Rachel Zoe had a busy weekend at NYFW. In addition to checking out the Diane von Furstenberg, Skaist-Taylor, and Derek Lam shows, she presented her own Rachel Zoe Collection Saturday at the Empire Hotel. Stars like Olivia Palermo and Mary Alice Stephenson turned out to see Rachel's designs, which were inspired by '60s London and icons like Marianne Faithfull and Mick Jagger. We caught up with Rachel just before she sent her creations, which included wrap dresses, textured suites, and red carpet-ready gowns, down the runway. In addition to her styling work, inspirations, and famous clients, Rachel Zoe spoke about her start in fashion. She said, "I'm gonna say, when I started reading Vogue, and I looked at the work of Grace Coddington. And I thought, 'I want to do that.'" Rachel celebrated at night with her loved ones. She tweeted a photo of their low-key meal, and wrote, "Celebrating post show with Deluscious cookies with friends and family! Perfect way to end a special day."

David Beckham stopped to watch his oldest son, Brooklyn, at soccer practice yesterday in LA. The father of four was back home after a jaunt to London, where he went clubbing with Prince Harry and made the press rounds to promote his underwear line with H&M. The steamy TV commercial for David's collection made its debut during the Super Bowl last Sunday, and David admitted watching the spot for the first time made him blush!

With David back in town to hang out with their boys, Victoria Beckham took their daughter Harper along with her to NYC on Tuesday. Victoria headed to the Big Apple just in time for Fashion Week, where she'll show the Fall/Winter 2012 collection from her eponymous line as well as Victoria by Victoria Beckham. Her designs have been a hit among celebrities and critics alike, and rumors that she might be dressing some A-list celebrities for the Oscars later this month have started to circulate.

Victoria Beckham carried a plaid-dress-wearing Harper into LAX this afternoon. The duo is headed to NYC, where Victoria will show her Fall collection at Fashion Week on Sunday. Victoria spent much of last month in London ringing in the New Year with her family and working on her latest designs, which she's started promoting with multiple magazine spreads. Victoria's post-baby body was on display in front of the cameras for the first time in Numéro Tokyo, and she more recently made a quirky appearance on the cover of i-D magazine's "Whatever the Weather" issue.

It was Victoria's husband David who turned heads this weekend though, when his sexy, shirtless H&M ad aired during the Super Bowl. David shared his embarrassment at watching the commercial with his family and friends when he chatted with Ryan Seacrest this morning.

Kate Hudson flaunted her bikini body poolside in Mexico yesterday. She's vacationing with fiancé Matthew Bellamy, who lounged in his bathrobe and sipped on a cold drink. Bingham and Ryder weren't spotted with Kate and Matthew, who chatted on the patio. It's been less than a year since Kate gave birth to baby Bingham, though she already slipped into a bikini last Sept., just two months after welcoming her second son into the world. It looks like the mom of two is enjoying the Cabo sun after spending much of the Winter in colder climates like London and Aspen. The vacation is almost over for Kate, since she's set to star in a new movie titled Everly, which will start filming this Spring.

Victoria Beckham Talks Insecurities and Inspiration in i-D

Lauren Turner — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 14:42:46 PST

Victoria Beckham gets quirky on the cover of i-D magazine's "Whatever the Weather" issue, which hits newsstands on Feb. 9. She posed in skimpy clothes for the playful spread after also donning a leotard in Numéro Tokyo last month. Victoria's been working on her collection in London as she gears up for Fashion Week while her husband, David, recently debuted his own underwear line for H&M. Victoria chatted about her insecurities and inspiration for her clothes in the publication. Here's more from Victoria Beckham in i-D magazine:

On her changing style: "When I started it was all about the corset dress. That's what people associated me with, and possibly if I'm honest a sign of my own insecurities as well. But the older I get and the more comfortable I am in my own skin, the more I realise that to look great and feel great I haven't always got to wear something tight."
On her design inspiration: "I don't follow fashion and I don't follow trends, I just follow my instincts and think what do I want to wear? What am I feeling for next season?"

Exclusive - See William and Kate on Vacation in Mustique With the Middletons

Prince William and his wife Kate spent the last week together on vacation with her family in Mustique. The couple spent a few days on the West Indies island with her sister Pippa, brother James, and parents Michael and Carole. William apparently met up with the group after the Middletons started their fun. He arrived, however, ahead of the celebrations for Carole Middleton's 57th birthday. The Middletons' getaway included plenty of beach time and group lunches by the water. The girls were able to wear bikinis and sit in the sun, while James snapped photos from his deck chair. William and Kate stayed at Aurora House, a retreat owned by their friend Mark Cecil, according to reports.

William, Kate, and Pippa wrapped things up and left Mustique for the Hewanorra airport in nearby St. Lucia, where they caught a British Airways flight. They headed back to London so William could prepare for his deployment to the Falkland Islands. He was scheduled to begin a six-week tour of duty Wednesday. Along with other pilots, William will be tasked with manning search-and-rescue helicopters.
