Easy Halloween Costumes for Cheats: The She-Devil

It's the ultimate lazy Halloween costume! Just chuck on your favourite red dress (or invest in a cheap one for the night), add some horns and a pitchfork (the set below also has a tail and a bow tie for less than a tenner), go crazy with the makeup (the more drama the better) and you're done. I must confess to whipping this one out myself on more than one occasion...

The Versace for H&M TV commercial - a teaser clip!

We have shown you plenty of imagery concerning the new Versace for H&M collection. Now here is your first look at the TV commercial to promote the range which is due to hit stores 12th November. In this behind-the-scenes clip you'll get a feel for what the commercial is all about which seems to be a crazy fun house with different themed rooms for models.

For instance you'll see Lindsey Wixson running on a hamster wheel, and Daphne Groeneveld floating away on a staircase all while dressed as younger versions of Donatella Versace. Speaking of, make sure to check out the video to see an interview with Donatella on the set at the filming of the advert.

Fashion Face-Off: Fearne Cotton vs Holly Willoughby

Best friends Fearne and Holly are known for having quite different styles, so it was a surprise to see the pair out and about in the same checked cape. That is, until you discover it's from Fearne's own collection for Very.co.uk. Holly also has a collection for the same store, but obviously this time she decided her mate's cape was the way to go!

Fearne's lace collar cape is £52 in the sale. But the big question is who do you think wears it best? Do you like Fearne's skinny jeans and quirky shades, or Holly's statement bag and buckled boots?

Let us know by leaving a comment!

Victoria Beckham's fashion sales set to soar to £60 million

Thumbnail image for 113262908.jpgThere is no denying that Victoria Beckham's fashion line has been going gang-busters, but now there is actual evidence that her business is really booming.

The former Spice Girl reached sales in excess of £15 million in the first quarter of 2011, increased by a whopping 70 per cent on the same period last year. That means if things stay on track, her label is set to make £60 million in earnings this year!

A source revealed, "Victoria never dreamed her clothing range would be successful. She is close to eclipsing David!"

No doubt these profits will continue in to next year thanks to the launch of her new, younger line which was unveiled during New York Fashion Week. The line is set to retail in the $550 to $900 price range, making it more accessible than her main line.

Red carpet watch: Keira Knightley in Roksanda Ilincic at London Film Festival

Keira-Knightley-London-Film-Festival-2011.jpg

Bucking the colour blocking and bright print trends was Keira Knightley who made an appearance at the London Film Festival this week. The actress looked demure on the red carpet as she attended the première of her latest film A Dangerous Method.

With her hair parted to one side and slicked back in a bun, Keira was the epitome of chic style in a contrasting black and nude dress designed by Roksanda Illincic. Featuring a criss-cross halter at the front, the dress offered just a hint of midriff, bare back and ankles. She completed her ensemble with a pair of strappy black sandals and minimal bronzey make-up. What do you make of her outfit? Tell us by leaving your comments below.

Gisele Bundchen covers British Vogue for December 2011

Gisele-Bundchen-Vogue-UK-Dec-11-cover.jpg

It's a super dooper cover for the December issue of British Vogue magazine. The fashion bible tapped Gisele Bundchen to be its cover star for its colourful latest issue. Photographed by Mario Testino, Gisele looks incredible in a pair of skin-tight shiny multi-coloured leggings.

As well as the cover, the Brazilian supermodel sat down with Vogue to chat all things marriage, babies and family. In particular, she opened up about what it was like to give birth in a bathtub without any pain medication (eep!)

"Well it's a personal decision. You have to honor what feels right and, for me, it was never even an option I'd do it otherwise. I mean, isn't that what our bodies are meant to do? Isn't that the great thing about being a woman?"
