Double Take: Double the Vixen Covers, Double the Fun

FabSugar — Thu, 07 Aug 2008 15:00:22 PDT

I love a dramatic cover. That's why I loved ultraleggy model Nadja Auermann's September 1994 cover of Bazaar. She pierced my soul with her platinum hair, panther eyes, and icy blue feathers. But wait, doesn't Kate Hudson's 2008 W cover look strikingly similar? I don't know if that was intentional, but it's uncanny. I'm a fan of both ladies, and they both pull off this extreme look, so it's double the fun for me.

Harper's Bazaar

A women's fashion magazine (originally Bazar) begun in 1867 by Fletcher Harper and brothers, featuring fashion news and feature articles. Of primary interest were its fashion plates, which came from Berlin's counterpart magazine, Der Bazaar, that featured the latest in European fashion reported to the readers of Harper's Bazaar. The magazine was purchased by William Hearst in 1913 and continues today.

The editor-in-chief of the US version is currently Glenda Bailey. The magazine is published in 18 other countries, including Australia, Greece, Hong Kong, United Kingdom, Chile and Russia.

To the left is actress Lauren Bacall on the cover of the magazine in March 1943.

A Stroke of Genius: The Simpsons in Bazaar

FabSugar — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 14:20:22 PDT

As you all know by now: I love a fashion surprise. Thank you Harper's Bazaar for conceiving something so brilliantly bizarre as this spread in the August issue with the all-American family soon to be on the silver screen, The Simpsons. Illustrated by The Simpsons layout artist, Julius Preite, these fun-filled pages feature the cast in collections and designers from the Fall RTW collections with a special cameo from my favorite all-time supermodel - guess who?!

My favorite bits include the ladies lounging in sultry Versace, Marge's hats, and the ever-bazaar Viktor & Rolf. What do you think? Brilliant? Bizarre? Or, brilliantly bizarre?

Gwyneth Paltrow Reveals Her Secret to a Happy Marriage in Harper's Bazaar

Allie Merriam — Wed, 01 Feb 2012 08:16:16 PST

Gwyneth Paltrow shows off her amazing frame on the cover of - and inside - the March 2012 issue of Harper's Bazzar, which will be available on newsstands Feb. 14. For the cover of the magazine, she was decked out in a deep-V jumpsuit. For the accompanying photo spread lensed by Terry Richardson, she wore dark gowns from Anthony Vaccarello, Alexander McQueen, and more. Gwyneth got candid in her interview, making rare comments about her life with husband Chris Martin. She spoke about his being "communicative" and a hands-on dad, even revealing her family secret to maintaining a long marriage. Here's more from Gwyneth Paltrow in Harper's Bazaar:

On her husband Chris Martin: "He’s very communicative, which is rare for a British man . . . If I’m in L.A. for three days working, then my husband does the school run; it’s always one of us."
On her marriage: "I have little kids in school. I want to maintain my marriage and my family, so I have to be here when he comes home."
On her father's advice for a good marriage: "My parents were married for 30-something years, and he said [it was] because they never wanted to get divorced at the same time . . . I think you do fall in and out of love and you just keep going, and every time you go through a really difficult phase, you rediscover something new and it just gets better. We’ve been married for more than eight years now, and we’re still into it."

Naomi Campbell Feels Carbs Are a Treat

Jenny Sugar — Tue, 07 Feb 2012 12:07:03 PST

With the birth of the Atkins diet, carbs immediately got a bad reputation. It seems like everyone I know has gone on a carb-free diet at least once in their lives to lose weight, and even Naomi Campbell is no stranger to forgoing carbs. In the March issue of Harper's Bazaar, the 41-year-old model admits that she's blessed with a high metabolism, but she also exercises and watches her diet. Naomi works hard to maintain her famous model figure and says, "For me, carbs are a treat now."

I can see ditching refined carbs - foods made with white flour, like bagels, cookies, cakes, and pasta - since they have very little nutritional value. But whole grain bread and cereals, whole wheat pasta, and whole grains like quinoa and barley are super nutritious. These complex carbs contain protein to sustain energy levels and filling fiber to curb hunger, both of which can help you lose weight. However, there is definitely some validity to cutting carbs and losing weight. A recent study showed that cutting carbs twice a week was more effective than eating a low-calorie diet, so I can see why some women may choose to limit their carb intake in the name of weight loss. How do you feel about carbs?

Gwyneth Paltrow's Family Dinner and Bath Time

Rebecca M Gruber — Fri, 03 Feb 2012 08:34:32 PST

A family that bathes together stays together? I was so mesmerized by the images of an immaculately toned and coiffed Gwyneth Paltrow on the cover of Harper's Bazaar this week that I barely noticed her quotes about family life inside the Paltrow-Martin household in London. Within the article, the mom-of-two describes her family's evening routine and it seems that many mamas are taking issue with it. According to the magazine:

But it's Gwyneth who gives the children their bath-"we all get into the tub together"-and she's the one who cooks dinner for them before Apple and Moses go to bed at 8:00. It's a family dinner, unless she goes out with Chris to eat at her favorite Japanese restaurants in London or for seafood at the members-only Arts Club.

The issue is not that Gwyneth actually cooks her kids meals, but that she and the kids - Apple, 7, and Moses, 5 - all bathe together. There's no clear-cut answer as to when parents should stop bathing with their kids, or even when they should cover up in front of them. Tori Spelling recently wondered aloud if she needed to stop changing in front of her kids after her son commented on her rear end.

What do you think? Is there a specific age when mom needs to get out of her tots' bath?
