Tour Rachel Zoe’s Crazy-Big Closet!

Like Willy Wonka unlocking the gates to his chocolate factory, Hollywood’s most famous stylist and budding fashion designer Rachel Zoe recently opened the door of her label-loaded closet to ABC News. With racks of gorgeous threads, shelves of sky-high heels and hanging handbags of the moment, Zoe insisted that this was just part of her fashion collection, “the stuff I kinda wear the most,” while the rest of her archives are stored elsewhere. The clear standout in Zoe’s room-size style sanctuary is her impressively tall shoe collection, comprised of dangerously chic stilettos and platforms. And while she proudly showcases the towering footwear from the likes of Versace and Roger Vivier that she donned throughout her pregnancy — “I had better balance pregnant than not pregnant,” she explained — the new mom is now willing to give up her coveted high-fashion wares for one thing: four-month-old son Skyler Morrison. As she preached, “My rule is I do not hold my child in heels.” Tell us: Are you impressed by Zoe’s packed closet? –Christie LaRusso

Kellan Lutz Sizzles in Two Fall Clothing Campaigns

Kellan Lutz Shirtless Yu Tsai for Dylan George

Shirtless Kellan Lutz? Yes, please! The Twilight hunk is steaming up computer screens in new photographs for the Dylan George and Abbot + Main by Dylan George fall 2011 ad campaigns — with a little help from supermodel Anne V. The pair teamed up with photographer Yu Tsai to complete the steamy shoot at a Beverly Hills mansion. But Lutz isn’t just serving as the face of the brands; he’s designing for Abbot + Main, too. “I didn’t just put my face on it,” he told PEOPLE Tuesday night at the DKNY Sunglass Soiree in New York. “It’s all of my designs … we have a great design team.” A multi-tasking man — Lutz started working on the line while filming Breaking Dawn — he says he was involved in all aspects of the creation process. “I tried on all the articles of clothing,” he explained. “But to see it actually come full forward is very exciting.” Catch Abbot + Main for Dylan George — which includes T-shirts and knitwear ranging from $44 to $178 — at Nordstrom stores soon. –Reporting by Sydney Berger

Surprise Fashion Faceoff: Kanye, Jessica and Mary-Kate All in the Same Shirt!

What do Kanye West, Jessica Simpson and Mary-Kate Olsen have in common? They love Céline’s chic summer blouses! The stars engaged in a bit of three-way fashion faceoff this summer, each donning a different Céline look while out and about. West wore his, a top from designer Phoebe Philo’s spring 2011 ready-to-wear collection, while performing at the Coachella Music Festival in California in April. One month later, Simpson was spotted dining in New York City in a similar blouse from the very same collection. Fast-forward to this month, when we caught Olsen outside of her Manhattan hotel in a shirt from Céline’s Classics collection. We’re personally fans of all three looks, but want to know what you think. Tell us: Who wears a Céline blouse best?

Courteney Cox’s Dry-Skin Busting Must-Haves

She may be one of Hollywood’s most glamorous leading ladies, but Courteney Cox still has beauty problems of her own. “I have the dryest skin,” she laments on xoJane.com, where she serves as the site’s new beauty columnist. “I know I need to drink more water.” But until she starts seeing results from H2O, the actress has a few tricks up her sleeve. “[Something] that really helps is to take a loofah or a thistle brush,” she suggests, recommending one made from palm fibers like Earth Therapeutics Purest Palm Body Brush ($7.20). She says to use it on dry skin before taking a shower. “I brush upwards and it hurts,” she warns. “Then I shower.” After the shower and while she’s still wet, Cox puts on Aura Cacia sweet almond oil ($13.65). “Don’t rub it off with your towel, just pat your skin or let it dry naturally,” she advises. If at this point your skin is still very dry, the self-proclaimed “coconut nut” says to apply an oil like “Pure Fiji coconut milk and honey ($24). Yes, you will be pretty oily for a bit, but if you have the time to let it soak in, you’ll feel great,” she says. Just one word of warning: “Watch out when you’re wearing silk shirts!” Tell us: How do you deal with dry skin? –Caroline Slutsky

FIRST LOOK: Eddie Cibrian Strips Down for Charisma

Talk about a sexy bedfellow! The Playboy Club‘s Eddie Cibrian stars in the latest campaign for Charisma bath and bedding products, in a series of ads set to hit magazines in October. The handsome actor, who married LeAnn Rimes in April, poses in various states of undress in his photos, even donning a robe — and jumping into a tub! Cibrian has never been shy about flaunting his toned physique: he hits the beach with his new wife quite often, and to stay in shape, regularly visits the gym (and even the slopes in the cold winter months). Cibrian follows in the footsteps of some smoldering past spokesmen: Sex and the City‘s Jason Lewis and Halle Berry‘s ex Gabriel Aubry have both been in the buff for Charisma, too. Find the line exclusively at Bloomingdale’s — and keep an eye out for Cibrian’s multi-media campaign this fall. Tell us: What do you think of Cibrian’s sexy shots? –Kate Hogan

Mary-Kate, Ashley Olsen Give Needy Children Some Functional New Footwear

The Row for TOMS Darren Yokota

Talk about happy feet! Children in Honduras were recently treated to one-on-one shoe fittings with designers Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, who visited the Central American country to deliver footwear on behalf of TOMS. The actresses partnered with the charitable brand to create a limited-edition line of shoes through their label The Row; in celebration of the collaboration, they brought brand new pairs of TOMS’s everyday walking shoes to needy kids from three different communities outside the city of Tegucigalpa. The sisters were joined by a group of volunteers, and when they weren’t fitting feet, they visited classrooms and played soccer with the locals. “Having the opportunity to be a part of something so meaningful has made the collaboration with TOMS special to everyone at The Row,” Mary-Kate told WWD earlier this year. The TOMS + The Row shoes themselves, available in gray, black and plaid for $140-$150, are made of Italian wool and cashmere blends with lamb leather lining and black suede insoles. And just like TOMS’s everyday shoes, proceeds from sales of these cozy classics will benefit the greater good: for every pair of TOMS + The Row shoes sold, a child in need will receive a new pair of shoes. –Kate Hogan
