PHOTOSHOOT : Lily Aldridge Sounds Off On Photoshop On HuffPost Live

PHOTOSHOOT : Lily Aldridge Sounds Off On Photoshop On HuffPost Live


Photoshop is certainly having a rocky relationship with models these days. Top faces like Crystal Renn, Gisele Bundchen and Coco Rocha have all bemoaned the industry's retouching standards. Now, we've officially heard it from the horse's -- er, model's -- mouth: It's not OK to alter models' looks completely.

Victoria's Secret Angel Lily Aldridge stopped by HuffPost Live to talk sexy summer trends, but the conversation quickly turned to the rampant Photoshopping occurring in the fashion industry. Needless to say, Ms. Aldridge isn't a fan of the practice:

"I honestly don't like Photoshop. I think when people Photoshop things, all of a sudden you're like, 'That's not even me anymore.' It takes away the natural beauty of a person. I think Gisele [Bundchen] had just said something like there's no more rawness, like the little quirks. You know, I have a gap in my teeth and sometimes people take it away. But I'm like, 'I love my teeth.' You know, that's me."

We're definitely on board with the prospect of less retouching in the pages of our glossies -- and we're not alone. Movements like SPARK Summit have petitioned major mags like Teen Vogue and Seventeen to go easy on the alterations, and the publications themselves have often used their "no Photoshop" covers to garner positive attention. Yet, it still seems that most ads and editorials are digitally perfected to each brand's content.

So should we abolish the use of Photoshop completely? Not quite, says Lily: "A little is fine, but don't go crazy." Perhaps the relationship is a little more complicated than we thought...

Watch Lily talking Photoshop in the video above -- or watch the full segment on HuffPost Live -- and tell us what you think!

Who needs Photoshop anyways?

PHOTOSHOOT : Queen Maxima's First Vogue Cover Is Absolutely Stunning

PHOTOS: Queen Maxima's First Vogue Cover Is Absolutely Stunning:
Times are good for Queen Maxima. First, she upgraded her title from princess to queen, then she kicked off May by landing her very first Vogue cover. Not too shabby, eh?

The Argentinian export is featured on a special edition of Vogue Netherlands, entitled "The Birth Of A Queen." As we've come to expect from royal glossy covers, the May 2013 cover shot isn't one that Maxima posed for, but rather a revamped photo from a previous glitzy engagement.

And we're totally cool with that. To attend the event in question, a state banquet in 2011, Maxima wore a white Jan Taminiau gown paired with a tiara -- could you get more regal? Plus, we think the 42-year-old royal would approve of Vogue's outfit choice, since she chose another show-stopping Taminiau number for the big Dutch inauguration last month.

Check out the Vogue Netherlands cover and the corresponding state banquet picture below and tell us what you think!

PHOTOS : Angelina Jolie Makes First Red Carpet Appearance After Double Mastectomy

Angelina Jolie Makes First Red Carpet Appearance After Double Mastectomy:
Angelina Jolie was glowing on the red carpet today (June 2) as she made her first public appearance since revealing her decision to undergo a double mastectomy last month.

Dressed in a custom black Saint Laurent gown, the actress, 37, joined her fiance Brad Pitt, 49, at the premiere of his new film "World War Z" at the Empire Leicester Square in London. The couple was all smiles as they posed for photos, looking as captivated with each other as ever.

On May 14, Jolie announced that she had been diagnosed with a mutated BRCA1 gene predisposing her to cancer. She revealed she had undergone a preventive mastectomy on Feb. 16 and reconstructive surgery on April 27 in an op-ed in the New York Times.

"I do not feel any less of a woman," she wrote. "I feel empowered that I made a strong choice that in no way diminishes my femininity."

As for Pitt, he has stood by his wife-to-be's side as she's been recovering at home in Los Angeles over the last few months. Pitt and Jolie have six children together -- Maddox, Pax, Zahara, Shiloh, Knox and Vivienne.

"Having witnessed this decision firsthand, I find Angie's choice, as well as many others like her, absolutely heroic," Pitt said in a statement following Jolie's announcement. "I thank our medical team for their care and focus."

WATCH VIDEO : Gisele Bundchen Mocks Hollywood In Vogue Video

WATCH: Gisele Bundchen Mocks Hollywood In Vogue Video:
We've become strangely immune to Hollywood's bizarre beauty tricks. Whether it's Jennifer Aniston debuting cupping marks, Kim Kardashian broadcasting her blood facial or Heather Locklear revealing the anti-aging benefits of semen, it seems as if no tactic is too wacky for the celebrity set.

Enter Gisele Bundchen to throw some shade on the whole thing.

The Brazilian supermodel stars in Vogue Italia's June 2013 Health & Beauty cover shoot video, a sendup of what it takes to get Hollywood beauty. The aforementioned cupping and blood facial make appearances as well as the trusty old tanning bed, facial and hair dye. And of course, whilst getting pampered, Gisele is checking her cell phone the whole way through.

Don't forget, we know where the mother really stands in regards to these things. "I feel like women should be really real and raw and it doesn’t really happen anymore [in fashion photographs]," she recently said. "I love that feeling of, you know, we are women, we are so different, our imperfections are what make us unique and beautiful."

See the video and resultant Steven Meisel-lensed cover below and tell us: Do you think all of these strange lengths are worth the results?

WATCH:

PHOTOSHOOT : Emma Watson Works A Bustier Like Nobody's Business

PHOTOS: Emma Watson Works A Bustier Like Nobody's Business:
Emma Watson seems to be on every red carpet these days, yet she's still coming up with new trends to try out.

For Monday's "This Is The End" premiere in Los Angeles, the English actress wore an ambitious Roland Mouret bustier -- animal print, strapless and peplummed. Narrowly avoiding a wardrobe malfunction when her top tried to slide down, Emma took the premiere in stride. She paired the bustier with cropped navy pants, painted her lips a deep plum and tucked her hair in a faux bob, elevating her edgy two-piece outfit for a more formal look.

But Emma may be trading acting for academics soon: Watson revealed that she'll return to her studies at Brown University this fall. That means this may be one of the last red carpet looks we'll see her in for a while... in which case: What do you think?

PHOTOSHOOT : Oh My! Rihanna Flashes Her Crotch Onstage

Oh My! Rihanna Flashes Her Crotch Onstage:
In a not-so-rare moment for the often boldly dressed singer, Rihanna recently flashed the crowd her private parts onstage in Istanbul, Turkey.

The 25-year-old singer is definitely not camera shy. Known for her raunchy Instagram posts and fashion-forward style, she certainly knows how to captivate her audience.

Apparently, she's no stranger to the crotch grab, either. As New York Magazine so aptly described, she put her "vaginal ventriloquism" on display at a Los Angeles concert in April.

Thus, the world has now caught glimpses of Riri's side boob, her leggy legs, and now ... her crotch.

As the saying goes, if you've got it, flaunt it.

PHOTOSHOOT : Catherine Deneuve's Daughter Set To Follow In Her Mother's Footsteps

PHOTOS: Catherine Deneuve's Daughter Set To Follow In Her Mother's Footsteps:
The pomme doesn't fall too far from the tree, after all. Beloved French actress Catherine Deneuve's daughter, Chiara Mastroianni, has just been announced as the new face of Fendi fragrances.

Mastroianni, an actress in her own right, is the daughter of Deneuve and Italian film star Marcello Mastroianni. Along with acting, fragrance shilling seems to be all in the family, as maman Deneuve spent the better part of the late '70s fronting campaigns for Chanel's No. 5 perfume. We bet Karl Lagerfeld, creative director for both Chanel and Fendi, was looking to channel the same icon energy with his latest casting choice.

We're eagerly awaiting the unveiling of Mastroianni's Fendi ads, but in the meantime, take a walk down memory lane with a few of Deneuve's classic campaigns. Think this is a "like mother, like daughter" scenario?

PHOTOSHOOT : Hilary Duff Steps Out In Her Go-To Style

PHOTOS: Hilary Duff Steps Out In Her Go-To Style:
Variety isn't always the spice of life -- sometimes a little consistency can be just as fun. Case in point: Hilary Duff's going-out uniform.

The actress and her husband, Mike Comrie, were spotted in West Hollywood last night, decked out in their finest casual evening wear. While her hubby opted for standard jeans and a leather jacket, Hil went for a familiar look in a loose black blouse and tight pants. It kind of reminded us of her ensemble from a night on the town last September. (Plus, how cute are her orange pumps and oversized quilted Chanel purse?)

We think it's great that the new mom can so easily put together a fun, easy-to-wear ensemble. But what about you? Do you have a go-to fashion uniform?

Last night's outfit:

PHOTOSHOOT : Cindy Crawford's First Cover Was A Swimsuit Shot

PHOTO: Cindy Crawford's First Cover Was A Swimsuit Shot:
We typically don't pay too much attention to Cindy Crawford's Twitter, mainly because 99 percent of the time, the supermodel is tweeting photos of herself. We love you, Cindy, but there are only so many Vogue covers and Testino spreads we can take in one day.

But Business Insider had their eye on Cindy and caught one very worthwhile tweet from this week: Cindy's very first "cover."



cindy crawford

We bet Miss Cindy Crawford of DeKalb, Illinois, was one popular high schooler the day that cover came out in 1982. Was this before or after her first bra ads were plastered all over her high school walls?

For more vintage Cindy pics, just follow the model herself on Twitter. We promise she won't let you down.

PHOTOSHOOT : Gisele Shows Off Intimates Line On Instagram

PHOTOS: Gisele Shows Off Intimates Line On Instagram:
When you're (officially) the world's most powerful model, and you ascended to success as a Victoria's Secret Angel, a lingerie line is a natural extension of your brand. Gisele Bündchen knows underwear, so hawking a line called Gisele Intimates makes sense.

It also makes sense for the 32-year-old industry veteran, now a serious humanitarian and mother of two, to model new designs herself. Gisele revealed on Vogue Brazil's June cover that she's far from full-time motherhood, and this week, she teased Gisele Intimates' newest offerings on social media, offering a behind-the-scenes glimpse of the line's latest shoot.

The model showed off her year-old company's new looks on Instagram yesterday and on Facebook last week. "I hope you like it!" she posted. Gisele has us looking forward to neutral intimates with fun, flirty details, like bows, bustiers and lace trim. What do you think of the new collection so far?

PHOTO : Carrie Underwood's Shorts Are ... SHORT

Carrie Underwood's Shorts Are ... SHORT:
Carrie Underwood took country to a whole new level yesterday (June 9) as she performed during the CMA Music Festival in Nashville.

The "Blown Away" singer flaunted her tanned and toned legs in a tiny pair of American flag short shorts, showing off her famous figure in studded boots and a ripped top. The 30-year-old, who's been dressing a bit more conservatively nowadays, proved that she's still a cowgirl at heart.

Sadly, Underwood's set at LP Field was cut short due to a storm, but she still put on quite the show for the sold-out crowd.

Sorry they wouldn't let us stay longer at LP Field tonight. At least we all got to play a little...I still had fun! Great crowd!
— Carrie Underwood (@carrieunderwood) June 10, 2013


Hope all you #CMAFest goers had fun this week/weekend! I hope you enjoyed Nashville and all its inhabitants! God bless country music fans!

PHOTOSHOOT : 'Pretty Little Liars' Get Hair Makeovers

PHOTOS: 'Pretty Little Liars' Get Hair Makeovers:
It's pretty hard being a teenager, especially when your boyfriend is keeping secrets, you feel insurmountable pressure from your parents and you're being tormented by the "ghost" of your late BFF. But that's completely normal for the characters of "Pretty Little Liars."

Over the past three seasons, we've been enthralled by the teenage drama of Spencer Hastings, Hanna Marin, Emily Fields and Aria Montgomery. But it was a serious case of hair envy that had us tuning back in to "PLL" this time around.

Celebrity stylist Kim Ferry, who spent the last nine years working on "The Office" before landing on the set of the ABC Family show, gave the four leading ladies hair makeovers. Read on for the scoop behind their "softer, yet vulnerable" Season 4 look.



pretty little liars season 4

"I noticed that the hairstyles for the 'Pretty Little Liars' ladies have been a variety of youthful, playful styles," said Ferry. "Their wardrobe and makeup have created excitement and inspiration for the fans, so when I joined the show this season, I aimed to do the same in the hair department."

She explained, "The girl characters have been through a lot in Season 4 -- 'A' is really wearing them all down so we are trying to keep that in mind, reflecting that in the 'on camera' hairstyles."

Ferry created beach waves using large curling irons, wrapping one to two inch sections of hair vertically around the barrel. Then, she left to cool in a hanging position to appear as though they walked out of the ocean and let their hair dry in the sun. To help replace any moisture lost during the daily blow drying and hot iron styling process, the hairstylist used Natural Essential Healing Dry Oil to help nourish dry, damaged ends and calm flaky scalps.

"We were filming outside late at night, and the humidity started to effect on the cast's hair, so I whipped out my dry oil," said Ferry. "I placed a drop on my hand, rubbed my hands together and slowly smoothed the oil through the actors' ends, lightly over the curls and won the fight against those tiny hairs popping up and being a distraction on camera. And it smells great, too!"

It's definitely a more mature look. Are you excited about the "Pretty Little Liars" Season 4 hair transformation?

PHOTO : Cindy Crawford Goes Pantsless On The Cover Of Muse

Cindy Crawford Goes Pantsless On The Cover Of Muse:
Looks like our favorite '90s supermodel is at it again.

47-year-old Cindy Crawford covered the summer 2013 issue of Muse magazine, looking every bit the bombshell we first fell in love with in 1982.

In true Cindy style, she's got perfectly unkempt hair, minimal makeup and a sweater with her name on it, natch. This is a look we'd love to wear while lounging around the house (probably plus a pair of pants).

The cover, shot by Mariano Vivanco, is another one for the books and simply adds to the umteen gorgeous photographs of the leggy model. Will this gal ever slow down?

PHOTOSHOOT : Rihanna Doesn't Have Words For What's Going On Here

LOOK: Rihanna Doesn't Have Words For What's Going On Here:
Rihanna hopped off stage and right into the arms of Victoria's Secret model Chanel Iman before posting this "cheeky" picture on Instagram yesterday. The exchange apparently left RiRi speechless, as the singer captioned the image with a simple, "I don't even know what to say!"

The photo is one of many that she has posted throughout her stay in the French capital as the 25-year-old performer bounced from the Eiffel Tower to Coco Chanel's apartment during the Paris stop of her World Diamonds Tour.

But according to E!, the model might have been there to see someone else besides the singer, as she has been spotted cozying up with the opening act, A$AP Rocky, over the last few months. At least Rihanna got to sneak in some sugar while she could!

5 Ways Miley Cyrus Is Totally Channeling Sinead O'Connor:
When Miley Cyrus stepped out Wednesday night, we noticed more than her split-personality pants. The 20-year-old has been channeling alt-rock singer Sinead O'Connor ever since she chopped off her hair -- and the black crop top and baggy jean combo she wore last night topped them all.

Check out other looks Cyrus has totally ripped off from the '90s icon.

Miley copies Sinead's bra-top and baggy jeans combo from her performance at the 1989 Grammy Awards:

VOGUE COVER : Miranda Kerr Kills It On The Cover Of Vogue

Miranda Kerr Kills It On The Cover Of Vogue:
Miranda Kerr covers the July 2013 issue of Vogue Korea, looking perfect as always.

The Australian supermodel exudes sex appeal wearing an off-white Proenza Schouler jacket and little else. The photo, shot by Eric Guillemain, sees Kerr in high-waisted underwear, showcasing her svelte figure and long gams.

Although the brunette bombshell has been at the center of controversy in the past few weeks (rumors swirled that Victoria's Secret chose not to renew the Angel's contract), her career seems to be doing just fine, as this marks her second Vogue cover of the year.

Though we may be seeing less of Kerr stomping down the VS runway, we're thrilled that she is popping up at just about every newsstand across the country.

PHOTOSHOOT : You'll Never Guess Who Makes Taylor Swift's Dress

You'll Never Guess Who Makes Taylor Swift's Dress:
It seems as though another one of our favorite celebs has stepped out in a look we can actually afford!

Pop princess Taylor Swift donned an adorable French Connection dress in her latest music video "Everything Has Changed." The video features the 23-year-old singer playing a mom and shows her in an adorable white cotton frock (available here).

Though we're used to seeing the Pennsylvania native in Elie Saab couture, she is no stranger to high street fashion. It seems as though more and more celebs are turning to some of our most beloved stores to do their shopping -- and we can't say we mind!

So, what do you think of Taylor's dress?

PHOTO : What Did Kate Upton Look Like At Age 18?

PHOTO: What Did Kate Upton Look Like At Age 18?:
Happy Flashback Friday! Today we're taking a look back at Kate Upton's (sort of) humble beginnings. While the model just celebrated her 21st birthday, Reddit user digitron has unearthed a Polaroid of Kate taken when the aspiring model was three years younger -- at the tender age of 18.

Kate looks pretty much unchanged since the days of this test shot, which is dated June 2010 (just a year before her recently repurposed Victoria's Secret snaps) and bears an "IMG" scribble, likely referring to the modeling agency that took Upton in.

With her signature pout and long blonde locks, the baby-faced Sports Illustrated stunner looks unmistakable. Though she's clearly grown since the Polaroid was taken, teenage Kate displays all the makings of a model superstar. We wonder if the photographer could sense she'd make it onto the cover of Vogue someday...

AMERICAN VOGUE : Katy Perry Covers American Vogue

FINALLY: Katy Perry Covers American Vogue:
American Vogue, you tease. When we learned back in April that the fashion magazine to end all fashion magazines might feature Katy Perry on its hallowed cover, we practically lit fireworks in her honor.

Vogue debuted Katy's July cover on their website today... and little else. The mag writes that the photo was shot by none other than Vogue fave Annie Leibovitz, and provided a teeny tease on the accompanying article, which we can't read until next Tuesday:

Leaving pop novelty and broken hearts behind her, Katy Perry has grown into her formidable talent.

Sounds juicy. Katy's Rodarte-outfitted cover certainly shows a leap in maturity of sorts, as she's previously been featured on the brand's more junior Teen Vogue. Showcasing a performer follows magazines' recent trend of featuring non-models on their glossiest page. Though the question remains: Do singers sell well on newsstands?

Congratulations, Katy! Better whip out that Dolce & Gabbana crown from the Met Gala, girl -- you've earned it.

PHOTOS : What's Kate Middleton Telling Us With Her Late-Pregnancy Pink?

PHOTOS: What's Kate Middleton Telling Us With Her Late-Pregnancy Pink?:
Being a queen is officially the best job ever. Not only do you get to wear sparkling crowns and gorgeous gowns, you get to celebrate your birthday twice -- and with a 41-gun salute.

Saturday's annual Trooping the Colour parade honored Queen Elizabeth's 87th birthday (which actually happened back on April 21). The ceremony, originally a way to prepare for battle, now serves as a traditional way to honor the monarch's birthday with regal bombast.

While the birthday girl Queen wore a gorgeous Angela Kelly coat, we couldn't take our eyes off our favorite duchess, Kate Middleton, at what will likely be her last public appearance before taking maternity leave.

Far more subdued in comparison to Thursday's leopard-print look, the duchess wore powder pink Alexander McQueen, accessorized with a matching hat perched at a jaunty angle. (Could this girly color be nod to her "d..." perhaps?)

Prince William rode horseback in the ceremony while Prince Harry, Kate and the Duchess of Cornwall rode along in carriages. Look closely at Kate's ensemble, then click through the slideshow below to see the royals' celebrate. Could your birthday party top this one?

PHOTOS:Rihanna's 'Rain Boots' Sure Are Ambitious:
We all have a pair of go-to rain boots we reserve for the dreariest days. While ours come from L.L. Bean, Rihanna favors Tom Ford thigh-highs in a drizzle. Naturally.

Before heading out to London's Cuckoo Club in Friday night's soggy weather, the 25-year-old singing sensation shared a photo on Instagram implying that the fashion designer gifted her over-the-knee boots fresh from his fall 2013 collection. Rihanna posted the following photo, captioned, "My baby daddy loves me!!!! #TomFord I love you! Thank you!":

rihanna boots

That box certainly looks big enough to hold the high-end thigh-highs she wore to puddle-jump her way through the evening. Rihanna has been fond of S&M-inspired footwear for quite sometime -- which she prefers to pair with bare legs. Hey, statement shoes sure are one way to cancel out the "Risky Business" look an oversized white shirt evokes. What do you think of Rihanna's fancy boots?
