In tonight’s episode of The Bachelor, Brad Womack surprises three of the final six Bachelorettes with one of the most unusual dates ever—a photo shoot for the annual Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue. Ashley Hebert (left), Chantal O’Brien (right) and Michelle Money (bottom) posed with the controversial Bachelor on the beaches of Anguilla in red Valentine’s Day themed bikinis. In a preview of tonight’s episode on abc.com, Hebert channels her inner ballerina and does some impressive leaps for the camera in her Lucky Brand bikini, while O’Brien bravely volunteers to do some artistic shots sans her crocheted Betsey Johnson top. “I’m scared out of my mind,” O’Brien says to the camera. “I’m outside my comfort zone.” Terrified or not, they all made gorgeous swimsuit models for the day, getting rave reviews from photographer Raphael Mazzucco. See more photos of the steamy shoot in the Sports Illustrated swimsuit issue, on newsstands tomorrow, February 15th.

It’s been quite a year for our feathered friend—the swan. Not since Björk wore her infamous swan dress to the Academy Awards in 2001 have swans gotten this much attention on the red carpet. “I thought that swan dress that Björk wore was beautiful and wonderful,” Florence + the Machine singer Florence Welch told us at a pre-Grammy party this weekend, “I would wear that.” And she did—sort of. Welch wore a different swan interpretation to the Grammy Awards last night, walking the red carpet in a Givenchy Couture dress with swans on it. She joins fellow swan fans Natalie Portman, whose portrayal of the aquatic bird in Black Swan earned her an Oscar nomination, and True Grit star Hailee Steinfeld, who walked the Berlin International Film Festival’s red carpet in a Miu Miu pleated silk dress with a youthful swan print. Tell us: Would you wear swans on your clothes?

While music’s hottest acts partied at the Grammys in Los Angeles last night, film’s hottest stars hopped across the pond to attend the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) Awards in London for what turned out to be one of the more beautiful red carpets of award season thus far. Julianne Moore walked the carpet with designer Tom Ford wearing one of his strapless blue designs, Emma Stone upped her status as rising style star dressed in head-to-toe Lanvin, and Gemma Arterton wrapped herself in a silk velvet black gown and tied on a sapphire blue bow, a look designed by Yves Saint Laurent.
