There is quite a bit going on in the land of supermodels lately. For starters, Claudia Schiffer has got a few of you talking this morning after she hinted at plans to launch a fashion line one day.
"I've been in this business for so long and developed my name globally, but I have no product to show for it. And I would love to develop it now," she told WWD at the IHT's Techno Luxury in Berlin yesterday. "I have no definite first product in mind, but I would love to do cashmere. It's something I wear all the time myself, but I'd love to do something a bit more price-friendly. Plus a lot of cashmere lines are very classic and timeless, while I'd want to do it a bit more fashion. Or I could imagine doing handbags."
I wonder if she'll turn to pals Elle Macpherson or Kate Moss for advice?
Some are loving it and some are despising it. So who better to ask than you guys! Sharon Stone made quite the entrance at the Elton John AIDS Foundation's "An Enduring Vision" benefit in New York City on Monday. The actress threw the fashion rule book away by fronting up in a sheer black lace fishtail Christian Dior couture gown which she matched with a black leather trench, long gloves and a fedora hat. Perhaps she was going for the gangster-meets-cabaret singer look? But was it brilliant and ballsy or bizarre and a complete balls-up? Tell us by voting in our Yay or Nay poll below. [Image: PicApp]
The setting (a car park) may have been a bit unusual but for Dame Vivienne Westwood it was ideal. The British icon chose the Selfridges car park to present her Anglomania spring/summer 2010 collection to buyers, press and a few celebs Monday night. Starring Daisy Lowe (above, left) on the catwalk, with a face full of sparkly rhinestones (true!) Westwood unveiled a colourful collection dotted with her usual quirk and political undertones.
It was the night many of Twilight's American fans had been longing for - on par with being devoured by Rob Pattinson I'm sure. The red carpet was rolled out in Los Angeles for the US premiere of New Moon last night. Drawing thousands, mostly screaming young girls, and a list of Hollywood stars, it wasn't the boyss but rather the girls who stole the show.
Kristen Stewart took the opportunity to reveal a more feminine side with a floor-length strapless tulle Oscar de la Renta gown. It was a refreshing look for the 19-year-old who was once again a little let down in the hair department. It seems that Joan Jett haircut is posing a few problems for Kristen when it comes to frocking up. I wonder if she took this up with Joan, who was also in attendance at the premiere.
You MUST watch this. Stop whatever you are doing and click play on the video above for a full fashion collide between Beyonce and Lady Gaga. The super divas of music have joined forces for a video remix version of Video Phone which debuted on MTV today. It was shot while Beyonce was on break in Atlanta from her "I Am..." tour. I'm not sure what else to say about it except... WATCH NOW!
Adding to the growing brood of little angels is Adriana Lima's newest bundle of joy. The Victoria's Secret model, and her husband Marko Jaric, welcomed a baby girl on the weekend.
"Adriana and Marko are thrilled to announce they had a baby girl, Valentina Lima Jaric," a rep for Lima told People. "Mother, father and baby are all doing well."
Lima and Jaric eloped on Valentine's Day this year before learning that they were expecting their first child. "We are so excited!" she said at the time. "We wanted this. We were ready."
Although a recent birth isn't about to deter Heidi Klum from the VS fashion show this week, I think it's a safe bet that Adriana won't be appearing.
