Victoria Beckham’s Off-Duty Uniform: A Bikini

New mom Victoria Beckham may oversee a fashion empire, but that doesn’t mean she dresses up for work.

“When I’m here in London, which is for about a week every month it’s really, really full-on,” she says in the autumn/winter issue of ELLE Collections. When the designer is in the U.S., where husband David Beckham plays soccer for the Los Angeles Galaxy, her look is decidedly less formal. “I use Skype to talk with my team,” she says, “usually wearing either a dressing gown or a bikini.”

And while we rarely see the style icon sans trademark heels and sunglasses, Beckham insists her style is low maintenance. Of shopping sprees: “I just don’t have the time,” she says. “I get a lot of clothes on Net-a-Porter and I wear my own stuff.” Speaking of her stuff, could a collection of swimwear be next?

Dianna Agron Dyes Her Hair Hot Pink

Pink lady alert! Glee star Dianna Agron stepped out in Los Angeles on Thursday with a bright new hot pink hair hue. The actress — who chopped her hair in May and has since shaped it into a shaggy bob — had just finished a week of promoting her new film, Glee: The 3D Concert Movie, and had returned to set with her castmates.

Agron, who told PEOPLE that she hopes she can keep her short locks for the show, joins a growing number of celebrities who’ve colored their hair in recent weeks. Kate Bosworth debuted blue dip-dyed strands last week, after Lauren Conrad started the trend (before that, Conrad had tried multi-colored ends, too). After more than a month of experimentation — she went from black to “ginger” to blonde — Katy Perry stepped out with lavender hair. And earlier this week, Sienna Miller showed off some subtle peach-tinged tresses in Ibiza, Spain.

With so many stars channeling the colors of the rainbow these days, we want to know: Which star’s colorful hairstyle is your favorite?

Kate Hudson’s Mom Inspired Her Jewelry Line

Kate Hudson remembers admiring an heirloom choker belonging to her mother, Goldie Hawn. “It was one of the first pieces I ever remember my mother wearing,” she tells ELLE, “and it was like, Wow, I hope one day I get to wear jewelry like that.”

In fact she did — Hawn gave Hudson the choker on her 21st birthday — but the piece meant even more: it inspired Hudson’s new jewelry collaboration, CH+KH, a capsule collection for Los Angeles-based jeweler Chrome Hearts. The brand’s co-owner, Laurie Lynn Stark, happens to be one of the actress’s closest friends, so Hudson says working with her was only natural. “It occurred to us, we spend all of this time together — why don’t we make something?” she says.

The result? A line of 18- and 22-karat gold rings, necklaces, bracelets and earrings set with white diamonds, fresh water pearls, green tourmaline, peridot, citrine and aquamarine gemstones. Many of the pieces — more delicate than Chrome Hearts’s heavier gems — reference 1970s vintage pieces that Hudson collects. But they also reflect the tastes of the actress-turned-designer, too.

All About Mark-Paul Gosselaar’s Romantic Engagement Ring!

Right from the start, Mark-Paul Gosselaar knew what he wanted a dream engagement ring to exude: romance.

“He’s a romantic at heart and he was looking to express it,” says celebrity jeweler Neil Lane, who collaborated with Gosselaar, 36, on an ideal sparkler to give to his advertising executive girlfriend Catriona McGinn. “I worked on creating her dream ring for about a month. She had seen a ring of mine and Mark-Paul brought in a photo of it and we started customizing it, finding the perfect stone, showing sketches, discussing the mounting and how many smaller diamonds it would have and really designing it together. It’s rare to find a guy who really wants to find the perfect ring and be so very involved in the process.”

Rachel Zoe Will ‘Never Wear’ Sneakers

Rachel Zoe Shares Her Top Style Tips

Thinking of wearing a kitten heel out this weekend? Ba-na-nas. According to Rachel Zoe, you have to stick to flats or go sky-high. And wide-leg jeans? So in. The celebrity stylist is sharing these gems and more in the September issue of Redbook, which features Zoe’s seven principles of style. Want some free advice from one of Hollywood’s fiercest fashionistas? Here are some tips:

Wide-leg jeans or boot-cut jeans are surprisingly flattering. “They really elongate the leg,” she tells the magazine. “People think they have to wear everything skin-tight to look smaller, but that’s just not the case. I wear my jeans with a vintage Chanel jacket and an LNA tee: It’s glamorous, but also really comfortable.”

Try a tuxedo jacket for fall if you’re feeling trendy. “It’s flattering for every size — and every age — and it can be worn seamlessly from work to a night out,” says Zoe.

Behind the Scenes at Kate Moss’s ‘Rock ‘n’ Roll’ Wedding

For Kate Moss, planning her July 1 nuptials to rocker Jamie Hince was a little more complicated than saying “I do.”

“I’ve thrown parties for other people, but this is a completely different thing,” the cover girl reveals of her pre-wedding jitters in Vogue‘s September issue. “I’ve gone mental. Jamie thinks I’m mad, asking, ‘Are you gonna be all right? After the wedding, I’m hoping you’ll get back to normal!’”

With 16 bridesmaids and flower girls, including daughter Lila Grace, 8 (pictured below), and a vision in mind — “I wanted it to be kind of dreamy and 1920s, when everything is soft-focus,” she says — Moss dubbed the theme: “Rock-’n’-roll Great Gatsby!”

The dress, a beaded and lace confection by John Galliano, also achieved the desired effect — and then some! “She dared me to be John Galliano again,” the maligned couturier gushed, adding that designing the gown for Moss was his “creative rehab.” For more behind-the-scenes details and photos from Moss and Hince’s wedding day (including shots of guests like Kelly Osbourne and Paul McCartney), head to Vogue.com.
