The Armani and Dior Paris Fashion Week shows brought out some classy dressed ladies like the always impeccably dressed Diane Kruger. Also looking her best was Dita Von Teese who announced her latest venture in lingerie yesterday. The burlesque beauty will be designing for Wonderbra. Great natural extension of the Dita brand. Also present was the practically unrecognizable Ellen Pompeo. She is making the most of her time off from the strike, which will hopefully be ending very soon!

Celebs headed to Germany for the 2007 Bambi Awards in Düsseldorf this evening. Katie Holmes' shocking new hair was the excitement of the red carpet, but back to that in a second. Eva Longoria, who accepted the award for Best International TV Series, looked old Hollywood glam. Meanwhile Rihanna decided to get crazy with her streaked hair and leopard print dress. She and Bon Jovi were among the musical acts who performed during the show. Katie was there to support Tom, who was presented with the "courage" award for taking risks with his movies, particularly Valkyrie. We're not quite sure if Katie got a haircut or decided to rock a wig for the event, but either way she is definitely getting style tips from Suri (and Anna Wintour). Bella wants to know what you think about her new look.

Now, it's not like I've trotted the globe trying all of the latest and greatest beauty treatments (although that would be a dream come true) but I have had the opportunity to try out some of the great imports that have crossed oceans to get to the United States. Below is a five post round-up filled with fun facts about global beauty—as well as my top picks for beauty products from Greece, France, Italy, China and Brazil. I hope you've enjoyed this series as much as I have.

I think the quality of sexiness comes from within. It is something that is in you or it isn't and it really doesn't have much to do with breasts or thighs or the pout of your lips. ~ Sophia Loren

Agree or disagree, ladies?
