We’ll have what she’s having! Megan Fox looks downright gorgeous in her latest round of Armani Beauty ads, three visuals touting the latest offerings from the iconic designer.

The first photo (left) is a shot from the brand’s holiday campaign; the two below advertise the new Eyes to Kill Stretch Mascara (left) and the Designer Lift foundation (right). Fox posed for the photos in New York City this spring, around the time her Armani Code pictorial debuted.

“Mr. Armani is an iconic visionary for all things fashion,” Fox said last year, when she was named the face of the brand. “I’m honored to be associated with him and be part of this campaign.”

“[Megan] embodies the spirit of the women of today: free, confident and seductive,” Armani said in reply. “Her beautiful features reveal femininity, sensuality and strength.”

Fox has also served as a face of Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani underwear, along with Rafael Nadal and most recently, Rihanna.

Rachel Bilson Talks Boots and Bouquets on ‘Rachael Ray’

Style maven Rachel Bilson seems to have a solution for every fashion fiasco. She recently made it a lot easier to walk a mile in her shoes with her collaboration with ShoeMint.com, and shares style picks regularly as a Piperlime.com guest editor.

So when she stopped by the Rachael Ray Show earlier this week, naturally, the Hart of Dixie star was happy to share her fashion expertise:

How to find the best boot for your size:

“The mid-calf is definitely a safe go-to,” she told Ray. “The riding boot is definitely a great everyday thing and it looks good on anyone. You can tuck your jeans into it. It’s really easy. But same with … mid-calf; I think it works. So anywhere between the ankle and mid-calf would be good for the more petite.”

We know she loves the Frye boots she wore while filming Footloose, but it seems Julianne Hough is having a lot of fun with the accompanying red carpet fashion, too! While promoting the remake, which hits theaters Friday, the star has worn a variety of stylish looks that totally make us lose our blues.

For the Los Angeles premiere and after-party last week, Hough chose a flirty red shorts outfit by Tibi, paired with Ruthie Davis pumps. Days later, while promoting the film in Nashville — where she’s spent time on her country music career — the dancer chose a glimmering Monique Lhuillier dress, keeping her accessories simple. Then for Wednesday night’s New York premiere, Hough dared to bare her legs in a sleek Rachel Zoe Collection tuxedo dress and black pumps. We think Hough looked haute for all three events, but want to know what you think. Tell us: Which Footloose premiere look is your favorite?

She must be on Santa’s good list! Victoria’s Secret model Miranda Kerr has been chosen by the brand to model the iconic Fantasy Treasure Bra — a $2.5 million diamond-studded piece — in the Christmas Dreams & Fantasies catalogue and during the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show in November.

“It’s such an honor to wear the bra,” Kerr tells PEOPLE. “And it’s such a piece of artwork! It’s absolutely stunning — it kind of feels a little mermaid-like — but I can’t believe I’m wearing $2.5 million on my chest.”

The aqua push-up brassiere, created in part by Long Island’s London Jewelers, is handset with nearly 3,400 precious gems, including 142 carats of white and yellow diamonds, pearls, faceted citrines and aquamarines, all set in 18-karat white and yellow gold. The centerpiece features two white diamonds — each more than 8 carats — and two 14-plus-carat yellow diamonds.

Legendary Hollywood Designer Ray Aghayan Dies at 83

Ray Aghayan, whose unmistakable design touch was featured on such stars as Judy Garland, Lucille Ball and Lauren Bacall, died Monday at the age of 83, it has been confirmed to PEOPLE. Cause of death was not announced.

Born in Tehran, Iran, Aghayan moved to Los Angeles while in high school and first tried acting, directing and producing before turning to costumes. He was eventually successful in convincing the Television Academy to recognize costume design at the Emmys — and, in 1967, won the first-ever Emmy Award for Costume Design for Alice Through the Looking Glass, an honor he shared with his onetime assistant, Bob Mackie.

The two became life partners, and Mackie survives Aghayan.

Aghayan’s three Oscar nominations were for Gaily Gaily (1969), and, with Mackie, Lady Sings the Blues (1972), starring Diana Ross, and Funny Lady (1975), with Barbra Streisand, who wore 40 different costumes in the musical.
