Louis Vuitton’s Official World Cup Trophy Luggage

The World Cup Trophy is one of the most coveted athletic accolades in the world, so it should come as no surprise that the iconic symbol of one of soccer’s greatest honors would travel in the ultimate style–a Louis Vuitton leather-bound trophy case. The luxe custom-made trunk, commissioned by FIFA and covered in the signature Louis Vuitton monogram, housed the solid 18-carat gold trophy on its trip from Paris to South Africa. Featuring all the luxurious brass corners and chic dark-brown lining that we’ve come to expect from LV, the hard-cased trunk was specially created in Asnières, France, under the direction of Patrick Louis Vuitton and will be unveiled at the final match on July 11! To create your own custom-designed traveling cases, head into any Louis Vuitton store and place a special order or visit louisvuitton.com for more information.

Mariah Carey Keeps It Sweet with Her New Scent, Lollipop Bling

Elizabeth Arden

If you didn’t already know just how sweet the marriage between Mariah Carey and Nick Cannon is, the stongstress’s newest signature scent is about to shine a spotlight on their Hollywood love-affair. The just-announced addition to her fragrance empire, Lollipop Bling, gives a nod to that magical moment when her man ring-popped the question. “The inspiration for Lollipop Bling was Nick’s marriage proposal to me,” she says in a release. “He first surprised me with a ring-pop — romantic, fun and young-at-heart — like me!” Nick even sweetened the deal on the couple’s second anniversary last month, presenting his bride with a custom-designed ring-pop sparkler encrusted with white diamonds and pink sapphires. Mariah’s sugary trio of Elizabeth Arden fragrances, which are being produced in partnership with Topps Candy Company, will launch next month in bright butterfly-topped bottles. Mine Again will include notes of chocolate and raspberry. Ribbon will feature blue raspberry. Honey will be a tropical pineapple infusion. And they’ll have a sweet price to match their inspiration, selling at $35 for each 1-oz. bottle. Tell us: Will you buy Mariah’s Lollipop Bling? –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

Maggie Gyllenhaal, Ashley Olsen and More Turn Out To Launch YSL Scent

Marion Curtis/Startraks

While it may not have been as decadent as the notorious original Opium launch party in N.Y.C. in 1977, Thursday night’s soirée for YSL’s new fragrance Belle D’Opium was certainly more glamorous than most with attendees like Maggie Gyllenhaal and Ashley Olsen taking in the tunes spun by guest DJs Alexa Chung and model Alexandra Richards. So why do stars love YSL so much? “It’s just so classic. All the lines are just so beautiful and something that’s just so timeless,” Whitney Port told PEOPLE, although she did admit her praise was more as a fan than as a fellow fashion designer. Richards, who spun custom mixes that can be purchased on iTunes while wearing a sexy YSL vest, shared Port’s love of all things YSL, calling the label, “really beautiful, sexy chic.” As for what scent Richards wore for the big night out? “I’m sure I’ll be smelling it tonight so I didn’t wear any perfume.” To tide you over until the fragrance itself is available in October, check out whatisyouropium.com in the meantime.–Mary S.

SYTYCD’s Cat Deeley Debuts Her Vintage-Inspired Jewelry Line on QVC Today

With the seventh season of So You Think You Can Dance well under way, host Cat Deeley is turning her attention away from the stage to debut her much-anticipated vintage-inspired jewelry collection on QVC today. The Cat Deeley Modern Vintage collection will feature classic designs updated with bold contemporary accents. Cat’s favorite? A pair of earrings based on a vintage find from India. “They’re exquisite,” she says of her look-a-like pair. “I made them lighter and bigger and more of a statement piece. They’re the perfect way to update your look for evening time or a cocktail party.” But unlike most true vintage statement finds, Cat’s pieces won’t come with high price tags. In fact, each piece in the collection is set to retail for $30- $200. “I really want to provide jewelry that people can wear and are real statement pieces that can completely change an outfit but are accessible to everybody. Because that’s what fashion should be about,” says Cat. Be sure to catch her on QVC today at 4PM EST where she’ll be selling her collection live.

Bryce Dallas Howard on How She Stays Fit Post-’Eclipse’

Though it’s hard to imagine Twilight‘s Bella, Edward and Jacob on elliptical machines, the cast of its much-anticipated sequel Eclipse all apparently found time to sweat it out before filming. “Everyone got fit for Eclipse,” reveals actress Bryce Dallas Howard in the July issue of Self. But once the film wrapped, it was another story. “Maintaining was the challenge!” admits the stunning redhead, who plays evil vampire Victoria. The star’s post-filming strategy? The pack mentality. “I created a fitness club with five friends,” explains the 29-year-old actress to Self. “We have weekly check-ins and a reward system–and group penalties if one of us slacks off. I don’t want to let them down, so success is much more likely. And fun!” While she does make it a point to get her pulse up regularly, the mom to toddler Theo–and daughter of director Ron Howard–only makes trips to the salon once in a blue moon. “I will spend money on a good cut, just so that I only need to get my hair cut twice a year,” she admits. “Because if it is good, it will grow out beautifully.” For more on Bryce, pick up the July issue of Self, on newsstands June 22, or visit self.com. –Marissa Patlingrao Cooley
