Mother's Day is on Sunday, and Blake Lively will be packing her bags to visit her mother. "If I don't fly home for Mother's Day, I'm in big trouble," the actress says in the latest video released by Gucci Première ($105), which Blake is the face of. Of all of the Mother's Day gifts she's ever given her mother, there is one that stands out among all the rest. Watch the video to see what it is.
Rosie Huntington-Whiteley opted for a much darker look this evening, wearing a Gucci gown featuring a sheer black-and-gold tulle top and satin skirt. To add to the high shine, the model accessorized with a lizard jeweled clutch, beautiful drop earrings, and a diamond gold statement ring. Are you loving her skin-revealing brand of glam?
She didn't go punk, per se, but Blake Lively did deliver some serious glamour on tonight's Met Gala red carpet. The actress — and face of Gucci Première — had a bombshell moment in a curve-conscious, strapless Gucci confection, adorned with silver and matte black feather motif embroideries. She added to the drama with a pair of fringed earrings, which she showcased with swept-back hair. Are you a fan of Blake's look tonight?
"When I was a child, I saw myself becoming a mother with a beautiful family," says Gucci creative director Frida Giannini in the trailer for James Franco's new documentary, The Director.
"When I was a child, I saw myself becoming a mother with a beautiful family," says Gucci creative director Frida Giannini in the trailer for James Franco's new documentary, The Director. "I never imagined a life like this."
Perhaps another thing she never imagined was a camera crew following her around to create as intimate a documentary as this one, which Franco debuted late last week at the Tribeca Film Festival. Over the course of 18 months, cameras followed Giannini from collection fittings to model castings to create a vivid portrait of her work and her place in Gucci's rich history. And in the trailer, she admits that her public life has taken some getting used to to.
"At the beginning, of course, I felt this pressure because I prefer to work behind the scenes," she says. "I prefer to work with my team in my office with the fabrics and the colors."
A look at Giannini — in the office and in her world — in the video below.

Talk about perfect timing. Less than three weeks after taking her bow at Gucci's Fall 2013 show, Frida Giannini has given birth to a girl.
Giannini and her partner, Gucci CEO Patrizio di Marco, delivered their new daughter on March 2 and named her Greta. A spokesman from the brand toldVogue UK, "Both mother and baby are doing well."
Giannini and di Marco announced they were expecting a child last November, but the excitement of the new addition hasn't slowed down the designer's schedule. She's expected to go on maternity leave until it's time to work on her upcoming menswear collection, which will be presented in June.
Gucci's woman for Fall 2013 is strong, powerful, confident — and a little dangerous to boot. The brand's pregnant creative director Frida Giannini took ladylike shapes and subverted them with hard-edged, forthrightly sexy materials and styling. This offering had no shortage of pieces cut from patent or python, but a simple suit in plain black leather, nipped in at the waist, made perhaps one of the strongest statements of the show. Elsewhere, scaled-up houndstooth prints made for an interesting use of pattern, while sheer panels and plunging necklines exposed daring amounts of skin. The evening gowns, most of them dark, were accented with attention-getting swirls of feathers and fringe. Altogether, it's a look that requires discipline and serious backbone — but it's nothing the Gucci woman can't handle.
