Courtesy David Yurman Hot on the heels of the Met Ball , Gisele Bündchen trades Givenchy couture for a beach-chic look in the David Yurman fall 2012 campaign. Famed photographer Peter Lindbergh shot the black-and-white ad images on location in Malibu.
Courtesy Interview Magazine When asked if she’s into fashion, Helena Bonham Carter simply replies, “All I’m into is dressing up .” That could be an understatement; the actress often wears polarizing ensembles — and is quite aware of the negative attention such outfits attract. Speaking to Daniel Radcliffe in the latest issue of Interview , the Dark Shadows star says clothing often changes how she feels. “I think I transform into somebody else,” she explains, “and then you see the photo and go, ‘That’s so not what I meant …’ It’s the disappointment after

Courtesy Guess It’s hard to believe, but Guess turns 30 this year, and to celebrate, the brand is bringing back a true original: 1989 Guess girl Claudia Schiffer. “She was a turning point of Guess … Guess was a turning point of a life for Claudia,” CEO and creative director Paul Marciano tells WWD . The first iconic photo of her , wearing nothing but a black lace bustier, “made her career in my view, and that made Guess a different company. Everybody talked about the Guess girl.” For the new campaign, Schiffer was shot in Sorrento, Italy, under the creative direction of Marciano — who was on set for her first-ever Guess shoot — and by Ellen Von Unwerth, the photographer who took that original, iconic portrait. “Guess will always have a soft spot in my heart, and I’m excited that 23 years later we can still work together so successfully,” Schiffer, who starred in six campaigns from 1989-1991, tells WWD
Courtesy Aldo; Inset: Dave Hogan/Getty Time goes by so slowly when you’re waiting for Madonna to launch her line! The Material Girl’s “Truth or Dare” lifestyle brand — which includes fragrance, accessories, footwear and intimates — is rolling out in pieces in the months ahead. In August, expect to find Truth or Dare footwear at stores like Macy’s and Nordstrom. The collection will consist of flats, heels and boots — including some takes on styles Madonna is known for, like the over-the-knee boot — with price points from $89-$349. The shoes, created in part by Aldo, are designed for women ages 27-50 “who have a timeless style and an innate sex appeal,” according to a release
For the multi-talented James Franco , teaming up with 7 For All Mankind jeans and creative agency Lipman was a new challenge. The resulting campaign, comprised of both digital and print components, will culminate with a full-length feature film to be released in May. “I was able to work in ways that were similar to what I do in the film world,” the actor and sometimes-photographer says in a release, “but in this case we had a tremendous amount of freedom.” Starring model Lily Donaldson as his muse, Franco’s first-person narrative is reminiscent of how it feels to be surrounded by people (in this case, at a “hedonistic house party” in Malibu), but only really see one person. Perhaps the storylines of supporting characters, portrayed by actors Henry Hopper and Amber Anderson, will unfold in additional episodes of the project, but for now, feast your eyes on the first (above), directed and edited by Franco. – Justine Harman LIKE BEHIND-THE-SCENES ACCESS?

Courtesy London Fog She’s no longer part of the X Factor , but Nicole Scherzinger still looks X -ceptionally beautiful in her latest round of London Fog ads, hitting magazines this spring. The singer strikes a series of sexy poses in her campaign photos, modeling the brand’s classic trench coats … and little else.
Courtesy Macy’s INC Max Irons may be the first-ever celebrity ambassador for Macy’s private label, INC, but that doesn’t mean the 26-year-old always takes a perfect photo. “There’s this picture of me once, I had white hair at the time, for a play,” he tells PEOPLE. “I was forced into it,” he continues. “I spent all my time in psychedelic underpants with blonde, block hair with a blue stripe down the middle. I’ve seen myself in a few situations trying to look rather serious with that look and it’s terrible. I’ll never do that again.” Mind-bending undies aside, these days you’re more likely to catch the actor wearing all black.
Courtesy Ann Taylor We thought Kate Hudson was already pretty busy — she has two young sons , a jewelry line and an endorsement deal with Almay — but the actress is adding another bullet point to her résumé now as the new face of Ann Taylor. Joining stars like Demi Moore , Heidi Klum , Katie Holmes and Naomi Watts , Hudson was tapped to continue the company’s focus on “celebrating modern women of substance, style and success across every generation,” according to a release.
Courtesy ShoeMint When Rachel Bilson dived into creating a collection for ShoeMint , she didn’t merely dip a toe. “Understanding the footwear design nuances that make a shoe feel both authentic to my personal style, and are versatile enough to work with all women’s styles, has been a terrific learning experience,” she tells PEOPLE. “We’re lucky to be involved in every part of the process,” adds collaborator Nicole Chavez , who calls Steve Madden’s “craft of molding something like a piece of leather into a gorgeous finished shoe” an “art form.” In this never-before-seen video (after the jump), the team grants access behind the velvet curtain.

The campaign images, shot in Los Angeles by famed fashion photographer Norman Jean Roy , feature Moore in the middle of a magical snow-filled scene as she shows off some romantic pieces from the holiday collection, including tweed pants, a statement chandelier necklace and a beaded shell worn with a faux chinchilla stole — a personal favorite. “It’s so chic, luxurious and versatile,” she tells PEOPLE. From the sounds of it, Moore will happily share the brand’s holiday finds come December, too. “My holiday favorites at Ann Taylor are the amazing sweaters and all the little moments of faux fur and beading,” she adds.
Pascal Le Segretain/Getty She’s all of 14 years old, but Hailee Steinfeld is already more fashion-forward than many of her peers, thanks to her latest gig as the face of Miu Miu . “Just going from about a year-and-a-half ago, when I was doing the press for True Grit and the awards circuit and learning about the different designers and getting to wear them, and having Miu Miu be one of my favorites — then having something like [the campaign] come along was really huge for me,” Steinfeld tells Fashionista.com . “It’s been an honor.” The Oscar nominee — who designed her own dress for the big ceremony — did some print modeling in her younger days, and felt right at home behind the camera when working with photographer Bruce Weber . “It has been so much fun,” she says
Rihanna is playing the role of good girl gone bad as the new face of the Emporio Armani underwear and Armani Jeans autumn/winter 2011/2012 advertising campaigns — and she’s amping up the sex appeal with a new video for the brands.

Courtesy Miu Miu Modeling is a day at the park for young star Hailee Steinfeld , who poses prettily in just-released photos for Miu Miu’s fall/winter 2011 collection.

Looking serene while taking in the sights and sounds around her, Angelina Jolie appears in a new video that coincides with her “Core Values” campaign for Louis Vuitton. “In 2000, Angelina Jolie made her first trip to Cambodia,” a caption reads. “It was a journey that would change her life forever.” In fact, the actress first spent time in the Southeast Asian nation while filming Lara Croft: Tomb Raider , and was “overwhelmed by the beauty of its landscapes and the warmth and generosity of its people,” according to a release.
