Angelina Jolie’s Stylist Dishes on Her Post-Baby Style

Angelina Jolie may have her hands full caring for her newborn twins and four other children, but she still finds time for another passion — fashion! Jen Rade, Jolie’s longtime stylist, told PEOPLE at W‘s New York Affair this week that despite Angie’s large brood, it’s not hard to get the mother-of-six on the phone to discuss her sartorial options. “No, [it's not tough], but she’s definitely got a lot going on. Any time you talk to her there’s a lot of kids in the background, that’s for sure.” Rade is working with Jolie to dress her for the Changeling junket later this month, as well as the film’s premiere October 4th. “It’ll be her first big US appearance since having the babies,” Rade says. “I feel some pressure, but I think I can do it. We’ve been doing it for five years together.” Is it a challenge finding clothes that work for Jolie’s post-pregnancy body? “Not really. She’s breastfeeding so the boobs are bigger, but no. It’s going to be fun. I’m looking forward to it.” Rade describes Jolie’s style as “kind of classic with a rock and roll edge” and says she loves working with Angelina because “she’s funny and smart.” Plus, she’s a fab mom: “She loves it — or else she wouldn’t do it.” – Reporting by Kathy Ehrich Dowd.

Victoria Beckham’s New Short Do: “Think Gamine”

Victoria Beckham has always been willing to play with her hairstyle — from long to short to blonde to bob, we’ve seen it all. Or so we thought! Posh turned up at Marc Jacobs yesterday with a closely cropped do courtesy of Garren, the stylist who famously took Linda Evangelista short in the ’90s. Garren was so inspired by Posh that he says “it was clear that we had to go short and create a new look that embraced her beauty, great personality and body.” And the result is a short-banged gamine cut that calls to mind Jean Seberg or Audrey Hepburn in the ’50s. And the new do wasn’t the only thing getting people talking — Posh was sporting a $7 million, 19-carat diamond ring on loan from Chopard at the show. Eat your heart out, Beyonce! Tell us: What do you think of Posh’s new close crop? Do you love it or hate it?

Lauren Conrad isn’t the only TV star showcasing one of her designs at Primetime Emmy Awards. Project Runway‘s Christian Siriano will also be creating a one-of-a-kind red carpet look for a second Emmy trophy girl. “I am honored to design a gown for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards trophy presenter,” said Christian in a released statement. “It has been so inspiring watching the Emmys every year to see who is going to be the most fabulous diva at the show. It’s wonderful to see what the stars are wearing and which designer takes over the carpet. It will be such an experience seeing my own creation on stage.” We are sure that Christian’s dress will be nothing short of “fierce”. The Primetime Emmys will be aired on Sunday, September 21 on ABC. Tell us: Whose dress are you more excited to see, Lauren Conrad’s or Christian Siriano’s?
