Rachel Zoe Totes a Lotta Luggage to Paris

We certainly hope her checked bag fees were waived! Stylist Rachel Zoe Tweeted a photo of her luggage the other day, and we’re just glad she found a cart big enough to carry it all.

“Final stop..Paris via Eurostar train,” she wrote, as her husband Rodger Berman hid behind her 11 Longchamp and two Louis Vuitton bags. “@rbermanus is hating me right now.”

To be fair, Zoe has had quite the European vacation: she spent time at London Fashion Week before heading to the City of Light. Plus, she has a 6-month-old baby now — the little guy alone must require two bags! And before her jaunt across the pond, she showed her collection for the very first time at New York Fashion Week, a task she was “terrified” to tackle. So considering the size of her closet, we’re not so surprised at her luggage load. We’re just happy our goods fit in one carry on.

OOPS! STARS’ WARDROBE MALFUNCTIONS

David Beckham Brings ‘Masculine Freshness’ with New Fragrance, Homme

In the TV ad for David Beckham‘s new men’s fragrance, Homme, the svelte soccer star runs from one end of a building to the other — while shirtless! — then dives into his fragrance bottle. But the idea of drenching himself in a scent is not the message behind the ad; in fact, Beckham believes in just the opposite.

“Women don’t like to smell a man before he enters a room,” he tells PEOPLE. “Women” meaning wife Victoria; Beckham says he designed the fragrance with his lady’s preferences in mind, as the scent is “something that she has to put up with being on me.”

With the bottle displaying Beckham’s new signature logo, Homme — which Beckham explains he wanted “to bring a masculine freshness” to the fragrance world — mixes citrus, wood and fiery pepper in a subtle fashion approved by Beckham’s team of experts: his sons. “I tried and tested it on my boys,” he says. “That’s the good thing about having three boys, they are so honest and they said it was amazing.”

Get the Look: Brooke Charvet’s ‘Dancing with the Stars’ Updo

With her flawless figure poured into a black one-shoulder crepe gown from Edition by Georges Chakra Monday night, Brooke Charvet glowed on the ballroom floor during Dancing with the Stars. But it wasn’t just the crystal-studded dress that turned heads; her hair, pinned neatly in an updo, was quite stunning, too.

So just like last week, we asked the stylists at Hotheads how to achieve her look at home. Just follow these steps from stylist Sheenon Olson:

1. Set the hair with a 1-in. curling iron, starting at the top and pinning the curls up as you go. For the super-shiny look that Charvet has, spray each section with lacquer right before heating it with the curling iron. Let curls set for at least 10 minutes before taking them down.

2. Charvet had her updo high on her crown. To get the best results, section the hair from ear to ear, then make one ponytail with the front section. Take the other section and include into the first ponytail (which acts as an anchor). This technique makes it easier to get a tight ponytail.

“It’s a spark, a connection, a rush of something new,” Taylor Swift says in a teaser clip for her new fragrance, Wonderstruck. Due on shelves this October, the scent is sparking a lot of buzz — and the full-length commercial, which debuts Wednesday night during the X Factor at 8 p.m. ET on FOX, will likely get fans even more excited.

The clip features a mystery man, an elegant mansion and even a carousel, and of course Swift, who glides quietly around all of it in a Christian Siriano gown. “Once you’ve been struck, you’ll never be the same again,” she shares, as her song “Enchanted” plays in the background. In our exclusive behind-the-scenes photo (above), Swift gets ready for the shoot, receiving a touch-up on her ruby-red lips.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley: Naked to Camera-Ready in Two Hours, Tops

Model-actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is one busy girl — glamming it up for Burberry Body and taking time to shoot ads with Ryan Reynolds, to name a few key tasks — so not surprisingly, she has “a pretty tight beauty regime,” she tells PEOPLE.

Her first secret? She doesn’t go overboard with product. “I don’t like to be worn by makeup or worn by clothes,” she shares. “It’s all about enhancing what you have. I want to feel as close to my natural self as I can at all times. So, unless I’m doing a crazy photo shoot, I want to feel like myself.”

To that end, you’ll rarely find the star wearing lipstick when she’s not in front of the camera. “It’s not my favorite piece of makeup,” she admits. “I don’t [put] anything on my lips … I think it can get a bit much.”

While she is naturally gorgeous, Huntington-Whiteley does require some upkeep. For instance, she’s serious about grooming her eyebrows. “It’s one thing that I always pay close attention to,” she says. And proper haircare is a must. “If you can’t afford to maintain your hair, don’t dye it,” she states.
