Lily Aldridge’s debut clothing line for Velvet has gotten a lift — from some Angel wings.

The model’s collection of slinky dresses, casual tanks and lacy numbers has been spotted on two street style stars (and her fellow Victoria’s Secret models) Miranda Kerr and Alessandra Ambrosio.

Kerr (center) paired Aldridge’s “Ruby 12″ military-style jacket ($218.79 here) with a black mini and snake-print tank (hello, weekend outfit inspiration!)

Ambrosio got her Coachella on a little early in a $150 tie-dye maxi from Aldridge’s line, accessorizing it with a low-slung belt and her cute toddler.

And Aldridge herself got a little Angel-dust boost from the first piece she wore at the line’s launch, a sexy animal print mini she named after her pal, Victoria’s Secret star Erin Heatherton.

Why Kate Bosworth’s Coachella Outfits Are the Best at the Fest: She Was the Inspiration For Them

As expected, this weekend’s Coachella festival in Indio, Calif., featured plenty of celebrities dressed in their best music fest attire.

But one star outshone them all in her Coachella-appropriate eyelet shorts suit (with a Jennifer Fisher cuff) and embroidered vest: Kate Bosworth. And that’s because the star, already the queen of music festival fashion, had a hand in their design.

Bosworth, who starred in Topshop’s holiday ads, is also lending her input to the British fashion label’s upcoming Topshop Festival collection.

Since she served as muse and editor of sorts for the campaign, which will debut later this year and involve music, film and (of course) clothing, it only seemed fitting that she got to take the line for a spin before anyone else.

Though Topshop hasn’t set a date for the Festival collection, this sneak peek on Bosworth definitely has us excited to see the full line — and snap it up for next year’s Coachella.

Eva Mendes’s Worst Red Carpet Look Was ‘Princess Jasmine Gone Wrong’

Eva Mendes is one of the most reliably stylish stars on the red carpet these days, but she admits even she would like to burn certain outfits from her past.

“I really am the first one to laugh at myself and point out what a horrible fashion choice I made or point out an unflattering photo,” she says in an interview, noting in particular the 2007 Ghostrider premiere.

“I had my dress on but I had to finish my hair and makeup in the back of an SUV,” she continues. “It was a beautiful dress, but the way I put everything together, it was a Princess Jasmine gone wrong. The strapless, purple dress with necklaces and a hair in a really high braid. It’s not a good look.”

Nowadays, she rarely gets it wrong — which is why she’s the face of New York & Company (for which she’s also designing) and Vogue Eyewear. But that still doesn’t mean she feels pressure to look all done up every time she leaves the house.

“That’s a pressure I would never put on myself because I wouldn’t want other women to feel that pressure,” she says. “We all have our good days and our bad days … Usually when you see my hair up in [a] scarf it’s really not going for a look, it’s going for function because I didn’t have time to wash my hair.”

Kristin Cavallari has a lot on her plate these days. Somehow, between raising her baby, planning a wedding and designing jewelry and shoe lines, she found time to model her spring styles for Chinese Laundry — and then shared the photos with us.

Magazines (like PEOPLE StyleWatch) are all about the chic heels in Cavallari’s collection (in fact, the star tweeted about her appearance in the mag last week!) And Cavallari’s still getting used to seeing her designs in print.

“It’s the most amazing feeling!” she tells PEOPLE. “I couldn’t be happier that my shoes are being recognized.”

Those designs include party-ready pumps, pretty pastel numbers, and strappy, floral picks, all affordable. “The price point is really important to me,” she says. “It’s important for women to know that you don’t have to spend a fortune to look and feel great.”

Alicia Keys: Style Should Be Comfortable – Unless You’re Talking High Heels!

Alicia Keys has amassed an impressive (and expensive!) shoe collection since hitting it big, but she still has affection for the kicks she loved growing up: Reebok’s Freestyle sneakers, known to the N.Y.C. teen as “54-11s” for their after-tax price of $54.11.

That’s why the star was inspired to update the silhouette for her second collaboration with Reebok, though she added a wedge to dress the look up a bit.

“I want to wear them every day, not just because they’re mine,” she told PEOPLE at a launch event for the sneakers, “[but] because they look great and because they’re comfortable.”

Comfort is key for the on-the-go mom, who says she’s noticed her style change over the years. “Evolving and becoming a woman has really changed my style,” she said. “Style should be comfortable. You should feel great [when you] put it on – although some shoes I wear are not very comfortable. But my sneakers are!”

Also on the star’s style must list: flowy, silky pants from designers like Chloé and Stella McCartney, bright colors and pieces with “an androgynous feel.” That includes her “boy-girly” Reebok sneakers, which will be available on Reebok.com and Nordstrom.com starting April 1.

Tell us: Are you excited to check out Keys’s latest sneaker collection?

Heidi Klum On Her Oscars Dress: ‘I Did Actually Make it Very Modest’

Mar/18/2013 at 09:00 AM ET

When Heidi Klum arrived at Elton’s John’s Oscars party in that eye-popping plunging gold gown we thought that maybe her, um, assets accidentally busted open a seam (or five) on the way to the bash.

Well, it turns out that the Project Runway host, 39, actually had the Julien Macdonald dress altered to be less revealing. Yes, you read that right.

“You should have seen it before!” she told PEOPLE at a launch party for her spring New Balance pieces. ”I did actually make it very modest; it was all the way down to my belly button.”

Blame it on the supermodel’s killer cleavage, which she’s understandably proud of.

“To me it wasn’t even that risky,” Klum added. “Those are my boobs, you know? If they were like all the way down to my knees I would be like, ‘Okay, maybe that’s the wrong dress,’ but I felt like, Why not?”
