A History of Naked, Pregnant Celebs on Magazine Covers

A History of Naked, Pregnant Celebs on Magazine Covers

by

Earlier today, the Internet was all a flutter with the newly released nudie pics of an extremely pregnant (it’s been what, ten months now?) Jessica Simpson on the cover of Elle. The April 2012 spread was photographed by Carter Smith and styled by Joe Zee, but they clearly got some inspiration, elsewhere. Since Annie Leibovitz shot a naked and pregnant Demi Moore for Vanity Fair twenty-one years ago, it seems like pregnant celebs everywhere have been clamoring to strip down for the newsstands.n At this point, it’s practically a right of passage for expectant stars, as well as an informal announcement that “exclusive first baby pictures!” will be shopped around in the near future. Is pregnancy a valid excuse for famous women (most of whom would scoff at an offer from Playboy in normal circumstances) to take it all off?

Take a look at our investigation of the fascinating (and at times, extremely uncomfortable) history of the naked, pregnant magazine cover. Do you think it’s a celebration or just exploitation? And does a pregnant naked person really make you want to buy a magazine? We want to hear what you think.

A Look Back at Mariah Carey’s Sexy Christmas Ensembles

A Look Back at Mariah Carey’s Sexy Christmas Ensembles

by

Ever since she released “All I Want For Christmas (is You)” in 1994, which I still believe to be the best Christmas song of all time, Mariah Carey has donned her fair share of sexy Christmas outfits, or ensembles, as she would say. Today, the video came out for a new “Superfestive!” version of the iconic holiday song, which also features a plaid-clad Justin Bieber.

Although we typically believe in not fixing things that aren’t broken, any opportunity to hear that catchy chorus is a welcome one and this could have turned out a lot worse than it did. As NY mag points out, the song is bad-proof.

In the video, which was shot entirely at Macy’s Herald Square (product placement!), Mariah wears one of her most revealing santa ensembles yet and maybe the cutest? See below for the video and click through to see her many sexy Christmas outfits from album covers, videos and performances over the years and you be the judge.

Office Supplies That Double As Makeup Tools, And More Tricks From CoverGirl’s Jake Bailey

by Natalie Matthews

Maybe Taylor Swift’s adorably humble yet impressively savvy image is more than just a media concoction. Despite the team of professionals she’s surrounded by, the gal frequently does her own makeup. According to celebrity makeup artist Jake Bailey, that perfect, dramatic cat eye–a staple hammered into her looks as heavily as her army of pale, full-skirted frocks–is often Taylor’s own handiwork.

“I’m amazed at the speed and precision with which she does her own cat eye,” Bailey gushed over dinner at NYC’s 5 Ninth last night, rendering even the most adept beauty editors at the table a little jealous. Noting that many women have slightly different shaped eyes, Bailey cited “practice, practice, practice” as his main advice for mastering the look, since there’s no uniform trick to account for individual, asymmetrical nuances.

Watch: Mariah Carey’s Hilarious and Kinda Mind Blowing HSN Appearance

by

Mariah Carey hasn’t made many public appearances since giving birth to twins Moroccan Scott and Monroe back in April, but she surfaced Sunday night to shill her blinged out butterfly jewelry, clothing, and fragrances on HSN. What ensued in those two hours was hilarious, we gather, from Gawker’s edited down footage. Carey gripes about her difficult pregnancy (she suggests some of her HSN merch can serve as “push gifts”), gets confused a lot about which camera to look at, and coins a new word (or at least it’s new to me): pow. A boot is “like pow.” A girl walking down the street in Mariah Carey for HSN is “pow.” This whole clip is POW. Click here to watch.

The Fate of Galliano’s Perfume (Plus Fragrance News from Beyonce, Heidi Klum, and Mariah Carey)

by

It’s a very juicy day for fragrance today. From Galliano to Mariah Carey, everyone has some scent news to report.

Will Galliano’s Perfume Survive?: First up, it seems that Galliano’s fragrance, whose sales took a nosedive after the scandal hit this past winter, is rebounding. While Galliano’s second fragrance, Parlez-Moi d’Amour, launched in Europe last fall, the company has held off on its US launch, which was supposed to happen this spring. In obvious markets like Israel, WWD reports that the scent took a hit. Certain retailers in Germany and the UK were also reluctant to stock it. But now it seems that the industry has a short memory and retailers, who point to the quality of the fragrance and popularity with consumers, are willing to sell it again.

Hollywood’s Most Powerful Stylists: The Complete List

by

We’ve become huge fans of the Hollywood Reporter over the last few months, mostly due to Janice Min’s excellent makeover of the trade publication. Staffer Merle Ginsberg navigates the LA fashion scene with an entertaining mix of gossip, insider news, and general knowledge that is not only rare for the West Coast, but rare for fashion writing in general.

So we were thrilled to see Ginsberg’s list of the 25 most powerful stylists in Hollywood covering this week’s issue. Rachel Zoe obviously ranks number one, with names like Nicole Chavez, Annabel Tollman, Brad Goreski, Leslie Fremar, and Kate Young rounding it out. See the full list below, and read the Zoe cover story here.
