I don’t usually feature models, but when I saw this pictures of the gorgeous Lakshmi Menon on the cover of the April 2009 edition of Dazed & Confused I was so wowed I had to share it.

The issue is called Divine Power, and that perfectly sums up the feeling I get from looking at Lakshmi on this cover wearing a Dolce & Gabbana Spring 2009 dress, with an array of necklaces, bangles, cuffs and earrings.

I’ve never purchased Dazed & Confused before, but this has inspired me to buy my first issue.

This editorial was styled by Nicola Formichetti.

Glamour US magazine is celebrating over 70 years of female American Icons, with a host of celebrities including Camilla Belle, Rumer Willis, America Ferrera, Chanel Iman, Hayden Panettiere and Alicia Keys.

Each one takes on a risk taker, rule breaker or a style maker.

Emma Roberts had the honour of representing Audrey Hepburn. In Emma’s shoot she wore a gorgeous voluminous Giambattista Valli Spring 2009 dress/coat.

The look is minus the ivory bows from the runway, which I think works better.

Emma said of Audrey, “She was so simply beautiful. And she loved charity work, something even more beautiful about her.”

Spencer Grammer and Rumer Willis were representing The Women of Woodstock. They both wore pieces from the Roberto Cavalli Spring 2009 collection, which had many hippy inspired pieces, so worked with the Woodstock theme.

“It’s an era that was so important because it was very much about natural beauty.” said Rumer Willis.

To see many other celebrities representing American Icons go to Glamour Magazine.

What can I say about Freida Pinto’s Vogue India March 2009 editorial, that has not been said already? I have totally run out of superlatives. This shoot just keeps getting better and better.

The Lanvin close-up is outstanding. I really love this lipstick on her.

You can read her full interview here and here.

Jennifer Aniston graces the cover of April 2009 edition of Elle UK.

The cover star looks relaxed wearing a Gucci vest and shorts, with her trademark slightly wavy hairstyle.

She has been traveling in Europe for the past week, promoting her hit movie Marley & Me co-star Owen Wilson, and she has been giving us touches of colour on the red carpet.

I have actually started to look forward to what she is going to wear next. The anticipation has finally made her interesting to watch, glow and make us forget about linking her with Brangelina.

Here are some extracts from her interview:

On her divorce: “No matter what I say, things will always be taken out of context and misinterpreted, will always be turned around to make it seem as though I won’t let something go, or that I just keep talking about it over and over. I don’t owe anybody anything. I don’t owe anybody my side of the story. There are no sides! There is no bad guy and there is no good guy. There are no villains and there is no heroine in this story. It’s just not the case.”

On her diet: “I’m a realist. I know that if I eat nothing but burgers and chips, I’m not going to be hired for the parts I normally would. That might be fine one day, but not right now.”

On being happy: “I remind myself every day that I am lucky. Look what’s out there. Look what people are really living through. There’s no comparison. I am happy.

On movie roles: “I get offered funny, quirky, pretty roles. I’d love to do an action movie. James Bond! Glamour! Daniel Craig! Sh*t-loads of fun!”

Oscar fever is over, but the Freida Pinto fever is still on. After her Vogue India cover, comes her Cosmopolitan March 2009 cover.

On the cover she wears a mini blue Blumarine Spring 2009 dress, which she wears as a one-shouldered dress, instead of strapless, as it appeared on the runway.

The Indian beauty reveals in her interview, that she went through who went through rounds of auditions for six months, before she landed her role in Slumdog Millionaire.

On her red carpet moments: “I’m just trying to enjoy it as much as I can, because it happens only once in a lifetime. It’s a blessing, and I need to learn to relish and savour each moment, so that’s what I’m doing. And, most importantly, breathe!!”

On acting: “In India, it’s hard to find a project because most of it is Bollywood, which is very exaggerated. Most of what they make is over-the-top escapist, and life isn’t always so escapist. I realized what I wanted to do was connect with people, not seem unattainable or untouchable.”

Freida also appears on the cover of Maxim India March 2009. Click here to see her editorial.

Leighton Meester is featured inside the pages of InStyle’s US March 2009 edition.

I don’t know about you, but I really dislike the make-up in this shoot.

All the looks are gorgeous and have a happy spring vibe to them, then that’s countered with a sullen looking Leighton.

In the video below, the Gossip Girl actress talks dresses, designers and fashion inspirations, which include her mum and Blair Waldorf herself.

I have found another picture of Freida Pinto for Vogue India March 2009.

This time she is wearing a lavender and aqua coloured Lanvin Spring 2009 bejeweled dress, with the black embellished runway shoes.

The Vogue cover emerged just hours after it was revealed that Freida is lined up to star in Woody Allen’s next film.

Allen moved quickly to secure the services of the 24-year-old actress, the latest in a long line of female muses featured in his films.

Freida will star alongside Josh Brolin, Naomi Watts and Anthony Hopkins in what will only be her second film.
