Fashion News Roundup: Madonna Makes Out with Herself in New Fragrance Ad, Rodarte is Designing for the NYC Ballet, and Adam Levine Wants You to Smell Like His ‘Personality’

Madonna Makes Out with Herself in Her Fragrance Ad: Here’s the ad for Madonna’s Truth or Dare fragrance, featuring the creator (who has “always been obsessed with fragrance”) on the verge of making out with herself. There’s no doubt Madge looks fab here, but also at least 20 years younger than her actual age (53)– we dare you to find an un-retouched pixel. Truth or Dare is available April 1 at Macy’s. {US Weekly}

Adam Levine has Got the Scent Like Jagger: Following in the manly, fragrant footsteps of Bruce Willis comes another (albeit a little less macho) perfume from Maroon 5 and The Voice‘s Adam Levine. The scents for both men and women, named ’222′, will be out next year and will “reflect Levine’s personality and style.” Market research is a fascinating thing. {Refinery29}

Spanx Creator is a Young Billionairess: Forbes has named Spanx inventor Sara Blakely as the world’s youngest female self-made billionaire.

Fashion News Roundup: Rodolfo Paglialunga Out at Vionnet, Florence Welch Dancing in Couture and Johnny Depp Compares Photo Shoots to Rape

Vionnet Has New Creative Directors: It’s just been announced that Rodolfo Paglialunga is out as designer of Vionnet. He is credited with restarting the sleepy French brand and the decision is reportedly mutual. He will be replaced by Italian twin sisters Barbara and Lucia Croce, who we know absolutely nothing about. {WWD}

Florence Welch’s Couture Dance Party: Fashion’s favorite Brit songstress Florence Welch wears gorgeous couture looks from Valentino and Elie Saab in Florence and the Machine’s latest video for “Shake it up.” We can’t ID the red dress, but it’s super pretty as well. UDPATE: It was Elie Saab. {YouTube via Fashin}

Karl Lagerfeld’s Coke Moment: In this hilarious video from Style.com’s twitter, a man in a suit carries a glass of Coca-cola on a silver tray over to Karl Lagerfed, waits for him to take a sip, and then walks away. It’s probably the best thing I’ve seen all fashion month. {@styledotcom}
