REVEALED: Eva Mendes’s Angelic Thierry Mugler Campaign

Is it just us, or is Eva Mendes glowing? The actress, first announced as the face of Thierry Mugler Angel perfume in March, radiates light in a figure-hugging, custom Thierry Mugler dress as she poses in a newly released image from the ad campaign, shot in New York City by Dutch fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin. The Other Guys star follows in the footsteps of the French brand’s most recent spokeswoman, Naomi Watts, who’d served as the face of the scent since 2008. But Mendes is no stranger to sharing her sex appeal: prior to her stint with Thierry Mugler, the actress was taunting the world with her revealing ads for Calvin Klein jeans. She’s also crossing paths with former Angel girl Watts in another campaign — both are showing off their lovely locks as the new faces of Pantene. Mendes’s ads for Angel break in October magazines.  Tell us: What do you think of Mendes’s ethereal ad? –Kim Peiffer

Sienna Miller has some of the most enviable style instincts on the planet, and now one of her personal picks can be yours for only $30! The actress and designer recently lent her editor’s eye to JewelMint, Kate Bosworth‘s social shopping site which features jewelry created with her stylist, Cher Coulter. Miller is the latest celebrity to curate a bauble for the site (Rachel Bilson picked a piece in April) — and while the “Sienna” bracelet may be silver, her heart is pure gold: 50 percent of the proceeds from the piece will benefit International Medical Corps. “I’m so excited to be a part of Kate and Cher’s Curator Series for JewelMint,” Miller said in a statement. “When she asked me to curate a piece, I immediately picked this bracelet because it speaks to my personal style.” To incorporate that style into your wardrobe, visit JewelMint.com soon — it’s only on the site until Aug. 14! –Alex Apatoff

What About Crystal Harris’s Wedding Gear?

She was going to be the belle of the ball at her wedding to Hugh Hefner Saturday night, but instead, Crystal Harris is leaving behind what would’ve been a lavish ceremony — as well as her dress and shoes. The 25-year-old was set to walk down the aisle in a dreamy pink Romona Keveza gown, accessorized with Aruna Seth’s “Aliah” ivory satin ballerina flats ($645). Handmade in Italy, the shoes are embellished with a Swarovski elements satin bow. Sara Rue wore Aruna Seth peep-toe platform heels to her wedding, and Pippa Middleton wore the brand’s platform sandals to the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge‘s evening wedding reception, too. Other celebrity fans include Paris Hilton, Goldie Hawn, Sophia Bush and Princesses Eugenie and Beatrice. Harris called off the wedding on Tuesday, Tweeting that she wished Hefner “the best” going forward. The Playboy mogul, for his part, has taken the split in stride, receiving support from former girlfriends Kendra Wilkinson, Holly Madison and Bridget Marquardt and even using a little humor. “Since we’re not getting married on Saturday, I’ve schedule a movie: Runaway Bride,” the 85-year-old Tweeted Tuesday night. “Seems appropriate.”

EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: Vanessa Hudgens Gets Flirty for Candie’s

Vanessa Hudgens is working her flirty side in her second campaign for Candie’s! The starlet — first announced as the new face of the line in January — is part of the brand’s fall campaign for Kohl’s, showcasing a series of rules known as ‘Candie’s-ism’s,’ like ‘Candie’s girls believe you can do anything in heels.’ So does Hudgens subscribe to any fashion rules? “The more I grow up, the more I’ve been comfortable with my style, therefore allowing me to really experiment with all different looks,” she told PEOPLE during the shoot, which took place in California in April. “I’m extremely inspired by the ’60s and ’70s. I adore Bianca Jagger and Cher.” But her fashion role models don’t always influence her daytime and evening looks. When asked if she prefers edgy or conservative fashions, she says it “depends on the occasion. That’s why I love Candie’s. You can rock it out or be a pink princess.” Considered a burgeoning style icon herself, she admires her contemporaries, as well. “I think Miley [Cyrus] has amazing style. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen. Ashley Tisdale of course … Blake Lively,” she says. “They all play with fashion and have fun with it!” (As do former Candie’s girls Britney Spears and Fergie). Hudgens’s national campaign debuts in magazines this fall, and merchandise will be available exclusively at Kohl’s and kohls.com in the months ahead. And to be a part of the campaign, Candie’s is giving fans the opportunity to choose its next TV commercial. Go to facebook.com/candies to cast your vote. Tell us: What do you think of Hudgens’s flirty Candie’s ads? –Kim Peiffer

Sneak Peek: Britney Spears’s Sexy ‘Femme Fatale’ Tour Costumes

When Britney Spears hits the tour circuit in Sacramento, Calif., come Thursday, she’ll be dancing “Till the World Ends” in her signature sexy style. We got a sneak peek of the singer’s sultry “Femme Fatale” tour costumes, courtesy of designer Zaldy Goco, and the looks are smoldering. “The true muse for me … is Britney herself,” Goco tells PEOPLE. “She has such a clear idea of how she wants to present herself and what she wants to deliver to her fans.” The show’s concept, though, comes from tour director Jamie King, who wanted to present femme fatales throughout the years. “The idea to create iconic personas or disguises for Britney was really inspirational,” Goco says. Spears will take the stage in a shimmering silver outfit — “the simple colorless crystal is so pure on stage, the brilliance is like nothing else,” Goco shares — and during her performances, change into looks like a mirrored gold jacket, snake charmer outfit, kimono featuring a “Japanime Britney” and more. There’s also some “spikey stud couture,” as Goco says; a purple leather jacket covered with thousands of pink chrome studs, safety pins, spikes and chains. “It’s something you haven’t seen before,” he explains. “We found the one place in America that could make that dream come true.” But the true showstopper? Her daring black Swarovski crystal-covered closing number outfit, which illuminates with LED lights and animates fire and lightening. Says Goco, “It’s the pièce de résistance.” Tell us: Are you excited to see Spears on tour? –Kate Hogan
