Fergie is continuing her foray into the glamorous life with yet another fab gig: the Black Eyed Peas frontwoman is the first-ever face of Wet n Wild. The brand announced the partnership on Friday; the singer will star in a series of campaigns beginning later this year.

“I’m someone who goes from light neutrals during the day to some really dramatic looks at night for the red carpet,” Fergie tells PEOPLE. “I love that I can find all of these colors with Wet n Wild. Plus, the company and I come from the same [California] hometown!”

In addition to serving as a brand ambassador, Fergie will launch some signature Wet n Wild products, too. “I think the brand is a realistic beauty buy for every woman out there,” she explains. “It’s beauty for all. It’s on-trend, it’s affordable and it’s easily accessible.”

The star will shoot her first campaign photos in March, and will wear Wet n Wild products to Sunday night’s Grammy Awards. “[Fergie's] versatility and range is perfectly aligned with Wet n Wild,” the company’s COO, Bill George, says in a release. “She has the unique ability to go from hip, edgy and sexy to red-carpet glamorous. We couldn’t be more thrilled to work with her.” Tell us: What do you think of Fergie partnering with Wet n Wild?

She didn’t win a wad of cash, but Fergie probably won some costume contests Monday night in her Toddlers & Tiaras getup, a bejeweled purple-and-pink dress — complete with matching tiara — that she wore to Heidi Klum‘s Halloween party in New York.

The costume, designed by Marco Marco, was inspired by the hit TV show, and came with a tiara, sash, glittering shoes and oversized plush pal. “It’s completely encrusted in Swarovski crystal, as are the shoes,” Marco tells PEOPLE. “The pink Teddy bear doubles as her purse. And the crown was customized to match the dress.”

Stylist Bea Ackerland conceived the idea with Fergie; the two then approached Marco to make the costume come to life. Luckily, he was happy to oblige. “Fergie is one of my favorite people to work with,” he shares.

Meanwhile, one of Toddlers & Tiaras‘s actual pageant subjects, tot Eden Wood, ditched her glamour gowns for the holiday and instead dressed up as a pirate. “Pirates are way cooler than anything else,” she tells PEOPLE, “and no one can arrrrg-ue about that.”

SEE THE BEST STAR HALLOWEEN COSTUMES OF 2011!

Leopard is one of fall’s hottest trends, but less-fearless fashionistas have been sneaking it in with bags and belts. Not so these stars, who have committed full-out to the trend, sporting it in style with Current/Elliott’s red-hot “Leopard Stiletto” jeans.

The skinny style, which retails for $198, comes in two washes, a camel and a faded gray, which render the bold-print neutral enough to pair with a variety of looks. From left, Sarah Jessica Parker wore hers with a satin trench to take in a performance; Isla Fisher added a pop of color with bright flats; Mandy Moore topped hers with a loose-fitting tank; and Katie Holmes hit a concert in hers wearing a Nantucket red boyfriend sweater.

Below, from left, Julianne Moore played up the rocker vibe on the set of her film What Maisie Knew; Fergie amped up the camel color with a Freddie Mercury tee and hot-orange vest; and Nicky Hilton dressed hers up for evening with a topknot and lace shirt.

We love that every stylish star put her own twist on the statement-making pants, but tell us: Which star rocked her Current/Elliott jeans best?

eBay is using its online auction powers for a good cause — a fashionable one, that is! The site is teaming up with various breast cancer organizations throughout October, featuring glam auction items from Fergie and other big stars during its eighth annual “Make it Pink” fundraiser.

Hosted by eBay Giving Works, eBay’s charitable arm, the event will allow shoppers to bid on different big-ticket items each week, such as the Christian Louboutin black suede lace-up boots and Marc Jacobs navy blue satin zipper dress worn by Fergie (above).

“Pink means something to many of us. You may have been touched by breast cancer,” the singer said in a statement. “I have, since both my mother and father are cancer survivors and I lost my grandmother to cancer three years ago. As a global ambassador for the Avon Foundation for Women, I am asking you to help make a difference for women, men and their families in the fight against breast cancer.”

Other items available in the high-profile auction include a New Year’s Eve VIP experience with Ryan Seacrest in N.Y.C. Not ready to open your wallet that wide? There are other ways to give, too: shop pink-branded goods on eBay now; donate any dollar amount using PayPal at checkout; or sell something on eBay and donate from one to 100 percent of the sale price to an organization.

Additionally, shoppers can visit eBay’s Facebook page throughout October to share a photo or short story explaining why breast cancer awareness is important to them. For every story shared, the auction site will donate one dollar (up to $20,000) to a nonprofit.

Breast cancer organizations benefiting from “Make it Pink” — which raised $242,000 last year — include the Avon Foundation for Women, Susan G. Komen for the Cure, Bright Pink and the American Cancer Society. To shop for the cause, visit ebay.com/pink.

SHOP STAR LOOKS FOR LESS

We already know they’re stars, but celebrities like Fergie, Lucy Liu and Olivia Wilde are reminding us of their sky-high statuses in celestially patterned dresses from Dolce & Gabbana’s fall 2011 collection.

Fergie, spotted at the Teen Choice Awards in Los Angeles on Sunday, shortened her black-and-yellow dress, which originally fell just past the knees. Liu sparkled in her frock, a high-hemmed number she paired with leggings. And Wilde kept her look totally runway, keeping it simple with black heels and straight hair.

The D&G collection, shown on the catwalk in Milan in February, includes tiger- and leopard-print looks and even dresses covered in musical notes. However, stars seem to be gravitating toward, well, the star-studded looks: Lily Allen, Jessica Alba and Rosario Dawson have been spotted in the intergalactic gowns, too. Tell us: Which twinkling dress is best?

Fergie wowed the crowd with a sexy new hair color this past week at the Billboard Music Awards — and now the singer tells PEOPLE why she decided to lighten up. “I wanted something fresh for summer,” she explained at the FiFi Fragrance Awards in New York City on Wednesday. “It’s so much fun to change the hair, play with it.” So will the star continue to lighten up? Time will tell. “I could even go more,” she said. “I feel very spring right now. It’s a sunny day in New York. I feel very happy.” Tell us: What do you think of Fergie’s new blonde hair? –Kim Peiffer, with reporting by Jeffrey Slonim

Fergie has gone back to blonde! The singer’s illuminating onstage getup (a dress designed by Philips Lighting in collaboration with her stylist B. Akerlund) wasn’t the only thing lighting up the Billboard Music awards — she also set off some shock waves before the show by debuting new light blonde hair. After months of rocking a darker color, Fergie walked the red carpet Sunday night with light blonde locks, but still kept her sexy edge by balancing the soft new hue with dark eyes and a peekaboo Hervé Léger by Max Azria Atelier dress. This isn’t the first time that the Avon face has played color chameleon. She also went blonde last fall, lightening up from almost black. We love how Fergie’s fearless about taking risks with her color, and think that this change might be her most flattering yet. Tell us: What do you think of Fergie as a blonde? –Kim Peiffer

Las Vegas might be known for playing up the glitz and glam, but for Sunday night’s Billboard Music Awards, it was all about the little black dress. Whether it was super sexy like Selena Gomez‘s cut-out Dolce & Gabbana gown or futuristic like Fergie‘s strap-heavy Hervé Léger by Max Azria Atelier mini, music’s heaviest hitters went for the classic color. Nicole Kidman added a sweet touch with her long lace dress and side braid, while Beyoncé embodied simple elegance in a Lanvin sheath with over 75 carats of Lorraine Schwartz diamonds! Lady Antebellum’s Hillary Scott skipped the country-favorite gowns for a sleek Mandalay dress with a semi-precious stone neckline.

Everyone made a style statement at Vogue‘s Met Costume Institute Gala in New York Monday night, but the best accessory of the evening? A hot guy in a tux! Many of Hollywood’s style stars stepped out with their husbands and boyfriends, who dutifully took a backseat as their leading ladies shined in designer gowns. Co-chair Colin Firth accompanied wife Livia, who wore an eco-friendly Stella McCartney jumpsuit and skirt. New parents Miranda Kerr and Orlando Bloom almost looked wedding-ready, she in a white Marchesa mini, he in black tie. Fergie, also in Marchesa, was enveloped in lace — and in the arms of her hubby, Josh Duhamel. Gisele Bündchen, in Alexander McQueen (the night’s honoree), stood tall next to her longhaired husband, Tom Brady. Ryan Seacrest and girlfriend Julianne Hough coordinated, both wearing Burberry. And Beyoncé, in Emilio Pucci, got some help walking up the stairs from white-tux-clad husband Jay-Z. We think they all looked fabulous, but want to know: who was your favorite?

Fergie‘s risk-taking ways are evident in her edgy ensembles — and that same ‘anything goes’ attitude often extends to her beauty choices. This time around, the singer chose to embrace the bright, bold eye shadow that’s going to be all the rage this summer. Though we’ll probably add a hint of a sheer blue or green to our lids for a subtle pop on those balmy June nights, Fergie — perhaps in an effort to match her neon dress — recently decided to go for a dramatic, opaque swathe of hot orange shadow above her eyes. The Black Eyed Peas frontwoman really stands out with this neon hue, but could it be too much for everyday wear? Tell us: Would you wear brightly colored eye shadow like Fergie?

Fergie is no stranger to the spotlight, so it makes sense she’d create a signature scent for those who want to be the center of attention. The star is preparing to launch Outspoken Intense by Fergie for Avon, an enchanting mix of floral and fruit that serves as the follow-up to her original fragrance, Outspoken. “I had so much fun developing and launching my first fragrance with Avon, so for my second fragrance, I really wanted add a little more edge,” she said in a release. “Outspoken Intense is a provocative blend of sexy confidence and daring femininity that captures the thrill and excitement of being center stage. You feel an instant electrifying rush — a feeling like no other.” The sweet and sexy scent boasts notes of blackberry, starfruit and luscious with an intoxicating mix of sensual musks and vibrant passion flower. The fragrance will be available in July 2011 for $30 exclusively at avon.com. Tell us: Will you buy Fergie’s new fragrance? –Kim Peiffer

Super-sheer fabrics, plunging necklines, micro-minis—we’ve seen all sorts of barely-there pieces pop up on daring celebs! And Fergie, no stranger to bold looks, added a new one to her eclectic, rocker mix while vacationing in St. Barts over the New Year’s holiday: a T-shirt filled with holes!

Who doesn’t love wearing leggings? Stretchy, comfy and versatile — they’re a winning style in any wardrobe. But what if you ditched your basic black for a wild pattern? Fergie did just that while vacationing in St. Barts with hunky husband Josh Duhamel over the New Year’s holiday. Sure, her vivid blue swirls make sense for a tropical island getaway, but we’d be willing to guess this adventurous singer would wear these bold bottoms just about anywhere. But could you say the same for yourself? Tell us: Would you wear patterned leggings like Fergie?

Fergie’s fashion choices are nothing short of edgy, with her sartorial tastes leaning toward the sharp and weapon-like with seriously high stilettos, barbed jewelry and dangerous clothing, in the case of one spike-adorned jacket she wore on the Black Eyed Peas’ last tour. And now it seems the songstress has extended her love of potentially injury-inducing fashion to her nails with these super pointy talons. While we’re a huge fan of the Black Eyed Peas frontwoman and her slightly scary spikes, we’re not so sure everyone will be able to pull off this bold nail shape as flawlessly as Fergie.

What does a girl with discount clothes and dreams of stardom have in common with a pop superstar with a designer wardrobe and handsome Hollywood husband? Plenty actually, if you’re Fergie. In the December issue of Glamour, the Black Eyed Peas frontwoman admits that though she now appreciates “all the perks that I get in this business,” she was not exposed to glamorous clothing as a kid. “Once in a while, my mother and I would go into this luxurious store, and I’d pick out one outfit that I could buy for myself. This is the girl who got hand-me-downs from the church. So it was the most special treat in the world.” And though these days, the Grammy-award winner is a far cry from secondhand wares, posing for celebrity photographer Martin Schoeller in a Sonia Rykiel dress, Christian Louboutin platforms and Neil Lane jewels, she has never lost that girlhood sense of modesty. While recently cleaning out her closet (a reaction to the TLC show Hoarders), she was wary to get rid of an old sweatshirt admitting, “Part of me was just holding on to things, thinking it was all going to go away.” For more on Fergie’s stance on love, life and admitted addiction (to self esteem!), visit Glamour.com. – Justine Harman

With a new scent on store shelves and her glamorous red-carpet looks consistently gracing the fashion pages, Fergie seems to have her signature style down–but that wasn’t always the case. “There are many pictures of me from high school and I had the spiral perm and I scrunched my hair,” she tells PEOPLE. “I would take two hours sometimes to do my hair before school, which is ridiculous. Teasing my bangs up to six inches high.” These days, the superstar is more confident in her fashion sense, staying true to what she loves, while still evolving her look. She even recently abandoned her ever-present eyebrow ring. “I’ve always been really into piercings,” she says. “[There] was a time that I really felt naked without the piercings. And, you know, it was time for a change.” One other major change in the star’s life? Her aptly named debut fragrance, Outspoken, with Avon. “I had to keep my big mouth shut for two years and every interview I just wanted to burst out and tell people about the updates and where it was going and what the notes were going to be and how I was changing it and I couldn’t say anything, so that was ironic.” Now Fergie can be as outspoken as she’d like about the new scent, as it currently rolls into stores around the country. –Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester, reporting by Jackie Fields
