The day before her birthday (she turns 27 today!), Jessica Simpson showed off her newly svelte figure in a pair of Justin Timberlake’s jeans. All that working out has paid off — Jessica looks great in these flared William Rast jeans. (Not surprisingly, Cameron Diaz and Jessica Biel also have similar pairs.) The William Rast ultra low rise”Savoy” jean is not only becoming a celeb-fav, but most retailers, who aren’t getting them until the end of the month, are taking pre-orders! But we found the “Savoy”, $253, on sale already at solutionsdenim.com. Want Jessica’s University of Texas T-shirt too? Get her Retro Sport tee at revolveclothing.com, $48.

Mariah Carey has never been one to go the low-key route with fashion — from big hair to little dresses, Mariah goes for high-drama at all times. So, why would that stop when she’s wearing as little as possible? The singer hit the ocean in Italy in a custom-made Roberto Cavalli string bikini with some pretty large bling, from her dangling earrings to her major Cavalli necklace. We can’t say that it’s a look that we would personally rock (see our tan-line phobias), but we can see how others would find it super-sexy. We want to know what you think! Tell us: Would you wear bling with your bikini? Do you like it on Mariah?
