Actress Amber Heard is showing off her greatest assets as the star of the new Guess 2011 fall campaign. The Texas-born beauty, known for her roles in Pineapple Express and Zombieland, was shot by photographer Ellen Von Unwerth for the ads, which will appear in magazines and retail stores later this year. “I’ve been a huge fan of Guess for a long time and to be the new face of the Fall 2011 campaign is very exciting,” Heard said in a statement. “It was such an amazing experience to have been able to work with some of the most creative talents in the industry, such as [brand co-founder] Paul Marciano and Ellen Von Unwerth, who have collaborated on some of the most iconic campaigns in Guess history.” Heard joins the ranks of former sexy Guess girls like Claudia Schiffer, Anna Nicole Smith and France’s first lady, Carla Bruni.

Check Out Clive Owen’s Mustache!

Clive Owen Grows a Mustache
Gregg DeGuire/PictureGroup

Paging Burt Reynolds: Clive Owen is going for your look! The actor surfaced at an L.A. screening of the new film Trust on Monday, where his facial hair took center stage. (Director David Schwimmer had some new fuzz, too!) But it’s not just for fun: he was recently spotted sporting a mustache on the San Francisco set of his TV movie, Hemingway & Gellhorn, which he’s shooting with Nicole Kidman. And while we’re guessing the ‘stache is for his starring role as Ernest Hemingway, the actor has likely worked on the look for a while: the last time he was photographed without his embellished upper lip was in mid-December in Paris. This isn’t the first time the star has grown a mustache for a role; he sported a smaller version while filming The Killer Elite in early 2010. Tell us: What do you think of Owen’s new ‘stache? –Kim Peiffer

FIRST LOOK: David Beckham’s New Adidas Ad

Catch him if you can! Soccer hunk and dad-to-be David Beckham is showing off his skills in a commercial for the new “all Adidas” campaign, which captures the passion athletes, musicians and artists put into their “game.” In Beckham’s spot, which premiered today, the soccer star sports a pair of bright blue ClimaCool Ride shoes and runs through an empty stadium, working his hot bod during some intense warm-ups. The shoe is the brand’s newest pair of kicks, boasting 360-degree ventilation, which attacks the humidity and temperature issues that often cause foot discomfort in athletes. And the footwear is just as fashionable as it is functional — the shoe comes in 26 different hues. Beckham joins Katy Perry, who revealed her fashion inspirations during her colorful shoot, as a face of the campaign. Tell us: What do you think of Beckham’s new ad? –Kim Peiffer

She’s ready for spring! Just Go With It star Brooklyn Decker chopped her lengthy locks Tuesday, lopping 10 inches off her mane in the penthouse suite of the W Hotel in Fort Lauderdale, Fla. “I love!!” the model-turned-actress Tweeted, thanking stylist Ted Gibson and colorist Jason Backe for the new look. “Brooklyn’s updated, modern bob is on trend for 2011,” Gibson tells PEOPLE. “Shorter hair can be sexy, confident and super modern, and I think hair that is too long isn’t chic or fashionable right now.” Decker also changed up her solid blonde hue, letting Backe add some dimension to her color. “I incorporated two trends: gold tones — super hot for spring and summer! — and bold, contrasting ribbons of blonde,” he explains. “[We're] stepping away from the monochromatic or subtle tone-on-tone looks from the last few seasons.” Though Decker, who’s married to tennis star Andy Roddick, wasn’t able to donate her hair to Locks of Love — “my hair was colored so I couldn’t,” she told followers — she does seem to love the new do: she Tweeted three photos of it!

Remembering Elizabeth Taylor’s Style and Grace

She had her first big hit at just 12 years old, and from that point on, Elizabeth Taylor was a style icon. The dark-haired beauty with the violet eyes, who passed away Wednesday at the age of 79, stunned in dramatic Oscar gowns, boldly embraced fashion trends and became known for her affinity for brilliant baubles. She received a 29-carat diamond ring from third husband Michael Todd, but that was trumped by the sparklers gifted to her by fifth husband Richard Burton: the 33-carat Krupp diamond, 69-carat Taylor-Burton diamond (pictured, purchased for more than $1 million!) and a 50-carat, pear-shaped La Peregrina Pearl. In her later years, Taylor also launched three fragrances for Elizabeth Arden, Passion, Black Pearls and White Diamonds; the latter remains a best seller almost 20 years after its introduction in 1991. “She built a fragrance empire and one of the most successful brands in fragrance history,” Elizabeth Arden CEO E. Scott Beattie said in a statement. “She will be deeply missed.” For more of the star’s most stunning style moments, visit our gallery, Elizabeth Taylor’s Fabulous Fashions & Jewels. –Kate Hogan

Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Measure Up With The Row

Even before receiving recognition from the CFDA for their achievements in womenswear, Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen had high hopes for their designer collection, The Row. “We hired a showroom and talked buyers through,” Ashley recalls in the April issue of Vogue. “People would drill us about fabric, where we’d make it,” chimes in Mary-Kate. And though buyers were initially skeptical of the line, it soon became clear that the girls’ vision addressed a void in women’s closets. “The first season, customers bought it, so the stores came back,” Mary-Kate boasts. Self-conscious of their diminutive size (they check in at 5’1″), the designers credit this very shortcoming with teaching them the importance of tailoring. “There would be five or six racks of clothes [on set], and they cut them down to fit us — even Chanel,” says Mary-Kate of early life in television and movies. Now, both fashion critics and Hollywood players are taking notice of The Row’s flattering cuts. “It’s beautifully tailored in a modern way. It just fits, chicly,” raves supermodel and friend Lauren Hutton. “It’s classicist, no-bother stuff. I live in it.” To read more about the Olsens’ trip from once-mini moguls to fashion megaminds, check out the full story on vogue.com. –Justine Harman
