Arriving at QVC’s runway show in New York Wednesday night, Camila Alves seemed to have a little extra sparkle, in the form of a stunning three-stone sparkler on her finger. The handbag designer was out for the first time since her Christmas engagement to longtime love Matthew McConaughey, and put her gorgeous engagement ring on display for all to see.

“I am really enjoying being engaged right now … no wedding plans as of yet,” she told reporters. But speaking to PEOPLE earlier in the week, she was happy to dish on her fiancé’s sense of style. “Matthew has great taste,” she said. “He always has great opinions on what works and what doesn’t.” He even gives input on Alves’s handbag line, Muxo, which she designs with her mother. “We are one big family so we share everything — including opinions on the creations for the line.”

Alves’s latest collection, which she’ll present on QVC this Saturday, was inspired by her recent travels through Texas, Arkansas, New Orleans, California and New York. “We are really having fun mixing all of the inspirations from the various landscapes that we’ve been collecting for some time now,” she shared.

From blushing bride-to-be to mega-watt model, Anne Hathaway is wearing many hats lately! The actress brings her best face to the TOD’s Signature Collection spring campaign, promoting a line of Italian bags and small leather goods that hit TOD’s boutiques in October.

Shot in London last year by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott (they did her fall campaign, too), the ads will bow in the weeks ahead, appearing in fashion magazines worldwide. “The campaign for TOD’s Signature reaches out to a new and younger clientele,” creative director Fabien Baron said in a release, adding that Hathaway was the right woman for the job. “We see a stunningly exquisite Anne as a classic beauty with a modern Italian edge — feminine and strong.”

Stacy Keibler’s Holiday Must-Have? A ‘Really Great’ LBD

From flowing floor-length gowns to shimmery frocks with plunging necklines, Stacy Keibler‘s red carpet looks have been talked about almost as much as her new relationship. So what are her fashion rules when it comes to supporting boyfriend George Clooney at star-studded events?

“There are certain dresses that are more appropriate to wear,” she tells PEOPLE. “It’s so fun to wear a long dress to a premiere because there aren’t that many chances [to do that]. I really love to do that.”

But just because she’s a supportive girlfriend doesn’t mean she doesn’t also enjoy dressing up for herself. “When I’m by myself, I can do whatever I want,” Keibler explains. “I can play with my style a little bit more and be a little bit more funky.”

However, her holiday must-have is not so funky; it’s “a really great black dress,” she says. “You can change your lip, add a blazer or a fancy sequin jacket, change your shoe or change your bag. You can use it a couple times.”

Rebecca Romijn ‘Likes Her New York Fashion’

She’s a California girl, but with husband Jerry O’Connell starring in Broadway’s Seminar right now, Rebecca Romijn is swapping her sundresses for snow boots while living in New York. “Rebecca’s got her coats out,” O’Connell told PEOPLE last week. “She’s got her boots out. You can’t be wearing flip-flops in this city.”

But the actor says his wife is just fine with the change. “She likes her New York fashion. It’s a lot different than California.” In fact, he’s hoping the east coast look rubs off on twin daughters Dolly and Charlie, almost 3, too. “I grew up in New York City and I want my girls to have that New York edge,” he said. “I want them to be cool city girls.”

Creating handbags seemed like a logical step for jewelry designer Matthew Campbell Laurenza, whose MCL accessories have been seen on Julianne Hough, Kristin Cavallari and Carrie Underwood. So when the opportunity arose, Laurenza made two collections for spring — “Gold Crest” and “Purple Crest” — available starting Friday exclusively on Gilt.com.

“I consider bags to be a very important staple in a well-dressed woman’s wardrobe, and believe that they should be precious whether literally or figuratively,” Laurenza tells PEOPLE. “Since I had the means to literally make them precious, I chose to.”

‘Clutch Confidential’: DVF and Laura Linney Focus on Fall Bags

Diane von Furstenberg is one of the fashion world’s most treasured designers, and stars love her, too (we’re talking to you, Kate and Katherine!). In fact, some celebs like her so much they’re willing to dish on their most personal items — their handbags — in a new series on her Inside DVF blog, Clutch Confidential.

Because we happen to adore DVF, celebrities and all things style, too, from time to time we’ll be bringing you sneak peeks at Clutch Confidential‘s subjects and the goods inside the handbags they love. This week, Inside DVF continues its new accessories feature with actress Laura Linney. Here, the Big C star reveals her fall bag secrets:

Inside DVF: What do you look for in a bag?
Laura Linney: I’m a lugger … so I need a bag that is big enough to carry all my stuff while, at the same time, it doesn’t resemble a suitcase.

Inside DVF: What do you always keep in your bag no matter what?
LL: Well other than the basics: keys, phone, etc. I always have a makeup bag with a few lip glosses and mascara, and a bag of “in case” stuff — blister blockers, headache medicine, a Tide stick, breath mints, Band-Aids. And SUNSCREEN!
