When Paul McCartney and Nancy Shevell exchanged vows in London on Sunday, Oct. 9, they were clad head to toe in creations by McCartney’s fashion designer daughter, Stella. But one wedding must-have Stella couldn’t provide? The eternity diamond band McCartney slipped on Shevell’s finger during the Town Hall ceremony.

In a vintage style and featuring 5 carats of square-cut diamonds set in platinum, the Neil Lane wedding band was meant to “complement her engagement ring, but not overshadow it,” the celebrity jeweler tells PEOPLE. “Nancy wanted a band with a vintage feel.” Indeed, the band and engagement ring — a 5-plus-carat, flawless diamond art-deco ring also by Lane — “work as a set,” he says. “Paul loved it!”

One Trend Three Ways: Leopard Print

Rarr! Some of our favorite stylistas have us seeing spots these days … but we’re totally okay with that. Reese Witherspoon, Kourtney Kardashian and Ashlee Simpson are just getting a jump on one of fall’s hottest trends: leopard print.

Witherspoon wore her printed dress to a recent benefit in Los Angeles, pairing the pretty frock with a classic black blazer and peep-toe booties — a subtle approach. Kardashian opted for a louder take, wearing wild tights with booties and a jumpsuit in New York. And Simpson, out in L.A., made her look optional: she could slip her faux fur Topshop coat off or keep it over her delicate white dress for added drama. Me-wow indeed! Tell us: Have you worn leopard print this season?

WOULD YOU WEAR THESE TRENDS?

Paul Walker Has a Scent-sual Memory

Apparently, staying cool is the key to living life in the fast lane.

Just ask Fast Five actor Paul Walker, the new face of Davidoff Cool Water, who’s been wearing the scent since middle school.

“Growing up, that was the cologne I wore,” he told PEOPLE at an event in Los Angeles recently. “That’s the one all the girls liked.”

While garnering the attention of the ladies was an added bonus, Walker said the best part of the fragrance is its subtlety. “My first passion is marine biology and I love being outdoors,” Walker shared. “The cologne is simple and almost something that you would find in nature.”

So if one wanted to finagle the forces of nature to grab Walker’s attention, how would she do it? Through scents, of course. “I was crazy about this girl for the longest time and she wore Red,” he recalled. “Even to this day, there’s certain associations. It’s hard not to notice when you’re walking through a crowd.”
