For his latest creation, Oscar de la Renta went by the books — literally!
The designer teamed up with author Kelly Florio Kasouf to design the Sophie Party Dress ($295) to celebrate her new children’s book, The Super Adventures of Sophie and the City: Grand Central Escapades.
Part of his spring 2013 line, the pretty frock captures the title character’s whimsical and adventurous spirit with its wondrous watercolor design. The vibrant hues also mimic the illustrations from the book, which is a true page turner.
But Sophie’s mini makeover wasn’t complete without a little sparkle. Jewelry designer Lulu Frost created a personalized purple cameo necklace, as well as three separate charm sets that reflect her experiences exploring the Big Apple.

Now that she’s a mom, Alicia Keys knows that books, music and art have the makings of cool kids’ play — especially in the digital world. That’s why the singer and songwriter launched a new animated children’s app, The Journals of Mama Mae and LeeLee ($4) for the iPad, iPhone and iTouch.
“Right around the time I had Egypt, I realized I wanted to get into the children’s space. I felt like it would be such an interesting thing to have music span different cultures and sounds,” Keys tells PEOPLE.
