Which popstar has stripped for a mag cover? Which supermodel is doling out lifestyle advice?
Here's the lowdown on the latest fashion news!
'Ageing' Pamela Anderson's steamy lingerie pictures appear 'airbrushed'
Looks like age is catching up with former Playboy model Pamela Anderson, as she appeared to be airbrushed in a new photoshoot for lingerie company Bonita De Mas .
Although the photographs showed Anderson with very taut, clear skin and without a hint of cellulite, other more natural pictures have shown that she does suffer from the dreaded orange peel.
However, the 43-year-old model-turned-actress was not afraid to flaunt her body -- the new images showed the former Baywatch babe in a variety of poses in revealing lingerie.
Pamela, who is currently starring in the Argentinian version of Dancing With The Stars also exposed her perfectly shaped legs in the photoshoot.
The bombshell had credited her two sons Brandon, 15, and Dylan, 13, with helping keep her trim.
"My kids keep me in shape. I play every sport with them -- football, basketball, baseball," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying earlier.
"I'm always outside and on the beach and in the water and I'm not a real gym person."
"I don't do the gym and I don't diet. I'm vegetarian but I don't diet," she had added.
Vanessa Hudgens poses in two-piece innerwear
The 22-year-old model was seen portraying a domestic goddess, ironing her clothes in the purple and pink lingerie and blowing bubble gum in the sexy shoot.
Hudgens showed off her tanned and toned figure, which was accentuated by a pair of suede high heels.
In another pic, the singer was seen slipping on a pair of tiny shorts and pink strapless top.
Modelling a pair of towering navy suede pumps, Hudgens also posed seductively on a hotel luggage trolley laden with pink suitcases, wearing a pair of jeans and a pink bandeau.
And in yet another another photo, the actress appeared to be shopping, slipping into a floral mini-skirt, grey knitted top and charcoal heels for the occasion.
Vanessa said she had a ball shooting the colourful campaign.
"I had such a great time shooting the Candie's campaign, it's all about having fun and learning life lessons according to Candie's," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
"I love Candie's because they have so many great pieces you can mix into your wardrobe. My style is very similar to the Candie's girl style in a sense where we just want to have fun," she added.
Christina Aguilera poses nude for fashion mag
In more eyebrow-raising news, Christina Aguilera, who has stripped off for the cover of a fashion magazine, looks surprisingly svelte -- thanks to skillful airbrushing.
She was seen covering her modesty with only a piece of white silk and a bunch of red roses in the cover photo for W Magazine, reports the Daily Mail.
The singer, who has gained a fuller figure in recent months appeared to look slimmer than her real-life self in the photographs.
It is being speculated that a few strokes of the airbrush may have helped Aguilera achieve her slimmer look.
In another photo, the 30-year-old star wore a Dior silk chiffon dress and Chopard jewellery.

Kim Kardashian feels sexiest after leaving gym!
Maybe you should take Heidi's exercise advice. Kim Kardashian has revealed that she feels the sexiest after a session in the gym.
The 30-year-old socialite, who recently got engaged to basketball star Kris Humphries, has admitted that working out has always made her feel better about herself.
"I'm at my sexiest right after I leave the gym. I always feel so good, I also like being glammed up, though," Contactmusic quoted her as telling more! Magazine.
The brunette beauty also said that confidence has been the key to her sexiness and that people should not worry too much about their flaws.
"Confidence is sexy. If someone is really insecure, they can come across as really unsure of themselves," she said.
"And if you have body issues, it can roll over into your work and the rest of your life. I think confidence is just the sexiest thing," she added.
World's sexiest woman Rosie Huntington-Whiteley can't stop eating!

Playboy's latest edition features Hugh Hefner's runaway bride!
Like adding fuel to the fire, the new issue of Playboy Magazine featuring Hugh Hefner's former fiance Crystal Harris has hit the shelves just hours after the pair called off their wedding.
In a humiliating blow to the 85-year-old mogul, the cover features the tag line 'Introducing Mrs Crystal Hefner', and brands her "America's Princess", reports the Daily Mail.
The pair was set to tie the knot at the famed Playboy Mansion on Saturday in front of 300 guests, but the wedding was officially called off on Tuesday amid claims that former Playmate Crystal, 25, had been cheating on the magazine founder.
Now the July 2011 issue -- which features a semi-naked Crystal on the cover wearing Hef's trademark sailor's cap and smoking a pipe -- is likely to become a collector's item.
It was too late to stop shipment of the publication after Tuesday's surprise announcement, sources said. But in typical inimitable style, Hefner has made a joke of being dumped days before his wedding -- labelling the magazines with a large sticker saying 'Runaway Bride In This Issue!'.
'Recent events call for a special sticker on the July cover. Look for it on newsstands,' Hefner posted on Twitter.
Inside the magazine, blonde Crystal poses nude in a seven-page spread as she claims in a glowing tribute to her former boyfriend: "I'm happier now than I've ever been in my whole life."
Also inside the magazine is an advert for Jack Daniel's whiskey, congratulating the happy couple.
It reads: "A toast to your new honey from our new honey. Congratulations Hef and Crystal."
Angelina Jolie goes 'makeup free' as new face of Louis Vuitton!
Ending months of speculation of "is she or isn't she," images released on Tuesday have finally revealed Angelina Jolie as the new face for Louis Vuitton's 'Core Values' campaign.
Shot by famed photographer Annie Leibovitz, the first image features Jolie sans makeup and footwear, reclining on a wooden boat in Cambodia -- the country she fell in love with, and adopted her son Maddox from, after the filming of Lara Croft: Tomb Raider there in 2000, reports the Telegraph.
"People are not used to seeing Angelina in this situation," Vuitton's executive vice president, Pietro Beccari, told WWD.
"I like the fact that it's a real moment. This travel message we give through personal journeys is a fundamental one for the brand."
Beccari declined to comment on rumours that Jolie was paid in the region of 10 million dollars for her time, but did disclose that she had elected to donate a significant slice of her fee to a charity.
Megan Fox lends face for Armani's cosmetics
While Angie is makeup-free for Vuitton, her doppelganger is slapping it on! It has emerged that Megan Fox has lent her looks to Armani's cosmetics after promoting the brand's undergarment range last year.
The stunning actress is seen clutching a lipstick as she pouts seductively in the one-frame cosmetic advertisement.
In another, she appears with her hair scraped back to reveal a more natural look, and in the rest of the images, her locks take centerstage.
The brunette beauty posed with one hand resting on her chin in one shot and the other saw her obscuring one blue eye with her hair.
Fox took over from Victoria Beckham as the face of Armani Jeans and Emporio Armani Underwear last year.
"Megan's young and sexy with a lot of spirit," the Sun quoted designer Giorgio Armani as saying at the time. "Emporio Armani Underwear and Armani Jeans are all about a youthful attitude, so she's the perfect choice for collections."
'Watch' out for Cameron Diaz!
Adding another feather to her cap, Cameron Diaz has signed on to be the new spokesmodel of luxury watch brand Tag Heuer.
The Charlie's Angels star will now be endorsing the Swiss timepiece company's products, as per the lucrative deal.
"Cameron doesn't do many endorsements, so the company thinks she will make a big splash," Contactmusic quoted a source as telling Eonline.com
Hollywood biggies like Leonardo DiCaprio and Tiger Woods have been 'brand ambassadors' for Tag Heuer in the past.
Emma Watson clinches first US Vogue cover at 21
Emma Watson has stepped into the adult glamour world by bagging her first American Vogue cover.
The 21-year-old Harry Potter actress, who continues to etch her name as a style icon, graced the July issue of the American style bible, headed by editor-in-chief Anna Wintour.
Her flawless skin was accentuated by a slick hairstyle, which was scarped back, as Mario Testino photographed her in sophisticated creations by designers Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen, Prada, Calvin Klein and Dolce & Gabbana.
In the interview, she talked about her deliberate championing of emerging designers such as Erdem and Hakaan.
"I thought if people are going to write about what I'm wearing, then I would wear young British designers who need the publicity," the Telegraph quoted her as saying.
Jessica Simpson to star in new fashion reality show

The show, hosted by supermodel Elle MacPherson, will follow 14 fashion-savvy contestants as they battle to win a multi-million-dollar contract to launch their own fashion label in three of the country's largest retailers.

Liz Hurley steals the thunder at charity gala
Actress Elizabeth Hurley sparkled at a charity gala dinner in London, but her boyfriend Shane Warne was nowhere to be seen.
Instead the mother-of-one attended with shoe designer Patrick Cox, reports the Daily Mail.
Other girls who stole the glamour of the evening were actress Holly Valance and model Sophie Dahl, who landed up with their respective men.
While Hurley opted for a grey Roberto Cavalli dress, Patrick Cox shoes and a Jimmy Choo bag, Valance looked stunning in a navy blue full-length dress with beaded detailing along the neckline and at the waist.
The event was the 10th anniversary gala dinner of the charity Absolute Return for Kids (ARK), co-founded in 2002 by financier Arpad Busson, who hosted the evening.
I was kinda large in my childhood: Jennifer Aniston
Jennifer Aniston has revealed that during her childhood she was 'kinda large'.
The 42-year-old Hollywood actress admitted in an interview with Marie Claire Magazine that as a child, her frame was on the larger side, especially when she was an extra on her dad John Aniston's soap opera Search For Tomorrow.
"When I was 12, I asked him if I could get a part on his show," the Daily Mail quoted her as saying.
"I wore a yellow skating outfit, and I was kinda large. It's hard to look good in yellow and I certainly did not," she added.
Now, 3-D printed bikinis to custom fit every curve!
For the first time ever, designers have created bikinis made from 3-D printers which could adapt to fit every woman's curves perfectly.
The world's first 3-D printed two-piece, called the 'N12 bikini', is made of small nylon discs that are held together by thread-like springs.
Shapeways used their 3-D printing technology to create the material for the designers and called it Nylon 12, which is "ideal swimsuit material as it is innately waterproof", and this is where the ultimate custom fit 3-D bikinis got its name from.
"Thousands of circular plates are connected by thin strings, creating a wholly new material that holds its form as well as being flexible," Discovery News quoted the designers Jenna Fizel and Mary Haung of Continuum Fashion as saying.
"The layout of the circle pattern was achieved through custom written code that lays out the circles according to the curvature of the surface. In this way, the aesthetic design is completely derived from the structural design," they added.
