Chanel Iman is the latest star to bare her wardrobe to the Bluefly Closet Confessions team … but the supermodel doesn’t have much of a closet.
“I basically live in a suitcase and on an airplane,” she admits in the clip above. “I’m always on the road, I travel everywhere to shoot.” Though she doesn’t pack much when traveling for work, “when it’s time to go on a vacation I pack a lot of stuff,” she shares.

Also among the goods: a black stage jacket worn for Jackson’s 1993 Super Bowl appearance, his iconic right-hand crystal glove (top right), jackets seen in performances of “Beat It” and “Bad” (top left, bottom right) and his “gravity shoes” (bottom left).

She’s got the fashion thing down, but Whitney Port recently expanded into a new arena: jewelry. The former reality starlet is launching her Bits & Bobs by Whitney Eve line of accessories this fall, but admits it wasn’t the easiest process.
“I really had to explain and translate what was in my head to the people that know how to make it,” she told PEOPLE Monday night at the What to Expect When You’re Expecting premiere in L.A. “I can’t make it on my own. So that’s always a challenge.”
Introducing Bits & Bobs on her website last month, Port wrote that she “had a blast going through the bins and bins of chains, beads, brooches and vintage jewelry in order to achieve what we have made. I cannot wait for many more [collections].”
The costume jewelry line features “a lot of mixed metals and chains,” Port explained. “It’s vintage-y looking. It’s kind of like punk mixed with a little feminine edge. Lots of golds and silver. It’s pretty exciting.”

“I have a motto that’s ‘Look Good, Feel Good, Play Good,’” Hope Solo tells PEOPLE. But she admits that sometimes, she hasn’t been able to live up to those words.
“Over the last 10 years I’ve really struggled with my skin in major soccer tournaments — the Olympics, World Cups,” she says. “That’s in front of millions of viewers. And I still to this day have to sign autographs on some of the older pictures where I have some not-so-great-looking skin. I get pretty insecure about that.”
Blaming her constant travels and sweaty practices for her breakouts, the soccer star says she didn’t realize she was struggling with sensitive skin. “I never used that terminology,” she explains. “I knew that my skin broke out, I knew that it would sting and get redness depending on what products I used, but I didn’t know that meant it was sensitive.”

A veteran of the Hollywood makeup chair, Christine Taylor is still flaunting flawless skin at 40 thanks to a few simple habits she’s picked up along the way.
“I’m really diligent,” the actress tells PEOPLE about her daily beauty routine, which starts and ends with a good cleanse. “I never miss the morning face wash or the nighttime face wash.” Even after partying into the wee hours at last week’s Met Gala with husband Ben Stiller? Oh yes. “I was so tired, I just thought, ‘Should I go to sleep because I’m getting up in three or four hours anyway?’ I won’t; I have to get [my makeup] off.”
But it goes beyond cleansing; it’s about ingredients, too. After wasting time — and more money than she would like to admit to her husband! — testing out mystery products from natural markets, the mom was thrilled when new body care line Nourish by Sensible Organics tapped her to be their spokesperson. “The fresh fig body butter is my all-time favorite, and I load it on before bed,” she shares. “It’s not so greasy that you think you’re going to get your sheets [dirty]. It saturates but then you wake up with nice smooth hands and feet.”
