As a Victoria’s Secret Angel, Miranda Kerr is a pro at showing skin, but she’s not so used to calling the shots. However, the model mom found herself in the designer driver’s seat recently, directing for the latest rag & bone DIY campaign — a series in which the models shoot their own images.

To capture her photos, Kerr turned called upon two famous faces: fellow Angel Lily Aldridge, who took pictures of her pal in New York (below) and husband Orlando Bloom, who shot images during a family vacation in New Zealand. The photos feature Kerr wearing the “Kensington” skinny jeans, the basic tee in poppy and the round-neck tee in heather gray, plus other pieces by the brand.

The Secret Behind Kate Bosworth’s Effortlessly Chic Style

Sure she’s known for her spot-on fashion choices, but how does Kate Bosworth always manage to look so polished? Just ask her stylist and longtime friend, Cher Coulter.

“She’s got this effortless approach to style, and never overdoes it,” Coulter tells PEOPLE of the actress. “She’s also fun and fashionable and willing to take risks. She’s simple, chic and always looks happy in what she’s wearing.”

Naturally, Bosworth stays up on the latest trends, but surprisingly comfort plays a part in her daily outfit selection, too. “We like to get creative with current trends, but Kate has to feel good and comfortable,” says Coulter, who partnered with the actress to launch JewelMint, a subscription-based site that curates earrings, rings, necklaces and bracelets for shoppers based on their personal preferences. And that’s one reason the jeans queen can always be seen rocking denim.

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.

Battle of the Vamps: Robert Pattinson Wants to Create a Clothing Line, Says Kellan Lutz

Twilight hunk Kellan Lutz is expanding his resume with design and modeling gigs for Abbot + Main, but the actor says that being in touch with his fashionable side doesn’t make him any less of a man.

“I think a strong, masculine guy can have soft qualities as well,” he told PEOPLE recently at the WWE and Creative Coalition’s Be a STAR event in L.A. “My line is not the girly-girl line. It’s a comfortable line for guys, and that’s how I live my life. I want to be comfortable. I can still be tough. I can still run.”

To find inspiration for the collection, which hits Nordstrom stores soon, Lutz went straight to his own closet. “Every decision came through me,” he said. “All of the designs, we raided my closet, stuff like that. I know exactly what kinds of comfortable clothes I like, so it’s all about the fine linens, knits, tops.”

Audrina Patridge caused jaws everywhere to drop when she unveiled her sexy, larger-than-life billboard on Sunset Boulevard in Hollywood, but the Audrina star and sultry face of Bongo says her ads for fall continue to raise the heat index. “This new campaign was a little more edgy and flirty, every season there is definitely something that sets it apart from other brands,” she tells PEOPLE. “The lighting was a bit darker than usual — it was more flirty and moody this time around.” The on-set emotions are reflected in the line’s fall collection, which features sleek outfits the reality star can’t wait to get her hands on. “I’m loving the animal prints and of course the denim jeans along with the embellished details,” she says. “I always buy a great new pair of boots and Bongo has amazing jeans for fall that I love. Can’t wait to start shopping!” The new campaign, debuting in August, will also feature Patridge in her first-ever television commercial for the brand.
