The Magic Belt: Bulges, Be Gone!
Filed under: Accessories, Daily Obsession
Almost all celebs have a professional stylist--or two--who won't leave home without double stick tape to avoid nip slips. These pros know to dab white wine on still-wet merlot to prevent staining that perfect ensemble. And they always have convertible bras in their kits to banish visible straps on their famous clients.
And now the new Invisibelt (www.invisibelt.com) is becoming a must-have backstage at fashion shows and on the red carpet. Invented by former beauty editor and mom-of-one Kathy Kramer (who rocks a teensy waist and a juicy rear view), this adjustable clear belt (sizes 0-14; $19.99) is undetectable under fitted tops to give a super slim silhouette. "I invented the Invisibelt out of personal need. My pants were always a smidge too big in the waist and it wasn't practical to have every pair altered. Whenever I wore a belt the buckle created a bulky bulge under my top," she says. So celebs are just like us: We all want a whittled waist, not extra bulges! Off the record, Beyonce owns one. And as this picture says, that girl wears jeans like, well, a rock star.

They will be sold in stores, starting in September, under the name Edie Rose.
Most musicians know a good thing when they see it. And by "good thing", I mean "way to milk the cow completely bone-dry." Rihanna, riding the massive success of her single "Umbrella," is doing just that by joining forces with Totes to release her own line of -- you guessed it -- umbrellas. The
