Jennifer Lopez Previews Her Kohl’s Collection

This fall, you’ll find Jennifer Lopez “On the Floor” — the sales floor, that is. The American Idol judge is preparing for the upcoming launch of her Kohl’s line, Jennifer Lopez Collection, and sharing a sneak peek in the behind-the-scenes clip above.

“I’m really a fan of glamour and old Hollywood and movie stars so I wanted to bring all of those elements of my style into this first collection for Kohl’s,” Lopez says of the line, which includes contemporary sportswear, dresses, handbags, jewelry, shoes and sleepwear. In addition to clothing, she will also be launching the Jennifer Lopez Home Collection, featuring bedding, towels and luggage. As for how she fell into the world of style, she says it all stems from her past.

“I think my personal style has evolved from where I started from, being born in the Bronx and growing up with that kind of urban background,” says the singer, who recently styled some everyday women for O Magazine. Check out her clothing and home collections exclusively at Kohl’s stores and kohls.com beginning in September. Tell us: Will you buy from Lopez’s Kohl’s collection?

Kristen Stewart: Bella and Edward’s Wedding Was My First

She’s joked about the tight security surrounding the filming of the much buzzed-about wedding scene in Breaking Dawn Part 1, but Kristen Stewart says being a part of the actual experience was more dramatic (and fun!) than she expected. “This was my first wedding. It was insane. And odd,” she tells W magazine. “The wedding dress experience was a huge deal. I tried on one version of the dress, and it was like tweak and tweak and alter and tweak and change, and then it’s done,” she explains of the Carolina Herrera creation she wears. “Huge deal.”

But choosing the wedding dress wasn’t the only major life experience she tackled while filming the series. “For me, it was ridiculously dramatic,” she says of the Breaking Dawn movies themselves. “I get married, give birth, the baby has an incredibly accelerated growth rate we’re all very concerned about, and I say goodbye to my dad for the last time ever. It was all big — I could never go, Whew, I’m losing this character.”

And that also meant she had trouble saying goodbye to Bella in the end. “I’d been anticipating that end-of-Bella moment. I was going, Oh, my God — I wonder how I’m going to feel,” she recalls. But it didn’t truly hit her until the very end, after the wedding was just a memory.

Stars Love Express’s $50 Dress!

Hollywood’s hottest new dress has major stars in stripes! Since Aug. 2, six sexy celebs have stepped out in Express’s three-quarter sleeved striped dress (Emily Blunt sported the black-and-white version for a night out on the town) — a steal at only $50.

Each star’s own spin on the dress showed off its versatility. From left, Amanda Seyfried and Emmy Rossum added casual accessories to walk about town; Zoë Saldana belted hers and added posh camel accessories to run errands; January Jones continued her maternity chic streak by adding embellished sandals and a slate bag; and Olivia Munn hit the red carpet in knee-high boots and gold necklaces.

You can share the stars’ style by nabbing the dress yourself — it’s still available at Express.com — but first tell us: Who wore her striped Express dress best?
