Sneak Peek: Rachel Zoe Goes Ba-na-nas Over Boy Shorts

Let’s just say, we “die.” In next week’s episode of The Rachel Zoe Project, the stylist-turned-designer gets down to business as she preps for a photo shoot with Kim Kardashian. But as always, there’s a catch: she has a mere four hours to pull things together, and hurriedly selects an outfit off the racks for the reality star’s shoot.

“Wearing a men’s white shirt with boy shorts is one of the coolest ways to look subtly sexy,” Zoe explains as she chooses a crisp, white button-down for Kardashian. “You want to unbutton the top two buttons and wear a pretty bra underneath.” As for the boy shorts? “You wear boy shorts because it’s more than underwear but you’re not wearing pants,” she says. “It’s just kind of effortless sexy.”

Catch The Rachel Zoe Project Tuesday at 10 p.m. ET on Bravo.

WATCH: Stars Celebrate Fashion Week with Mulberry

Luxe British label Mulberry has no shortage of celebrity fans, and several of them popped up in New York City Monday night to celebrate the brand’s 40th anniversary in style.

Alexa Chung, Maggie Gyllenhaal, Michelle Trachtenberg, Rose Byrne and a host of others raved about the evening’s true star player: Mulberry (watch the clip above to hear them speak). But when they weren’t gushing over handbags and dresses, they sipped margaritas and enjoyed music, dancing, balloon animals and small bites atop the Skylight West Studios in Manhattan.

The celebration didn’t end there, though; the brand was also fêting the recent opening of its new flagship store in New York’s SoHo neighborhood, and another star-studded party will take place across the pond next week in celebration of London Fashion Week.

When Kylie Jenner sashayed down the runway at Monday night’s STYLE360 Abbey Dawn fashion show, more than a few familiar faces dotted the front row: show spectators included sisters Kim and Kourtney Kardashian and Kendall Jenner, brother Brody Jenner and bro-in-law Kris Humphries.

The perfect synergy of talent and good looks (Abbey Dawn is designed by Brody’s flame Avril Lavigne, after all) resulted in what Kylie dubbed “a family affair.”

“I loved having my family there,” Kylie gushed to PEOPLE after the show. “They made me so much more comfortable!” Aside from taking candids and offering up a congratulatory bouquet, family members also took to the Internet to express their admiration. “She was so fab,” big sis Kim Tweeted, with Brody sweetly concurring: “She looked beautiful and was such a natural. Proud to be her brother.”

Armie Hammer’s Manscaping Mishap

Armie Hammer's ManscapingCourtesy DETAILS

He earned rave reviews as twins Tyler and Cameron Winklevoss in the hit film The Social Network, but in Armie Hammer’s latest role, things have been a bit hairier.

Hammer, who plays plays Prince Andrew Alcott in an upcoming Snow White film, says when producers wanted him to shave his chest for a scene with love interest Julia Roberts, he had to put his foot down. “Julia had a line about how smooth my chest is,” he tells Details magazine, “and it’s not. So the producers were like, ‘Okay, just shave him.’”

But the actor, who says his wife is the one responsible for keeping him grounded, wasn’t exactly into that idea — even if it was for an A-lister like Roberts. “I was like, ‘WHOA. I spent 25 years earning this chest hair. I’m wearing purple tights and a codpiece, so, please, let me keep my manhood.’”
