After two seasons as the face of Louis Vuitton, the Queen of Pop is ready to take on her next high-fashion challenge: modeling for Dolce & Gabbana! The Italian design duo announced on their online magazine Swide.com, that Madonna will be the face of their Spring/Summer 2010 campaign. This won’t be the first time the Italian designers have teamed up with Madonna. They first collaborated with the star back in the early ’90s when they designed the iconic costumes for her 1993 The Girlie Show tour and then, just last year, they designed costumes for her return to the stage during the Sticky and Sweet tour. “To have Madonna in our campaign is a dream come true,” Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana tell their online magazine. And with their Sicilian-inspired Spring/Summer collection revisiting iconic pieces, such as their signature corset, it is only fitting that Madonna, who shares an Italian heritage with the designers, brings the collection to life. Madonna’s Dolce & Gabbana ads were shot last week in New York City by photographer Steven Klein. We can’t wait to see the photos! Tell us: Are you excited to see Madonna as the face of Dolce & Gabbana?

Demi Moore might be the not-so-secret inspiration behind — and face of — the Helena Rubinstein fragrance All You’ve Ever Wanted, but at the U.S. launch event for the scent in New York, the actress tells WWD that the relationship won’t end there. Demi reveals that she is in a “very deep and serious conversation” with the beauty brand about “giving me an opportunity to create my own line.” Although the star didn’t elaborate about what the line will encompass, she did talk about what motivates her to want to continue her role with Helena Rubinstein. “I feel like I have a greater creative opportunity in working with something where we could really form a true partnership and be really mutually beneficial,” she explains.

Ho! Ho! Ho! The always upbeat Queen Latifah will bring joyous good cheer to Macy’s this year, starring in the retailer’s new seasonal TV commercials, which break Nov. 6. Part of Macy’s “Believe” campaign, the nostalgic commercials are called “The Trek” and are inspired by the famous New York Sun editorial “Yes, Virginia, There is a Santa Claus” from 1897. The spots feature “Virginia” on a journey from her home to Macy’s, where Queen Latifah helps her mail her letter to Santa. Macy’s “Believe” campaign, which supports the Make-A-Wish Foundation, also includes a national Santa tour, an honorary National Believe Day, a “Yes, Virginia” animated special and letter-writing “Believe” stations in Macy’s stores across the country. For each letter received, Macy’s will donate $1 to the Make-A-Wish Foundation, up to $1 million. This is not the first time Latifah has worked with Macy’s; she was part of the retailer’s “Come Together” fall campaign and also sells a fragrance at the store called “Queen.” –Kristin Larson

New year, stunning new model! Victoria’s Secret has announced that supermodel and Angel Marisa Miller will follow in Gisele Bundchen’s sexy stilettos as the crown jewel of the next Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show wearing a $3 million diamond-studded bra created by Damiani — and she’s talking exclusively with PEOPLE about her dazzling new role. “It is an enormous honor to wear the Fantasy bra,” says Marisa. “It’s one of the main features in the Fashion Show every year and I’m so excited to walk the runway in it.” And while last year’s model mixed over 2,900 diamonds and 22 rubies in a floral pattern, this year it’s all about a girl’s best friend. Miller says, “The diamonds are in a harlequin pattern and contain white, champagne and cognac colored diamonds. There is also a 16-carat heart shaped champagne diamond pendant dangling in the middle.” And the supermodel continues, this is one case of not having to suffer for beauty. “It is surprisingly comfortable,” she says, “because the Damiani diamonds are embroidered onto the VS Very Sexy Convertible bra — which is actually one of my favorites.” Set your DVR to CBS on Tuesday December 1st at 10:00 PM ET/PT to catch Marisa and the full lineup of models, including Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr and Doutzen Kroes, plus a performance by the Black Eyed Peas.
