VIDEO: Get a Sneak Peek of Model Chrissy Teigen’s Swimsuit Collection

Sports Illustrated swimsuit model Chrissy Teigen is giving fans a sneak peek inside her home — and of her new swimwear collection! The model, who shares a sweet  L.A. pad with boyfriend John Legend, opened her doors to Extra this week to show off her new swimwear collection, a collaboration with bathing suit designer Neila Rudden of diNeila. The suits, some with high waists, exotic prints and even a little sparkle, were created to show off curvy figures like Teigen’s. “[Rudden] loves a body and she loves curves and boobs … and I have that for her, so it worked,” Teigen shares. Want to see more? The swimsuit-loving stunner will show off the new pieces during Miami Swim Week in July. Tell us: What do you think of Teigen’s swimsuit line? –Kim Peiffer

Spray Tans, Fedoras and Sunscreen: Laura Linney’s Summer Skin Safety Tips

Fair-skinned Laura Linney is no stranger to sunburns, sunscreen … or skin cancer. Growing up with a mother who worked at New York’s Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center, the actress has always “been very aware of cancer and how fierce a disease it is.” And now that she’s playing a character fighting stage four melanoma on Showtime’s The Big C, Linney is working to spread the word about skin protection and cancer prevention. Speaking to PEOPLE at Cosmopolitan‘s Safe Sun Awards in Manhattan on Wednesday, where she was honored for her efforts to battle melanoma, she said, “Any attention that I can help raise, I am happy to do.” Her number one piece of advice? “Sunscreen, sunscreen, sunscreen,” she emphasized. “There are now so many different kinds of sunscreen. There are lotions, there are sprays, there are powders. There’s something for everybody out there.” But protecting your skin can come with its fashion perks, too. “I wear a lot of scarves because I get very burned,” she said, adding, “I love hats. I do the big crazy, southern-lady gardening hat, I do the baseball cap; I love fedoras.” If you do crave that golden glow, “Roxanne Rizzo has a spray tan that’s very, very good,” Linney shared. But staying sun-safe doesn’t mean you can’t hit the beach or spend an afternoon outside. “Everything in moderation,” she said. “It just means you have to grow up and be a little responsible about it.” –Hannah Kay Hunt

Get Girly in Victoria Beckham’s New Line of Dresses

While creating her new dress line, Victoria by Victoria Beckham, the megstar informed her staffers that she was pregnant. “One of my team said, ‘It would be funny if you found out you were having a girl,’” she recalls to WWD. “Because this is the most girly collection I’ve ever created.” Priced primarily from $550 to $900, the colorful, ’60s-esque line was inspired by the cartoon character Emily the Strange, a cat-loving teen with a cute-meets-chic sense of style. “These are the kind of dresses I’ve been searching for,” Beckham says. “The perfect little summer dress, something that was fun, something that was girly, something that was easy to wear, something that would take you from day through the night.” And while creating the looks, she kept the average customer in mind. “I’m opening these designs to women and girls of all different shapes and sizes, people who maybe want something less tight and clingy and structured,” Beckham explains, contrasting the dresses to her current Victoria Beckham collection. “You can wear them with a pair of flats or a pair of heels and they look great.” Expect to see the mom-to-be out promoting her looks, too; she tells WWD she plans on “making quite a fuss when this launches at retail” for spring/summer 2012.
