Top five celebrity yummy mummies: Beyonce, Victoria Beckham and Miranda Kerr

By Andrea Petrou on January 9th, 2012

The baby boom is well and truly here.

Last year a huge amount of celebrities, namely Victoria Beckham and Natalie Portman, gave birth.

However, over the weekend a new yummy mummy joined the baby crew and that’s of course Beyonce who gave birth to a little girl Ivy Blue Carter.

We’ve therefore decided to revise our list of celebrity mums and draw up a new top five.

Victoria Beckham makes the list for her style throughout her pregnancy and after the birth, while Natalie Portman also makes the grade as a result of her fab maternity wear.

See the gallery below for the top five celebrity yummy mummies.

Miranda Kerr allows herself the occasional treat to eat

By Andrea Petrou on November 15th, 2011

Miranda Kerr refuses to deny herself anything.

The Victoria’s Secret model says she has always eaten healthily as she knows it’s very important for her body, but at the same time will allow herself the occasional treat.

The Australian beauty – who has a 10-month-old son, Flynn, with husband Orlando Bloom – said: “My grandparents had a vegetable patch and taught me a lot about growing food and eating organically. I eat super-healthily, lots of vegetables and fish, but that’s not just because I’m a model. It’s to give my body the fuel it needs. And I don’t deny myself anything. Life is about balance, and you have to be able to have some treats now and again – it’s good for you.”

As well as eating healthily, Miranda says she maintain her stunning figure by exercising regularly.

She told Britain’s Hello! Magazine: “I do a lot of yoga, pilates and strength training all year round. I also have a trainer who makes me focus on the butt area, with squats and butt-lifts with leg weights.”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Christian Louboutin shoes make her “feel like a woman”

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley’s Christian Louboutin shoes make her “feel like a woman”.

The Victoria’s Secret model thinks it is “really worth” saving up for a pair of the red-lacquered sole footwear because they will automatically make girls appear “very sexy”.

She said: “I feel they make you look very sexy, the cuts are beautiful; the lines, the colours the embellishments.

“I think he managed to capture something so special for women, every girl should be lucky enough to have them. If you can save up for a pair put away a dollar a week. It’s worth it girls. It is really worth it.”

The ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ actress – who topped both FHM’s Sexiest Women List and Maxim’s Hot 100 List earlier this year – has coped well since becoming famous and even manages to “avoid” the attention that comes from living a showbiz lifestyle when she needs to.

The 24-year-old stunner added to Fox411′s Pop Tarts: “I am very lucky in my life so I don’t wish for anything I don’t have, and I actually manage to get around just fine. I’m just fine.

“It’s not too much, I manage to avoid it when it’s necessary, but I’m very thankful for everything.”

Miranda Kerr wants her son to date Stella McCartney’s daughter

By Andrea Petrou on October 4th, 2011

Miranda Kerr wants her son to date Stella McCartney’s daughter.

The Australian supermodel walked for the British designer – who has four children with husband Alasdhair Willis – at Paris Fashion Week and spotted a potential future love interest for Flynn, her nine-month-old son with spouse Orlando Bloom.

She said: “It’s funny because Stella’s little girl Reiley is almost the same age as Flynn so watch out – Flynn might start dating her.”

The 28-year-old beauty also admitted combining work with raising Flynn can be difficult while he is still so young.

She told People.com: “I’m still breastfeeding so I have to express milk and send it back to Flynn and then try and see him on my breaks.

“I was up for hours last night as he’s teething. And when he’s crying, he just wants Mommy! It’s such hard work.”

However, Miranda admits her husband is a great help with the baby as he is very hands-on.

She added: “He loves changing diapers! But seriously, he’s very hands on. I really couldn’t ask for a better dad.”

Despite her praise for Orlando, Miranda insists the couple have no plans for any more children in the near future.

Asked if they are ready to expand their family, she said: “Not yet but let’s see.”

Rosie Huntington-Whitely is set to star in the Autumn M&S campaigns

By emilyborrett on August 31st, 2011

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.

Gisele Bundchen is scared of high heels

By emilyborrett on August 18th, 2011

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!

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley doesn’t always feel comfortable with her body

By Andrea Petrou on May 25th, 2011

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley doesn’t always feel comfortable with her body.

The Victoria’s Secret model – who was recently named sexiest woman by Maxim and FHM magazines – has admitted she has “bad” days, where she doesn’t feel “radiant” enough.

When asked if she’s comfortable with her body, she explained to Complex magazine: “Well, it’s a day-to-day thing. I don’t feel comfortable in my body today at all.

“Any woman will tell you she has her good and bad days, and today I did not feel like I looked my best or felt radiant inside or outside.”

Although the British beauty – who is dating action movie hero Jason Stratham – has a perfectly toned physique, she has admitted in the past that she feels the need to boost her shape by putting chicken fillets in her bra.

The ‘Transformers: Dark of the Moon’ star said: “I’m not a fan of that whole push-up look in the day, but, of course, you do need a lift with a sexy dress.

“Do what you’ve got to do girls – shove them in there. I’ve been known to have three in at a time for shoots – plus padding.”

Get the look: Chanel Iman

By Andrea Petrou on November 25th, 2010

The model looked stunning last month at a gala in NYC, wearing a sequined maxi dress, headband and sultry velvet blazer. We love.

With all the upcoming parties and events that get rammed into your diary during winter, everyone has been very preoccupied what they’re going to be wearing this December. And we’ve found the one woman we should all be trying to emulate at this year’s office party – Victoria’s Secret model Chanel Iman.

Obviously, she’s stunning and all that – her mix of African and Korean roots have blessed her facially – but more importantly, she has got the party look nailed and is a walking advert for the motto that sometimes more  is more. Feathers, fur, sequins, metallics and glitter; ’tis the season to pile it all on with a shovel, and have another drink.

We particularly loved the outfit that she wore to a gala in NYC last month, oozing vampy Hollywood glamour in a deep-blue velvet blazer, teamed with a sparkling headband and sequined maxi skirt. This is the way to carry the maxi-length from summer into winter.

To see some of our favourites of the supermodel’s best looks, and where you can get similar pieces online, check out the gallery above.

Fashion models are no longer just pretty faces. Over the past 12 months we’ve been reporting on a range of high profile campaigns and acting jobs some of these lucky ladies have fallen into and today is no different. First up is Miranda Kerr who has just become the latest Victoria’s Secret Angel to land a high-fashion campaign.s

The model and girlfriend of Orlando Bloom has spilled the beans about a shoot she did for Jil Sander. However, the gossip grapevine is remaining tight lipped about whether she is she is the new face of the label’s fashion or beauty so we’ll have to wait and see.

But it’s not just Miranda who has news with French Connection model, Astrid Bergès-Frisbey announcing that she will be appearing in the next instalment of Pirates of the Caribbean, On Stranger Tides, which is due out later this year.

Astrid, the current face of French Connection’s Spring Summer collection – the 2010 ‘THE WOMAN’ campaign – has been selected by producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Rob Marshall to star alongside Johnny Depp as Syrena, a beautiful and alluring young mermaid. The film is predicted to hit screens on May 20, 2011.

By Andrea Petrou on April 7th, 2010

And today Monsoon has launched it’s first campaign shots staring Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.
We think the Victoria’s Secret angel looks stunning, but is she a better model than Kelly and which campaign really stands out?

Victoria’s Secret fashion show makes models feel the way the rest of us do all the time

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on December 3rd, 2008

Victoria's Secret fashion show 08.jpg

Apparently even the svelte supermodels legions of women envy face some insecurity when walking in the biggest and nakedest of all fashion shows – the Victoria’s Secret lingerie show.

“For other fashion shows you can be skinny, but for Victoria’s Secret, you need definition,” says Doutzen Kroes who walks for high fashion heavy weights like Christian Dior and Valentino.

“I love feeling so sexy and I love to be on this runway, but you’re nervous because it’s lingerie and it’s on TV,” Kroes said. “There are so many people seeing you live, it’s not like a picture when there is Photoshop after.”

It’s rumored that Kroes will be wearing a frothy pink ballerina ensemble and a Greek goddess get-up in tonight’s televised event on CBS at 10 p.m.

High-low cashmere sweater wraps

By Andrea Kiliany Thatcher on November 3rd, 2008

Cashmere sweater wrap comparison.jpg

We were perusing the new Lounge Lover collection on Net-a-Porter today, and it kind of put us in mind of something we’ve seen before.

The Victoria’s Secret cotton and cashmere collection. We look forward to snuggling up in their cotton and cashmere wide-leg pant.

Which isn’t that different than Lounge Lover’s tessa pant, but the really similar items are the Victoria’s Secret cotton and cashmere sweater wrap and the Lounge Lover Tessa wrap cardigan.
