Victoria’s Secret Angels Bare Their Bikini Bodies for October’s ELLE

It looks like summer’s not quite over for some people! The ladies of Victoria’s Secret — Miranda Kerr (left), Chanel Iman, Adriana Lima (right) and Doutzen Kroes — are suiting up in some sexy swimwear for October’s ELLE magazine.

The issue, on newsstands Sept. 20, takes a few fashion cues from the 1980s and aims to capture the essence of the bombshell. “Any woman who has a positive attitude about herself and carries herself with class but doesn’t try too hard and say, ya know, ‘Hey, look at me, I’m a bombshell,’ is basically a bombshell,” Iman explains. “It’s just a woman with a positive, strong attitude who knows she has it going on.”

The models — who will hit the runway this fall in the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show — were shot on location in Los Angeles. Check out more hot shots at elle.com.

Vanessa Hudgens’s Styling Secret? Clip-In Hair Extensions

Vanessa Hudgens only chopped her hair in July, but already, she’s going long. The actress showed up inside the Moët & Chandon suite at the U.S. Open in New York on Monday sporting some surprisingly lengthy locks. So what gives?

“I do love my short hair, but sometimes you just want to change things up a bit,” she told InStyle.com. “Tonight, I wanted to go boho. Short hair wouldn’t really work with this hat, so I just pulled these [extensions] out of my bag and clipped them in.”

Easy enough! Hudgens debuted the dramatic, cropped hairstyle earlier this summer, part of her physical transformation for her role in the upcoming film Gimme Shelter. “It was a completely new person,” she told PEOPLE at the time. “I really did look like a boy.” Tell us: Do you prefer Hudgens with long or short hair?

Kate Bosworth on Designers: ‘Goodness Rises to the Top’

Though she has her pick of high-fashion items, Kate Bosworth has some guidelines when it comes to selecting her always-stylish looks: namely, siding with talented designers who are also pleasant people.

“I’ve always seen fashion as embracing the individual, although yes, I understand that there are parts of the industry that aren’t so welcoming,” she tells BlackBook magazine. “But I look at the Proenza Schouler boys … they’re so kind and they make such brilliant designs. The Rodarte sisters, too. It may be idealistic, but I like to think that goodness rises to the top.”

Bosworth’s stylist Cher Coulter must be pretty nice, then; one year ago, the longtime friends launched JewelMint, a subscription-based e-commerce site that curates earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets for shoppers based on their personal preferences, revealed in a style quiz. JewelMint is run by BeachMint, which also runs the Olsens’ StyleMint — a site that follows the same model with T-shirts — and on Oct. 1, will launch Jessica Simpson and aesthetician Nerida Joy’s BeautyMint, offering subscribers anti-aging skincare products.

Sneak Peek: ‘Rachel Zoe Project’ Premiere Addresses Business — and Brad

We’ve been going ba-na-nas waiting for season four of The Rachel Zoe Project to premiere — and the big night is finally near. Tuesday, we’ll be treated to all the glimmering gowns, sick shoes and designer drama that the celebrity stylist brings to the small screen.

And aside from dealing with pregnancy and a packed schedule, in the clip above, Zoe addresses an even bigger issue: her split from stylist Brad Goreski.

“After three years of working together, Brad sat Roger and I down and said, ‘I need to make a change. I want to be at home with my dog and my boyfriend, I want my personal life, I want to get out of the limelight,’” Zoe recalls. “And of course, within a week of us parting, when Brad went out on his own as a stylist he started to pursue our clients, starting going to all these events and doing all the things he said he had no interest in.”
