Elizabeth Hurley Admits Maintaining Beauty is Hard
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models,
Former model and actress Elizabeth Hurley admits it’s harder to look good as you get older.
The 44-year-old, who hosted Harper’s Bazaar‘s “Fabulous At Every Age” party in New York last Thursday, says it’s important for women over a certain age to spend more time on their appearance as they need to make more effort to look stunning.
“When you’re older, you have to have your hair cut regularly, you have to pluck your eyebrows regularly, you have to stay slim, and you have to exercise more. So if you don’t give up, you stand out more.”
The Estée Lauder beauty also denied she had undergone plastic surgery to maintain her looks: “Don’t be ridiculous, I look so much more than that and, no, no surgery, not yet. I really don’t have a beauty regime. The only thing I do - obviously - is pluck my eyebrows because I would look like Denis Healey if I didn’t. There is a huge change in your metabolism after 40, and for the first time ever I am having to watch what I eat because I’m quite greedy by nature.”

Kardashian Sisters Plan Skin Care Collection
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News, Sales,
Continuing on with their entrepreneurial empire, the Kardashian sisters are launching a skincare line.
As well as signing a five-year contract to design clothing for fashion retailer Bebe, the reality family are moving into beauty.
Mum Kris Jenner revealed, “Me and my girls are working on our on skin care line that should be out in the spring.”
Her daughter Kim, 29 - who shot to fame with the family on the show Keeping Up With The Kardashians - will also launch a perfume for beauty store Sephora in February: “I am so excited about my fragrance. The scent took me a long time to perfect and it’s finally here.”
The Kardashian family are not the first celebrities to create their own skin care range. Last year, Heidi Klum launched her line In An Instant, while model Miranda Kerr releases her organic skin care range, Kora, in Australia this week.
Amber Rose Represents Real Women
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors, Women,
Ever wonder what kind of conversation model Amber Rose had with Ford Models when they signed her? Well, now we don’t have to wonder so much—Rose dished some tidbits at the Elle Women in Hollywood Awards.
“I told them, Don’t ask me to grow out my hair or lose any weight. I want to represent real women who have curves.”
Right, because real women can pull off the shaved head look! So what about those tattoos?
Well, she revealed to blogger Elizabeth Snead that she promised Ford to not get any more ink done—until her contract is up, that is.
Oh Amber Rose—you’re so rebellious! No wonder Kanye West loves you so much. Much unlike Kanye, however, Rose has a sense of humor. When host Alec Baldwin jokingly alluded to her boyfriend’s infamous VMA incident, the runway model giggled a bit.
As if anyone can resist Mr. Baldwin’s charm…

Miranda Kerr Works Intensely
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
As if we didn’t know that models have quite the workload, Miranda Kerr wants to proclaim that no one else could handle her “intense” schedule.
The Australian supermodel, who is dating actor Orlando Bloom, has revealed her grueling workload can takes its toll on her health and private life.
“I work six days a week, 15 hours a day—and that’s not a joke. I’m generally in two different countries a week. And anyone else who had my schedule would probably fall apart. To be honest with you, it’s really intense. People don’t realize the extent of how hard I work, because they see it as just glitz and glamour. At the same time I am so grateful for it all, but it doesn’t give me a lot of downtime.”
Miranda sparked health concerns after being pictured looking shockingly frail at a swimwear shoot in Sydney last week. The 26-year-old star, who is planning to release a book on nutrition this year, says she stays in shape by following a diet based on her blood type.

Rimmel Recruits Coco Rocha and Georgia Jagger
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Women,
Step aside, Grandma
Kate Moss—rock daughter Georgia Jagger and it girl Coco Rocha are signing their faces away to represent cosmetic giant Rimmel London.
Set to front the Spring/Summer ‘10 campaign, the pair sound like a bit of an odd coupling; however, senior vice president of global marketing at Coty Beauty Stephen Mormoris doesn’t think so:
“We needed a wider palette of faces to show the makeup results of our new products… Rimmel embodies the London look, which is very resonant with young people all over the world who look to London as a centre of multiculturalism and freedom of expression.”
It’s obvious why Rocha was brought on board; Jagger was picked for being “edgy, experimental and provocative.” I’m sure it has nothing to do with her parentage…
Mormoris also revealed that the company plans to bring three more models to the campaign by January—guaranteeing that each will be of different ethnic background. We’ll be keeping you to your word, Mormoris.

Quote of the Day: Lily Cole on Failure
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models,
“I’ve never studied the correlation between the decades of plenty and the size of models, but it’s interesting, for sure. I was never asked to lose weight. I’m assuming people who are less successful are the ones who are told they need to be teeny to be so.”
- UK size 6 model Lily Cole on why other models haven’t found the same success she has met (oh, to wonder what Flippa Hamilton would say!).

Karl Lagerfeld Defends Thin Models
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Women,
Living fashion icon Karl Lagerfeld has blasted “fat mummies” for their attitudes against skinny models.
The 71-year-old Chanel designer criticized Brigitte magazine’s announcement that they will only use “ordinary, realistic” models in future, insisting that people prefer looking at slim women and the “absurd” decision was driven by overweight women who did not want to be reminded of their body problems.
“These are fat mummies sitting with their bags of crisps in front of the television, saying that thin models are ugly. Fashion is all about dreams and illusions, and no one wants to see round women.”
Another designer, John Ribbe, has also spoken out, saying the row over models’ weight is becoming hysterical: “It’s just as much a cliche as saying that all models take drugs and get drunk at sex orgies. Ninety per cent of them are quite normal, properly proportioned girls with less fat and more muscles who also eat pizzas and burgers.”
Brigitte are planning to release their first edition with non-professional models on January 2nd and are urging readers to sign up for photo sessions, saying that they are tired of having to “fatten up” pictures. Editor Andrea Lebert said, “We will show women that have their own identity—the 18-year-old A-level student, the company chairwoman, the musician, the footballer.”
Eva Longoria Unrecognizable on Magazine Cover
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,
Channeling a touch of Lady Gaga and a splash of a mod-inspired superhero, it’s hard to recognize Eva Longoria on this Fall’s issue of French magazine Citizen K.
Shot by photographer Ruven Afanador, the Desperate Housewives star seems to have pulled off an Italian Vogue Rihanna, posing in an array of various futuristic costumes.
Maybe she’s just cuing some tips from fashionable friend Victoria Beckham:
“Victoria and I are in similar circumstances when it comes to our husbands. I admire the wife and mother that she is and, at the same time, this glamorous beautiful businesswoman. That’s what I aspire to be.”
Whatever it is that inspired her to experiment, I say keep it up, Eva!

Naomi, Claudia, and Eva Smell and Look Good
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Approaching the age of 40 doesn’t stop supermodels Naomi Campbell, Eva Herzigova, and Claudia Schiffer from looking fabulous.
The trio showed up to Milan Fashion Week to promote the Dolce & Gabbana Perfumes Collection, for which they had previously appeared in the D&G Anthology ad campaign.
Turns out that the folks at Dolce & Gabbana went for an androgynous theme—all five scents are not gender specific. In fact, each of them are named after Tarot cards and represented by a different model.
“We chose Claudia, Naomi, and Eva for the iconic value they have in the minds of everybody,” Domenico Dolce said.
“They are icons, not just for young women but older women too. Sometimes they are better known than actresses. People need to create icons, to see people they recognize.” Stefano Gabbana added. I couldn’t agree with them more!
