Fur Sure
The fur is sure to fly now that a new crop of foxy ladies have chosen not to hide their passion for pelts. Gisele Bündchen stole the show at a Manhattan gala in a custom-made mink wrap that, she purred, "made me feel sexy, warm and luxurious. For a designer, fur is the hottest material to work with right now." Ranging from shearling collars to fox shawls, skin coverups are being used to bring a soupçon of sophistication to any wear. Miss Universe 2002 Justine Pasek embraced the sentiment in a sumptuous Roberto Cavalli fox stole that, she believes, "epitomizes glamor. I can wear this with an evening gown or jeans and feel equally sexy in both." To be sure, the trend is not without its opponents, but its undaunted devotees remain gloriously furred, not shaken.

Rebecca Romijn-Stamos bared down to there in a daring Christian Dior dress and a satin Tod's clutch at the L.A. premiere of her film Femme Fatale. Hey, if the movie title fits, wear it.

Pop princess Jessica Simpson knew her Austin, Texas, nuptials wouldn't be complete without a proper western send-off. So the bride gifted her 11 bridesmaids (plus one for herself) with $125 monogrammed western belts by B-Low the Belt from L.A.'s Intuition boutique. Better that than, say, a George Dubya coffee mug....

What's left to do after you've conquered the music and fashion worlds and dated J.Lo? Why, crown yourself king, of course! P. Diddy may have accessorized his majestic Halloween robe with too-cool tinted shades that resulted in a Shaft-meets-Henry VIII look, but he also demonstrated he would have no trouble landing a maître d' gig at a medieval-themed restaurant....

Much like a kid in a candy store, Mena Suvari was in deep lingerie swoon at an L.A. fete for Agent Provocateur on Oct. 29. The boutique's owners bestowed a goody bag worth $175 on the actress that included their signature scented tissues and candles as well as a pair of tongue-logo panties ($120) from the Rolling Stones' new Rockware line. There's nothing like underthings to bustier a girl's spirits.

Getups and Go
Eve pulled four fabulous fast ones on Oct. 30 with a designer mod quad that was unveiled in less than three hours.
1. She arrives backstage at MTV's hip-hop special Fashionably Loud in a Dolce & Gabbana flight jacket and Jill Stuart jeans.
2. She belts out "Satisfaction" in a Luella Bartley ensemble.
3. She dons head-to-sneaker Anna Sui to sing "Gangsta Lovin'."
4. Then, quick as a bunny, she's off to a party in a Louis Vuitton rabbit vest. The rapper is used to flash dressing, says her stylist Alexander Allen: "She's a jet-setter."

I really LOVE my...
Ernesto Esposito shoes: It's wise to put your best foot forward, and Naomi Watts does so triple time in strappy leather slingbacks ($450). Adding a golden touch to evening wear, the sandals keep Watts a step ahead of the pack.

Eyes on the Guys
Hey, gals, better safeguard the medicine cabinet! These days men are slathering on eye cream to lighten up dark circles and reduce bags and fine wrinkles. Guy Ritchie and Madonna smooth things out together using Alive Pure Kabbalah Water Within Under Eye Treatment. JAG star David James Elliott likes to dab on Peter Thomas Roth formulas, while Matthew McConaughey dips into Jack Black Eye Balm Age Minimizing Gel. No more tired-looking peepers? No wonder these guys are flipping their lids.
