Vogue UK May 2011: three covers

A trio of gorgeous, ethereal covers from UK Vogue this month.

Only one question: are we doing 'Catherine' Middleton? I know Prince William referred to her in this way this week, but really...? No more 'Kate'? Will it stick with a critical public?

L’Oréal Paris Baroque Glamour Collection - for 2011 L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival

To help celebrate the 2011 L’Oréal Melbourne Fashion Festival - kicking off today, Monday 14 March, until Sunday 20 March - L’Oréal Paris has introduced the Baroque Glamour Collection, this season’s sophisticated colour story created by L’Oréal Paris and LMFF Make-up Director, Rae Morris.

Inspired by the glamorous beauty looks of the 1940s and 1950s, the Baroque Glamour Collection brings retro glamour back into the spotlight - oh, how I love this look, especially as it is modelled here by the delectable Laetitia Casta.

With the 1940s and 50s staging a comeback, it's super-easy to re-create the timeless, classic looks of this era with this L'Oreal collection. The keys are flawless skin, elegant-looking eyes, and striking red lips - the makeup elements seen in silver-screen starlets from decades ago, oozing supreme style and sophistication.

“This look is all about the ultimate woman and celebrates femininity within all its different layers and forms. Make-up trends come and go but these are desirable, polished beauty looks that are always in fashion,” says makeup director, Rae Morris.

The Baroque Glamour Collection includes a selection of new L’Oréal Paris products: for the flawless base try new Infallible Brush Foundation which combines a foundation brush and natural-finish, long-wear formula in one handy product. A combination of new Infallible Eyeshadow and Million Lashes Mascara will create smouldering, statement eyes that captivate and, for a pin-up pout, sample shades from the Colour Riche Intense range to make an impact with some traffic-stopping colour.

Possibly my fave part is the retro hair style - set with long-standing haircare staple, Elnett Satin hairspray.

The Baroque Glamour Collection is in-store now, only from Priceline and Myer stores nationally.

For stockists, call: 1300 659 259.

Lara Bingle for Oyster magazine. Perfection

The human headline that is Lara Bingle shows us how she does what she does best - model... and how.

This dual shoot is from Oyster magazine - now sold out - with the uber talented Georges Antoni and Stephen Ward behind the lenses.

I am nuts about this shoot... it is divine in every way. And Lara... your best ever shoot.

Here Gisele stars as the March 2011 covergirl for Vogue Turkey (and their first year anniversary issue). Photographed by Mert & Marcus, Gisele is in labels including Alexander McQueen, Yves Saint Laurent and Gucci.

Irina Shayk - Sports Illustrated Swimsuit Issue, 2011

I was wondering why I had a huge increase in traffic on this blog post on Irina Shayk:

http://josiesjuice.blogspot.com/2010/11/irina-shayk-gq-magazine-spain-december.html

And this just-released cover is why...

Russian-born Irina scored the coveted Sports Illustrated 'Swimsuit Issue' cover for 2011.

She found out about the hotly contested spot at a taping of David Letterman's show, where a giant billboard was unveiled to reveal this very hot pic (so hot in fact, that Entertainment Tonight's coverage of the announcement featured blurred-out boobs). Seriously? So prudish.

Shayk is also the girlfriend of soccer superstar Cristiano Ronaldo, so she has been enjoying loads of, well, exposure of late.

"I think that now my life is going to change," she told ET, after the magazine cover unveiling.

You think?

That is all.

Irina Shayk: Tatler magazine Russia, February 2011

Stunning Russian model-of-the-moment (and girlfriend to Real Madrid's Cristiano Ronaldo) Irina Shayk is covergirl for the February 2011 issue of Russian Tatler.

Now... that's the right way to wear a trench - and accessorise with a kitten.

As for Irina’s boyfriend Ronaldo, he was quoted on how he was adjusting to fatherhood.

“Of course I change the nappies. It’s not the thing I like best in the world, but I do it.”

Wonder if Irina helps...?

Camilla Belle: Jezebel Magazine, February 2011

Whoever styled - and groomed - this stunner needs a raise.

I have always admired Camilla Belle's style, but something about her never quite hit the mark with me. That's the thing with style/girl crushes - there needs to be total appeal.

This shoot does it, in spades.

Beautifully styled, Camilla looks ... beyond.

The hair, the make-up, those dresses... perfection.
