Rihanna For Interview Magazine December 2010

Rihanna looks pretty hot on the cover of Interview Magazine’s December 2010 issue which was shot by Mikael Jansson.
Her editorial wasn’t a crazy as I imagined.
We see Rihanna wearing Lanvin, Valentino, Miu Miu and Chanel’s Spring 2011 feathered dress.
The singer was interviewed by label mate and friend Kanye West, who needs to brush up on his ridiculous interview questions.
Here are some extracts from their interview:
Kanye: How does it feel to know that you could have any man in the world? Or woman? How does it feel to know that you can turn straight women gay?
Rihanna: Is that a real question?
Kanye: Yeah.
Rihanna: Well … Thank you. I don’t know how to feel about that. I guess that’s flattering.
Kanye: So what inspired you to have that pink tank on your last tour? That was amazing, when you were sitting on top of the army tank.
Rihanna: I love to combine femininity with a kind of extreme masculine egde, and I felt like the tank is just not a typical thing that you think of when you think of a girl — or in any kind of relation to a girl. Then we made it hot pink. We just added that touch.
Kanye: I mean, people really need to see a photograph — the entire tank was pink. That was a great piece of commercial pop art. Was the idea of that to kind of portray an American Dream — like the fantasy of a this hot black girl sitting on a top of a pink tank?
Rihanna: I never actually thought of it like that.
Kanye: How did you get signed?
Rihanna: Well, I met Evan [Rogers] and Carl [Sturken], these two producers who live here in New York. They are both married to Barbadian women, so they go there to vacation all the time. My friend introduced me to them, and I sang for them, and we talked, and they had me and my mom come back a couple of days later. After that, we started traveling to New York, working on a demo. Within a year, it was done, and we sent it out. Def Jam was the first label to call back. We got other calls, but they were the most enthusiastic. It was so nerve-wracking, though, the whole experience.
Kanye: Why?
Rihanna: I mean, I was 16. From Barbados. Like, you would never … the chances of ever meeting somebody famous or ever being signed — that was just a deadly combination. Like, I had to meet Jay-Z and audition for him at the same time.
Kanye: Do you know any famous people now?
Rihanna: Huh?

Halle Berry In Alberta Ferretti – CNN Heroes: An All Star Tribute

I’m not sure how, but I missed Halle Berry at the CNN Heroes: An All Star Tribute earlier this week.
The Oscar winning actress looked divine wearing an Alberta Ferretti Resort 2011 white silk jersey one shoulder gown with two silver cuffs and large hooped earrings.
I love this look.
It’s so simple and elegant, but I do miss the days of her jaw dropping gowns that would blow us all away.

Elsa Pataky In Blumarine – Top Glamour Awards 2010

The Top Glamour Awards 2010 took place in Mexico recently.
Spanish actress Elsa Pataky arrived wearing a very sexy Blumarine Fall 2010 dress.
Her chiffon crystal embroidered bustier dress had a flowing chiffon train.
Elsa loves to show off her gorgeous figure, but I’m not surprised she didn’t wear her dress as dangerously short as the model.
Suede embellished heels and bun swept to the side completed her sexy red carpet look.

Who Wore Stella McCartney Better? Eva Mendes or Jenny McCarthy

Eva Mendes arrived at the 2010 MTV Movie Awards wearing a Stella McCartney Pre-Fall 2010 sequined dress.
Her loose-fitting dress didn’t show of the gorgeous curves we know Eva possess.
She added gold accessories to her already sparkling look.
Jenny McCarthy wore the same dress to the 2010 American Music Awards on Sunday.
Her modifed dress was shorter, sleeker and sexier, as it showed off more legs and gave her a more appealing silhouette.
Black peep-toe Louboutin’s and a super high updo completed her look.
Jenny wins this no question. She took this dress from blah to a sexy hot frock.

Lin Chiling In Valentino – 47th Golden Horse Film Awards

Lin Chiling was one of my favourites to walk the red carpet at the 47th Golden Horse Film Awards which was held in Taiwan recently.
The actress and model was breath-taking wearing an exquisite Valentino Pre-Fall 2010 gown.
I love how her gown shimmers via the beaded details on the skirt which are lost in the models studio picture.
We also get to see more of the lace details on the bodice.
Beauty, great style, grace and elegance always secures a star a spot on the BDOTW poll.
