Amanda Seyfried “daydreams” about becoming a mother.
The ‘In Time’ actress says she can’t wait to settle down and have children but says she’s a long way off realising her dream because she’s currently single.
She said: “I can’t wait to have kids but I have to keep myself in check. I’m not having a baby any time soon. I don’t even have a boyfriend, so it’s not going to happen. But I love spending time with babies and daydreaming what it’s going to be like for me.”
While she would like children in the future, Amanda, 25, says she’s content with being a mother to her dog.
She told Look magazine: “My dog Finn’s my baby, I treat him like a child! I think this is easier for now.”
The blonde beauty also revealed how she sometimes finds it hard to trust men.
Amanda – who has previously dated Dominic Cooper and Ryan Phillippe – said: “I’m a little suspicious of people – men – but I have good intuition.”

Victoria Beckham has revealed that her new collection for her affordable diffusion line, Victoria by Victoria Beckham, was inspired by her “inner girl”. Um, Victoria, you know you actually are a girl, right? Maybe you’ve been around all-boys for too long..
Victoria has turned out to actually be a very accomplished fashion designer – so we’re all for her keeping up the good work with a new collection for her diffusion range, which is cheaper than her main ready-to-wear line. The singer-turned-designer said: “It’s definitely channelling my inner girl. I started this collection before I was pregnant and the doctors told me at first I was having a boy. So mainly I wanted to do dresses that I wanted, that weren’t ‘out there’ – and at the same time show that, contrary to what most people think, I do have a sense of humour.” Yeah, you tell ‘em!
If you’re wondering why it’s taken Madam Beckham so long to create this second diffusion collection after her first one, it’s because she’s a perfectionist and was waiting for the best. She told Britain’s Grazia magazine: “It has taken ages to get this together because it took a long time to find a factory that could deliver the right quality at the right price. Otherwise we’d have done it sooner.”

Alex Turner had better get back on the dating scene soon, because his newly exed love Alexa Chung is already in a sneaky relationship with Theo Hutchcraft from the electro Brit band Hurts.
We have to admit we were a bit choked when we found out that Alexa and Alex had called it a day on their relationship – fashion’s best couple!- but we like Theo’s style, so maybe he will be a reasonable substitute for Miss Chung.
A source leaked to the Sun newspaper: “It’s still early days but Theo is really keen on Alexa. They met at the American music festival Coachella in April and Theo has been spending a lot of time in New York, where Alexa lives. They share the same interests – music and fashion – and get on really well. But the relationship is still raw and they’re not putting too much pressure on each other to make it work at this stage.”
Awww, you guys. Now your relationship isn’t a secret anymore, can we see some his’n'hers matching denim outfits, please? Thanks.

Lady Gaga posing for Annie Leibowitz in NYC
A bit of a fashion happening yesterday on the streets of New York as two icons met for a fashion shoot: Annie Leibowitz photographing Mother Monster Lady Gaga herself.
We haven’t seen the final results of the shoot yesterday but we do have these amazing paparazzi snaps taken at the high-fashion shoot which show Gaga standing regally on the streets of New York in haute couture, coyly hiding her body with a giant black feather hat and throwing her head back to show off her couture eye-candy headwear. We have to say, it does look really fun posing for Annie Leibowitz.
You definitely know you’re a superstar when you’ve posed for Mama Leibowitz, who’s taken some of the most famous celebrity portraits in the world. A pregnant Demi Moore? Shot by Leibowitz. John Lennon curled serene naked around Yoko on the floor? Yep, shot by Leibowitz. Miley Cyrus posing coyly wearing nothing but a sheet? Yup, that was shot by Leibowitz.
We can’t wait to see the final outcome of this photoshoot. We reckon this is going to be a celebrity portrait to remember.

The collection will consist of seven different shades which will span from classic pillarbox-reds to coral and pink colours that the model promises will match any outfit. The model said: “My inspiration for this range was really to create a range of easy to wear, classic shades that I have always worn and loved. From bright reds, to soft pinks and nudes, there is a shade for everyone and any occasion. It was also really important for me that they were comfortable to wear. Whatever your outfit there is sure to be a shade to match!”
Steve Mormoris, Senior Vice-President, Global Marketing for Coty Beauty, added: “Kate Moss is the ultimate London girl and truly conveys the London Look: she is a leader in the fashion and beauty stakes and Rimmel is thrilled with our long-standing relationship with the world’s most famous model.”

The famous former model Agyness Deyn has revealed her reasons for leaving the fashion industry at the peak of her career.
Agyness, who was one of the most famous faces of the modelling world five years ago with her elfin looks and boyish crop, quit modelling because she felt like her career was taking over her life and her personality.
The gamine beauty said: “I think every single person, not just models, gets to a certain age and you’re like, ‘Who the f**k am I?’ I think with modelling, even though it was me and it wasn’t contrived, it got like other people were saying, ‘OK, that’s you.’ And I was like, ‘Is that me? That isn’t all of me.’ There’s so much more to a person. It was about two years ago when I stopped – I still did little bits, but I had to get off the train to really assess my life and what I wanted. I just suddenly couldn’t see where Agyness the model ended and where I started. It was so enmeshed and I was so busy that that’s all I was doing for ages. I lost my sense of self.”
Will we ever see Agyness return to the runway? She doesn’t think so as she plans to move into the acting world but will never say never to working on the catwalks again. The model confessed: “I don’t want to be like, ‘OK, now I’m an actress and I’m never going to model again’, because that would be crazy.”
Come back to us Agy, the catwalks of London miss you!

Rosie Huntington-Whitely has spoken out about exactly what it takes to have a successful career in modelling.
Rosie, who’s probably every man in the world’s dream girl at the moment, is fast becoming one of our generation’s most loved models and a successful Hollywood actress with a leading role in the new Transformers movie. So it’s fair to say that Miss Rosie knows a thing or two about a successful modelling career.
Her advice to any aspiring young models? “It takes hard work, determination and the ability to pick yourself up and try again when things go wrong. I advise you to get a reputable team around you, too. And always trust your gut feeling.” In addition to Rosie’s recommendations, we also recommend swishy hair, a bee-sting pout and legs like a baby giraffe’s. That seems to be quite important too.
Rosie’s support “team” is her mum, who she attributes for her success and drive as a young model. She told Britain’s ELLE magazine: “My mother inspires me. She’s been the driving force behind me the whole way and I strive to make her proud. I’m always drawn to women who are strong, independent, individual, who have an air of mystery about them and who aren’t afraid of their sexuality.”

The fashion designer Roland Mouret has revealed that he refuses to take a muse as inspiration for his designs, as he prefers to be inspired by a variety of different women at once.
His celebrity fans will be weeping into their designer hankies at this news. I bet Victoria Beckham and Kate Middleton are dying to take up permanent residence as a Roland Mouret muse, but the designer says this will never happen.
He told vogue.co.uk: “I design for any woman. I don’t like muses, if you have a muse you put someone on a pedestal. I prefer seeing women as they are, I design for women who enjoy being women.”
One woman he does take a lot of inspiration from, however, is the American Wallis Simpson for whom King Edward abdicated his throne so he could marry her in 1936. All very dramatic and romantic, no?
Mouret gushed about Wallis Simpson: “”Physically, she was very skinny – it was the person that was really attractive – her charisma; how beautiful and sad her life was. She was sexy in a painful way; a painful sexiness. The clothes she wore were austere, but sensual. It was the movement of her body that made her attractive – she was like a perfume, or the way a veil moves – like a ghost almost.”
Well Roland, if you ever change your mind about needing a muse, I can be available whenever you like. Just putting that out there..

The actress Diane Kruger says that she likes to experiment with and change up her look a lot, because she hates how all the other women in Los Angeles look the same.
Diane, who’s previously been a Chanel muse and a model, obviously has had a lot of influence from her stints in the fashion industry.
The actress said: “I don’t have my own stylist. And I like to be a little different – in LA, everyone wears the same dresses.I think my background as a model helps, because I like experimenting and I’m not afraid of fashion or what other people think of me.”
She continued: “Sure, I’ve worn dresses people didn’t like, but I enjoy the expression of clothes. What you wear is one of the only things about yourself you can manipulate.” Testify!
Diane is one of our all-time favourite dressers so it’s good to hear her point of view on fashion. May you always be our red-carpet queen!

Katie Price has slagged off Cheryl Cole’s sense of style in her new magazine, “Katie”. Excuse me while I split my sides laughing. Oh goodness, where do I even begin..
The failed fashion designer, model, novelist and singer has now turned her hand to running her own magazine “Katie” – which apparently includes bitchy commentary about other celebrities, and right now Cheryl Cole is in the firing line for that colour-blocked orange and purple outfit that she wore during her brief stint as a judge for the US X Factor.
Katie furiously (ghost)wrote about Cheryl’s admittedly bad fashion choices: “The whole thing is absolutely hideous. I don’t know who’s responsible for the outfit and the horrific hair but I hope Cheryl sacked them. It looks like she’s put on weight.” Madam Price, I am sorry but you are the last person who can talk about horrific hair.
The ex page three girl also slammed Cheryl’s bandmate Nicola Roberts for her fashion choices. “She always gets it wrong. She is trying to be unique but she doesn’t have the confidence to carry it off.” Katie, you can’t carry anything off.
The whole thing is a little bit ridiculous, and the only words that came to mind when I read this gossip was “Pot. Kettle. Black.” Am I right?

The singer Adele has admitted that she’s dying to have Christopher Bailey, creative director of Burberry, style her for the next upcoming awards season.
Adele is already having a major fashion moment right now, having just made the cover of UK Vogue – but we think seeing the singer decked out in Burberry would be the icing on the cake. Apparently, they’re already planning a style collaboration. Oh, to be a celebrity…
The Someone Like You singer told Vogue: “I love old school. Chanel, Prada, you know. And Burberry, definitely. I’ve met Christopher Bailey a few times. He’s definitely going to dress me for the next lot of awards – if I’m nominated. I’ve always loved Burberry. I remember saving for three years to get my first bag before I got signed. Five hundred quid, I think it was, made of canvas with the logo like a satchel.”
Okay, now I’m just gonna put something out there. Burberry, if you get bored of styling Adele, I’d also like to be styled by you for awards season. I know I won’t be invited or anything – just something beautiful to wear while I watch it on TV, really… No? Oh, okay then.

Not only does she look like the girl next door, but it’s obvious that Kate Bosworth was brought up with a sense of good manners as the actress has revealed she only likes to wear fashions designed by nice people.
The blonde beauty, who is often a familiar face at Fashion Week and is always impeccably dressed, spoke out about her particular process of choosing what – and who – to wear.
Kate said: “I’ve always seen fashion as embracing the individual, although yes, I understand that there are parts of the industry that aren’t so welcoming. But I look at the Proenza Schouler boys – they’re so kind and they make such brilliant designs. The Rodarte sisters, too. It may be idealistic, but I like to think that goodness rises to the top.”
And naturally, Madamoiselle Bosworth knows the fashion industry well, with a father who’s worked extensively in the Italian fashion industry, a close friendship with the fashion house Proenza Schouler and her own ecommerce site Jewelmint.
No mean fashion snobbery for this girl, then. Hear, hear! Listen up, designers – throw a hissy fit or start name-calling and this actress will never wear your designs again. You have been warned..

Adele flatters her curves with classic LBDs and vintage-inspired makeup for an hourglass sex-siren look
It’s been quite a big week for plus-sized beauties everywhere, as the UK singer Adele has just become the face of Vogue UK’S October issue. The singer, who’s been attacked and slated for her voluptuous figure in the past must have just proved any haters wrong because the photographs are absolutely stunning. Could the notoriously fattist fashion industry be slowly changing it’s tune?
As someone who spent the majority of their teens being overweight, seeing real women in the fashion industry and in the media is something that is very important to me – with childhood eating disorders and body issues at an all-time high, it is more important than ever that young girls should grow up to see beautiful, relatable and healthy women as role models.
Today at ShinyStyle we’re celebrating some of the fashion and celebrity world’s sexiest and fun-loving curvy women, who wholeheartedly embrace fashion and have fashion embrace them back. From the bootylicious Amazonian jiggle of Beyonce, who completely controls and commands her audience when she performs in curve-hugging dramatic stage costumes, to Gossip singer Beth Ditto stomping the runways of Jean-Paul Gaultier, there are already some women out there promoting the idea of self-love and healthy body image. There just aren’t enough of them yet.
Unfortunuately, some of our curvy beauty idols have succumbed themselves to the pressure of dieting to fit into a starvation-happy culture. Who could forget Sophie Dahl’s transformation from the lusciously curvy, china-doll purring pussycat that used to own the catwalks to the stick-thin woman she is now, all eyes and cheekbones? You could say that it’s her prerogative to weigh whatever she wants – and of course, it is. But the fact that even a supermodel who once lived off her curves can buckle under the pressure of the media’s ideal is scary, and shows us that we need these healthy role models more than ever.
To see which curvy icons are in our gallery, check it out above.

Alexa Chung has said that she finds the term “It girl” flattering, not insulting.
The 27-year-old TV presenter and model said: “It made me uncomfortable at the beginning … I always thought of ‘It’ girls as daughters of rich patriarchs who like to freeload. Now I think it’s a very nice compliment but it applies to a moment in time. One day I’ll be an old lady showing my children photos, going, ‘Look, I used to matter.’ I’m just enjoying the moment.”
Alexa is one of our absolute best style icons that the UK has – her clever combinations of boyish androgyny and classic, beautiful couture and vintage has got every teenage girl across the country in a spin.
The phrase is normally a slightly snide reference to a rich, pretty “DADDY BOUGHT ME TEN PONIES” kind of girl that is famous for not doing anything. But we have to say that Alexa is more than just that.. after all, she’s masterminding her own television show! Plus without her we wouldn’t all have dip-dyed hair or brogues.
We absolutely can’t wait for her new 24 Hour Catwalk show to hit our television screens.

The Saturdays singer Frankie Sandford has admitted that while she doesn’t want surgery right now, she wouldn’t rule it out for the future – because she doesn’t want to grow old gracefully. To be honest Frankie, you’re no way near having to worry about surgery…
Frankie said: “I wouldn’t rule cosmetic surgery out. Never say never. I always joke and say I’m not going to grow old gracefully. But you never what you’re going to do.”
Frankie is incredibly slim, but insists that she has the same body issues as any other young woman does.
She said: “It’s the same with any group of mates. You look around and think, ‘She’s got a nice stomach or boobs or bum.’ It’s the same with us. I look at Mollie, who’s got the skinniest, longest legs and I’m like, ‘Argh, you cow.’ I’m not a massive fan of my legs. But Millie is the same about my tummy. You can’t help it. We’ll look at a picture of ourselves and go, ‘Yuck! I look horrible,’ and they all go, ‘What are you talking about? You look gorgeous.’”
Well, we really don’t think the Saturdays have anything to worry about, at ALL. Just keep away from the surgeon’s knife, Frankie – no one wants you to look like Joan Collins.
