Jean-Paul Gaultier Launches a Lingerie Line

French designer Jean-Paul Gaultier has dressed some of Hollywood’s most fashionable faces, and more recently, the stars’ stylish kids through the launch of his children’s line.

But now, the designer is dabbling into the world of underthings with a provocative lingerie collection created for La Perla. The partnership between the two “was bound to happen,” Gaultier tells Wedding Style Magazine of his collaboration with the Italian lingerie house. “Lingerie is part of my DNA: I have always used it in my collections. With La Perla, I have found a perfect partner.”

The pieces — from Madonna-inspired pointed cup bras to curve-hugging slips — were created to make a powerful statement for women. “I would like to give women freedom to be who they are,” he says. “I personally think women are the stronger sex; that they are more intelligent and much stronger than us men, and I always wanted to show a strong woman who seduces because she wants to.”

“There’s nothing better than having sexy lingerie under your beautiful [bridal] gown,” declares model Lily Aldridge. “And having it for later on in the evening.” Such is the thinking behind Victoria’s Secret’s new bridal collection, “Sexy Little Bride,” fronted by the 25-year-old Angel. Being named the face of the line couldn’t have come at a better time for Aldridge, who gushes, “I’ll be a bride soon!” In fact, the model is set to wed Kings of Leon frontman Caleb Followill, 29, who proposed in September. In the lingerie campaign, Aldridge models the delicate “Balconet” push-up bra ($37-$40), along with the matching panty set, garter and garter belt. The collection also features the crystal-embellished satin “Bride Kimono,” used to stay covered up while getting glam, and the “So Curvaceous Bridal Slip” ($58), which helps define your figure and gives your backside a lift. For the bachelorette party, there’s the bow- and crystal-embellished bridal babydoll ($68) and a bridal hoodie ($78). “Every kind of bride can find what they’re looking for,” says Aldridge of the collection. “I do!” See her model more looks from the line in the clip below, and shop the line for yourself at victoriassecret.com. –Jessica Herndon

Michelle Williams Enjoyed Going Commando for ‘Meek’s Cutoff’

Michelle Williams may be known for her demure red carpet looks, but it turns out that she found a risqué perk to her most recent costumes. Williams and her costar Zoe Kazan admitted to keeping it quite breezy under their full prairie skirts while filming Meek’s Cutoff. “You can wear no underpants and just squat and pee and that’s really useful,” Kazan quipped to StyleList.com at the film’s New York City premiere. “It’s something that’s a luxury that’s only ever afforded to a man,” Williams explained. “I relished in that for a moment.” And though the dresses took some getting used to — “It felt like an ordeal to learn how to move in them and move in them comfortably,” says Williams — ultimately the actresses ended up enjoying them. “After a while, both Zoe and I came to miss them,” she admits. But not enough to bring them into her patented cool wardrobe. “We talked about it once the movie was over — if we could bring back prairie skirts or rock a bonnet. But so far, I haven’t seen either of us doing that,” says Williams. Read more from Williams at StyleList.com. –Justine Harman

Adriana Lima Wants to Get Engaged Again for Valentine’s Day

Valentine’s Day is more than just a Hallmark occasion for Adriana Lima, whose anniversary with NBA star husband Marko Jaric is February 14. The new mom shared with PEOPLE recently just how she keeps the holiday special—and seriously sexy! Instead of grand gestures, the Victoria’s Secret Angel prefers to focus on the intimate details, confessing that the sexiest fragrance is, “the scent of skin” and that music by composer Michael Galasso gets her in a romantic mood. While good lingerie is paramount (she likes the Victoria’s Secret Love Balconet push up bra paired with a black lace thong), Lima is less interested in her outfit, explaining, “What’s worn on top is not important, since it won’t be on for long.” But regardless of racy rationalizations, the star is still a traditionalist. “I would love my husband to propose to marry me again,” she admits, “With a ring and everything.” And the age-old rivalry of flowers versus candy? Settled. “Both,” she says. “For me, flowers and candies should always go together.” We love a woman who knows what she wants. Check out all the Valentine’s Day offerings at victoriassecret.com. –Justine Harman, with reporting by Melissa Liebling-Goldberg

Elisabetta Canalis Makes a Sexy Return to Roberto Cavalli Underwear Ads

Elisabetta Canalis Roberto Cavalli Underwear Courtesy of Cavalli

By George, she’s got it! Elisabetta Canalis is once again burning up the scene with some racy Roberto Cavalli Underwear ads –- the second consecutive campaign for the Italian model and television presenter, who is also enviously known around the world as George Clooney‘s girlfriend. Shot by photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott, the ads feature Canalis in a seductive georgette push-up bra and culottes from the “tiger print” series, an iconic print from the spring/summer 2011 collection. “For my new underwear collection I chose Elisabetta again… my ideal of a woman: charm, charisma and sensuality, united together,” Roberto Cavalli says in a statement. “With her Mediterranean beauty and intense gaze she’s interpreted an intriguing and super-feminine woman.” We bet we know at least one other person who agrees! But we want to know what you think. Tell us: What do you think of Elisabetta’s new ads for Cavalli? – Hana Choi
