Almay signs actress Kate Hudson on as their new celebrity spokesperson.
The 31-year-old actress - daughter of screen comedy legend Goldie Hawn - will front the new worldwide campaign for the cosmetics brand in her new role as Global Brand Ambassador.
Kate - who replaces model Elaine Irwin-Mellencamp - said in a statement, “Almay is known for its fresh, effortless approach to beauty. I share that philosophy and I’m honored to be partnering with a brand that believes cosmetics should bring out the natural beauty inside every woman. At the end of the day, we all want to have fun and feel beautiful - that’s what Almay is all about.”
The company’s vice president of marketing Thomas Lauinger admits the Bride Wars star “embodies” the look of the company: “Almay as a brand has a very loyal consumer base. They know and love Elaine, who has been the face for many years. But now we are really going to the next level with Almay with a fresh face that reflects the image and core values of the brand and Kate really embodies that for us.”

Carey Mulligan Donates BAFTA Dress to Oxfam
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers, News,
She’s as sweet in person as she is on screen! Carey Mulligan has donated her BAFTAs dress to charity.
The 24 year-old actress wore the black and white Vionnet gown to the prestigious ceremony in February - where she was named Best Actress for her role in An Education - but has now given it to Oxfam, to help raise money for the charity’s women’s projects.
“I’m honored to be able to donate my BAFTA dress to support Oxfam’s work helping women living in extreme poverty across the world.”
The dress will be displayed in a temporary Oxfam shop in the basement of London department store Selfridges for a week from Friday, and will be auctioned off with a starting price of $65. Shoppers at the pop-up store will be helped by a group of high-profile women headed by singer Annie Lennox. Funds raised from the sale of the dress will go to Oxfam’s women’s projects across the world including Bangladesh, India, Sri Lanka, Democratic Republic of Congo, West Africa and South Africa. The projects help support and protect vulnerable women by campaigning against violence, giving them the chance of an education and helping in the fight against HIV and AIDS.

Impatient Exerciser Helena Christensen
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News, Sales,
Supermodel Helena Christensen is “impatient” when it comes to exercise.
The supermodel is the face of Reebok’s new EasyTone trainers - which promise to tone a wearer’s legs and behind as they walk - and says they are perfect for her because they show results almost immediately.
“With my busy schedule it’s a perfect way to do something without spending hours in the gym. I’m impatient, when I try something I like to see results immediately. I could feel these working right away which is why I’ve stuck with them.”
The 41-year-old beauty uses the trainers when she walks around New York and can feel a difference at the end of the day: “Living in New York, I like to walk everywhere, so to have trainers that tone your legs and butt as you walk is fantastic,” she explained. “You can really feel them working and I’ve noticed a difference in just a few weeks. They are comfortable to walk in, it almost feels like you are walking on sand, but by the end of the day you can feel it in your legs almost like you have done a workout.”

Alessandra Ambrosio has become the new face of Moschino.
The Victoria’s Secret model will front the fashion label’s Fall/Winter 2010 campaign and will appear in a series of images which have been taken by fashion photographers Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin.
Moschino creative director Rossella Jardini said, “I have chosen Alessandra as model for the Moschino Fall/Winter 2010 advertising campaign as her Mediterranean style, mixed with her natural way of being chic, fits perfectly with Moschino.”
The Brazilian beauty gave birth to her first child, daughter Anja, in August 2008 and quickly regained her stunning figure. She recently credited her amazing body with eating lots of protein while still indulging in the occasional treat: “Lots of greens, but I love meat, so lots of protein. I have a little bit of chocolate here and there!”
As well as having a healthy diet, the 29-year-old star regularly works out with her Brazilian trainer doing the Brazilian Butt Lift, which is a mix of samba, capoeira and aerobics.

Madonna’s New Dolce and Gabbana Campaign?
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Designers,
Madonna is reportedly set to star in another campaign for Dolce and Gabbana.
The 51-year-old singer appeared in a stunning series of adverts for the Italian designers last year and it is thought she will be the face of their Fall/Winter 2010 womenswear range. The duo - who are good friends with Madonna - are currently in New York filming their new menswear campaign at Mulberry Street Bar and the “Material Girl” hitmaker was spotted very near the venue.
It has also been reported Madonna’s favorite photographer, Steven Klein, will be shooting in very same Manhattan area over the next few days for the designers. If the rumors are true, it will be the latest collaboration between the star and the fashion house.
As well as appearing in last year’s campaign, it was recently revealed she is to design a collection of sunglasses which bear the letter ‘M’ on the arm. Stefano Gabbana said, “We’re so excited. This further strengthens our relationship with Madonna, and it was a very constructive experience for us. She is very exacting and a professional who seeks perfection in everything she does, and this was no exception.” Madonna will also star in the advertising images for the eyewear line, which were shot by Klein and will be released next month to coincide with the launch.

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.

Swinton Looks Hauntingly Beautiful in Pringle of Scotland Campaign
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, News,
Red-haired androgynous beauty Tilda Swinton looks “hauntingly” beautiful in her new campaign for Pringle of Scotland.
The Oscar-winning actress - who fronted last season’s advertisements for the label - has been photographed alongside Turner prize winner Douglas Turner in an abandoned oyster bay in Loch Fyne, Scotland, and her unique look shines through. Talking about the campaign shot by photographer Ryan McGinley, Pringle creative director Clare Waight Keller told Vogue.com:
“There were really two moods that I felt strongly about for this campaign. The first was to use the Scottish landscape in quite a surreal way, where Ryan’s spectacular lighting, especially in the night photography, really captured the haunting beauty of Tilda and her surroundings and the uniqueness of Douglas Gordon in a truly stunning combination. The second was a slightly more boyish, ‘bovver boy’ feel, a bit more casual, hanging out at the back of a bike shed.”
