It’s impossible to think of Victoria’s Secret without thinking of their iconic Angels — from Gisele Bündchen to Tyra Banks, some of the world’s most beautiful faces have graced the company’s steamy catalogues and legendary runway shows. But now one Angel is hanging up her wings. After a decade-plus of being affiliated with the lingerie giant, Heidi Klum is taking a step back to focus on her many other ventures, including Project Runway and her multiple clothing lines. Klum says in a statement, “All good things have to come to an end. I will always love Victoria and never tell her secret. It’s been an absolute amazing time!” And there is always a place in heaven for Heidi, as it turns out. “Heidi will always be an Angel,” says Ed Razek, President and Chief Marketing Officer, Limited Brands, parent company of Victoria’s Secret. Like the others who have departed before her, Klum now clears the way for a whole new generation of beauties, including Doutzen Kroes and Chanel Iman. Tell us: Will you miss Heidi Klum at the Victoria’s Secret shows?

When it comes to keeping a man sniffing for more, new perfumer Eva Longoria Parker has done her best to concoct the perfect potion. “I want him to devour the woman that’s smelling my fragrance. If he smells my fragrance he should jump on that woman,” the Desperate Housewives star tells ET Canada of Eva by Eva Longoria, her debut signature fragrance for women, which launched in April. Eva created the feminine scent–a blend of citrus notes, jasmine, violet and amber–after years of not wearing perfume because she was allergic. “I was always envious of my friends who could always wear all this perfume…so that’s when I decided to create ‘Eva’,” she said. And how does her husband, Tony Parker, feel about his wife’s new aroma? “He loves it. He also is not a very big fan of overpowering scents and so he loves it because this one is really light and subtle,” she says. Buy your own bottle, $45 for 1.7 oz. at macys.com.–Jessie Goldberg

Hilary Duff Darkens Up Her Hair: Love It or Hate It?

INF

Just six weeks ago, when she tied the knot with Mike Comrie, Hilary Duff was still a dyed-and-true blonde; but the actress was all smiles yesterday in L.A. as she staked her claim as Hollywood’s newest brunette bombshell. Over the past few weeks we’ve watched the newlywed gradually go darker, even trying an ombré look that rivaled that of Hollywood trend-setters like Drew Barrymore and Lauren Conrad–but we weren’t sure if she’d go all the way with the darker look. And while stars like Katherine Heigl have taken the change of the seasons as a chance to lighten up, Hilary has committed to cozying down for fall by shedding her extra sunny look. Do you think Hilary should keep the brunette hair, or do you prefer her as a blonde?

Pregnant Miranda Kerr and New Mom Gisele Bündchen Model in Balenciaga Show

Having a few extra pounds on you may be cause for rejection among most models, but when you’re Miranda Kerr, it lands you a lead role in the hottest fashion show in town. The five-month pregnant Victoria’s Secret supermodel took to the catwalk with fellow glamazon and new mom Gisele Bündchen today during Paris Fashion Week to model in the Balenciaga spring/summer 2011 show. And it wasn’t just the runway that was star-studded: The front row was graced by French It-girl Charlotte Gainsbourg, Salma Hayek (with husband François-Henri Pinault) and most importantly, Miranda’s husband, Orlando Bloom who joked to WWD, “I’ll just try not to trip her.” But for stylish mom-to-be Miranda, it was business as usual, according to Balenciaga designer Nicolas Ghesquière, who has consistently cast the sexy star in his shows. “Victoria’s Secret are using the sexy, cute side of Miranda Kerr,” he told Australian Vogue back in April. “I wanted to show she could have a more experimental, edgy side.” And that she did! While the soon-to-be-mom held up the beginning of the show, modeling a houndstooth caplet with a tight ponytail, minimal makeup and loafers, fellow supermodel Gisele closed the show in a white geometric, layered dress that buckled at the neck and captured the futuristic collection flawlessly.

POLL: Do You Travel Only With Heels Like Mariah Carey?

GSI

For most of us, travel gear includes a comfy pair of flats for hoofing it through the airport or sneakers for days spent sightseeing. But Mariah Carey is no ordinary tourist. The diva recently found herself wheelchair-bound at the Singapore airport after hurting her ankle taking a tumble on-stage — only to realize she had only packed high heels! While A-listers constantly dress to impress at the airport, Mariah isn’t the only mega-star who manages to take it to the extreme, seemingly only packing platforms. But is is just the stars, or are there ladies among us who are so attached to their heels that’s all they put in their suitcase? Tell us: Would you ever travel without a pair of functional footwear?
