<p class="txtcont">Well, her boyfriend Russell Brand loved them. Now, lusty fans can have some too. <a href="http://www.people.com/people/katy_perry">Katy Perry&#8217;s</a> <a href="http://www.people.com/people/article/0,,20318109,00.html">soccer-themed lingerie</a>, that is!  Brand&#8217;s favorite soccer club, West Ham United, provided three shirts for 25-year-old Perry&#8217;s stylists to fashion into skimpy stagewear for her turn hosting the MTV Europe Music Awards earlier this month.  And after the pictures raised eyebrows for her boyfriend, as well as admirers around the world, the club in East London has decided to make a limited number themselves.  Initially, 50 sets priced at around $480 each will be made on a pre-order basis only. (If placed before November 20, they will be ready for Christmas and they are ordered before the end of next month, they will be perfectly timed for a Valentine&#8217;s Day surprise, the club says.)  Perry&#8217;s get-up was the <a href="http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2009/11/10/the-scoop-on-katy-perrys-racy-on-stage-surprise-for-russell-brand/">brainchild</a> of freelance celebrity stylist and costume designer Siobhan Dillon. She told the <a href="http://www.whufc.com/articles/dressed-for-success-20091117_2236884_1873915" target="_blank">West Ham United website</a> Wednesday, &#8220;I thought it would be cool to try and make the shirt as football-oriented as possible.  &#8220;So, I used the collars along the top of the brassiere and used the two badges on the front. I had a team of three girls working with me on the outfit. It was made entirely from the three shirts, but we had to take the Airtex out and replace it with some lining.&#8221; Contact West Ham United for your own set <a href="http://www.whufc.com/page/ContactUs/0,,12562,00.html">here</a>. &#8212; Simon Perry</p>

<p class="txtcont">While she may play tough as nails detective Olivia Benson on <em>Law &amp; Order: Special Victims Unit</em>, this Hollywood actress is showing off her big heart, by using her spare time to give back to women in need. Hargitay and her <a href="http://www.joyfulheartfoundation.org" target="_blank">Joyful Heart Foundation</a> joined forces with <a href="http://www.philosophy.com" target="_blan">philosophy</a> to build “healing kits” for women in shelters throughout the LA area to draw attention to the massive budget cuts to the state’s domestic violence services. Along with her handsome hubby Peter Hermann, celeb pals Debra Messing, Sharon Lawrence and Shohreh Aghdashloo and other volunteers, the group filled the kits with philosophy’s charity shower gel, a cozy shirt from Michael Stars and other goodies. “These kits say to a survivor: you’re not alone,” Hargitay told PEOPLE. “ I want to inspire these women with a sense of joy and possibility.” Hargitay partnered with philosophy to create a shower gel and body lotion which 100% of proceeds go to her Joyful Heart Foundation. “These products are so beautiful,” gushed a proud Hargitay. “The make women feel so good, it’s about watering your soul and heart and feeling good.” Support the cause by purchasing your own Joyful Heart shower gel, $20, from <a href="http://www.philosophy.com/web/store/prod_joyful-heart-shower-gel" target="_blank">philosophy.com</a>.<em>&#8211; Jen Garcia</em></p>

<p class="txtcont">Champagne, elegant canapes, celebrities &#8212; this was definitely not your typical Tuesday night shopping outing. Armani Exchange opened up their doors to fashionistas to preview their nightlife-inspired A/X Holiday Collection on Tuesday night. Alexa Chung, host of MTV’s <em>It’s On With Alexa Chung</em>, joined the store festivities to do a little shopping of her own. And the fashion It-girl, who was rocking a black boyfriend blazer, frilled white button-up shirt with a polka dot tie and cut-off shorts, told PEOPLE that she knows where to look for style inspiration. “I watch a lot of films, looking at someone like Francoise Hardy or those &#8217;60s actresses, like Jane Birkin,” Chung explaned. “Cybill Shepherd in The Last Picture Show is amazing.” As Alexa strolled the store looking at clothes, she bobbed and sang along to indie hits &#8212; and revealed the top fashion muses she&#8217;d love to bring on her show. “I’d love to have Marianne Faithfull or Pamela Des Barres,” the talk-show host said. Questioned about whether or not her bosses would let Des Barres, the infamous rock and roll groupie, on her show, she replied, “God, I hope so!” Check out the collection for yourself at <a href="http://www.armaniexchange.com/category/womens.do" target="_blank">armaniexchange.com</a>. <em>&#8211;reporting by Jeremy Gordon</em></p>

<p class="txtcont"><a href="http://www.people.com/people/courteney_cox">Courteney Cox</a> and David Arquette have headed back to the design studio just in time for the holidays. The husband-and-wife design  team have been working with Satya Jewelry since 2007 on a collection of butterfly-inspired jewels to benefit the <a href="http://www.ebkids.org/" target="_blank">EB Medical Research Foundation</a>, a cause close to the Arquettes&#8217; hearts.  &#8220;There is a beautiful child named Brendon, the son of one of our dear friends, Andrea Pett Joseph, who was born with Epidermolysis Bullosa or EB [a rare skin disease],&#8221; David tells <a href="http://www.vogue.co.uk/news/daily/091103-courteney-cox-david-arquette-jewell.aspx" target="_blank">Vogue.com</a>. &#8220;We were not aware of the condition until it affected us personally but, of course, once we got to know this incredible child we wanted to do whatever we could to help.&#8221; Since the launch of their EB jewelry collection, the Arquettes and Satya Jewelry have raised over $200,000 to benefit EBMRF. For this upcoming holiday season, David and Courteney have added three new pieces to their collection, including a new butterfly pendant, a new &#8220;hope” pendant and an onyx, blue topaz and turquoise bracelet with a sterling silver charm. The collection ranges from $38-$68, with 100% of the proceeds benefiting the EBMRF. <a href="http://www.satyajewelry.com/catalog/charity-butterfly-c-115_159.html" target="_blank">Click here to shop Courteney and David&#8217;s EB collection for Satya Jewelry.</a> </p>

Two of Hollywood&#8217;s hottest other-halves, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/paris_hilton">Paris Hilton</a>&#8217;s beau Doug Reinhardt and <a href="http://www.people.com/people/mariah_carey">Mariah Carey</a>&#8217;s dapper husband Nick Cannon, stole the limelight by donning wings designed to send hearts a-fluttering. And while Doug went tongue-in-cheek as the Tooth Fairy (complete with a tutu), for Nick it was classic angel all the way, in a perfectly fitted white suit and marabou halo.

Jimmy Choo Founder and President Tamara Mellon stepped out in London last night to host the global launch party of the brand&#8217;s ‘Project PEP’. The limited edition collection with its rock &#8216;n&#8217; roll, punk-inspired print will raise funds for the Simelela Rape Centre in Cape Town, a project started by Mellon and the Elton John Aids Foundation in 2005.  “When you buy one of these products here tonight, it will release the PEP medication straight to the women in Africa,” Mellon told PEOPLE as she greeted guests such as Guy Ritchie and bikini designer, Melissa Odabash, who was modeling the sky high gladiator ‘PEP Loop’ heels. Jimmy Choo will donate 25% of the net sales from this capsule collection to fund the pioneering centre where rape victims exposed to HIV are given anti-retroviral drugs to stop the virus developing. “I went to South Africa earlier this year, and I’m planning another trip in 2010,” said Mellon, adding “It was emotional but it was also an uplifting experience to see that this really does make a difference, it takes the shame away from these women.” So how does the multi-tasking Mellon, who has a <a href="http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2009/09/24/sneak-peek-jimmy-choo-for-hm/">H&amp;M collaboration</a> launching next month and a perfume in the works, juggle all of this with charity work and bringing up her 7-year-old daughter Araminta: “I don’t know!” she laughs, “I do enjoy several coffees in the morning, that tends to keep me going.” The collection is available worldwide from 4th November or buy online at <a href="http://www.jimmychoo.com/Collections/Project-PEP/icat/projectpepuk" target="_blank">jimmychoo.com</a>.</p>

<p class="txtcont">They&#8217;re creepy and they&#8217;re kooky&#8230;.at least Reese, Courteney, and McDreamy and their kids will be on Halloween.  The famous Avon faces ringing your bell that night won’t be making a sales call, but rather, they&#8217;ll be trick or treating with their children. “My son Darby is into skeletons and anything with skull and crossbones,” presenter <a href="http://www.people.com/people/patrick_dempsey">Patrick Dempsey</a> told PEOPLE at The Avon Foundation for Women Benefit at Cipriani 42nd Street in New York Tuesday. “They’ve been practicing for Halloween for about a month now.” And their daughter is also going for the dark side. “My daughter is going to be the gothic princess skeleton,” added McDreamy’s wife (and Avon&#8217;s Global Creative Color Director) Jillian Dempsey. “We’re going as the Addams Family,” chimed in <a href="http://www.people.com/people/courteney_cox">Courteney Cox Arquette</a>, also a presenter.  And her little daughter Coco?  “She’s going to be Wednesday,” said Cox, while husband David is going to be Gomez. Not everyone is that settled, as the evening’s co-host, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/reese_witherspoon">Reese Witherspoon</a>, claimed she didn’t know yet what the kids would dress as on Halloween. “But I’m going to be a monster,” said Witherspoon. “I found a great furry costume and I had to buy it.” And even those trick or treating without little ones are getting into the spirit, with <a href="http://www.people.com/people/lauren_conrad">Lauren Conrad</a> making her own clown costume. “It just sounded fun,” she said. “And I figured it was the only costume that I could wear with flats.  I can wear tennis shoes.  You get tired of heels!“ <em>&#8211; Jeffrey Slonim</em></p>

<p class="txtcont">Does this mean we can expect to see pointy cone-bra corset styles at Target? Mark your fashion calendars: Jean Paul Gaultier is doing a cheap chic collection for Target arriving in stores March 7, 2010. The collection will be available in 250 stores and online through April 11. Gaultier, known for his racy, theatrical, avant-garde styles, was one of the first designers to make lingerie fashionable &#8212; he designed the now ubiquitous cone-bra corsets for Madonna&#8217;s Blond Ambition tour in the Nineties. Always inspired by the world around him, <em>WWD</em> reports the Gaultier Target collection &#8220;pays tribute to the American woman, celebrating the forces of style both past and present in American pop culture.&#8221; Does that mean current fans <a href="http://www.people.com/people/rihanna">Rihanna</a> and <a href="http://www.people.com/people/katy_perry">Katy Perry</a>, who attended his Paris runway show this month? Gaultier, who&#8217;s also the creative director at Hermes and who received the prestigious CFDA International Award in 2000, is the third guest designer in Target&#8217;s Designer Collaborations series, following <a href="http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2009/05/06/anna-sui-teams-with-target-for-a-gossip-girl-inspired-collection/">Anna Sui</a> last month and <a href="http://stylenews.peoplestylewatch.com/2008/11/19/alexander-mcqueen-dishes-about-his-upcoming-line-with-target/">Alexander McQueen</a> last spring. <em>&#8211;Kristin Larson</em></p>

Stars like <a href="http://www.people.com/people/halle_berry">Halle Berry</a>, Chris Martin, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/john_mayer">John Mayer</a>, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/queen_latifah">Queen Latifah</a>, Iman and Padma Lakshmi joined the singer for a night of glitz and glam in New York City where Halle proved to be the night&#8217;s heaviest bidder, taking home a one-of-kind, 18k gold, blue kyanite and ruby necklace for $40,000 &#8212; all of which benefited Keep-A-Child-Alive. The necklace, which was co-designed by Alicia for jewelry line The Barber&#8217;s Daughters, is inscribed with an inspirational quote from the singer that says &#8220;Always shine/ light on the/world./Alicia Keys&#8221;. And while Alicia proudly wore the necklace during the event, Halle took it home. You can find similar (and less expensive) versions of the necklace at <a href="http://www.thebarbersdaughters.com/" target="_blank">thebarbersdaughters.com</a>. </p>

<p class="txtcont">What’s better than one hot store opening in a new location in West Hollywood? Two hot stores opening at once, of course! When Diavolina and Madison launched with a single party benefiting the Susan G. Komen foundation Thursday night hosted by Current/Eliott designers Meritt Elliot and Emily Current, Lucy Hale, Tichina Arnold, and <a href="http://www.people.com/people/mandy_moore">Mandy Moore</a> came out to celebrate. Moore, who works with Current and Elliot (they are also stylists) regularly, had something else her mind: her husband of seven months, Ryan Adams. “I’m learning every day,” she said of being married. “I’m lucky because I get to spend every day with my best friend and he’s a great influence.” And their pals second the emotion, with Elliot saying of the couple, &#8220;Being around both of them is a joy. They’re super fun.&#8221;  Mandy also praises Emily and Merritt in turn, enthusing, &#8220;I’m always happy to support them, I couldn’t be more excited for their success. You know when hope for people and they deserve it and then it happens to the good people &#8212; there is justice in the world. I adore them and I am always happy to come out. Anything to show my love.&#8221; The other stars were focused on love of a different kind &#8212; retail love! “I’ve never been to Diavolina before but, of course, I’ve been to Madison,” said Hale. “I saw a really cute studded bag in there so I’m going to check that out.” Arnold was thinking bigger. “There are a red pair of Yves Saint Laurent shoes over there. I must have those. It’s perfect for the holidays.” </p>

These T-shirts capture the spirit of South Africa and give everyone a way to help.&#8221;  Charlize has already been spotted rocking of the brightly colored, vintage-inspired T-shirts herself. T-shirts start at $42 with fifty percent of the proceeds directly benefiting the Charlize Theron Africa Outreach Project.

<p class="txtcont">Felicity Huffman takes cancer — and beauty — seriously. The actress has joined Philosophy and the Entertainment Industry Foundation to raise awareness for the fight against women’s cancers. The <em>Desperate Housewives</em>&#8217;s star will appear in a public service announcement that encourages people to submit an original line of poetry to Philosophy’s “Unforgettable” poem — featured on the brand’s Shower for the Cure bath gel — and make a donation to the EIF’s Women’s Cancer Research Fund. Other celebs who have signed on to support the campaign and submitted their own lines of poetry include Rita Wilson, Lisa Kudrow, Lori Laughlin, Angie Harmon and James Caan.  All entries will be considered for a special edition of the Shower for the Cure bath gel bottle available for sale in October 2010.

<p class="txtcont">Doing good sure did look appealing this weekend at the Neutrogena Fresh Faces of Music event to benefit VH1&#8217;s Save the Music Foundation. Two of Neutrogena&#8217;s superstar spokespeople, <a href="http://www.people.com/people/hayden_panettiere">Hayden Panettiere</a> and <a href="http://www.people.com/people/vanessa_hudgens">Vanessa Hudgens</a>, turned out to show their support for keeping music in schools.  And the duo did a lot more than just show off their flawless skin — they lent a hand by presenting a $30,000 check to a South Los Angeles middle school to jump-start their music program. &#8220;It’s such an important thing, music and creativity,&#8221; Hayden tells PEOPLE. &#8220;I’ve heard vineyards will play Mozart while the grapes are growing and it really does make a massive, massive difference.&#8221;  But no beauty-supported event is complete without a little shop talk, and Hudgens was quick to share her favorite beauty must-have. &#8220;Things are always on the go for me so I love The Wave,&#8221; Vanessa tells PEOPLE of Neutrogena&#8217;s deep-cleansing power gadget. &#8220;I just throw it in my purse and go on my merry way.&#8221; <em>Tell us: What&#8217;s your go-to budget beauty tool?</em>  — <em>reporting by Nina Tyler</em></p>

<p class="txtcont">There&#8217;s nothing like shopping and Champagne, and this weekend celebrity fashionistas indulged in both for a good cause. At a DSW Step Up and Step Out brunch hosted by <a href="http://www.people.com/people/vanessa_minnillo">Vanessa Minnillo</a>, who served as the program&#8217;s honorary chair, guests were treated to a Champagne brunch at the W New York before getting the opportunity to shop in a private lounge featuring the best of DSW with shoes by Sergio Rossi, Manolo Blahnik, Valentino, Stella McCartney, and the more wallet-friendly Chinese Laundry, among others — all in support of the Step Up Woman’s Network’s charitable programming for women and girls.  “It&#8217;s a perfect combination of philanthropy and designer shoe shopping – two things that I love close to my heart!” said Minnillo.  “I think it just hit so close to home for me because I didn’t have my real mother growing up. My dad was always there, but there’s something about a woman’s touch, so to speak, so I&#8217;ve literally drawn from so many women in my life.”  And <em>Gossip Girl</em>’s Kelly Rutherford had her own women of inspiration — including her younger costar.  “I’m inspired by so many people — from Barbara Walters to Blake Lively,” said Rutherford.  “I think [Blake] makes really good choices and that&#8217;s inspiring.”  And for her own shoe choice of the day, the actress teetered in stiletto peep-toe pumps from<a href="http://www.people.com/people/jessica_simpson"> Jessica Simpson</a>’s line. “I’m an ad for a cab because these are the highest shoes I’ve ever worn!” she joked.  “This is why Jessica looks so hot, I’ve figured it out.” <em>-– Shruti Dhalwala</em></p>

And now, we finally have a closer look at what will be hitting stores this November. The luxury shoe brand has expanded into clothing for its H&amp;M collaboration, and one key piece will be this black sequined cardigan, $129. But don&#8217;t think they forget the accessories! We are especially loving the rocker-chic Claire black bag with diamond star, $99, and the bright pink plastic Kase bag, $60 &#8212; the perfect way to add a <a href="http://www.peoplestylewatch.com/people/stylewatch/gallery/0,,20306119,00.html">pop</a> to your fall wardrobe. We can hardly wait to see the rest of the collection, prices ranging from $30-$299, which will hit H&amp;M stores on Saturday, November 14.<strong>Tell us: Will you wait in line for the Jimmy Choo for H&amp;M collection?</strong></p>

<p class="txtcont">The fashion world is about to be dazzled by a new Versace It-bag &#8212; but this time it&#8217;s all in the name of a good cause. In the October issue of <a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/" target="_blank"><em>Harper&#8217;s Bazaar</em></a>, Donatella Versace shares her newest charity venture: a bag created by children, to benefit children. &#8220;When you are successful in your life,&#8221; she explains of the impetus behind the new project, &#8220;you want to give back.&#8221; And when you&#8217;re Donatella, you do it with style. This past summer, the designer teamed up with the Art Unites program at the Whitney Museum of American Art in N.Y.C., where she met with dozens of youngsters who created pictures with a friendship theme on squares of canvas. Each of the resulting works of art (along with other submissions around the world) will be made into one-of-a-kind Versace totes and sold for $250 each, with proceeds benefitting Starlight Children&#8217;s Foundation and the Jet Li One Foundation. And of the over-1000 canvases that were submitted, two budding artists will have their works featured on the Versace runway this month!   Click through for a sneak preview of the October cover, starring <a href="http://www.people.com/people/janet_jackson">Janet Jackson</a>, and enter to win $5,000 in <em>Harper&#8217;s Bazaar</em>&#8217;s Fabulous at Every Age contest by <a href="http://www.harpersbazaar.com/sweepstakes/9557">clicking here</a>.</p>

What  better way to celebrate the 70th Anniversary of the <em>Wizard of Oz</em> than with a high-fashion reinterpretation of Dorothy&#8217;s iconic ruby slippers? Some of the world&#8217;s hottest shoe designers &#8212; including Christian Louboutin, Roger Vivier, Manolo Blahnik, Jimmy Choo and Stuart Weitzman &#8212; have taken on the style challenge, and it&#8217;s all for a good cause. Singer Ashanti has also joined in the celebration, parlaying her experience playing Dorothy in the Broadway production of <em>The Wiz</em> into a new role as official spokesperson for the film&#8217;s birthday. &#8220;[Dorothy] definitely needs some stones and diamonds and maybe some Swarovski crystals going up and down the heels,&#8221; she tells PEOPLE. And while Ashanti might be somewhat of a modern-day Dorothy herself, she admits that she doesn&#8217;t own a pair of <em>ruby</em> slippers&#8211;yet. &#8220;Giuseppe [Zanotti] made me a custom pair when I did <em>The Wiz</em>, but they were green for the Emerald City,&#8221; she explains. &#8220;But, I think every woman should own a pair [of shoes] that makes them feel confident and fearless.&#8221; And if dazzling red shoes are your idea of fierce, you can bid on any of the 20 designers&#8217; creations &#8212; including our favorite Roger Vivier pair (above) &#8212; until September 29. All proceeds benefit the <a href="http://www.pedaids.org/" target="_blank">Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation</a>.  Visit <a href="http://www.charityfolks.com/cfauctions/auction_verticalngo.asp?slrid=1863" target="_blank">charityfolks.com</a> to view all the designs and place your bid. <strong>Tell us: Which pair of ruby slippers is your favorite?</strong></p>
