rose also appeared on the 2002 reality show, The It Factor, which followed 12 New York City actors as they go about the struggle of "making it" in the entertainment business.

Welcome to the big leagues, Rose!

Brooke Bundy, a relative newcomer who has two short films and one fairly unknown feature to her name, will be playing the role of Octavia, a member of Katniss Everdeen's prep team.

Octavia and Portia are both likeable characters from the offensively opulent Capitol, where kids don't have to enter the horrific Hunger Games lottery. They'll most likely be getting fairly small amounts of screen time, but who knows!

Now for that juicy role of Katniss' main stylist Cinna...

Stop teasing us Lionsgate and just tell us who will be filling those fabulous shoes!

Lenny Kravitz, anyone?
