Snooki Shows Off Her Natural Beauty for V Magazine

Posted 5/8/12 11:16 am EST by Jessica C. Andrews in Magazines, MTV Stars

Don't mind us: we're just beaming with pride watching our Nicole 'Snooki' Polizzi grow up so beautifully. Our favorite pint-size Jersey Shore star took a moment out of her busy schedule (she has a baby on the way and is on the road to becoming Mrs. Jionni Lavalle!!) to pose for V Magazine. First of all, we have to say pregnancy looks great on her! In the feature, cleverly titled "Snook Who's Talking," Mama Meatball channels elegance and glamour in ravishing black and white photos. Instead of rocking her usual fun bronzer, foundation and eyeliner, Snooks goes for a minimalist makeup look that shows off her beautiful lashes and impeccably-structured brows.

Sure, there's a whole heap of celebrities with perfumes, but when it comes to The Fragrance Foundation's FiFi Awards, (self-described as "the Oscars of the fragrance industry") it separates the just so-so smells from the straight-up spectacular. They just released their finalist list, and, whew boy! We're excited to see how this fight goes down—our two faves Beyoncé and Justin Bieber are BOTH battling it out for the highly-esteemed title of Luxe Women's Fragrance of The Year. Justin Bieber's Someday perfume was an obvious hit in 2011—it dethroned Beyoncé's OTHER perfume Heat as the best-selling celebrity fragrance of all time, and Beyoncé debuted Pulse last fall, which also scooped up another nomination in the Best Packaging - Luxe Women category. Last year Marc Jacobs' Lola took home the coveted prize, but the Biebs and Bey are up against some stiff competition for 2011's title—Bottega Veneta, Prada Candy and Tom Ford's Violet Blonde are also in the running.

We're pretty sure we weren't the only ones whose hearts broke into a million pieces when we found out Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen were selling backpacks that cost a cool $39,000 (guys, this actually happened). Having professed our undying love for the Olsen twins since they ran around on the set of Full House in pigtails, we were distraught by the reality that we would never get our hands on an accessory designed by the super cool sisters with that kind of price tag. We got the chance to peruse their Elizabeth and James offerings and the more affordable items from The Row, but nothing quite tops our latest retail discovery: sunglasses designed by The Olsen twins for JCPenney's Olsenboye collection priced at a mere 15 bucks. SQUEAL!

After watching six seasons of Jersey Shore, we know how many routines of GTL go into keeping Sammi "Sweetheart" Giancola's golden glow and tight tummy in their perennially perfect state. But this latest swimwear sighting is prettttty epic. Sammi rocked a string bikini that's so mega on-trend it gives Snooki's metallic swimsuit and JWOWW's Filthy Couture bikinis a run for their money. From the color to the bold print, we could totally see ourselves getting our tan on in this string bikini. It comes in a neon green hue, AND it boasts a sexy zebra print that we all know is a Jersey favorite. The Joe Boxer Women's Tigress neon and zebra print top and bottom retail for only $19 a piece (!!!) at Kmart.com. In other words, it will cost you a mere $38 to channel Sammi's fierce-ness at the pool this summer. Be sure to rock it with killer abs (well, we can dream), a golden tan and heavy liner on your lids because, duh, that's what Sammi would want, guys.

We are suckers for eccentricities (hello, we're obsessed with eyeball nail art!) and that makes us Nicki Minaj's Barbies by default. As such, we join the ranks of Barneys' creative ambassador Simon Doonan, who even admitted in his brilliant interview with HB (that's Head Barbz for all you new Nicki fans) that he watches the video "Stupid Stupid," on repeat. He then proceeds to quiz her Minajesty on everything from her fave fash icons to Anna Wintour! We got our hands on the interview and trust us, her answers will make you love her even more.

MAC Cosmetics Announces Marilyn Monroe Collection

We just got wind of the best beauty news we've heard in decades—MAC Cosmetics will draw inspiration from the legendary Marilyn Monroe for its next collection! The blonde bombshell was only one of the most desirable women of the 20th century and has been the subject of countless biographies, movies, and photo shoots. Though long overdue, the limited-edition collection will pay homage to the fair-haired muse with eye shadows, lipsticks, eyeliners, and nail polishes. Priced from $15 to $27, the 30-piece line will launch at MAC locations nationwide in October. The timing couldn't be more perfect because it gives us several months to shop for a billowing white dress, practice Marilyn's deep, breathy voice, and perfect our sexiest pouts. If the makeup can make us look anything like Michelle Williams (who was a DEAD RINGER for Marilyn Monroe on the cover of GQ), we'll be first in line!

It's no surprise that Keds are making a serious comeback. Proof: Alexis Krauss of the supercool Brooklyn duo Sleigh Bells religiously rocks Keds (um, have you seen their latest music video?) and the canvas tie-ups are even featured on the band's new album cover, Reign of Terror, which hits stores today. We're so excited to announce that Keds are teaming up with Madewell for a limited-edition sneaker collection, so Lex Krauss (as we affectionately call her) and every sneaker lover worldwide can rejoice at the endless possibilities these colorful kicks can bring to their ensembles.

Kelly Osbourne is giving all kinds of rock star royalty AMAZINGNESS in her latest shoot with photographer Brooke Nipar for Lovecat magazine. Of course we already knew Kelly was a hottie, but we had no clue those killer curves and rock-hard abs were hiding underneath her red carpet gowns. In case you youngins were unaware, Kelly was the reality TV family rebel waaay before Khloe Kardashian, and she doesn't care who knows it. Exhibit A? Her purplish gray hair. Have you ever seen Grandma-inspired strands paired with the sexiest of bad girl, barely there metallics? Also, Kelly's skintight latex Syren skirt makes us want-slash-NEED the number of her trainer, stat. We'll also take those fierce Mercura sunglasses and that to-die-for silver Jeremy Scott bra she's rocking, please and thank you. Ms. Kelly tops the outfit off with a spectacular Brian Litchenberg vest, Alexis Bittar bangles, and a red-lipped pout. Guys, she is serving. And get this: As scintillating as Kelly Osbourne is, she says she doesn't even know what sexy means. Um, what?

Sitting front row at New York Fashion Week, you can't help but imagine which gowns might end up on which stars on the red carpet. Every stunning ball gown that catches your eye, you envision on anyone from Rihanna to Taylor Swift then secretly get excited when the gown actually does hit the award show circuit, just like you predicted (trust us, it's better than betting on a team for the Superbowl). For his fall 2012 collection, Zac Posen gave us a myriad of spell-bounding gowns that would be befitting of a Hollywood star, with a royal blue printed number practically made for, say, Reese Witherspoon at Cannes and a red mermaid stunner that Jennifer Lopez could bring to life. Zac Posen's dramatic eveningwear, from the sweeping hems to the decadent satin fabric, looked like it should come complete with a sea of paparazzi and flashing lightbulbs.

Diane Von Furstenberg Taps Into Her Sexy Side For Fall 2012

Guys, has Diane von Furstenberg been listening to LMFAO's "Sexy And I Know It?" She got all mysterious and sexy on us for fall 2012—and we're talking bare shoulder, plunging neckline, front slit kind of sexy. The fashion wunderkind designer has made a name making wrap dresses a staple in every stylish woman's wardrobe, finding fans in everyone from Rachel Zoe (who sat front row) to The City's Whitney Port. But this time, Diane von Furstenberg traded in the feminine office-friendly look for a dash of subtle sexiness, invoking a sense of come-hither mystery with a parade of vibrant cocktail dresses and smoldering gowns down the runway. Her wrap dresses took a backseat to resplendent color-drenched separates and bold, printed jumpsuits with daring halter necklines. The impetus for all this sassiness? A rendezvous with a dashing gentleman (hmm, we're thinking... Alexander Skarsgård or David Beckham, pre-marriage) that Diane von Furstenberg imagined as "a meeting with suspense and expectation." So...if you're now daydreaming of being chased by the lover of your dreams who just happens to be completely OBSESSED with you, you're right on target for DVF's latest inspiration.
