Cowboy Hats and Blonde Ladies Lead the Way at the AACMA

PopSugar — Mon, 19 May 2008 07:05:00 -0700

Last night Kenny Chesney was declared the Entertainer of the Year for the fourth year in a row at the 43rd Annual Academy of Country Music Awards in Vegas. Garth Brooks was also back in the limelight to receive the first-ever Crystal Milestone Award for his outstanding achievements. Performer Keith Urban didn't need a trophy to make him gush. The father-to-be expressed his excitement showing off Nicole's growing baby bump on the red carpet. Top new female vocalist, Taylor Swift got real wet with a chilling performance of "Should've Said No" where she was singing and dancing while water poured down on her. Winner for best female vocalist Carrie Underwood not only looked gorgeous in her many outfits, but she also showed her chic geeky side playing with the hottest new toy she plays on her tour bus - I gotta get me one of those.

For images of the performances from Taylor, Carrie, Kenny and more as well as lots of red carpet beauties, just read more.

Stars Flock to the Very Sexy Super Bowl Bash

Molly — Mon, 04 Feb 2008 10:00:42 -0800

They may not have been able to score tickets to the big game, but I'm sure the lucky folks at the Victoria's Secret What Is Sexy Party at Super Bowl XLII in Scottsdale, Ariz., had a blast anyway. Grey's ladies Katherine Heigl and Kate Walsh enjoyed each other on the red carpet, where the new Mrs. Josh Kelley really sexed it up in that red number. I guess Katherine and Josh weren't named Sexiest Newlyweds (not to mention her most desirable status) for nothing. Of course, it wouldn't be a VS party without some Angels, who didn't show any team alliances (or with their former fellow-winged-one Gisele) in their LBDs. Blake Lively also kept it simple in black with her cute red shoes -not really standard Super Bowl party attire, but when you're doing it Victoria's Secret style I guess the T-shirt and jeans doesn't really cut it.

Karolina Kurkova On Life After a $13 Mil Diamond Bra

FabSugar — Fri, 28 Dec 2007 07:00:22 -0800

She started out as the face of Prada at 16 and moved on to front Chanel, YSL, and Gucci campaigns. Most recently, we've seen Karolina Kurkova on the Victoria's Secret runway, where two years ago she wore a $13 million diamond bra.

But KK took some time off from her Victoria's Secret duties to pose for the February Elle UK cover where she reveals that she's nicknamed Karolina Coca-Cola, and gives us the dirt on what else she's been up to. Here are the highlights:

On throwing mobile phones at assistants, Naomi Campbell-style: "I don't even have an assistant! And I don't tend to beat people up!"
On her 2007 movie debut: "My Sexiest Year is set 1970s Florida. I play a character who's a stereotype of a supermodel. I took what I'd learned from watching people through the years and I had fun with it. My character is very sarcastic."
On model-actresses: "Lots of great actresses began as models . . . Cameron Diaz, Julia Roberts, Grace Kelly. And the two jobs complement each other. Modeling makes you aware of your body and face, the light, the clothing. It helps you start to get into character."

Model of the Week: Karolina Kurková

BellaSugar — Wed, 19 Dec 2007 08:00:29 -0800

If the Jolly Green Giant had a gorgeous daughter, it would probably be Czech model Karolina Kurkova. I'm of above-average height, but she's so tall that I felt about as short as Milo while interviewing her. She's been on the covers of Vogue, Vanity Fair, and The Face among other magazines. But these days, she's best known as one of the Victoria's Secret Angels. I've interviewed her before, but we had lots to talk about this time around-so read on to find out how she keeps her skin and hair healthy.

What do you do to keep your skin so clear?
I try to steam everyday. I drink a lot of water. And then I use the Victoria's Secret Bare Bronze tinted moisturizer to give me a little bit of glow. So I don't need to lay in the sun. I guess laughing. I think laughing and having a good attitude gives you that glow. That would be my secret.

For more of the interview, plus a photo gallery, read more.
Do you stay out of the sun, or are you a sun worshiper?
I love the sun but I hate tanning for hours. I get bored, I can't deal. I need to move around. So I like to be in the sun but I have to be active. I can't just lay and bake for hours. I just can't do that. And it's also not so healthy for you. A little bit of glow is good, but too much sun isn't good for your skin. It ages you, it really does.

So since you have to have your hair done all the time, how do you keep your hair healthy?
I try to not wash it every day because it washes out the natural oils. But of course if I'm working every day, yeah, I have to. Unfortunately, in our world, we have our hair blown out and styled almost every day. It's really hard.

One last question: At what point in your life did you feel beautiful?
Probably when I started modeling. I kind of started to understand my body and myself, and starting to appreciate that. Because growing up, I was very different, I was very-people always used to look at me and point at me because I was very tall and very long. I was different, so I wasn't very comfortable with the way I looked. So definitely through modeling and being in front of the camera and people, I got my confidence. I'm actually okay, it's okay to be different. And you have to really learn how to love yourself and accept yourself for who you are. Otherwise you'll drive yourself crazy because you won't ever be happy. Everyone always has something: "Oh, I don't like this or I wish I had that." Like, I always say I wish I had really curly hair, but I have straight hair. But, you know, you have to really appreciate what you have.

D&G Celebrates New Smell With MM, Kate and Mischa

Molly — Wed, 05 Dec 2007 12:30:00 -0800

Matthew McConaughey cleaned up real nice (just like a good spokesmodel should) for the launch of Dolce & Gabbana's new fragrance at the Gramercy Park hotel in NYC last night. It certainly didn't hurt that he had his gorgeous girlfriend Camila Alves on his arm. Also out to celebrate the scent were starlets like Anne Hathaway and a stylish Mischa Barton (where has she been?). Kate Hudson was also in the house to support her Fool's Gold costar's new modeling deal, but rather than bring out another new coat for the event she repeated the white fur number to go with her gray ankle booties. All it takes is a shower, a shave, and a fancy suit to remind me how hot MM can be (sigh, A Time To Kill), but has his grungy beach running/general dirtiness ruined him forever for you?

Things Get Spicy At the VS Fashion Show

PopSugar — Fri, 16 Nov 2007 08:59:01 -0800

Heidi looked flawless walking the pink carpet before joining her fellow Angels and stripping down to lingerie at the 12th annual Victoria's Secret Fashion Show last night. As expected all of the models looked absolutely stunning in their Christmas-themed underwear, but it was the Spice Girls who stole the show with their very first reunion performance. The ladies went for a military theme to perform Stop and then went went old Hollywood glam for their new single Headlines. We're sure everyone in the house was feeling Kanye's absence, but Will.i.am subbed in at the last minute. Plus, Heidi joining Seal for a duet during his performance looks like a sweet treat.

Tons more pics of all the models looking gorgeous in their different costumes and underwear plus more of the Spice Girls on stage so just read more

Gold Stars All Around for The Angels

Molly — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 23:53:37 -0800

The Victoria's Secret Angels ditched their pink aviator jackets and went for some shiny gold starred ones to celebrate their honorary star on the Walk of Fame yesterday afternoon before going on a shopping spree at (where else) Victoria's Secret. The girls - Heidi Klum, Karolina Kurkova, Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, and Selita Ebanks - reveled in their blindingly pink and gold setting just days before taking to the catwalk in the newest and greatest underwear VS has to offer. If Angel veteran Heidi Klum is getting sick of going through the motions, you wouldn't know it by her excitement about posing with a loaf of bread. Literally. Fab, Bella and I are getting excited to head down to LA for Thursday's big show so definitely stay tuned for all the fun!

Model of the Week: Karolina Kurkova

BellaSugar — Wed, 07 Mar 2007 12:21:22 -0800

Welcome to the fifth installment of Model of the Week. I've written a five question interview that I have conducted with several models to share with you. The questions are both fun and beauty related and will always stay the same. To see the rest of the Model of the Week posts click here.

Here's a little history about Karolina Kurkova. She was born on February 28, 1984 in Decín, Czech Republic. She was discovered when an admiring friend sent some pictures of her to a modeling agency in Prague. She immediately booked a runway show, a commercial, an ad campaign and then traveled to Milan to explore the international world of fashion.

It was in Milan where she met Miuccia Prada who signed her to a Prada contract at the tender age of 15. She then met Vogue editors in NY, where she now lives.

Karolina has signed deals with: Yves Saint Laurent, Victoria's Secret, Tommy, Valentino, Ralph Lauren, Oscar de la Renta and Balenciaga.

She is one of the most renowned models in the world. In 2001, she graced the cover of Vogue and in 2002 she was granted the "Model of the Year" title at the 2002 VH1/Vogue Fashion Awards.

She is quite accustomed to fame though. Her Dad is Josef Kurka - a former star basketball player. There is a reason this beauty has become a shining star. She is sweet, down to earth, driven and extremely articulate. Best of luck to you Karolina!

BELLA: What is your secret to beautiful skin and hair?
KK: I have a steam shower in my apartment, so I steam my face everyday. For my hair, I swear by Victoria's Secret So Sexy Nourishing Shampoo for Dry/Damaged Hair, $9.50, and Victoria's Secret So Sexy Nourishing Conditioner for Dry/Damaged hair, $9.50. It smells so good and it gives my thin hair a lot of volume.

BELLA: What is the one product you can't live without?
KK: Victoria's Secret Very Sexy Makeup - Perfect Lipstick in Whisper, $12. It's a pinkish brown color - I love it.

BELLA: What is your guilty pleasure?
KK: Sweets. I really like chocolate and One Lucky Duck RAW Ice Cream in chocolate, strawberry or vanilla. It's dairy free, made from cashews and coconut meat - so it doesn't upset my stomach and it tastes delicious.

BELLA: What is your favorite drugstore product?
KK: Zip lock bags. If I don't have them in my house, I go nuts. I like to be organized and those zip locks really keep me organized; especially when I travel. I keep my makeup, jewelry, lingerie...everything in them!

BELLA: Happiness is...
KK: Being healthy, being alive! I feel really lucky to have family and friends - so it makes me happy to spend my time with them.

Victoria's Secret Launches Secret Embrace and BellaSugar Was There!

BellaSugar — Thu, 01 Mar 2007 12:38:11 -0800

Yesterday I was lucky enough to attend the exciting Victoria’s Secret launch for their Five New Secret Embrace Bras. The event took place at the huge two-floor VS store in NYC where four of the gorgeous Victoria's Secret Angels, Karolina Kurkova, Alessandra Ambrosio, Izabel Goulart, and Selita Ebanks, were in attendance.

Not only did I get to meet the models, but also I was able to speak with each of them one on one. Talk about nerve racking! However, once I got started I realized that I had no reason to be intimidated - these women were nothing but sweet, articulate and professional.

The event began with a photo op of the models in their designated colors followed by a move upstairs where interviews and autograph signings took place. It ended with a song, strawberry cake and champagne, in celebration of Karolina Kurkova's birthday.

The bras range in price from $42-$51 and after feeling them, I can't wait to get one. You may remember me mentioning it in my recent post about Oscars swag, but if not, they are one single piece of fabric that is: seam free, tag free and stitch free. When they are on, they look and feel invisible.

The bras are currently available in stores and online in an assortment of Spring colors in sizes 32A-38DD, depending on style and color.

As you all know, I have been conducting exclusive model interviews for my Model of the Week feature. Stay tuned for more exciting coverage of these Angels in weeks to come where only on FabSugar can find we find out their guilty pleasures, secrets to beautiful hair, skin...and more!
