She admitted that she was “terrified” to present her collection at New York Fashion Week, but Rachel Zoe had nothing to worry about Monday as she met with editors, buyers and stars who seemed to universally love her looks.

“It’s amazing,” pal Molly Sims told PEOPLE. “You can really see the influences from all the different designers she’s worked with over the years. She’s got an ode to Missoni, an ode to Pucci. Beautiful. You can see her love of Tom Ford. So well done.”

Zoe said a lot of her looks were inspired by years past. “I’m a vintage freak,” she told PEOPLE. “So clothes that are reminiscent of vintage style are going to be what I do.”

When Bachelor Pad contestant Blake Julian planned his proposal to Holly Durst following the couple’s whirlwind romance during the show’s second season, he wasn’t taking any chances.

To pull off the surprise engagement and to “show Holly exactly how I feel about her,” the South Carolina dentist got down on one knee and wowed Durst with a vintage-style Neil Lane platinum and diamond sparkler.

Handmade and designed by the Los Angeles-based celebrity jeweler, the ring is set with a cushion-cut diamond (Durst’s favorite style) and accented with 162 round diamonds, totaling around three carats.

Bachelor Pad’s Michelle Money Creates Charitable T-shirts in Memory of Her Dad

Michelle Money and Graham Bunn are teaming up again — this time for a good cause. The Bachelor Pad partners bonded while competing together on the reality show earlier this year and have remained close since shooting wrapped … so close that when Money lost her father, Scott Edward Cartwright, to colon cancer on Aug. 14, Bunn traveled from New York to Utah to support her during the funeral.

“[Graham] was so great and flew out here for my dad’s funeral and was really here for me when I needed him the most,” says Money, who competed for Brad Womack’s heart on the last season of The Bachelor. “He’s been a huge support to me throughout all of this … and having him really be there for me when I needed him has really brought me closer to him as well.”

Now Bunn and Money are partnering up to help raise money for colon cancer research by selling T-shirts through Bunn’s charitable clothing company For Six NYC.

She’s been busy with baby Harper and is still recovering from a recent back injury, but Victoria Beckham showed no signs of slowing down Sunday as she presented her first-ever runway show at New York City Fashion Week. The collection contained lots of girlie dresses, plus several jackets with a sporty edge.

The star earned glowing remarks from fellow fashionistas; a major boon for the former Spice Girl, who’s worked hard to be taken seriously in the fashion world. “She is so good at the tailoring,” Project Runway judge and Marie Claire editor Nina Garcia told PEOPLE after the show. “This was a combination of hard and soft. She did some very beautifully tailored pieces and she experimented with pleating. Really, really gorgeous.”

In terms of the color palette and materials, Garcia thought Beckham’s choices were quite sophisticated. “It was very edgy, very Victoria,” she said. “I could see her wearing any one of these, and I can see many women obsessed with this collection because it’s feminine and very flattering.”

Saturday night, Eva Longoria was the hostess with the mostess … outfit changes. The pint-sized Desperate Housewives star, co-hosting the 2011 NCLR ALMA Awards with pal George Lopez, changed gowns a staggering eight times.

Longoria hit the red carpet in a coral dress with a dramatic train, changing into an off-white one-shoulder gown, fitted maroon mermaid gown and shoulderless halter dress as the evening went on.

The actress also worked a lilac look and a fitted white full-sleeve gown as her hosting duties continued. While posing with the award for favorite TV series — which went to her Desperate Housewives — Longoria worked a asymmetrical jersey column gown by Monique Lhuillier. And she also snuck a custom blush look by Lorena Sarbu into the mix. She accessorized several of her dresses with Bochic earrings.
