WATCH: Megan Fox ‘Transforms’ in New Giorgio Armani Beauty Ad


Megan Fox is heating up yet another campaign for Giorgio Armani, this time lending her seductive appeal as the face of Giorgio Armani Beauty. Replacing her sexy underwear ad with a face-focused cosmetics campaign, the Armani spokesmodel transforms from a dewy and fresh-faced natural beauty into a glamorous smokey eyed starlet–complete with bold red lips and nails. And while we have no complaints about her smoking hot lingerie short where she strips down to Armani skivvies, we’re all about this new feminine spot emphasising some of the star’s other striking assets. Tell us: What do you think about Megan Fox’s latest Giorgio Armani beauty campaign? Jessie Goldberg

Christina Aguilera Spills on Her Seductive New Scents and Beauty Tips

Never shy about experimenting with her personal style, Christina Aguilera often turns to makeup to create statement-making looks (signature red lip, anyone?). And now, with two new fragrances out on the market, the sexy Burlesque star is extending that bold approach to scent. “Growing up, I used to play with all the fragrances in my mother’s vanity,” she tells PEOPLE. “She had a taste for musky, sensual scents.” These same warm tones can also be found in Christina’s latest perfumes: the eponymous Christina Aguilera, easy-to-wear with its exotic and fruity profile; and Christina Aguilera by Night, a more intense blend with amber and black vanilla notes. Both are sold exclusively at Kohl’s for $39 (50ml), with gift sets available for $42. Outside of fragrance, the newly-turned 30 year-old sticks to simple rules for looking her best. “Stay hydrated, moisturize and get enough sleep,” she shares. “I never go to sleep with makeup on and always moisturize my face and lips. I try to condition my hair as much as possible.” Tell us: Will you buy Christina Aguilera’s new fragrances? – Hana Choi; reporting by Katherine Kluznik Rentmeester

Alberta Ferretti to Send Camilla Belle and Other ‘Real Women’ Down the Runway

Alberta Ferretti Shuns Models, Taps Camilla Belle, for Upcoming Runway Show
Ramey

While they may be a ways off from “real women,” the announcement that notables like actress Camilla Belle will be walking in Alberta Ferretti’s upcoming runway show in Italy came as a welcome surprise. “My muses are always the women of today. I wanted to show my outfits on women, not only on models like in Milan,” Ferretti told WWD of the limited-edition collection that she designed and will show at the international exhibition Pitti Uomo on Jan. 11. While the fashion industry has come under fire for its employment of too-thin models, Ferretti’s choice to send a psychologist, lawyer and blogger along with Italian socialites and actresses down the catwalk next month comes just a few months after designers Zac Posen and Jean Paul Gaultier cast plus-size model Crystal Renn to walk in their shows during Paris Fashion Week. In conjunction with the unorthodox line-up, Ferretti joins Aeffe Group to pledge a donation to The Jordan River Foundation, a nonprofit Jordanian organization that works to empower women and children. About the upcoming collection, which she described as “demi-couture,” the designer says, “This show will be about women and not only the clothes.” Tell us: Do you think the push for “real women” as models is a step in the right direction for the fashion industry?

Would You Wear Bobby Pins Like Diane Kruger?

Would You Wear Bobby Pins Like Diane Kruger? KCSPresse/Splash News Online

Diane Kruger’s adventurous approach to beauty has inspired more than a few winning looks, both on and off the red carpet. It seems like every time the actress steps out, she’s trying out a new lip color or a gorgeous new do. And the style star’s affinity for experimentation extends to hair accessories, from simple black headbands to jewel-encrusted clips. For the premiere of Lily Sometimes in Paris last month, the actress set off her diamond earrings and elegant blonde updo with inexpensive drugstore bobby pins. And while Diane, with her natural good looks and her stunning sense of style, can probably pull off just about any look, including bold black bobby pins, we want to know what you think. Tell us: Do you like Diana’s simple hair accessories? Vote in our poll below!

Kate Middleton’s Latest Designer of Choice: Temperley London

Kate Middleton gave her blessing to another designer Saturday when she attended her first official outing with Prince William since the engagement. The princess-to-be strolled confidently into the charity gala event to aid Teenage Cancer Trust in a cream and black silk chiffon ‘Titan’ dress by British designer Alice Temperley, showing off its beaded decorative collar, but hiding the three-quarter length puffed sleeves under a fitted black jacket. “The dress has a very flattering cut,” a spokesperson for the designer told PEOPLE, adding, “I’m not sure where she got it. She must have bought it.” Temperley, who is known for her elegant, feminine designs, has three stand alone boutiques in London, L.A. and N.Y.C., but fashionistas won’t be able to buy into this look of Kate’s: the £895 ($1393) dress, from the Temperley London’s fall 2009 collection, has completely sold out. –Liz Corcoran
