STYLE DRAMA

Russian beauty Olga Kurylenko who stars in the new James Bond movie (Quantum of Solace) is landing magazine covers across the world. In November, she graces Elle Russia and Elle France’s covers.

Victoria’s Secret model Karolina Kurkova graces the cover of British Elle’s November issue, looking hot and fierce. A model, who has been criticized for showing “back fat, love handles and cellulite,” answers her critics back with a stunning Elle cover.

The Oscar winning actress Nicole Kidman looked fresh and beautiful on the cover of Elle’s November issue.

Jennifer Lopez is all glam on Elle’s October cover. She plays muse and icon to some of her favorite designers: Georgina Chapman of Marchesa, Donatella Versace, Michael Kors and Oscar de la Renta.

Here are the extracts:

On Dolce and Gabbana:

“My babies! I love them, I love them, I love them.”

On Donatella Versace:

“We’ve always had a very sweet relationship. I really got to know her more after her brother had died.”

On Georgina Chapman:

“She could be a model—but meanwhile she’s down there pinning and sewing all these things all over you!”

On shooting in Washington Heights with Oscar de la Renta:

“We were in the hoody! All kinds of locals hanging around, eating out of paper bags, thinking, what’s going on here? It was crazy.”

One of the worst magazine covers we have seen is Elle August with Mariah Carey on its cover. Mariah on a cover sans her bikini is simply not the Mariah we all know and love, and Mariah is truly not Mariah, without posing in a ultra skinny little dress.

The Hancock star and Oscar winning actress landed another magazine cover. We must admit that Charlize Theron looks stunning on Elle’s cover.

Here are the highlights from her interview to Elle UK:

• On fashion: “As for fashion, I couldn’t ever be a slave. I don’t do scruffy because I can’t do it. It doesn’t suit me. I like clean, classic looks. Just because skinny jeans are in fashion you don’t wear them if they suck on you.”

• Charlize on why she will never marry boyfriend Stuart Townsend: “I want to know that I wake up every morning with him because I want to, not because a piece of paper says so…I believe in love but I don’t believe in marriage.”

• Charlize on a ring on her finger given to her by Stuart: “It was a Victorian thing. You put in a lock of hair or a little note to remind you of your loved one. Stuart gave it to me. Every time I go away he puts in a little love note. I wear it all the time. It’s not an engagement ring but it is a ring that signifies my commitment to him.

• Charlize on Hollywood’s obsession with weight: “I don’t have hang-ups about the way I look. I can see myself in the mirror when I’m all done up and think I look pretty hot, but I can see myself every day and see this round Dutch doll face. We’ve got so crazy about our faces and our bodies. I guard my privacy partly because I like to keep my head free from all that paranoia. I’m not super-skinny. I have curves and they belong on my body. I put on two stone for Monster but I also lost two stone when I played a woman with cancer in Sweet November [alongside Keanu Reeves].”

On her fashion:

“I don’t know—you’re either on the worst-dressed list or you’ve started a fashion trend. I think there’s a real disconnect between the media’s perception of fashion and the fashion world’s idea of fashion. I don’t know why I wear some of the things I wear. I like wearing crazy things sometimes. I like being playful. Sometimes I feel like I’m playing dress-up and becoming a character. It’s sort of like an art. It can change your mood or the way that people are attracted to you.”

Lauren Hutton on MK:

“I feel like M.K. is a kindred spirit. She lives an experimental life. When you’re young, you should be trying on lots of things, not just clothes. She understands that. You’re not born with taste. That’s a bunch of hooey. Like everything else, taste is a process of discovery. I like that about her. She’s always discovering her tastes.”

Karl Lagerfeld on MK:

“I love a tiny woman in Chanel. Coco herself was tiny, so you don’t need to be a giant to look good in these. I like the way M.K. is mixing Chanel with other things. Life is not a fashion show, and I find a total designer look boring.”

A new fashion reality show will start on The CW Network this Fall. Stylista, being toted as a reality version of The Devil Wears Prada, will see the light of day this Fall as a companion piece to Tyra Banks’ America’s Next Top Model. Stylista follows eleven fashion mavens as they vie for a shot at an editorial job with Elle Magazine. Each episode features the fashionistas carrying out an assistant’s task and a fashion editorial assignment in a series of style-related challenges.

Contestants will work as assistants to Elle’s fashion news director, Anne Slowey. Anne will fire one person each week until the last assistant is left standing.

Stylista’s $100,000 grand prize package includes an editorial position at Elle Magazine, a paid lease on a Manhattan apartment, and a one year clothing allowance at H&M, reports Popcrunch.
