We’ve been stocking our wardrobes with Target’s designer collaborations like Loeffler Randall and Gryson, and a collective thrill just went through our office as we heard that the latest brands to join in on the fun are celeb-favorites Anya Hindmarch and Sigerson Morrison. Stars like Reese Witherspoon, Lucy Liu and Angelina Jolie can’t get enough of Hindmarch’s luxe bags — and now starting October 12th, so we will (at a lower price, of course). And we drooled over Naomi Watts’s innovative woven Sigerson Morrison sandals at a premiere last month — and we can look forward to similarly chic styles from the New York design team when their shoe line hits Target October 12. Images of the lines won’t be available until September, but don’t worry, we’ll definitely keep you posted! In the meantime, don’t miss the current Rogan for Target collection.

Audrey Tautou isn’t the only star to earn a coveted fragrance ambassadorship this week. Thierry Mugler has just announced that Naomi Watts will be the new face of their classic scent Angel. And for her part, Watts explains, representing the brand was a natural choice. “It was an easy decision,” she tells PEOPLE. “I think to me, the Angel woman is someone who has many faces and is not afraid to show all facets of her personality. She’s both vulnerable and strong and flirtatious and for me, I guess working as an actor you have to play all those emotions all the time.” In addition a glamorous print campaign that will launch this October, Watts has completed a commercial by Dreamgirls director Bill Condon, appropriately shot in the City of Angels. But as to whether she sees herself as angelic off the screen, the star reveals, “I think every woman likes to be thought of as angelic. Especially in the eyes of men. But I think that you shouldn’t be afraid of your strengths. And that’s exactly what I felt the first time I smelled the perfume. It’s gentle, its soft, it stays with you. It feels strong. To me, it’s not being afraid of showing who you are — embracing who you are.”

Ever since we first reported on Debra Messing’s sexy SAG Awards beauty, we’ve been counting the days until we could get our hands on the gorgeous LORAC Cosmetics Best Dressed Face Palette that helped create her look. The set, $37, which contains a selection of six gorgeous eye shadows and one rosy-bronze blush, has been seen all over the red carpet this season and is finally available to the rest of us. Celebrity makeup artist and LORAC founder, Carol Shaw, who has created red carpet looks for everyone from Nicole Kidman, to Teri Hatcher, Naomi Watts and more, explains Best Dressed’s red-carpet popularity: “Its rich earth shades are wearable and work on all women all skin tones all ages,” she explains. And we can’t wait to get that golden glow for ourselves.

Naomi Watts has a certain glow about her these days — is it how well new motherhood is agreeing with her or how fantastic her makeup is? If we can’t snag a handsome beau and a beautiful new baby, we can certainly follow these tips from her makeup artist Pati Dubroff! For the Toronto Film Festival premiere of her new movie, Eastern Promises, Pati gave Naomi what she calls a “sharp graphic” look. She focused on strong structured brows by filling in Watts’s arch with a brow pencil in blond (try this Dior Powder Brow Pencil, $24 at sephora.com). She then lined her eyes with black kohl pencil and went for dramatic lashes with several coats of black Diorshow Mascara, $24 at sephora.com. Keeping the rest of the face relatively neutral, Dubroff brushed cheeks with a soft peach color. The finishing touch was to swipe lips with Rouge Dior lipstick in Pink Fiction #631, $26 at sephora.com.

New moms need all the help they can get, and having a great diaper bag really comes in handy. After welcoming her son Alexander into the world, Naomi Watts has been toting around her Bumble Bags “Jessica” in Butter Cup Bliss. This bag converts from a backpack to a messenger bag, has a convenient fold-out changing pad and is totally water-resistant inside and out. It’s no wonder that other moms like Reese Witherspoon and Jennifer Garner have Bumble Bags too. Want one for yourself or a mom in your life? Get it for $128 with free shipping at laylagrayce.com.

Look at how great Naomi Watts looks strolling through Manhattan yesterday. In this week’s PEOPLE magazine, we learned the secret to her tip-top mom-to-be shape is pilates. But is it okay to tone your core with a baby onboard? Yes, but carefully, says Daniel Loigerot of DL Fit Pilates in New York City, who works with Naomi Watts. The actress, 38, who is expecting a baby with boyfriend Liev Schreiber in July, has kept twice-weekly sessions-even continuing to use the intimidating Reformer apparatus. "I customized a program for her," says Loigerot, who accommodates Watts’s growing bump by having her work on her side, on all fours or propped up with pillows. Before starting your own routine, check with a doctor. Loigerot offers a few tips:

Avoid exercising on your back after the second trimester. "Baby weight can compress blood vessels in the abdomen." Instead, lie on your side, sit or stand.

Don’t overstretch. "When you’re pregnant, your muscles get looser, so joint stability decreases and you can pinch a nerve."

Breathe. Getting oxygen to muscles is key, he says. "You’re breathing for two now."

Naomi Watts has been having a stylish pregnancy, and while the support she’s getting from boyfriend Liev Schreiber is helping keep her energy up, so is her adorable wardrobe! She recently dropped into Destination Maternity in New York and snagged a bunch of pieces from their in-store A Pea in the Pod boutique to keep her going. She not only picked up her peach striped t-shirt, but a blue trapeze tee and a red striped one we’ve already spotted her in. For casual days, she picked up a Vince babydoll cardigan, 7 For All Mankind Flip Flop Jeans and khaki cargo shorts. And if she wants to go out for the night with Schreiber, she also got a black cap sleeve dress by Velvet that other celeb moms like Angelina Jolie, Heidi Klum, Marcia Cross and Tori Spelling have all worn too!
