I don’t care what anyone says, I love Miley. I think she has really come into her own and become a bold, brave young woman and I for one cannot wait to hear what she has been working tirelessly in the studio on. Here she is on ELLE UK, making this her first cover for a major UK publication. However, with that said I am not a huge fan of it. I do love the styling but the armpits are way to much of a focal point for my taste.
For the 10 page spread shot at MILK Studios in Hollywood Miley is decked out in looks from Emilio Pucci, Fendi, Saint Laurent and Simone Rocha and more all while rocking her signature mohawk.
In the article Miley finally dishes on where her relationship stands with fiance Liam Hemsworth:
“We have a house together and dogs, it just seems right to be wearing this ring and to be committed. But we keep our relationship low-key and don’t talk about it anymore.”
“We were too nice to the world and gave them too much insight — into my life and my puppies and my house -– and I just don’t feel they get that privilege any more. Like on my Twitter, I’m much more … not conservative, but you don’t see a picture of my dogs. You don’t get that personal stuff anymore.”

For their April issue, on newsstands now, Elle UK has nabbed Barbadian beauty Rihanna to grace their cover and give us some insight into her much talked about private life.
For the dual covers RiRi wore black River Island skirts; one with a Louis Vuitton top featuring their ever popular chequered print and the other with a Prada stole over a Louis Vuitton striped bra. In the inside editorial made up of simple studio images, Rihanna dons monochromatic looks comprised of garments from the likes of Maison Martin Margiela, Prada, Louis Vuitton and Givenchy and more.
In the accompanying article RiRi discusses her gun tattoo, Instagram, her new collection with River Island and her now infamous relationship with boyfriend Chris Brown:
On why she got her gun tattoo and telling the truth:
“Everybody wanted to know what was happening in my life. Is she a drug addict? No. Is she an alcoholic? No. Is she a victim? No. That’s when I got the gun. It was a symbol of strength. I’ll never be a victim. That’s why I’m posting pictures of myself smoking pot, to tell the truth about myself. I’ve got so much to think about, why bring all this extra s*** by being dishonest?”
On loving posting pictures of herself and her life on Instagram:
“Well I instagram everything about my life, whether it’s smoking pot, in a strip club, reading a Bible verse – how crazy, I know! – or hanging out with my best friend, who happens to be Chris.”
On her mum disapproving of her naked pictures on Instagram:
“I’m not afraid of any person in this world but her. I’m terrified of her! She called me two days ago and reeled me in about two naked pictures Melissa [her best friend] put up on Instagram – a sneak-peek from a photo book she’s making about me. My mom, she went crazy on me. I was like embarrassed. I felt like I got my ass whupped in front of my class in school! She said, ‘This was like a private moment and you’re just parading this around.” She humbled the f*** out of me.”
On her love of high street fashion and her new collection for River Island:
“High-street shops pay more attention to the kids on the street than to the runways, so in a way I like to mix both. I love a high-end bag or jacket with a simple dress. I just thought, I’m going to make something for everybody – every personality, every body type.”
On wanting a great friendship with Chris Brown above all else:
“…right now that’s just what we want, a great friendship that’s unbreakable. Now that we’re adults we can do this right. We got a fresh start and I’m thankful for that.”
On Chris Brown being the person she loves:
“Stay [new single] is a story about having love that close and wanting it to last forever. You don’t have that feeling with everybody so when you have it you don’t want to let go of it. I would definitely say that he [Chris Brown] is the one I have that kind of relationship with.”

- Stylist: Anne-Marie Curtis
ScarJo landed the cover of ELLE UK this month and manages to bring her sexy ‘A’ game back for the cover in which she dons a Victoria Beckham Spring 2013 dress and Manolo Blahnik for Victoria Beckham peep-toe booties
The editorial, shot against only a simple studio backdrop at MILK Studios in NYC , showcases the carefree, tousle haired bombshell in Spring 2013 pieces from the likes of Tom Ford, Jonathan Saunders and Burberry Prorsum. I definitely like the under styled, simple looks that were pulled together which enabled Scarlett’s beauty to be the main focus.
In the accompanying article Scarlett dishes on her former marriage to Ryan Reynolds, kids and her sex symbol status:
On her former marriage to Ryan Reynolds:
“I got married when I was young and it was incredibly romantic and I liked being married, actually. But it is different. It’s hard to put into words. To me, being in a functioning relationship doesn’t mean you have to be married… I never think about marriage. Is that weird? The only time I ever think about it is when people ask me, ‘Would I get married again?’”
On having kids:
“It’s really not important to me. It has no relevance to me right now. I’m not having kids anytime soon, I’m in a nice relationship, I’m working a lot, and, like I said, it’s not important to me.”
On her sex symbol status:
“I think any woman who is curvy and wears a gown to an event is, like, super sexualized. I mean, at the time I was 18, 19. I was young. I’ve always been curvy. It runs in the family. Throw on an evening frock and it’s like all of a sudden you have boobs and everyone is like: ‘bombshell!’ Instantly it was: ‘The new Marilyn [Monroe].’”

I have a major girl crush on Barbara so I obviously could not resist these stunning studio images of the hungarian beauty in which she dons garments from the likes of Dior, Ralph Lauren, Dolce & Gabbana, Paul Smith and more.
- Elle UK
- March 2013
- Model: Victoria Beckham
- Photographer: Carter Smith
Elle UK has gone through a redesign and I am still unsure as to how I feel about it. The first cover produced with this ‘new look’ seems to have taken some graphic queues from the 90’s, with that said I am interested to see what the next few covers from the publication look like.
On the cover she dons Burberry Prorsum and although I love her wispy light locks I am not sure how I feel about the cover. I mean, what is going on with that jacket? Is it giving the illusion that she has 3 arms or is that just me?
In the seductive spread she wears her own designs alongside Lanvin, Hussein Chalayan, Miu Miu and Manolo Blahnik, while in the accompanying article she discusses her work ethic, running her business, a new chapter in her family, the fashion world and more.
On having a strong work ethic:
“It was never my intention to prove anybody wrong. I wanted to prove to myself that I could do it. I don’t have to work, I need to work. All these people [her fellow fashion designers], they’ve not just been given anything. They’ve worked hard. And I’ve never been given anything either. But I have a good work ethic; David has an incredible work ethic. I want my kids to have a good work ethic. I believe you can achieve anything if you work hard enough to get it.”
On why she feels a sense of belonging in the fashion world:
“When I was on stage with the Spice Girls, I thought people were there to see the other four and not me. And when I go out with David and people take pictures I think, “They’re here to take David’s picture.”
On running a business:
“You’ve got to trust people. And because I am a control freak, sometimes that’s difficult for me, because I want to micro-manage absolutely everything. I can’t hand over. But I’m trying to do that more. It’s hard because I have such a specific vision.”
on 2013 being a new chapter in the Beckham family’s lives:
“Now David has finished playing for LA Galaxy and we are starting a new chapter in our lives; as a family we are all very excited about what lies ahead for 2013.”
On being handed a plate of yorkshire puddings to take home to her children:
“The kids are going to LOVE me when I walk in with these. You know what they say to me, because I’m not the best cook, although I try really hard? They always say to me, “Mummy, we know that the main ingredient in what you make is love.”’

- September 2012
- Model: Rosie Huntington-Whiteley
- Photographer: David Vasiljevic
- Stylist: Anne-Marie Curtis
Rosie is once again gracing the cover of ELLE UK, this time in Dolce & Gabbana for the coveted September issue. I adore her understated makeup and how simple her long hair has been left. The hair and makeup paired with the simple studio backdrop leave the images focusing on the clothes and Rosie’s natural beauty. However, as stunning as she looks I wish that they would have produced something a little more exciting for such an important issue.
In the accompanying interview with 25 year old former Victoria’s Secret model and Transformers actress she talks beau Jason Statham, struggling with her career and where she is today:
On her desire to have a family with her actor beau Jason Statham:
“I always see myself working, but definitely being a mum will be a big part of me. Look, I think my career is very self-indulgent. It’s all about me. I’m not a doctor, I’m not looking after people, I’m not saving children. I’m in the entertainment business. I’m a model. I’m an actress. So it is very self-involved. I think there is naturally a point where you think, ‘I don’t care about myself as number one any more.’ I want to care about other things.”
On her struggles while trying to launch her career:
“I wasn’t quite tall enough either and I hated it to be honest. There was no individuality, no opportunity to be individuals. I think that people forget you’re human and you just become an object. [In New York] I was constantly reminded that I wasn’t right wherever I went and that was difficult because I’d come from a place where it didn’t matter. For any young girl to be told they’re not good enough, every day, wherever they go…”
On how her struggles shaped who she is today:
“I don’t know, I just had this thing, that this was where I was going, this was the opportunity that life had presented me with. This was my destiny and I wasn’t going to just pack it all in because these people gave me a hard time - and that’s still my attitude now.”

I am often not very fond of the way Michelle is styled in magazine’s but thankfully Elle UK has fixed that image in my eyes with these wonderfully whimsical covers.
