It seems that thigh’s the limit these days! In a span of 24 hours, at three very different fêtes, Carrie Underwood, Angelina Jolie and Victoria Beckham dared to bare in the same revealing silhouette. Playing by the rules in Sin City, the country singer flashed her sinewy gams in a scarlet red beaded Edition by Georges Chakra gown, Coomi earrings and a metallic clutch and heels by Rene Caovilla at Monday’s American Country Awards. That same night in N.Y.C., Angelina flashed some leg in a winter white Atelier Versace wrap dress that highlighted her limbs and ample décolletage. The following evening, across the pond, Designer Brand of the Year nominee, Beckham, left little to the imagination in a slitted kimono gown of her design at the British Fashion Awards. We say, if you’ve got it flaunt it, but we want to know what you think! Tell us: What’s your take on Hollywood’s latest hem-raising trend? – Justine Harman

EXCLUSIVE VIDEO: Carrie Underwood Shares Her Secret to Great Skin

Being named Olay’s first North American celebrity ambassador isn’t a title Carrie Underwood is taking lightly. Just before the big announcement, we sat down with the country superstar to get her thoughts on her new beauty role and more. “It’s such a great partnership because it’s something I have been using for at least a decade now,” she tells PEOPLE in this exclusive video interview. And while Carrie admits it’s hard to pick just one product from the brand, she does reveal that she can’t live without Olay’s Daily Facial Cleansing Cloths. “At the end of the day, no matter what I’m doing–whether it’s a photo shoot or being on stage–I’m sweaty and have makeup caked all over and it gets all the gunk off,” she says. As for her secret to great skin? “Mainly to pay attention because there’s no magic formula. I feel like everyone has to go out and try things for themselves because my skin is not like your skin and your skin is not like her skin,” she says. To hear more from Carrie on her new partnership with Olay as well as her plans for the upcoming Country Music Awards, which she will co-host in November, watch this exclusive interview. –Andrea DeSimone

Carrie Underwood’s Wedding Day Beauty Tricks

Carrie Underwood’s summer wedding in Georgia called for some creative moves to keep the bride looking cool, says Underwood’s make-up artist Melissa Schleicher. “It was really, really hot and it was raining around 4 o’clock, just before the wedding, so I had to think of the humidity,” she says. “The hair was a concern so I did kind of an updo. I just it curled it all over and just pieced it up and pinned it with bobby pins all over, real simple.” The wedding day do was created on the spot, she says. “We didn’t practice before the wedding or anything – we’ve done so many award shows and so many hairstyles, so she just lets me do what I do.” One element of her look that did require a bit of homework, however, was Carrie’s lush set of false eyelashes. The “very full lash that can be dramatic or natural” was created specially for her by Schleicher and Stephen Moleski of Smoke and Mirrors Beauty, whose lashes are “easy to put on and undetectable,” she says. Want to try out Carrie’s look yourself? The limited edition “Heart” lash, based on Underwood’s custom design will soon available for sale on Molesky’s web site.

She may not still be rocking her custom Monique Lhuiller gown, but there was no mistaking Carrie Underwood’s honeymoon glow as she hit the Today show stage Friday morning to not only perform hits like “Undo It” and “Cowboy Casanova”, but also flaunt her sparkling new wedding band. After tying the knot with hockey player Mike Fisher, 30, in a Southern style wedding earlier this month, Underwood has swapped a diamond band by jeweler Jonathon Arndt for the yellow diamond engagement ring he had also designed for her. So how’s married life treating the country queen? “It’s a lot like dating life,” she said, which includes continuing their long distance relationship with hockey player husband Fisher in Canada, where he plays for the Ottawa Senators. “It’s good,” she says. “We’re both very busy people and understand each other’s life, so we’re okay with it.” –– Alison Schwartz
