Serena Williams' Swimsuit Shoot For Harper’s Bazaar


Serena Williams, back-to-back Wimbledon champion, is showing off her sporty curves in the August issue of Harper’s Bazaar, set to hit stands July 20. The fashionista is no stranger to designer labels: she rocked Burberry to celebrate her Wimbledon win and in the shoot she donned a white Eres one-piece swimsuit as well as a pale pink Fendi dress. Photographer William Klein shot the editorial while she discussed her thoughts on beauty, body image, and even reflecting on her own issues,"Since I don't look like every other girl, it takes a while to be okay with that… To be different. But different is good. I was 23 when I realized that I wasn't Venus. She's totally different. I'm super curvy. I have big boobs and this massive butt. She's tall and she's like a model and she fits everything. I was growing up, wanting to be her, wanting to look like her, and I was always fitting in her clothes, but then one day I couldn't.”We have to praise Williams for sending a healthy, positive message to aspiring fashionistas worldwide, and looks incredibly chic while doing so.

Model Larissa Riquelme to run nude despite Paraguay's loss to Spain

Though they were eliminated from the World Cup by Spain on Saturday, Paraguay may be the biggest winners of the tournament.

The South American team still has something to look forward to at home. Lingerie model Larissa Riquelme will still run through the streets of Asuncion naked.

"It will be a present to all of the players, and for all the people in Paraguay to enjoy," Riquelme said to Metro UK.

The news is a suprise to the many disappointed Paraguay fans whose hopes of seeing Riquelme show her goods were dashed by David Villa's game winning goal. She had originally planned to streak only if the team brought home the World Cup.

Why the sudden change of heart?

"They tried as hard as possible and gave it their all on the field," said the busty model.

Hot Fashion News - Eva Mendes: We can show guns but not nipples!

September 5, 2008 (Sawf News) - Eva Mendes cannot understand why the censors allow guns to be shown on TV but not nipples. "That is a little backwards to me," the star said on Ryan Seacrest's morning show on KISS FM on Thursday, September 4.

Eva Mendes, 34, explained the circumstances under which a glimpse of her 'girl' made it to Calvin Klein's 'Secret Obsession' perfume commercial, which was not aired by US networks for being too provocative.

"That was me doing what I do… that is rolling around in sheets…

"I am the face of their new perfume 'Secret Obsession' I was rolling around in bed for the commercial spot. You know…I had a little situation…one of the girls wanted to say hello without letting anybody know so she…basically I had a nipple slippage. It made the commercial because it was so natural and so beautiful and it was very quick.

"We can show guns every where but we can't show woman's nipple. That is a little backwards to me."

The creative director for the commercial, Fabien Baron, earlier expressed his frustration at the commercial's rejection saying:

"You must be kidding me. This country really needs a new president - this country is so messed up," said Baron. "It's such a joke and it's quite upsetting, frankly, how hypocritical this country has become. It's OK for children to see people killed by guns? Spreading a little love right now would be a good idea.

"She is being a little sexy, but they are not provocative," added Baron. "They are really well done. The spot is really beautiful - I really can't believe this is happening.…I don't know what else to say."

Despite being pulled off the networks, or possibly because of being pulled off the networks, the commercial has become a rage on the internet, giving Calvin Klein a lot of publicity at no cost.

Halle Berry's post-baby body looks just swell

Hollywood Fashion star Halle Berry has debuted her amazing post-baby body just six weeks after giving birth to her first child.

The actress made the most of a happy side-effect of early motherhood - a boosted bust line - in a plunging empire-line leopard print minidress at a charity gala in Los Angeles yesterday.

Hot mamma: Halle Berry showed off her post-baby body at a charity event in LA yesterday


Mother load: Halle gave birth last month

The 41-year-old has quickly regained her figure since welcoming baby Nahla Ariela on March 16, her daughter with model beau Gabriel Aubry, 32.

During her pregnancy, Berry scaled back her usually vigorous fitness regime but still kept healthy by doing yoga, swimming and light weights.

A source says she is revelling in her new role, noting: "Halle loves being a mum.

"She is so happy."

Still, the star is already planning to return to work, and has signed on to star in and produce the psychological drama Frankie and Alice.

It looks set to be another gruelling role for Halle, who won an Oscar for Monster's Ball in 2002.

The indie is about a young woman struggling with multiple personality disorder - she is torn between who she is and a racist Caucasian personality that haunts her mind.

It's a romance nobody thought would last

When raunchy pictures of them romping al fresco emerged, no-one expected their affair to last.

But as these pictures show, the romance between former Apprentice contestant Katie Hopkins and her married lover Mark Cross is still going strong.

Frolicking in the surf and kissing passionately, the pair looked the epitome of love's young dream on a break in Barbados.

Wearing a scarlet halterneck bikini models, Hopkins showed off an enviably toned figure as she and Cross, clad in Bermuda shorts, sunned themselves on the Caribbean beach.

And his special attention to her tummy could spark rumours that the mother of two is expecting another addition to her family.

Miss NYC Plus Makes New Inroads in Fashion Industry




Bringing out the beauty in women outside of the established New York fashion world is Chanel Clark's goal in establishing the Miss NYC Plus organization. "Living in New York City, when it comes to fashion, you don't see plus sizes," she said, talking about what led her to provide a showplace for them. "I felt it was overdue."

She produced the first Miss NYC Plus Pageant in March this year, offering a chance for women size 12 to 26 to gather at an event all their own. With professional consulting from wardrobe stylist Jaquette E. Jones and runway coach Robert Mallory, himself a plus-size person, those who entered the pageant learned to express themselves in the way they dress and move.

Talking about the response to the pageant, Clark said, "It was surreal, overwhelming. I never expected such a response! We filled every seat and people were even standing up. It was phenomenal."

As awareness spreads about the unhealthy effect the super-thin runway models have on young girls, it is not just the plus-sized ladies who are responding enthusiastically to her project. "People from in and outside of the plus community have been pulling for us," Clark remarked. "It's inspiring me to do more in New York City for plus models on the catwalk."
