Kelly, Blake, Bethenny and More Shop for a Cause at Super Saturday

Who says that stars don’t love a bargain? Celebrities and bargain-hunters alike enjoyed frenetic, elbows-out shopping at the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund’s 12th annual Super Saturday, which took place at Nova’s Ark Project in Water Mill. Power shopper Barbara Walters was one of the first to peruse merchandise as the gates opened at noon. By 3:20 pm, a booth stocked with Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen‘s The Row was “sold out,” according to an announcer on a loudspeaker. “I took the last three shirts,” mentioned Kelly Ripa. She had on a flowing patterned dress by Etro that she said she had fallen in love with when Nicole Richie was on her show in a similar design. “I’m proud of [The Row],” said Ripa. “They have a vision. I got whatever was left over in my size.” Hosted by Blake Lively and Ripa, rows of booths covered by colorful straw umbrellas offered up high fashion — Donna Karan, Calvin Klein, Diane von Furstenberg, Armani, Ralph Lauren, and Tory Burch — at rock bottom prices to benefit the Ovarian Cancer Research Fund. Nearby, Gayle King assessed the deals. “The shopping is good,” she told PEOPLE. “I don’t need one thing, but I’m a girl who loves a bargain, so I wore comfortable shoes. You’re shopping for a good cause, but it’s the thrill of the hunt. I just got a Carolina Herrera dress that was $1790 for $350. I have no idea where I’m going to wear it, but it doesn’t matter!” With beau Jason Hoppy and dog Cookie at her side, Bethenny Frankel of The Real Housewives of New York City was looking to cover up at the beach. “I bought a Michael Kors bathing suit called a “swimming dress,” she mentioned.

Courtesy of Madonna; Inset: House of Harlow

Madonna may have relied on Givenchy’s Riccardo Tisci for haute couture tour costumes and jeweler to the stars Chopard for the 258 brilliant-cut white diamond “M-Dolla” ring she sported on the cover of her Hard Candy CD last summer, but for her newest single “Celebration,” her Madgesty looked no further than Nicole Richie‘s affordable House of Harlow 1960 line for some bling. The Queen of Pop rocks Nicole’s long gold locket necklace — which costs only $65! — on her collage-inspired single cover, which Nicole excitedly announced on her Twitter. Madonna isn’t the only star loving Nicole’s House of Harlow jewelry line. Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian, Amanda Bynes and more have all been spotted rocking jewels designed by Nicole.

From plaid shirts to high-waisted shorts, the line clearly takes its cues from the young star’s style. “I wanted to finally make something that was for girls my age.

I wanted to be able to bring those fun styles to the girls of America.” And though the line just hit Walmart’s shelves, Miley is already playing favorites. “I love the leggings. I’ve seen leggings like our Miley & Max ones that are about $500. Ours are so affordable and they look super chic!” With all the styles in the line priced under $20 fashionistas will be able to stock up on all their favorite Miley & Max looks– like these great pieces!

Jessica Simpson Dishes on Her Sexy Lingerie Line

Soul Brother/FilmMagic

With successful lines encompassing everything from frocks to luggage, bikinis and fragrances under her stylish belt, Jessica Simpson might just be the reigning queen of celebrity merchandising. And as we announced earlier this summer, the curvy star will be adding lingerie to her style empire — and she’s talking with WWD.com about the new collection, which has just launched for the trade industry at the Vandale showrooms in Manhattan. “My intimates are feminine and sweet with a hint of fun,” she tells the paper. And her jump to lingerie was born out of a genuine passion for the stuff, “I love lingerie. What girl doesn’t?” she asks rhetorically. “My lingerie reflects the way I’m feeling when I wake up and helps me set the tone for my day.” As any buxom woman knows, however, finding gorgeous designs to set that tone can be tricky. “It is important to me personally…to be able to wear my own line,” she says. “Vandale is developing a great collection of feminine, sexy, regular and full-figured bras which are going to be amazing. We are also working on a sleepwear collection that I know I will live in. We have focused on using really soft fabrics that feel good against your skin. The whole line centers around great basics for every day that are comfortable and fit your body. We spent a lot of time on the details. I really wanted to make this line special.” Her favorite creations? “I love the seersucker group because it is just classic and so adorable. We also have a beautiful print group that was inspired by Morocco. It is both exotic and feminine at the same time. We also created a denim and floral set that is flirty and fun,” she says. Tell us: Will you wear Jessica’s lingerie?

Tom Ford to Show Directorial Debut in Venice

Solve Sundsbo

Tom Ford may be a household name for his work in fashion and dressing Hollywood’s hottest stars, but when it comes to directing, he is still a novice. Nonetheless, his directorial debut has won him a spot to compete for Venice’s 66th Film Festival’s Lion d’Or. The 48-year old designer, who left Gucci in 2004 to concentrate on both his own line and to launch a film career, took three years to draft the script of A Single Man and began filming last November. Based on a novel by British author Christopher Isherwood (whose Berlin Stories served as the book for Cabaret) was produced and directed by Ford, who co-wrote the script with David Searce. Recounting the story of a gay English professor, attempting to resume his daily life in Los Angeles after the death of his partner, A Single Man comes with a pedigreed cast worthy of the man who previously directed YSL’s house, including Colin Firth, 4 time-Oscar nominee Julianne Moore, The Watchmen‘s Matthew Goode and Lee Pace from Pushing Daisies. Surprisingly strong buzz accompanies Ford’s maiden effort, amplified by the Sept. 2-12 festival’s decision to program it as an In Competition choice, a category pitting A Single Man up against this year’s eclectic slate of films including George Romero’s latest zombie epic Survival of the Dead. – Peter Mikelbank
