Diane Kruger on Doing a ‘Boyfriend Test’ of Her Calvin Klein Fragrance

Diane Kruger has a flawless face to match her courage with couture–but don’t expect the former model to be stingy with her beauty secrets. When it comes to making her gaze even more striking, Kruger knows where to turn. “Strong brows give me character. I’m loving Laura Mercier’s brow kit right now,” she tells InStyle.co.uk. She puts keeping her skin flawless down to L’Oreal Paris’s affordable Triple Active Day: “This moisturizer is really light, but keeps my skin hydrated. I use it when I’m working,” she says. As for the aroma that keeps her smelling sweet? It’s Calvin Klein’s Beauty Eau de Parfum , of course. She is, after all, the face of the scent. “I had to boyfriend-test this with Josh [Jackson] and he approved it,” Diane says, before revealing that she doesn’t confine the fragrance to the standard pulse points. “I spray it on my wrists, decolletage and under my armpits as I’m allergic to deodorants.” To read more, check out InStyle.co.uk. –Jessie Goldberg

From the wacky face paint to the all-over body glitter, it’s pretty clear that pop singer Ke$ha doesn’t really care what’s cool, which is exactly the look she is going for! When it comes to her style–and her new album– Ke$ha tells mtv.com, “It’s a celebration of being broke and not really caring what other people think.” And although the 22-year-old star has belted out musical hits that have heated up every dance floor across the country, you won’t find her spending her Hollywood paycheck on designer clothes. “It’s pulling from vintage, it’s pulling from contemporary, it’s pulling from the garbage…” she says about her outlandish clothes. Check out this video where the quirky Ke$ha will introduce you to her garbage-shopping secrets. And to hear more from Ke$ha on her beauty routine and how she removes all that glitter, visit mtv.com. –Jessie Goldberg

Kate Hudson: The Fewer Clothes the Better

Courtesy Elle Magazine

Kate Hudson may rock some high-octane looks on the red carpet, but she prefers a more relaxed vibe when it comes to her everyday attire. “My personal style has never changed,” she tells Elle UK in its October issue, adding: “I love comfortable clothes and a lot of accessories.” In fact, the fewer clothes the better, says the actress and mom, who took time out from her Tuscan vacation with six-year-old son Ryder and British rock star boyfriend Matt Bellamy, to pose for the magazine’s cover. “I don’t like clothes that constrict me. It’s like, would you like to put some clothes on? No, I wouldn’t!” But one thing she’ll happily pile on? Her coveted accessories, especially her mom’s jewelry gifts. “For my birthday this year, she made me a gold necklace with a comedy/tragedy mask pendant. It has a little diamond as the tear,” she says. Claiming not to splurge on sartorial investments, Hudson says she does like to buy nice furniture like “chairs and lamps” and has one particular cabinet which is very close to her heart, as it’s full of her favorite scarves…Hermès scarves. “I have nearly 200 and I buy them all over some new, some from eBay, some from weird little places. I have a cabinet that I lay them out in. I love them they’re so beautifully made.” –Monique Jessen
