Gwyneth Paltrow Named the Face of Boss Perfume

It’s been a busy week for the fragrance industry! Hot on the heels of Chanel No. 5′s Brad Pitt announcement, Gwyneth Paltrow has just been named the face of Boss Nuit Pour Femme.

The women’s fragrance, which will pre-launch in August before a global roll-out in September, is inspired by the sensuality and elegance of the classic little black dress, according to WWD. Paltrow’s personal style certainly fits that bill: “[She's] the perfect complement to Boss Fragrances,” Hugo Boss Fragrance global marketing director, Gerd Von Podewils, tells WWD.

“I was honored and very happy to be chosen as the face of Boss Nuit Pour Femme,” Paltrow adds. “To me, the Boss woman is driven, ambitious and goes after what she wants, but she balances being strong and very feminine at the same time — characteristics that I strive towards in my own life.”

Paltrow — who attended the Met Gala Monday — is currently in London promoting the fragrance.

Brad Pitt is keeping busy amidst all the wedding planning — the actor was just announced as the new face of Chanel No. 5. The French fashion house confirmed the news to PEOPLE earlier this morning.

The Academy Award-nominated star is reportedly shooting his first ad in London sometime this week, according to E! News.

It’s the first time in history that the house has chosen a man to represent the fragrance. Pitt joins the likes of Nicole Kidman, Vanessa Paradis, Audrey Tautou, Ali MacGraw and Lauren Hutton.

According to reports, Pitt will be paid seven figures for his work; his ad will be released overseas later this year.

When word got out that Angelina Jolie was wearing an engagement ring, most people’s first thought (after “Finally!”) was “Let’s see the ring!” And a first look confirms that it is, in fact, a stunner.

Jeweler Robert Procop, with whom Jolie designs her jewelry line Style of Jolie, announced that he had designed the sparkler with Jolie’s longtime love Brad Pitt (and Pitt’s rep confirmed the happy news).

“Brad had a specific vision for this ring, which he realized over a yearlong collaboration with Robert,” Procop’s team said in a statement. “He wanted every aspect of it to be perfect.”

How James Van Der Beek Stole Brad Pitt’s Style

Who knew that Dawson Leery had so much in common with Brad Pitt?

In a new interview with The Daily Beast, former Dawson’s Creek star James Van Der Beek talks about how he acquired his character’s signature season one look — on the night he auditioned for (and landed) the coveted role.

“I was rocking the pubescent Jesus look at the time,” the actor says, referencing his long hair and hemp necklaces. So during a late-night trip to the barbershop, “we started looking through Entertainment Weekly, which was on the counter,” Van Der Beek explains. “We found an ad for The Devil’s Own, the movie with Brad Pitt. [The crew] said, ‘What about Brad Pitt’s haircut?’ And that’s how I got my season one haircut.”

She’s a California Gurl with a heart-shaped dress — and a pretty big heart, too. Katy Perry is one of many stars joining forces with eBay for eBay.com/celebrity, a new portal where memorabilia-seekers can bid on amazing experiences and items, all to support a variety of worthy causes.

Perry, one of the first to pop up on eBay.com/celebrity, is auctioning a dress worn on her California Dreams tour: a red-and-pink Swarovski-studded cotton candy pouf, which she’ll give to the winner during a backstage meet-and-greet before her Nov. 21 concert in Oakland. (At press time, bidding was up to $8,100.) VIP tickets are included, too, and proceeds benefit the American Red Cross.

Additional items available now include works of art by Jeff Bridges (up to $2,250); a meeting with Brad Pitt (currently at $10,000); and Sienna Miller‘s snakeskin boots (more affordable at $256). Proceeds from each item will benefit a myriad of charities, including Pitt’s Make It Right and Share Our Strength — No Kid Hungry, an organization selected by Bridges. Christina Aguilera and Robert Duvall are next up, with offerings coming soon.
