Blake Lively is twice as nice for Gucci Premiere advert

Actress Blake Lively's new Gucci campaign has been leaked, bringing on a slight case of deja-vu.

Blake Lively for Gucci Premiere

Only 10 days ago, Gucci announced that it had signed up 'Gossip Girl' star Blake Lively to front the campaign for its new couture-inspired scent, Gucci Première. And already, someone has leaked the images, revealing a smoldering Lively in her backless sequin gown clad glory.

Captured by fashion photography duo Mert and Marcus, the black and white ad reeks of Old Hollywood glamour - an aesthetic which was very much key to Gucci.

Named after Gucci's couture line, Gucci Première is a scent for a woman "living her moment, whether it's on the red carpet or at a private dinner", according to the brand's creative director, Frida Giannini.

The new scent is set to launch first in the UK at the end of the month exclusively at Harrods and Selfridges before going on general sale in September.

Blake Lively for Chanel

Last year, the 24-year-old was photographed by Karl Lagerfeld for Chanel's Mademoiselle handbag campaign, resulting in an advert which also showed a reflection of Lively. 

It seems the camera can’t get enough of Blake… and neither can we!!

Chanel names bag after Karl Lagerfeld's cat, Choupette

Remember when our FG10 post on Karl Lagerfeld's cat Choupette?? Well.... 'New York Times' journalist Cathy Horyn tweeted that she had just seen the "Choupette bag" in Chanel's Paris studio yesterday.

There's nothing new about creating a handbag inspired by your muse - Mulberry do it every season, Hermès created one in honour of Grace Kelly and another for Jane Birkin - and now Chanel are following suit, except their muse is more feline than female style icon.

That's right, it seems Choupette - the fluffy white kitten belonging to Chanel's creative director Karl Lagerfeld - has bagged herself a namesake in the form of a sure-to-be must-have bag.

New York Times journalist Cathy Horyn paid a visit to Chanel's Paris HQ yesterday and tweeted that she had just seen the "Choupette bag" and it was "knitted" and "soft".

Gary Oldman In "modeling" Love for Prada

British actor Gary Oldman reveals why modelling for Miuccia Prada wasn't just for his sole benefit.

Back in January, British actor Gary Oldman played what is arguably his most unexpected role to date: a high-end fashion model. Along with highly-respected 'colleagues' Willem Dafoe, Tim Roth and Jamie Bell, Oldman, 54, cut a dash as he stepped out on to the Prada catwalk during Milan Men's Fashion Week.

"It was a gas, mainly because of Mrs Prada and her team, who are meticulous and treated me royally" he reveals.

Oldman has since gone back for seconds, agreeing to front the autumn/winter 2012 menswear campaign with Bell, Dafoe and Garrett Hedlund under the expert lens of fashion photographer David Sims

But the mustachioed actor lets slip that he had ulterior motives for working with Miuccia Prada and her team.

"My youngest, Charlie, wants to be a designer, so he's been lucky to meet Miuccia and be hanging out with the right people."
