BellaSugar — Wed, 14 Mar 2012 06:00:34 PDT

You may not know her by name yet, but Elisa Sednaoui is changing that. The face of the latest Roberto Cavalli fragrance, this multilingual model portrays one head-turning tigress in the spot above. She's something of a renaissance woman, too; this 24-year-old with Italian, Egyptian, and French heritage has used her modeling career to catapult her to other opportunities like acting and directing a music video. And on top of that, hello - she's gorgeous. She's sharing her best beauty advice (it's refreshingly down-to-earth!), so read more

Roberto Cavalli: "Every Woman Is a Supermodel"

Annie Tomlin — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 12:11:06 PST

Within 30 seconds of observing Roberto Cavalli, this much is clear: he doesn't just like women. He adores them. Whether making eye contact with his longtime wife, Eva, or greeting this reporter with a kiss on the hand, the Italian designer has an appreciation for all things feminine. And as he launches his new eponymous fragrance, it's no surprise that he has women on the mind. He's opened his showroom to talk about the scent, which is represented by model Elisa Sednaoui, a 24-year-old polyglot filmmaker who also happens to look stunning in a plunging Cavalli gown. (That's her above.)

Cavalli has already released a string of fragrances in the past decade, but this one, he says, is different. His first with Coty, it's a blend of pink peppercorn, orange flower, and roasted tonka beans. "It is a perfect perfume because it's not too much," he says, looking pleased with the result. "It's delicate, it's soft, it's very young." Young, but not too young - in the same way that Cavalli's animal-print gowns need to be worn with confidence, the fragrance has a certain sophistication that leans more womanly than girlish.

Cavalli has said that he designs clothes for women who want to be noticed, but he insists that attitude, not a "perfect" model physique, is the key to wearing one of his creations. "What does it mean to be a supermodel?" he asks. "To be tall and skinny? Absolutely not. Every woman is a supermodel. A supermodel is a woman who's feminine and strong. Many women are more beautiful than they think."

Roberto Cavalli, the fragrance, is available now.

Just Cavalli Fall 2012

Brittney Stephens — Fri, 24 Feb 2012 12:25:14 PST

Roberto Cavalli may have mixed things up a bit for the Fall 2012 showing of his bridge line, Just Cavalli, but the collection wasn't without the designer's signature rock 'n' roll sensibilities. Models were outfitted in super-skinny trousers, mixed-media-style frocks (think houndstooth and ocelot, zebra-print and Aztec zigzags), and playfully sexy Lurex tops, lending a vibrant, lighthearted '60s spin on an otherwise rocker-cool runway show. Cavalli did bring some new silhouettes into the picture, however - he showed sleek, slouchy patent-leather pants in hues of nude, red, and gray and also introduced a tailored, oversize menswear-inspired coat with leather lapels. More details on the Just Cavalli collection below.

Trends: Patent leather, fitted trousers, and, of course, animal prints.
Colors: Black, camel, red, nude, olive, forest green.
Key Piece: The allover leopard-print cape with bronze leggings; the champagne-colored dress dripping with paillettes.
Accessories: Glitter-covered ankle booties and mixed-print drawstring satchels.
Who Would Wear It: Cavalli connoisseurs like Miley Cyrus and Fergie.

Champagne-colored gowns dominated the red carpet at the 2012 Golden Globes. From Charlize Theron to Kate Beckinsale, we spotted a lot of celebrities wearing this refreshing hue for the evening. We can't wait to see if this soft nude palette continues to be a red-carpet trend at the SAGs and Oscars!

Kate Beckinsale was a sight of perfection on the Golden Globes red carpet. The beautiful brunette radiated in a strapless gown by Roberto Cavalli paired with diamond stacked bangles and stunning oversized earrings. The fit and flare mermaid silhouette fit her body like a glove, and we like how she kept her makeup simple via a slight smoky eye and a dab of pink lip gloss. Are you loving her look?

R&B legend Mary J. Blige arrived at the AMAs looking confident in a single-sleeved leopard print gown by Roberto Cavalli.

If This Isn't Glamour, We Don't Know What Is

Cindy Crawford just alighted off a boat - helmed by George Clooney, no less - in Italy for the Venice Film Festival wearing a dramatic red Roberto Cavalli gown, Chopard jewels, and her megawatt smile. We adore the iconic supermodel and love her even more for schooling us in seriously grownup, totally luxurious glamour. For all the angles on Cindy, including her red-carpet turn at the festival, click the slideshow.

VMAs: Miley Cyrus

BellaSugar — Sun, 28 Aug 2011 18:52:19 PDT

Here's Miley Cyrus wearing a multitextured, multipatterned Roberto Cavalli gown, featuring mixed hues of muted taupe, gold, black, and seafoam green. Drop earrings, a wraparound necklace, and an oversize ring provide some added flair, while a low back line and bold eye makeup lend plenty more drama. Miley is known for taking red-carpet risks, but do you think she took it too far this time?
