Supermodel Kate Moss has been the face of Rimmel London since 2001 — a lifetime in the beauty biz — but it looks like the British cosmetic label is getting a bold new look, adding two new faces to their ad campaign this fall with auburn-tressed model and university student Lily Cole and London-born chanteuse Sophie Ellis-Bextor. Contrary to rumors, however, Rimmel’s reps tell PEOPLE, Moss is not being replaced, and will continue in her role as the main face of the brand. As part of her ongoing position, Moss will star in new commercials this fall, while the other two will be featured in their own spots. And while she won’t be working directly with Moss, Cole couldn’t be happier to get in front of Rimmel’s cameras. “It is a wonderful opportunity for me to represent an innovative, trend-setting brand like Rimmel London,” she says. “I am also very honored to have been chosen to work alongside such an iconic face as Kate Moss.” Tell us: What do you think of Rimmel’s decision to add more faces to their brand. Should they have kept Kate Moss as their one-and-only?

Britney Spears is gearing up for a come-back appearance in a video segment that will be played during Madonna’s upcoming tour. Looking better than ever, Brit lightens her locks and lets down her hair — and her hair stylist, Kim Vo, gives PEOPLE the scoop on the new look. “I took her into the baby-blonde spectrum, like a child who’s been at the beach,” Vo says of softening the star’s darker blonde color. “She now has a lot of streaks — including some dark in the back — but the effect is baby-blonde. She is blonder than she’s been, which she loves.” But why suddenly so light? Vo had to take into account Madonna’s golden hair and give Britney something that would contrast and complement the Material Girl’s look. The straight style, however, was Britney’s call. And Vo kept fly-aways at bay with one of the star’s favorite products. “Britney loves the Perfect Polish Dry Serum. It’s a product that keeps her hair polished and frizz free. When we’re doing a straight hair style this is a must.” We think Brit’s straight blonde style is the perfect summer look for her. Tell us: What do you think of her new hair? Would you go that blonde?
