Newlyweds LeAnn Rimes and Eddie Cibrian didn’t seem to mind the close quarters in the front row at Monique Lhuillier Saturday night, enjoying each others’ company at their very first fashion show together.

“I love Monique, she is one of my favorite designers,” Rimes told PEOPLE at New York’s Lincoln Center. “So it’s nice to come out and support her, and this is Eddie’s first show with me. So it’s fresh.”

Though Rimes said it took her all of 30 minutes to get ready for their night out, Cibrian needed a little more time. “It took me an hour and a half,” he joked, making Rimes giggle. “And there is a big discrepancy there, and I don’t like that.”

So what’d he think of his first New York City runway show? “It’s a lot of hoopla,” the Playboy Club star admitted. “But not too much.”

That’s not to say he wouldn’t have preferred to be at a baseball game though. “He’s so boyish,” said Rimes. “So, you know.”

Rihanna’s Steamy New Armani Ads Revealed

There’s no doubt about it: Rihanna is a good girl gone bad (and beautiful) in her new ads for Armani.

The singer, brand ambassador for Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans for autumn/winter 2011-12, looks downright sultry in the brand’s latest advertising campaign. The images, shot on location in New York, feature Rihanna sporting a blonde cropped do with blunt bangs, lounging seductively in lingerie in the backseat of a car and posing in items like jeans, lace bras and a leather jacket.

As the new face of the brand, Rihanna is following in the sexy footsteps of Megan Fox and Rafael Nadal, who went nearly naked in Armani photo and video ads earlier this year. See Rihanna’s campaign in full when it launches worldwide later this month.

Eva Amurri: My Wedding Gown Is ‘Very Me’

She’s already found “the one” in fiancé Kyle Martino, but it wasn’t until just recently that bride-to-be Eva Amurri found the other “one” — her wedding dress.

After trying on “a ton of dresses” in what she called a “weird, long process,” the actress settled on a gown by designer Lela Rose. “It’s not a princess dress,” Amurri, daughter of Susan Sarandon, told PEOPLE at the Lela Rose fashion show at New York’s Lincoln Center Saturday. “That’s all I’m saying. It’s very me. I felt like it was already hanging in my closet.”

Amurri (pictured in Lincoln Center’s Mercedes-Benz Star Lounge) perused dozens of designer dresses, but “they didn’t feel like me. I just felt like my head was stuck on a different girl’s body.” After finding the Lela Rose dress online, she went for a fitting and after a few changes, fell in love. “I tried it on and it was over,” she shared. Rose also designed Sarandon’s mother-of-the-bride dress, as well as looks for the bridesmaids.

Rachel Bilson Once Gave a Dress a ‘Fashion Funeral’

What’s Rachel Bilson‘s secret to landing atop so many best-dressed lists? Taking funky finds and giving them her own twist.

“I don’t like things that look too pulled together,” she tells Women’s Health magazine. “I like the casual touch on a dressy outfit. A vintage dress with designer shoes is always a safe bet. Or a vintage blouse with a pair of jean shorts.”

The avid eBay shopper, who also has a home line, constantly updates her collection by visiting antique shops and vintage stores every time she finds herself in a new city. But sometimes modifying her outfits comes with a bit of a risk. “I cut a vintage dress recently, and it was not a good result,” she says. “I cut it way too short. We had a funeral — there were tears.”

And though the stylish star has a passion for all things fashion, there are certain accessories that really make her drool: shoes. “I’m obsessed,” she says of her fetish for footwear, which involves designs by Charlotte Olympia. “I love her colors and textures. I have these emerald-green ones and a cool yellow raffia pair by her. They’re pumps, but I love wedges too …” For more with Bilson, pick up the October issue of Women’s Health, on newsstands Tuesday.

JoAnna Garcia-Swisher Gets Real About Beauty

As a celebrity ambassador for The Mary Kay Inspiring Stories collaborative film project, it was JoAnna Garcia-Swisher‘s inner beauty that compelled her to unveil the truth about domestic violence. “Domestic violence affects one in four women nationwide,” she tells PEOPLE during a break from filming. “The statistics are staggering; it chooses no race, color or gender.”

And like many women, Garcia-Swisher’s daily routine, which now includes Mary Kay’s “Beauty That Counts” lipsticks, runs the gamut from budget to must-have to aspirational. Crediting her youthful glow to Clinique’s All About Eyes serum ($26), (“I swear to god it’s like an eyelift”), she also admits to the occasional splurge. “It is my favorite scent,” she says of Clive Christian X perfume, which comes with a price tag of $335. “It is a little pricey,” she admits, “but I am so lucky to get to try all types of beauty products.”
