Mark Humphrey/AP Country music’s first couple, Tim McGraw and Faith Hill , are making beautiful music together again — with a new fragrance duet. Soul2Soul, which is comprised of a woodsy His and a floral Hers scent, was inspired by their joint 2000 tour of the same name. “When our fans think of us together, besides thinking of family, they probably do think about their experience with [the tour],” McGraw tells WWD . “It was important to us to give them something that was familiar.” Though both husband and wife have had their experience concocting scents — McGraw’s first scent with Coty Beauty launched in August 2008; Hill’s first followed in October 2009 — this is the first time they’ve put their noses together. “I like the collaborative process with her, for sure,” McGraw says, ultimately giving Hill the credit for the finished product: “I get to a certain point and finally just say, ‘What do you think, Faith?’” And though McGraw claims his scent is for the type of guy who’s “going out on the weekend to have a few beers to [the] guy going out on a nice dinner with his wife,” his understanding of the delicate process belies the tough-guy act. “There’s a science to it, but it’s really, truly almost like baking,” he explains

INF Rumer Willis has admitted to raiding mom Demi Moore ‘s closet in the past, but there’s one item she can’t ever get away with borrowing: shoes. “She’s a size-and-a-half smaller than me in shoes, so I can’t wear any of them,” she told PEOPLE recently at Arcade Boutique’s second annual Autumn Party at the London in West Hollywood. “It’s kind of a bummer.” However, Willis wouldn’t necessarily want to be in her mom’s Jimmy Choos and Christian Louboutins all the time anyway: the actress said she doesn’t wear heels during the day very often

Carlos Delgado/AP; Inset: Michael Kovac/WireImage Ali Larter was so eager to chop several inches off of her hair recently that she took her tresses even shorter over the weekend.

Speaking to PEOPLE on Saturday during the Tailgate, Larter said her new look is “definitely” more work. “But it’s fun, too,” she countered. “It feels chic, and I love putting on clothes and kind of having a new look and experimenting with that

Robin Marchant/Getty “I consider myself extremely preppy,” stylist Brad Goreski tells PEOPLE. “I always have been. I’ve been looking at a lot of my baby pics, and I’m always in a three-piece suit and bowtie.” Thanks to that association with all things preppy — which he defines as “plaid, seersucker, stripes, polka dots and oxford” — Goreski was recently tapped to promote Tommy Hilfiger’s new Eau de Prep, scents for men and women in Macy’s stores now. Goreski says he counts fragrances as accessories; they “put the finishing touch” on an outfit. “It’s the last thing you put on before you go out the door,” he explains. “People see you, but you also want people to smell you.
