Is This Woman the ‘Ultimate Celebrity’?

Apparently, the public doesn’t find just one star sexy enough. British beauty site FeelUnique.com recently ran a poll to find the world’s “Ultimate Celebrity” — a woman who has the best traits from some of the world’s most beautiful women — and created this mash-up using the most popular elements of today’s hottest stars.

According to the results, the Ultimate Celebrity has the glossy brunette locks of the Duchess of Cambridge, the eyebrows of Megan Fox, the eyes of X Factor judge Cheryl Cole and the nose of Kate Beckinsale.

For her cheekbones, voters preferred those of Keira Knightley; her lips are those of Angelina Jolie and her chin is borrowed from Gwyneth Paltrow. For the ideal chest, voters selected Kelly Brook (link slightly NSFW), a British model-actress and former Playboy pin-up.

FeelUnique.com likens the outcome to “Angelina’s long-lost sister,” though we could see her fitting in with the Kardashians, as well. Then again, the whole thing is feeling a little S1m0ne to us. Tell us: What do you think of the “Ultimate Celebrity”? Whose elements would you use to create the perfect woman?

Angelina Jolie’s Directorial Dress: Basic Black

She’s always been taken seriously as an actress thanks to roles in films like A Mighty Heart and her Oscar win for Girl, Interrupted, but with her directorial debut In the Land of Blood and Honey hitting theaters Dec. 23, Angelina Jolie is seemingly taking her style to a more sophisticated level.

Jolie premiered the film in New York City on Monday wearing a floor-length black silk Ralph Lauren skirt and equally flowy top. The next night, she went to a Marie Claire-sponsored screening of the movie wearing black velveteen slacks and a matching tuxedo jacket by L’Agence, with a shiny black blouse to match.

Though Jolie wears a lot of black in her daily life — and on the red carpet — many of her recent outings have been punctuated by brighter colors, higher hemlines and a bit more skin. Perhaps the actress is trying to dress the part of director — or maybe she was just inspired by the gloomy New York City weather. Tell us: Do you like Jolie’s dark and sophisticated getups?

VIDEO: Angelina Jolie Visits Cambodia for Louis Vuitton

Looking serene while taking in the sights and sounds around her, Angelina Jolie appears in a new video that coincides with her “Core Values” campaign for Louis Vuitton. “In 2000, Angelina Jolie made her first trip to Cambodia,” a caption reads. “It was a journey that would change her life forever.” In fact, the actress first spent time in the Southeast Asian nation while filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider, and was “overwhelmed by the beauty of its landscapes and the warmth and generosity of its people,” according to a release. She later returned in her role with the United Nations, raising awareness about landmines, and famously adopted her eldest son, Maddox, from a local orphanage. (She even has Cambodian citizenship!) Jolie is the latest celebrity to star in Vuitton’s “Core Values” campaign, which has also featured luminaries like Bono, Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell, Sally Ride and Mikhail Gorbachev. Her first stunning ad was released earlier this month, and a longer video will hit louisvuitton.com in July.

Angelina Jolie’s First Louis Vuitton Ad Revealed

The rumors were true: Angelina Jolie is indeed the new face of Louis Vuitton. The actress’s first ad for the company’s “Core Values” campaign was released today, featuring the star afloat on a boat in Cambodia’s Siem Reap province. Wearing her own clothes, no makeup and her own years-old monogrammed Alto bag, Jolie looks at peace in her photograph. “People are not used to seeing Angelina in this situation,” Vuitton’s executive vice president Pietro Beccari tells WWD. “I like the fact that it’s a real moment. This travel message we give through personal journeys is a fundamental one for the brand. This campaign is about a very special person and a very special journey.” In fact, Cambodia is the country from which Jolie adopted eldest son Maddox, and where she and partner Brad Pitt later established a foundation in the 9½-year-old’s name. Jolie follows in the footsteps of luminaries like Bono, Buzz Aldrin, Jim Lovell, Sally Ride and Mikhail Gorbachev, all of whom have posed for the “Core Values” campaign, as well as Madonna, Jennifer Lopez and Scarlett Johansson, all former faces of Vuitton. Jolie’s ad will break in the International Herald Tribune Wednesday, and is expected to run in various publications for about 18 months. And though the handbag she carries in her ad is no longer in production, Jolie’s love of the piece is causing the company to consider “re-editing” it, Beccari says. He would not discuss the amount Jolie was paid for the campaign, but says she did donate an undisclosed portion of her fees to charity.  Tell us: What do you think of Jolie’s ad? Kate Hogan
