Janet Jackson isn’t the only artist adding lingerie designer to her resume. Usher, who already has two successful men’s and women’s fragrances, is now starting his own intimates line. While sitting front-row at the Marlies Dekkers Lingerie show in Paris this weekend, the R&B singer told WWD, “You may have heard that I might be launching a lingerie line for men and woman. Comfort and intimacy is very important.” There is no launch date yet, but some of Usher’s lingerie designs are featured in his new “Trading Places” video. We’re excited to see what Usher comes up with. Tell us: Would you wear Usher’s lingerie?

Taking a cue from another famous Brit — Lily Allen — Kate Moss added hot pink streaks to her blonde locks this weekend. The supermodel, known for her quirky style, gave her bob a rock ‘n’ roll makeover for her daughter Lila Grace’s birthday party in London. Other famous guests like Kelly Osbourne donned curly pink wigs and funky clothes, while Kate herself rocked sexy zebra-striped pants. No word on what the official theme of the party was, but we think the pink streaks look fun on Kate. Tell us: Do you think Kate Moss should keep the streaks? Do you love or hate them?

What Hollywood fashionista doesn’t love an excuse to indulge in shoes? And at last week’s Rodeo Drive Walk of Style Award event honoring Manolo Blahnik, everyone from Lucy Liu to Hilary Duff, January Jones and Nicky Hilton had their best excuse yet. Liu, who presented Blahnik with the award, wore his chic and strappy sandals. “These shoes are incredibly comfortable,” she told PEOPLE. “They’re slip-ons first of all, and they’re incredibly elegant. I love the idea of detail that he puts into his shoes — and they’re super comfortable.” As for how many pairs of Manolos Liu owns, “You literally cannot count!” she laughs. As guests milled around, drinking mojitos and looking at the iconic designs displayed in Lucite boxes, Hilton dished about what she thinks makes the designer’s shoes so popular. “You just feel good in them,” she said. “They’re so fun and they’re all so different. I have a lot [of pairs]. It’s a hobby — you collect them.” And we can’t think of a chicer pastime. –Reporting by Jenny Sundel
