Whatever Dita Von Teese is selling, we're buying! Could she be any cooler or more glamorous? And forget the shopping guilt; a portion of the proceeds of a "Dita Von Tee" or any of the other celebrity-designed tops go to a very important cause: AIDS awareness.

Today, H&M launches Fashion Against AIDS, for which some of the hottest names in showbiz, including Katy Perry (shown above in her own leotard design), Estelle (who hosted last night's aunch party), Cyndi Lauper, N.E.R.D. and Yoko Ono, collaborated to design 80's-inspired organic cotton T-shirts (or leotards in KP's case); 25 percent of the proceeds will be donated to fighting AIDS.

Olivia Wilde in Ralph Lauren - I Want That!

Email thisPosted Mar 3rd 2009 at 2:00PM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Get the Look

When we think of Olivia Wilde many words come to mind – sexy, colorful, playful, simple, and sophisticated. We think she just does a supreme job of looking totally hot, young, and fresh while still keeping everything under wraps. Her gown at the 17th Annual Elton John AIDS Foundation Academy Award Viewing Party was no different.

Oh. My. God. Why are French people so cool? Is it just us? No it couldn't be. It's just Carla Bruni-Sarkozy, the First Lady of France, doing her thing at an AIDS event in this incredible strapless, cobalt blue gown.

Fergie Gets Photoshopped and Feathered

Celebrity Fashion Ads

Fergie for M.A.C.'s VIVA GLAM collection
Fabulous, feathered, and just a little airbrushed.

MAC Cosmetics

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?

Miu Miu/Armani

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

Louis Vuitton

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

Miu Miu

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

Jordache

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

Kate Moss

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

Liv Tyler

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

Maggie Gyllenhaal

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).

Eva Mendes

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

Louis Vuitton

We already know Fergie loves cosmetics by M.A.C. -- after all, it's the brand she chose to wear for her recent wedding. But, M.A.C. also loves Fergie -- she's the current face of their VIVA GLAM collection, and the ads show a fabulously feathered Fergie. And, unless M.A.C. does a better job at hiding flaws than we thought, there was a wee bit of airbrushing going on, too.

The shots, as you can see in the gallery, are sexy and surreal (and kind of makes us wish we had occasion to wear feathered corsets). And as hot as the photos are, they weren't taken strictly to garner attention for the VIVA GLAM line -- she's promoting a limited edition cosmetic for the company to help HIV/AIDS Awareness charities. The singer hopes this will help educate her fans about the dangers of the disease.

You know, we'd like to be all upset about the photoshopping being done here -- she's a beautiful woman wearing a ton of makeup to begin with -- but we think we're just becoming numb. And the fact is, if they hadn't airbrushed her, somebody would probably be writing about the fact that she didn't look like a dewy 20 year old. We're just going to focus on where to get one of those feathered numbers.

I want that! Yellow Ralph Lauren gown

Email thisPosted Jul 26th 2008 at 10:41AM by Boydie Beener

Filed under: Get the Look

Kelly Roland looks picture perfect in this eye popping dress by Ralph Lauren at Alicia Key's party, the Black Ball UK in London, which benefited the "Keep a Child Alive" HIV/AIDS charity.

Though this dress is quiet fancy here, we just couldn't help ourselves. Kelly looks gorgeous in the color and we can never, ever, ever get enough of Ralph Lauren's simple yet elegant clothes. To us, Ralph Lauren clothes are like sugar because you can mix it into anything you want. This dress would look equally as good with a pair of jeweled flats in St. Tropez. Fan.tas.tic.

And there's the always beautiful Alicia, seemingly dressed down at her own event but plugging her Obama support nontheless. Go B.O.!

Trend alert: George Bush prints

If you live in Tanzania, chances are that you're seeing tons of George Bush's face. Not just on the news, but on people's clothing. From halters to handbags, Africans are sporting W's face like it's a designer logo.

What's up with that? I immediately thought: these people must be getting paid. And I was right, sort of. Apparently, people in Africa do love the guy for sending tons of cash their way. But, it's actually aid money that's going toward fighting diseases -- especially AIDS.

I doubt you'll see anyone wearing these where you live -- since he hasn't been all that popular elsewhere. At least he's doing something that most Americans can get behind.

M.A.C. raises $100 million for AIDS research

Email thisPosted Nov 14th 2007 at 1:32PM by Lauren Messiah

Filed under: Cosmetics, Style for a Cause

One of the most successful campaigns in the beauty world is M.A.C's Viva Glam campaign. When you purchase Viva Glam products at M.A.C., 100 percent of the sales go towards M.A.C.'s AIDS Fund, which raises money to fight HIV and AIDS globally. This Fall M.A.C. has reached an incredible milestone by raising $100 million dollars. This milestone has been 13 years in the making and M.A.C will continue to raise money as they set their next goal.

Aside from having great Viva Glam products to purchase, celebrities have lent their fame to campaign as well. In the past Viva Glam spokespersons have been Ru Paul (the first spokesperson), Eve, Christina Aguilera, Lil' Kim, Missy Elliot, and many more. The next spokesperson will be none other than singer Stacy "Fergie" Ferguson.

Viva Glam products are for sale year round, so head to your M.A.C counter and support a good cause.

Political fashion by Heavy Rotation

Email thisPosted Sep 21st 2006 at 12:25PM by Anne Metz

Filed under: Clothing

Is it possible to wear your politics? I mean, in some fashion than the usual 19-year-old-in-a-Che-Guevara-t-shirt kind of way?

Sure, people have worn political buttons for years, and ribbons (red for AIDS awareness, pink for breast cancer awareness and so on) and wristbands (yellow for the Lance Armstrong Foundation and cancer awareness, green for Darfur awareness). But is it possible to be both stylish and political?

Heavy Rotation believes you can be stylish, political and ambiguous. On the back of this vintage fatigue jacket is, yes, a patch of camouflage. But look closely, my friends -- inside the camouflage you'll see a white dove.

Definitely cooler than a bumper sticker, but at $68, it's also way more expensive.
