Victoria Beckham on the August 2015 cover of Vogue Australia
About a decade ago, Posh Spice was the embodiment of everything wrong about being always in fashion. We can all pretty say that in the years leading up to her Spice Girls days and as the ultimate queen of WAGS, she made fashion too dangerous, that even Hermes “Birkin” bag had become less desirable as a result of being de rigueur among WAGs in Baden-Baden. Take note, Kim Kardashian!
Victoria Beckham reinvented herself. Now, all she has to do is to kiss those bad fashion choices goodbye!
The fashion designer appears on the cover of Vogue Australia’s August issue. Looking regally chic, she was photographed by Patrick Demarchelier wearing a black-and-white print Louis Vuitton dress from the label’s Fall 2015 ready-to-wear collection. With her hair in a messy style, and a fresh-faced makeup look, Victoria keeps her beauty look minimal. In her interview, she tells the magazine about her business, family and more.
The latest issue of Vogue Australia will be on newsstands next Monday.
Say hello to Caitlyn Jenner! The transgender Olympic champion, formerly known as Bruce Jenner (stepfather to Kim Kardashian) , reveals her true self in a photo shoot by Annie Leibovitz and an interview with Pulitzer prize-winning author Buzz Bissinger for July 2015 cover of Vanity Fair. Head to Vanity Fair for the complete story.
Jennifer Lawrence stars for Dior Addict beauty campaign
Jennifer Lawrence is making Hollywood’s big bosses sick after she successfully negotiated a $20 million salary per film (first for her upcoming movie with Chris Pratt, Passengers), joining an exclusive club of super A-list actors and actresses who commanded a salary upward of $15-$25 million. Thanks to leaked emails from Sony, and partly because Charlize Theron (Lawrence and Theron are both Dior ambassadors) engineered a $10m rise to put her on par with co-star Chris Hemsworth for the Snow White prequel.
Lawrence star will shine even more brighter. The ‘Hunger Games’ star gets her closeup as she was named the new face of Dior Addict makeup line, extending her contract for another 3 years and a reported $15 million salary for the French luxury brand.
Dior announced on Tuesday that in addition to appearing in campaigns for the French house ready to wear line, Be Dior and Miss Dior handbags, Lawrence will also front the Dior Addict makeup line. As part of her new contract, she will appear in print ads and television commercials.
And talking about Rihanna’s majestic Guo Pei gown at this year’s Met Gala, those internet trolls who made thousands of memes on the superstar’s dress will soon die in their Casual Corner outfit!
Vogue give credit whom credit is due. Sorry, Kim Kardashain, thanking Vogue on your Instagram for landing the best-dressed doesn’t count.
Rihanna owned the night and landed Vogue’s special edition Met Gala issue in that stunning yellow-brocade cape gown!
Game of Thrones fans rejoice! Khaleesi is fashion queen reinvented.
Emilia Clarke is looking red hot in Alexander McQueen on the cover of Harper Bazaar’s June/July 2015 issue. The British actress was photographed by Norman Jean Roy, channeling a fierce energy reminiscence of her famed character Daenerys Targaryen in HBO’s hit show, Game of Thrones.
She talks about the fanfare surrounding the epic rise of Game of Thronesand recalls an incident with Channing Tatum being one of the millions of adoring fans. She shares, “I was at a Golden Globes after party and Channing f***ing Tatum came up to me, and his stunning missus, Jenna Dewan. And they said, ‘We call each other “moon of my life” and “my sun and stars”’ and all that. And I was like, ‘I cannot contain this. Please, can we all have something sexual together? You’re both beautiful, even just a hug.”
the June/July 2015 issue will be available on newsstands May 26.
It takes a lot of guts, talent and a charming personality to be “America’s Sweetheart”. And Sandra Bullock is the sum of all things beautiful, having anointed by People Magazine as the most beautiful woman in the world for 2015.
The Oscar-winning actress (and the highest paid actress in Hollywood…and the world!) has joined the ranks of many actresses who claimed the title including last year’s cover girl and Oscar winner, Lupita Nyong’o, and Gwyneth Paltrow in 2013.
Bullock, at 50 years old, is the oldest to be named on the list and proves that age is nothing but a number. She was photographed on the cover by Cliff Watts and dismiss the whole process of being named the most beautiful as “ridiculous” and that true beauty is unassuming.
“Real beauty is quiet. Especially in this town, it’s just so hard not to say, ‘Oh, I need to look like that,’ “ she told People. “No, be a good person; be a good mom; do a good job with the lunch; let someone cut in front of you who looks like they’re in a bigger hurry. The people I find most beautiful are the ones who aren’t trying.”
Celebrities and one-third of the fashion world will clamp their claws on next month’s Costume Institute Gala (Met Ball). (more stories on the 2015 Met Ball, later) and it is such a relief knowing that Anna Wintour bailed out of any Kardashian/Jenner clans on her magazine.
For the meantime, i present to you the cream of the crop of the fashion bible’s covers for May 2015.

Truly, chic hits the fan and it’s even more chicer than you actually thought!
Carine Roitfeld, the former French Vogue editor (and for years the arch-nemesis of that OTHER Vogue editor), the official god of the elegantly déshabillé, and style muse to Tom Ford (and every chic designer you know!), has been announced as the new collaborator of Japanese high street fashion, Uniqlo.

Together with Uniqlo’s design director Naoki Takizawa, Roitfeld will create 40 pieces ranging from outerwear to undergarments. The design will be available online and at all Uniqlo stores worlwide, this October 2015.
The Japanese retailer has been in great form with its past collaborations with designers such as Helmut Lang and Jil Sander which were proven a fashion hits, amidst an intense competition with H&M and Target.
When asked about the partnership, Roitfeld says : “I feel joy at creating new mode expressions. I am constantly asking myself what these are, and creating new clothing within the UNIQLO LifeWear concept is a great challenge. I started from the idea of clothes that I would want to wear myself, and developed this into clothes that anyone would want to wear, a woman’s ideal of clothes that make her feel transformed when she wears them”.

Ms. Roitfeld, 60, is currently the global fashion director at Harper’s Bazaar International and editor of her own magazine, named after herself (CR Fashion Book).
Also this autumn, Uniqlo is collaborating with Christophe Lemaire, the former Hermes creative director, on a menswear and womenswear capsule collection.
Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Lawrence, Jennifer Lawrence…
Imagine Kim Kardashian and Jennifer Lawrence butt-naked, (with the former showing off her vagina for the world to see) shamelessly trying to “break the internet”, while the latter just wanted the world to know that being naked does not invalidate her privacy (shame to you HACKERS!!). She happens to be the most-searched woman on the planet, the coolest Oscar-winner (like Meryl Streep in her 20’s), and she nonchalantly does nude with a little dignity! Oh, Jennifer Lawrence!
The photo of the naked actress with a boa constrictor was shot last July, appears on Vanity Fair’s Hollywood issue photographed by Patrick Demarchelier, an homage to the 1981 Richard Avedon Vogue portrait of Nastassja Kinski.
“Jennifer has the perfect combination of strength, sexuality, and humor, and, above all, tomboy to pull this off,” says V.F. fashion and style director Jessica Diehl, who styled the shoot. And, we all swooned!
For more with #JenniferLawrence and Hollywood’s biggest stars, the issue is out now!

Sienna Miller is the former it-girl everyone loved to hate. She is the arch-nemesis of Kate Moss when it comes to setting new trends, and one of the world’s most copied style icons.
The British actress graces the January 2015 issue of American Vogue- she talks about the joys of motherhood, her strings of high-profile movies, how she found Instagram “addictive” and why she will never be on Twitter.
The fashion superstar adores being a mother to two-year-old Marlowe – her daughter with partner Tom Sturridge – and says she realised what was missing from her life when the little girl was born.
Sienna said: “I was overwhelmed by how normal it felt. It was like, ‘There you are — that’s what I have been missing.’ Like we’re both in on something only we know. An amazing sense of being complicit with a little being.”
Sienna Miller has been in a relationship with Tom, 29, for three years and the 32-year-old beauty loves the fact there is no “drama” in their lives.
She told Vogue: “Tom is a grounded, intelligent, kind, and intact person. That’s amazing to be around. That’s the father of my child. There’s no drama.”
On her short-lived affair with Instagram and why she won’t sign-up for Twitter: “It was the most addictive thing,” she says of Instagram. “Every morning I’d wake up and there would be a thousand more followers or whatever and there would be these amazing greetings like ‘Welcome! We love you!’ ” She laughs nervously. “I’d be inflated by this nonexistent, intangible love. I was like, ‘I need to get off this.’ But it only lasted for five days.
“Tweeting. I find it weird, that word. It just sounds babyish. There’s something so ridiculous.” she tells Vogue.
The actress appears on Bennett Miller’s wrestling drama Foxcatcher, in which she has a supporting role. American Sniper, a gripping real-life story of the late decorated U.S. Navy SEAL Chris Kyle, starring Bradley Cooper as Kyle and directed by the flinty American icon Clint Eastwood. Unfinished Business, a comedy with Vince Vaughn, and the Boston-mobster sagaBlack Mass, with Miller the moll to Johnny Depp’s Whitey Bulger. Mississippi Grind, with indie auteurs Anna Boden and Ryan Fleck, and High-Rise, a J. G. Ballard drama with Jeremy Irons. Miller is also signed on for the upcoming Amazon mystery The Lost City of Z, with Benedict Cumberbatch and Robert Pattinson, and Live by Night, Ben Affleck’s much-anticipated follow-up to his Oscar-winning Argo. -Vogue
