Here's the lowdown on the latest fashion news!

Bikini-clad Miranda Kerr shows off flawless post-baby bod

Aussie supermodel Miranda Kerr showed no signs of babyweight as she posed in a skimpy black bikini for a Victoria's Secret photo shoot in Malibu on Sunday.

Kerr, who gave birth to her son three months back, was back in her finest form to flaunt her good looks for the snapping photogs, reports Gossip Center.

Aside from her photo shoots, Kerr has been enjoying life at the homefront with husband Orlando Bloom and their young son.

Of the newfound parental duties, Bloom recently told press, "It's awesome, I love it."

"I hate that word but I love being a father. It's changed everything in so many ways. Miranda is an amazing mother," he added.

A Muslim model has upset her family by stripping for a series of saucy shots for Playboy.

Until now, Sila Sahin, a 25-year-old Turkish German living in Berlin, had been regarded as a glowing example of how a modern Muslim girl should behave in a multicultural society.

A successful actress starring in German television soap opera Good Times, Bad Times, she pleased her many fans and made her Turkish family proud.

But her latest move has outraged her family and Muslim fans, reports the Daily Mail.

Posing provocatively on the cover of German Playboy Magazine with one breast exposed, Sahin seems to be sending a clear and deliberate message to her conservative Turkish family.

"I did it because I wanted to be free at last. These photographs are a liberation from the restrictions of my childhood," she said.

Her family has, unsurprisingly, reacted with horror, and her mother has cut off all contact with the actress.

"My mother is still angry. It will be even more difficult with my grandparents, my aunts and my uncles," she said on the website devoted to her television soap.

She has, however, managed to talk to her actor father, who expressed concern over the pressure she will inevitably face from the Muslim community.

Sahin's declared intention was to use the controversial Playboy photoshoot as a call to action for other Turkish girls who suffer the effects of their strict backgrounds, where women's choices are often limited, husbands are chosen for the girls and chastity closely controlled.

Her message to these girls?

"For too long I tried to do everything right. I want these photos to show young Turkish women it's okay for you to live however you choose," she said.

'Many of my countrymen think it's great that I can be so free. With the shoot I hoped to say to them that we do not necessarily have to live under these rules given to us," she added.

In what is undeniably a groundbreaking move, Sahin is the first Turkish woman ever to strip for the cover of Playboy.

Indeed, in the 12-page article that accompanies the revealing photographs, Sahin says she feels 'like Che Guevara', adding that the semi-naked photoshoot was a bid to express her freedom.

'My upbringing was conservative. I was always told, you must not go out, you must not make yourself look so attractive, you mustn't have male friends," she told Playboy.

"I have always abided by what men say. As a result I developed an extreme desire for freedom. I feel like Che Guevara. I have to do everything I want, otherwise I feel like I may as well be dead," she added.

But despite her bold move, Sahin wants her family forgiveness.

"I hope you can forgive me. Please let me come home," she said in an emotional TV interview.

Like Sila, Elizabeth 'Lizzy' Scarlett Jagger is also risking her family's disapproval over nude pics in Playboy.

Sir Mick Jagger and Texan model Jerry Hall's eldest daughter has posed nude in a photoshoot for the magazine, risking her father's anger.

Lizzy, 27, will feature in the May edition after her 19-year-old sister Georgia May stunned the fashion world by posing topless for a campaign to advertise the US jeans company Hudson.

A preview image from the shoot appears at the back of the current issue above the words: "Elizabeth Scarlett Jagger -- She's half supermodel, half rock and roll royalty and 100 percent smoking hot. The sultry beauty gives us satisfaction."

Photos show her staring into the camera with her hair covering her breasts, in skimpy underwear and a matching garter belt. The publication will also be featuring a six-page nude pictorial.

Her father, who is the lead vocalist of rock band The Rolling Stones, had been angry when she made an appearance in a London Fashion Week show in 2004 at the age of 20, wearing a see-through top.

He is also said to have been behind her decision to turn down a lucrative offer to pose for Playboy in 2005, when she was 21.

But she recently said she regretted the decision not to do the nude shoot.

"I'm thinking I should do naked pictures before I have children. Still, if it's quite sexual, you do have to have boundaries," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.

What will they endorse next?

The Kardashian sisters while tweeting have inadvertently revealed that they are in talks to launch their own line of OPI nail polishes.

"Top secret meeting with my sisters for OPI," the New York Daily News quoted Khloe Kardashian as tweeting last week.

Soon her sister Kourtney cleared the rumour with her own tweet: "Amazing top secret meeting today with OPI!!! I am obsessed with their nail polish colors!"

A rep for OPI told Fashionista, "Unfortunately I can't confirm either way...(we) should have an answer one way or another in the coming weeks."

Will her shock tactics never cease? We hope not!

Lady Gaga debuted the cover art for her highly anticipated Born This Way album over the weekend, which features the eccentric singer as a half woman and half motorcycle.

On the cover, Gaga's head is the handlebar and her arms become the front part of the bike. The cover is entirely in black and white, except for Gaga's blood red lips.

Gaga's new image, however, hasn't gone down well with some of her fans.

"I like Lady Gaga, but this cover is just creepy," Popeater.com quoted a commentator as saying.

"Is this for real it looks like something a fan put together in Photoshop," wrote another.

And as if that wasn't enough, the 25-year-old popstar has now claimed in an interview that the horns protruding from her face, head and shoulders are all natural.

When asked how long it takes to achieve the look, she replied she was born that way.

"Well, first of all, they're not prosthetics. They're my bones," the New York Daily News quoted her as telling Harper's Bazaar.

"They've always been inside of me, but I have been waiting for the right time to reveal to the universe who I truly am," she explained.

"We all have these bones!" she insisted.

"They're the light from inside of us," she added.

Victoria Beckham has kept herself slim despite being six months pregnant and the secret behind it is -- regular sessions with Hollywood body stylist Rachel Zoe.

Zoe has been popping round to 36-year-old Posh 's Beverly Hills home to guide her through her pregnancy.

The 39-year-old rose to fame in Hollywood by styling ultra-slim celebrities Nicole Richie and Keira Knightley.

"Rachel had her first baby, Skylar, on March 23 and gained hardly any extra weight," the Daily Mail quoted a friend as saying.

"She has a reputation for helping her Hollywood friends maintain their size-zero frames, and thinks of herself as quite an expert when it comes to keeping trim and healthy during pregnancy."

"Victoria has been eagerly listening to her advice and they have become firm friends," the friend added.

Looks like not everyone is as concerned about their pregnancy pounds as Mrs Beckham.

Hollywood star Jessica Alba, who is now expecting her second child with husband Cash Warren, has revealed that she has learned to accept her changed figure.

"I learned to accept my body and to give less importance to my appearance. Being a mother has taught me how to adapt to any situation," the Daily Mail quoted her as telling the Italian Vogue.

The 29-year-old, who is already a mother-of-one, said she felt "liberated" about her post-pregnancy physique.

The Fantastic Four star also told the publication that she now prefers to cover up when she is in the public eye.

"My own style is probably a mixture of high and low. I'm definitely into sort of layering and I like mystery, so I don't put it all out there,' she said.

"I play dress-up for a living for photo shoots and for working and movies or what-not."

"I sort of wear more revealing things that show my body. But in life I like things that have a little bit more mystery," she added.

In more yummy mummy news, Elizabeth Hurley raised four million pounds at an annual fundraising event for a breast cancer charity.

"We raised more than 4 million pounds tonight for the Breast Cancer Research Foundation. A huge thank you to everyone who came to support us," the Daily Mail quoted Hurley as tweeting.

Hurley slipped on her best shimmering pink frock for the annual fundraiser at the Waldorf Astoria in New York City; she attends every year alongside her A-list pals.

Hurley won kudos from all including her boyfriend Shane Warne, who wasn't by her side. Nonetheless, he tweeted to congratulate her for raising so much money.

Last year the bash had raised over 4 million pounds, which was Hurley's target for this year's event.

Liz may prefer pink, but what's Jessica's choice?

Simpson has started planning what she'll wear at her wedding to former NFL player Eric Johnson.

The couple hasn't yet set their final date, but the singer has already made up her mind for the big day dress.

"It's definitely going to be beautiful. I want it to be different from what I've had before. I have a lot of tear sheets!" Pop Eater quoted Simpson as telling People Magazine.

"I like my collar bone. I have a long neck, so I like to show off my decolletage," the 30-year-old singer added.

When asked about the colour, she said: "I haven't really thought about it. I do like the romantic feel of a lighter colour."

And about the wedding date, the singer added, "It'll definitely be somewhere warm! Once I get what I want my dress to look like, we'll set a date."

Talk about making colour statements -- actress Drew Barrymore now has hair that matches her fiery personality. She has dyed her locks red.

She debuted her new look at the launch party for Kimberly Snyder's book The Beauty Detox Solution.

"Drew just felt like trying out red," the New York Daily News quoted her hairstylist, Tracey Cunnigham, as telling UsMagazine.com

Cunningham, a Redken Creative Consultant for Color, said that Barrymore "loves it!"

"It looks great on her," she added.

Model-turned-TV host Padma Lakshmi has admitted that it can be a struggle maintaining her healthy body while working on Top Chef.

She has revealed that she has put on weight while working on the food-centric show.

"It's not easy. I go up one to two dress sizes," the New York Daily News quoted Lakshmi as telling Parade.com

"What you don't see on camera is that I do have a rack full of clothes that range in sizes and as I gain weight, I just wear bigger clothes."

"I've learned a thing or two about how to camouflage certain areas and how to draw the eye to a preferable area of the body."

"I have really hard-working people behind-the-scenes who shop for me and help me do that," added the 40-year-old single mom.

Gwyneth Paltrow continues to dish about her figure this week. She has revealed the secret behind her 'good body' shape in an interview.

"I never thought that I'd be considered to have a good body. I was bony up top and kind of dumpy on the bottom," the New York Daily News quoted Paltrow as saying in Self.

It wasn't until the 38-year-old met celebrity trainer Tracy Anderson that she began her body transformation. But despite the opportunity to work with a certified trainer, the actress revealed the secret to achieving her red-carpet worthy figure is simply done the old fashioned way: diet and exercise.

"I do 45 minutes of cardio five days a week, because I like to eat," she said.

"If I'm prepping for something or I've been eating a lot of pie, I do two hours a day, six days a week for two weeks."

"I've found what works for me," she adds.

"I know if I put in an hour and a half, five days a week, I'm good. If I'm on vacation and, like, 'F--- it, I'm not working out,' I know what to do when I get back. A lot of women think, 'Oh, my God, I could never get there,' but I don't think that's true. It's simply relative to how much you put into it," she added.

Cheryl Cole is reportedly working hard on the treadmill in the hope of achieving sleek-looking legs just like lovely Latino Jennifer Lopez ahead of her US X Factor debut.

Pals say 5' 3" Cheryl fears she could look "short and stumpy" next to fellow judges, who could include 5'6" Nicole Scherzinger, 32.

"Cheryl wants the best body of her life for the US X Factor," the Daily Star quoted a source close to Cole as saying.

"She knows she will be scrutinised as she is not well known in the US."

"Cheryl has always had a complex about her legs and it is the one thing she would change if she could," the source added.

Cheryl may want JLo's legs, but it looks like there aren't many takers for her bootylicious behind!

It seems that a woman's greatest fear is a big bottom! That's why they often ask the question, 'does my bum look big in this?'

According to a new study, image-conscious women seek reassurance because it's one part of their anatomy they can never really see for themselves.

Over half the 1,800 women questioned in a survey on behalf of Wizard Jeans said they worried more about their posteriors than about their breasts or their stomach.

"You only have to watch women trying on a new pair of jeans to see that their prime concern is always the bit they can't really see for themselves -- their bums. They twist and turn in front of the mirror but then, inevitably, ask for reassurance," the Daily Express quoted fashion expert Sally Allen of Wizard Jeans, as saying.

Earlier, most women used to try every possible thing to avoid grey hair, but it's no longer the case.

In fact, a fashionable few are embracing the once objectionable colour.

Driven by celebrities from Kelly Osbourne to Pink, Lady Gaga and Ruby Rose, the demand is increasing for grey and lilac hues previously reserved for the affectionately-termed "blue rinse brigade" elderly women who tint their hair blue-grey.

"I think the nanna rinse is a great way to explain it," the Courier Mail quoted Oscar stylist Leigh Angus as saying of the trend.

"It's really bringing in blue and the pastel violet, but pink pastel shades are very popular as well."

"We definitely have a lot of people asking for those really icy colours," she added.
