Behind the Seams
CROWNING GLORY

BUSINESS CASUAL
Enrique Iglesias's off-duty wardrobe may look low-key—faded tees and sporty crew-neck tanks—but the pieces have a luxe pedigree: The singer is a fan of high-end designer John Varvatos's collection for Converse, requesting several items from the vintage-inspired line before heading out for a recent vacation. Josh Duhamel and Kevin Connolly are also fans....
Converse by John Varvatos short-sleeve eyelet crew in bottle green ($95) and Detroit crew in heather smoke ($75); 212-243-9141.
HAVING A MOMENT ... ALEXANDER WANG
Beloved by A-listers like Reese Witherspoon, Hilary Swank and Kirsten Dunst, 23-year-old designer Alexander Wang has garnered a following for his brand of casual chic. "I design for the girl who doesn't always play by the rules," says Wang. Here are his tips for getting the eclectic look right:
1) Don't do the matching bag with the matching shoes. That's so dated—it's about mixing it up.
2) Get a really oversize sweater to wear with jeans. That's become the new idea of a jacket.
3) Don't wear too much makeup. Women should be comfortable in their own skin.
STAR TREND YOU CAN WEAR DRAMATIC EYELINER
CHANEL
Automatic liquid eyeliner in black, $32; saksfifthavenue.com.
Batting one's lashes has never been so eye-catching: Stars are lining their upper lids with dramatic dark eyeliner, flicked up at the outer corners of the eyes. "I love doing a smaller version of the Amy Winehouse," says High School Musical's Vanessa Hudgens, who relies on Chanel's liquid liner (above, right). "More like Angelina Jolie."
CHARITY CHIC
Shop till you drop—and build good karma at the same time

POSH & BECKS GET INTIMATE
David and Victoria Beckham are launching his-and-her fragrances—already a big hit in the U.K.—stateside this month
Where on the body do you recommend spraying Intimately Beckham?
VICTORIA: You're meant to put it here [points to her neck], here [points to her wrist] and behind your knees, which is kind of odd. I don't do the whole knee thing. DAVID: I just like to put it on there and there [points to his neck and chest]. I'm sure you could smell it behind my knees in my trousers. (Laughs)
Do you have the bottles in a shrine at home?
DAVID: We've got all of the bottles in the shower and in the bathrooms. And the kids love to have them. VICTORIA: Because they want to be like Daddy, of course.
What are your favorite smells?
DAVID: I love the smell of children first thing in the morning. Obviously my children. The first thing when they get out of our bed or out of the bath, there's no better smell than that.
What was the first scent you ever wore?
VICTORIA: Coco Chanel. My mom's friend used to give me all of her bottles of Coco Chanel when she'd finished them. I would line them all up on my dresser. And the bag that they came in I actually used as my schoolbag. DAVID: I really don't know what mine was, actually. Victoria: Was it Fahrenheit? You can say. DAVID: It might have been Fahrenheit. Everyone wanted it at school. I think it was.
