Lady Gaga to Launch Her First Fragrance

Peter Kramer/AP

With two Grammy Awards under her belt, not to mention a record-breaking 13 nominations at last night’s MTV Video Music Awards–eight of which she won—it seems there is nothing that the iconic Lady Gaga cannot do. And now the superstar is lending her golden touch to yet another project, inking a deal with Coty Inc. for her very own fragrance, reports WWD. Set to launch sometime in spring 2012, the singer’s debut scent will be released under her name, according to the publication. And while we still have a while to wait before Gaga’s newest project hits store shelves, we’re sure that in true Gaga fashion it will be well worth the wait! Tell Us: Will you buy Lady Gaga’s new fragrance when it comes out? –Gillian Koenig

How Posh! Victoria Beckham Debuts New Line of Handbags at Runway Show

Victoria Beckham may have been anxious before her Spring 2011 presentation during New York Fashion Week on Sunday, Tweeting, “About to go!!!! Excited!!! Nervous!!!! X VB x” but the designer had nothing to worry about, pulling off the N.Y.C. show with her signature polish–and proving why she’s quickly becoming one of the hottest tickets in town. “What’s alluring for me this season are the curves of a women’s figure–sensual volume and a defined silhouette that allows for a freedom of movement,” Victoria told InStyle.com. Along with the elegant wearable dresses that were sent down the runway—sure to be coveted by existing A-list fans like Cameron Diaz and Gwyneth Paltrow—guests were also treated to a first look at her brand new line of handbags, which, if Victoria has any say in it, will rival even those of luxe label Hermes. “A Beckham can replace your Birkin,” Posh was overheard saying to a guest, according to InStyle.com. And in addition to her must-have “Victoria Satchel,” what is one of Posh’s favorite items from the collection? A travel tote that she designed for husband David! Said Beckham: “I had to put a bag in the collection that David would use.” To see more of Victoria’s spring 2011 collection, visit InStyle.com. –Gillian Koenig

Crystal Renn on Walking for Zac Posen: ‘I’m Freaking Out!’

Crystal Renn is breaking another barrier for plus-size models and meeting her own personal goals in the process. After walking in the Chanel resort show in May, she’s now taking on the runways of N.Y.C, walking on Saturday night for designer Zac Posen’s Z Spoke line, and she couldn’t be happier! Renn told PEOPLE earlier this week, “I’m freaking out. Zac is one of the ones you want. Zac, Calvin and Marc are the big three. I booked one of my three.” And the brunette beauty has nothing but praise for the designer, who dresses a range of Hollywood stars, from Rachel Bilson to Christina Hendricks. “I got to know [Zac] and to hear him talk about it he gets a woman. He wants women to be able to fit [into] them and to be able to buy them. They’re making the clothes for my size and everything. This is how fashion should be.” And seeing Renn glowing in canary yellow on the Z Spoke runway, we can’t think of a better model for the designer’s fun and feminine styles. – Melissa Liebling-Goldberg; reporting by Charlotte Triggs

Phillip Lim’s Front Row Supporter: Pal Kanye West!

Kanye West is no stranger to the front row at fashion shows, having even taken in a few couture shows in his time, but when he turned up at the 3.1 Phillip Lim men’s show on Friday, it was as much to support a friend as to see the designs. West told PEOPLE before the show began that “I just hang with Phillip all the time. It’s cool. He’ll come by the studio or whatever. And we’ll just talk about all kinds of stuff that doesn’t even have to do with clothes.” But that doesn’t mean that he isn’t a fan of the edgy menswear collection, wearing a suit from the line as he sat front row. And after seeing the collection presented, what is Mr. West’s review of the show? “I thought it was incredible. I loved the color combinations, ” West enthused. “He’s pushing it. Innovative. So I loved it.” No apologies necessary for that glowing praise! — Melissa Liebling-Goldberg; reporting by Jeffrey Slonim

Lindsay Lohan Returns to Red: Love It or Hate It?

Flynet

After a controversy that left her lanky extensions tangled in jailhouse rules just over a month ago, Lindsay Lohan‘s hair is once again causing quite a stir. After spending months as a blonde, the starlet has dumped her platinum color and returned to her auburn roots, which she debuted today while out and about in Santa Monica, Calif. Never one to shy from switching up her hair color, Lindsay’s new fiery style seems fitting with all the changes going on in her life. And while we love how this new look plays up a healthy glow, we want to know what you think. Tell us: Should Lindsay stick with the natural color or go back to bombshell blonde?

Heidi Klum Gets Back Into the Beauty Business With Coty

Soul Brother/FilmMagic

Is there anything this supermodel mom can’t do? Apparently not! Just days after releasing details on her New Balance deal with Amazon, Heidi Klum has taken on yet another stylish task: Acting as the artistic director and adviser for Coty Beauty’s Astor brand, reports WWD. The Project Runway host, who in the past has worked with Victoria’s Secret on a signature makeup collection, has been brought on to help reshape the nearly 60-year-old cosmetics brand, which is currently only distributed in Europe. And it seems that the leggy blonde’s come full circle with this partnership: “My entire childhood, I was surrounded by makeup,” Klum tells WWD. “My father worked as the marketing director for 4711, a cosmetics company in Germany, for 20 years. He would always bring home testers of lipsticks, eye shadows and perfumes. I absolutely loved it.” But don’t expect Heidi to join the growing list of celebrities coming out with their own fragrance. “We are going to conquer the world of color together for now,” she says. We’re sure Heidi’s cosmetics will be full of color, creativity and her trademark perspective. The first collections for Coty’s Astor brand are expected to hit European counters next spring. –Hana Choi
