Vanessa Paradis to front Miu Miu plus Lindsay's new job
Vanessa Paradis will be the new face of Miu Miu for autumn/winter 08 replacing the current poster girl for the brand, Kirsten Dunst.
There are no further details regarding the campaign, other than it is to be shot by iconic fashion photographers Mert and Marcus so we're expecting nothing short of amazing. Vanessa has previously starred in campaigns for Chanel.
Rumour has it that as well as signing up Mrs Johnny Depp for Miu Miu, parent label Prada has also tapped super Linda Evangelista as the face of Prada autumn/winter 08.
In related news, Lindsay Lohan, not content with fronting her own collection of leggings (click now to read all about it) has been signed up to a five year deal with fashion brand Fornarina. The Italian label produces everything from bags to beauty products to denim and the first pics of Lindsay will appear for spring/summer 09, ahead of flagship store openings in London, Paris and New York. It's hoped that Lindsay's world wide fame will help the brand go global. Watch this space.

New nail shade alert!
New summer nail polish alert! It's that time of the year when, apart from getting a great tan, we just want to try out as many nail shades as possible.
Nubar is a range of nail polishes which is brand new in the UK. It has been available stateside for a while and has already attracted quite a gang of celebrity fans - and what's good enough for the likes of Mischa, Lindsay and Hayden is good enough for us!
Celebrity manicurist to the stars Jenna Hipp created the range to keep her famous client list in the most fashionable and on-trend colours. The range includes an impressive selection of shades (180 to be precise) - L-Lo swears by their Hot Pink, Eva Longoria loves Hot Yellow and the elleuk.com team have been fighting over the Hot Red shade for the last week, which is by the way a favourite of Scarlett, Jessica Alba and Mischa Barton, so we are definitely in fashionable company!
Not only are the shades to-die-for, the nail varnish is non-toxic containing no Formaldehyde, Toluene or Phthalate (DBP) which are not just bad for you, but bad for the environment too, making them perfect for the more eco-concious among you.
Nubar nail lacquer, £8 is exclusive to Selfridges nationwide.

The secret of Jen's new look?
Jennifer Aniston has not only been showing off her hot new tomboy, John Mayer (who famously dated Jessica Simpson and Cameron Diaz), but she has a hot new toned body to match.
Ok, so Jen has always had an enviable figure (all you have to do is catch Friends on E4 for the proof), but these days we want Jen's figure even more! More lean and toned than ever, Jennifer has been hitting the gym in Miami where she has just finished filming her new flick Marley and Me, but she has also been using Pomegranate Power. Packed full of anti-oxidents, Pomegranate Power is a supplement which claims to work by detoxing your body to get a more contoured shape by reducing cellulite and boosting your metabolic rate, which is possibly why Jen's exercise regime seems to be working even harder for her recently.
The £11.99 capsules also promise to replace the need for face serums, giving you a glowing complexion. And we thought it was her new relationship that had given her a rosy glow!
Pomegranate Power, £11.99 for 60 capsules, available from Superdrug stores nationwide.

Sex and the City: The World Premiere
Last night London played host to the world premier of Sex and the City The Movie and crowds swarmed central London's Leicester Square to catch a glimpse of the the show's stars.
As the hordes chanted 'we want Sarah', Sarah Jessica Parker (Carrie), Kim Cattrall (Samantha), Cynthia Nixon (Miranda) and Kristin Davis (Charlotte) made their way along the red carpet to greet fans, who had been waiting all day to see the stars of the film - and what they were wearing!
'Clothes became an integral part of the show' Parker said last night, and the girls didn't disappoint. SJP wore British designer Alexander McQueen topped off with a spectacular Philip Treacy hat, while Kim Cattrall (actually born in Liverpool) also went British and wore a headline grabbing red Vivienne Westwood number.
Cynthia Nixon chose a Calvin Klein dress with a neckline that plunged down to her waist and Bulgari jewels while Kristin Davis chose a pink vintage dress, channeling her alter ego Charlotte to perfection.
There had been some negativity within the film industry that the film, so closely associated with New York city, had it's premiere here in the U.K. The reason? According to SJP, 'we're kicking off the adventure here and then get to bring it home to America. [The New York premiere] will be the exclaimation point on this wonderful adventure.'
