If you are anything like us, Monday night television is fashion heaven. Between Gossip Girl and The City, the stylish casts show off everything on our fashion wish list, and now City star Whitney Port is helping to make that list a little easier to shop. By Wednesday of each week, The City star gives a detailed recap of everything she wore — from head-to-toe — in a scene-by-scene guide! From her orange dress (DVF, of course) in the opening of this week’s scene to the babydoll Miguelina dress she wore in her climactic scene with Jay, everything is there. Check them all out on Whitney’s official website at whitneyport.com.

Turns out that Victoria Beckham isn’t the only star with a new ad being revealed today — it’s a big day for the new face of Miu Miu, Posh’s pal Katie Holmes! The atmospheric color ads are also shot by Mert & Marcus and feature the actress against a blazing sky that the label says is meant to evoke “a certain Fellini-esque chaotic excess.” As for the star herself, a statement from Miu Miu explains that she “portrays a luminous icon radiating a sense of mystery and theatricality.” We just know that Holmes has never looked more glamorous, and we can’t wait to see the full set of images as they roll out in magazines this spring. Tell us: What do you think of Katie’s new ad?

First David Beckham famously stripped down to his briefs for Giorgio Armani, and now his wife Victoria has done the same. After announcing several months ago that she would be the latest model for the Emporio Armani underwear line, the ads have finally come out. And the results are simply stunning — moody black-and-white portraits shot by Mert & Marcus that show the lithe mother of three lounging around an unmade bed in her barest essentials. Rumor has it that Posh is under contract with Armani through 2012, so get ready to see a lot of Posh in magazines and on billboards near you for the next few years. Victoria says in a statement, “It’s an honour to have been selected by Mr. Armani to represent the Emporio Armani Underwear brand and to execute his vision with the incredibly talented team of Mert & Marcus.” Tell us: What do you think of Posh’s underwear ads?

Move over Brad Pitt, here comes Leonard DiCaprio. Leo is set to take on the role as TAG Heuer Global Ambassador — a position that Pitt has occupied for six years. But unlike most ad campaigns, this one is all about doing good. According to Tag Heuer, the royalties generated from the three-year agreement (as well as a multi-million dollar commitment from Leonardo himself) will go to support major environment initiatives. “TAG Heuer is a strong brand with a proven commitment to doing good,” said DiCaprio. “It is a great day when a company as respected as TAG Heuer explores a different way to business — selling products and giving back at the same time.” But we’ll all benefit from the star’s generosity — Leo will be featured in the brand’s ad campaigns starting this spring, wearing the Carrera Day-Date watch.
