The actress Mila Kunis is extremely happy about her new sex-symbol status and loves that so many men find her attractive.
For those that don’t know, you may (your boyfriend definitely will) remember her from her role in Black Swan, in which she had a steamy girl-on-girl scene with Natalie Portman. Mila says she’s thrilled but completely surprised that she’s now a public sex symbol.
Mila said on her new pin-up status, “It’s insane. Listen, I couldn’t be happier to get any of this, because I think it’s hysterical and it makes all my friends laugh. If somebody finds me attractive, God bless them, I think it’s fantastic.”
Mila’s certainly come a long way from voicing the dumpy teen Meg Griffin in Family Guy, that’s for sure.

Petra has a great relationship with Marchesa and often wears their creations to events
Another day, another impossibly glamorous celebrity wedding to get excited about as the sumptuously decadent fashion house Marchesa has been named as the designer who will be in charge of designing Petra Nemcova’s wedding dress.
The model is marrying the actor Jamie Belman next summer and thinks it is “nice” to have a wedding dress by a British designer – she already has a great relationship with Marchesa, having worked with them for years.
Petra opened up to the Daily Telegraph about her big wedding plans. “There are some things set in stone. The date, June 2012, is set, and it will be in England – because we both love England – and it will be in the countryside. And the dress will be designed by Marchesa. The relationship with Marchesa for me has been for many, many years, since they started, and it’s nice to be able to wear them on that special day. We still have one year to prepare so we are working on the other details.”
We absolutely can’t wait to see Petra’s dress – Marchesa has long been one of our absolutely favourite British labels for ages.

For a launch party at Selfridges, Ellie rejected the traditional cocktail dress for a vintage leather jacket with a prim high-necked blouse and hotpants that manages to be cool and sexy at the same time
Seeing the photos of Britain’s own Ellie Goulding performing at the legendary Lollapalooza Festival in the States made us swell up with national pride (which is hard to come by if you’ve been following the news in London for the past couple of days). We haven’t seen many British singers as young and fresh-faced as Ellie be so successful so quickly, so good on the girl.
Not only is the singer-songwriter super-talented but she’s got a sense of style that we really admire; she manages to fly the flag for quirky British style and nail the trends without looking too pretentious or try-hard at all. Whether she’s spotted slouching around London in a baggy T-shirt with skinny jeans or a dress for an awards ceremony, Ellie always pulls it off.
Check out the gallery above for our favourite looks of Ellie’s along with a few high-street pieces that you can use to replicate her style – we even found the actual top that she wore to Coachella this year. Don’t say we’re not good to you.

Get ready to say “Awwww”, readers, because the supermodel Miranda Kerr has admitted she thinks that love is the reason behind her beauty. Awwww!
She told Australia’s Daily Telegraph newspaper: “If you have love, first of all love and appreciation for yourself, then you are going to eat healthily and you are going to take care of yourself and exercise. When you do that, you can give so much love to other people because you have the energy to give… That’s what gives me a healthy body and a healthy soul.”
Miranda must have a lot of love in her life at the moment, as she’s recently had her first baby, seven-month old boy Flynn, with the actor and heartthrob Orlando Bloom.
Come on everyone, let’s start loving each other more – if Miranda’s right then perhaps we’ll all start getting modclling jobs with Victoria’s Secret.

Florrie
Watch this space for the new girl drummer and singer Florrie, whose Grace Kelly looks and chic sense of style have caught the attention of fashion editors and labels already. We love her fresh, clean style - plus she's beautiful too.
This weekend it was the legendary Lollapalooza Festival in Chicago, which was celebrating it’s 20th anniversary in style. We couldn’t help noticing that this year there were just as many girls rocking out onstage as there were boys – Taylor Momsen drew crowds performing with her band The Pretty Reckless, head-to-toe in sexy black leather and stockings, while elsewhere at the festival Ellie Goulding sang her heart out with an acoustic guitar and Lykke Li performed looking darkly mysterious in a leather cape-top.
I don’t know about you but I couldn’t be prouder that we have so many exciting, talented and fashion-forward female musicians at the moment. I’m coming over all riot grrl.
Above is a gallery of our favourite female musicians at the moment, who are combining a love of fashion and dressing up with a geniune talent and passion for creating music. Some are new faces, some are old favourites — naturally Florence Welch is there, for doing it Stevie Nicks-style in dramatic floaty gowns and ethereal vintage. Check it out and feel the power.

Taylor Swift looked sweet and girlish as usual in a Marilyn Monroe-style white sundress
This weekend it was the teenybopper’s Oscar night as the Teen Choice Awards took place in California. All the usual teenage Disney stars and popstrels were there, along with a few more grown-up faces.
Taylor Swift, our favourite angel-faced country-pop singer, had a great weekend as she walked away with the Ultimate Choice award along with five others, including Favourite Female Artist and Favourite Country Artist. She looked sweet and girlish in a full-skirted white halternecked dress that was more than a little bit Marilyn Monroe.
Gossip Girl‘s Blake Lively looked absolutely incredible in an unusual orange leather tailored dress that showed off her perfect figure (we hate her, we hate her, we hate her). She also took away the award for TV’s best dramatic TV actress.
The Black Eyed Peas singer Fergie didn’t take away any awards, though she gets a style award from us for her cool and youthful star-printed minidress. Neither did the Kardashians, though they were all out in force with their fiercest heels and sexiest dresses. Kim K looked amazing in a white-and-black cocktail dress with a feathered skirt.
Disney actress Selena Gomez, who is Justin Bieber’s current squeeze, looked pretty and sophisticated in a sexy gold satin cocktail dress with a draped chiffon train. We also loved Rachel Bilson’s look, who opted for a sweet and romantic look in a white ruffled Chloe dress.
Check out our gallery to see the celebrities we’ve mentioned above, along with plenty others.

Katie Holmes has admitted that she often takes inspiration from her tiny daughter Suri’s already refined luxurious sense of style.
Being the super-child of Tom Cruise and Katie Holmes, Suri has developed an expensive taste for designer dresses, ladylike handbags and high heels. (To be honest it’s no surprise that Katie digs her daughter’s style so much when little Suri dresses like a 40-year old PTA member.)
Katie said about her daughter’s budding love for fashion, “My daughter has been choosing her own outfits since she was two. We go to fabric stores and sew together … Suri is my style critic. I know I look good when Suri asks if she can have my outfit when she’s older. Suri is magical when it comes to clothes – she’s quite an artist.”

Kelly Osbourne confessed on the “Tonight Show” that if she were the future Queen of England, like Kate Middleton is, she would refuse to recycle her outfits.
The gobby “Fashion Police” presenter spoke out about Kate Middleton’s recent habit of wearing the same clothes in public more than once, which she’s been applauded for by the media.
Kelly said on the “Tonight Show”, “Well, I’m sorry, but if I had that job, I would only wear it once. If I am going to be the future bloody Queen of England, I’m going to wear that dress once, because I’m giving up the rest of my life, all of my privacy, at least I can get a new dress every day.”
It’s a nice dream but probably an expensive one, Kelly. What do you think of K-Middy’s recycled wardrobe – yay or nay? Let us know.

As if there wasn’t enough of a media storm around the heiress’ upcoming nuptials as it is, Kim Kardashian has just announced that she is going to be launching a limited edition perfume, Love by Kim Kardashian, to coincide with the big day.
Kim gushed about her new upcoming wedding, “I used to think falling in love was the most incredible feeling, but now I see there’s nothing more special than the enduring beauty of building a life with your other half and watching your love grow, each and every day.”
When we say limited edition we mean really limited – only 1000 bottles have been made for public sale, with Kim keeping her own personal bottle to wear on her wedding day. So if you want to have an expensive keepsake of this silly but amazingly entertaining day, you’ll need to get in there quick.

Rachel Bilson's style shone through in these tapered red-pink trousers, with a slouchy floral shirt and contrasting leopard-print heels. She's still got it!
Rachel Bilson’s been so quiet on the acting front recently that we completely forgot she’s one of our favourite dressers like, ever. When we spotted her cool smart-casual outfit that she wore to the CBS, the CW and the Showtime TCA Party yesterday we just knew that we’d have to do a post about it.
Clashing and contasting prints are going to be a massive trend this Autumn, something that clever Rachel has wised up to. She teamed up a sizzling pair of cerise tailored trousers with a slouchy dark floral blouse and some leopard-print Louboutins – something that on paper shouldn’t work at all but on her really, really does.
There are some pretty much identical pieces on the high street – yay! You can replicate Rachel Bilson’s amazing party outfit by looking at our picks in the gallery above.

Emma Stone looked cool and edgy arriving at the Late Show in a simple black mini-dress with stonking great heels
Today’s an apple pie-loving American special as we take a peek at who’s been papped over the pond.
Appearing on the Late Show in New York were both our very own Cat Deeley and the beautiful Emma Stone. Cat Deeley was rocking a Barbarella ’60s vibe in a very form-fitting silver shift dress with very teased blonde tresses, while Emma opted for a simple black bell-sleeved mini with absolutely giant heels for an effect that was edgy, sexy and a little bit Birkin-esque. There are rumours that Emma’s been getting close to her Spiderman co-star Andrew Garfield. Watch this space..
TCA were throwing a big bash with Rachel Bilson, Kristen Bell and Claire Danes in attendance. It was a pleasure to see Rachel again – where’s she been lately? Anyway, she put all the celebrities dressed up to the nines to shame as she rocked smart-casual in a coral pink pair of jeans with a sweet floral shirt and a patent clutch. More dressed-up was Kristen, who looked sexy in a black corseted-dress to show off her tiny waist, while the Romeo + Juliet star Claire Danes looked romantic in a Grecian draped number.
Nicole Sherzinger was spotted performing at the infamous Hard Rock Cafe in Hollywood for Kiss FM, looking fierce in black-and-red feathers and some scary-looking black ankle boots. Elsewhere in California, Eva Longoria was seen looking polished in simple skinny jeans and Louboutins with a shiny mane to rival our Kate Middleton’s. How does she do it?
Finally, the Disney teeny-bopper Ashley Tisdale was seen at the première for the new Phineas & Ferb film looking extremely grown-up in a sheeny Aztec-printed minidress. She’s certainly not a kid anymore!

Outfit 1. Topshop Blue Peony Print Silk Shorts
For a hot holiday lunch out these elegant high-waisted Topshop shorts are an elegant base to build an outfit.
The end of summer isn’t too far away now, and August is the last month of year where we jet off somewhere far hotter in the hopes of coming back skinnier with a tan. Yesterday I was looking at the fashion dilemmas we face during the summer’s wedding season, but today it’s all about the last-minute holiday.
Normally when I go on holiday I pack my entire wardrobe, only to wear the same thing for the entire week because I’ve realised I hate all my summer clothes. Next time I’ve decided I’m going to invest in a few pieces that will see me right for the week, and be adaptable for different occasions.
The Topshop silk blue shorts in the first outfit above are absolutely perfect. Wear them with a lightweight blouse for European elegance on holiday, or with a tuxedo jacket and heels for parties this Autumn. Another favourite find are the mocha-coloured palazzo pants in outfit number two, which will still be wearable next season. The seventies trend is still going strong!
Check out the gallery above for three ideal holiday outfits.

Anyone who’s got Royal Wedding blues (it’s all over! waaaaah!) should cheer up, because Kim Kardashian’s kindly televising her ridiculously OTT wedding to fiance Kris Humphries.
It may not be in Westminster Abbey, and there may not be an angelic choir singing “Jerusalem”, but I’ll bet we’ll see at least one chihuahua in a dress. The nuptials will be shown over two nights as part of the television special “Kim’s Fairytale Wedding: A Kardashian Event”.
We reckon there’ll be better guests than the Royal Wedding too. Instead of various Earls we haven’t heard of, Justin Bieber probably be there. A source said on the Hollywood happening: “There’s no location yet, but Kim is already invited at least 1,000, and the list is getting longer. The original idea was to have a wedding on each coast, but she now wants one huge wedding. She’ll probably reveal where the ceremony is. She hopes to make a huge entrance. She’s having guests sign confidentiality agreements.”
The ceremony is taking place later this month and I can’t wait..

Christina's been slated for her recent weight gain, but she looks fine to us- what do you think?
There’s major beef going down, as Kelly Osbourne has once again publicly insulted a celebrity – this time her target is the Burlesque actress and singer Christina Aguilera, whose figure has become a little fuller recently.
Kelly laid into the star as a member of the judging panel on the E!’s Fashion Police show, where she had to pass comment on a photograph of Christina wearing a tight black dress.
She said: “Maybe she’s just becoming the fat bitch she was always born to be. I don’t know. She was a **** to me. She called me fat for so many f**king years, so you know what? F**k you, you’re fat too.” BEEF.
The comedian Joan Rivers, famous for her acid tongue, also chimed in likening Xtina to Snooki from Jersey Shore, adding, “She looks like Snooki’s Scandinavian cousin. It’s a pretty dress but she’s stuffed into it.” And for Joan, that’s pretty mild.
Quick Christina, think of something mean to say and tweet it right now! We love a good celebrity spat.
