Bar Refaeli vs. Gisele Bündchen: Whose Lingerie Ad is Hotter?

There’s not much to be said other than … hot. Bar Refaeli and Gisele Bündchen are two of the world’s most beautiful women, have both dated Leonardo DiCaprio — and are now each launching lingerie lines.

Bündchen’s Brazilian Intimates line, which she recently re-launched and helped design, features lace-tinged bras, panties and hosiery. Refaeli’s under.me is a bit more basic, offering bras, panties, tees and leggings for women, and tops and boxers for men.

Rachel Zoe ‘Spent a Lot of Nights Dreaming’ About Karolina Kurkova’s Met Dress

There was one dress everyone couldn’t stop talking about after the Met Gala: Karolina Kurkova‘s custom Rachel Zoe Collection gown. FabSugar caught up with the designer behind the gold confection, Rachel Zoe, who divulged how such a stunning creation came to be.

“I spent a lot of nights dreaming about what I wanted it to look like,” she said. Long sleeves, a very low back and a high neck were all musts for the dress, but the much-talked about headpiece was a last-minute addition.

“It happened literally the day before,” the stylist-turned-designer revealed. ”I thought, ‘What can I add to really take it to the next level?’ So we made the turban-slash-head-wrap to give it that deco-glamour that [Elsa] Schiaparelli was so known for.”

Although the turban was the perfect topper to the gorgeous gown, the woman wearing it brought the whole look together. “Obviously when you put something on Karolina, it’s even better because it’s on Karolina,” Zoe commented.

Does Kate Moss ever age? It sure doesn’t look like it in latest Harper’s Bazaar.

In the June/July issue of the fashion glossy, the supermodel frolics on the beaches of Jamaica showcasing hot new looks from some of the world’s most famous fashion houses. Photographer Terry Richardson snapped the photos on location.

Moss graces the cover (bottom) in a feathered Alexander McQueen frock, accentuated with slicked-back hair and a bright red pout.

Inside the magazine she wears a belted metal-mesh dress by Yves Saint Laurent (left, available by special order), which doubles as a swimsuit cover-up for the spread.

A second look (below) includes an affordable Calvin Klein Underwear bikini (bandeau top $24, bottoms $12) paired with a Calvin Klein Collection net-like black shirt. The ensemble is finished with a vintage fedora.

Other designers featured in the multi-page spread include Michael Kors, Versace, Tom Ford, Stella McCartney and more.

Chanel Iman is the latest star to bare her wardrobe to the Bluefly Closet Confessions team … but the supermodel doesn’t have much of a closet.

“I basically live in a suitcase and on an airplane,” she admits in the clip above. “I’m always on the road, I travel everywhere to shoot.” Though she doesn’t pack much when traveling for work, “when it’s time to go on a vacation I pack a lot of stuff,” she shares.

Coco Rocha Shares an Insider’s Perspective on the Met Gala

Coco RochaJohn Angelillo/Landov

Model Coco Rocha earned high marks for her gutsy outfit at Monday’s Met Gala — a sleek Givenchy pantsuit once worn by Elizabeth Taylor — and had a blast at the Ball!

Rocha shared her personal photos with PEOPLE, telling us all about the experience the morning after. Here are some highlights of her big night out, in her words:

Getting ready for the Met Gala was a team effort. At one point we had 12 people in the apartment! I usually do my own hair and makeup for events but for the Met Gala I pay out the big bucks. Everyone who is anyone is there so you want to put your best face forward.

Rocha pumped up her look with curly pink extensions, which were woven into her side ponytail.

When my hairstylist Nico brought the extensions I literally squealed, he had perfectly matched the pink in my vintage Givenchy suit. This was going to be quite the bold look. After about four hours of hair and makeup we realized that James, my husband, had a wrinkled dress shirt so I did some very last-minute ironing like the Suzy Homemaker I am.

Of all the events, I have to say the Met Gala red carpet is most daunting. You have cameras on both sides of you all the way up a red-carpeted staircase. If you turn to one side, the other side boos. You really can’t win.

Coco Rocha: How I Chose My Met Gala Outfit

When Elizabeth Taylor‘s jewels and couture were up for auction at Christie’s in December, model Coco Rocha knew she had to buy something.

“I’m a big Elizabeth Taylor fan: her pictures are iconic and when I was really young, I watched every single one of her movies,” the model, 23, tells PEOPLE. “I don’t get star-crazy, but if I ever had met Elizabeth Taylor, I probably would’ve choked.”

Though she had her eye on a few items at the Christie’s sale, the only outfit she was able to snag was a neon Givenchy pants suit with matching jacket — an ensemble she calls her “Aladdin suit” — which she’ll debut Monday night at the Met Gala in New York City.

“I went [to the auction] with a few other girls and all of us were getting these emails from our husbands saying, ‘You be good now!’ But [my husband] James [Conran] didn’t [send one],” she recalls. “I said I was the lucky one, and he was happy for me. This model does not buy designer stuff, but it was very special. I was like, ‘Yes, I must!’”
