Kim Kardashian’s Something New: Her Custom Leiber Wedding Bags

Style maven that she is, newlywed Kim Kardashian couldn’t go bag-less on her big day. And with an over-the-top glam celebration, it was only fitting that her purse kept with the theme. So Judith Leiber, known for her creative crystal evening clutches, designed custom bags for the whole Kardashian clan.

“They were incredible,” Kardashian tells PEOPLE. The design process began with a call between the Leiber team and the mother of the bride, Kris Jenner, who shared her thoughts on color scheme and the overall look and feel to the custom bags.

Leiber decided to begin by updating the Judith Leiber crystal monogram bag with classic block letters (Kim’s read “kHk”) and a contrast border at the edge of each bag, punctuated by large square crystal at each corner to accent the clean graphic lettering.

Why Is Victoria Beckham Wearing Flats?

Victoria Beckham in Flats Fame

It’s a photograph we never thought we’d see: fashion maven Victoria Beckham in flats. But it’s happened; the star was spotted in Hollywood this week without her signature stilettos, opting instead for a pair of plain black flats.

Why the change? A rep for the designer had no comment, but a source confirms to PEOPLE that Beckham must wear flats as she recovers from a slipped disc in her back. So will she be back in heels in time for New York Fashion Week? Only time will tell.

“She’ll have to see how she feels,” the source tells PEOPLE. “Heels will put added pressure on the damaged area but it’s healing well, so it may not be an issue in another couple weeks.”

Regardless, Beckham still looks glam, and fans are wishing the new mom a speedy recovery. “Thank u for your kind messages,” she said in reply on Twitter last week. “I’m feeling much better and enjoying every precious minute with baby Harper, I’m so in love. X VB.”

Rafael Nadal Strips Down — Again! — for Armani

With the U.S. Open just days away, Rafael Nadal is reminding fans of his physical strength — and his fine physique. The tennis star’s second round of Emporio Armani underwear and Armani Jeans ads dropped Thursday, and needless to say, he looks ready to hit the court.

Debuting the autumn/winter 2011-12 campaign at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City Thursday, Nadal humbly called the photos “good. It’s a different world that is very positive for me,” he told WWD of modeling. “I enjoy it a lot.”

A guy whose style is defined by “jeans, polo shirts and jackets,” Nadal said his work with Armani has upped his fashion ante. But don’t expect to see him wearing the latest runway looks anytime soon. “If I see something I like, I get it,” he said of his low-maintenance shopping style.

Kellan Lutz Addresses Those Racy Clothing Ads

Speaking to PEOPLE at the spring launch of Dylan George and Abbot + Main in Las Vegas, Kellan Lutz was wearing jeans, a T-shirt and a cardigan from the clothing line he helped create. Compared to the ad campaign he shot for the collection, though, he was completely overdressed.

“Did you see any clothes in those ads?” he joked. “Because I didn’t.”

The Twilight star posed in some racy shots with supermodel Anne V recently to promote the Dylan George and Abbot + Main lines. Not matter how sexy the photos were, though, Lutz said he wasn’t nervous thanks to his modeling background.
