Will Model For Food: The Most Unexpected Endorsement Deals Yet

Leave a comment

Before you fly off the handle about the odd news that Alessandra Ambrosio has signed on as the face of Always Maxi Pads, consider that she’s far from the only fashion model to pose for something that wasn’t clothing, fragrance, or accessories.

Case in point: Naomi Campbell once helped hawk a luxury condo building in Russia, and Kate Upton is currently the face of a product she’ll probably never use: men’s razors from Gillette. So it really shouldn’t come as a surprise that Ambrosio has decided to back Always’s new Platinum Collection, which boasts a “silk-like top-sheet” and “superabsorbent gel” core.

Alessandra Ambrosio, Victoria’s Secret Angel, Can Totally Pull Off This Micro-Mini (PHOTO)

By The Huffington Post News Editors

Whether you’ve caught a glimpse of her strutting down the Victoria’s Secret runway, seen her face on a billboard for Christian Dior or Ralph Lauren, or spotted her on Forbes’ top-earning models list, chances are you know Alessandra Ambrosio (and her rock-hard abs). The Brazilian beauty got her start at an Elite Model Look competition and has gone on to become one of the most talked about models in the business.

In celebration of her 32nd birthday (we know, 32 has never looked so good), we are taking a look back at an old photo of the supermodel. In this 2003 shot, we see Ambrosio at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show After Party, looking rather scantily clad in a risqué ensemble. The 5’9″ stunner is seen laughing in an off-the-shoulder top, matching white scarf and micro-mini skirt (but hey, if anyone can pull off a short hemline, it’s a Victoria’s Secret Angel). Ambrosio looks amazing here… and it’s pretty obvious that today, two children later, she still looks the same. We must find out this lady’s secrets.

Miranda Kerr Still Working With Victoria's Secret, Set to Walk in Next Runway Show

Leave a comment

By Justin Fenner

Reports are swirling that Miranda Kerr is no longer a Victoria’s Secret Angel, but the company says she’s still going to be featured in the brand’s next annual fashion show.

According to Us Weekly, the Australian supermodel’s three-year contract with the lingerie brand, valued at some $1 million, was not renewed. Sources told the magazine that Kerr was “not a big seller,” unlike her colleagues Alessandra Ambrosio and Erin Heatherton.

However, in a statement to POPSUGAR Fashion News, the brand’s chief marketing officer, Ed Razek, called Kerr “one of the best models in the history of the business” and “also a consummate professional.” He continued to say, “Any rumors to the contrary are simply untrue. While her international commitments have kept her away from us more than we’d like over the past few years, she will always be an Angel to me.”

And despite her other commitments – like her skin care brand, Kora – Razek added, “We have no plans to stop working with her. In fact, I’ve already invited her to walk the runway in this year’s fashion show and, happily, she’s agreed.”

Miranda Kerr Reportedly Out as Victoria's Secret Angel

By Justin Fenner

Miranda Kerr has reportedly been let go from her coveted position as a Victoria’s Secret Angel.

According to Us Weekly, the Australian supermodel’s three-year contract with the lingerie brand, valued at some $1 million, was not renewed. Sources told the magazine that Kerr was “not a big seller,” unlike her colleagues Alessandra Ambrosio and Erin Heatherton.

That’s not to say Victoria’s Secret will drop Kerr altogether. Ed Razek, the company’s chief marketing officer, said that he’s already asked Kerr to walk in the 2013 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show, telling Us, “We have no plans to stop working with her.” Another source pointed out that Kerr can still pose for the brand’s catalog, as models don’t need to be full fledged Angels to be featured in it.

So far there’s been no word from Kerr on the matter, and her Twitter bio still says she’s an Angel. We’ve reached out to representatives for both Victoria’s Secret and Miranda Kerr and will update this post when we hear a response.

It's Official: Karlie Kloss Is a Victoria's Secret Angel

Leave a comment

By Justin Fenner

Karlie Kloss has finally gotten her wings. The model is now a bona fide Victoria’s Secret Angel, and she put her halo on display this week at the brand’s Secret Spring 2013 swim collection photocall in Los Angeles.

Kloss, flanked by veteran Angels Candice Swanepoel and Alessandra Ambrosio, posed for the cameras in a white knit top and a pink bikini. She also participated in this week’s #AskAnAngel Q-and-A session on Twitter, fielding fan’s questions about everything from her favorite actress (“I’m currently in love with Jennifer Lawrence,” she said) and her favorite colors to wear to the beach.

While Kloss has appeared in ads for Victoria’s Secret and walked in the brand’s annual fashion show not once, but twice, her official inclusion on the roster of Angels will doubtless mean big things for her career. Being an Angel is a little bit like a stairway to heaven in the modeling industry for a variety of reasons – not least of which is that Angels tend to be the highest-earning women in the business. On Forbes‘s list of the highest-paid models of 2012, six were current or former Angels.

Alessandra Ambrosio, Candice Swanepoel Stun: Whose Look Do You like Best? (PHOTOS)

Leave a comment

By The Huffington Post News Editors

Alessandra Ambrosio and fellow Victoria’s Secret model Candice Swanepoel headed to “Extra” on Tuesday to promote the lingerie brand’s 2013 swim collection.

Candice looked elegant in a crisp white sweater-and-cropped-pants outfit that accentuated her tiny waist and blonde hair. Her strappy black sandals added a bit of sex appeal to her tailored look. But if she was short on sultriness, her fellow model made up for it in spades.

Alessandra showed off what her mama gave her in a bright blue romper that complemented her mile-long legs. To call the onesie short would be an understatement; we are guessing there was some serious tush-on-chair contact when the supermodel sat down. Not that she did a lot of sitting in that outfit.

Flash Mobs

Leave a comment

As origin stories go, Mario Testino‘s is a pretty good one. “Years ago, Madonna introduced me to Gianni Versace,” he recalled at the opening of an exhibition of his work at L.A.’s Prism Gallery. “That opened up a lot of doors for me. At the time, I was completely unknown.”

“Unknown” wouldn’t be the word today. Alessandra Ambrosio, André Balazs, Kim Kardashian, and Zac Posen were among the many who crowded the vernissage of Testino’s first gallery showing in the U.S. in seven years. And even for the constantly photographed, Testino stands alone. “He captures the realness in people,” Kardashian said. “He gets them—both as being glamorous and also natural.” Ambrosio confirmed, saying, “He captures the moment—from the colors to the attitude. No matter who he’s shooting, there’s always attitude in the pictures.”

For the photographer, the evening was a rare moment on the other side of the lens, both literally and figuratively. “It’s funny, because we fashion photographers do our work. We’re not usually in front of the firing squad, and sometimes exposing your work in this manner feels like that,” he said. “But it’s great to be here.”

At nearby Madeo, an equally glamorous crowd had gathered for Chanel and Charles Finch‘s annual pre-Oscars dinner. There seemed hardly a corner that wasn’t clogged with star power. At one end of the restaurant sat the young Hollywood crowd, including Chloë Moretz, Gia Coppola, and Zoë Kravitz, there with mom Lisa Bonet; farther inside, Liberty Ross stopped to talk to Liz Goldwyn while Rachel Zoe and Marisa Tomei looked on. In the back were the blondes: Kate Bosworth, Poppy Delevingne, and Rosie Huntington-Whiteley all sat together. As would be expected, Oscar talk dominated the conversations. “I loved Django Unchained, and I loved Life of Pi,” Huntington-Whiteley said. “We’ll have to see what goes on tomorrow.” But even the biggest night of the year in Hollywood couldn’t keep anyone at home the night before. “I’ve been invited to a lovely dinner,” the model exclaimed. “I’d be a crazy woman not to accept.”

A Guide to Getting Fired From Your Job at Alexander Wang

Leave a comment

By Justin Fenner

Only Alexander Wang could make the sad, steady decline of customer service laugh-out-loud funny. For T’s Spring 2013 campaign video, Wang hired Bon Qui Qui – the hilariously rude character created by Mad TV alumna Anjelah Johnson – to work in his New York flagship store.

Bon Qui Qui is best known for the skit in which she lambasts customers at a fast-food restaurant for making complicated orders. Is it any surprise that this time around, she tries to shove Alessandra Ambrosio‘s foot into a shoe two sizes too small, tells model Shannan Click she doesn’t look good in baby blue, and ends up accusing Simon Doonan of grand theft handbag? A look at her antics on the first day of work, below.
