FIRST LOOK: Eva Mendes’s Steamy Calvin Klein Ads

Steven Klein for Calvin Klein

If Eva Mendes’s first set of Calvin Klein Underwear ads rivaled David Beckham’s Armani ones, this new set really raises the bar on sexiness. The sultry star strikes a pose in a black lacy bra and panty set– complete with thigh-highs and garters– for the fall 2009 Calvin Klein Underwear ads. And if that wasn’t hot enough, Eva joins forces with model Jamie Dornan for an equally provocative campaign for Calvin Klein Jeans this fall. Between her wet hair and shimmering skin, both ads are definitely showing the sexy side of Mendes. Tell us: What do you think of Eva Mendes’s new Calvin Klein ads?

Lydia Hearst’s CFDA Fashion Awards Diary

Johns PkI/Splash News Online

Want to know what it’s like to go to a major award show? The model (and Hearst heiress) gives PEOPLE.com the inside scoop on getting ready for Fashion’s Oscars — and hanging with fellow guests Blake, Heidi and Justin! Click here to see all the stars at the CFDA Awards.

6am: Going to be a crazy day. Nice long bath, then straight over to an early morning photo shoot with Terry Richardson. They were incredible, fun, crazy pictures. I was wearing men’s clothes, lingerie, dressing up as animals. Such an eccentric shoot.

3pm: Grab some food on-set: Thai curry chicken, pasta and rice. I won’t be able to eat once I go to the CFDAs. I’m wearing white so I definitely don’t want to take the risk of spilling anything on the one-of-a-kind dress Marc Bouwer made for me!

5:20pm: Oops. We had so much fun at the photo shoot, and ran over. Now it’s pouring rain! Here I am looking for a cab, still wearing all the black eye makeup and hot pink lips; my hair is sticking straight out from all the products. I looked like a drowned rat.

5:45pm: Home! Thankfully my dress already got dropped off. Jump into the shower and rinse off faster than I ever have. Didn’t even bother with my hair. It was already soaked with rain. I wanted a sort of a 1920s, old Hollywood, Veronica Lake look. My makeup artist Jasen Kaplan and hairstylist Ricardo Rojas have to work on me like crazy — it’s such a miracle.

6:20pm: Marc Bouwer picks me up, and we head over to the CFDA Awards gala at Lincoln Center. I felt like a princess. My dress was actually sheer white, but I put a nude body suit under it. Thankfully you couldn’t see anything!

Mad Men star Christina Hendricks not only is filming the third season of the critically acclaimed drama, but she is planning a wedding to longtime beau, Trust Me actor Geoffrey Arend for Oct. 11 in Manhattan. “It’s exciting,” Hendricks tells tvguidemagazine.com. “I’m wearing a beautiful Carolina Herrera dream gown.” It won’t be the first time that the sexy star has donned Carolina Herrera — she heated up the red carpet at the SAG Awards in a curve-hugging scarlet gown by the designer. For his own stylish turn, the groom will wear a tuxedo designed by Brooks Brothers. But don’t expect to see co-stars Jon Hamm and January Jones in the wedding album. Hendricks tells tvguidemagazine.com that none of her Mad Men castmates will be attending as it is “a small wedding, mostly family.”

Heidi Klum on Her Michael Kors Dress: “I’m a Shortener”

Landov

Klum to Kors design: Snip, snip. Auf Wiedersehen hemlength. On Project Runway, Heidi Klum and Michael Kors decide the fate of young designers, who know they are either “in or you’re out.” But in real life, the good friends collaborated on a super-short shimmering maternity dress for Heidi, whose bump was on display at last night’s CFDA Fashion Awards at Alice Tully Hall in New York. Heidi’s input? “I shortened it a little bit, because I shorten everything,” she tells PEOPLE. “I’m a shortener.” Not that Kors was surprised. “I knew she’d shorten it,” says the designer. “I can look at clothes on a hanger and know exactly how it’s going to fit, who it is right for. I’ve been doing this for years. I’m only 26, so I can’t say how long I’ve known her, but I know what works for her, what she likes, and I knew she’d cut it off.” And for his part, Kors loves that Heidi isn’t afraid to bare a little while expecting. “It’s a different kind of maternity,” he says. “Everyone thinks, ‘Oh, when you’re pregnant you should hide in the background. But it’s really all about shimmer and glamour and showing skin and confidence.” And Klum is anything but shy about feeling sexy while expecting. “I feel fantastic,” says Klum of her pregnancy. “Are you looking at my boobs?” she jokes. “I’m already two cup sizes bigger than normal.” Tell us: What do you think of Heidi’s sexy maternity style? — Jeffrey Slonim
