She designs everything from dresses and jeans to shades, and now, Victoria Beckham is trying her hand at one more luxury item: Range Rovers! Clad in a shimmering tan asymmetric drape neck dress from her own collection and Brian Atwood for Victoria Beckham pumps, the designer was appointed Range Rover’s new Creative Design Executive at the 40th Anniversary party for the brand in London Thursday night. “This is a very exciting collaboration,” the former Spice Girl said at the event. “The classic British heritage of Range Rover and the effortless style, quality and beauty is something I truly admire and also what I hope to achieve with my own brand. I am honored to take on this role and be part of the creative team.” And Range Rover is more than happy to be adding such a fashionable element to their team. Gerry McGovern, Land Rover and Range Rover Design Director, confirms: “Victoria understands luxury products– she is a Range Rover fan and has been a Range Rover owner for many years. I believe this appointment adds a new dimension to my design team as we continue to design products to appeal to a wider audience.” Victoria will be collaborating on future special edition Range Rover design projects, starting with a Special Edition Range Rover Evoque. We can’t wait to see what Victoria will bring to the world of moving vehicles. Tell us: What do you think of Victoria’s new role?– Andrea DeSimone

FIRST LOOK: Entourage’s Emmanuelle Chriqui Uncovers ‘Sloan Style’

Courtesy HBO

Entourage might be all about the boys, but it’s hard to ignore Emmanuelle Chriqui’s leggy brunette character, Sloan. Lending Season 7 of the hit HBO series some fiercely feminine appeal, Emmanuelle is heating things up not only on, but also off screen. In a steamy photo shoot for HBO.com, the actress, featured unzipping her Pleasure Doing Business little black dress, joins forces with Entourage stylist Olivia Miles to uncover Sloan’s enviable style. “The premise of the shoot was all about the intimate moments with her,” Miles tells PEOPLE exclusively. “To me this felt like the end of a great night, of a really fun night. Sloan’s style is modern and eclectic and sexy without having to try too hard. She’s super-clean, modern, professional, yet still with a bohemian, fun twist,” she explains. And if Sloan’s style has you hooked every Sunday night, you’ll be happy to know you don’t need a Hollywood paycheck to achieve it—at least not all of it. “What’s fun about this character is sometimes she’s wearing the most expensive designers imaginable, and sometimes she’s not. Mixing high and low, and knowing that you don’t have an unlimited budget makes someone look great,” says Miles. See more of Emmanuelle’s intimate moments in “Sloan Uncovered” on HBO.com starting tomorrow. –Andrea DeSimone

Seeing Double: Kim Kardashian’s Wax Figure Revealed!

It looks like we’ll be seeing twice as much of Kim Kardashian‘s famous curves starting today! After teasing fans for the last week with mysterious Tweets and images of her booty getting measured, Kim’s wax figure has finally been unveiled. Kardashian, 29, who was in NYC for the big reveal at Madame Tussauds today, took to Twitter earlier in the morning to announce the news. “Getting ready to see my wax figure! I’m so nervous!” she said. “Will it be weird? Will it look identical to me?” Judging by the look-alike figure, clad in a sexy hot pink bandage dress and showcasing the photo-friendly star’s famous assets, the answer, it seems, is a definite yes. Kim’s mom Kris Jenner, seemingly pleased with the results, jumped in on the excitement, Tweeting a few hours later: “Good morning NYC! Kims big unveiling for her wax figure at Madame Tussauds Wax museum! Woohoo this is amazing.” Kardashian follows in the wax-worthy footsteps of Michael Jackson, Britney Spears, Miley Cyrus and the Jonas Brothers, just to name a few. What do you think of seeing Kim in double-vision? Does her wax figure measure up to the real thing? –Gillian Koenig

Kate Gosselin: ‘Read My Eyebrows. No Botox!’

With the rumors flying that Kate Gosselin had a botched Botox job, the reality mom wants to inject some sense into the discussion. It ain’t true, she says. “Read my eyebrows: No Botox!” Gosselin, 35, tells PEOPLE. Reports began to circulate about a possible Botox procedure after a photo showing Gosselin with her eyebrows particularly arched surfaced last week. But the Kate Plus 8 star is laughing off the speculation. Says a source close to Gosselin: “Kate thinks it’s hilarious that one photo of her with her eyebrows raised has caused such a stir. It’s ridiculous–she hasn’t done anything.” Meanwhile, Gosselin is continuing an all-natural beauty regimen — she’s sticking with her all-organic diet and recently began daily runs near her Wernersville, Pa., home. –Kate Coyne

The Scoop on Angelina’s Muy Caliente Mexico Appearance

Angelina Jolie may be best known for her sexy and tough styles on the red carpet, with a pronounced love for all things black leather. But when she turned up in sunny Cancun, Mexico on Wednesday to promote her new film Salt, she was the absolute picture of tropical perfection in her slim white Atelier Versace dress and matching Ferragamo pumps. Even her hair was more relaxed than normal with her hairstylist David Babaii giving her a new style with shorter bangs for the occasion. “The humid climate and tropical breezes of Cancun presented unique styling challenges,” admits Babaii in an email. “After cutting [Angelina's] bangs a bit shorter and chipping into them so they appeared even softer and swept away, I dampened her hair and applied Moroccanoil Treatment to protect it during blowdrying, prevent frizz in this very damp environment, and lock in weightless, natural-looking shine.” We love the softer, yet totally polished, look on Angelina — here’s hoping for more tropical trips in her future! –Melissa Liebling-Goldberg
