In terms of its jeans-themed August issue, Glamour couldn’t have picked a better cover subject than Vanessa Hudgens: Whether on a coffee run, attending a movie premiere, or at LAX with boyfriend Zac Efron, the actress is serially photographed in denim. And perhaps most impressive of all is the 21-year-old High School Musical star’s own blue jean collection. So, how many pairs does she own? “Oh my God. Like, probably 100,” Hudgens admits to Glamour, calling out Current/Elliott and JBrand as her go-to labels. “My JBrand 10-inch skinny leg [jeans] are cropped, but because I’m so short, they fit me perfectly,” says the petite beauty, going on to explain her addiction to the blue stuff. “A, it goes with anything. And, B, if your jeans hug you the right way, you feel like a sexpot,” laughs Hudgens. “And they get better with age!” To hear more from Vanessa, pick up the August issue of Glamour or visit glamour.com. –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley

Following in the charitable– and stylish!– footsteps of Sandra Bullock, Rachel Bilson is the latest star to team with Coach to help raise money for a good cause. The style-savvy actress has selected three gorgeous bags from Coach’s Poppy collection to benefit children’s charity, The Art of Elysium, a non-profit organization that encourages working actors, artists and musicians to help children who are battling serious medical conditions. “[Rachel] looked over the selection of bags and decided which bags she would own herself, as well as the practicality of each bag for an appropriate time of day,” her rep, Marcel Pariseau, tells PEOPLE. Rachel narrowed it down to the sparkling day-to-night Poppy Sequin Spotlight purse, $398, cross-body evening Poppy Sequins Disco Bag, $148, and the Poppy Leather Bella tote, $328–perfect for daytime chic. We love Rachel’s glam choices! And beginning now until July 28, a portion of the proceeds from the sale of each bag will benefit The Art of Elysium– talk about guilt-free shopping!

VIDEO: Madonna Dishes on Blogger Daughter Lourdes’ Material Girl Style

Ask Madonna for fashion advice, and she just might refer you to her 13-year-old, Lourdes Leon (aka “Lola”), who, according to her mother, is “much more fashion-forward and savvy than I am at this point.” Now the teenager and fashion-lover is sharing her natural style acumen as a blogger, posting her first musings yesterday on Materialgirlcollection.com, the site for the juniors clothing line that the mother-daughter duo are designing together. ”I am totally obsessivo about 80′s shorts,” writes Lola. “You know the kind that makes your butt look kinda big, with a grunge-looking shirt tucked in.” And the tweenager has certainly put her stamp on Material Girl’s debut collection, which includes ’80s-inspired pieces like a sleeveless biker vest, plaid shirts, floral miniskirts, and high-waist shorts–all meant to be layered and mixed together. To read Lola’s blog and for more on the Material Girl Collection–which launches August 3 exclusively at Macy’s–visit materialgirlcollection.com.

Skating? Jazzercise? Cheryl Burke Rolls With Retro Fitness Crazes

Amanda Schwab/Startraks

Don’t let those roller skates fool you! “I’m not really good on skates,” admits Cheryl Burke. “But dance shoes I can dance in!” Despite being a novice on the rink, the DWTS hoofer, turned out to N.Y.C.’s Thompson Square Park Friday to take in a roller derby-inspired day supporting The Body Shop’s DeoDry deodorant launch. As skaters performed tricks and turns, Cheryl shared one out-of-the box fitness favorite with PEOPLE that actually does work for her. “I love doing Jazzercise!” she said. “It’s totally reinvented itself. It’s upbeat, it’s a great cardio class for an hour, and you burn lots of calories.” And when it comes to the dance-floor, Cheryl is equally quick in naming her anytime, anywhere favorite. “I love all the Latin dances,” she said. “I love all the upbeat, salsa, cha-cha, samba dances. I just love the music–and wearing the costumes,” including, of course, those requisite sky-high shoes. “I think I was born in them!” she laughs. “I dance in a three-and-a-half-inch stiletto heel–but it took me a while to get to that level. You really have to be careful not to break your ankle or twist your ankle. So you have to slowly and gradually work [the heel height] up to that.” –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

‘Double Exposure’ Goes Behind the Scenes of Lindsay Lohan’s 6126 Shoot

Last night’s episode of Bravo’s Double Exposure gave us a behind-the-scenes look at the fashion shoot for Lindsay Lohan‘s 6126 clothing line. Snapped by photographers Markus Klinko and Indrani, the starlet modeled several looks from her current spring/summer collection, including the Femme Fatale leggings above. “I’m really obsessed with the music videos from the ’80s,” said Markus of his inspiration for the shot, which featured Lohan in the studio’s bare-bones electrical room. “I have this idea to make Lindsay into this total video vixen.” Clearly pleased with the results, Markus took to his blog, addressing the behind-the-behind-the-scenes Twitterverse drama about Lohan’s late arrival to the shoot, “If I had to choose between a celebrity that is perfectly on time and perfectly boring, I would much rather take Lindsay. So maybe rather than all this noise about how late she was, let’s focus on how amazing she was when she actually showed up.” For more on Double Exposure, visit bravo.tv, and for more info on 6126, check out 6126bylindsaylohan.com. –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley

FIRST LOOK: Katie Holmes Channels Jackie Kennedy in New Role

Todd G/Splash News Online

The baby bump Katie Holmes showed off on Monday was not in fact a sibling for Suri, but part of a costume for her role as Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy in the History Channel’s upcoming miniseries, The Kennedys. Coiffed in the famously chic first lady’s signature Camelot-era bouffant, the star was spotted on the Ontario, Canada set in a robin’s egg-blue shift, paired with pearls, a rhinestone circle pin–and a prosthetic belly–evoking Jackie’s classic polished look, even while in maternity clothes. Holmes, a trendsetter in her own right as well as a burgeoning designer, will no doubt feel right at home playing dress up as one of America’s seminal fashion plates. Tell us: Are you excited to see Katie as Jackie O? –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley
