Donate Clean Water With Cate Blanchett For Free… Just Click!

Apr 4, 2011 @ 5:33 pm

Cate Blanchett, actress and global ambassador for luxe skincare products by SK-II, teamed up with the brand to launch the Clear for Life project, which aims to bring clean drinking water to communities in need. And you can help! Visit SK-II.com and donate one liter of clean water simply by clicking “Share the Word” and sharing the message on Facebook, Twitter, or MySpace. No product purchase is necessary, and the more you click, the more water is donated. Clear for Life was inspired by Blanchett, after she donated three million liters of clear drinking water to communities in need at SK-II’s 30th anniversary. “I’ve always been obsessed with bottled water and clean drinking water,” Blanchett told InStyle. It is a shocking fact that nearly a billion people in the world right now have no access to clean drinking water, and that number is set to double in the next 15 years.” The cause is close to the actress’s heart, not only since she’s from Australia, a country affected by drought, but also because the recent Japan tsunami is fresh on her mind. “You can’t forget that SK-II is a Japanese brand, and with everything going on in Japan, we’re working to see what can be done to bring clean water over there.”

Jennifer Lopez scooted down to Mexico over the weekend to film the music video for her new single, “I’m Into You,” and we scored the inside scoop on her sexy snakeskin outfit. In these photos, which the American Idol judge Tweeted from the shoot, Lopez wore a sexy python-print silk halter-neck gown by Lanvin (one of Lopez’s go-to designers). The same exact dress is available for $5,290 on Net-a-Porter.com. A matching head wrap, stacks of Lanvin bangles, and sparkly teardrop earrings by Tous—a Spanish jewelry line she represents—finished the look. And is that a snakeskin manicure we spy?

Carrie Underwood’s ACM Awards Purple Dress: What the Designer Thought!

Apr 4, 2011 @ 1:46 pm

Carrie Underwood wore three different looks for the Academy of Country Music Awards in Las Vegas last night, but her plum gown by Jean Fares was by far her most elaborate. That’s why InStyle caught up with the Lebanese designer to find out how he reacted to seeing one of country’s biggest superstars in his satin design. “I loved Carrie in my gown on the red carpet, she really looked stunning!” Fares told us. “The deep purple color suits perfectly with her skin and hair color and she kept it simple with her accessories but still looked elegant. This dress was a perfect fit for a Las Vegas award show in the springtime. I want to thank Carrie for choosing to wear the Jean Fares Couture collection.” Also, take a closer look: As an extra touch, he embroidered the gown with rows of Swarovski crystals.
