Talk about spousal support — first they match their style, then their haircuts, and now David Beckham is proudly wearing his wife’s naked photo on his T-shirt! Victoria Beckham, who is the new face of Marc Jacobs spring collection, continued her work with the designer by posing nude for his “Protect the Skin You’re In” campaign which benefits the NYU Skin Cancer Unit. Previous stars who have modeled for the t-shirts include Selma Blair, Winona Ryder and Heidi Klum. We love that Victoria is backing a good cause and that David is so supportive of his wife! Say a collective “Awwww” with us. T-shirts available for $35 at selected Marc by Marc Jacobs stores.

Hairspray’s Nikki Blonsky On Dressing Plus-Size for SAG

Nikki Blonsky wants to make one thing clear: Curvy girls are fashionable too! “People think that we’re left out in the cold, we’re not,” says Blonsky, a proud size 14. Finding a gown for awards season is tough for every actress, but even harder when you’re not the average Hollywood size 0. “It’s difficult because a lot of designers don’t make plus-size clothing. But a lot of them do.” While Gucci and YSL aren’t begging Blonsky to wear their gowns, stylist Nicole Brewer says, “I think it’s sad because they could be making lots of money if they sold things in larger sizes.” Dress designers like Igigi and Torrid have created fabulous frocks for the Hairspray star, who says the key to dressing plus-size is fit. “It has to have enough coverage and is flowy, but shows off your assets,” says the 19 year-old actress. Well she got it right at this past weekend’s SAG Awards wearing a blue custom dress by Igigi. And Rodeo Drive, listen up! Nikki Blonsky is awaiting your call. “I’m kind of waiting to see if there will be a Prada gown in a plus-size,” she says. “I’d wear it, I’m all about it!”

What’s Already On Your Spring Shopping List?

John Lawton

Every season, we put together a list of the items we want most. And since it’s only a few months before spring, we’re beginning the process all over again. Top on our list is a pair of beautiful grey snakeskin pumps that will go great with jeans or a chic party dress. We’re also eyeing this cool khaki French Connection anorak — the IT jacket shape of the season — to wear with everything before it really starts warming up. It’s also time for a beauty update. We’ve been sporting the same lip color for the past two seasons and enough is enough. Orange is a big hue and we just might try it! Tell us: What fashion and beauty items are you lusting over right now? What are you dying to buy for spring?

What Brands Are You Obsessed With Right Now?

National Photo Group

After spotting Jessica Simpson on more than one occasion rocking Louis Vuitton‘s high-priced arm candy, we started to think about which brands we’re obsessed with. When we were kids, anything from Bonne Bell, Nike or O.P. would do. With so many brands to choose from these days, it’s really difficult to pick our fave few. Although fans of the big brands — high and low — (Chanel, M.A.C., Steve Madden, J.Crew, Forever 21, etc.), we’re obsessing more over newer lines like Ojon, Benefit Cosmetics, Bing Bang, Loeffler Randall, Rebecca Minkoff, Madison Marcus, Inhabit, Madewell 1937, and more. Tell us: What beauty and fashion brands are you obsessing over right now? And why?
