Of course, my coverage of this event would not be complete without a gallery of models who walked the red carpet. (Here's why some big names didn't show up). Oh, and if you're looking for more model action, check out my slideshow of the big six models, full of "then and now" photos. Don't forget to vote on all of my Costume Institute Gala polls here!

Ladies Look Lovely In The Limelight At 2009 BAFTA Awards

PopSugarUK — Sun, 08 Feb 2009 20:25:22 -0800

Last night I made my way to Covent Garden for the 2009 BAFTA Awards held at the Royal Opera House, and watched from the red carpet as all the stars made their way inside to enjoy the ceremony. There was a fab mix of Hollywood A listers and burgeoning Brit talent out in the typically British rain, but luckily much of the red carpet was undercover, and brollies were being handed out to everyone as they arrived. Penelope Cruz rushed up the thick red carpet as fast as she could, but most of the other invited ladies like Meryl Streep and Amy Adams wandered leisurely.

Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt took their time, Freida Pinto was so excited to be there and looked absolutely stunning in her pale pink dress, Emma Watson spent time talking to fans, while Goldie Hawn beamed her famous smile at everyone who shouted her name. Sharon Stone and Karolina Kurkova wore dresses that matched the carpet, while Kate Winslet was telling everyone she was happy to be back at home representing her movies as her parents proudly looked on.

Don't forget to vote on whether you love or hate the ladies' looks, and check out all the winners. But to see many more images of all the fabulous females that took to the red carpet last night, just read more.

Navel Gazing at the VS Fashion Show

FitSugar — Sat, 22 Nov 2008 03:30:00 -0800

The annual Victoria's Secret fashion show always causes quite a stir. Alessandra Ambrosio impressed us all with her amazing post-baby body, having given birth to her daughter less than three months before the runway show. Amid the grandiose wings and sexy apparel, did anyone notice that Karolina Kurkova doesn't really have a belly button, but rather a smooth indentation in the middle of her midriff?

Karolina's lack of a belly button caught the attention of the BBC. They are reporting that the Czech model voted the world's sexiest woman by E!, has never explained her lack of a decidedly "innie" or "outie" navel except to explain through her agent that she "is not an alien."

To see how someone could lose her belly button, just read more.

There are a few medical reasons that could leave a person without a navel, but most often it is the result of a corrective surgery at birth for an umbilical hernia, or gastroschisis, a condition where the stomach and intestines poke through a hole in the abdominal wall. Adults may lose their belly buttons during stomach surgeries or skin grafts, and some adults even opt to have their navels surgically enhanced. It comes as no surprise that a model that makes millions a year for her body would occasionally have her belly button, or lack thereof, enhanced via photoshop onto her otherwise sublime abdomen.

Obviously, this small issue isn't hurting Karolina's career or her status. This is one of those small facts that remind us, even angels are not perfect.

Miami Slips Into Some Pink and Lingerie For VS Fashion Show

Molly — Mon, 17 Nov 2008 06:00:00 -0800

After celebrating the return of Fontainebleau in Miami on Friday, the stars returned to the famous resort on Saturday for the annual Victoria's Secret fashion show. The pink carpet was brimming with stars despite the location change, including one of our favorite bachelors Robert Buckley. Heidi Klum looked incredible in the lingerie and showed off her perfect abs when Usher took to the runway to perform.

All the angels looked spectacular as always, especially Alessandra Ambrosio who strutted her stuff just three months after giving birth like Heidi herself did not too many years ago. Adriana Lima got to wear the $5 million black diamond bra, which got Heidi talking about the economy. She said, "You always have to look forward even when times are bad. You have to look to the future." Speaking of Miss Klum, with Seal in the audience cheering her on, she was the finale of the show wrapped up in a giant bow. The show airs Dec. 3.

To see over 100 more photos from the show including Adriana Lima, Alessandra Ambrosio, Amanda Bynes, Aubrey O'Day, Christian Siriano, and many others, just read more.

How-To: Karolina Kurková's CFDA Hairstyle

BellaSugar — Tue, 03 Jun 2008 11:40:07 -0700

Last night at the CFDA Awards in New York City, the stunning model Karolina Kurková arrived with her hair back in a chic chignon that somehow managed not to look overly done. The look was created by Michel Aleman for Frédéric Fekkai, who was aiming to create something neat and sophisticated to enhance her natural beauty.

There were so many cool hairstyles at this event, don't you think? To find out exactly how Michel styled Karolina's hair and what products he used, read more.

STEP 1: Michel began by applying a generous amount of Coiff Bouffant Lifting and Texturizing Spray Gel to the roots of Karolina's hair to create volume and add lift. He then used the (amazing) Bespoke Labs T3 Featherweight Dryer to fully dry her hair while brushing it back away from her face.
STEP 2: Next, he parted her hair on the side and applied some Coiff Magnifique Ultra-Light Finishing Crème for added thickness and texture.
STEP 3: Then, he gathered all of her hair at the nape of her neck. He twisted it into the shape of the number eight, creating a version of the French twist. He pinned the hair in place using bobby pins while taking loose pieces around the back of her head to make the look seem more effortless and less constructed.
STEP 4: To make sure the hair would stay in place, he sprayed Fekkai Sheer Hold Hairspray all over, followed by a distant shot of cool air from the dryer to set the spray. Lastly, he lightly spritzed a little bit of Fekkai Glossing Shine Mist as a finishing touch.
