Gearing up for a relaxing weekend with your girlfriends? Get your gabfest inspiration from some of the week’s biggest stories!

1. Awww! Reese Witherspoon took newbown son, Tennessee James, for a stroll. Check out the photo of her baby boy.
2. Four more years of Obama means four more years of Mrs. O style. Michael Kors dished on her election night dress.
3. Going to see Skyfall this weekend? Brush up on the Bond girls and get the scoop on the film’s Swarovski number.
4. We wonder if it hurt—when they fell from heaven… The Angels walked the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, and we noticed Karlie Kloss chopped her hair, Liu Wen had awesome fake tattoos, and Behati Prinsloo wore a cool dress with an even cooler message. Oh, and we went backstage and talked to Alessandra Ambrosio about that $2.5 million bra.
5. Breaking up is hard to do! Nicolas Ghésquiere leaves his post as creative director of Balenciaga.
6. And certainly not least: David Beckham strips down—again!—for H&M.

CC Creams: The New Beauty Must-Have?

Nov 9, 2012 @ 4:59 pm

Move over, BB creamsthe next skin care innovator is brought to you by the letter “C”! CC creams (short for color control) are lighter, more potent versions of their complexion-perfecting counterparts, and they’re just hitting stores in the U.S. The differences lie in the product’s airy texture, making it easy to blend with a wider variety of skin tones, and the higher dosage of skin-nourishing ingredients. Olay’s version ($23; olay.com) is packed with an ample amount of niacinamide and vitamin B to combat age spots, and, in January, Wet N Wild will be launching their own CC cream! The brand’s upcoming CoverAll Cream Foundation ($4; at drugstores in January) uses Wet N Wild’s patented VisiBright technology to diminish signs of aging and hydrate your skin’s collagen reserves. With these alphabetical skin care-foundation hybrids dominating the beauty market, we’re wondering when we’ll see the release of DD creams

Mark Wahlberg Will Star in Transformers 4!

Nov 9, 2012 @ 4:36 pm

It takes a big-time, preferably sexy, actor to carry the weight of the giant alien robot franchise Transformers, and it seems that director Michael Bay has found just the right person to star in the fourth installment, scheduled for release in June 2014. According to EW, it’s none other than Marky Mark himself, Mark Wahlberg, who has certainly left his teen idol past in the dust. The actor has been nominated for two Oscars to date, one last year for The Fighter and another in 2007 for The Departed. Mark is awesome,” Bay—who directed Wahlberg in the upcoming thriller Pain & Gain—told EW. “We had a blast working [together] and I’m so fired up to be back working with him. An actor of his caliber is the perfect guy to reinvigorate the franchise and carry on the Transformers’ legacy.” It remains to be seen what will become of current star Shia LeBeouf, though Bay denied rumors last week that he sought out Wahlberg to replace LeBeouf. We know Mark can act, and we know he’s hot, so this new casting choice seems like a total no-brainer to us. We can’t wait to see him fight off some majorly angered decepticons!

Amber Heard’s Guess Girl Ad Campaign: Sneak Peek!

Nov 9, 2012 @ 4:20 pm

Amber Heard is taking on a new role, this time as the face of Guess’s upcoming fragrance, Guess Girl! The star, who was signed to front Guess last year, wears a white knotted button-down over a purple sequined dress in the images, and we’re loving how the hibiscus accent mirrors the scent’s flower-adorned flacon. Guess Girl, which hits stores early next year for $40 to $62, is a feminine blend of raspberry nectar, orchid, and Madagascar vanilla. Expect to see Heard’s ads roll out beginning in February!

Rob Kardashian on His Arthur George Sock Line

Nov 9, 2012 @ 4:02 pm

Rob Kardashian’s new sock line, Arthur George, lands exclusively at Neiman Marcus today! While his sisters have long been in the fashion business with Dash and the Kardashian Kollection, their baby bro is taking his first style step with Arthur George, and he couldn’t be more thrilled. “I’m really excited for everybody to finally see something I’m passionate about come to realization,” Kardashian told InStyle.com. The collection includes a plethora of 100 percent Egyptian cotton socks ($30 a pair) in colorful patterns—from zigzag to argyle. While Kardashian is starting off small by only releasing his men’s collection at Neiman Marcus, the women’s and juniors socks will be available online following the retailer’s two-month exclusive. And Rob isn’t just dipping his toe into the design arena. This is only the beginning of my venture into the fashion world,” Kardashian told us. We can’t wait to see what he has up his sleeve!  Until then, you can shop Arthur George socks at Neiman Marcus stores and neimanmarcus.com.

This week on The Voice, Christina Milian wore three gorgeous dresses for the kickoff week of live episodes—and the first elimination last night. “For the first live shows, I [wanted] to wear something really glam—I like to show my personality through each outfit,” Milian told InStyle.com. “It’s fun having a few episodes a week so we can mimic the outfit to who is performing that night or the energy of the day.” On Monday night, the show’s social media correspondent wore a grommet-adorned LBD by Finders Keepers and Zara shoes. On Wednesday, Milian rocked a black leather dress by Twenty Cluny with Schutz shoes, and for last night’s eliminations, the singer chose a blue Roland Mouret dress and L.A.M.B. shoes. Tell us: Which look did you like best?

What’s black and white all over? Celebrity style this season. Stars are taking over the red carpet (and the streets!) in black-and-white ensembles, and we love the graphic color combination! Jessica Alba wore a menswear-inspired black and white number by Narciso Rodriguez to the Environmental Media Awards, Kristen Stewart followed suit in a black-and-white Balenciaga design for the AFI fest screening of her new movie, On the Road, and Cameron Diaz opted for a more feminine take on the trend with a simple satin dress by Stella McCartney at the world premiere of her movie, Gambit, in London. Meanwhile, Gwen Stefani also stepped out across the pond earlier this fall wearing black leather pants, a white turtleneck, and a black blazer.
