Natalia Vodianova’s Charity Necklace

Feb 24, 2010 @ 10:00 am

Last night in London, supermodel Natalia Vodianova hosted the star-studded Love Ball, where proceeds from an auction benefited The Naked Heart Foundation, her charity that builds playgrounds for children in Russia. The most coveted item of the night? The Magic Moment necklace she co-designed with De Beers. The necklace’s name is inspired by an Alexander Pushkin love poem and features delicate diamond-studded chains and two pink-and-white heart shape diamonds. “Designing this piece with De Beers was an experience I will treasure forever,” Vodianova said. We love the versatility of the piece, which can be worn encircling the body (left) or as a pendant (right).

UPDATE: The De Beers Magic Moment Necklace designed by Natalia Vodianova raised $277,000. In total, the Love Ball raised more than $1.54 million for the charity.

Jean Paul Gaultier’s Target collection mixes elements of edgy rock and roll with Hollywood glamour—and we can’t get enough of it! (Not to mention, the $17.99 to $199.99 price range is easy to get behind.) For a tailored look, we love the pinstripe double-breasted jacket and matching shorts (far left), which pair casually with the gingham bustier and shrug (second from left). Mix patterns with the classic striped tank and the full floral skirt (third from left); for night, try the lingerie-inspired polka dot dress under the classic, yet ultra-cool trench (far right). Check out the entire collection before the line hits stores on March 7th.

EXCLUSIVE PHOTO: ’70s Makeup from The Runaways

Feb 24, 2010 @ 12:00 am

In the Joan Jett-inspired movie, The Runaways, Kristen Stewart plays the music legend, Dakota Fanning plays band member Cherie Currie—and they both look incredibly ’70s chic in this exclusive, never-before-seen photo from the set. “I designed The Runaways eyes around Make Up For Ever shadows,” said Robin Mathews, makeup department head. For Stewart’s smokey eyes, she smudged a mix of black liner and metallic taupe and brown black shadows on the lids. Fanning’s eyes were rimmed in navy blue liner and topped with copper and blue shadows. The movie comes out March 19th, but for more tips straight from Mathews and a chance to hit the New York City premiere, check out these how-to videos.

Regina King’s Most Important Role

Feb 23, 2010 @ 3:50 pm

She plays a detective on TNT’s Southland and a lawyer in her upcoming film Our Family Wedding (in theaters March 12th), but Regina King’s real-life role as a cheerleading coach is her most empowering yet. In 2007, King began volunteering with the Pasadena Panthers, a non-profit sports league that supports Southern California’s youth. Today, the former cheerleader choreographs routines and attends football games with her squad of 10- to 14-year-old girls. Find out more about King’s cause celeb in the March issue of InStyle, on newsstands now.

Agyness Deyn’s Fashionable Film Debut

In her first short film, Mean to Me, British supermodel Agyness Deyn plays a 1930s courtesan faced with tough decisions in Manhattan. Her Zac Posen gowns, Mikimoto pearls and Guerlain makeup, however, are anything but hard knock. “I’m deeply inspired by 1930s cinema, and I wanted to create a story in which the female protagonist is a beautiful, glamorous woman with an intense, multi-faceted personality,” said director Peter McGough. Deyn used his guidance to inspire her performance in the 13-minute film: “Seeing [Peter's] passion for the 1930s was like jumping into a time machine. He provided huge insight into the time,” said the model. Mean to Me screens at NYC’s Cheim & Reid gallery on March 4 before making the rounds at international film festivals.
