Cheryl Cole has accepted the fact she will never have a supermodel’s figure.
The Fight for This Love singer is regularly voted one of the world’s sexiest women but she says she will never be blessed with the figure and height of someone like Gisesle Bundchen.
She said: “We all want to look like Gisele and look good in those sparkly leggings and then we wear them and don’t look good in them because that’s Gisele’s shape. We have to accept – well I have to accept – that I’m never going to be 6ft 2in. When you do that and start to dress for yourself and wear what makes you feel good, then you start to feel comfortable. It’s important to figure that out.”
Cheryl, 28, recently said she learnt the “hard way” with her fashion choices and has now accepted what suits her and what doesn’t.
She said: “It’s hard to know how to dress sometimes. I learnt the hard way that, just because something looks nice on someone else, it doesn’t mean it’ll work for your height, size and figure. I tried and failed miserably in my teenage years, but now I know to take things as inspiration and adapt them to work for me.”

The supermodel Naomi Campbell is set to be honoured at the Angel Ball in October for her charity work.
Naomi may be a bona-fide diva but she’s certainly got a soft side, as she’s been working tirelessly for various charities for a while now, hosting a Fashion For Relief fundraiser after the earthquakes in Japan and raising huge amounts of money for AIDs relief and Haiti. She’s actually raised $7million in total – wow.
Denise Rich, who is the founder of the charity which will honour Naomi in New York next month, said about the supermodel: “She really is amazing woman and she does a lot for charity. She has her own charity. She raised a lot of money this summer for Haiti and for AIDS relief.”
The model certainly does know to fundraise in style, with her latest Fashion For Relief party including performances from rapper queen Eve and Patti LaBelle, even encouraging Jane Fonda to take a turn showing her stuff on the catwalk. Who says fashion doesn’t care?
Congrats to you, Naomi, you completely deserve it.

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 gap-toothed supermodel Georgia May Jagger has revealed that her superstar parents, Jerry Hall and Mick Jagger, have had a lot of influence over her fashion sense.
When it comes to inheriting vintage treasures from your parents, you’re not going to be in a much better position than Georgia, whose mum Jerry Hall was an iconic supermodel of the 70s and whose father was the frontman of the Rolling Stones.
She said: “I wear jeans every day. I like to wear them with T-shirts and boots, or when I go out with heels. I’ve inherited more of my mother’s style, I wear a lot of her clothes but my father also has a great sense of style. Mum gives me lots of stuff from her Studio 54 days, like sequined hot pants.” My mum gave me a jumper with Felix the Cat knitted on it, but whatever.
Georgia’s inherited love of style has obviously been a major influence over her career, as she’s just released her own collection of denim designs for Hudson jeans. But the model has one warning for us girls – when it comes to fashion, follow your own tastes instead of the trends. She said: “Wear what makes you feel fabulous, don’t just follow trends. Fashion is a great way to express yourself. It’s also been amazing to be given the opportunity to create my own collection with Hudson that show styles I really love.”

A classic T-shirt is such an important thing to have in your wardrobe – and thanks to the likes of Jil Sander, a simple T-shirt is a serious fashion staple at the moment. There’s no better way to declare your love for something loud and proud than wearing it on a T-shirt, and as you know, we’re crazy about fashion. Luckily, style is something that T-shirt store MoreTVicar.com caters to well, with a huge selection of tees ranging from vintage designs to silly cartoon prints.
We’re completely crazy and head-over-heels for their fashion-inspired tees. Love the 90s? Why not tell the world with a cool black-and-white printed tee of Christy Turlington smoking a cigarette, or harp back to the 80s with a classic Madonna print. As icons go we’re totally obsessed their Kate Moss T-shirts and vests, which feature some of her best black and white beauty shots. It’s the best way to pay tribute to Mossy.
Or if wearing a supermodel on your chest isn’t your bag then maybe you’d like to show your appreciation for one of their cool musical icon tees instead with a John Lennon portrait tee or an Elvis one, to channel a classic rock and roll look. All you need is T-shades and a biker jacket and you’re good to go.
Check out our favourite MoreTVicar pieces by clicking through the gallery above.

Britain’s poutiest supermodel, Rosie Huntington-Whitely, is going to be the new face of Marks & Spencer’s Autumn ad campaigns alongside the Green Lantern star Ryan Reynolds.
The A-list twosome are going to front M&S’s Autograph collection, one of the department store’s many different clothing lines, though Autograph is one of the most fashion-forward ones. Rosie, who’s previously modelled in Burberry campaigns, said: “I feel proud to be associated with a British high street favourite that holds fond memories for so many people.”
The Canadian heart-throb Ryan also has a fond connection with the store and thinks of M&S with “nostalgia”. He said: “Going into an M&S store with my family or friends always gives me a beautiful pang of nostalgia. The Autograph collection is a modern take on the classic style I love and feel most comfortable wearing. The pieces in this collection are lasting staples that’ll never go out of style.”
The executive director of the store, Steve Sharp, was absolutely ecstatic to get the Hollywood pair to front the brand – we have to say that a Victoria’s Secret model and a Hollywood blockbuster hero is a bit of a step up from Myleene Klass and Danni Minogue dancing around in their pyjamas. He told MailOnline: “Rosie and Ryan are the perfect fit for Autograph – beautiful, exclusive and absolutely contemporary. On set, they worked together to deliver a mesmerising performance which allowed us to capture shots that literally sizzle with excitement and an air of mystery.”
Keep an eye out for these two on the telly – Marks & Spencer just got sexy.

In fifth place: Robert Pattinson and Kristen Stewart
Forbes have just released a “who’s who” rich list of the wealthiest celebrity couples in the world – and we have to say we weren’t surprised to find out that the supermodel Gisele and her husband Tom Brady are the richest couple in the world. Gisele, who’s already on record as the highest-earning supermodel in the world, earned an impressive £27million last year while her footballer hubby earned £18million, giving them a total amount of £46million. Blimey.
Coming up in second place was the gorgeous Beyonce with her rapper hubby Jay-Z. The rapper made £22million from his music while Miss Sascha Fierce made about £21million through fashion and music, meaning that the couple together made about £43million last year.
Of course no rich couple list would be complete without Hollywood’s most beautiful couple, Brad and Angelina, who as a couple made £30million from Hollywood roles. (Angelina earned more than Brad, as she raked in £18million to trump his £12million. GIRL POWER.)
Naturally David and Victoria Beckham also made it onto the top 5 in fourth place. David was the big earner, thanks to all of his deals with sportswear companies, bringing in £24million while Victoria’s fashion label brought in about £3million independently.
And last, coming in at fifth place, surprisingly, was Robert Pattinson with his surly Twilight co-star Kristen Stewart. Both of the stars each earned £12million from the wildly popular vampire series.

Gisele Bundchen, the world’s highest-paid supermodel, will apparently no longer wear heels on the catwalk because she isn’t used to them anymore, says designer Nicolas Ghesquiere. And apparently she isn’t the only one, either, as he claims more and more models are refusing to walk in ankle-breakers.
Nicolas told NY Magazine: “The idea was to have this crazy casting with Gisele Bundchen and Amber Valletta and Carolyn Murphy and they said no for high heels. They were not used to walking in heels anymore. Gisele was worried, she would not walk in my heels.”
Well, I suppose when you’re the highest earning model in the world you can choose to be a little picky about what you will and won’t do. But come on love, you’re Gisele!

The designer Marc Jacobs has gushingly spoken out about his admiration for the supermodel Kate Moss, who closed his fetish-inspired Louis Vuitton runway show this season to much applause.
Marc puts Kate’s enduring success and popularity as a model down to her “unique” and “huge” presence – according to the designer there are not many models like Kate.
Jacobs told Vogue: “I mean Kate is, besides being physically beautiful and an incredibly charismatic and extraordinary personality, just very rare – if not totally unique. Kate can be just Kate, and the presence is just huge. She fills space, indoor and outdoor, studio space and pages, with such life. That energy really comes through in any and everything that she does.”
It sounds to us like Marc’s got a bit of a girl-crush on Kate, but can you blame him? This is one of our favourite friendships within the fashion industry.

Claudia Schiffer has spoken out about her brand new cashmere collection to say how proud she is of each piece.
The collection, which was a collaborative effort between the supermodel and knitwear brand Iris von Arnim, includes a range of granddad cardigans, knitted dresses and boyfriend jumpers – each of which Claudia designed with her own tastes in mind.
Claudia told Hello! magazine: “When deciding to launch my cashmere collection it was important to create something true to my personal sense of style and aesthetic, where I would want to wear every piece and be proud of what I was offering to other women. The model also revealed that her inspiration behind the cashmere collection was the woodlands that she walked in as a child in Germany. “My inspiration is the forest and its dark side. It’s not about the cute fox, more the fox eating its prey and pebbles lying on the forest floor that could turn out to be spiders.”
This new project means that Claudia won’t be returning to the catwalk anytime soon, as she wants to devote all her time to the new knitwear venture. When asked about the lack of plans to return to modelling, Claudia said: “I’d much rather be working on this new project anyway. I want to meet all the press and buyers personally – it’s that kind of project.”
A catwalk without Claudia is like a day without sunshine! Come back to us soon.

The supermodel Lara Stone has confessed that modelling was never her ambition when she was growing up.
Lara said that as a child she never thought that modelling could be an “actual job”, planning instead as a little girl to become a stay-at-home mother. We bet if Lara’s younger self could see her now, fronting campaigns for Calvin Klein, Hugo Boss and Givenchy, she’d be staggered.
She said: “Modelling wasn’t on my radar at all. I remember looking at all those amazing photos of Kate Moss but at first I didn’t realise it was an actual job. I came from a standard family – my mum was a stay-at-home mum and my dad worked. So you think that’s what your life is going to be; meet a nice man, get married and have some babies. I know when I was younger I wanted to do tonnes of different jobs. I used to come up with these crazy jobs to try and provoke my parents but they said you can be anything you want. I was like, ‘I want to be a garbage man’ and they were like, ‘That’s OK, we still love you!’”
We’re so glad Lara realised her ambition – she’s one of our favourite models.

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.

Eva Herzigova has become a mother for the second time.
The 37-year-old supermodel – who already has three-year-old son George with long-term boyfriend Gregorio Marsiaj – gave birth to a baby boy, Philip, on Sunday (27.03.11) at London’s Portland Hospital and both mother and son are doing well.
No further information has been released.
Eva announced her second pregnancy last October and said the whole family were looking forward to welcoming their new arrival.
She said: “Gregorio and I are thrilled with the wonderful news. Our son George is being really sweet, asking all different questions about the baby and talking to my belly.”
Eva also revealed she was keen to have a natural birth and couldn’t understand why some celebrities opt to have their babies via an elective Caesarean.
She said: “I wanted to give birth naturally at nine months.
“I’ve heard some women book delivery by Caesarean early before their due date. I think a lot do it because of the fear of pain.”
The Czech-born beauty – who was once married to Bon Jovi drummer Tico Torres – has previously spoken her motherhood had changed her life and said it was something every woman must do.
She said: “I’m totally in love. I believe motherhood is necessary for a woman, it is her function.”

Oozing glamour and drama at a Vogue anniversary party - not many girls could make dark shiny fabric look so good, but a supermodel like Lara can
Mandatory Credit: WENN.com
Say what you will about supermodels and the debatable exclusivity of the inner circle of fashion, but Lara Stone is a model that’s difficult to dislike. With her disarmingly wholesome and beautiful, gap-toothed smile, her curves, which set her apart from every other ten-a-penny size zero clothes horse, and her own admission that she is “afraid of other females”, she’s one of the only famous models that we could imagine ourselves being best friends with. (If she’d let us, because we’re female). We want to hang out with her on the weekends with her comedian hubby David Walliams, drinking tea and watching Take Me Out on Sky Plus, and yes – raiding her wardrobe.
What we like about Lara’s personal style is how effortless and simple it seems. She never puts on too much eye glitter or wears a hideous assortment of garments that even Gok Wan would turn up his nose at – her outfits are always low-key and classic. It’s no wonder that she’s the face of Calvin Klein, one of the most classic minimal fashion houses practising today. Whether she’s wearing a spectacular party dress or a LBD, she always manages to look immaculate without appearing too studied. Want to see for yourself? Check out the gallery above for our favourite Lara looks.
