Ad Madness: Beyoncé’s Debut For H&M Is Finally Here!

Posted on by

It seems like 2013 is Beyoncé‘s year, & when rumors began to circulate that the multi-talented Texas-native was going to be the new face of H&M, fashion bloggers everywhere were gasping in anticipation. Now, the moment has finally arrived when we can see the almighty & fearless Beyoncé fronting the Swedish company.

Take a look at the sultry image, featuring a sleek neutral button-down blouse, printed short shorts, stacks of bangles, hoop earrings, peep toe sandals, & a tropical flower hair accessory. This is the first time we’ve seen Jay-Z’s wife wearing lower-end duds & we like it! Not to say that Lana Del Rey’s previous fall campaign & music video for “Blue Velvet” weren’t fantastic, but when it comes to summer style, Beyoncé is a pretty good model for the upcoming season!

Kate Moss for Stuart Weitzman

Kate Moss is still one of the busiest & most in-demand supermodels & she’s clearly never looked better. The face of fashion is now also the face of Stuart Weitzman. Of course the sleek shoe designs speak for themselves, including the above Naughty pump ($335.00) in silver specchio, which Kate dons in a new video shot by the one & only Mario Testino. The futuristic classic pumps are chic & the patent leather exterior can dress up mod sheath dresses, add some flair to skinny jeans, & make a basic LBD more contemporary. Watch the video below for 25 seconds of shoe love.

It’s no surprise that Oscar-winning actress Kate Winslet has a cosmetics deal. The timeless beauty really knows how to pose in front of the cameras & I love how she’s always standing up for her shape. However, the spokesmodel for Lancôme has returned as the face of the brand, promoting their newest anti-wrinkle cream, Renergie Lift Multi-Action Reviva Concentrate, which sells for $120.00, which is pretty pricey, but perhaps there’s something to it!

Kate Winslet for Lancôme

The cream hits stores in April & while some of us still under 30 might not have to think about wrinkles, it’s always impressive to see how strong & inspiring women like Kate are celebrating their beauty. The actress recently told In Style, “A good eye cream is really important when you’re traveling, busy, &stress.” She adds, “That’s when the dark, puffy circles can get you!”

Ad Madness: Jennifer Lawrence’s Debut Ads For Dior’s Miss Dior!

Jennifer Lawrence for Dior's Miss Dior

Jennifer Lawrence might just be the most buzzed about celebrity this weekend, especially since the Oscars are tomorrow & she’s up for her second nomination as Best Actress (this time for Silver Linings Playbook). The undeniably charming & gorgeous starlet has been spotted all over the red carpet in designs by Dior, but now we can finally start talking about her long-awaited debut as the face of Miss Dior.

These recently released ads show the sometimes brunette actress clutching an assortment of quilted handbags, donning decadent jewels, & even gazing longingly behind a netted veil, all styled by Olivier Rizzo with looks from Raf Simons‘ Spring 2013 Ready-To-Wear Collection. There’s no doubt that the Willy Vanderperre-shot ads are elegant & chic, but I’d love to see the fun & youthful side of Lawrence’s personality shine through more in future ads. Perhaps something beachy & flirty for the summer? Who knows?

The celebrity ad campaigns continue on with Oscar-winning actress Natalie Portman who returns to Dior for their newest Diorshow Iconic Overcurl Mascara ($29.00), which is available @Sephora. Not only does Natalie look absolutely stunning, but I’m nearly convinced that I should drop my Maybelline mascara for this new Dior product which contains formula-strengthening ingredients like plant nectar and abyssinv oil.

Take a look at the short video clip below which reveals a behind-the-scenes look at the ad’s photo shoot. You can see the ad currently running in March issues of the best fashion & beauty magazines.

Beyonce for Pulse NYC

Beyoncé is at it again! Not only is she this weekend’s Super Bowl halftime act & hitting the small screen for an upcoming documentary on HBO, but she’s recently shot an ad for her latest fragrance, Pulse NYC, inspired by her new hometown with a Gotham City-inspired bottle. The multi-talented singer has focused this scent on a woman who is “impossible to ignore, exuding sensuality & strength.” ELLE‘s Joe Zee styled the shoot, sharing metallic wardrobe pieces that resembling the mirrored buildings of the New York City.

Kate Hudson for Almay

Kate Hudson is one busy lady! Not only is she returning as the face of Ann Taylor, working on her debut capsule collection for the store, & has recently appeared as a recurring character on Glee, but she’s also continuing her role as spokesmodel for cosmetics giant, Almay. Courtesy of InStyle, I was able to find behind-the-scenes images of Kate in action, showing off her beautiful features with Almay’s Intense i-Color Shimmer Eyeshadow ($6.00) in Bold Nudes, which is available @Ulta. This color trio is also available in blue, hazel, & green shades to match with your eye color.

Ad Madness: Amber Heard’s Latest Guess Campaign Shoot!

Posted on by

Amber Heard has been making headlines, especially after her role in last year’s The Rum Diary, opposite Johnny Depp, who is said to be Amber’s beau.  The actress, whose credits include Zombieland & Pineapple Express, is returning as a model for Guess, for their latest fragrance ads for Guess Girl.  In a recent article on FashionEtc, the scent is described as “With top notes of raspberry nectar, melon and bergamot mist, and a  drydown of Australian sandalwood and Madagascar vanilla, the fruity floral scent is a distinct departure from the brand’s most recent perfume, Seductive, aimed toward women in their later 20’s.“

Clad in a pink sequin mini under a Marilyn Monroe-inspired button down shirt that’s tied at the waist, the ad seems to focus on the voluptuous beauties of Old Hollywood & Amber is a perfect match, looking to be the next Sharon Stone with every red carpet appearance. Guess Girl won’t be available as a stocking stuffer since it will make its debut in February, but you can count on the three sizes to be budget-friendly, going for 1 oz. for $40, 1.7 oz. for $52, & 3.4 oz. for $62, as well as a 6.7-oz. body cream for $28 at Guess.com.
