fashion editorials

It's the end of an era: David Beckham has announced that he will retire from soccer at the end of this season. While he may have made a name for himself (taking his shirt off) on the field as one of the sports' most iconic athletes, he has also become famous for one other thing: his sizzling underwear ads. Judging from his iconic spreads for Emporio Armani in 2009 and his most recent campaign for his line of bodywear for H&M, we can only hope this job is one that the sexy footballer won't soon retire from.

Today is Kate Hudson's 34th birthday, and we're celebrating by taking a look at her sexiest editorials over the years. Kate won our hearts in films like Almost Famous and How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days, but she's also become quite the fashion darling — her free-spirited, boho-cool style has designers like Calvin Klein, Versace, and Roberto Cavalli clamoring to dress her on the red carpet. Lest we forget, she just did a doubleheader in a jaw-dropping Ann Taylor gown on Wednesday and a beautiful Reem Acra number at last night's Tiffany & Co. Blue Book Ball. Happy birthday, Kate!

We've practically grown up with Emma Watson. From her young start as Harry Potter's BFF and magical muggle Hermione to her turn as Burberry's campaign stunner to skimpy outfits and faux tattoos on the set of The Bling Ring, this beautiful Brit has accomplished a lot in very little time. She turns 23 today, and to fete her impressively stylish career thus far, we've rounded up her most gorgeous editorials yet.

Today is Drew Barrymore's 38th birthday! Drew entered our lives as Gertie in 1982's E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial and has since made a name for herself as one of the biggest actresses in Hollywood — she's starred in romantic comedies like The Wedding Singer, Charlie's Angels, and Never Been Kissed and even won a Golden Globe award for her role in 2009's Grey Gardens. After hitting some hard times as a teenager, Drew picked herself back up, and is now well known for her positive outlook, infectious smile, and love of nature. Over the years, she's posed for magazines like Elle, W, and Harper's Bazaar and remains a constant source of inspiration for her bold style choices and evolving hair and makeup looks.

Jennifer Aniston turns 44 today (and honestly, we want whatever she's having because she doesn't look a day over 30). Even though she's best known for her days as fashion-obsessed Rachel Green on Friends, Jen has since made her name in the film world and has also been attached to some of the hottest guys in Hollywood. She always turns heads on the red carpet, opting for fitted silhouettes, plunging v-necks, and super-short hemlines — the girl has never met a minidress she didn't like — and also drops jaws in front of the camera, easily transforming from America's sweetheart to smoldering sexpot. In honor of Jen's big day, we've rounded up 50 of her hottest, most stunning editorials. Click through to see them all now.
