Tilda givin’ a little twist in Another by Craig McDean.

1. Tilda Swinton

One of the most striking women in film, on the red carpet and in fashion spreads, look no further for Swinton’s editorial excellence than this month’s W.

I don’t want to say that I was happy when I heard the news of  the J.Lo-Marc Anthony split…though a smile might have crept across my lips for a brief second. Call me crazy, but Anthony, my least favorite J.L0 partnering (I’m still holding out hopes for a Jennifer Lopez-Puff Daddy-Diddy-Diddy Dirty Money-Sean Combs reconciliation) was just holding the diva back. This latest development, however, will no doubt further fuel her recent comeback because nothing engenders sympathy — and publicity — like a high-profile divorce.

Kohl’s on the other hand, isn’t taking  it so well.

“The Jennifer Lopez and Marc Anthony brands have always been positioned as two separate, distinctive collections that offer high-quality contemporary style for men and women,” half-heartedly claims  a spokeswoman for Kohl’s, “and we look forward to a successful September launch.”

Rick Darling, the president of the licensing company behind the Lopez-Anthony line, also insists on the separate but equal plan:

“We have two separate agreements with Jennifer and Marc and always intended to have separate lines. [Their split] doesn’t impact the agreements in any way.”

Poor kids. Now Kohl’s will have to spend separate holidays and weekends with J.Lo and Marc…and inevitably they’ll have to choose between the two of them. And who do you think they’re going to side with? The poor straight man’s Ricky Martin or the rich gay man’s Eva Mendes? [WWD]

– Professional stunner and sometime actress, Eva Mendes, on her new gig as the face of Thierry Mugler‘s 19 year old fragrance,  Angel.

The new campaign, conceived by Thierry Mugler himself, is expected to cost about $5 million over the next twelve months. This will include a film shot by British director Baillie Walsh, a significant digital campaign featuring a strong social  media component and print ads shot by genius duo, Inez van Lamsweerde and Vinoodh Matadin, set to run in September.

Mendes, who has previously shilled for Revlon and is the current face of Pantene, replaces co-actress Naomi Watts as the Mugler Angel. For the TV commercial, shot in Prague, Eva displays her vocal chops on the classic “Windmills of Your Mind.”

Check out Mendes showing up to the recording studio — demure and understated in tweeds — where she breathily knocks out the tune, below. [WWD]:

Eva always looks amazing, even when she appears slightly hungover. I love a good floral day dress for shopping, and the pink of these roses looks amazing with her skin tone. I wish it was warm enough here so I could wear something like this on Easter.

It’s difficult for Eva Mendes to look anything less than amazing, even when her outfit choice isn’t my favorite.

Using unique vintage leathers, innovative hardware and impeccable craftsmanship, Modern Vintage has garnered a loyal celebrity following with Nicole Richie, Eva Mendes, Heidi Klum, Jessica Lowndes, Whitney Port, Hilary Duff and Michelle Trachtenberg.

Eva Mendes shows that even housewives get to have fun. The star of the upcoming “The Other Guys” showcases pure sex appeal in this series of photos for Vogue Italy. Check out the full spread here.

“Hell yeah, I would take Mark over any young, new, hot thing! He’s amazing! What’s beautiful about Mark is he’s such an amazing actor, he has really proven himself as a talent. He’s still hot, insanely hot. GOD! He’s got the goods, the talent to back it up, it’s a full thing.”

Eva Mendes has some very sweet words for Mark Wahlberg. Apparently no one can compete with her co-star in “The Other Guys.” Do you agree? Who’s your favorite Calvin Klein Underwear model?

How did the same dress end up on three different high-fashion magazine covers? That’s what we — and Guardian reporter Imogen Fox — really want to know.

The dress, an appliqued Miu Miu creation, is on W, British Vogue and Elle UK. To be fair, we should mention that the dress Lily Allen wears on the cover of Elle is done in a muted lilac lace, while Eva Mendes (on W’s cover) and Swedish model Freja Beha Erichsen (on British Vogue) are both seen in the yellow version.

So how did it happen? We’re flabbergasted, and, well, so is Fox:

Surprisingly, this sort of cover multiplicity is rare. Actors frequently chalk up multiple dresses in the same month, but not magazine covers. There are good reasons for this. Fashion press officers work hard to achieve a delicate UN-style political balance between glossies to make sure that these kinds of overlaps don’t happen. “Usually press offices are pretty good at making sure we don’t get the same dress as our rivals,” says Lorraine Candy, Elle’s editor.

So we have to wonder what happened here — could Miu Miu be so hard up for publicity that it would need to trick three magazines into using its dress? Do we really believe Miuccia Prada is capable of doing something so schemey? No. She’s a sweetheart. And she makes really good clothes — good clothes that, clearly, beg to be photographed.

Italian designer Antonio Berardi, whose clients include Victoria Beckham, Megan Fox, Amber Rose, Eva Mendes and Gwyneth Paltrow, declined an offer from GaGa to collaborate. “I was approached to design a clothing range with Lady GaGa but I knocked it back because I wasn’t interested in someone whose music is meaningless,” Berardi said. Funny, considering how useless Amber Rose is!

I’m only interested in Eva Mendes when she’s not attempting to act. Seriously, Eva, just focus on doing whatever it is your doing in these ads and leave the acting to the Jolie’s and Hathaway’s of the world, your attempt at being whatever it is your trying to be (my guess is a respected actor, but someone who makes bank at the cinema is another noble cause) isn’t happening, cause you can’t act chica, you really, really, really, really, really suck huevos at it.

It’s always interesting to see how certain runway pieces translate into event outfits, especially when they are worn by real life women instead of models. I also love that some pieces are altered to be more ‘ready to wear’ which gives them more life, although I must admit that it’s not fair that celebs get to wear collections not yet available for me to purchase. 

LINKAGE: red carpet-fashion

I want to think she was just trying to stay incognito while sightseeing in Rome. Eva Mendes looks horrendously grandmotherly in an ill-fitting floral dress, brown boots, and a flesh-colored bag.

INO.

Is it just me or is it really hard to tell that this is Jessica Biel? It sorta looks like ScarJo, or Eva Mendes?

Oh the pleasures of photoshop.

We knew that Eva Mendes was the model for Calvin Klein when billboards were released, where she was strewn across the massive ad almost completely naked. Well, I guess the eager desire for more quickly penetrated the execs because a mere one week later, the billboard of Eva, in a sheer bra, was replaced by the one above. Making some smart decisions, they decided to add a perfume onto the scene. No confusion about what to purchase anymore!

Thanks to Racked and NYMag!

No premiere has had every woman on the red carpet looking so put together and classy.

Eva Mendes for Calvin Klein Secret Obsession was rejected by all major American television networks for being too suggestive earlier this Summer. The clip did manage to become a YouTube sensation, but has now been removed from the Web site, who claims the footage “It has been removed due to terms of use violation.”

Click here to view the controversial ad.

The funny thing is, there was barely a nipple slip in the video, nothing we haven’t seen before on youtube. Seriously, you can find videos on there of people choking each other, pretending to commit suicide (or actual suicide from ‘Face of Death’), and all sorts of violence, but a nipple is forbidden? Come on!!!

Thanks PopCrunch for the news.

With rumors swirling that Quentin Tarantino will be remaking the cult classic Faster Pussycat, Kill, Kill I thought I would dedicate a post to the awesome style of the original movie.

The rumored cast is said to be anyone and everyone from Britney Spears, Eva Mendes, and porn-star Tera Patrick. If this remake ever does make it to the screen it will either be the greatest thing ever or a huge steaming pile of crap.

What Britney’s costume might look like….

Oh, Calvin Klein. Like you didn’t know that Eva Mendes’ nip slip wouldn’t cause controversy!!! You sneaky devils. You knew all us bloggers would write about it giving you a ton of free publicity. Great job on getting us all on board. You just saved a shit load on buying TV air time and will probably get just amount of coverage on your Youtube video…

Come to think about it. That’s a great idea. I’m working on a commercial right this second that will feature gratuitous balledge from yours truly. Then I’m gonna try to get it on TV. Write a press release when it’s banned. Post it on YouTube. And make my video viral.

Oh joy for Youtube.

By now we’ve all seen the racy print ads of Eva Mendes for Calvin Klein, but do you know that there’s a commercial too?! Oh you’ll never see it on television because they’ve been banned in the United States. Prudes!

Click here to see the banned commercial for the fragrance.

If the bottle didn’t appear at the end of the clip, you would be certain that this was an intro to the classiest porn you’ve ever seen.

Eva Longoria-Parker, not pregnant-just dresses like it

Ever since empire dresses and tent dresses became all the rage every celebrity has become ‘pregnant’. The gossip rags love calling every celeb who dresses in this of-the-moment-trend as knocked up. The latest celebrity to have a non-existent-bun-in-the-oven is Eva Longoria-Parker (I believe this is her 12th pregnancy in two years). She was photographed wearing an empire waisted dress over a black t-shirt, which means she is of course with child. Thankfully her stylist/celeb-personality Robert Verdi came to her rescue assuring us all she is not, by revealing some interesting facts about the stylist-client relationship:

“Eva is not pregnant! I’m not her gynecologist, but I am her stylist,” he explained. “I see her naked. I see her boobs! That’s the first place it would show, and it’s not showing!”

To recap what we’ve learned today. Stylist’s can tell many things about you, because they see you naked. And even though they are gay and don’t swing that way, they will defend your honor by telling publications that they freely see you naked. But let’s never forget that a stylist is not the same thing as a gyno. Thank you Robert Verdi!

Eva Mendes also not eating for two

I must say I don’t really get the whole empire/tent dress trend. Who wants to look pregnant if they’re not?

Although celebrities have hijacked hordes of fashion ads in recent years, Nineties-era supermodels — displaying formidable powers of longevity — have returned with a vengeance in many of fall’s fashion campaigns. Even Marc Jacobs is going back to using models for his Fall campaign.

That Linda Evangelista is starring in Prada, Naomi Campbell in Yves Saint Laurent, Claudia Schiffer in Chanel and Salvatore Ferragamo, Eva Herzigova in Louis Vuitton and Christy Turlington in Escada suggests these industry thoroughbreds remain as bankable and fascinating as Hollywood’s best beauties.

In fact, models in general — from newbies to veterans — dominate the lion’s share of European designer campaigns for next season, from Daria Werbowy in Christian Dior and Raquel Zimmerman in Fendi to Angela Lindvall in Jimmy Choo and Kate Moss in Stella McCartney. Notable exceptions to the celebrity-free ad zone include Charlotte Gainsbourg for Balenciaga and Vanessa Paradis for Miu Miu — while many American brands also are sticking to the celeb road, such as Calvin Klein’s multiple use of Eva Mendes.

Donatella Versace credits her late brother Gianni for fueling the supermodel phenomenon by sending all the top girls down the runway together in 1991.

“He made the models into celebrities as he understood that the more famous they became, the better it would be for him,” she said. “I don’t really make a distinction between working with celebrities and working with models as I think girls like Christy Turlington and, more recently, Kate Moss and Gisele [Bündchen] are celebrities, just as well-known as many actors and musicians.”

Yes, I know everyone is talking about it, but I wanted to put my two cents in too. Straight out of rehab and into the ads of Calvin Klein, Eva Mendes is the newest anticipated celeb to do a fragrance ad. One of the most beautiful actresses in the industry, and fellow hispanical, Eva is powerful and very sexy. From provocative to just plain nude, it seems as though she’s always a conversation started.

It makes me mad that when models take off their clothes in ads it’s normal, but when this beauty did it, it started controversy. Oh well, I guess that just comes with the territory.

Eva Mendes is vintagely hotness in Italian Vogue. Naughty, naughty Ms. Mendes. Rehab has treated you well.
