When Less Is So Much More This halter style is so white-hot, it doesn’t need extra flash to make it sizzle. Maria owns it by adding simple yet sleek mesh pumps and a black clutch. Heidi gets fussy with her fashion — the canary MCM purse and red lips fight for attention, sapping the sexy right out of the Alexis jumpsuit. Highlight, Don’t Hide! Keep up, Kourtney! The neckline of this Nina Ricci dress is flirty-fab, but letting hair hang loose in front spoils the effect. Power star Naturi’s high bun lets the ruffled halter take center stage, and her crystal T-straps draw focus to the frock’s leg-flashing high-low hem. Kourt’s strappies? #basic. Giving Girly the Right Edge Both stars look beautiful in this hand-painted floral appliqué Hayley Paige frock,…

Now that she’s learned Lisa Vanderpump is pocketing $2 million a year to appear on The Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and Vanderpump Rules, RHOBH co-star Kim Richards wants a big raise of her own. But Bravo execs aren’t necessarily on the same page. “She believes she should get $1.5 million per season, with additional money for appearing at the reunion,” an insider says of Kim, 51. The insider adds that Kim, who was not a cast regular last season, will remain a “friend” on the next season. “She wouldn’t even make $150,000 for that,” says the insider. Kim might have to take whatever Bravo offers her, as “She’s only been getting by lately with the financial support of half sister Kathy Hilton,” the insider notes. Still, Kim feels she’s…

Baby News American Pie star Chris Klein and wife Laina Rose Thyfault welcomed son Frederick Easton on July 23. It’s the first child for the pair, who wed in 2015. “So incredibly blessed,” gushed the actor, 37. Double Drama Days after a nasty breakup with her Russian fiancé, Egor Tarabasov, troubled actress Lindsay Lohan, 30, told her family that she is expecting a baby. “Daddy, I’m pregnant,” her father, Michael Lohan, says his daughter texted him. Safety Fail On July 26, Disney-owned Foodles Production (the producer of Star Wars: The Force Awakens) pleaded guilty to two counts of failing to protect workers. The charges stem from a 2014 accident where a door on the Star Wars set struck Harrison Ford, now 74, breaking his leg. TeedOff Justin Timberlake was “inappropriately…

Pippa Middleton said yes to her dashing hedge fund manager boyfriend, James Matthews — and legions immediately swooned over the idea of her big sis, Duchess of Cambridge Kate, taking on the matron of honor role. But while Pippa famously stole some of the spotlight at the 2011 nups of Kate and Prince William, her royal sibling isn’t looking forward to a star turn at Pippa’s 2017 wedding. In fact, she’s dreading it. When Pippa, 32, vows “I do,” Kate and her regal in-laws will forever be connected to one of England’s most notorious hard-partying, womanizing reality TV stars: James’ younger brother Spencer Matthews. Although Kate, 34, approves of millionaire James, 40, “She is horrified about Spencer being Pippa’s brother-in-law,” says a source, adding that she fears he’ll spill big…

Is Hiddleswift hitting a rough patch? Now that Taylor Swift’s BFF Abigail Anderson is getting hitched, the pop star is piling the pressure on her beau of just two months, Tom Hiddleston, to put a ring on it. “Taylor’s best friend’s wedding has amped up Taylor’s own desire to get married,” says a source. But Tom, 35, doesn’t seem to be in any hurry to marry his famous girlfriend, 26, the source says. The Thor actor hasn’t even committed to being Taylor’s plus-one at Abigail’s wedding. “Tom knows he’ll be under a microscope at the wedding and that it will be intense pressure,” explains the source. “Tom told her Abigail’s wedding is too far in the future for him to commit to going. It seems the pressure of attending a…

Style Evolution: The Flap Happy Revolution Is in Full Swing The Designer Says “This is the modern-day spin on the 1920s flapper dress,” says designer Mathieu Mirano, creator of Emma Roberts’ shiny flap number. “Originally designed as a break from the restricting corsets and gowns of the turn of the century, the look is all about the beauty of movement, motion and freedom.” The thick flaps on this 21st century version are a stronger, more geometric way of executing fringe, he explains, as it puts a woman’s strength and confidence on display along with her most alluring assets. While plunging necklines like Lupita’s and Nicole’s up the sexy ante, the two-tone element of the thick flap straps that are light on the outside and dark on the inside (like Emma’s…

Step aside, drab flip-flops. Stars areelevatingtheirsummerstyle with flirty wedges. The word on Rodeo Drive is that A-listers love how practical the shoes are: “Wedges are incredibly comfortable, and they add polish to almost any look, day or night,” says stylist Lindsay Albanese, who works with Ashley Benson and Bella Thorne. Of course, there’s another reason wedges are a Hollywood must-have: They deliver inches of height that instantly make the body look 10 pounds slimmer (without the pain of pumps). Find the pair that will fit your style and flatter your figure! EXPERT TIP “Concerned about cankles? Don’t be,” says Albanese. “Wedges are perfect for those thicker ankles. They create the illusion of narrower legs!” To Show Off a Tan Go White-Hot Like Reese “The contrast between sun-kissed skin and a…

My favorite cocktail is... a skinny, spicy margarita. Sometimes I’ll ask them to make it a double if I’m really trying to have a good night. Right now, I’m lusting after... YEEZY Season 2 sandals. They’re currently sold out — but when something I want sells out, it becomes an obsession and I have to find it! The best fete I’ve ever been to was... a pool party at P. Diddy’s Miami mansion. We got there at 2 a.m. and they had late-night food; at 6 a.m., they brought out breakfast; and then they brought out lunch at 11. It’s one of those parties you read about. My go-to karaoke song is... “Say My Name” by Destiny’s Child. I’m not really a big karaoke fan, though, because I get embarrassed!…

Take a seat, prim updos, the throw-up-and-go bun has arrived. “People want a break from overly styled, set looks,” says Justine Marjan, a celebrity hairstylist with Mane Addicts who works with the Kardashians. And not only do undone locks paired with a glam dress create a cool juxtaposition on the red carpet, they’re perfect for summer. “The messy effect isn’t threatened by humidity, heat and winds the way elegant ’dos are.” The key to achieving the mussed-up vibe without looking, well, mussed up? “Back-comb roots for volume, put hair up in a bun, then pull out a few face-framing strands.”…

Justin Bieber can’t handle the tooth! During a recent routine visit to Dr. Kevin Sands’ Beverly Hills dental office, a jittery Justin, 22, brought along hired muscle. “He was accompanied by six bodyguards ” reveals an insider. “They weren’t there to protect him from danger — they were just there for emotional support ” The singer is not a fan of the dentist’s chair. “Justin not only hates the discomfort, but the sounds of the drill and of scraping on his teeth make him tense up. He gets super nervous about feeling pain ” And novocaine isn’t Justin’s favorite form of anesthesia, the source says, because he dislikes needles. “His friends give him crap because if he could, Justin would get knocked out cold just to fill a cavity”…

Miley Cyrus and Liam Hemsworth have pig problems in their relationship. Liam, 26, thinks his fiancée, 23, dotes way too much on her swine, Bubba Sue, while Miley thinks Liam’s making a big stink over nothing. “Miley has gotten so obsessive about the pig that he has suggested she talk to a therapist,” says a pal of Liam’s. Just how pig-obsessed is Miley? “When she’s away, Miley hires a ‘pig sitter’ to make sure she has her favorite treats and to give Miley near-constant updates on what Bubba Sue ate, if she’s napping, even the consistency of her poop.” It’s enough to push Liam over the edge. “Liam is accusing her, only half-jokingly, of caring about the porker more than him. She treats the pig like her baby, and Liam…

With a combined net worth of nearly $250 million, Justin Timberlake and Jessica Biel can easily afford to live in the nation’s priciest zip codes in NYC or LA — and they do — but now they’re ready for a more rural lifestyle. “They’ve been talking about relocating — and they love the mountains,” a source tells Life & Style. Jessica, 34, grew up in Boulder, Colo., and she and Justin, 35, are currently considering Aspen or possibly somewhere in Montana. Whichever location they choose for their next home, there’s a good reason why they’re craving more of the great outdoors. “They are trying to have another baby,” the source says of the duo, who are already parents to son Silas, 15 months. “Having Silas has changed their perspective. They…

Caitlyn Jenner had nowhere else to turn. With her show, I Am Cait, sinking lower and lower in the ratings, the reality star reached out to her ex-wife Kris Jenner. “Cait wanted Kris to go to network bosses and threaten to not proceed with the next season of Keeping Up With the Kardashians unless I Am Cait got renewed for a third season,” an insider tells Life & Style exclusively. “She was sure Kris would help her.” She was wrong. “Kris balked at the idea,” says the insider. “She feels like Caitlyn is constantly demanding things but rarely shows any gratitude.” Now the tension between the momager, 60, and her ex, 66, is at an all-time high. “Caitlyn feels hurt and betrayed,” adds the insider. “Things already weren’t great between…

On the final episode of The Bachelorette, Jordan Rodgers seemed determined to put all of the drama behind him as he asked JoJo Fletcher to marry him. But while millions of viewers were thrilled to see her accept his proposal, there was one family member who wasn’t interested: Jordan’s famous brother, Aaron Rodgers. “I haven’t seen the show to be honest with you,” the Green Bay Packers quarterback, 32, said in a recent interview. And he has no intention of following his brother’s relationship in real life, either. Upset over Jordan’s decision to publicly discuss their estrangement on The Bachelorette, Aaron has no plans to ever meet JoJo or introduce her to his actress girlfriend, Olivia Munn, 36, Life & Style has exclusively learned. That has created a family war.…

Gold Tears Add Edge A 14-karat finish may seem unexpected, but Brit beauty Suki’s glittering teardrops not only draw attention up to high cheekbones, they cleverly mask under-eye bags, says celebrity makeup artist Vanessa Ungaro of Lauren+Vanessa. Plus, the sparkle reflects light to make skin look luminous. To get a similar golden gleam: Apply a clear eyelash adhesive along the lower lash line, then add glitter (like Obsessive Compulsive Cosmetics Cosmetic Glitter in Gold, $15, occmakeup.com) on top. Silvered Corners Erase Tiredness “J. Lo’s concentrated inner-corner silver shimmer creates a brightening, wide-awake effect while subtle silver ticks on the outer corners add balance that also elongates eyes,” says Ungaro. Her tip to keeping it chic: Using your fingertip, gently dab shadow (like Maybelline New York EyeStudio Color Tattoo Metal 24HR…

Remember when Beyoncé went vegan in 2013 and lost a whopping 15 pounds in 22 days? Now the 34-year-old superstar has taken her eating plan to a new extreme, embracing a strict raw food diet — only eating unprocessed, uncooked, mostly plant-based foods. “Beyoncé has been doing a raw diet since April, and her hubby [Jay Z] has joined her,” an insider tells Life & Style. “It’s heavy on vegetables, nuts, fruits and seeds. But most importantly, none of their food can be heated over 120 degrees.” FROM LEMONADE TO YELLOWTAIL Going raw can be rough, but Bey and Jay, 46, are pulling out all the stops to stay on track. “Their chef is constantly coming up with new sauces in the food processor which keep the diet palatable and…

The last great movie I saw: “A documentary called Cartel Land [about the drug war in Mexico]. It was just so fascinating.” The last book I read: “ The Psychopath Test by Jon Ronson. I’ve always been interested in what makes someone do something other people wouldn’t imagine.” An album I recently bought: “David Bowie’s last album, Blackstar . He seemed to come full circle and re-established himself as someone avant-garde and revolutionary.”…

Hey, Mariah, LOSE THE DIVA-TUDE OR GET DUMPED! There’s nothing that makes me laugh quite like Mariah Carey acting like a diva. The latest is that she waited to enter a restaurant in Italy until a song of hers was blasting. Apparently, her entourage supplied the restaurant with a playlist of her music — which is so obnoxious! Listen, Mariah’s antics are cute, but one day they’re going to backfire. Mimi’s billionaire fiancé, James Packer, might have put a ring on it, but there’s no way he’ll spend the rest of his life putting up with her. Everybody knows Mariah loves Mariah, but if she loves herself too much, she’s going to end up single! WHAT WOULD WENDY DO? Sharon Osbourne announced she has forgiven husband Ozzy for his alleged…

BEFORE OR AFTER APPARENT SKIN TWEAKS? Charisma Carpenter The actress spent seven years hanging around fictional vampires as Cordelia on Buffy the Vampire Slayer and Angel . Now she’s flaunting her own powers of eternal youth. Since 2011 (left), the 45-year-old has grown more “refreshed,” notes LA dermatologist Dr. Simon Ourian (not the star’s doctor). He gives credit to the likely combo of Botox and radio frequency/ ultrasound treatment, such as an Ultra Brow Lift, for her forehead, noting that “Charisma may also have had Coolaser to eliminate fine lines and wrinkles.” In any case, she’s glowing — and guys we polled approved.…

Gwen Stefani’s year is about to get a whole lot better. The 46-year-old singer, who has spent much of her summer performing in front of sparse crowds on her This Is What the Truth Feels Like Tour, is looking forward to the holidays. Why? “She’s happily telling friends that Blake is going to propose at Christmastime,” a source close to Gwen and boyfriend Blake Shelton, 40, tells Life & Style. “Naturally, she’ll say yes. They’ve been talking about getting married for months.” Hopefully, that’s all Gwen knows about her impending engagement because, the source adds, Blake is planning to take her breath away with a dreamy winter wonderland–like proposal. “He’s planned to do it on a skiing trip either in Mammoth Lakes [Calif.] or Aspen [Colo.].” His timing is perfect,…

Divorces are seemingly contagious in the love triangle surrounding The Real Housewives of New York City’s Jules Wainstein. Back in June, Life & Style broke the news that Jules had caught her husband, Michael, cheating. Michael’s other woman was rumored to be NYC psychologist Elyse Bensusan, who denied the affair to Life & Style and said she was simply Michael’s good friend. (Michael also denies cheating.) While Michael filed for divorce on May 16, his attorney Mark Heller insisted that Elyse’s marriage was very much intact. “There is no divorce proceeding pending or contemplated concerning [Elyse] ” Heller told Life & Style on July 27. Not true. A check by Life & Style of the New York County Clerk’s Office shows that exactly one month after Michael’s filing, Elyse’s husband,…

“I really just don’t care. It’s sexy, it’s comfortable and I’m cool with my breasts. That’s it!”— KENDALL JENNER on her frequent braless excursions “I’m starting to get tired. I’m starting to get old. I want to eat some hamburgers and just relax.”— CHARLIE HUNNAM, revealing he’s ready to let go of his six-pack abs “I don’t wanna see you catching any Pokémons!”— RIHANNA, addressing fans before her concert “I love to read.

“The baby is what’s important and…that’s being lost.” — Keshia Keshia Knight Pulliam was entering a great new phase of her life. Married in January to ex-NFL star Ed Hartwell, the former Cosby Show kid had recently announced that she was pregnant with a little girl by posting an Instagram picture of herself holding a pink frosted cupcake and glowing with happiness. “Surprise!” she wrote. “We have a new addition coming soon!” Unfortunately for Keshia, 37, her husband didn’t share her joy. On July 25, less than two weeks after she announced her pregnancy, Ed, 38, filed for divorce and demanded a paternity test. He stopped short of saying she was unfaithful but claimed she was desperate to have a baby as soon as they married and he stopped having…

SEATS AT BROADWAY’S BIGGEST HIT Hamilton tickets are hard to come by. But not for Matt. The journalist snagged a spot at the NYC show’s May 5 performance — featuring the original cast, including creator Lin-Manuel Miranda — when premium seats were as much as $12K apiece. COOK FOOD FOR HIMSELF? AS IF! Matt’s too busy to make his own meals. So he hired Culinary Institute of America–trained Chris Polidoro to do it for him. The chef served up lunch and dinner for the Lauers for 12 years, he says, delivering “a mix of requests and surprises.” COMMUTING VIA COPTER IS HIS NORM When every second with his family counts, Matt can’t waste time sitting in New York traffic. Instead, the star jets between his job in Manhattan…

Hollywood’s latest hair craze? Going from a chin-length crop one day to Rapunzel-worthy locks the next. Gone are the days of messy tracks and synthetic strands that felt (and looked!) more like straw, says Lorien Meillon of Ken Paves Salon in Los Angeles, who works with Meghan Trainor. “From clip-in-and-go pieces to human hair varieties, extensions have become virtually undetectable, so you can chop off your hair, then ‘grow’ it back in seconds,” explains Meillon. To add length and volume to your hair at home, simply back-comb sections of hair at the roots (this creates an anchor for the extensions) and clip pieces (like 10-inch Hairtensity Human & Premium Blend Hair, $13, sallybeauty.com) into place. But be forewarned, the long locks look isn’t for everyone, especially those with a narrow…
