Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
- Despite the fact that her face has graced plenty of magazine covers and campaign advertisements, Scarlett Johansson reveals in her V Magazine interview that she goes into hair and makeup “like this perfectly prepared sausage.” Does she really think that we’re going to buy that bologna?
- It was only a matter of time after seeing Lady Gaga sport those McQueen lobster claw platforms that we knew she was destined to don the heel-less Nina Ricci creations. Voila! The chic songstress was spotted wearing them at the Museum of Modern Art. That lady sure nows how to pick her shoes accordingly.
- Model Agyness Deyn joins forces with her sister Emily for a T-shirt line in collaboration with Uniqlo’s UT Project. Catch the designs quickly—the line is oh-so-surprisingly a limited-edition.
- Fashionista Vanessa Traina is rumored to have been snapped up in Paris by photographer Benoit Peverelli for Louis Vuitton’s Pre-Fall 2010 campaign.
- So we knew that the Mulleavy sisters of Rodarte always called themselves losers, but we never honestly knew how interesting they really are… until now. Kate recently revealed that her first knitting project was for a girl’s pet lizard. I don’t know about you, but that seems like it’s got to take a lot of talent—a lizard?

Must-Have Miniskirts
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News, Women, Bottoms, Skirts,
Listen up, ladies! Rachel Zoe says miniskirts are the must-have fashion item of the moment.
The celebrity stylist is a huge fan of shorter hemlines as she thinks they help flatter figures, but also has some advice for women who would prefer to cover up in jeans: “Mini is the length that’s happening right now. Shorter skirts elongate legs. But if you want most of your legs covered, add turn-ups to a boyfriend jean to expose a bit of the ankle. With a skinny jean, scrunch them up your calves.
Blazers are still big news this season, and Rachel recommends giving them a personal touch, saying, “The sleeves are the boxiest bit, so bunch them up to taper them. Pin a brooch in the back to tighten it up and give it a little bit of flavor.”
As for hair, Rachel - who has worked with a host of celebrities including Cameron Diaz and Demi Moore - advises not going too styled as a messy look gives a great contrast. She told Britain’s Glamour magazine, “Don’t dress like you’re in a beauty pageant - if you’re in a super glamorous gown, mess up your hair a little bit.”
Daisy Lowe doesn’t care if her clothes offend anyone.
The 21-year-old model - daughter of Pearl Lowe and rocker Gavin Rossdale - likes to experiment with her look and enjoys wearing outfits which aren’t always to everyone’s taste. Daisy - who would happily wear a purple bra to dinner and mix vintage Victorian camisoles with high street pieces - said, “I thought the whole point was to have fun with clothes? Sorry if that offends anyone.”
As well as experimenting with her own look, Daisy and her friends also indulge in a bit of dressing up. She told Britain’s Vogue magazine, “Most of my friendships stem from high school. My friends and I like to play fairy games and dress up.”
The brunette beauty has previously posed nude on two occasions and says she’s has no regrets about it. She said, “The female form is a beautiful thing. People are like, ‘Oh, you get naked all the time.’ I got naked twice - just twice - and yes, maybe that’s twice too many, but I think that women’s bodies are great. I don’t want to do pornos! It’s a tasteful thing.”
Glamorous Victoria Beckham

Posh has been named the World’s Most Glamorous Celebrity!
The former Spice Girl-turned-fashion designer beat Dannii Minogue to top the table of stylish women in a poll of UK females by make-up brand Max Factor, which marks the launch of the firm’s Vibrant Curve Effect Lip Gloss.
“Victoria Beckham has been gracing the fashion pages for years now with her glamorous looks and she has designed her own clothes range. She never leaves home without being fully made up and her signature glossy pout has become her calling card.”
The spokesperson also revealed how pregnant Dannii’s standing in the poll shot up after she appeared in a number of chic outfits last year when sitting on the judging panel of UK talent show The X Factor. He added, “Dannii Minogue has become more popular after showcasing a wide range of glamorous looks on The X Factor.”
There was no sign of Dannii’s co-judge Cheryl Cole, however, as pillow-lipped beauty Angelina Jolie completed the top three in the poll, which asked the opinions of 3,000 women.
Celebrities, Models Crazy for Cats
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, Models, News,
Big cat T-shirts are set to be a huge trend this season. A host of celebrities - including Daisy Lowe, Taylor Momsen, Ashley Tisdale and Frankie Sandford - have been donning the feline print tops in recent weeks and they are now set to take the fashion world by storm.
Following on from winter’s leopard print trend, the cat patterns give the look a fresh feel and look great under blazers, teamed with leggings and denim. One fashion insider said, “Big cat T-shirts are a continuation of winter’s leopard print trend. They’re the micro-trend of the moment and make you look really confident. They also look great with all the big summer looks, like denim shorts and leggings.”
Another look set to take off is tribal prints, with Nicola Roberts, Naomi Campbell and Kim Kardashian all wearing them recently. In order to pull-off the look, wearers must be quite bold with their choices and not worry about being perfectly matching.

Model Mother Adriana Lima
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Model Adriana Lima finds being a mother is much more rewarding than her day job.
The Victoria’s Secret beauty gave birth to daughter Valentina in November and is enjoying every moment of parenthood and can’t believe the feelings of love she has for her little girl.
“The best job in the world for me is being a mum. I never thought I could love so much. I always thought, does unconditional love exist? Now I know it does because I feel it. It’s really changed me completely. I am, in my head, more mature, more secure. And, you know, it changed completely the priorities in my life. You feel so strong. It’s such a wonderful feeling.”

Taylor Swift Inspired by Stylish Fans
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Country-pop darling Taylor Swift gets her style inspiration from her fans.
The “Love Story” singer - who was recently named as the new face of cosmetic brand CoverGirl - says she looks at what other girls are wearing and gets ideas from them.
“I’m a big people-watcher. When I see a girl walking down the street wearing a really cool necklace or an outfit that’s put together in a way I wouldn’t have thought of, it’s inspiring to me. Also, girls come through my meet and greet lines every night wearing dresses or outfits I love. That’s really my favorite way to be inspired by fashion.”
Taylor, 20, was thrilled to sign-up to front the CoverGirl campaigns as make-up is something she has always loved as it can transform her look: “I love make-up. When I go on stage, I get to play with my look and try on all kinds of different colors - try red lips tonight, purple eyeshadow tomorrow. You get to play around with all these different characters, and I think that’s one of my favorite things about makeup - you can put on a new character.”
Although she is promoting cosmetics, Taylor has no plans to launch a clothing range. “I’m not planning on a fashion line right now. I’m really wrapped up in recording and writing my next album, so I’ve only taken on a few extra things lately. I love fashion and dressing up for red carpets, but I want to wait until I have enough time to dedicate to something like that.”
Kate Moss has commissioned Banksy to paint a mural in her mansion.
The supermodel - who recently splashed out on a top-of-the-range sauna and steam room for her $10.7 million north London home - is paying the British guerrilla artist $230,000 to create a custom-made “eclectic” painting of her on a wall inside her home.
“Kate is a big fan of Banksy and has several prints of his, plus a few originals, at her home. He has even done a portrait of Moss herself (picture to right). She explained exactly what she wanted and Banksy gave her a quote. It wasn’t cheap. Kate asked for an entire wall to be painted, showing Kate on the catwalk at all stages of her career - from a fresh-faced 16 year old to her last appearance earlier this year. It is pretty eclectic. Banksy has even been given a set of keys so he can let himself in,” a source said.
The 36-year-old catwalk beauty - who has asked for the painting to also feature a number of well known faces including her friends Sadie Frost, Naomi Campbell and Lily Allen - expects the artwork to increase the value of her home. The source added to the Daily Mirror, “Kate hopes the Banksy artwork, in addition to the work in her loft, will at least add $306,000 to the value of her house. She has thought all this through and hopes to make a considerable profit when she eventually sells up.”
