Madonna’s Sexy D&G Shades

Apr 30, 2010 @ 1:49 pm

When Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana hosted a party for Madonna in Milan last summer, the trio did more than just celebrate; they decided to create MDG, D&G’s first product collaboration with a celebrity. “We never plan ahead, but when the idea came up, all of us realized it was the right moment,” says Gabbana. “With the line we want to capture femininity and extreme sensuality.” That attitude was caught on film by photographer Steven Klein for the ad campaign, which features the pop icon in a steamy embrace. Says Gabbana, “The images evoke the essence of a star like Madonna: admired, chased, spied on, and adored—but never completely revealed.” Click on to see exclusive behind-the-scenes photos and a peek at the sunglasses collection.

Beckham To Design For Beyonce’s Tour?

Apr 30, 2010 @ 1:48 pm

Beyonce always looks fierce on stage thanks to designers like Giorgio Armani, Versace and Theirry Mugler, and now the superstar is rumored to have tapped Victoria Beckham to design costumes for her. The Mirror reports: “Beyonce is a big fan of Victoria’s work, and was given a couple samples from the new collection. It is Victoria’s more elegant full-length designs that she particularly loves as they are a real departure from her usual glitzy stage costumes. Victoria was flattered and had agreed, in principle, to suggest some designs.”  If the reports are true, we can’t wait to see what Posh cooks up!

Lea Michele’s Brand New Bangs

Apr 29, 2010 @ 5:43 pm

Last week we reported on Glee star Lea Michele’s bold new bangs (inset) and today we got the exclusive scoop from her stylist— they were actually faux! “Because she was shooting Glee, we couldn’t give her bangs until now,” explained the star’s stylist, Mark Townsend.  “Lea loves to play around with different hair looks and we’ve used clip-in bangs on shoots and red carpet appearances before.” When she was finally ready to make the cut, Townsend finessed the look to Michele’s liking. “She knew exactly the fringe she wanted: Longer on the sides, but eyelash grazing and right between the brow and the eyelash in the middle,” he said. Of course, a new cut also requires an update styling routine. “I blew the bangs smooth and dry with a flat brush, but used a round brush and a dab of Dove Frizz Control Taming Cream through the length.” We love her new look. Tell us how you feel in the comments below!

It’s what sets him far ahead of his peers,” Beckham wrote. “You can always tell when someone is wearing Marc Jacobs.” Artists and entertainers also featured on Time‘s list include Lady Gaga, Robert Pattinson, Sandra Bullock and Glee‘s Lea Michele.
