Jennifer Lopez’s Newly Single Style: Punctuated by Pucci

Has someone been indulging in a bit of retail therapy? Since announcing her split from husband Marc Anthony, Jennifer Lopez has stepped out several times looking super-sexy — and on each occasion, she’s been wearing Emilio Pucci. Shortly before sharing her shocking separation news, the American Idol judge chatted up the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in a revealing emerald Pucci gown at the July 9 BAFTA gala in L.A. Then in Miami on Friday night, during a pre-birthday celebration with friends, Lopez rocked a bright, patterned Pucci dress and spent the next day at the Bal Harbour Shops outside of South Beach, where she stopped at Hermès, Dolce & Gabbana and of course, Pucci. To round of the Miami weekend, the star flaunted her fabulous figure in yet another Pucci purchase: an itsy-bitsy geometric bikini that she wore while aboard a yacht. She’s always been a fan of the designer, but could her latest looks be a stylish declaration of singledom? Tell us: What do you think of Lopez’s Pucci purchases? –Kim Peiffer

Amber Riley Lets Her Natural Beauty Shine

Amber Riley for Mean Stinks Courtesy Secret

Amber Riley may sport some serious stage makeup when filming Glee, but in her free time, the star keeps her beauty routine pretty low key. “I personally don’t like to wear makeup; if I don’t have to, I won’t,” Riley tells PEOPLE. But there are still certain must-haves she carries with her at all times. “I don’t leave the house without my menthol lip balm from Bath & Body Works,” she says. “I have really dry lips because they’re so big.” Another favorite? “I have to say my CoverGirl bronzer … because if you aren’t wearing a lot of makeup, you can use the bronzer to kind of highlight and contour and it gives you this nice glow.” Now a bona fide star, Riley is confident in her own skin — but that wasn’t always the case. Bullied when she was younger, she’s using her experiences in her new role with Secret’s Mean Stinks anti-bullying campaign, participating in Facebook question and answer sessions with young women, and starring in advertisements that help raise money for the PACER National Bulling Prevention Center. Now a role model herself, Riley says she has her own Hollywood idols, too. “I admire Queen Latifah for her confidence. I don’t think that she’s the norm of what you see on the red carpet in Hollywood and she has accomplished so many things,” she says. “Everything I want to do, she has done: she’s been in television, she’s been a producer and she’s conquered the music world. She’s so gorgeous and she just exemplifies confidence to me.” For more information on the Mean Stinks campaign, visit Facebook. –Kim Peiffer

UPDATE: Ben Affleck Tries a New Do

Ben Affleck's new hair GSI Media

He’s a doting dad, a husband and a successful producer, but Ben Affleck is showing he can still be young and hip despite his mature demeanor. The actor traded in his signature dad look for some longer, flat-ironed locks — but his rep tells PEOPLE that the change is for his role in the new movie Argo. But Affleck is figuring out how to work the look in real life, pairing the hipster-esque hair with a striped shirt, cotton trousers and trainers while out in Santa Monica over the weekend. He’s not the first male star to try straight, long locks: Zac Efron is know for this slicked-down look; Pete Wentz once dabbled in the straight hair trend; and let’s not forget Justin Bieber, the godfather of flat-ironed hair. Since the change is just temporary for Affleck, maybe we’ll see him return to the more tousled style he worked earlier this month. Regardless, we wonder what wife Jennifer Garner thinks about his new look! Tell us: What do you think of Affleck’s new do? –Kim Peiffer

Clarins Helps FEED The World with Beauty

Clarins FEED 15 Pouch Courtesy Clarins

Clarins may be loved by stars like Gwyneth Paltrow and Julianne Moore, but it has something a little bit more philanthropic on its mind these days. The French beauty brand is teaming up with Lauren Bush, co-founder of FEED Projects, to join the fight against worldwide hunger. Together, the companies created the “FEED 15″ pouch ($30), a product-packed bag available at Nordstrom and nordstrom.com, which will help provide schoolchildren with nutritious meals through the United Nations World Food Programme. The goal is to feed 1 million underprivileged children in two years — a goal that Bush is confident they will exceed, considering the sale of each pouch will provide 15 meals. “It’s so exciting for us to have a committed partner for a long-term goal and someone whose core values are so in line with what we’re doing, too,” Bush tells PEOPLE. “I am very proud and very happy to participate with her,” adds Clarins Chairman Christian Courtin-Clarins. The Clarins FEED 15 Pouch contains three of the beauty brand’s most iconic products: Hand and Nail Treatment Cream, Moisture-Rich Body Lotion and Instant Light Natural Lip Perfector. “We are in more than 28 countries today,” Courtin-Clarins says. “[Our concept] is easy to understand, easy to implement, and very clever and efficient.” Check out the exclusive video above to learn more about the FEED partnership with Clarins, and visit nordstrom.com to buy your own FEED 15 pouch today. –Caroline Slutsky, with reporting by Melissa Liebling-Goldberg

Ashley Greene’s Ever-Changing ‘Twilight’ Wig: Finally Just Right

Ashley Greene Twilight Hair Summit Entertainment(2)

She’s been through three installments of the Twilight franchise and now it’s onto the fourth — Breaking Dawn Part 1 — and finally, Ashley Greene feels comfortable with the wig she wears to play Cullen sister Alice. “We wanted to make it a little more modern,” Greene told reporters at Comic-Con in San Diego Thursday when referencing the latest version of the super-short hairpiece. “We were trying to get it exactly right and tweaking it a little bit every time.” The challenge for Greene and director Bill Condon, who helped with the evolution of the looks, was to tailor the wig to their likings without alienating fans with too drastic of a change. Luckily, the latest incarnation seems to be just right. “I was very excited,” Greene said of working with Condon, plus the hair and makeup team, to finalize the latest look. “We made Alice a little more modern. It’s always been really fun to play Alice.” –Jennifer Garcia
