What’s On Adriana Lima’s Valentine’s Wish List?

Fresh off of her sexy Super Bowl commercials, Adriana Lima is gearing up for a romantic Valentine’s Day with husband Marko Jaric. But surprisingly, she’s not out looking for any gifts.

“It’s Valentine’s Day — shouldn’t guys be out shopping for us?” she jokes.

Lima is the face of Victoria’s Secret’s new, limited edition Bombshell in Love fragrance, a follow-up to the successful Bombshell scent and “passion in a bottle,” the supermodel says. The perfume — which has notes of pink grapefruit, Asian pear, purple freesia, sandalwood and cedarwood — is $49 for a bottle (and $25 for body mist).

But Lima is hoping for roses this Feb. 14 — and some sexy underthings, too. “Lingerie from Victoria’s Secret is the best gift to receive since it’s the sexiest present in the world,” she says. “I especially love the Body by Victoria Demi Bra and Hiphugger Panty … it comes in a heart print for Valentine’s Day, which is fun and flirty.”

Is Rihanna Channeling Taylor Momsen?

We all know Rihanna can Talk That Talk, but who knew she was a Gossip Girl too?

When the singer debuted a sneak peek at her new platinum do (which she’ll sport on an upcoming cover of ELLE), we couldn’t help but think of another towheaded trouble maker: Taylor Momsen.

With that chunky fringe and stained pout (not to mention that major ‘tude!), Rihanna is the spitting image of a good Upper East Sider gone bad.

The Real Reason Reese Witherspoon Cut Bangs

Pacific Coast News

Nearly 84 percent of StyleWatch readers said they love Reese Witherspoon‘s new bangs, but there’s a somewhat dark reason behind the star’s new hairstyle. During an interview with Graham Norton, airing Saturday night on BBC America, Witherspoon reveals details about her recent car accident — and the scar it left behind.

“I was jogging and I got hit by a car,” she shares. “They said I am very hard-headed because I landed right on my head and I have a scar, hence my new hairdo. I don’t remember much about it but miraculously and thank God, I am fine.”

Though she didn’t press charges against the driver, an 85-year-old woman, there were legal repercussions. “They took away her license and gave her a bus pass,” the actress explains.

Moving into lighter territory, Witherspoon — who stars in the upcoming romantic action comedy This Means War — reflects on her stellar 2011, which included her wedding to Jim Toth and a meeting with the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. “It was really fun,” the actress shares. “[Kate] was lovely and funny and she said some sweet girly things. I think she is handling herself so beautifully.”

Felicity Jones’s Dolce & Gabbana Lip Service

Though we’re still scratching our heads over the definition, ‘aristocratic sauvage girl,’ we think Felicity Jones’s newly revealed Dolce & Gabbana beauty ads certainly make an impact.

In the color-rich ads for the brand’s Khol collection ($20-$59), the up-and-comer looks every inch the Hollywood vet, sporting a perfectly smoky eye and deeply saturated gloss.

Check out a behind-the-scenes clip (below), in which the Like Crazy star says the ad marks her first time wearing a full-blown red lip. “[It's] a new direction for me,” she admits. “But with Pat McGrath’s incredible artistry, I’ve tried something slightly different.”

Bieber called: he wants his swoosh back! Though the pop star’s once-iconic hairstyle is no more, Juno star Olivia Thirlby is picking up where he left off, trading her long brunette locks for a feminine version of his cut. Popping up at the Sundance Film Festival in Park City, Utah, last week, the starlet showed off her new look, which references Bieber’s with its bowl-ish shape and sweeping bangs. She’s got the perfect face for a pixie, but we want to know what you think. Tell us: Are you loving Thirlby’s Bieber-esque haircut?

Emma Watson: I Am ‘Careful’ with Fashion

Emma Watson: My Style Is Boring

Despite her influential pixie and daring red carpet acumen, Emma Watson doesn’t consider herself glamorous.

“My problem is that I am a little bit boring,” she admits to French Elle. “I don’t wear designer bags or big sunglasses.”

And regardless of access to designer duds, the Harry Potter star’s downtime is underscored by a more casual approach to fashion: “When I don’t have to play Emma Watson in public, I’d rather not put myself out there,” she explains. “I have to be more careful with my look in my everyday life.”

But what about those ubiquitous Lancôme beauty ads? “Someone asked me why I accepted this job, as I wanted to stand in the shadows,” she says. “Actually, I gave up the idea that I could [ever] become anonymous again!”

WATCH: Kate Walsh Joins the High Rollers with Billionaire Boyfriend Fragrance

Forget that first ex-boyfriend — Kate Walsh is on to bigger and better guys. The Private Practice star is trading up with her new fragrance, Billionaire Boyfriend, the second in her “Boyfriend” series of scents.

“The idea was always luxe,” Walsh tells PEOPLE. “It’s kind of a throwback to times when things were just sexy and romantic, and that fantasy of James Bond movies, Monte Carlo, driving down the coast in a sports car … la dolce vita.”

The fragrance mixes feminine and masculine notes of black jasmine amber, fruits of bergamot, tangerine, orchid, gardenia and sandalwood to create a super-rich scent. “It’s yummy,” Walsh says. “For people familiar with the original Boyfriend, they’ll recognize it in the bottom notes, but with the additions of a big, bad floral.”
