If you haven’t yet heard, Shopbop got a facelift. And not only is the site rocking a brand new look, but it’s also calling on some of fashion’s biggest names to promote its new video game (yes, it has a video game). Shopbop’s version of Angry Birds — dubbed the “Launch Pad” — parodies the shopping site’s mission to “launch” fashion to the masses.

The game also shows a side to fashion that’s rarely seen: its sense of humor. To spread the word about the new venture, the site created hilarious vignettes starring Rachel Zoe, La La Anthony, Camilla Belle, stylist June Ambrose and designers Thakoon and Rachel Roy (among others). The first installment features designer Chris Benz and some unlikely Shopbop workers. Check it out above.

You’ve heard Emmy Rossum — now it’s Camilla Belle’s turn! The actress shares her sweet singing voice in her new ad for Cotton, debuting Friday on network television and Sunday on cable.

In the spot — which follows the actress through Los Angeles to dance class, a piano session and the theater — Belle wears colorful cotton fashions from Thakoon, Prada, Marc Jacobs and Milly.

Belle’s moment in the spotlight is the second half of Cotton’s new “Tale of Two Cities” campaign, which tracks her happenings in L.A. and Rossum’s daily life in New York City. The initiative is designed to showcase the versatility of cotton fashions inspired by the two hot spots — and everywhere in between.

Sure she has a Broadway background, but we haven’t heard Emmy Rossum sing pop like this in quite some time! The Shameless star works her pipes as the face of the new Cotton Incorporated “Fabric of Our Lives” campaign, singing the iconic jingle while running around New York City.

But that’s just the half of it: Camilla Belle is another face of the company, and stars in a similar spot that takes place in Los Angeles. Together, the girls’ ads make up a “Tale of Two Cities” theme that showcases the versatility of cotton fashions inspired by, you guessed it, New York and L.A.

We have already seen literal interpretations of menswear for the ladies, but fashion’s boldest trendsetters re-imagined the trend in a variety of ways — all in the last day! The latest iterations of the look range from the risqué to the buttoned-up, but always include stylishly sexy details. Tuesday night, Cate Blanchett opted for a black-and-white look, selecting crisp white trousers and shiny lapels for the IWC “A Night in Portofino” gala in Geneva, Switzerland. In L.A., Camilla Belle was spotted pairing high-waisted tuxedo trousers with a gauzy nude bandeau, revealing her toned abdomen at the premiere of From Prada to Nada. And back across the pond, Kylie Minogue ramped up a classic suit with a sheer blouse, breezy bow and crimped updo. We applaud Hollywood’s affirmation that behind every menswear-inspired look is a strong woman, but want your opinion. Tell us: Are you riding the coattails of the latest menswear trend? Are you ready to add a pantsuit to your going-out wardrobe?–Justine Harman

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? –Justine Harman
