What do you get when you mix a fabulously dressed and finely coiffed soccer star with a fine tuned and toned fashionista? The Beckhams of course! The photogenic couple already has a budding empire, including sport endorsements and a clamor-worthy clothesline DVB. Their latest joint venture? A his and hers fragrance line called intimately Beckham. Hers is a blend of Casablanca lily, bergamot and vanilla, while His is filled with spicy cardamom, patchouli and amber. “I don’t like anything too heavy,” Victoria tells PEOPLE. “When you can smell someone before you can see them, I never think that’s particularly cool. I like something that’s subtle.” Says David, “A young kid could wear mine, or an older man. I know my granddad wears it and my sons wear it. There is no age limit to them.They’re very intimate to us both.” Other beauty essentials for the new Californians include hair clippers, for David’s close cut, and Johnson’s baby wipes for Victoria. “I use them on my kids, for taking off make-up,” confides Victoria. “Just have [them] in your bag all of the time. I couldn’t live without them!”

Last night’s Fashion Rocks concert gave celebs a chance to strutt their stuff in the mist of New York’s Fashion Week — and right before the VMA’s this weekend. Avril Lavigne and Tyra Banks used the opportunity to make a statement with their hair. Known for her punk-rock pink highlights, the petite Avril combed her long tresses back into a two-toned puff. Tyra added to her supermodel height, twisting up her chestnut locks into a triple ring bun. Will we see more outrageoous hairdos on Sunday night? Hope so! Though honestly, we wouldn’t try either of these up-dos ourselves. Tell us: What do you think of their piled-high hairdos? Would you wear either one?

Vote on Avril and Tyra’s complete looks! and see who ruled the Fashion Rocks red carpet!

Though Ashlee Simpson caused quite a stir at Wednesday’s BCBG show, nothing could have prepared us for yesterday’s Miss Sixty show. Just as we were getting settled, Maggie Gyllenhaal descended the stairs and sat directly in front of us! The actress and newlingere model, clad in sexy high-waisted trousers, had to put her gold wire aviators on to shield herself from blinding camera flashes. But total chaos broke out when a jeans-clad Hilary Swank entered — being led by Demi Moore! Hilary greeted Maggie with a kiss while gorgeous Clive Owen slipped into his seat next to Demi. With everyone going so crazy over that fab foursome, Mischa Barton’s entrance was hardly noticed. When the show finally started it was hard to tear our eyes away from the front row, but the Italian design house’s bold all-over logo prints, electric colors like yellow, mauve and steel blue, patent bags, wide brimmed hats and super short-shorts inspired by Andy Warhol’s pop art kept the audience wrapt. When the lights came up, Demi, Hilary and Maggie were gone in a flash, to the safe haven of backstage!
