Salma Hayek may have recently admitted that she was acne-ridden and depressed for much of her 20s, but you wouldn’t know it from looking at her these days. The woman is the very definition of a classic Hollywood glamour girl and she happens to be very dedicated to doing charity and good works, too. She and her multi-billionaire husband, Henri Francois Pinault, attend lots of fashion shows together (it’s very cute!) and seem to provide a very loving home for their daughter Valentina. All in all, Salma turned out pretty damn awesome, despite — or maybe because of — her early-20s trouble. And we love her voluptuous curves and the way she really fills out a fancy gown. After the jump, 1o of our all-time favorite Salma styles.

Jared Leto Vs. James Franco: A Comparison

Julie GersteinOctober 17, 2011 //

This may be a controversial and somewhat politically incorrect opinion, but I’ll just say it: Jared Leto has aged to look like a female-to-male transsexual. There is something that happens when a dude is too pretty, and his face refuses to age up and out of that, which makes him seem just kind of strange looking. And that’s the Leto Effect. Just look at him in this Hugo Boss ad for proof.

James Franco, on the other hand, seems to have actually discovered his jawbone. See this new Gucci ad? His face has filled out and gone from rough to smooth since his “Freaks and Geeks” days. Don’t worry, I still think he’d be really annoying to hang out with. But at least he’s not prettier than me. (Gah, I can’t believe I said something nice about James Franco).

Do Not Want: Designer 3-D Glasses

Leonora EpsteinOctober 31, 2010 //

Get ready for the next wave in fancy, useless, overpriced things: designer 3-D glasses. Apparently, Gucci is about to come out with some slick $225 aviators, while Armani is also planning a similar product (which will cost significantly less at $58, but still). We’d maybe justify the cost if somehow these fancy specs doubled as sunglasses, gave you x-ray vision, or made everything look like a Japanese anime movie. But alas, Gucci and Armani’s glasses are intended only for watching 3-D movies in the theater. Which you do how many times a year? [Fashionista] Keep reading »

Jennifer Lopez Uses Kids To Sell Gucci, Raise Money For UNICEF

Susannah BreslinOctober 21, 2010 //

So, tell me what you think of this. Since the birth of her twins, Max and Emme, with husband Mark Antony, Jennifer Lopez has done a pretty impressive job of keeping her kids out of the limelight. Considering all that came before it — that dress, dating Diddy, Bennifer — I wouldn’t have expected JLo to be so, well, discreet. Other than some paparazzi shots, we haven’t seen much of her twins. Until now, that is. This week, there’s a new ad campaign featuring Lopez and both kids for Gucci’s newly launched fashion line for children (eh, Gucci, for tots, really?), and Gucci is also donating money to UNICEF.

Can You Name The Celebrity In Gucci’s New Guilty Fragrance Ads?

Susannah BreslinAugust 11, 2010 //

You’d think if a brand pays who-knows-how-much for a celebrity to star in their ad campaign, they’d want that celebrity to be recognizable in the final product. That brings us to the new ads for Gucci’s latest fragrance, Guilty. Recognize the actress seen here? I sure didn’t; I had to look it up to identify her. Here are a few hints: she’s young, her fiance is scary, and she’s been nominated for a Golden Globe. Still can’t figure out who it is? Check out another image and find out after the jump.

Quotable: Drew Barrymore Brought Gucci Down

Lauren PanarielloApril 17, 2010 //

“Never wear a high neck dress with a high belt. It makes your t*ts look like they are at your waist. I’m so sorry, Gucci, I have tarnished your name.”

— Drew Barrymore, on the infamous designer gown she wore to the Golden Globes four years ago. Honey, we’re over it! [Styleite] Keep reading »

Gucci’s Spring 2010 Video Campaign Takes Place In A Screensaver

Leonora EpsteinFebruary 9, 2010 //


Behold Gucci‘s painfully awkward video campaign for the spring 2010 collection. This is the type of thing where we get what the company was going for, yet can’t help but wonder how weird the filming must have been. Here we have some models trying to be serious, but instead they look like wax Barbie and Ken dolls. They’re so stiff it’s like a kid butted their heads together and made kissy noises. The background: a beach scene so vivid it could only be a digitally altered image either lifted from a Windows ’99 screensaver or “Saving Nemo.” Things start getting really creepy with intense still shots from the torso up that make you think the guy has to be getting a blow job off camera, and then whoa — she’s totally masturbating while sitting in his lap! Cut to: our male model, who has suddenly turned into Beatnik Ken in an all-black ensemble because, clearly, this is deep fashion … we’ll let you take the rest from here. [YouTube] Keep reading »

Angelina Jolie Slips Into Some Gucci

Bianca PosterliOctober 21, 2009 //

Most think of Gucci and see interlocking G’s, horsebit hobo bags, or that red and green stripe. But there’s an entire sordid past of the Gucci family, which Tom Ford and Frida Giannini have nothing to do with – and it’s not about design. In 1995, the heir to the Gucci throne, Maurizio Gucci, had his life cut short when he was brutally shot. Behind the murder? Apparently, his wife Patrizia Reggiani set the plot for his early death. While she faced 29 years in prison, the hired assassin earned a life sentence for the murder and Patrizia’s psychic, who contacted the killer, was sent to jail for 25 years.

Sounds like a movie, no? Well, Fox 2000 thinks so, and Angelina Jolie has been approached to play the distressed wife. As for Maurizio? Leonardo DiCaprio is the first choice, but we’ll have to wait to see if that works out. Either way, a Gucci drama will be a welcome addition to the influx of fashion films on movie billboards these days. [Variety]

New Gucci Spot Reveals Models Can Speak

Susannah BreslinSeptember 2, 2009 //

No, it’s not an “SNL” skit. It’s the latest video advert from Gucci, a “behind the scenes” look at their fall/winter 2009/2010 line. If you like listening to crazy-thin models with wackadoodle names talk over each other about each other while wearing clothes that you cannot afford and striking random, gawky poses, you will love this spot. All that model chattering aside, I would die, and I do mean die, for those thigh-high, skintight boots. Baldor? Is that actually one of the model’s (real? fake?) names? Ah, fashion.

Gucci And Mary J. Blige Team Up For The Ladies

Zandile BlayAugust 28, 2009 //

It’s not all about glitz and glam; Gucci also loves to give. The luxury brand is doing just that with their latest partnership with R&B icon, Mary J. Blige. To raise funds for Blige’s charity, Foundation For the Advancement of Women Now, INC, simply known as FFAWN — yes, the name could have been just a little shorter — they are relaunching a special-edition watch. The all-black, logo-embossed time piece, known as the Twirl watch, will be on sale on September 16, exclusively at Gucci’s 5th Avenue, New York City store (and nationwide on the 17th). A percentage of the proceeds will go directly to Blige’s charity. Now for the tough part: At $1895 a pop, we wonder just how many people will be springing for this pricey piece. Good luck Gucci.
