Christina Aguilera goes back to basics in her shoot for Marie Claire

By Andrea Petrou on February 10th, 2010

Christina Aguilera for Marie Claire.jpg
Christina Aguilera has undergone a range of style changes since she popped onto our screens all those years ago.

She’s gone from fresh-faced girl next door to dark haired (and sometimes scary).

However, it seems she’s found her perfect look in these pictures for Marie-Claire.

The singer, shot by Peggy Sirota, poses in minimal make-up, which highlights her striking eyeliner in a range of different outfits including a bodysuit and cute sequined dress, which are dressed up with accessories.

We love the singer’s shoot and hope she’ll keep the style going.

First looks: Gisele snapped out with her baby Benjamin Brady

By Andrea Petrou on February 10th, 2010

Benjamin brady.jpg

His mum’s a supermodel and his father’s equally gorgeous so we weren’t expecting anything less than cute from Gisele Bündchen’s baby boy.

The 2 month old tot, who was born on December 8, and is the first child for the supermodel and the second for her husband,Tom Brady, made his first magazine appearance for Brazilian mag Quem, where he’s pictured in his mum’s arms while she was in Boston.

Wrapped up warm in a cute blue babygrow, it seems as though Benjamin Brady has taken after his father American footballer father, and if we’re honest we may now just be a tiny bit broody.

Emma Watson for V Magazine

By Andrea Petrou on February 4th, 2010


Emma Watson’s come along way from her Harry Potter days, taking on a range of modelling jobs and designing a collection for ethical clothing company People Tree.

We’ve watched as she’s grown from a bushy haired teen to a groomed glamorous lady fronting high end campaigns for Burberry.

However, just as we thought she couldn’t get anymore ladylike the actress appears in smudged eye make-up and smeared lipstick in an arty eight page spread for the new issue of America’s Vs magazine.

Not only is the vintage clothing and make-up a huge step from her Burberry campaign, but for once Emma actually looks like she’s having fun. There’s no smoldering looks on this spread.

By Andrea Petrou on February 4th, 2010

Lara Stone Versace.jpg
Lara Stone has barely been out of the spotlight this year due to her high profile campaigns for Louis Vuitton and a number of magazine spreads.

And her personal life has also caused huge waves with the model announcing her engagement to funny man David Walliams last month.

However, today she’s racking up the column inches for her modelling and acting work starring in the new advert for Versace’s Versus fragrance.

The 30-second clip shows her dancing in a room full of mirrors with flashing pink and purple lights in the background. Sounds like our ideal Friday night.

First looks: Exclusive trailer of Tom Ford’s Single Man including the premier and interviews by the stars

By Andrea Petrou on February 2nd, 2010

Celebrities turned out in their droves last night to attend the premier of designer, come director Tom Ford’s debut film. Single Man, which stars Colin Firth, is set in Los Angeles in 1962 at the height of the Cuban missile crisis. It’s based on a gay professor struggling to find meaning to his life after the death of his partner.

He dwells on the past and cannot see his future as we follow him through a single day, where a series of events and encounters, ultimately leads him to decide if there is a meaning to life after the death of Jim.

The film, which has received fantastic reviews was watched by Mr Firth and his wife Livia Giuggioli, Lily Cole, Elizabeth Hurley and Kelly Hoppen to name a few. Watch the video of the premier last night with interviews by the stars and also a sneak preview of the film.

A Single Man will be out in cinemas from 12 February.

First looks: Taylor Momsen for New Look

By Andrea Petrou on January 29th, 2010

Late last year we reported that Taylor Momsen could be the face of New Look and we weren’t sure if this was just a rumour or if it would actually happen.

Well guess what, it’s happened!

In the first snaps of the 2010 campaign the Gossip Girl, and one of our favourite style icons, poses in a range of Spring outfits for the highstreet store and we absolutely love the kooky stripped dress and on-trend harem pants.

We have to admit we weren’t too sure of this partnership as we thought Taylor was made of higher designer things (we expected at least a Gucci or Guess spread).

However we think we should eat our trilby hats as we think Taylor’s funky style really works with this brand and shows highstreet can be just as good as designer.

We can’t wait to get our hands on some of the range when it hits stores later on this year.

First looks: Behind the scenes with Kate Moss on the Longchamp campaign

By Andrea Petrou on January 28th, 2010

It’s finally happened.

Kate Moss has officially launched her range of bags for Longchamp.

The model who was accompanied to the launch in Paris by fiance Jamie Hince showed off the collection, which includes the Rock’n'Casual, Rock’n'Travel and Rock’n'Glam, during a glitzy party at the Ritz.

We’ve also managed to get our hands on a video showing all the behind the scenes footage of the Lonchamp campaign. We’ve got our eyes firmly on that zebra print bag.

Have a look at the video below and tell us which bag takes your fancy.

Posh and Becks pose for his and hers covers for 10magazine

By Andrea Petrou on January 28th, 2010

Posh and Becks are rarely out of the media spotlight and if you thought this year would be a quieter one for the couple then think again.

Victoria has already racked up inches as high as her stilletoes this month with news that she may be designing a hotel in Dubai with Karl Lagerfeld. And just in case we haven’t seen enough of the pair, they’re now appearing on his ‘n’ hers covers to mark the 10 year anniversary of 10 magazine.

In the first ever celebrity cover for the mag, which was shot by Cedric Buchet, both show off their toned gym bodies. Victoria kept it posh in a range of outfits including a nude Roland Mouret bodycon slip as well as a black bodice and all in one.

In an interview with the magazine she also hinted that her fashion collection wasn’t going to disappear anytime soon, claiming: ‘I still plan to be doing this in 10, 15, 20 years time, so it’s got to be done right.’

However David chose to get all down and dirty for his cover. Hmm if our local mechanic looked like that we might not feel so upset about handing over those huge amounts of cash to get our cars fixed.

First looks: Sonia Rykiel’s knitwear for H&M video

By Andrea Petrou on January 27th, 2010

We were excited about the first part of Sonia Rykiel’s collection for H&M, which came out last year, and managed to get our hands on enough lingerie to keep us going into 2011.

However we can’t wait for the second part, which focuses on knitwear and is out on the 20 February.

To taunt us that little bit H&M has put together a video , which shows how the collection was made and what we can expect to see on the shelves once we’ve finally pushed our way through to the front.

We’re already in love with the bright stripped jumper dresses and our sleeping bags are waiting patiently by the door.

First looks: Jennifer Lopez for Elle Magazine

By Andrea Petrou on January 25th, 2010

J-LO 1.jpgJennifer Lopez (or J-Lo) hasn’t been on our fashion radars for a while now, and we can only assume that was because she was taking time off to play mum and wife.

However it seems she’s making a comeback, and if these by Tom Munro it seems it’s with a vengeance.

jlo 2.jpg

The singer and actress, who we’ve always admired for her curves and, erm, bottom, looks striking in the photographs, which appear in this month’s issue of Elle.

We particularly love the military style hat, a la Cheryl Cole, and PVC jumpsuit J-LO is wearing.

First Looks: Tilda Swinton for Pringle Scotland video

By Andrea Petrou on January 22nd, 2010

We gave you a first glimpse of Pringle’s SS2010 campaign staring Tilda Swinton and now we’ve got our hands on the promotional video too.

Despite our hopes that the campaign would be fun, the video says a different story, it features Tilda walking across the beautiful Scottish landscape and ending up in a cave wearing different outfits.

And although its not fun, it’s laid back, depicted by Tilda’s lack of footwear, and just a tad eerie. However it does make for riveting watching and the cinematography is amazing.

Watch it below and tell us if you agree.

First Looks: Scarlett Johansson for Mango SS2010

By Andrea Petrou on January 21st, 2010

scar1.jpgScarlett Johansson is no stranger to modelling and not at all unfamiliar with Mango after she fronted the company’s A/W 2009 campaign, for which she received mix responses for.

However that hasn’t stopped her being signed up to front the highstreet store’s S/S2010 collection.

Personally we think Scarlett looks fabulous in this season’s florals and floaty designs and we don’t think anyone will be complaining this time.

First Looks: Blake Lively for Esquire Magazine

By Andrea Petrou on January 21st, 2010

Blake 1.jpg
Blake Lively has always been a kooky dresser in our books and we love her smart, yet laid back tailored style. However, it seems the Gossip Girl has got more fashion sides to her than we originally thought.

The actress has been transformed into a Grease starlet for Esquire magazine, where she poses in a leather jacket while running a comb through her wet look styled hair to give the original Grease T Bird boys a run for their money. She also pulls off that pants as outerwear look extremely well (take note Lady Gaga).

And we imagine her sultry swimwear shot will have many men rushing out to buy the latest copy of the magazine when it hits news stands next month.
