Items Du Jour: Rihanna Wears a Fanny Pack and a Nude Photo of YSL

Rihanna sporting a fanny pack—After 7 years at the French fashion house, Jean Paul Gaultier will be leaving Hermès to concentrate on his own label. His last collection will be the Spring/Summer 2011 range scheduled to debut this October at Paris Fashion Week.

—If anyone can bring the fanny pack back, it’s Rihanna. The print-happy R&B singer was spotted in Ireland sporting a leopard Dolce & Gabbana bag around her waist. Sightseeing in style!

—After a year of everyone chasing down Olivier Theyskens following his departure from Nina Ricci, the designer is finally coming out with his first project. Theyskens is set to design a capsule collection for Theory, scheduled to appear in their Spring/Summer 2011 range.

—Kelly Osbourne has opted for a new hair color and admits that she’s become an exercise addict, going to the gym even when she doesn’t feel well!

—Kristen Stewart graces the cover for UK Elle looking… awkward. Not only does her face look strained, but her pose is slightly contorted (in a bad way). Twi-hards really ought to stop gobbling up these magazines; I’m rather tired of seeing her on fashion magazines.

Kim Kardashian Bares All For Bazaar

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, News,

 

Harper's Bazaar is now resorting to naked celebrities to sell its pages. Reality star bares all for the fashion magazine, which claims that the published photos have not been edited. "The message is embrace your curves and who you are..." says Kardashian of her public nudity. Judging by how gorgeous she and Britney look without Photoshop, I'm starting to think that these type of ads aren't making the general public feel better about themselves. Kim wasn't the only celebrity baring it all for the camera.

Britney Spears Releases Unedited Candies Ads

Britney Spears uneditedBritney Spears edited

Unlike a certain someone in denial, the princess of pop knows that she’s got some flaws and isn’t afraid to share them with the world.

Following supermodel Claudia Schiffer‘s footsteps, Britney Spears prompted footwear designer Candies to release the unedited version of her latest ad campaign. In the images, Spears’s waist, thighs, and bottom have all been trimmed down, in addition to smoothing her skin and removing cellulite.

The only problem is… she still looks great in the unedited images! Despite that, this is a great move for her—hopefully this trend will now continue to ripple in the fashion industry.

More Controversy Stirs Over Demi Moore W Cover

Demi Moore's cover over Anja Rubik's runway body

Just when the talk of Demi Moore’s questionable W cover died down, someone out in the internet makes a discovery that brings everything back into the spotlight.

This time, bloggers are pointing to Balmain’s runway model, Anja Rubik, stating that W photo editors swapped Demi’s torso entirely in favor of Rubik’s! Both women (supposedly) wore the Balmain swimsuit with a wrap; however, placing the W cover over the catwalk photo (above) says that perhaps only one of them truly donned the look.

Pixie Lott Bathes in Coconuts, Stands Against Photoshop

Pixie Lott tells fans what keeps her skin so smoothWant in on Pixie Lott’s secret to smooth skin? Jump in a bathtub full of coconut oil!

The British songstress, who reached fame with her hit track “Mama Do (Uh Oh, Uh Oh),” keeps her skin smooth and moisturized by using a low-cost body oil in her bath water and directly on her skin for a tan-extending summer skin treatment.

“I use coconut oil in my bath to keep my skin soft and silky, and in summer months after exfoliating it helps preserve my tan.”

The 18-year-old beauty has also perfected her favorite “smokey eyes” look after taking tips from professional make-up artists: “The best tip I’ve learned is, when doing black smokey eyes, work on those before you apply your foundation because the eye shadow can drop and ruin your face.”

The blonde teenager has also blasted those who airbrush photographs, claiming the image-enhancing technique can cause people to feel “inadequate”: “I think airbrushing is something to be wary of. Some people take airbrushed images as gospel and this can sometimes lead to them feeling inadequate by comparison.”


Demi Moore Denies Photoshop Claims

Demi Moore on the questionable W coverDemi Moore has admitted that she’s become really “skinny” in recent months.

The actress was defending her new body shape after it was claimed it had been airbrushed on the front cover of W magazine to make her appear smaller than she really is.

But the Ghost beauty insists she didn’t receive any digital help and says her hips looked slim, because they are slim.

She wrote on her Twitter, “I don’t have any hips. I love the pic and can only say I wish I had good lighting like that following me around all day. My hips were not touched don’t let these people bulls**t you. I am on the skinny side lately (sic).”

A spokesman for the magazine told Jezebel.com the photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott “did not do anything unusual or out of the ordinary on Demi Moore for the photo on the cover of W. Demi is an extraordinary beautiful woman and we feel our cover reflects that.”

Claudia Schiffer Poses Topless Without Photoshop

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,

Claudia Schiffer poses topless for Tank magazineIn the fight against Photoshop, supermodel Claudia Schiffer definitely threw a mean punch.

Posing topless for Tank magazine in front of photographer Luis Sanchis, Schiffer bears a striking resemblance to her iconic Guess? campaign back in the nineties—all without retouching.

Whatever she does, the near-40 year-old has it going quite well for her. One thing we can rule out? Botox: “It’s poison in my skin and no one knows the long-term effects. I’m far more scared of that than a wrinkle on my forehead.”

But don’t worry about her, much like Evangelline Lilly, Schiffer embraces her age: “All of my friends are my age and we are all aging at the same time. We talk about it and moan, but it doesn’t bother me.”

This isn’t the first campaign at this age that she’s done without clothes, either; the German model starred alongside Naomi Campbell and Eva Herzigova for Dolce & Gabbana’s campaign ad for their Anthology fragrance. According to her, we can count on seeing her shed clothes in the future.
