Lindsay Lohan Adds Hosiery to Her Leggings Line

With her successful leggings collection flying off the shelves and her new spray tan line set to hit Sephora.com on April 15, Lindsay Lohan is busy working on the next addition to her growing empire: hosiery! This summer the actress will launch five styles of tights, including matte and shiny blacks and nudes to her legwear brand 6126. For more daring fashionistas, she’s even created a pair with one black and one white leg. Regardless of the style, however, each will feature a figure-taming shaping component. “Tights are another staple, just like leggings,” Lindsay tells WWD of her decision to expand her legwear brand. “For girls that don’t want to wear socks with their leggings, tights are a natural alternative. They are a sexy and a classic staple.” Lindsay’s 6126 hosiery will launch in July at L.A.’s Intuition boutique. Tell us: Will you buy Lindsay’s hosiery?

Italian designer Valentino has enjoyed decades as one of Hollywood’s favorite designers, and Thursday he became a permanent fixture in Beverly Hills with a coveted induction into the Rodeo Drive Walk of Style. The icon, who has dressed the likes of Jackie O, Cate Blanchett, and Gwyneth Paltrow, received the honor from yet another adoring fashionista, Anne Hathaway, who donned a pretty floral Valentino frock for the occasion. “He’s someone who really knows what it is to be alive, and I think that comes through in all of his creations,” Hathaway tells PEOPLE.com of the designer, whom she met on the set of The Devil Wears Prada three years ago. Before presenting the award, the actress recounted all the times she “tried to be perfect in Valentino for Valentino,” including her appearance in a bowed frock at the West Coast premiere of Valentino: The Last Emperor the night before. But her all-time favorite Valentino creation was worn by someone else. “The Julia Roberts Oscar dress is way up there for me. She’s a beautiful woman so to be able to say that she’s never looked so beautiful is a very, very big statement,” gushed the Academy Award nominee, who knows how hard it is to hit a fashion homerun on the big day. As for the designer, “I am completely drunk on compliments,” he said while accepting his plaque, which will reside alongside those of fellow honorees Gianna and Donatella Versace, Mario Testino, Manolo Blahnik, and Salvatore Ferragamo. Valentino added, “My mother always said I was walking in the clouds. Now you can say people are walking on me!” – By Jenny Sundel
