BOOTYLICIOUS babes can rest assured their generous assets will fit comfortably in fall’s new crop of denim.
Levi’s brand-new Red Tab Curvy Cut 528 jeans ($44 at jcpenney.com), which hits stores next month, are smaller at the waist with more room for hips and butt. The jeans are also higher in the back than they are in the front, which helps prevent against unsightly gaping. Express also has a special curvy jeans section in its denim area, which boasts its X2 jeans in multiple washes and fits. The X2 is perfect for women with bigger hips and smaller waists.
Fidelity jeans ($140-$206 at revolveclothing.com), worn by Vanessa Minnillo and Eva Longoria, liken their pockets to bras for your butt – they’re positioned right in the middle of each cheek, and the curved stitching mimics the way a bra supports and lifts your boobs.
J.Lo’s new line, justsweet, comes tried and tested by the best – her lady lumps looked amazing when she wore them during her “American Idol” appearance in April. The new line retails for $59-$89 and hits Macy’s stores next month.

Obsessions of the week
* Pretty boys: Stop pretending that elderflower toner in your basket is for your girlfriend – there is something for every man in the way of beauty this season. Hint: Father’s Day is Sunday.
Fancy-pants fashion-savvy boys will love Dior Homme’s new Dermo System, a high-tech-looking, sleekly packaged four-piece skin-care kit. Must-have products: the eye serum and moisturizer ($51 and $62 at Dior Homme, 17 E. 57th St., [212] 412-6009).
Down-to-earth hipsters will adore Aveda Men’s Pure-formance shampoo and conditioner ($18 each at aveda.com), specially formulated to clean men’s scalps, which are thicker than women’s and, on average, produce twice as much oil.
Sporty types who yearn for babyfaced Derek Jeter’s clean-shaven pretty-boy mug will flip for Jeter’s eponymous line of skin care, produced in conjunction with Avon. We recommend the shave gel and SPF15 moisturizer ($6 and $15 at avon.com).
* Hook, line, no sinker: Don’t put that $1,000 “It” bag on the barroom floor – keep your belongings away from foot traffic and creepy crawlies by popping them onto the pocket-sized Hollywood Purse Hook, a marvel of modern engineering on which you can hang handbags, umbrellas, jackets and even small dogs. Watch the kind-of-hilarious informational video and order two for a tenner at hollywoodpursehook.com.
* Belt it out: When we saw Rihanna perform at “Good Morning America” ‘s concert series we flipped for her belt. It was wide enough to cover a generous part of our tummies and cool enough to pair with well, everything. Get Seril’s patent and plastic wide belt for $195 at (800) 669-8218.
* Beauty booty: British beauty guru Nicky Kinnaird opened the U.K.’s first Space NK apothecary in 1993 and, almost overnight, the boutique became a raging success – attracting the likes of Cate Blanchett, Keira Knightley and Kylie Minogue to London’s ultimate one-stop shop for cult beauty items. Today, Space NK opens its first flagship stateside. The SoHo store will stock 50 hard-to-find brands including Eve Lom (her cleansing cream, $85, is prized the world over), Solange Azagury perfume, and Zelens skin care, an all-natural line of creams developed by a Harvard and Oxford-educated skin cancer specialist. Space NK is at 99 Greene St., (212) 941-4200, spacenk.com
