Hot Mama: Jennifer Lopez Bares All for Her New Scent, Glowing

Jennifer Lopez‘s skin sure is glowing in her new fragrance ad — we know, because we can see it all. The sexy singer and American Idol judge strikes a daring pose — in the buff — for her new fragrance (her 18th!), Glowing.

“Glowing is such a clean fragrance,” she tells WWD of the scent, a follow-up to her first fragrance, Glow. “That’s what I’ve always been about. I like soapy, clean smells. This is a very woodsy scent. So it’s not exactly what I created 10 years ago — it’s the evolution of that.”

Describing Glowing as “earthy, clean and real,” Lopez says the fragrance is “kind of New York-y, darker and sexier.” It contains notes of cypress, orange flower, cassia flower, vanilla and cashmere musk, and as a special treat, the eau de parfum bottles light up for 15 seconds when spritzed. “We’re in the history making business, baby,” Lopez says, laughing.

Buzz: Lourdes Leon Shaves Her Head

Leave it to Madonna‘s daughter to try a cool new look! Lourdes Leon stepped out on her way to school in New York Thursday, sporting a funky new half-shaved do. The stylish 15-year-old — who’s had long dark hair forever — had her hair up in a bun, bringing extra attention to the edgy style.

Leon hasn’t made drastic changes to her hair before, though she’s toyed with the idea. “I want royal blue hair but not a streak, like my entire head,” the teen designer wrote on her blog in December of 2010.

But at the time, she wasn’t so sure she’d get away with the change. “I read this blog aloud to my mother,” she continued, “and she is sitting here staring at me with no expression on her face, as if she doesn’t approve of it!” Wonder if Madonna gave this cut the OK? Tell us: What do you think of Leon’s look?

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?

Roberto Cavalli Envisions Jennifer Lopez Wearing His ‘Aggressive’ Scent

When it came to partnering with Coty to create the ultimate perfume, Roberto Cavalli was primed for the challenge.

“I was waiting a long time to have such a special fragrance,” he told PEOPLE recently. “I spent a lot of time to create something that I really like.”

Sitting low in his chair, and surrounded by lanky employees with thick Italian accents, the storied designer detailed whittling the scent down to three key ingredients. “At the beginning they gave me a lot of small bottles and I didn’t know which one to choose because one was too sweet and the other one was too …” he trailed off. Clearly, creating a fragrance is hard work.

Comprised of a trifecta of harmonious scents — orange flower, roasted Tonka bean and peppercorn for a spicy note — the eponymous scent was created as a tongue-in-cheek homage to the designer’s late mother.

Arriving at QVC’s runway show in New York Wednesday night, Camila Alves seemed to have a little extra sparkle, in the form of a stunning three-stone sparkler on her finger. The handbag designer was out for the first time since her Christmas engagement to longtime love Matthew McConaughey, and put her gorgeous engagement ring on display for all to see.

“I am really enjoying being engaged right now … no wedding plans as of yet,” she told reporters. But speaking to PEOPLE earlier in the week, she was happy to dish on her fiancé’s sense of style. “Matthew has great taste,” she said. “He always has great opinions on what works and what doesn’t.” He even gives input on Alves’s handbag line, Muxo, which she designs with her mother. “We are one big family so we share everything — including opinions on the creations for the line.”

Alves’s latest collection, which she’ll present on QVC this Saturday, was inspired by her recent travels through Texas, Arkansas, New Orleans, California and New York. “We are really having fun mixing all of the inspirations from the various landscapes that we’ve been collecting for some time now,” she shared.

WATCH: Minka Kelly, Fashion’s Finest Hit the Catwalk for a Cause

If Minka Kelly was nervous about walking in Wednesday’s Heart Truth Red Dress Show at New York Fashion Week, she definitely wasn’t showing it. The actress hit the runway in a glimmering, custom creation by Diane von Furstenberg, and was met with cheers from the adoring crowd.

Kelly got involved with the annual show through sponsor Diet Coke, once the company asked her to be their celebrity ambassador. “Before I got involved I didn’t know that heart disease was the number-one killer of women,” she told PEOPLE exclusively (hear more in the clip above). “If I get one girl to go to the gym one day more often than she does … then I’ve done a good job.”

Wednesday marked the beginning of New York Fashion Week, but last week, one of the city’s biggest fashionistas was already out and about. Speaking to PEOPLE Thursday at Godiva’s 2012 Valentine’s Day event at the Andaz 5th Avenue in New York, Blake Lively showed off a stunning Valentino ensemble, pairing the chic getup with — you guessed it — Christian Louboutin shoes.

The Gossip Girl star is known for her love of Louboutins — the designer even helps her decide which of his shoes to wear sometimes — but her latest interaction with him really takes their relationship to a new level. “My gosh, [the spring collection] was sent to my house today, and they’re so beautiful,” she revealed. “They’re amazing. I walked around my apartment wearing them.”

Her favorites? “These cage, crystal-encrusted shoes and one with a feather detail coming off of it.”
