Diane Kruger looks statuesque in an elegant cream Calvin Klein gown that pools at her feet.

Joy Bryant was beaming in a glamorous tulle Marchesa gown with a patterned mini-dress peeking out from underneath. Joy relaxes and gets in shape at Golden Bridge Yoga in Los Angeles, CA. “Kundalini yoga therapy… om!”

CFDA Fashion Icon honoree Iman turned heads in a black satin Prada gown that cinched around her waist and showed off her curves. "A self-esteem issue doesn't change whether you're considered beautiful or not because it's about what's inside you." - Iman

Gisele Bündchen looked fierce and fabulous in a textured Alexander Wang mini-dress accented with fringe. To get Gisele’s flawless skin, be on the lookout for her new skincare line, Sejaa Pure Skincare, which is made from all-natural ingredients and comes in recyclable packaging.

Hilary Rhoda chose a dramatic black and red mini dress by Prabal Gurung to stand out from the crowd on the red carpet. To get in shape for summertime, take a cue from Hilary and hit the courts! This glamour girl loves to take up a game of tennis for a fun outdoor workout.

Brooke Shields was a goddess in a gold Michael Kors gown that sparkled in sequins and stacked gold bangles to match. Brooke Shields has been a beauty her whole life. This supermodel turned actress holds the record for the youngest model to appear on the cover of Vogue at age 14!

Naomi Campbell was ultra glamorous in a black silk Dolce & Gabbana gown with a fitted bodice and a cascading train. Science has proven that a life of friendship and laughter increases longevity, and Naomi Campbell has friendship in spades with fellow-model gal pal Kate Moss. Who knew your friends keep you healthy and beautiful?

Doutzen Kroes looked like a princess with Zac Posen in a fabulous blue gown with a voluminous skirt and full sleeves made of tulle. How far are you willing to go to get legs like Doutzen Kroes? Before she was strutting the runways, Doutzen was toning her stems on ice as a fierce speed skater!

Amber Valetta chose a gorgeous blue gown with a plunging neckline and thigh high slit for the red carpet gala. Giving back is one of the many reasons Amber is beautiful both inside and out. She has begun devoting her time to the International Fund for Animal Welfare as an honorary board member.

Coco Rocha looked stunning in a watercolor Zac Posen gown that trailed behind her in an impressive train. Coco Rocha is just as beautiful on the inside. Just a few months ago, she co-hosted the Hearts for Haiti charity function in New York City. Giving back is always in style.

Jessica Stam accentuated her hourglass figure in a skintight black gown with a deep neckline to show a little skin. Known for being a fashionista on the red carpet, Jessica is trying her hand designing. She and Rachel Roy are creating a capsule collection to be sold at Macys this fall.

Kemp Muhl chose an eccentric pantsuit in mustard yellow, while Sasha Pivovarova was boho-chic in a knee length taupe dress paired with knee high black boots. To look camera ready all the time, pick up Kemp Muhl’s must-have beauty product for quick touch-ups, Dream Liquid Mousse by Maybelline.

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley, Rosie Huntington Whiteley Rosie Huntington-Whiteley was poised and polished in a champagne strapless gown with a belted waistline.

"I am traveling all the time so putting clean, natural foods into me and natural products on my body is really important.

Karolina Kurkova looked gorgeous in a re Altuzarra white gown with cutouts around her waist and a gorgeous train that began above the knee. "When you've been flying a lot, or you know you have been eating bad, I squeeze a bit of lemon juice and kind of wash my face with it, because of the acid, it kind of pulls everything out that wants to come out and drys everything out, so it's not so glamorous, but you just shine!"- Karolina Kurkova

Riley Keough was covered in elaborate tiers of ruffles that wrapped around her body from head to toe. Even though she resides in warm, sunny Los Angeles, Riley Keough’s favorite wardrobe item is coats! She may not get to throw them on very often, but her closets are still full of them!

Padma Lakshmi smoldered in a curve-hugging Roberto Cavalli gown that was finished off with feather accents and jewel embellishments. "I actually like the Pantene hair spray, their pump hair spray is really good. And they come in trail sizes so it’s good for when you’re traveling."- Padma Lakshmi

Bar Rafaeli wore a coquettish black and cream dress by Rag & Bone that showed off her long legs and toned arms. Bar maintains her gorgeous, glowing locks by using Garnier’s Triple Nutrition line, which consists of shampoo, conditioner, and treatment.

Alessandra Ambrosio showed off her toned midsection in a luminous cream Versace gown that gracefully swept the floor. “Another thing I think is really great for your skin is coconut water. [It] has a lot of minerals so it hydrates you a lot and it's really delicious, the taste is incredible!”- Alessandra Ambrosio
