Victoria Secret takes over the September GQ cover

Filed under: Style in the News, Celebrities with Style



What in the world could push a headline about the so-hot and so-interesting Barack Obama to the very bottom of the cover of GQ? A bevy of Victoria Secret models in underwear, of course.

The September issue of GQ is expected to be one of their biggest ever, with Heidi Klum and her sexy lady friends like Adriana Lima, Marisa Miller, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Miranda Kerr, Izabel Goulart, Selita Ebanks, Isabelli Fontana, Candice Swanepole, Julia Stegner, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley gracing the (fold out) cover and several pages inside.

The spread was photographed by Gavin Bond and features a literally wild selection of outfits: zebra stripes, leopard spots, scales, feathers, and oh yeah, tons of skin.

We don't have much to add. This is more of a visual story, you know?

Hot for summer: Jumpsuit shorts

Filed under: Celebrities with Style


At first we thought maybe this was one of those crazy looks that only celebrities could pull off. But, after witnessing similar outfits in the real world, we've been pulled over to the dark side of jumpsuit shorts -- also known as jumpers, rompers or playsuits.

Victoria's Secret model blasted for "back fat"

Filed under: Runway Trends, Style in the News




This is a model from the Cia Maritima runway show at Sao Paulo Fashion Week. Next to this nearly anorexic figure, we suppose anyone would look fat.

Because while the fashion industry claims to have realized the error of its ways -- denouncing ultra-skinny models, and learning to love the "real women" of the world -- it turns out those revelations must have been a passing fancy. Karolina Kurkova, a Victoria's Secret model, appeared in the same show, and response has been scathing -- just because of a little cellulite.

Wear a model's wings

Filed under: Runway Trends

Three of Victoria's Secret's most popular models Gisele Bundchen, Karolina Kurkova, and Adriana Lima are often photographed in wings for the lingerie catalogs and shows. Now the Victoria's Secret angels are donating three custom sets of wings to benefit Free Arts NYC. The one-of-a-kind wings were created by famous "wingman" Martin Izquierdo and will be auctioned off on eBay through December 10. Each model's wings are different: Karolina's wings are ostrich feathers, French lace and gilded netting, Adriana's are soft pink ostrich feathers, Swarovksi crystals and handmade French lace, and Gisele's are tiny peacock blue fairy wings with crystals. Each pair of wings have an opening bid of $250. Beautiful and a whole lot cheaper than the $6.5 million Fantasy Bra.

The 6.5 million dollar bra

Filed under: Holiday Style, Clothing, Swimwear and Lingerie

The Victoria's Secret tradition of creating a ridiculously expensive bra for the holidays continues!

This year, it's the Hearts on Fire Diamond Fantasy Bra, seen here modeled by Karolina Kurkova. This bra contains 2000 Hearts on Fire diamonds adding up to about 810 karats total; and is that a tiny disco ball hanging in the middle? I think it is, and I think I need one... you know, for New Year's Eve. (Technically, the creators are calling the tiny disco ball a "brooch.")

The bra will be featured in the 2006 Victoria's Secret Christmas Dreams and Fantasies catalog and will also be worn in the Victoria's Secret fashion show this year. Love it? Want it? For 6.5 million dollars it can be yours.
