The Kardashian mum is set to release her own line for QVC, the Kris Jenner Kollection, on September 8. The 55-year-old told WWD.com: “I’ve wanted to do a collection my entire life. I love the pieces that I wear, and they’re very successful for me – for my lifestyle.” Kris, who has daughters Kourtney, 32, Kim, 30, Khloe, 27, Kendall, 15, Kylie, 13, and 24-year-old son Rob, wants to concentrate on ‘looking good’ when she goes out. She added: “I spent the first half of my life being a mum, having six kids, so now I like to look good, and I’ve learned a lot in my 50-some-odd years of trial and error. “This is a culmination of everything that I love that is easy, with a few pieces thrown in for night and cocktail because every girl needs something to go out in. “When something’s well planned out, then it makes it happier when I begin my day, because I know exactly what to wear.”

Freida Pinto loves Chanel ‘for believing in her from the beginning’
Actress Freida Pinto has revealed that she loves Chanel because they believed in her from the beginning, before she was famous. The 26-year-old Slumdog Millionaire star said the fashion house was the only company to loan her clothes for red carpet events when she was starting her acting career. Freida, who is currently promoting her new movie Rise Of The Planet Of The Apes, told British InStyle magazine: “I tell you why I like Chanel so much; when I started off, no one wanted to give me clothes to wear. Absolutely no one. All the labels said, ‘Who is she?’ “Modelling was not completely satisfying. But Chanel believed in me from the very beginning. “For the very first red carpet I did at the Toronto Film Festival in 2008, they dressed me up in their very current season collection. It’s a massive brand, why would they invest in someone who is nobody?” Pinto, who is currently dating actor Dev Patel, also admitted she is a big fan of high street retailer Topshop. She added: “Shopping at Topshop is one of my favourite things. I get a discount. I get 40 per cent – that’s good right?”

Eva Mendes to sing in new perfume advert
Eva Mendes is set to showcase her vocal abilities in a new fragrance advert. The 37-year-old actress has been chosen to replace Naomi Watts as the face of Angel by Thierry Mugler, and revealed that she will sing in the ads which are set to hit the screen this autumn. “It was my idea,” she told Us Weekly. “They presented me with the song Windmills Of Your Mind, and they wanted to modernise it so I said, ‘Well, this happens to be one of my favourite songs, I’ll sing it.’ It fits the commercial so beautifully.”?? And she was more than prepared for the temporary career change. “I always take random classes that will help kind of keep my instrument in good working condition,” she explained. “So I’ll take vocal lessons or some dance classes, so I always think that you have to be prepared for certain opportunities that are going to come your way.”
