It seems Christina Aguilera is already passing on her love of great shoes to her new baby boy Max Liron. The singer and her husband may have kept quiet on the sex of the baby but certainly kept themselves busying buying blue goodies. Prior to the birth, Christina had ordered two pairs of Robeez sneaker booties — the Athletic brown and teal booties and the the Trainer in Royal (both $28) — for her recent baby shower. That’s not all, the new parents also picked out this luxury organic blanket in ocean blue, $55, from robbieadrian.com and this “new” boy onesie, $24, from huddybuddy.com. Now we can’t wait to see the little guy modeling his new kicks!

No glitz, no glam, no gorgeous gowns. No doubt about it, last weekend’s replacement of the usually star-studded Golden Globe Awards with a live press-conference didn’t do much to satisfy our celeb-fashion obsession. And while we might not have been able to see Best Actress in a Movie Drama nominee Angelina stroll the red carpet in L’Wren Scott, or TV Comedy Series Actress nominee America Ferrera strike a pose in Zac Posen, that didn’t stop us from dreaming. Click here for our gallery of what we wish the stars had worn, and get in on the action by voting for your favorites.

Kate Bosworth has gone from fashion plate to pin-up, as the latest cover girl for Calvin Klein Jeans. Announced yesterday, it’s the first global campaign for Bosworth, 25, who up until now has only modeled for Coach in China. The ads aim to feel “clean, pure and simple all-American,” said Malcolm Carfrae of Calvin Klein tells WWD. And despite the fact Bosworth is used to looking stunning on the red carpet, the starlet claims getting in front of the camera can be awkward. “It’s funny, I definitely feel much more uncomfortable modeling because it’s not something I know how to do,” Bosworth told Nylon Magazine. “When I act, I’m not aware of the camera; I’m just there with the actor in that moment. As a model, you’re very aware of the camera. What I enjoyed most about doing this campaign was finding and becoming a certain character. I think working with people like [photographer] David Sims and [stylist]Karl Templer, who want to find and shape that character, instead of simply capturing a pretty picture, is really exciting. So, this campaign was a little bit like an acting job in that way.” From what we’ve seen, we say it’s a job well done.

What’s the telltale sign of a good party? “It’s always a big success when the fire marshal comes! I’m very excited about it,” co-host Angie Harmon tells PEOPLE at the opening of the Jimmy Choo Flagship store on Rodeo Drive, benefiting the Entertainment Industry Foundation’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund. Latecomers, including The Hills Audrina Patridge, were forced to line up outside, while early birds, including Debra Messing, Lisa Kudrow and Lauren Conrad, checked out the shoe and handbag collections inside the spacious 1940s boudoir-style digs (the largest Jimmy Choo store to date). Gabrielle Union took one look at the Catherine Malandrino-clad Harmon and announced, “You’re giving us all low self-esteem!” before the two admitted they were obsessed with each other. But the true obsession: those infamous sky-high heels. “I told Tamara [Mellon, President and Founder of Jimmy Choo], ‘I know you think that you’re getting these [shoes] back, but you’re not. I’m actually going to fight you in these shoes! We’re going to sell tickets!” And the shoes are glamorous enough to make every a pregnant woman get into stillettos. Elisabeth Rohm tells PEOPLE, “I’m almost six and a half months pregnant, and I’m wearing Jimmy Choos, so clearly I’m an addict to Jimmy Choo!” Amazingly, a Philip Lim-clad Debra Messing was able to actually focus on the store itself. “Oh, it’s spectacular. It’s glamorous and spacious and everything a Jimmy Choo boutique should be.” If you can’t make it to the store, check out the Spring collection online.

Katherine Heigl was radiant at the premiere of her new movie 27 Dresses. And while part of this could be attributed to her recent wedding to Josh Kelley, her gorgeous gray dress and elegant hair and makeup certainly didn’t hurt. We were so impressed with Heigl’s look that we decided to track it down from head to toe.

MAKEUP MAGIC
Katherine’s make-up artist, Monika Blunder, gave us the step-by-step on how to recreate her look. Taking inspiration from Grace Kelly, Blunder started by giving Katherine luminous skin, first prepping her face with a light serum. She then applied Teint Innocence Naturally Luminous Fluid Makeup in Shell, $45, to her whole face. To give Heigl a natural looking flush, she brushed Chanel Powder Blush in Orchid Rose, $40, along her cheekbones and apples of her cheeks. She used sheer pink-hued shadows from Chanel’s Quadra Eye Shadow palette in Demure, $55, on her lids and brow bone and the brown shade on her outer lid. A coat of matte Lipstick Queen lipstick in Rouge Sinner, $18, completed this classic look.
