There’s no limit to the number of charities celebrities seem to support, but at the moment, many are taking a stand for OrphanAid Africa, a charity championed by Rachel Roy. The designer recently created a handbag — the Rachel Roy OrphanAid Ghana clutch — designed to raise awareness about the non-profit and honor the West African nation at the same time.

“Clutches are one of my favorite shapes of handbags to carry, and when I work on product to sell for charities I want to create something that is refined, effortless and beautiful to look at … like the children that inspired the effort,” she explains to PEOPLE.

The colors in the bag — which retails for $49 — are taken from the country’s flag and washed “for a softer effect,” Roy explains. “The fabric is natural and raw; love the balance of the two.”

Sofia Vergara: All Women Should Have Beautiful Lingerie

“It’s so hard to find sexy intimates at an affordable price,” Sofia Vergara laments to PEOPLE. “All women should be able to get beautiful, comfortable intimates.” Thankfully, now they can: the actress is adding sexy, lacey bras and panties to her successful Sofia by Sofia Vergara line at Kmart. Problem solved!

The star’s intimates line includes three bras and three panties in a mix of red, purple, pink, black and animal print. “Honestly I love the entire collection,” she shares. “But if I had to pick a favorite … it would be the animal-print bra because I love prints, even underneath my outfits.”

Vergara thinks sexy undergarments “set the tone” for the rest of a woman’s outfit; therefore, they should always be special. “I think every woman should start by putting on a beautiful bra and panty,” she shares. “It doesn’t even have to be lingerie.”

New mom. Same old irrepressible glamour.

Beyoncé gave birth to her daughter Blue Ivy only a month ago. But in her first two nights out on the town, she’s picked up right where she left off — as one of the world’s most gorgeous and stylish women.

On Monday, she turned heads at husband Jay-Z’s Carnegie Hall concert in a hip-hugging Alice by Temperley dress and a pair of Christian Louboutins. Then on Tuesday, for Jay’s encore show, she sported a sexy, skintight black sequin cocktail dress by Monique Lhuillier.

She looked ravishing in both dresses. But tell us, which was your favorite look?

FIRST LOOK: Eddie Cibrian Goes Nearly Nude for Charisma

You’ve had him in bed — and now you can play with him in the pool. Eddie Cibrian is stripping down (again!) for Charisma, modeling the brand’s soft towels in the sexy spring 2012 ads, shot at a private residence in Los Angeles.

Though Cibrian — divorced from Real Housewives of Beverly Hills star Brandi Glanville and now married to country singer LeAnn Rimes — knows lots of ladies enjoy looking at his shirtless pictures, he seems to keep the modeling job in perspective.

“You have a lot of people on the photo shoot looking at you, going, ‘Oh that looks wonderful, that’s unbelievable … those [towels] look great,’” he told PEOPLE in September. “I realized it was all about the product, and not about me.”

Still, Cibrian — who appears in the upcoming Tyler Perry film Good Deeds – makes it hard to focus on those towels when he looks so good drying off with them!

Model Chrissy Teigen has had more than her share of painful razor cuts. “I go very fast, I’m often shaving on the go,” she tells PEOPLE. “I shave twice a day — I have dark hair, I have to — and I’m doing it so often that I want to feel smooth, not dry.”

Though she’s been guilty of using men’s razors — stealing her dad’s blades when she was younger, and swiping fiancé John Legend‘s Gillettes from time to time — the Sports Illustrated stunner is now enjoying smoother, softer shaves thanks to the new Venus & Olay razor, the official razor of SI‘s upcoming Swimsuit Issue.

“It’s the first beauty partnership for SI,” Teigen explains. “We’re constantly thrown different beauty products and things people want us to take photos with, but it’s not fun unless it’s something you really believe in.” As part of the partnership, Teigen will star in upcoming beauty-related websiodes on si.com in conjunction with the Swimsuit Issue’s release.

Jennifer Aniston: I Need to Stop ‘Playing it Safe’ on the Red Carpet

With those sculpted limbs, an army of LBDs and gleaming locks, Jennifer Aniston is timeless — and logic defying.

“I don’t feel my age,” she says in the March issue of InStyle. “I feel young every day. It’s in the spirit.”

Crediting cardio, a balanced diet and an arsenal of must-have products for her looks, the Wanderlust star confesses she is a creature of habit. “On the red carpet, it’s time for me to start doing something different,” she says. “I play it very safe because I just want to be comfortable … if I could wear a jersey tank that went down to the floor, I would.”

The natural brunette is also considering ditching the golden hue that has become her trademark. “I’ve been thinking about dyeing my hair a dark brown,” she says. “I feel it would be healthier.”

Booked: Michelle Williams for Band of Outsiders

She may be in the midst of an Oscar campaign, but in Boy. by Band of Outsiders’ newest Polaroid campaign, Michelle Williams looks ready to quit her day job.

It’s her second turn modeling for the brand, and this time around, the My Week with Marilyn star plays an unruly office assistant: pulling pranks, filing reports and halfheartedly performing due diligence before taking a lunch break.

Despite the shoot’s location — a Hollywood cemetery! — Williams happily hams it up it in the brand’s floral spring/summer collection.

It seems designer Scott Sternberg has a knack for taking stars out of their natural habitat: previous campaigns depict Kirsten Dunst as a zookeeper, James Marsden as a mailman and Rupert Grint as a hard-partying gambler. Tell us: What do you think of Williams’s cool campaign photos?
