After effortlessly pulling off a stylish motorcycle maven in her fall/winter 2010 Deréon ad campaign, Beyoncé and her mother Tina Knowles have decided to add temporary tattoos to the sportswear collection. “We decided to invite Temptu to help us create custom body art for her to model with our fashions,” Tina Knowles, Deréon’s founder, designer and creative director, told WWD. “The resulting images were so strong that we realized consumers might want to re-create the tattoos themselves.” On Nov. 1, Deréon and airbrush makeup firm Temptu will release a limited edition collection of both basic and deluxe temporary tattoos to adorn and toughen up your look. The waterproof tattoos will be offered in Deréon’s signature fleur icon and in chains, spider designs, rocker bolts and jewel baubles-giving you a two to five-day edge. The $16-basic kit has eight tattoos and all the pieces needed to affix the designs on your skin, while the online-only deluxe kit will retail for $34 and includes a signed photo of Beyoncé as well as a chance to win a trip to New York. To pull your biker-chick look together, visit Sephora or dereon.com. –Jessie Goldberg

It looks like Eva Longoria Parker, Penélope Cruz and Beyoncé will need to make a little room, as award-winning actress Julianna Margulies joins their ranks as the newest face of L’Oréal Paris. “I remember the first time I heard [“Because You’re Worth It”]. I was young, and I said to myself, ‘When I have money, I will buy beautiful products and feel I’m worth it,’” The Good Wife actress tells WWD. And years later that dream has come true in grander reality than she envisioned, with her own deal representing the brand’s RevitaLift skincare line. As for the feature that got Julianna the coveted gig? “I always have considered my skin [my best beauty asset] because I got lucky: I have small pores,” the 44-year-old actress says. “I am also very pale so I have stayed out of the sun most of my life.” Julianna’s ads will debut next year in a print and television campaign.

Lenny Kravitz’s Knee-High Wedge Boots: Love ‘Em or Hate ‘Em?

Splash News Online

Taking the leap from skinny jeans to full-on leather pants is a bold move for any man, but Lenny Kravitz took it one step further on Thursday, tucking his leather pants into knee-high wedge boots! Proving that fashion truly has no gender, the rocker was snapped leaving his N.Y.C. hotel confidently donning the wedge leather boots with a drapey cowl-neck pullover and a cross-body man purse! And while it has become acceptable for any man to wear designer denim or even obsess over his hair products, it seems that Lenny may just be standing alone in this bold sartorial effort — for now. Tell us: Is he on the heels of the next wave of men’s fashion or has he gone too far with his high-heeled boots? Vote below! Justine Harman

Lindsay Lohan’s Provocative New 6126 Model: Teen Sister Ali

It looks like Kendall Jenner isn’t the only teenage celebrity sibling to pursue a modeling career! Lindsay Lohan‘s 16-year-old sister Ali is causing her own commotion with these just-released modeling images for her older sister’s new 6126 online campaign and lookbook. Appearing every bit the grown-up screen siren, and less the little sister, Ali shows off pieces from the ready-to-wear label’s spring 2011 collection, ranging from a sexy sequined ‘Dakota’ minidress to the low-cut ‘Hilary’ frock. Shot by photographer Tyler Fields at a private Hollywood Hills home last month, the campaign and the entirety of Lindsay’s 6126 line, is inspired by Marilyn’s Monroe’s iconic glamour, designed “for a girl who desires to be graceful yet seductive,” says Lindsay in a release. And while Ali is clearly a natural in front of the camera like big sis Lindsay, we can’t help but wonder if maybe these shots are a bit too sophisticated for the teen. To check out the entire 6126 spring collection and more of Ali’s modeling shots, visit 6126bylindsaylohan.com. Tell us: What do you think of Ali Lohan’s new 6126 images? –Jessie Goldberg

Holly Madison Puts Her Shoe Obsession to Good Use


Soles4Souls

Though it was her love of fierce footwear that initially led Holly’s World and Peepshow star Holly Madison to 50KShoes.com, it was the ability to raise money for the organization that inspired her to speak out on its behalf. “I love shoes but I love supporting worthy charities like Soles4Souls even more,” says the blonde bombshell, who will go shoe–and tubesock!–free in supporting the charity’s efforts around the globe. Joining an impressive roster of celebrity ambassadors including Kristin Chenoweth, Kim Kardashian and Jessica Simpson, Madison’s involvement helps to raise awareness–and hopefully $50K, or 50,000 pairs of shoes in 50 days–for those who reside in areas ravaged by natural disasters. To date, Soles4Souls has donated over 1 million pairs of new shoes to the victims of the recent devastations in Haiti and Pakistan. For more information and to help this initiative hit the ground running (for as little as $5), visit 50KShoes.com before Nov. 5. –Justine Harman
