Latest- This new French L’Oréal ad is like celebrity spokesmodel whack-a-mole. We spy Beyoncé, Patrick Dempsey, Jessica Alba, Freida Pinto, Claudia Schiffer, Rachel Weisz, and Jane Fonda… It’s funny to watch them all say, “Parce que vous le valez bien.” [YouTube]
- Victoria Beckham has never made the cover of American Vogue. But boy do they love her over at British Vogue, where she has the February cover! She tells the ladymag: “The other morning I looked across at David just after he’d woken up and thought you look really crap. THANK GOD, because this is a man who always looked so perfect.” Here we were thinking morning conversations chez Beckham were more along the lines of “No, you’re prettier.” [Vogue UK]

- Sarah Burton, on succeeding her former boss and mentor, Lee Alexander McQueen: “I thought: how would I ever begin to begin? Lee‘s mind was so different to anyone else’s. I knew there was no way I could pretend to be him; but I had to ask myself, what did Lee work for? For all this just to close down?” And: “People ask: what’s Sarah about? But I’ve worked here for so long, there’s been a big part of me in those collections all along the way. I’m not going to wipe the slate clean. That would be wiping me away. There will always be those McQueen elements, but at the same time, you can never stay still and you have to stay true to yourself. That’s what Lee drummed in to me: you have to be able to stand behind your work.” [Vogue UK]

Even better was when she pointed to a botched sample bag and smiled for the camera, uttering through clenched teeth: ‘See these little dots? They make me want to punch someone.'” [Teen Vogue]
