After six years at urban clothing line Rocawear — she's now married to its cofounder, music mogul Damon Dash — designer Rachel Roy launched her own high-end label inspired by her full-bodied fashion idols Ava Gardner and Marilyn Monroe. The line was instantly coveted by strong, curvy women like Jessica Biel and Oprah, and Roy is now promoting it 24/7. Here, the beauty ammo that gets her from day to night.

OLD SCHOOL: Nivea Creme
"I bypass hair products altogether — they are just too drying — and use this rich body cream to tame my locks."

HOLD EVERYTHING: Nancy Gonzalez Handbag
"Most of my bags can multitask and make the switch from day to evening. I'm loving a lot from Nancy Gonzalez's new collection. They're classic with a twist, just like me."

PIN UP: Goody Bobby Pins
"When I'm going out, I like my hair up in a bun, and these do the trick."

XXLUXE: Carolina Herrera Body Lotion
"If I want to take my scent up a notch for evening, I slather this on."
