Some of the most beautiful faces in Hollywood, including current and former CoverGirl models Taylor Swift, Ellen Degeneres, Drew Barrymore, Queen Latifah, Rachel Hunter and Cheryl Tiegs, turned out to celebrate the iconic brand’s 50th anniversary bash at Boa Steakhouse in West Hollywood on Wednesday. “[CoverGirl] is a family. It’s a very special thing,” Tiegs, who has been working with CoverGirl since the 1980s told PEOPLE. Barrymore stood out in a bright orange Jil Sander dress that may have been inspired by CoverGirl Lashblast mascara, for which Barrymore is a spokesperson. “I’m not kidding. I’ve got Smokyshadowblast. I’ve got my Lashblast,” Barrymore exclaimed, opening up her black Hunting Season clutch to show PEOPLE what was inside. Also in attendance? Sophia Bush, Lauren Conrad, Cat Deeley and Modern Family‘s Sofia Vergara. A Pamela Rowland-clad Bush, who  confessed to PEOPLE that she didn’t spend much time primping for the event (“I was in yoga pants eating dinner at Real Food Daily until 7:30 p.m. Then I ran home and got ready,” she said), took photos with partygoers and and even hugged and chatted with a restaurant server. Swift, who did a wardrobe change between was clearly ready to let loose and party, as celebrity deejay Samantha Ronson kept the glammed-up crowd moving. – Vanessa Diaz

Rihanna to Launch Her First Fragrance, Reb’l Fleur

Rihanna Perfume Fragrance Reb'l Fleur Rebel FleurParlux

It’s a deal that’s been months in the making, but Rihanna is now officially Hollywood’s newest perfumer with the launch of her debut signature scent, Reb’l Fleur. “My grandmother in Barbados used to call me her Rebel Flower,” the singer tells PEOPLE of what inspired the fragrance’s name. And while the name might be the natural choice, deciding on the final mix proved something more of a challenge. “Over the years, I layered many different scents to get something that was truly my own,” she says. “But I wanted…something that said ‘Rihanna was here.’ Something delicious and special, a fragrance with subtle hints that linger and leave a sexy memory.” The end result recalls the star’s Caribbean upbringing with ripe fruits and sumptuous florals, as well as a musky mix of vanilla, patchouli and amber. Reb’l Fleur will begin rolling into department stores in February, priced at $49 for a 1.7 oz. bottle. Tell us: Will you buy Rihanna’s debut perfume? – Hana Choi

Orange you glad Victoria Beckham started such a delectable trend? Nearly two months after Posh turned heads in a citrus-hued shift of her own design, three very different stars opted to wear the punchy color in three very different ways! Drew Barrymore hit Covergirl’s 50th anniversary bash in West Hollywood Wednesday night, glowing in a strapless orange Jil Sander dress with a gathered hem, Jack Vartanian earrings and knuckle-length Lucifer vir Honestus ring. Also in L.A., newcomer Lucy Hale attended the People’s Choice Awards in a tangerine Ronald Abdala frock and silver Rene Caovilla sandals. 3,000 miles away in N.Y.C., Emmy Rossum stopped by Late Night with Jimmy Fallon in a two-toned frock with sheer sleeves and gold Coomi chandelier earrings. And while each look was decidedly different, one thing is for sure: This trend is ripe for the picking! –Justine Harman
