Sherri Shepherd’s Carry On? Her Wedding Dress

Is this her one small bag, or her personal item? Sherri Shepherd toted quite the carry on Tuesday on a flight from New York City, deciding to keep her wedding dress with her in flight.

“Headed out tomorrow 2 Chicago… I’m carrying my dress with me,” the View host Tweeted late Monday. “Hopefully the nice flight attendants will be able to store it-dress is huge.” Though she called customer service to see if her flight crew could accommodate her gown, she ultimately ended up keeping it with her. “May not have had any room to sit but I got my wedding dress on that plane,” she Tweeted.

Shepherd, who got engaged to TV writer Lamar Sally in December, is marrying her “baby” this weekend in Chicago. And though she’s revealed some details of her big day — her cake will be red velvet and her 6-year-old son Jeffrey will walk her down the aisle — the look of her dress, designed by Rivini, has stayed a secret. However, the talk show hostess did admit to lying about her dress size, kicking her into a diet and exercise frenzy last month. “Elisabeth [Hasselbeck] told me to tell the truth but I lied. So I’m going to the gym and starting Zumba tomorrow,” she joked in June.

Work it, ladies! Hilary Duff and Top Chef‘s Padma Lakshmi are breaking a sweat with Jenny McCarthy and Christie Brinkley in Danskin’s new “Move for Change” campaign, which debuts in magazines this fall.

Sporting looks from Danskin’s activewear line, each woman is photographed doing her daily fitness routine: Duff hits the trails; Lakshmi throws punches in the ring; McCarthy practices yoga; and Brinkley dances on stage in Chicago. The hope is that the campaign will show women everywhere that they can easily be fit and fabulous and follow a healthy lifestyle.

“The Danskin campaign is women of all ages — 20s, 30s, 40s and 50s — what they like to do to stay in shape and how they keep fit in mind, body and soul,” Duff said in a statement. And according to Lakshmi, the gear itself is timeless, too. “Danskin is a great brand that we’ve all grown up with,” she added.

To promote its healthy (and helpful) message, Danskin is donating money to each star’s favorite cause, too, including Duff’s Blessings in a Backpack, Lakshmi’s Endometriosis Foundation of America, McCarthy’s Generation Rescue and Brinkley’s Ellen P. Hermanson Foundation.

Liu sparkled in her frock, a high-hemmed number she paired with leggings. And Wilde kept her look totally runway, keeping it simple with black heels and straight hair.

Call her fit, fine, fashionable — but don’t call her trendy. Speaking to reporters Sunday night at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles, Cameron Diaz said her style is all her own.

“I have never been into trends. I don’t understand trends,” she said. “I tried on a dress a few days ago that was like, spring 2012, and I was like, ‘Where are we?’ Why can’t I just buy a dress for summer 2011? That’s all I need.”

Looking chic in an A.L.C. strapless “Astrid” dress (ironically from the brand’s resort 2012 collection), the actress joked that fashion is moving too fast for her. “By the time we get to 2012, I am going to be wearing something for 2013 … It doesn’t really make any sense to me!”

She’s gone through her fair share of beauty transformations for the four installments of Twilight — from pale makeup to ever-changing wigs — but when she’s off set, Ashley Greene is all about maintaining a low-key look.

“I have a very laid back and easy beauty routine,” she tells BellaSugar.com. “I wash my face about three times a day, drink lots of water and exercise when I can.” And though she doesn’t depend on a ton of makeup to get her through the day, she has a few simple staples she uses regularly. “Every day I wear concealer, mascara and lip gloss,” she reveals. “I’ve also become proactive about my skincare now that I’m in my early twenties.”
