Yesterday Lindsay Lohan blogged about the launch of her leggings line 6126 in New York, and PEOPLE caught up with the multi-tasking star at the after party for the Cinema Society and Dolce & Gabbana sponsored premiere of Filth and Wisdom at the Thompson LES hotel to hear how it all went. Lohan tells PEOPLE that “it was really exciting. It was at Henri Bendel’s and they did an amazing job for us. We sold 700 leggings in an hour, more than I ever thought would ever happen.” And Lohan is clearly pleased at her involvement in the line, telling PEOPLE “it was a really cool thing to be a part of and to know that I had a hand in designing the leggings.” And the leggings launch wasn’t the only exciting thing on Lohan’s agenda while in New York. “I went to Madonna’s show last night. Every time I see another show of hers she becomes a newer icon to me. She’s timeless in a way that Marilyn Monroe was but was didn’t get to fulfill.” And considering that Monroe was the inspiration behind the name of Lohan’s 6126 line, that may just be the ultimate compliment.

The fashion world was abuzz after the Chanel Cruise 2009 collection showing — who else but Karl Lagerfeld would think to make stiletto heels actually lethal? The pistol-heeled shoes were a fashion favorite, but would anyone be brave enough to wear them on the red carpet? Well, Madonna has never shied away from starting a new trend or wearing a bold look, so the Material Girl hit the red carpet of her Filth and Wisdom premiere last night, sponsored by the Cinema Society and Dolce and Gabbana, in the gun-heeled shoes. We think it’s great that at 50-years old Madonna is still rocking the newest and coolest straight from the runway, but we want to know what you think! Tell us: Do you love Madonna’s heels or hate them?

Celebrity stylist and How to Look Good Naked host Carson Kressley is getting set to make over America with a tour that has him stopping off at New York & Company stores throughout the country to host runway shows and give style advice. PEOPLE spoke with Carson, who gave us a sneak peek at the top tips he’ll be letting fans in on. At the top of the list working with what you’ve got. “Nobody likes ten pounds of sugar in a five pound bag,” Carson jokes. So ignore what the size on the label says and choose items based on how they fit your shape. And while wearing dark colors may be an easy way to trim off inches, he warns against falling into a common trap: “Monochromatic dressing doesn’t equal all black,” he says. Instead, go head-to-toe in a tone that flatters your complexion, like charcoal, chocolate brown or plum. Finally, he explains, “A great outfit is as great as its accessories. They’re the salt and pepper to your wardrobe!” Carson recommends that you fill your closet with basics and then “change up the bag, the jewelry, your belt your shoes. You can get a multitude of looks out of a couple staple pieces of clothing.” Check out more from Carson in person when he kicks off his tour in N.Y.C. on October 20th.
