Kate Bosworth’s Red Carpet Ammunition: JewelMint Accessories

Have you ever wondered, ‘What’s Kate Bosworth‘s style secret?’ Well, PEOPLE recently found out from the fashion plate’s stylist and business partner, Cher Coulter — and the key actually lies in the pals’ moderately-priced accessories line, JewelMint. Coulter credits the brand’s vintage-inspired earrings for making a Derek Lam midi-length frock (below) “more red carpet.” A cozy gray Isabel Marant outfit (below, paired with the star’s favorite booties) is instantly edgy with layered jewels. “Mixing the metals of the necklaces is a favorite thing to do for us when designing [our line],” Coulter explains. And though she likes Bosworth’s casual looks, Coulter enjoys when the actress kicks it up a notch on the red carpet. “I love this dress and how hard it is,” she says of a peek-a-boo Chloé getup (below). “The sheer tights with the Isabel Marant shoes give the look a personality, [while] the rings are the perfect accent to a look that’s so chic and strong.” With 12 new items available at jewelmint.com monthly for only $29.99 apiece, we’re tempted to pick up some of those baubles and accessorize for ourselves! Tell us: Which of Bosworth’s well-accessorized looks is your favorite? Justine Harman

Adriana Lima’s Beauty Essentials: Perfume and Push-up Bras

What does it take to be as sexy as Victoria’s Secret Angel Adriana Lima? Apparently a sweet scent — and some, ahem, enhancing lingerie. At a Victoria’s Secret Incredible bra and perfume launch event in New York on Wednesday, the new mom told Stylelist that she wears push-up bras at night to “prepare for [her] hubby. I like to be sexy and comfortable,” she said. And she flaunts a fragrance — Victoria’s Secret Incredible — to match. “The fragrance was inspired by the bra, which is all about comfort and feeling sexy,” she explained. “[It's] also inspired by the fabric, which is very smooth, so this fragrance is … fruity, floral.” Lima is all about spilling her tips on looking sexy, but there’s one secret she’s tight-lipped about: her spouse’s scent! In fact, Lima laughed at the prospect of a fragrance inspired by hubby Marko Jaric’s skin. “It’s just for me,” she said. “That one I [will] keep only for myself and would not give that to every woman in the world. I’m sorry.” Tell us: Will you try Victoria’s Secret Incredible perfume?Kim Peiffer

Shortly after announcing her second eco-friendly fashion collaboration, Emma Watson has expanded her stylish résumé yet again, this time for a “green” capsule collection with Italian designer Alberta Ferretti. According to WWD, the line, called Pure Threads, consists of five pieces: two dresses, a shirt, a long skirt and a pair of denim shorts, all enriched with lace embroideries and made with organic fabrics such as cotton poplin, cotton muslin and hemp. “Emma had a Jane-Birkin-in-the-Seventies image in mind,” Ferretti told WWD about the starlet’s inspiration. A portion of proceeds from the collection will be donated to People Tree, a nonprofit organization Watson supports. “I’m pleased that a luxury brand such as Alberta Ferretti has decided to create ecological clothes,” said Watson. “I believe this is a big step forward for all of the international fashion industry, but also an important step for an increased sensitivity to the problem of ecology.” Pure Threads will be available exclusively on albertaferretti.com beginning March 21. –Kim Peiffer

Kelly Rutherford’s Handbags are ‘Little Affordable Luxuries’

What’s the latest gossip? Gossip Girl matriarch Kelly Rutherford’s new handbag line is taking off! “I call them my little affordable luxuries,” Rutherford told PEOPLE of her leather bags ($130-$199), sold exclusively on QVC.com. “They are very affordable and something you could wear every day, which is what I thought was missing [in the market].” For inspiration, the first-time designer reflected back on the classics. “I always loved people like Catherine Deneuve and Brigitte Bardot and Grace Kelly,” she shared with PEOPLE at QVC’s Style Party at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills. But that doesn’t mean the looks appeal to an older crowd only — in fact, they’ve had almost the opposite effect. Though Rutherford’s mom is a fan, “I went to pick my son up at school the other day, and I had girls that look like they were about seniors [in high school] come up and ask me where I got my satchel bag,” she said. “I was so excited, I said, ‘I did this! I designed this!’ ” No word on whether Serena van der Woodsen will be sporting one anytime soon. Tell us: Would you buy one of Rutherford’s bags?Michelle Ward
