Can you believe Elle Macpherson turns 49 yesterday? After debuting on the scene in a flurry of iconic Sports Illustrated swimsuit spreads and covers in the 1980s, the Australian supermodel hasn't slowed down since. And if there's one thing her gorgeous magazine editorials always deliver, it's a fashionable look at her enviable figure and beach-babe hair and beauty. That's why we couldn't think of a better way to celebrate her milestone birthday than with a serious roundup of her sexiest editorials to date. Click on to see why she's more than earned her nickname, "The Body" - and deserves the title "the face", too! Happy birthday, Elle!

11 Elie Saab Spring Couture Gowns We Hope to See on the Red Carpet

Marisa Tom — Thu, 24 Jan 2013 11:05:36 EST

It's rare to come across a red carpet these days that doesn't play host to (at least) one stunning Elie Saab gown. The Lebanese designer has, in effect, become a go-to source for glamorous premiere dresses and awards-show fare, and we have a hunch it has everything to do with his penchant for dense embroidery, princess gown silhouettes, and decadent embellishing. Saab's Couture Spring '13 collection debuted in Paris today, and with it came 48 ethereal confections practically begging to be worn to some fancy gala. We can easily imagine Keira Knightley slipping into one of the icy blue crystalline-embroidered tulle gowns, or perhaps Gwyneth Paltrow taking on one of the caped white column gowns as a redux of her standout Tom Ford look from last year's Oscars. We also spotted a printed sheath in a '50s-inspired shape that has Kerry Washington written all over it. Luckily, we're smack dab in the middle of awards season - and with the SAG Awards this Monday - we're hoping to see any one of these 11 gowns sooner rather than later. Click on for our Elie Saab Couture picks, and see who we'd like to see wearing them on a red carpet near you.

The Inimitable Kate Moss: See 150 of Her Most Stunning Editorials!

Brittney Stephens — Sun, 20 Jan 2013 15:00:00 EST

Can you believe Kate Moss turned 39 during the week? It seems like just yesterday she was a fresh-faced teen model, posing for Calvin Klein ads and dating Johnny Depp. Through setbacks, scandals, and stirring up global controversies, Kate's career has managed to endure - she has starred in campaigns for Rimmel London, David Yurman, Stella McCartney, and Dior, to mention a few, and has even designed collections for Topshop and Longchamp. In 2011, Kate returned to the runway for Louis Vuitton, cigarette in hand - silencing even her harshest critics and reminding us all why we love her so much - then showed her softer side during her English countryside wedding to The Kills' frontman Jamie Hince.

With the release of her coffee table tome, Kate: The Kate Moss Book in 2012, it became even more apparent how staggering Kate's career is, spanning over 25 years. No matter what she's gone through, Kate remains a fashion industry fixture and continues to inspire us with her gorgeous spreads and covetable street-style looks. We're wishing Kate a happy 39th birthday by taking a look back at some of her many amazing fashion editorials - click through to see them all now.

Aussie Model Julia Nobis Is the Star of Saint Laurent's New campaign

Genevieve Rota — Sun, 23 Dec 2012 14:48:08 EST

It's been well over a year since we told you Julia Nobis was one to glue your eyes to, and now it looks like she's going above and beyond our expectations. In these stunning shots released just a couple of days ago, Julia shows off Saint Laurent's (formerly Yves Saint Laurent) Spring '13 collection to perfection. With a hint of the wild, wild west to it, the collection is chic and quite streamlined, featuring everything from skinny-pant suits and wide-brim hats to flouncy white shirts and a sequin jacket that might be the best thing we've ever seen. Bringing her carefree Aussie attitude to the campaign, we can see why Saint Laurent's creative director Hedi Slimane has fallen in love with the Sydney stunner.

Pregnant Marisa Miller stripped down recently for a very special photo shoot. The former Victoria's Secret Angel embraced her growing curves and showed off her baby bump for Allure. In June, Marisa revealed she was expecting her first child with husband Griffin Guess, and since then she's been tweeting pregnancy updates. She spoke with the magazine about the changes her body's been going through over the past few months including her change in fitness routine, dealing with stretch marks, and the decision to pose nude. Here's more from Marisa's chat with Allure:

Marisa on weight gain: "I had never even owned a scale before, but gaining weight is part of charting your progress. Yes, I was seeing numbers I'd never seen before, but I let go of that because I had a new goal and focus. It's an adjustment, but it helps having a lot of positive support."
Marisa on posing nude while pregnant: "I always felt, even before I got pregnant, that it's better to accentuate your curves. A lot of women try to tuck their butt in or kind of slouch because they're trying to hide. Obviously, you can't suck it in, but it's important to really show off the belly. For some reason, for me, from the side, it looks the biggest, so that's what I tried to do."
Marisa on stretch marks: "I'd been on Molly Sims's blog a lot - she was in her third trimester when I had just gotten pregnant-and she posted this recipe: shea butter, cocoa butter, coconut oil, and Vitamin E. I made it myself, boiling the ingredients, and I poured it into mason jars. I've loved the community of women who share their tips."

Kate and Naomi, bare and Beautiful for Interview Russia

Genevieve Rota — Thu, 29 Nov 2012 10:02:47 EST

Nothing, we say nothing, gets us feeling all nostalgic quite like seeing some of our favourite supers together. So you can imagine our reaction when we saw the latest issue of Interview Russia. Featuring Kate Moss and Naomi Campbell together and seemingly naked in all but one or two shots, the London ladies' latest venture is a lesson to all their protégés in how to do modelling right. We can't get enough of the doe-eyes, the thick lashes, the beautiful skin, the perfect poses, the fact that two of our all-time favourites are in one editorial. . . The list goes on. We know they're friends IRL, but we just adore seeing them do what they do best together. Click through to see the (sometimes NSFW!) pictures.

Versace Spring 2013

Chi Diem Chau — Sat, 22 Sep 2012 12:30:50 EST

Donatella Versace is known for her sexy, body-con style, and her Spring '13 showing was just that, but perhaps with a more subtle touch than what we're used to seeing from the designer. The show opened with easy lace-appliqued mini-dresses paired with low-slung studded belts. The same technique was seen on a range of crop tops and hot shorts worn with sleek blazers and leather jackets. The most wearable, everyday pieces came from an assortment of skinny striped, dip-dyed, and lace-adorned pants paired with billowy crushed silk tops, emoting a decidedly '70s bohemian vibe. Catering to the red carpet, a brigade of colour - orange, teal, pink - entered the runway, highlighting seductive high-slit gowns (Jennifer Lopez, anyone?) and short embellished mini-dresses made for leg-baring starlets like Lea Michele and Selena Gomez.

Trends: '70s, billowy sleeves, leather, lace.
Colors: Black gold, orange, teal, blue, pink.
Key Piece: We loved the lace-embellished pants.
Accessories: Sandal boots, strappy metallic sandals, statement sunglasses, studded belts, exotic crossbody bags, leather clutches.
Who Should Wear It: We can picture the sexy high-slit gowns on red-carpet stunners like Jennifer Lopez and Lea Michele, along with front-row attendees Milla Jovovich and Jessica Stam.

Celine Dion Poses Topless and Talks Being an "Open Book"

Lindsay Miller — Sun, 26 Aug 2012 12:29:58 EST

Celine Dion struck a series of seductive poses for photographer Sebastian Faena in the new issue of V Magazine, which has Nicole Kidman baring her bottom on the cover. She let members of the publication's staff inside her Florida home for the interview and shoot, and channelled her inner Playboy bunny in the 1960s-inspired spread, which was styled by Carlyne Cerf de Dudzeele. Celine, whose Vegas show has been running for just over a year, spoke about motherhood, the media, and her fears about fame in the accompanying interview. She also suggested that her free-spirited approach to the session mirrors her philosophy on life. Here are some highlights:

On being transparent about her personal life: "For me to tell someone that my husband had cancer, that we were struggling to have kids, or whatever we've gone through, talking about my life lets people know the real me . . . I've been an open book all my life, and I think that's why people like me. I've been criticised for it, but I'm not forcing myself to be the person that you see."
On how motherhood changed her: "I thought I had a life before, but until I was a mum, I had no idea. Why would I want a hit? Why would I want to win awards? There is nothing I can hope and wish for my career: I can just hope to be blessed as a mother for the rest of my life the way I am now."
On being impacted by Whitney Houston's death: "I have always been scared of the industry. Why? Because I think it's a place where anything is possible. It's a 'Yes' place, especially if you have success. And then you think that you have family and friends, true friends. But sometimes the love of family isn't strong enough to overcome. I was just in shock when Whitney's life had been taken because of drugs. It's a big loss for all of us."

Miranda Kerr Bares Nearly All in Harper's Bazaar

Allie Merriam — Fri, 10 Aug 2012 07:38:12 EST

Miranda Kerr bared nearly all in the September edition of US Harper's Bazaar, which features Gwen Stefani on the cover. Miranda posed for the magazine wearing just her birthday suit and a pair of over-the-knee boots. We don't see much of Miranda's style in the issue, but she spoke with Harper's about her sartorial favorites. Miranda, who just wrapped up an Australian holiday with her husband, Orlando Bloom, and son Flynn Bloom, also opened up about diet, moderating her taste for adventure as a mum, and the secret to staying balanced. Here are highlights from Miranda in Harper's Bazaar:

On her style icons: "I have always admired Audrey Hepburn's style and my nan has always been a style icon for me. Growing up I would play in her wardrobe and was very influenced by her. She taught me that you don't need to have a lot of money to have style. It's the way you put things together and how you carry yourself."
On her diet philosophy: "I live by the philosophy that beauty starts from within and I make a conscious effort to fill my body with nutrients through the food I eat. Becoming a mother has made me even more aware and more passionate about nutrition and wellness. So much so that I am now a certified health coach practitioner. I love when we are all together as a family and I can cook really healthy, delicious meals for them. Most of my childhood was spent outdoors climbing trees, swimming in the river, riding dirt bikes and horses and I would like Flynn to experience all of those things."
On her taste for adventure: "I definitely still love motorbikes; however, since having Flynn I haven't been riding these days. A lot of my adventures come from chasing Flynn around and watching him grow."
On staying balanced: "I believe in having a vision for the future but living each day at a time. Time seems to slow down for me when I focus on staying in the moment and that helps me maintain a sense of balance. When I'm with Flynn my phone is switched off and I stay away from my laptop. It means the time I do spend with him is quality time. Life seems to be busy for most people and if you know you are doing the best you can then there really is nothing more you can do than that."
