Leonardo DiCaprio Gets Artsy Before His Big Auction

Leonardo DiCaprio stepped out for the Brant Foundation Art Study Center's Andy Warhol showing on Sunday in Greenwich, CT.

Leonardo DiCaprio stepped out for the Brant Foundation Art Study Center's Andy Warhol showing on Sunday in Greenwich, CT. The event, which featured several of the artist's greats hits such as "Flowers" and "The Last Supper," was also attended by Owen Wilson, Stephanie Seymour, and Sharon and Aimee Osbourne. While Leo made a quick entrance into the center, he has been a red carpet fixture over the previous weeks for Great Gatsby promotions. His much-anticipated film was released Friday but could not quite top the box office over the weekend, coming in No. 2 to still-reigning Iron Man 3.

Leonardo, though, has already switched gears and is utilizing the art world for his more charitable endeavors. The actor and his environmental foundation joined forces with Christie's for a charity auction in NYC today to benefit environmental causes. The event is called The 11th Hour Auction, and Leonardo's foundation hopes to raise over $18 million for causes such as wildlife and endangered-species protection. Thirty-three pieces from top artists including Banksy, Andreas Gursky, Bharti Kher, and others will be at the bidding stake, while Leonardo himself donated his "Ocean V" by Andreas to the auction.

Stephanie Seymour Mixes Bikinis and Family Time in St. Barts

Stephanie Seymour was back in her bikini while hanging out with her family in St. Barts yesterday.

Stephanie Seymour was back in her bikini while hanging out with her family in St. Barts yesterday. First, Stephanie wore yellow printed robe as she doted on daughter Lily at a local beach. Later, Stephanie shed her robe in favor of a purple and blue bikini while lounging near a pool with her other kids.

This isn't the first time that Stephanie wore a swimsuit during her vacation to the island. Last week, Stephanie flaunted her bikini body in three separate suits, including a knitted monokini, while enjoying St. Barts with her family. The Seymour-Brants are among the many celebrities escaping to the Caribbean during these colder months. Rachel Zoe, Olivia Palermo, and Ellen DeGeneres also chose St. Barts as their Winter vacation destination over the holidays.

Stephanie Seymour showed off multiple bikinis during her recent St. Barts getaway. On Friday she rocked a pink look and later changed into a crocheted one-piece, and on Saturday she hit the beach in a dark string bikini and a printed cover-up. Stephanie's kids Peter, Harry, and Lily were also part of the fun, and the group lounged together on their deck, splashed in the waves, and soaked up the sun. The family's Caribbean vacation is an annual Christmas event, and they aren't the only stars who escaped during the holidays. Rachel Zoe, Jennifer Aniston, and Ellen DeGeneres also traveled to warmer climates to celebrate the season. It's the last chance for bikini fun in 2012, so make sure to check out all the hottest bikini pictures of the year!

The supermodel and mother was spotted relaxing with her sons, Harry Brant and Peter Brant II, and her daughter, Lily, by the beach. Stephanie showed off her fit form in a tankini and helped Lily towel off after they took a dip together.

St. Barts is a favorite destination for the Seymour-Brants, who have traveled there over the holidays in previous years, and many other celebrities. Earlier this week, we spotted Alessandra Ambrosio in a bikini as she lounged by the shore. Check out Alessandra, and many more stars, in our roundup of the best celebrity bikini pictures of 2012!

Everyone needs someone to look up to, so for the role-models-themed Fall 2012 issue of i-D Magazine, Daniele Duella and Iango Henzi photographed a litany of the industry's boldface names for a series of beautiful covers.

Gisele Bundchen is captured in black and white, surrounded by wavy tendrils of her own hair. Isabeli Fontana, made up like a classic '40s femme fatale, makes a neck brace look like the chicest, easiest-to-wear accessory there is, and Karen Elson's fiery hair is pushed into an extremely experimental shape.

A look at the rest of the models' hair — styled into tonsorial perfection by Luigi Murenu — here in the gallery.

The Many Adventures of Harry and Peter Brant II

Fashion's latest obsession isn't a shoe or a handbag or even a designer scandal: it's two teenage brothers by the names of Harry and Peter Brant II, the youngest sons of supermodel Stephanie Seymour and billionaire businessman Peter Brant.

Fashion's latest obsession isn't a shoe or a handbag or even a designer scandal: it's two teenage brothers by the names of Harry and Peter Brant II, the youngest sons of supermodel Stephanie Seymour and billionaire businessman Peter Brant. The boys (15 and 18, respectively) are also the subject of a profile in the September 2012 issue of Vanity Fair, which examines why the fashion and art worlds are so taken with them. The unabashed way in which they share the details of their fabulous lives — in both interviews and through their joint Twitter account, @HarryPeterBrant — might have something to do with it. See a few snippets from their profile below.

On private islands and supermodels: "We stayed at an island with Naomi [Campbell] not too long ago. It was like a private island," said Peter. "We were all, like, on one of those little rafts in the bay. We were, like, lying around talking, and the rope that connected the raft to the beach got broken off. . . . And we just started drifting, but we didn't notice. And then one of us got up to get water or something from, like, a cooler, and we were, like, 'Where are we?' We had drifted way out into the ocean. We all started freaking out and, like, waving our arms."

On disappointment on not getting into the Met Gala: "I had arranged for the baby panther and everything," Peter says. "What could be better than diamonds and exotic baby animals?"

"You're nobody until PETA either loves you or hates you," says Harry.

On their art-collecting, fashion-loving parents: "There's just no way around it," Harry says. "We wake up and see beauty everywhere. Both my parents bring such a unique element to it. They've both devoted their lives to beauty."

"We have lengthy dinner conversations," Harry adds. "It can be about anything — whether we went to a show, or an auction, or an option sale. It can be about gardening or fashion or magazines."

"We're, like, a very aesthetic family," says Peter.

Stephanie Seymour Fashion Editorials and Campaign Images

She was one of the original '90s mega models, one of the first Victoria's Secret Angels, and one-half of one of the most iconic rocker-model relationships of all time — and at 44, she's still turning heads. In 2009, Stephanie Seymour — mother of four and coverer of over 300 magazines — was tapped for Valentino's Spring ad campaign, and as recently as March of this year, Seymour starred in a very awe-inducing, skin-exposing editorial for V magazine. "I don't have the perfect Barbie-doll face, but I did get famous for this body," Seymour told Playboy when she posed for the men's glossy back in 1993. And though it may be true that her body helped to make her famous, that's not all; Seymour is one of the few Sports Illustrated swimsuit cover models to have also had a crazy successful fashion career. "She combines a perfect body with a dynamite brain and a heart that's always in the right place," legendary photographer Richard Avedon has said.

In honor of our favorite St. Barts-frolicking, Brant brother-mothering, "November Rain"-starring supermodel's July 23 birthday, a look back at some of the most gorgeous Stephanie Seymour images ever. (Warning: some of these images are NSFW.)

Stephanie Seymour Sports Another Sexy Swimsuit in St. Barts

Stephanie Seymour showed off her supermodel figure on the beach in St. Barts yesterday.

Stephanie Seymour showed off her supermodel figure on the beach in St. Barts yesterday. She's there on her annual holiday vacation with family, including on-again husband Peter Brant, and their kids. Stephanie raised a few eyebrows during last year's trip, when the bikini-clad model kissed and cuddled with her 17-year-old son Peter Jr. on the beach, though they were quick to shoot down any detractors, saying that they are simply very close. Later in the year, Stephanie said that she had been feeling insecure over a 10-lb. weight gain, so played up the affection with Peter Jr. to detract attention from that. Since then, Stephanie says she's been working out and was looking fantastic as she enjoyed the tropical weather with friends.
