Devon Aoki Expecting First Child
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Health & Beauty, Models, News,
From model to actress to mother -- Devon Aoki is pregnant.
The 28-year-old model is expecting her first child with financier fiance James Bailey, and the pair are thrilled at the prospect of becoming parents.
"Devon and James are extremely happy. They became engaged over the summer, and she has just found out she is pregnant," her representative said.
Devon, who is the heiress to a large fortune as her father founded the Benihana chain of restaurants, began modeling at 13 and took over from Naomi Campbell as the face of Versace when she was 16. She then ventured into acting appearing in films such as Sin City and 2 Fast 2 Furious.
When she first burst onto the modeling scene, she was touted as the new Kate Moss and while she has never achieved the same success, Devon has huge admiration for the 36-year-old beauty: "I have a lot of love for her. I hate all the bad publicity she has had over the past year, because she is a wonderful person - she is a true icon."

Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News, Rumors,
—A pregnant Lily Allen showed up at Givenchy in some chic pregnancy wear. True to Fall/Winter looks, she kept it simple and Parisian with a gray long coat, white blouse, and black pumps.
—Glee star Lea Michele has become quite the fashion darling, striking a pose with Zac Posen. With her nude robe-like dress, I’d say that she has some more styling etiquette to learn.
—Alber Elbaz is probably the sweetest, most caring designer. The Lanvin creative gave his models the option of wearing comfy gladiator sandals (at the last minute!) for his Spring/Summer 2011 show.
—After scoring Vogue Paris‘s coveted 90th anniversary cover, Lara Stone is right back on Vogue—this time, it’s in her native UK mag.
—Finally taking a cue from some sensible publicists, American Apparel attempts to save the brand’s image in some new ads that feature a less-creepy Dov in the face of their financial woes. He just still couldn’t resist shooting the ads in his bed.
—Traditional and iconic American swimsuit model Marisa Miller changes things up for 944, sporting a dark bob wig and gloves—a far cry from her usual California-esque look.

The Australian model was watched by husband Orlando Bloom at the Paris Fashion Week show, with other celebrities including Charlotte Gainsbourg and Salma Hayek taking in the designs by Nicolas Ghesquiere.
The Spring/Summer 2011 collection was hard on utilitarianism - applique body panels, cocoon coats and riveted leather belts made a strong showing on the runway, with Ghesquiere revealing he wanted a wet look to the clothes.
“I wanted to make everything look as though it had been in the rain.”
Miranda was not the only big name to walk the runway for Balenciaga - Brazilian beauty Gisele Bundchen also made waves in a white ensemble with a see-through skirt.

—Louis Vuitton models walked down the catwalk with temporary tattoos from artist Scott Campbell. Ed Hardy much?
—Actress Jessica Alba has completed her good deed of the week, swaying a 21 year-old Chinese woman from getting plastic surgery to look like her, in hopes of winning her ex-boyfriend back.
—Burberry’s Fall/Winter 2010 ad campaign has hit the interwebs. The photos star a beautiful and British blend of models and musicians. Great, another reason to be jealous of not being British.
—After the critical success of his directorial debut, it’s no wonder that Tom Ford is taking on a second film. Unfortunately, he’s not letting any details slip just yet.
—Emma Watson attended the Glastonbury Music Festival looking somewhat stylish. I’m loving her Louis Vuitton corset, but not necessarily agreeing with her choice in blue jean shorts.

Gisele Bundchen Flaunts Perfect Post-Baby Body
Posted by Robin Paulson Categories: Celebrities, Editorials, Fashion Designers, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Shot a mere two months after she gave birth, Gisele Bundchen is the current envy of most mothers as the photos from her Calzedonia Spring/Summer 2010 campaign are released.
The secret to her fabulous post-baby body? Gisele was kind enough to offer some pregnancy advice for the common folk: “I did kung fu up until two weeks before Benjamin was born, and yoga three days a week. I think a lot of people get pregnant and decide they can turn into garbage disposals. I was mindful about what I ate, and I gained only 30 pounds… What helps me is the fact that I had a natural birth and am breast-feeding.”
Check out the rest of the photos from the shoot after the jump!

Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Once she realized that her Snuggie didn’t possess magical weight loss powers, Kendra Wilkinson started to hit the gym.
The 24-year-old former Playboy model - who gave birth to her first son Hank Randall Baskett IV on December 11 - is keen to regain her pre-pregnancy figure and can’t wait to get back to exercise.
Writing on her Twitter, she said, “2 more wks til i get to hit it hard at the gym..and sex of course(IUD) ;D lol. yayy. hows everyone doin today? (sic)”
Despite being told by doctors that she could not work out for six weeks following the Caesarean birth of her son, she was thinking about ways to get back into shape soon after he was born. Kendra - who married husband Hank Baskett in June 2009 - said, “I’m going to be a hot mama. The doctor said I can’t exercise until after six weeks but getting up and down in the middle of the night - feeding him, changing him when he’s crying - is my ab workout already!”

Heidi Klum Exercises With Baby Lou
Posted by Andru Edwards Categories: Celebrities, Fashion Shows, Health & Beauty, Models, News,
Supermodel Heidi Klum lost her pregnancy weight thanks to her baby.
The German-born beauty modeled for a Victoria’s Secret underwear show just six weeks after giving birth to her fourth child, daughter Lou, and credits taking long walks with the infant for helping her shed the excess pounds.
“In the first two weeks after the birth I did absolutely nothing. Then I started very slowly with a bit movement. We live in Los Angeles at a very steep hillside. I walked it up and down - with a baby buggy! Then I extended this subsequently to longer walks.”
As time went on, Heidi expanded her workouts but admits she prefers working out with the infant than a trainer: “Then I called my trainer Andrea Orbeck. She comes to me a few times a week. We train with weights, we do exercises with a medicine ball and much more. To be honest - it is not really fun for me. But I think it’s important for my body.”
