Karen Elson has partnered with Beck on a rendition of Fleetwood Mac's "Gold Dust Woman" as part of an upcoming tribute album to the legendary band, out Aug. 14.

Elson announced her involvement with the album, titled Just Tell Me That You Want Me: a Tribute to Fleetwood Mac, on Twitter Monday evening, saying that she's "very excited" about the track. It's one of 17 on the album, contributed by a variety of artists: MGMT covered "Future Games," Best Coast added its take on "Rhiannon," and Antony contributed a rendition of the classic song "Landslide." The Kills, for which Kate Moss's husband Jamie Hince is guitarist, covered "Dreams."

It's a fitting project for Elson — who was a founding member of The Citizens Band and released a solo album, The Ghost Who Walks in 2010 — because, really, she's been channeling the bohemian flair of Fleetwood Mac's Stevie Nicks for years. A peek at the best of those looks, here in the gallery.

For its July issue, W Magazine has given rising stars Karlie Kloss and Joan Smalls each their own covers, dubbing them both "the new face of fashion."

It's a high honor for both models, who were shot by Steven Meisel for the magazine. At 6'1", Kloss has become one of the most recognizable personalities in the industry, and she admits her height helps. "Every time I see Karl Lagerfeld, he's always, like, 'Karlie, have you stopped growing yet? Are you taller?'"

Smalls, whose mother is Puerto Rican and whose father is black, has taken on the responsibility of representing women of color in fashion. "I know I'm representing a group — black, Latin, whatever you want to put me with — and I want to show that they are beautiful the way they are. I think that's really important for our youth to see," she says.

Take a look at what makes each cover girl in the gallery.

"I've always felt, in some ways, like an outsider. But that is the fashion industry," Crystal Renn has said. While it may be hard to believe that someone who has been featured in editorials for nearly every magazine under the sun, shot campaigns for everyone from Chanel to H&M, and counts the likes of Zac Posen and Coco Rocha as close friends could ever feel anything other than one of the gang, it's precisely that down-to-earth attitude that makes Renn so appealing. "I'd love to see [the fashion industry] open their eyes to the variety of women. That variety is what's beautiful," Renn — who has dealt her own much-publicized body transformations and is considered the world's most successful plus-sized model ever — has said. So, in honor of her 26th birthday, here are 26 snaps of Renn doing what Renn does best: looking glam and being herself.

Supermodel Doetzen Kroes is known for her amazing figure, but the Victoria's Secret Angel admits to having a major weakness when it comes to a certain food. "French fries," Kroes told us at last night's CFDA Awards. "I really like the ones at Shake Shack. That's the thing with french fries, and potato chips too. You have one, and you can't stop. But I always try not to eat the whole bucket that they give you, because I think that's the trick. Everything in moderation; you can't force yourself to eat none of the good stuff. I wouldn't be a happy person if I only ate salads. I love salads — but salads with fries."

So how does the 27-year-old Dutch stunner stay in such great shape? Well, being a mother certainly seems to help. "I have a son so I'm always running after him," Kroes explained. "He's started walking and so that's lots of work. And my priority is really towards him, so I cook for him and then I just munch a little bit and I don't sit down to eat until later."

Of course, the supermodel also admits to a very strenuous exercise routine: "I box, I jump rope, and I do lots of leg work, you know, to keep the butt up. So, it's lots of things. I have an amazing trainer and I'm really fortunate to have that, you know? But it's also my job. You can't compare my life to somebody who goes to work everyday; I have to look this way."

A look back at some of Kroes's most recent red-carpet looks — including her breathtaking Sophie Theallet look from last night's CFDA Awards — in the slideshow.

Erin Heatherton donned a cheerleader's uniform for her upcoming role in Grown Ups 2 — her very first turn on the big screen.

The Victoria's Secret Angel filmed a scene in which she and actor Andy Samberg work at a car wash in Barnstable, MA, earlier this week. Heatherton's role in the film — which is a sequel to the 2010 movie Grown Ups — hasn't been stated explicitly, but it seems she certainly had fun on the set. She tweeted to Adam Sandler's production company, Happy Madison, which is backing the film, "had a blast, if you ever need a sponge bath, you know who to call."

Heatherton isn't the only model of late who's breaking into the movies. Gemma Ward will appear in this Winter's The Great Gatsby and Agyness Deyn recently landed a role in the upcoming film Sunset Song.

For now, take a look at Heatherton filming her first movie in the gallery.
