David and Victoria Beckham's Steamy Emporio Armani Underwear Campaign

Filed under: Style in the News

We've seen that rope before!

Just when we thought David Beckham's Emporio Armani underwear campaign couldn't get any hotter, Victoria teams up with her soccer star hubby for a steamy ménage à deux shoot.

Shot by Mert Alas and Marcus Piggot, the new Emporio Armani Underwear Fall/Winter 2009 images features the husband and wife team posing together.

David sports slicked back hair and briefs, while Victoria wears a simple black bra and panty set with her locks twisted into an Asian-inspired topknot.

While Victoria and David both look great in their individual ads, we think casting the parents of three (sons Brooklyn, Romeo and Cruz) together makes for a sexy depiction of marital bliss.

What do you think? Does the couple together make for a hotter campaign or are Posh and David better off alone?

Victoria Beckham - To Blame for Nipple and Tuck Surge?

Filed under: Style in the News

Did Victoria Beckham know that stepping out with very perky (and very visible) nipples would spark a plastic surgery frenzy?

It's not entirely her doing, but Daily Mail reports that London's Harley Medical Group found, over the past year, nipple surgeries rose 30 percent. That's some serious growth!

Prosthetic nipple sales (like those worn by Samantha in "Sex in the City") have seen an increase as well.

Harley Medical Group's Dr. Riccardo Frati thinks that celebrities are the reason women are so much more interested in the appearance of their nipples as of late.

David Beckham's New Emporio Armani Underwear Campaign

Filed under: Style in the News

Beckham mania! The new Emporio Armani Underwear campaign. Photos courtesy of Armani

Selfridge's Oxford Street in London was a madhouse today when David Beckham made an in-store appearance to celebrate the launch of his Emporio Armani Underwear Fall/Winter 2009/2010 campaign.

Dressed in a chic navy Armani suit, Beckham signed autographs and held a special meet and greet with 300 lucky fans. Outside, thousands mobbed to get a glimpse of the stylish (and super hot) soccer star, in spite of the tube (subway) strike.

As for the campaign, there was a gigantic blowup of the new shot, similar to wife Victoria's campaign unveiling at Macy's Herald Square in NYC on May 6.

The look is a bit neo-Tarzan. Beckham is captured bare-chested with tattoos prominently displayed, while entwined in a a hefty, sailor-worthy rope. Oh, and of course, he's wearing snug Emporio Armani briefs. We got distracted. Can you blame us?

Hermes to Breed Own Crocodiles

Filed under: Style in the News

Pricey purse! $129,000 Birkin bag from Hermes. Photo: AFP/Getty Images

An Hermes Birkin bag can cost you a pretty penny, but throw in exotic skins and you're talking college tuition.

To meet the demand for croc bags, 3,000 a year (Victoria Beckham alone?), instead of dealing with fickle suppliers, Hermes has made a bold business move: The company is going to breed its own crocodiles!

At the Reuters Global Luxury Summit in Paris, Hermes Joint Chief Executive Officer Patrick Thomas announced plans for an crocodile farm in Australia.

Breeding the toothy reptiles, though, is not exactly the safest or most glamorous Hermes position. The animals have to be housed individually so they don't bite each other (or the handler). Talk about fierce fashion!

Victoria Beckhams Birkin Bags

    Victoria Beckham shops with her son and, of course, a gorgeous blue Birkin, large enough to hold plenty of toys and snacks. Hey, if she's going to drop that kind of cash on a handbag, it should at least be useful, right?

Victoria is trailed by several assistants who carry her luggage, block photographers, and escort her through security. Ever wonder what Mrs. Beckham carries in that expensive luggage of hers? Now we know: More expensive handbags.

Victoria Beckham - Birkin Bag Lady

Filed under: Handbags

Victoria Beckham doesn't exactly shy away from excess. The former Spice Girl didn't earn the nickname "Posh" for nothing! It took serious dedication to shopping for couture clothes, shoes and, most importantly, bags. Hermès Birkin bags, to be exact.

The Big Money reports that Posh owns around 100 of the exclusive and pricey purses, a collection worth possibly $2 million. Bag prices range from approximately $6,000 to over $100,000, depending on the materials used. Exotic animal skins, like saltwater crocodile, up the price significantly, as do embellishments on the hardware (a crocodile Birkin with roughly 10 carats of diamonds sold at auction for $120,000).

Okay, even if there wasn't a two-year waiting list to get a Birkin, most of us can't afford the price tag. And it's not like the value goes down over time (it's called an investment piece for a reason, people). However, we can dream, and we can gawk. And so can you -- check out the gallery of Posh and her many, many Birkins above!

Posh, your shoes are missing something!

Filed under: Accessories, Style in the News, Clothing, Shoes, Celebrities with Style, Celebrity Fashion Mistakes


Personally, if I spent four grand on a pair of shoes and, upon receiving them, they were missing a part, I'd be ticked. But that's just practical, boring me. Victoria Beckham, however, actually did this on purpose -- pictured here are the $3600 Antonio Berardi heel-less shoes that now call her overcrowded (and terrifying) closet home.

I mean, isn't this dangerous? The girl is seriously top-heavy to begin with (not even counting her boobs -- her head is like a lollipop!), so who's brilliant idea was it to put her in shoes that don't allow her to put weight on her heels?

Supposedly, the look is meant to be "dainty," like you're constantly walking on your toes. Well, yeah -- that's because you are! Unfortch, Posh doesn't seem to be the only one reeled in by this bad idea. Uma Thurman and Gwyneth Paltrow are also guilty.



Oh, and just in case you're thinking, "They're not that bad -- at least it's something new," I have something to share -- it's not even a new idea! Heel-less shoes have been around for a while, and multiple designers have given the look a shot. There's probably a reason you didn't know that though ... nobody actually wears them. And that's the way it should stay.

The rest of the shoe is cute, though -- she could always glue a pretzel stick (that of course she won't eat) to the back of the shoe if she decides that heel-less heels aren't the way to go, after all.

How to work a cape like Posh, not Superman (or Brooke Shields)

Filed under: Clothing, Celebrities with Style

Every year, as spring approaches, my eyes start wandering toward the less bulky items in my closet. I'm tired of my sweaters, done with scarves, and so over jackets. Fortunately, I live in Florida, so there are plenty of days where I can wear a kicky dress and cardi and be plenty warm. But what about those of you living in colder climates? What can be done?

Never fear, Posh is here! In a cape!

As Mrs. Beckham shows us (and as Brooke Shields and Lucy Liu fail to show us), a cape can be a fabulously chic way to ward off the winter chill when you just can't bare to wear your winter coat for another day. However, it can also backfire horribly. Here's how you can pull off Posh's look and keep your cape from becoming fashion kryptonite:
