Filed under: Celebrities with Style

Celebrity Fashion Ads

    Scarlett Johansson is the golden girl for champagne manufacturer Moët & Chandon's new campaign.

    Bar Rafaeli, Leonardo DiCaprio's stunning model girlfriend, is the face of British retailer Marks & Spencer's new lingerie line.

    Pam Anderson's new campaign for Vivienne Westwood is surprisingly hot. The blonde bombshell and her heaving, inflated bosoms aren't usually found in fashion mags -- but the quirky combo of Playboy centerfold and designer threads seems to work.

    Katie and Posh's Dueling Ads
    We know it's tough to tell the difference, but that's Katie Holmes on the left for Miu Miu and Victoria Beckham baring (nearly) all for Giorgio Armani. The campaigns launched within days of one another -- so the question is: who's hotter?

    Madonna for Louis Vuitton
    Anyone else tired of the trademark Madonna crotch shot?

    Kirsten Dunst for Miu Miu
    We prefer Katie Holmes, hands down.

    Heidi Klum for Jordache
    The jean company was apparently trying to target the "hot mom" demographic.

    Kate Moss for Agent Provocateur
    Arguably the iconic lingerie maker's most famous star.

Scar Jo is a lot of things: smoldering, sexy, husky-voiced, and of course talented. But one word we never thought to use for her was bubbly -- until now!


Delish champagne maker Moet & Chandon has chosen Johansson to star in a new set of print ads, marking the first time the brand will use a Hollywood name and face. The ad images feature a sexy Scarlett posing with the champagne in various suggestive positions - our fave (pictured) features the star holding a champagne glass with her toes.

At just 24, the young actress has plenty of reasons to raise a glass and toast. She looks great, her career is trucking along, and last year she wed hunky funny man, Ryan Reynolds.

Does she make him take his shirt off as soon as he walks in the door? And then bring her a glass of Moet & Chandon? We'll just have to wait (and hope) for a series of TV commercials!

Britney's Candies Ads Are Out!

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style

britney for candies
We told you last month that Britney is the new face of Candies, and, unsurprisingly, she's the body, too. And what a body! We're sure there was some airbrushing involved -- when is there not? -- but Britney looks young, fresh, and sexy. See for yourself!

Celeb Fashion Lines

    These days, no self respecting celebrity can hold her (or his) head up in Hollywood without a clothing, shoe, handbag, or home furnishings line to call their own. But are these stars really qualified to add designer to their resume? StyleList puts them to the test. First up...
    Celeb:Taylor Swift
    Fashion Line: L.E.I. Sundresses by Taylor Swift
    Qualifications:The young country singer is releasing a line of frocks this February that her die-hard fans will love and moms can afford. We're sure Swift's brand will expand into denim.

    Charley Gallay, Getty Images

    Celeb: Dita Von Teese
    Fashion Line: Science of Sexy for Wonderbra
    Qualifications: This burlesque bombshell spends most of her time in scanty skivvies, so we're absolutely confident she is capable of creating amazing lingerie! Of her '40s and '50s-inspired line Von Teese says "Underwear isn't just something that you put on for your lover -- you wear it for you."

    Celeb: Lauren Bush
    Fashion Line:Lauren Pierce (hits stores in Spring 2009)
    Qualifications: An alum of both Parsons New School for Design in NYC and Central Saint Martins College in London, first niece and former model Lauren Bush definitely has a solid design foundation. Add to that an internship at Zac Posen, a boyfriend with a designer dad (her main squeeze is Ralph Lauren's son) and the success of the popular FEED bags she designed to benefit the U.N.'s World Food Program, and it looks like Ms. Bush has the chops to make her ready-to-wear sustainable fabrics line a hit.

    Celeb: Eva Mendes
    Fashion Line: Vida for Macy's
    Qualifications: Calvin Klein's latest controversial ad campaigns features a naked Eva Mendes rolling around on a bed, so perhaps her new venture isn't really all that surprising. The actress and her boyfriend, film producer George Augusto, are launching a collection of sheets and comforters. While neither has any design background, we're betting the betting the lovebirds know how to make a cozy nest.

    Celeb: Mischa Barton
    Fashion Line: Mischa Barton for Stacey Lapidus
    Qualifications:The former O.C. star gets more ink these days for her hair accessories than her acting jobs so maybe this is a brilliant career move: She's coming out with a line of headbands made from a wide array of materials including silk, feathers and crystals, ranging in price from $40-$200.

    Astrid Stawiarz, Getty Images

    Celeb: Janet Jackson
    Fashion Line:Pleasure Principle
    Qualifications:Named after her 1987 hit, the fancy pants (and matching bras) will all retail for under $40. "There's something for every woman, and that's very important to us," Jackson says. "I've always hated when lingerie is uncomfortable, so the fit and comfort was key." Nothing nasty about that, Miss Jackson.

    Celeb: Lenny Kravtiz
    Fashion Line: Inspired by Lenny, Worn by You at Kohls
    Qualifications:Hmmm, we're not sure that even Lenny's biggest fans would be inspired to wear this denim, fringe and wings ensemble, but fortunately for those who do want to emulate the the rocker's style, his jeans and t-shirts line for Kohls is a bit more traditional.

    Kevin Mazur, WireImage

    Celeb: Tara Reid
    Fashion Line: Manta
    Qualifications:Sometimes an actress, always a party girl, and now a designer. According to Reid her little triangles of Lycra are more than simple poolside attire, "It's about putting into the universe what you want in life: Red means love, pink is friendship, green is lucky, black is protection. You're gonna have a story when you wear this bikini or when you put this dress on: You'll either get love or meet a new friend or you might meet a guy." Big promises from little bikinis!

    Casey Rodgers, WireImage.com

    Celeb: Katie Holmes
    Fashion Line: Holmes/Yang for Giorgio Armani
    Qualifications: Mrs. Tom Cruise created her own storm at the LA premiere of "Tropic Thunder," debuting the first piece from her collection with stylist pal Jeanne Yang. But given the dress's sleek lines and navy blue fabric two Giorgio Armani trademarks it's a good bet that Katie got more than a little help from her silver-haired mentor.

    Wireimage.com

    Celeb: La Lohan
    Fashion Line: 6126 Leggings
    Qualifications:Lindsay Lohan's collection owes its name to Marilyn Monroe born on 6/1/26 but it doesn't look like she captured what made the '50s bombshell so sexy. Does the modern American woman really need leopard print "ankle gloves"? Or glimmer leggings? Seems like La Lohan is channeling no one but...Lindsay.

Katie for Miu Miu, Posh for Giorgio Armani

    Liv Tyler for Gap
    The actress helped boost the fledgling brand as it tried to overhaul its image.

    Maggie Gyllenhaal for Agent Provocateur
    No stranger to seduction, the Secretary star was stunning in this sexy lingerie.

    Eva Mendes for Calvin Klein
    The TV ads for this campaign are so racy that they were banned in the US (and then subsequently made famous on the Internet).

    Scarlet Johannson for Louis Vuitton
    Is there ever a moment when ScarJo doesn't look absolutely gorgeous?

    Teri Hatcher for Badgley Mischka
    The Desperate Housewives star shows she's still got it.



Is Katie Holmes slowly morphing into Victoria Beckham? First the fashion rivarly, then the increasingly-shorter haircuts, and now these new ads in which Katie almost freakishly resembles her friend and fashion mentor. In fact both have launched campaigns this week -- Katie for Miu Miu and Victoria for Giorgio Armani. Posh looks amazing as always, but we're more impressed by Mrs. Cruise.

Stacy London Uses Pantene and Her Hair Looks Great

Filed under: Hair Care, Celebrities with Style, Hair Cut and Style



When it comes to hair products, our opinion is equally divided between "drugstore practical" and "pricey salon splurge". And given the state of the economy, we must admit that lately drugstore brands like Pantene have been showing up in our shower with increasing regularity.

Ugly "Wudi" Only Loves (Sponsored By) Dove Products

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style


The opening credits for Ugly Wudi

Sure, all shows do some product placement. 30 Rock even makes a big joke of it, building it into the storyline. But Unilever has taken it to a ridiculous level in China. They aren't just doing product placement -- they own a whole show!

Unilever is the parent of Dove products, which were selling poorly in China under the "Campaign for Real Beauty." Rather than try a new campaign, their agency came up with the idea of producing a Chinese version of Ugly Betty -- Ugly "Wudi" -- who becomes beautiful by using Dove products.

(Wait, isn't the point of Ugly Betty about internal beauty?)

Anyway, as the exclusive sponsor, Unilever owns all of the commercials, all of the product placement, and even the script!

The show's star, Lin Wudi, gets gorgeous when, inspired by the ad campaign she is creating for Dove products, starts using them. The marketing team from Unilever managed to get 3,300 seconds of Dove brand into the first season of the show.

So what is this? A season long infomercial? Some kind of hybrid ad-tertainment? Genius marketing? Or an evil melange of all three?

Or is it just the future of ads and network television?

Macy's Holiday ad Campaign: Full of Stars and Good Will

Filed under: Style in the News

Eva Mendes CK fragrance ads too hot for TV

Filed under: Style in the News, Fragrance, Celebrities with Style


It was just a couple weeks ago that recently-rehabbed actress Eva Mendes appeared in Vogue Germany -- for the most part without her clothes. And now, word 'round the Internet is that the star's latest ad campaign is similarly scandalous.

The TV spots are for a new Calvin Klein fragrance called Secret Obsession, and apparently clearly show Eva "having illicit thoughts." So illicit, in fact, that they're making network TV sensors very uncomfortable -- which means the ads will likely never see the light of day.

Naomi Watts gets 'Angelic' for Thierry Mugler

Filed under: Style in the News, Fragrance, Celebrities with Style


Clearly it's not enough for Naomi Watts to be just an Oscar-nominated actress with a beautiful baby and a super-famous best friend. No, the King Kong and Funny Games star has designs on the modeling industry, too -- she has just been signed up as the first celebrity face of Thierry Mugler's Iconic Angel perfume.


Any eagle-eyed dress-watchers at the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Institute Gala Benefit in New York last week will have spotted the suitably angelic appearance of Watts' dress... of course, it was a Mugler design. Crafty.

Beyonce shows the pimp-tacular side of kindergarten

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style, Kids and Babies



We're dying to know who, upon seeing the new ads for the House of Dereon's clothing line for little girls, has any desire to buy these clothes for their daughters. Beyonce and her mother, Tina Knowles, are the brains behind the collection, so we suppose it's not a huge surprise that the inventors of bootyliciousness would come up with kids' clothes that are a little edgy, but these ads are just ... well, take a look through the gallery and decide for yourself!

To be fair, the clothing itself isn't all that bad. Not good, either, but not quite as "Go on, baby, and earn your lunch money the old fashioned way" as the ads make them appear. But seriously, who's going to want their daughter associated with the clothing in these ads? You know, besides Mrs. Knowles ...

Kate Moss does artsy lingerie movies for Agent Provocateur

Filed under: Swimwear and Lingerie, Celebrities with Style




As we mentioned before, Kate Moss has returned to Agent Provocateur, starring in the lingerie-maker's latest batch of advertisements. But instead of sticking to a straight-up print campaign, the company has decided to create six pseudo-artsy, mostly pretentious videos of Moss prancing around in her skivvies.

Each video is based on one of the high-concept (and kind of racy) print ads, which are supposed to convey "the demise of a bride's 'big day' and serialize the unraveling of the religious organization behind it." Heavy stuff -- and it gets heavier. Each ad is based on one of the following themes: The Happiest Day of Her Life, The Garden of Eden, Bad News, Frenzy, Revenge, and Let Them Eat Kate.

Confused yet? So are we. Check out the gallery to see if you can figure which ad is supposed to go with which concept. Honestly we have no idea.

Barnyard runway fashion: Best. Video. Ever.

Filed under: Stores We Love, Videos



Finally, the runway show you've been waiting your whole life to see. Cows, goats, and more, all strutting down the runway, acting like divas, and puking in the bathroom -- just like real models!

It's an ad for Harvey Nichols, an upscale UK department store that sells clothing, home accessories, and -- somewhat randomly -- food. Embracing the oddity of combing eating and fashion, the company came up with the above TV spot -- which is totally genius.

If you're as enamored as I am, keep reading for a behind-the-scenes "making of" video that shows you how the whole thing came together. It must have been a nightmare coordinating all those animals!

StyleFoul: Lame holiday slogans

Filed under: Holiday Style, Stores We Love

Good slogans make you want to run out and buy while bad slogans make you want to run the other direction. Every year consumers are forced to suffer through a new series of catch-less catch-phrases intended to make you feel something you wouldn't otherwise feel: the urge to shop (or in the case of bad slogans, the urge to vomit).

The BBC Magazine Monitor has started a new feature called the "Lame-o Xmas Slogan Watch." Just for fun, I've created a list of a few holiday slogans I love to hate.

Here are my current favorite adverto-bombs:

Merry Cashmere (The Gap): What does that even mean?
Peace, Love the Gap (The Gap): What, did you just randomly decide to drop the "and"?
Thank Virgin it's Christmas (Virgin Records): Shouldn't we be thanking Sir Richard instead?
Every kiss begins with Kay (Kay Jewelers): Actually, it doesn't.
Have a priceless Christmas with Mastercard (Mastercard): Have a 18% APR Christmas with Mastercard!
Merry Clinique (Clinique): More like "Spare Me Clinique."
Give Heaps Get Happy (Old Navy): Give Hives Get Heaves.

So tell me, which holiday slogans are driving you crazy?
