She may be a married woman now, but don’t expect Kim Kardashian to sit back, relax and play housewife anytime soon.

The reality starlet, who just returned to the states after a brief honeymoon on Italy’s Amalfi coast, is still going full speed ahead with her career, showing off her sultry side in a new ad for Kim Kardashian Gold fragrance. In the photo, Kardashian flaunts her curves in a sexy, cleavage-bearing gold dress, with glowing makeup and a sleek ponytail.

The fragrance, which she says makes her “feel sexy,” combines top notes of Italian bergamot and grapefruit with spicy pink peppercorn, plus a floral heart of jasmine, delicate rose and resins of amber and creamy benzoin. A hint of musk finishes the scent, which is displayed inside a rounded golden bottle.

How the Williams Sisters Are (Fashionably) Prepping for the U.S. Open

Tennis pros Venus and Serena Williams have been busy preparing for the U.S. Open, but it’s not just their backhand swings they’re perfecting. The sisters always make a fashionable statement on the New York City courts, too, and this year will be no exception.

“The U.S. Open this year is all about the little black dress, and I always put zippers in my dresses, so there will be a zipper down the back,” Venus tells sis Serena of her planned look in an interview with Hamptons Magazine. “Because I don’t ever wear black in the daytime, it will be opposing colors. Last year there were three different styles; this year it will be simple because it is just one, but in different colors.”

And while Venus focuses on her trendsetting ensembles, Serena is nailing a look of her own on the court, painting her nails with the final colors from her OPI “Glam Slam!” polish collection, which was released in phases around the four tennis grand slams. The two hues, both for Glam Slam! U.S., include a shimmering red called “Love is a Racket,” and a glittering bronze, “Pros & Bronze.” May the most stylish sister win!

Tell us: What do you think of the Williams sisters’ on-court style?

Sneak a Peek at Missoni for Target

Target’s biggest designer partnership to date — its collaboration with Missoni — is launching in mere days. Going live in Target stores and on target.com on Sept. 13, with an early preview in New York City on Fashion’s Night Out, Sept. 8, it features more than 400 pieces for women, men, children and home — and is arguably one of the most hotly anticipated collaborations yet.

So what can you expect from Missoni for Target? Aside from the classic patterned knits, look out for men’s ties, bowls and platters for the home and even a bicycle. Items range in price from $2.99 to $599.

In the clip above, Margherita Maccapani Missoni, daughter of creative director Angela, talks about the “very big” collaboration as well as the campaign, which channeled Italian movies of the 1960s, the era when Missoni became famous outside of Italy.

Matt Damon’s Bald Head Is ‘Great in the Summertime’

Matt Damon Bald Head Brandon Todd/Splash News Online

His wife may call him “Red Alert,” but there’s another nickname Matt Damon might not seem to mind these days: baldy. After debuting a hairless head in Vancouver last month, the actor told reporters this weekend that he’s enjoying his new look.

“It’s for a movie I’m doing,” he said Saturday at the Contagion press junket in Los Angeles, adding that this wasn’t his first time sporting a bald head for a role. “I did shave my head once [before], when I did The Brothers Grimm. I had a wig and it made it easier to get the wig on.”

Though the haircut was required, Damon said he’s not missing his long locks. “I love it. I see why these guys rock it,” he said, referencing costar Laurence Fishburne, director Steven Soderbergh and writer Scott Z. Burns, who joined him at the junket — with similar hairstyles.

Heavy metal reigned at the MTV Video Music Awards last night, as a bevy of beauties hit the black carpet in stunning metallic gowns.

Demi Lovato shimmered in Mandalay’s metallic silver jewel-encrusted dress, paired with equally shiny shoes. Newlywed Kim Kardashian took a little sparkle away from her engagement ring in a plunging v-neck KaufmanFranco gown, which featured a sexy, cutout back. Victoria Justice continued the trend, sporting a one-of-a-kind metallic leather and metal fringe cocktail dress by Theia. And Vanessa Hudgens shimmied into an after-party wearing a floor-length silver gown highlighted by a necklace, two cuffs and a cocktail ring from Jewelry by Nola.

Selena Gomez also brought some shine to the stage, wearing a charcoal beaded high-neck mod dress by Jenny Packham while presenting with Taylor Lautner, and Jersey Shore‘s Jenni “J-Woww” Farley cleaned up in a glimmering, three-quarter-sleeved mini. Talk about shine control! Tell us: What do you think of the metallic trend?

Which VMAs Style Moment Was Most Shocking?

Baby bumps, Britney tributes and Bruno bashing — oh my! The MTV Video Music Awards were filled with many buzz-worthy moments last night, but the style choices of several stars gave us just as much to talk about.

Lady Gaga started the two-hour show as her male alter ego, Jo Calderone, wearing Brooks Brothers pants, a men’s jacket, little makeup and a short black wig. She convincingly stayed in character (and costume) all night, even hitting on Britney Spears while presenting her with the Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award.

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj hit the black carpet in a jagged bodysuit accessorized with plush creatures, knee-highs and lots of colorful hair. “Tokyo inspired this outfit,” she told reporters during the show. “Harajuku is something I have been absorbing for a long time.”
