PHOTOS : Kate Middleton Makes A Bold Statement With St. Patrick's Day Outfit (PHOTOS)

PHOTOS :  Kate Middleton Makes A Bold Statement With St. Patrick's Day Outfit (PHOTOS): Monochromatic much, duchess?

Everyone's favorite royal couple stepped out Monday for the first time in what felt like an eternity, and, as usual, all eyes were on Kate and her festive ensemble. She and Prince William presented shamrocks at the annual St. Patrick's Day parade in Aldershot, England.

The duchess got decked out in green from fascinator to feet for the occasion, and looked gorgeous -- not to mention happy as a clam -- in a Hobbs coat and Gina Foster hat. Even though she is famous for recycling outfits and the look is pretty similar to the one she wore to last years' parade, these pieces are new.

This marks the royal couple's first appearance since before they slipped away to the Maldives for a bit of R & R -- perhaps that's why they seem so happy and relaxed? Either that, or the adorable pup they're pictured with.

What do you think about Kate's all-green everything? Sound off below!

Keira Knightley's New Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Ad Is Full Of Mystery & Adventure (VIDEO)

Keira Knightley's New Chanel Coco Mademoiselle Ad Is Full Of Mystery & Adventure (VIDEO): Since 2007, "Pirates of the Caribbean" actress Keira Knightley has represented one of the most iconic brands in the world, Chanel. In her third campaign for the perfume Coco Mademoiselle, Knightley stars in a short film where she embodies the character of Coco Mademoiselle, keeping up with the mystery and adventure featured in previous ads.
Knightley works with "Atonement" director Joe Wright again, and really loves the feel of this latest installment. "The third film is very silver and quite cool," Knightley says in a press release. Of the character, she says, "But again, nobody can quite capture her; so she is kind of there, but she is sort of playing with them … And then she gets on a speed boat! What more can you ask for?"
Chanel and company definitely played down blatant sex appeal in comparison to their last Coco Mademoiselle commercial.
Watch the 60-second clip above to see what all of the excitement is about, and get a sneak peek of the editorial campaign shot by Mario Testino below.

PHOTO : Amanda Seyfried Covers April Issue Of W Magazine, Proves That More Is More

PHOTO : Amanda Seyfried Covers April Issue Of W Magazine, Proves That More Is More: Well, everything we've ever known to be true about bold makeup feels a little outdated now.



Amanda Seyfried is the cover star of W Magazine's April issue and looks absolutely stunning in a Chanel bathing suit and jewels. More notably, however, is her dramatic eye/lip combo, which contradicts every "less is more" beauty lesson we've ever heard. We already know there are health benefits to wearing lipstick, so perhaps pairing bright lips with heavy eye makeup is even healthier? Probably unlikely, but we're willing to do the leg work to find out.



To read the interview with Seyfried, where she divulges about everything from her adorable pup to her affinity for sex scenes, head over to W Magazine.

PHOTOS : Emma Watson Is The Perfect Mix Of Classy And Sexy On 'Noah' Red Carpet: Emma Watson has mastered the art of looking both classy and sexy at the same time.



The 23–year–old was gorgeous as she stepped onto the red carpet in Madrid at the Spanish premiere of her film, "Noah," on Monday, March 17. Wearing not–your–typical pant suit, Watson sported a J. Mendel look consisting of black pants and a low-cut white top.

Watson plays the role of Ila in the upcoming film with a star–studded cast that includes Russell Crowe and Jennifer Connelly. Even more impressive? Looking appropriate for a biblical movie premiere in a plunging neckline.

Kate Hudson And Ann Taylor Team Up To Create An LBD For Everyone

Kate Hudson And Ann Taylor Team Up To Create An LBD For Everyone: The LBD, or "Little Black Dress" is one of those things that we learn about very early on in our relationships with fashion. The versatile staple goes with pretty much anything, can be worn to everything from a wedding to a job interview, and never goes out of style -- just ask Andre Leon Talley. But what about those of us who can't pick just one? Well, Ann Taylor and Kate Hudson have a solution for you.



After a few months of speculation, the retailer announced Wednesday that they are collaborating with Hudson, its spokesperson, on a capsule collection of five LBD's to be sold in Ann Taylor stores this spring. With names like "Best Actress" and "The Romantic," the collection was designed not only with fashion in mind but versatility as well.



The 34-year-old actress has been the face of Ann Taylor since 2012, and this marks her second time designing for the store. "We designed them to fit how we all live—so there's something for every occasion and everyone," she stated in a release.



We'll have to wait until April 10 to see the entire collection, but take a sneak peek at two of the dresses below, and head over to AnnTaylor.com to shop some of their other great pieces in the meantime.

Chanel Iman Strikes A Pose For 'The Edit' And Speaks Out Again On Fashion Diversity (PHOTOS)

Chanel Iman Strikes A Pose For 'The Edit' And Speaks Out Again On Fashion Diversity (PHOTOS): Chanel Iman's rise to supermodel status is the stuff of legends. At only 15-years-old she walked in fashion shows for Marc Jacobs, Derek Lam and Proenza Schouler, she graced the cover of her first Vogue magazine by 18, and now at 23-years-old she has campaigns for Ralph Lauren, DKNY and Gap under her belt.
And what's really amazing is that she has accomplished it all despite dealing with plenty of racism along the way.
The daughter of an African-American father and a half African-American, half Korean mother Chanel hasn't been shy about sharing her tales of racial discrimination -- which has in turn helped to shine the spotlight on the fashion industry's overall diversity problem.
Now Chanel is speaking out once again on the subject for the current cover story of Net-A-Porter's The Edit.
“I think that everyone should be equal; it shouldn’t be about color," Chanel told the style and e-commerce website. "It’s unfortunate that there is still a lot of politics involved in both the acting and modeling worlds. I do think we’ve come a long way, but things could still be a lot more diverse on the runway and in films.”
One ultra-diverse opportunity that Chanel was lucky enough to take part in was Beyoncé's "Yonce" video. The model says working with Bey has been one of her biggest accomplishments and praises the singer for casting her and fellow black supermodels Joan Smalls and Jourdan Dunn in the project.
"All three of us models are very successful in our careers, but because in the fashion industry ‘there’s only one black girl allowed’, they’ve made us compete to be that one girl," Chanel told The Edit. "Beyoncé allowed us to show the world that we don’t have to fight against each other. She gave us the chance to see that we are far more powerful together.”
Head over to Net-A-Porter to read Chanel's full interview and here's a look at a few photos from the feature.

==Industry apparel==
Products bras, panties, sleepwear, hosiery, women's clothing, fragrances and beauty products
Revenue $3.222 billion (FY 2006)
Parent Limited Brands

Victoria's Secret is an American retailer of women's wear, lingerie and beauty products. It is the largest segment of publicly-traded Limited Brands with sales surpassing $5 billion USD and an operating income of $1 billion in 2006. Victoria's Secret is known for its fashion shows and catalogues, which feature top fashion models.

==History==
Victoria's Secret was started in San Francisco, California, in 1977 by Stanford Graduate School of Business alumnus Roy Raymond, who felt embarrassed trying to purchase lingerie for his wife in a department store environment. He opened the first store at Stanford Shopping Center, and quickly followed it with a mail-order catalog and three other stores. The stores were meant to create a comfortable environment for men, with wood-paneled walls, Victorian details and helpful sales staff. Instead of racks of bras and panties in every size, there were single styles, paired together and mounted on the wall in frames. Men could browse for styles for women and sales staff would help estimate the appropriate size, pulling from inventory in the back. In 1982, after five years of operations, Roy Raymond sold the company to The Limited.

The Limited kept the personalized image of Victoria's Secret intact. Victoria's Secret was rapidly expanded into the U.S. malls throughout the 1980s. The company was able to vend a widened range of products, such as shoes, evening wear, and perfumes, with its mail catalog issued eight times annually.

By the early 1990s, Victoria's Secret had become the largest American lingerie retailer, topping one billion dollars.

On July 10, 2007, Limited Brands sold 75% of The Limited clothing chain to firm Sun Capital Partners to focus and boost sales growth on Victoria's Secret lingerie stores and Bath & Body Works units, which provided 72% of revenue in 2006 and almost all the firm's profit. There are 1,000 Victoria's Secret lingerie stores and 100 independent Victoria's Secret Beauty Stores in the US, mostly in shopping centers. It sells brassieres, panties, hosiery, cosmetics, sleepwear, and other products. Victoria's Secret mails more than 400 million of its catalogs per year. Under pressure from environmentalist groups, Victoria's Secret's parent firm and a conservation group have reached an agreement to make the lingerie retailer's catalog more environmentally friendly in 2006. The catalog will no longer be made of pulp supplied from any woodland caribou habitat range in Canada, unless it has been certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. The catalogs will also be made of 10 percent recycled paper from post-consumer waste.

Victoria's Secret is now attempting to build its image with a fairly conservative, middle-class shopper in mind, avoiding any connotations of sleaziness that lingerie might carry.

The company gained notoriety in the early 1990s after it began to use supermodels in its advertising and fashion shows. Throughout the past decade, it has turned down celebrity models and endorsements.

Victoria's Secret makes use of a rigorous customer service model, stressing upselling, frequent staff attention, and signing up customers for a store credit card that provides discounts for frequent shoppers in the way of coupons by mail and free merchandise.

Victoria's Secret Angels

Victoria's Secret Fashion Show


==List of Victoria's Secret Fashion Show models==
In 1995, Victoria's Secret held its first fashion show; the world press reported it as the "lingerie event of the century." In 1999, the VS company made broadcast history in simultaneously broadcasting a live fashion show online and at Times Square, drawing some 1.5 million viewers, after being advertised during the Super Bowl American football game.

In 2000, the show was held in Cannes, France, during the Cannes Film Festival to raise money for the Cinema Against AIDS charity; it raised $3.5 million.

In 2001, the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show made its broadcast television debut on ABC, drawing millions of viewers and middle-brow controversy; the Federal Communications Commission receives many complaints about each broadcast every time.

In 2004, instead of the annual fashion show, The Angels (Tyra Banks, Heidi Klum, Gisele Bündchen, Adriana Lima, and Alessandra Ambrosio) did an Angels Across America Tour, a grassroots campaign for the brand visiting four major cities, New York, Miami, Las Vegas and Los Angeles.

In 2005, the Rutgers University Drumline made a guest appearance for the show's finale. This was Tyra Banks' last runway appearance.

The 2007 show featured a performance by the Spice Girls and gained prominence as the first American TV debut of the band after their comeback. Kanye West was also scheduled to perform at the event, but cancelled his appearance due to his mother's death. Will.i.am was called to perform in his place.

The fashion show features mostly lingerie and a multi-million-dollar "Fantasy Bra." one model is chosen among the angels to wear the Fantasy Bra. It is first advertised in the Victoria's Secret Catalog and since 2001 it has been shown in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show. Heidi Klum is the only Victoria's Secret Angel who has worn three Fantasy Bras. Gisele Bündchen and Karolina Kurkova each have worn two Fantasy Bras. In 2006, Victoria's Secret's sub-brand Pink made its debut on the runway. The show has since evolved into a lavish event with elaborate costumed-lingerie, varying music, and set design according to the different themes running within the show. The show attracts hundreds of celebrities and entertainers, with special performers and/or acts every year. The giant angel wings worn by the models, as well as other wings of various forms and sizes such as butterfly, peacock, or devil wings, are Victoria's Secret's fashion trademark. The fashion show is also a meeting of today's supermodels, who are always posing in the middle, after the final walk.

In the past, most of the clothing exhibited was not for sale, but in 2005, the show featured the clothing for sale in the catalogue.
