Liya Kebede Named L'Oréal's Newest Ambassador

Jaime Richards — Tue, 21 Jun 2011 10:20:13 PDT

Model, actress, and philanthropist Liya Kebede has just been announced as L'Oréal's latest global brand ambassador, joining stars like Freida Pinto, Gwen Stefani, and Jennifer Lopez among the beauty brand's spokeswomen. Liya has served as a goodwill ambassador for the World Health Organization and has also founded the Liya Kebede Foundation, a group that works to reduce maternal and child mortality rates in her home country of Ethiopia. Back in 2003, Liya was the first black model to sign on with Estée Lauder cosmetics. She'll undoubtedly make an excellent addition to the L'Oréal family.

Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen Couple Up For a Big Apple Screening

Allie Merriam — Wed, 18 May 2011 12:00:45 PDT

Rachel McAdams and her Midnight in Paris costars wrapped up their visit to the Cannes Film Festival and headed back to NYC, where they attended a Cinema Society-sponsored screening of the upcoming Woody Allen comedy at the Soho Grand. Woody was there to pose for photos with Rachel, as was her real-life leading man Michael Sheen. Many of their other cast members were in France, but it seems Owen Wilson, Adrien Brody, and Léa Seydoux sat out the latest press event. Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen, along with Sofia Coppola and Rachel Roy, did come out to see the movie. Rachel, though, was happy to smile for photographers in a long, white Louis Vuitton gown, but she changed into a black jumpsuit for the afterparty also held in the hotel. Rachel McAdams and Michael Sheen were among the cutest couples at Cannes while promoting their own project and checking out the debut of Sleeping Beauty. Their travels on behalf of the big-screen endeavor will wrap up when it arrives in theaters Friday, but hopefully there's lots more of Rachel and Michael's adorable PDA to come.

Lacoste Revamps Its Look With the "Unconventional Chic"

Hannah Weil — Tue, 28 Dec 2010 13:06:50 PST

In an effort to revamp its image, Lacoste is launching a new 2011 ad campaign featuring Liya Kebede and Anja Rubik, among others, topping their eveningwear with the label's iconic polo. As Lacoste's Chief Executive Officer Christophe Chenut explained, the new ads are part of the company's attempt to embody the brand's statement: "We're showing that you can be chic in a different way, not just when you are dressed up for a party or for the office." Sure, they've got some hot models working the look, but I want to know, does this "different" kind of chic speak to you?

Awesome Americana: Michael Kors

FabSugar — Fri, 30 Apr 2010 07:50:22 PDT

Michael Kors will always have a special place in my heart. The first New York Fashion Week show I ever attended was Michael's Spring '00 "Palm Bitch" show. The clothes were a sherbet rainbow of luxury and Gisele was on the brink of being the next big thing. Throughout the years, Estonian model Carmen Kass has embodied the jetsetting American sportswear aesthetic that is Kors. Cashmere knits, decadent furs, simple sheaths, aviator sunglasses, glorious gowns, the list goes on. But the casual luxe attitude is always there. Michael became a household name mid-2000s, bringing his fine taste to the masses with his lower-priced Michael Michael Kors and serving as a judge on Project Runway. Adored by celebrities, models, and fellow designers, Kors is undeniably awesome. Carry on for a thorough Kors review . . .

This Week's Fab Faves

FabSugar — Fri, 13 Nov 2009 16:00:22 PST

Let's talk pantyhose for a sec. I wore black sheer hose quite a bit last Winter - sometimes opaque tights felt too conservative. I know it's very Working Girl, but it's a sexier alternative to tights. Case in point: Liya Kebede in a satin Stella McCartney Resort dress and sheer hose. The whisper light hosiery allows her glowing skin to shine, and they look adorable with her dainty sandals. Holiday dressing lesson learned. Click through for more style lessons!

Battle of the Fall Ad Lineup: DKNY vs. Jones New York

FabSugar — Tue, 06 Oct 2009 09:00:22 PDT

Many models are forming lineups these days - luckily, not for the police, but rather for Fall's hottest ad campaigns. I've been noticing many lineup-style ads lately, and I quite like them because they cut out the frills and bring us face to face with the matter at hand: the creations. That, and the industry's most gorgeous models. DKNY's Fall '09 lineup - starring Bette Franken, Behati Prinsloo, Daiane Conterato, Anna Gushina, and more - is structured, with the girls standing sturdy, shoulder to shoulder. Jones New York's lineup with Anja Rubik, Caroline Trentini, Isabeli Fontana, and Liya Kebede is more friendly and lively. Both showcase the clothes flawlessly, but which ad lineup wins?

Celebrity Style: Liya Kebede

Liya Kebede's children's clothing line, LemLem, has finally hit the racks. The model debuted the collection at the J. Crew in NYC looking slick as ever in liquid leggings and a black blazer. Her LemLem striped scarf breaks up the black, while her boots lend a tough-girl edge. The pieces she's wearing aren't revolutionary, but I applaud her for fusing them in a uniquely fashionable manner.
