On MJB's feet are these Christian Louboutin bloody mary ankle boots. I like Mary's Gucci monogram clutch. Mary can be seen in the nation-wide "The Love Soul" tour with Robin Thicke.

At The Madison Room in New York Palace, Kimora Lee Simmons launched her new fragrance, "Baby Phat: Fabulosity". Selita Ebanks and Kimora's assistant BJ Coleman were at hand for the event.

Kimora spoke with PEOPLE.COM about her boyfriend Djimon Hounsou's Calvin Klein billboard that can be seen in Hong Kong.

"He's really big," Simmons, 32, said of Hounsou's underwear ad, which Calvin Klein's reps claims is the largest in Asia. "We were just there when it went up. Isn't it a great billboard?"

The Life in the Fab Lane star – who split from mogul Russell Simmons in 2006 and recently denied reports she's expecting – couldn't help but admire her beau's sleek physique (Hounsou is seen only in a pair of tightie whities). She boasted, "He's the biggest one in the world, honey."
