Even with his long hair, it’s almost impossible for Tom Brady to look anything but sexy, and now the handsome quarterback is lending his striking good looks to sports apparel label Under Armour. “It was important for me to align with a brand that shares my values and helps me perform at my best,” said the New England Patriot, who signed a multi-year partnership with the brand. “Under Armour makes cutting-edge products for the next generation and for athletes who compete at the highest level.” Joining the likes of former Kim Kardashian flame Miles Austin on the brand’s smoking hot roster, Brady will lend his face, and very impressive body, to various in-store and advertising campaigns. And when he isn’t suited up for fashion fêtes with his supermodel wife, he’ll be dressed down in Under Armour apparel and footwear during training. The three-time Super Bowl champ will also debut a new customized Under Armour Fierce cleat in his upcoming games. It looks like football is going to become our favorite sport! –Jessie Goldberg

Supermodels Donate Designer Dresses to Power a Good Cause

Elettra Wiedemann Practices 'Model Behavior' for a Good Cause Courtesy Charitybuzz

Having trounced down runways and graced her share of magazine covers, it would be easy for Elettra Wiedemann to sit back and bask in the fabulous life of a jet-setting model, but the face of Lancôme is putting her fame and smarts to good use. The top model and daughter of Isabella Rossellini is pairing her OneFrickinDay non-profit organization with online auction site Charitybuzz for a new initiative: Model Behavior. “We have asked about 30 top models, including Tyra Banks, Eva Herzigova, Brooke Shields, Elle Macpherson and Christy Turlington to donate ‘one frickin dress’ they have worn on the red carpet,” she told PEOPLE. “These gorgeous dresses will be auctioned off on Charitybuzz and the money will go towards buying solar panels for clinics that currently have zero access or very limited access to electricity in Rwanda and Haiti.” Elettra, who recently obtained a master’s degree in biomedicine from the prestigious London School of Economics, is collaborating with Partners In Health (PIH) and Solar Electric Light Fund (SELF) with hopes to raise at least $100,000 for the cause. She joins stars like Selena Gomez, who recently donated a gown to help disadvantaged children via Charitybuzz.

It looks like there will be more than just lingerie-clad models turning heads at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show this year! Katy Perry will be making her own over-the-top fashion statement thanks to designer Todd Thomas. Responsible for Heidi Klum’s post-baby runway triumph, he’s now lending his stylish hand to two sensational outfits for the just-married pop star to perform in. And we’ve got the sneak peak of what the songstress will (and for that matter–won’t) be wearing! One sketch depicts a gown with a corseted top, exposed gams and a flowing train illuminated by fireworks, while the second, which certainly isn’t short on sex appeal, shows Perry in a cutesy bejeweled head scarf and latex petticoat. And here we thought the Bombshell Fantasy Bra would be Best in Show! Tune in to see Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Chanel Iman and more boogie alongside Katy Perry and Akon at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion show, airing Tuesday, Nov. 30 at 10 p.m. EST on CBS. – Justine Harman

Kerry Washington Doesn't Care if she is a Fashion Diego Uchitel

For Colored Girls star Kerry Washington seems to have mastered the art of effortless chic, and now the actress is bringing that same laid back sensibility to holiday dressing in the December issue of Redbook. Demonstrating new ways to spice up the season, the star models unexpected and easy fashion combinations including black sequined leggings from United Colors of Benetton and an oversized winter BCBGMaxAzria sweater for a glamorous daytime look. And she doesn’t care if you love it or hate it, declaring, “If I feel good about what I see in the mirror, who cares if what I’m wearing is a Don’t or a Do?” The only thing as infectious as Washington’s no-fuss approach to style is her enthusiasm for the holidays. “This is the one time of year that I get sparkly for my family and friends,” she says lightheartedly. We’ll bet she sparkles all year round! For a behind-the-scenes look at Kerry’s photo session, visit http://www.redbookmag.com/kerrywashington. – Justine Harman

Armani Sketches the Ultimate Power Suit for Naomi Watts in ‘Fair Game’

Naomi Watts' 'Fair Game' Wardrobe Sketches Revealed Images Courtesy Armani

Putting herself in the shoes of outed CIA agent Valerie Plame Wilson was no easy task for Naomi Watts, but thanks to designer Giorgio Armani, the two were able to connect through fashion. Building on the women’s uncanny likeness and sophisticated taste, Armani and costume designer Cindy Evans got busy creating the character’s strong style. “When I saw the photo of Valerie courageously testifying before Congress, I wanted to play a part in this project,” explained Armani. “To me, that exemplified a power suit moment.” Plame Wilson, an Armani fan, admits that sharp suits provided her with a sense of security while the real-life drama played out. “Armani’s clothes are modern and feminine, always making me look my best and confident,” she said. “This became even more important when I found myself, reluctantly, placed in the public eye.” To check out the rest of Armani’s Fair Game looks, check out Fair Game with Naomi Watts and Sean Penn, in theaters now. –- Justine Harman

While Kristen Stewart and Robert Pattinson are busy heating up the set of Twilight: Breaking Dawn in Rio de Janeiro, fans back in the U.S. are buzzing about which lucky designer will get to dress Stewart’s character, Bella Swan, for her onscreen wedding to Edward Cullen. And just in case Zac Posen gets the job, he’s well prepared. Along with a slew of other designers vying for the project–including Max Azria and Christian Siriano–Posen has already sketched Bella’s dream gown for InStyle.com, turning the book’s vision of Bella’s “stepped out of an Austen movie” dress, into a reality. Posen’s turn-of-the-century creation? A light pink gown, complete with a corset, embellished sleeves and a lift in the front to reveal black lace up boots—adding the perfect vampire edge to Bella’s fairytale moment. And no matter which designer Bella ends up wearing, we can’t wait to see the dress! Check out Zac’s competition at InStyle.com to see sketches by Badgley Mischka, Monique Lhuillier and more. –Jessie Goldberg
