Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has created a lingerie range for Marks & Spencer.
The 25-year-old model - who is the face of the high street chain - is "very excited" to have designed her first ever collection, entitled Rosie for Autograph, which will feature 33 pieces including French knickers, camisoles and silk lingerie sets.
"M&S is an iconic British brand, adored by many so I'm very excited to be launching my debut lingerie line with them. I thoroughly enjoyed collaborating with the design team to create my dream collection and I'm looking forward to a fun and creative time ahead," she said.

Selena Gomez says her first fragrance campaign is "very sensual." The singer-and-actress is wearing a sexy purple dress while she is submerged in water in the ad for the self-titled perfume and she is thrilled with the results.
"The water is actually lit from underneath, so it made it look pink and purple, like the colors of the bottle. I wanted it to look like I was swimming in my fragrance. It's very romantic, very sensual. But it's fun and beautiful at the same time. I don't really understand why I decided to be underwater [in the ad] but it looked cool!" she told People.

Eva Green Gets Depressed by Diets
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty,
Eva Green gets "depressed" if she is on a diet. The Dark Shadows actress was once told she had to lose weight for a role, but found going on an all-soup eating plan made her miserable and she couldn't do it again.
"Before my first film, the casting director asked me to lose some weight, saying, 'On screen you're going to look much fatter.' I started drinking soups and then I was like, 'I can't do it, I can't go on a diet.' It's hell, it makes you very depressed - food is so important to me. I couldn't go on."
Eva admits she feels like an "ugly duckling" in Hollywood, but would not undergo cosmetic surgery to improve how she felt about herself: "It's not all about physique and how beautiful you look. In this business actors who have Botox or surgery make you very aware of age. It's awful. In Los Angeles, I feel like the ugly duckling, like I'm from Venus or something."

Nicole Richie Isn’t Fussed by Labels
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Nicole Richie isn't bothered about fashion labels. The fashion designer - who is renowned for her sense of style - says she chooses clothes on whether she likes them not by how much they cost.
"I shop at more expensive stores and I also shop at thrift stores. Most of my vintage T-shirts and peasant dresses, they're like $10. There's not a specific store that I go to or any label that I'm obsessed with buying," she said.
Nicole - who is a mentor on reality TV show Fashion Star - says she often falls in love with certain items of clothing and finds it difficult to get rid of them: "Fashion is a form of self expression and it's really about how an article of clothing makes you feel. If I like a dress that I'm wearing, I will wear it until it's falling off of me and someone's like, 'You've got to take off that dress.'"
The mother-of-two recently revealed how she lets her mood dictate her style. Talking about choosing clothing for her role as a mentor on Fashion Star, she said, "It all depends on my mood for the day that I'm filming. I don't have my outfits planned out at all, it really just depends on my mood and where I am on that day."
Carrie Underwood accidentally bought a $2,000 sweatshirt which she has only worn twice. The 29-year-old singer admits she did not understand European pricing when she first became famous and mistakenly purchased the expensive garment.
"My first stupid purchase was an accident. I was in Paris and went into one of those big, name-brand, fancy-schmancy designers, and I picked up a sweatshirt. Maybe I didn't understand the price tag. I'm really bad with numbers. But when I went to check out, that sucker was $2,000. It's not cashmere but thicker than cotton. I've worn it twice."
The country singer comes from a working class background, and she admits it has had an impact on how she has grown up because she rarely make pricey purchases: "Country music is for real people. I think it would be very hard to write about my Louboutins. Do you know what I mean? My giant house, it's not relatable. But my husband came from a small town and hardworking parents like I did, and I don't think we've lost that mind-set. We don't have a bowling alley in our basement. We don't have houses on the beach and one in New York and one in Los Angeles. I drive a three-year-old Ford Escape Hybrid. We don't care about stuff like that."
Kristen Stewart is World’s Best Dressed
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, News,
Kristen Stewart has been voted the world's best dressed woman.
The Twilight actress topped a poll by Britain's Glamour magazine and was praised by the publication for her progression from "awkward teen to style queen" and for always being "effortlessly on-trend."
Kristen beat last year's winner Emma Watson, with the Harry Potter star managing a respectable second place while Victoria Beckham came third. The singer-turned-fashion designer shot up 12 places from last year with the magazine praising the "adorable co-ordinating looks" she shares with "her new favorite accessory" - nine-month-old daughter Harper.
Britain's Duchess Catherine was honored for her classic and stylish fashion sense with fourth place. "The Duchess of Cambridge's classic elegance has set the high street alight, causing both Zara and Reiss to sell out of her favorite pieces," the magazine said.

Betsey Johnson Files for Bankruptcy
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Fashion Designers, News,
Betsey Johnson has filed for bankruptcy.
The designer - who showcased her latest collection at New York Fashion Week in February - used the Chapter 11 US Bankruptcy to file her case and although she will remain creative director of her brand, the majority of its 63 stores and 350 employees will lose their jobs.
"The decision to seek protection under Chapter 11 comes after months of rigorously pursuing alternative restructuring arrangements to address Betsey Johnson LLC's cash-flow problems. After exhausting our resources and possibilities, it became apparent that neither a restructuring arrangement with a new equity investor nor a sale of the business enterprise as a going concern outside of bankruptcy was to be forthcoming. Accordingly, our board made the determination that a Chapter 11 store-closing process will likely be the best way to maximise the value of the company's assets, for the benefit of its creditors," said the company's LLC chief financial officer, Jonathan Friedman.

Mena Suvari’s Fresh Food Beauty Tip

Mena Suvari has great skin because she eats so much fresh food.
The American Reunion star is considered one of the most beautiful women in Hollywood, and she says her beauty regime is based on diet first, then cosmetics: "My father was European so there was always fresh food in the house. People get caught up in trying to treat themselves from the outside in and it's really about what you do on the inside."
Mena lives a very healthy lifestyle and doesn't drink alcohol anymore. Instead, the 33-year-old actress prefers to spend her evenings at home relaxing: "I like staying at home. I've definitely been there, done that I don't drink anymore and I don't really go out. For me, I know what works."
Olivia Wilde Won’t Pluck Her Eyebrows
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Hairstyles, Health & Beauty,
Olivia Wilde refuses to pluck her eyebrows.
The 28-year-old actress - who is a global ambassador for cosmetics brand Revlon - says that when it comes to her face-framing brows, she prefers the natural look.
"I do not tweeze my eyebrows. I've been letting them grow out for years. I try to fill them in wherever nature has abandoned me. I've been going for a slightly lighter shade of brow color lately, with my lighter hair. I just fill in under the arch and soften them up a bit. My natural brows are quite pointy. I soften them so I look less like some evil Disney queen!"
The former brunette recently lightened her locks to blonde, but admits the coloring process has taken its toll on her hair: "I am really enjoying being a blonde. And I've also been letting my bangs grow out. [But] since the color, my hair has been a little dryer, so I have to kick it up a notch in terms of hair care."
With a hectic working schedule, Olivia relies on a simple, daily regime to keep her skin in top condition. "I just make sure to remove the makeup thoroughly at the end of the day. I usually wash my face twice. First, to remove all the makeup, and then again to really give my face a good scrub. I like to get it clean at the end of a workday on set, using a good hot towel. When I don't have to wear makeup, I don't, in order to give my skin a rest."
