Princess Charlene Goes Toe-To-Toe With A Mini 'Princess' In A Ball Gown

Princess Charlene Goes Toe-To-Toe With A Mini 'Princess' In A Ball Gown:

Wednesday night's Princess Grace Awards Gala honored one princess, the beloved Princess Grace of Monaco, with a tribute from another, Princess Charlene of Monaco. But there was a third little "princess" grabbing a bit of the spotlight, too.

Charlene was presented a bouquet of flowers from a young girl identified as Maya Eisenberg. Posing with the Monaco noble on the red carpet, Maya was decked out in her own impressive dress: a shiny pink number with voluminous tiers and floral embroidery on the bodice.

Lest she be out-dressed by a pre-teen, Princess Charlene turned it out in a dramatic dark green taffeta gown from Ralph Lauren's Fall 2013 collection featuring a high halter neckline. Oh, and a totally gracious smile when posing with Maya for photos. She is Her Serene Highness, after all.

Check out last night's photos. Got a pick for best-dressed?

Gwyneth Paltrow's Farrah Fawcett Tribute Ad Doesn't Look Much Like Farrah... Or Gwyneth

Gwyneth Paltrow's Farrah Fawcett Tribute Ad Doesn't Look Much Like Farrah... Or Gwyneth:

 We could recognize Gwyneth Paltrow's gorgeous signature look -- bronze skin, blonde hair, perfect white smile -- pretty much anywhere. But the actress appears slightly less like herself in her new ad for Max Factor.

To kick off the makeup brand's Modern Icon campaign, Gwyneth posed in a glam gold dress in an homage to Farrah Fawcett, the first of the five icons Max Factor will feature. But while Fawcett's signature look was her voluminous hair and lively glow, Gwyneth looks a little... flat, you might say. Taut, even. Dare we utter the word Photoshop?

That, or some exceptionally transformative makeup. It is a cosmetics ad, after all. Check it out -- do you sense foul airbrushing play?

The Tragic Story Behind Victoria's Secret

The Tragic Story Behind Victoria's Secret:

The Tragic Story Behind Victoria's Secret
The Tragic Story Behind Victoria's Secret


A Stanford MBA named Roy Raymond wants to buy his wife some lingerie but he's too embarrassed to shop for it at a department store. He comes up with an idea for a high-end place that doesn't make you feel like a pervert. He gets a $40,000 bank loan, borrows another $40,000 from his in-laws, opens a store, and calls it Victoria's Secret. Makes $500,000 his first year. He starts a catalog, opens three more stores, and after five years he sells the company to Leslie Wexner and the Limited for $4 million. Happy ending, right? Except two years later, the company's worth $500 million and Roy Raymond jumps off the Golden Gate Bridge. Poor guy just wanted to buy his wife a pair of thigh-highs.

—Sean Parker (Justin Timberlake) to Mark Zuckerberg (Jesse Eisenberg) in The Social Network (2010)

In this scene, Zuckerberg has just asked Parker why his girlfriend looks so familiar; turns out the woman on Parker’s arm is a Victoria’s Secret model. Parker, founder of Napster (and the first president of Facebook), is impressing upon young Zuckerberg that the true genius behind what he calls a “once-in-a-generation-holy-shit idea” isn’t necessarily the idea itself, but the insight, drive, and perseverance to see just how far the idea can go. There’s no better example to prove his point than the story of Raymond, Wexner, and Victoria’s Secret.

In the mid-1970s, Roy Raymond did indeed walk into a department store to buy his wife lingerie, only to find ugly floral-print nightgowns—made even uglier under harsh fluorescent lights—and saleswomen who made him feel like a deviant just for being there. Realizing that other male friends felt the same way, the 30-year-old saw an opportunity to create a market where none existed: A lingerie store designed to make men feel comfortable shopping there.

Raymond imagined a Victorian boudoir, replete with dark wood, oriental rugs, and silk drapery. He chose the name “Victoria” to evoke the propriety and respectability associated with the Victorian era; outwardly refined, Victoria’s “secrets” were hidden beneath. In 1977, with $80,000 of savings and loans from family, Raymond and his wife leased a space in a small shopping mall in Palo Alto, Calif., and Victoria’s Secret was born.

To understand how novel Raymond’s idea was, it helps to have a little context. In the 1950s and ’60s, underwear was all about practicality and durability. For most American women, sensual lingerie was reserved for the honeymoon trousseau or the anniversary night; Frederick’s of Hollywood was the granddaddy of the specialty lingerie retailers. When the women’s movement of the late 1960s and ’70s called for women to liberate themselves from the bondage of bras, the intimate apparel industry responded with new designs that they claimed would give women the natural look they desired without the embarrassment of a sagging bustline. But for the most part, underwear remained functional, not fun.

Victoria’s Secret changed all that, and in the Bay Area, its sales continued to boom—thanks in large part to its catalog, which reached customers across the country. Within five years, Raymond had opened three more stores in San Francisco. By 1982, the company had annual sales of more than $4 million—yet something in Raymond’s formula was not working. According to management experts Michael J. Silverstein and Neil Fiske’s book Trading Up, Victoria’s Secret was nearing bankruptcy.

Enter Leslie Wexner, the man who had ushered in the mass-market sportswear boom with a store he called The Limited. While still in his 20s, Wexner had recognized that women were forgoing dresses for separates and casual wear. So in 1963, he opened a store “limited” just to sportswear. Wexner’s foresight paid off. The Limited grew to 11 stores by 1970, and 188 by 1977, according to a Forbes profile published that year. Wexner, now 40, was worth $50 million.

By the early 1980s, Wexner was looking to branch out into new brands. While visiting one of his Limited outposts in San Francisco, he stumbled across Victoria’s Secret. “It was a small store, and it was Victorian—not English Victorian, but brothel Victorian with red velvet sofas,” Wexner told Newsweek in 2010. “But there was very sexy lingerie, and I hadn’t seen anything like it in the U.S.” (A quick review of early Victoria’s Secret catalogs—you can check out a couple here and here—supports Wexner’s observation; despite elegant bras, panties and slips, the models look uncomfortably like Susan Sarandon’s high-end prostitute in Pretty Baby.)

Wexner quickly saw what was wrong with the Victoria’s Secret business model: In focusing on a store and catalog that appealed to men, Raymond had failed to draw a large following among women. According to Trading Up, Wexner surmised that women were about as uncomfortable in Victoria’s Secret as Raymond had been in that flourescent-lit department store.

Nevertheless, Wexner saw the company’s potential, and in 1982, he bought the stores and the catalog for about $1 million (not $4 million, as was reported at the time). His first step, Silverstein and Fiske wrote, was to study European lingerie boutiques, whose female customers approached lingerie as an everyday essential. Wexner returned home convinced that if American women had access to the same kind of sexy, affordable lingerie as their European counterparts, they, too, would want to wear it every day. He also saw a gaping hole in the intimate apparel market—next to no products that filled the gap between the luxury brands and the Maidenforms and Cross Your Hearts. Wexner envisioned “a La Perla for the mass market.” Finally, a new shopping environment—one that was inviting to women and fulfilled an attainable fantasy of glamour and luxury—would help create greater demand.

Wexner ultimately decided to create for the company what Ralph Lauren mastered the decade before him: A British-inspired aspirational world that the American consumer would clamor to enter. Gone were the dark woods and deep reds of the original stores; now, gilded fixtures, floral prints, classical music, and old-timey perfume bottles filled the space. Lacy bras and panties hung neatly under warm-hued lights. Even a London home address—No. 10 Margaret Street—was invented, even though headquarters were in Columbus.* The catalog, which had become modern and racy, was softened to reflect the new image, with models who looked like they had just walked off the pages of Vogue or Glamour. New products like the Miracle Bra became top sellers.

In short, women were buying, while men continued to ogle the catalog. Wexner’s plan was working. By 1995, according to Trading Up, Victoria’s Secret had become a $1.9 billion company with 670 stores nationally. As they continued to refine and tweak the company image (they abandoned the English-boudoir theme around 2000), Victoria’s Secret became the most popular apparel brand in the world today, according to YouGov BrandIndex, with a net income of nearly $5 billion.

Sadly, as Wexner’s and Victoria’s Secret’s success grew, Roy Raymond, despite his keen instincts, saw his life fall apart. After selling the company to Wexner, Raymond stayed on as president of Victoria’s Secret for about another year before leaving to open My Child’s Destiny, a high-end children’s retail and catalog company based in San Francisco. But, according to a New York Times article at the time, a poor marketing strategy (focused too much on attracting only well-heeled parents) and an even poorer location (little walk-in traffic) forced them to file a Chapter 11 petition two years later in 1986. The Raymonds ended up divorcing, and in 1993, Roy Raymond jumped to his death from the Golden Gate Bridge, leaving behind two teenage children.

Roy Raymond’s genius was recognizing the need to remove shame from the process of buying unmentionables. But much like the failure of Friendster and the old MySpace as Facebook began to reign supreme, his story reads like a cautionary tale of how a brilliant opportunity can be seized and yet missed. Wexner, on the other hand, had both vision and skill. He imagined a world where there was no such thing as an unmentionable, and figured out a way to make it so. He made sexy underwear commonplace, and convinced us that investing in what’s underneath our clothes is as necessary as the clothes themselves. The world and its skivvies would never be the same.

Nanette Lepore Shares Her Journey

Walking into the Teen Vogue's Fashion U designers' lounge, I was met with the warm and energetic countenance that is Nanette Lepore. Clearly a creative in every sense of the word, you could feel the burst of ideas and fantastical visuals that would come from a mind such as hers. As we sat down to begin our interview, we chatted first about her recent trip to Dubai. She teamed up with Fashion Forward and was so amazed at the vibrancy of the fashion industry there. Clearly, being inspired by the non-traditional dress of the women in Dubai. As she explained what she saw it took me back to that scene in Sex in The City 2 where the women in a back room took off their traditional dress and underneath were amazing luxury pieces in every color and texture. Nanette's experience in Dubai clearly impacted her and dare I say may impact collections to come?

Hear what else Nanette had to say about her process of creating and her love for mentorship!

Rai Mensah: What motivates you on a day to day to create?
Nanette Lepore: There is always something that I want to cover that I just haven't yet. I spend a lot of time figuring out what I need. So, as a woman a lot of it comes from what I need and how I want to express myself. I like to dress in a fantasy mode, some days are really lacey and vintage other days I feel very modern and sharp. Also in watching my daughter, who is now 15, I get inspired. She's had a strong fashion sense since she was 10. I spent a lot of years just biting my tongue [about what she chose to wear], but I've never tried to influence her.

Rai Mensah: Do you listen to fashion critics?
Nanette Lepore: When you go through the process of a fashion show and you work really hard, putting yourself at the brink of exhaustion, it is really hurtful when critics say something mean or judgmental. [The interesting thing is that] over the years some of the shows where I've had the worst criticisms have actually not mattered because, if the consumer loves you they love you. So no matter what [critics] say there is still a following if you are true to yourself. I can't dwell on [the criticism]. I give myself like a day and half to feel sorry for myself and then I keep working.

Rai Mensah: Why did you decide to get involved with Teen Vogue's Fashion University?
Nanette Lepore: I love to mentor. I like to talk about my story because it is such a real story, I started off and really worked from nothing. A lot of what I did is accessible to people and I feel like its inspirational, like the idea that we started as a small shop in the East Village between a gas station and a soup kitchen where my rent was $500.

Rai Mensah: What is one of the biggest lessons you've learned thus far?
Nanette Lepore: I've learned so many different lessons. One is that whatever can go wrong will, Murphy's Law is real. When we've had these large production disasters I always had a sixth sense about it but ignored it. So [a lesson I've learned is to] listen to your intuition because when something feels like its going wrong it usually is. Also, always put your best product out there. The main thing for me is not the fashion shows, it's once you get into the stores making sure your best product there is absolutely as perfect as you can make it. Thats when you know whether you're a star or not, when your clothing leaves the rack into the dressing room and goes up to the cashier. Thats the most important part of being a designer, it's that follow through.

I am always inspired by those who are open to sharing their stories, their successes, their failures and the tools they've learned to keep going in this industry. Nanette, did an amazing job doing just that!

For the hunk who prefers not to freeze his butt off, the commander's mock turtleneck shirt is the way to go.

Rita Hayworth as "Gilda"

Finally, a reason to recycle your prom dress or bridesmaid gown. Just slip on a pair of long gloves, style your hair into sophisticated '40s waves and you're ready, darling.

Humphrey Bogart as Rick Blaine in "Casablanca"

Who says that standing out on Halloween means donning the scariest get-up? Fellas, you can be just as conspicuous in a fedora and trench coat.

Will Smith as Will in "The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air"

Your mom may not fancy you pairing your tuxedo jacket with a snapback hat, gold chain necklaces, a tribal print tank and sneakers, but we bet that won't stop you from being the life of the party.

Princess Madeleine's Elle Cover Is Absolutely Gorgeous (PHOTO)

Princess Madeleine's Elle Cover Is Absolutely Gorgeous (PHOTO):

Get yourself to a newsstand stat: Princess Madeleine's on the cover of Elle Sweden and she looks gorgeous.

The Swedish royal graces the magazine's November 2013 issue, donning a green coat and an ABBA-worthy feathered blowout. Frankly, we can't believe she had a moment to shoot the cover at all. Between her June wedding to financier Christopher O'Neill, her job in New York and her pregnancy, the 31-year-old has had a lot on her plate these days.

In the issue, Madeleine reportedly talks to Elle about her pregnancy, saying it happened "a little fast and very suddenly." And if the rumor mill is to be believed, she and O'Neill are expecting a baby girl (Prince George's future girlfriend, perhaps?). As of now, though, the sex of the future royal tot remains unconfirmed.

What we can confirm? Madeleine can work a fashion magazine cover like nobody's business. See the rest of the stunning shoot here.

Pamela Anderson Cuts Her Long Hair Into Platinum Pixie 'Do

Pamela Anderson Cuts Her Long Hair Into Platinum Pixie 'Do:

 For the first time in 20 years, Pamela Anderson has short hair, and it looks amazing on her.

Anderson has had the same long, platinum locks since 1992. So, it was a shock to see the 46-year-old bombshell step out in Los Angeles Wednesday (Oct. 30) with not just a haircut, but a super short pixie cut, notes Us Weekly.

The former "Baywatch" star was photographed with her ex-husband and rumored boyfriend, Rick Saloman, walking through a parking lot. Anderson looked demure in her new 'do, striped dress, white sweater, sunglasses and ballet flats.

She is the latest celeb to shed her tresses; earlier this week, Jennifer Hudson also debuted a super-short hairdo at BET's Black Girls Rock event. In August, Beyonce swapped her long locks for a pixie cut, but wound up adding extensions back on.

Anderson may have traded in her red swimsuit, but this chic look is nothing short of jaw-dropping!

Priyanka Chopra, The New Guess Girl, 'Honored' To Be Brand's First Indian Model

Priyanka Chopra, The New Guess Girl, 'Honored' To Be Brand's First Indian Model:

Say hello to the new Guess girl: Priyanka Chopra.

The Bollywood star and former Miss World has been tapped by the brand to front its Holiday 2013 campaign, making Chopra the first Indian Guess girl. "I'm like their first brown model," Chopra told Women's Wear Daily. "For a global fashion brand, for them to move their campaign into a global space, for me it's an honor."

The stunning black-and-white photos, shot by Bryan Adams, feature Chopra sporting Guess' signature teased hair, cat eyeliner and sexy clothes in a Mediterranean villa. Translation: The campaign is an instant classic, bringing to mind the ads of Claudia Schiffer and Anna Nicole Smith, Chopra's predecessors.

Chopra said she was hand-selected by Paul Marciano, Guess' president, after he met her and immediately dubbed her the new Sophia Loren. Since Marciano's last model of choice, Kate Upton, has become the poster child for glamorous bombshell beauty, we have no doubt that Chopra will be the name on everybody's lips come December when her Guess campaign breaks in fashion magazines.

"I'm not too American and I'm not too Indian, but I'm a global citizen," she says, "and that's what most people are today. And I don't want to have to change who I am to try and fit in or cater to a certain audience. "

Amen, sister. See Chopra's stunning ads for Guess below.

Candice Swanepoel's Elle UK Cover Proves She's A Name To Know (PHOTO)

Candice Swanepoel's Elle UK Cover Proves She's A Name To Know (PHOTO):

Get ready to practice your pronunciation, because the name on everybody's lips is about to be Victoria's Secret Angel Candice Swanepoel. The model has officially transcended the lingerie world, splashing into the mainstream with a cover for Elle UK.

Swanepoel goes high fashion for the December issue of the mag, modeling a metallic pink leather jacket by Saint Laurent, smokey eye makeup and bleached-out hair. The styling is certainly different than we've become accustomed to seeing the South African beauty sport -- namely, she's wearing actual clothes. (Plus, we suspect some over-zealous Photoshopping is to blame for why we didn't quite recognize her at first.)

This has been a monumental year for Swanepoel, as she's landed the coveted role of modeling the Fantasy Bra at the 2013 Victoria's Secret Fashion Show, not to mention she ranked 9th on Forbes' "World's Highest Paid Models" list. Throw in a major fashion glossy cover, and we'd say she's being positioned as the next Miranda Kerr, a former Angel who has become a global celebrity by expanding her repertoire past undies, bikinis and that iconic Fantasy Bra.

After all, Kerr has bowed out of the annual Victoria's Secret extravaganza this year, leaving Swanepoel to steal the show. Perhaps this Elle UK cover means Kerr is passing the torch -- er, bejeweled brassiere -- to Swanepoel once and for all.

Beyonce Photobombs Concert-Goer In The Best Possible Way

Beyonce Photobombs Concert-Goer In The Best Possible Way:

What can be better than seeing Beyonce live in concert in all her glittery glory? Capturing it in a candid, photobombed selfie, of course.

That said photo is making the rounds today, in which one lucky concert-goer clicked at just the right moment. We've traced it back to a 15-year-old dancer from Australia, who, according to answers she gave excited fans on her Tumblr blog, saw Bey last weekend at Rod Laver Arena in Melbourne Park.

In explaining the perfect moment, the lucky girl wrote: "i dont even know it was such a blur i just remember her bending down to me and my friend and i just turned for the photo and wowoowow it was the best moment ever like she posed its crazy i wasnt even expecting her to look at my phone or notice me in the crowd."

Indeed.

Sofia Vergara Wears Leather Pants For 'Modern Family' Event

Sofia Vergara Wears Leather Pants For 'Modern Family' Event:

Sofia Vergara turned heads Monday night in a pair of skintight leather pants when she stepped out for a "Modern Family" event.

Vergara looked gorgeous in the leather trousers, a black long-sleeved jacket and a pair of studded Valentino shoes. The 41-year-old was all smiles as she walked the red carpet wearing her hair in loose waves and a poppy red lip.

Oct. 28 marked the "Modern Family" Fan Appreciation Day at the Westwood Village Theatre. The event, held in Westwood, Calif., was hosted by USA Network; the night marked the kick-off of their collaboration with Feeding America to provide food for needy families this holiday season, notes Variety.

Also in attendance were Julie Bowen, Sarah Hyland and Ariel Winter, who looked far beyond her 15 years in a black and white ensemble.
