Is it just us or is getting “Hot in Here”? Thanks to Nelly, fall is heating up and looking to be smelling fine. Following on the success of his women’s clothing line of the same name, the multi-platinum rapper-designer will add fragrance to his empire with the launch of Apple Bottoms by Nelly, with prices starting at $48 a bottle. And while we still have to wait until October for the citrus, peony, rose and coconut fragrance to start rolling into Macy’s stores, the star gave a little preview, posing bottle-in-hand at an event at Dillard’s in his hometown of St. Louis. Tell us, will you give Nelly’s scent a try this fall?

Taylor Swift On The Tommy Hilfiger Show: “I Love It!”

When Tommy Hilfiger sent his latest looks down the runway at Bryant Park during New York Fashion Week a cavalcade of stars turned out, including Naomi Watts, Emily Blunt, Penn Badgley and January Jones — but no one was more enthusiastic than Taylor Swift who nabbed a coveted seat in the front row. “I love it,” she exclaimed to PEOPLE of the Spring/Summer 2010 collection. “It was wonderful.” And the designer himself was just as thrilled to give Taylor a close-up view. “We planned it a long time ago,” Hilfiger says of inviting the young star to his show. “She’s a friend of mine. She’s a huge star, a wonderful, wonderful girl. She’s amazing,” continues the designer, who’s also a pal of Taylor’s parents. And Hilfiger’s not the only entrepeneur impressed with the country singer. Russell Simmons, who caught up with Taylor in the front row, also sang her praises. “She’s a very beautiful girl: striking,” he says, before addressing the VMA incident involving Kanye West. “I think what happened with Kanye at the MTV awards is a non-issue,” he says. “She spoke, she was gracious. And he was very apologetic. She’s very chilled, gracious and sweet.” –Reporting by Jeffrey Slonim

Katharine McPhee Dishes On Going Blonde

It’s been over a month since Katharine McPhee gave PEOPLE an exclusive sneak peek at her new platinum look on her album cover. Yet she still managed to wait until Fashion Week to reveal the look on the red carpet. Katharine spoke with PEOPLE backstage at the Tommy Hilfiger show in Manhattan’s Bryant Park tents about what prompted her to trade her signature sexy brunette style for being a blonde-bobbed bombshell. “I have a record coming out in January called Unbroken,” she explains, “and I’ve been working on it for the last year and it’s been a big artistic development. It sort of felt like I was shedding skin, so I was literally shedding layers of hair.” Tell us: What do you think of Katharine’s blonde hair? –Reporting by Jeffrey Slonim

Peaches Geldof On Her New Purple Hair: “I’d Exhausted Every Other Option”

The clothing wasn’t the bright thing at Anna Sui’s circus-themed runway show Wednesday night — for Peaches Geldof, it was her hair, too. The Brit It-girl debuted newly darkened locks in a rather unusual shade: dark purple. “I change it once every two months,” Geldof told PEOPLE, “and I thought purple because I’d exhausted every other option so why not?” As for the next color on her hair palette, “I want to go blue,” says the socialite. Sitting front row at Sui’s show in Bryant Park, Geldof enjoyed a low key appearance, ignoring the frenzy surrounding Olivia Palermo shooting a scene for The City with ELLE Creative Director Joe Zee, and instead focusing on the clothes on the catwalk. And what makes Sui one of her favorites? “She’s forward-thinking, but at the same time her collections reference back to eras like the ’70s and ’60s [where] really iconic moments in fashion happened,” said Geldof.
