Whether you believe fur is FABULOUS or fur is MURDER, one thing is for sure, fur is HERE TO STAY in fashion.
In fact, Blackglama's latest campaign, announced today, features none other than Janet, Miss Jackson, if you're nasty, and asks the question, “What Becomes a Legend Most?” (We're pretty confident that the answer is "Fur.")
Former faces of Blackglama include Sophia Loren, Diana Ross and Audrey Hepburn, so Janet follows in truly ICONIC footsteps.
Print and outdoor ads break in September.
What do you think of Janet Jackson for Blackglama?
Bravo's Double Exposure gets a lift this week, with appearances by none other than Naomi Campbell and Lady Gaga.
Gaga's man was at the shoot (you will see him in the episode) and he encourages her to work the pole "as you know how to work it." We'll leave that one open for interpretation...
Naomi was...Naomi. In other words, watch out!
Check out the gallery below for photos of Gaga and her "hello pussy" (a pun she made as she was doing a shoot for Hello Kitty.)
Tune into Double Exposure for your Gaga fix on Tuesday, July 13 at 11 PM.
My pal Amber over at Beauty Blogging Junkie and I were recently chatting about our greatest man loves in the celebrity space (HELLO, Seth Meyers. HELLO, Andy Samberg.) and near the top of both of our lists, respectively, is Brit actor Clive Owen. We're in agreement that he is unequivocally a MAN, not a boy, and THAT Is unequivocally SEXY. Yes.
Apparently, there are others in the world who agree with us (who knew?) as none other than Clive Owen is the face of Bulgari's newest fragrance BVLGARI MAN. Last night he celebrated the launch at the Bulgari Hotel garden in Milan (above) and frankly, it's a good thing that this event was in Italy, because if it had been in New York, I would have been tempted to party crash - and that's never good form.
Would any celebs inspire YOU to party crash? Do tell!
Academy Award winner Sandra Bullock's makeup look at last night's Oscars caused some minor dissent on Twitter. For example, Jason Campbell, founder of JC Report, tweeted that her lipstick was "wearing her." Now, while I know that a bold lip is a bit much for some, I must respectfully disagree.
In case you're wondering (I was!), makeup artist Angela Levin for Chanel used CHANEL Rouge Coco Lip Colour in Paris to create this classically glam lip. She finished Sandra's look by gently dabbing a bit of the same lipcolour on the apples of Sandra's cheeks - I love how the look is pulled together effortlessly with this little trick!
What do you think of Sandra Bullock's lip? Too much or just enough?
Last night's Oscars were extra fun as I hosted Jamie, Amber, Jordana,Sarah, Kristin and Felicia for a viewing party sponsored by the generous folks at Dove.
We munched on yummy Italian from Il Bambino, ate buckets of movie candy and dished on the night's festivities from red carpet hits and misses through The Hurt Locker's incredible win for Best Picture.
Universal favorites were few and far between, as we're gals with passionate and differing style tastes. But one star that had us in agreement was Julianne Moore, who looked close to flawless.
While I WISH she had worn the amazing emerald drop earrings that she rocks in the new BVLGARI campaign, the jewels that she wore to the ceremony were nearly as jaw-dropping. They included:
Three platinum and diamond bracelets and a 22+ct emerald ring from BVLGARI’s High Jewelry Collection
Two platinum and diamond bracelets ca 1930, from BVLGARI’s Historical Archives Collection
Like any good New York woman, I la-la-love Gossip Girl. And while I can't survive without a little S and B on my Monday nights, I'm also a huge fan of Brooklynite Vanessa Abrams, played by Jessica Szohr. Jessica's really a natural knock out, so when the folks at Dove shared the following fashion & beauty must-haves from their spokesperson, I knew I had to share.
Growing up in Wisconsin, jeans were my wardrobe staple. This summer I’m living in jean shorts because I can wear them so many different ways. I can either wear them casually with a button down and sandals during the day or dress them up with heels at night.
The stylists I’ve worked with have really opened my eyes to fashion trends and experimenting with accessories. This summer boho headbands are my go-to accessory because they keep my hair off my face when it gets sticky out
People don’t realize this, but we are filming the show all summer long in NYC. To help relieve the hot city heat, I’m constantly jumping in the shower to freshen up and stay cool. I love Dove go fresh Burst Body Wash. The nectarine and white ginger scent smells so good and invigorates me at any time of day! (Jessica's not exaggerating - this is one of my very fave shower gels. It's moisturizing too - and SO cheap.)
Filming days can be long and brutal – especially in the heat of summer – so I make sure to stay hydrated and have lots of healthy snacks to keep my energy level up. But don’t get me wrong, I definitely stray sometimes – my favorite splurge is Cheetos!
On a warm summer day, no need to cake on the makeup! I like to keep it simple. One of my favs is Napoleon Perdismascara – it’s all I need in the summer!
Ever wonder what celebrities are thinking when they get dressed for red carpet events and public appearances? Yeah, me too. I gues we're not the only ones as MTV and Cotton have teamed up to create a web series called "What Were U Thinking?" that features an inside look at celeb style.
Each episode puts a celeb into the hot seat to discuss past and present fashion choices. First up is rock progeny Kelly Osbourne, whom I just love! Check out the episode below and be sure to visit http://mtvcotton.com to see more.
