OHMYGOSSIP — Manolo Blahnik thinks the “maintenance” of a person’s appearance is imperative at all times.
The 75-year-old designer was born with the “mentality” to always make an effort with the way he looks regardless of how “busy” he is, and though he takes care in his looks and showers twice a day, the mogul has claimed he “never” makes a “big effort” to look “polished”.
Speaking to ElleUK.com, the creative mastermind said: “I was born with this mentality since a child. Maintenance is important even when you’re busy. In the morning I have a quick shower, then a shower at night. There’s never a big effort – I’ve never tried to be polished. If you have an old suit that’s many years old, you must send it to the cleaners every two weeks or so. That’s what you have to do. People have to pay more attention.”
But Manolo has admitted as he has got older he cares less about people’s opinions of him.
He said: “I couldn’t care less about what people think about me. When you reach a certain age, you don’t give a damn. I’m an old boy now. That’s the truth. Reputation, fame and being well-known, those things never entered my head. As long as I don’t kill people, then I’m happy with anything.”
The businessman both stars and is the subject of a new documentary ‘Manolo: The Boy Who Makes Shoes For Lizards’, but the star wished he was not seen in the production because he feels sick when he sees himself on screen, and he thinks he looks “huge” in the series after having cortisone injections in his body after he suffered a fall at his home and broke his diaphragm.
He explained: “I would have loved not to have been pictured in it. I broke my diaphragm after I fell over in my house, and the only way of treating it was with a course of cortisone and, well, I became huge. Each ankle was like a column. The neck was like somebody’s whole face.
“I wanted to be photographed just from the back, which [Michael] Roberts said he’d do, but it is what it is. I’m not happy with seeing myself on the screen. It makes me vomit. I don’t want to see my stupid face again.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Meghan Markle’s outfit she wore for a photocall following the news of her engagement sold out in one hour.

During their debut appearance as an engaged couple the ‘Suits’ actress donned a forest green dress from Milan-based fashion house P.A.R.O.S.H, which had a side bow detail on the waistline.
And according to The Blast Online the luxury garment, which retails for just under $500, has been highly sort after by fans of Meghan and the royal family and saw the garment snatched up in a record breaking 60-minutes.
It has been reported the fashion house are doing their utmost to re-stock the piece because it has been in such high demand within the last 24 hours.
The company are grateful Meghan donned their products, and they do not know how they can ever thank her for attracting attention to their collection.
A spokesperson for the label sad: “We are very excited… [trying] to understand how we could ever thank Meghan!”
Meghan also sported a chic white wrap coat from Toronto-based brand Line the Label, which was part of their Autumn/Winter capsule.
And the star finished off her simple yet elegant look with nude Matilde Crisscross Suede Aquazzura heels, which boast a 105mm platform and have an ankle strap, and retail for approximately $400.
Meghan – who has been dating the 33-year-old royal for over one year – also flaunted her glitzy engagement ring, which is made of three-stones; a larger central stone from Botswana – where the couple enjoyed a safari holiday in September – that is positioned between two diamonds taken from his late mother’s, Princess Diana, personal collection.
But that was not the only piece of stunning jewellery the star wore as she also donned a pair of Les Plaisirs de Birks 18 karat yellow gold earrings fitted with white opals in the centre, which fetch £850.

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicki Minaj wants people to feel the “holiday magic” from her H&M Christmas campaign.
The 34-year-old rapper portrays a mother in the brand’s festive commercial, and she hopes the clip will encourage “everyone in the world” to get into the festive spirit.
Speaking to Look magazine, she said: “I wish that everyone in the world could feel the same holiday magic that we created for this shoot.”
But for the ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker the best part of starring in the advert was working with photographer Tim Walker, who she has praised for having an “incredible vision” for the campaign.
Asked about her highlight when working on the project, she said: “It has to be working with the amazing photographer Tim Walker. He had such an incredible vision for the whole campaign – there’s always magic in the air during the holidays and he really brought it to life.”
Nicki also enjoyed acting alongside 36-year-old ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ actor Jesse Williams in the advert, who she has described as an “inspiring” figure because he is “so professional and natural” in front of the camera.
The ‘The Other Woman’ star continued: “He was so professional and natural that it didn’t feel like he was acting at all. This made him so inspiring to work with, and made the experience so much easier for me.”
And while Nicki wants audiences to enjoy her fantasy advert, she believes her own career resembles a fairytale too.
Speaking previously, she said: “If I had to describe [the past ten years], I would say ‘blessed’. Blessed and highly favoured, because the things that have happened to me have been once in a lifetime.
“I feel like it’s been a Cinderella story. Getting plucked out of Southside, Jamaica, Queens by the prince, Lil Wayne, and whisked away on a freaking magic pumpkin. I’m still in the magic pumpkin! I have to say it’s been magical. It’s been tough. It’s been emotional. I’ve had to deal with it all, negative and positive.
“But I know there are so many girls who would kill to have what I’ve experienced, so I have to take the good with the bad and be grateful. No matter what’s gone on the past ten years, I’m still here. I’m still here!”

OHMYGOSSIP — Giambattista Valli is set to launch an activewear line.
The 51-year-old designer – who founded his eponymous fashion house in 2005 – has partnered with the Pinault family to create a “functional” capsule, which will feature 50 to 60 pieces; from puffer jackets to sweatshirts and tracksuits, as well as swimwear, and will be unveiled in January 2018 and available to buy in June next year.
And the creative mastermind believes the new range will still remain “faithful” to the iconic styles of the brand.
Speaking about his latest venture, the Italian mogul told WWD: “It’s a capsule collection where we will express a more functional side of the brand, while remaining faithful to the atmosphere of contemporary chic that is part of its DNA.”
Giambattista is excited to introduce “new materials” to the company in the upcoming collection.
He explained: “I love the idea of introducing new materials to activewear by applying the house’s know-how in handling certain fabrics to this segment. It’s extremely Valli, extremely sophisticated, extremely luxurious — but on the other hand, today’s customer mixes Uniqlo with luxury brands.”
But the entrepreneur insists the forthcoming drop will not be a “secondary line”, as it will be integrated with other merchandise he created.
He said: “This is not a secondary line.
“We really want to develop the brand in every direction.”
Giambattista has admitted his latest venture is “just the start” of the brand’s development.
He said: “This is just the start.
“Over 12 years as an independent label, I created a niche for this house. It’s nice to be able to apply that formula, that magic, to products that are a little unexpected for the brand.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Mary J Blige was “afraid” to go make-up free for her role in ‘Mudbound’.
The 46-year-old singer was forced to ditch the cosmetic items for her role in the historical period drama, which sees her portray Florence Jackson in the movie, but the star was so fearful of going au naturel she “fought” with the creative team to keep her false eyelashes, long fingernails and wigs because she felt “really low”.
The ‘Family Affair’ hitmaker told Variety: “Florence came at a time when I was really low, feeling super insecure, not sure of my life, not sure of even who I was. I didn’t really realize that I was hanging onto so many things of the world that made me feel beautiful.
“I was fighting to keep lashes. I was fighting for fingernails, and fighting for wigs and things like that. And I just didn’t want to strip down, because I just was afraid.”
And the reason Mary was hesitant about baring all was because she wanted to be “beautiful”, and she thought such niceties would help her see that.
The ‘Just Fine’ singer – who filed for a divorce from her estranged husband Martin ‘Kendu’ Isaacs earlier this year – said: “I was struggling because I was going through some real heavy… things in my mind. And I wanted to be beautiful for someone. I wanted to be beautiful. I thought that these things made me beautiful to this person. So I was afraid to let it go because I was trying to save something that was already dead.”
Once Mary followed the advice of film director Dee Rees and scrapped the beauty products, she felt “really liberated” and realised her own “inner beauty”.
She explained: “Once I trusted [Rees] and let Florence live, she really liberated me. She really opened me up to my own inner beauty for real. Not what I thought I’d learn, but really truly who I am. And that none of this matters.
“Now I’m running around with my own edges out. I want to wear my own hair out. It is what it is. My forehead is what it is. My edges are what they are. The texture of my hair is what it is. The colour of my skin is what it is. I am what I am.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Serena Williams’ customised trainers for her wedding took “24 hours” to create.
The 36-year-old professional tennis player – who married Alexis Ohanian earlier this month – donned a pair of Nike Cortez trainers embellished with Swarovski to her marital ceremony, which took designer Michelle Meneses an entire day to create after being messaged by the sporting ace at midnight on evening.
Speaking to Vogue.com about her contribution to Serena’s ensemble for her Disney-themed bash, she said: “It took me literally 24 hours. She basically messaged me around midnight, and then I had this vision, and then I had the shoes at my front door.”
And Michelle worked solidly on the shoes until it was time to ship the item back to Serena.
She added: “I worked [nonstop] until the FedEx cutoff.”
Michelle has hinted Serena is a hard task master and “definitely pushes” her to “do [her] best” and create innovative pieces for her.
She added: “She definitely pushes me and inspires me to do my best.”
However, this was not the first time Serena – who has two-month-old son Alexis Jr. Olympia with her spouse – called upon Michelle for her styling expertise, as one year ago the creative mastermind added a special touch to Serena’s outfit she wore to a secret dance event, which is believed to occur every year between her and her 37-year-old sister Venus.
She explained: “Serena and I connected through our mutual love of dance a few years ago, and we had the same dance teacher. The teacher knew that I loved customising my own outfits and shiny everything, and so he spoke to Serena about me, and then she reached out.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Meghan Markle caused Line the Label’s website to crash as fans tried to purchase the outfit she wore at a photocall after news of her engagement was announced on Monday (27.11.17).
The 36-year-old actress and her 33-year-old fiancé Prince Harry posed for pictures at the White Garden – a memorial spot for the royal’s late mother Princess Diana – in the grounds of Kensington Palace this morning, just moments after it was confirmed the couple are taking their relationship to the next step.
During the appearance, the star donned a chic white wrap coat from the Toronto-based brand’s Autumn/Winter 2017 collection, which supporters were desperate to get their hands on.
And just moments after the couple made their debut appearance as an engaged couple, and details of Meghan’s attire were shared, the e-store went down.
Meghan paired the outfit with a forest green dress, with a side bow detail on the waistline, designer by a Milan-based fashion house P.A.R.O.S.H, which retails for just under $500.
The star finished off her simple yet elegant look with nude Matilde Crisscross Suede Aquazzura heels, which boast a 105mm platform and have an ankle strap, and retail for approximately $400.
Meghan – who has been dating the 33-year-old royal for over one year – also flaunted her glitzy engagement ring, which is made of three-stones; a larger central stone from Botswana – where the couple enjoyed a safari holiday in September – that is positioned between two diamonds taken from his late mother’s, Princess Diana, personal collection.
But that was not the only piece of stunning jewellery the star wore as she also donned a pair of 18 karat yellow gold earrings fitted with white opals in the centre.
And the Les Plaisirs de Birks items are retailed for a whopping £850.
The happy news was announced earlier today in a royal statement issued by the prince’s father, Prince Charles, when it was also revealed the wedding will take place next year.
It stated: “His Royal Highness, the Prince of Wales, is delighted to announce the engagement of Prince Harry to Ms. Meghan Markle.
“The wedding will take place in Spring 2018. Further details about the wedding day will be announced in due course.
“His Royal Highness and Ms. Markle became engaged in London earlier this month.”

The 37-year-old actress first released a range of contouring products and nude lip glosses to her eponymous label earlier this month, and after growing speculation as to whether she is expanding her line, she has finally taken to social media to announce Ultralight Beams highlighters and glosses will be added to her collection on Friday (01.12.17).

She captioned the post: “Ultralight Beams highlighters & glosses launching Dec 1st on KKWBEAUTY.COM (sic).”
Kim – who has North, four, and 23-month-old son Saint with her rapper husband Kanye West – has also shared the image on her Instagram Story, which lasts on the photo-sharing site for 24 hours.
Kim continued to reveal what is in store for customers as she uploaded a short clip of the cosmetic items in a box, which includes five metallic shades of highlighters and lip glosses, in copper, rose gold, gold, silver and bronze.
This clip was then followed by a string of videos of Kim on set shooting the commercial, including one video of Kim sitting on the floor, with one leg crossed over the other to cover her modesty.
Kim has had a busy few months as she launched a trio of scents, titled Crystal Gardenia, Crystal Gardenia Citrus and Crystal Gardenia, to KKW Fragrance earlier this month, which saw all of the merchandise sell out in six days.
The American star has since been working with the factory to create a new batch of perfumes, which have been restocked.

OHMYGOSSIP — Stella McCartney enjoys the “challenge” of creating cruelty free products.
The 46-year-old fashion designer – who is set to receive the Special Recognition Award for Innovation at the 2017 British Fashion Awards on December 4 – thinks it is “extraordinary” people are finally accepting her refusal to use certain materials, such as leather and fur, in her brand, but she is enjoying finding alternative fabrics.
Speaking to Vogue.co.uk, the creative mastermind – who launched her eponymous brand in 2001 – said: ” I think it’s very encouraging that the British Fashion Council are looking at this and that they’re starting a new award around this.
“It’s extraordinary that I started this conversation a long time ago and now it’s in the room and people are engaged and people aren’t angry or dismissive. Now they’re actually OK to pay some attention to that. There’s never been any other way. I find one of the most satisfying parts of it, even today, is that 90 per cent of my costumers don’t have a clue that I’m not using animal products in what I do. There is no point of me designing something that is going to become landfill, so you know, the design is the thing that comes first.
“We find the challenge exciting here. We just worked with a company called Bolt from San Francisco that grow silk thread in laboratory, so they are not killing any silk worms and I find that extraordinary.”
However, Stella is conscious not to “ram” her views “down people’s throat”, as she does not want to make the public feel “guilty” if they do not share the same views as her, although she thinks being eco-friendly is “the future of fashion”.
She explained: “I love that side of the industry. It’s the future of fashion – the fact that we can use less water, less energy, use our land, our resources and the planet’s resources in a more efficient way I think it’s fascinating and I think it’s the only way forward.
“We don’t want to ram it down people’s throat, we don’t want to make people feel bad, it’s not about guilt, it’s about enjoyment.
“I think people want to reconnect with the more important things, I think we’re craving that.”
And though Stella does not want to be too forceful in her beliefs, she does think the fashion industry is the “second most harmful industry”.
She said: “I think every business has to be more responsible. The fashion industry is the second most harmful industry to the environment.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Kim Kardashian West is believed to be launching more KKW Beauty cosmetic items.
The 37-year-old television personality launched her eponymous make-up brand earlier this year, which saw her release contouring products and nude lipsticks, as well as trio of fragrances, and it is believed the raven-haired star is expanding her line to include highlighters, and more glitter lip glosses.
This news comes after make-up artist Huda Kattan shared an image of a box filled with five bottles of a shimmery product in copper, bronze, rose fold, gold and silver shades, as well as five tubes of matching metallic shades with the KKW Beauty logo emblazoned on each product, on her Instagram account.

However, the ‘Keeping Up with the Kardashians’ star has remained tight lipped about her future projects, and has yet to confirm or share any details about the potential line.
Kim has had a busy few months following the success of her fragrance range, which saw her KKW Fragrances Crystal Gardenia, Crystal Gardenia Citrus and Crystal Gardenia sell out in six days, as she has since been work with the factory to create even more scents.
Alongside an image of the scents sprawled out across a table at the launch party, which was posted on the star’s photo-sharing site, she wrote: “So I’ve had the most amazing response to my fragrance and it’s selling out fast! I’m working with my factory to make sure that we can get more for you guys in time for the holidays! I am so so grateful to everyone who bought theirs and I’m seeing all your tweets saying you’ve received them already and are loving them!! Thank you guys!!! We still have limited quantities left, and I’ll keep you guys posted on the restock (sic).”
And fans can breathe a sigh of relief as Kim – who has four-year-old daughter North, 23-month-old son Saint, with her husband ,and is expecting her third child via a surrogate – has recently restocked “all three” cosmetic items, which are available to buy again now.
A recent post read: “All three of my fragrances are back in stock now on KKWFRAGRANCE.COM! I’m so excited you guys can now shop my fragrances in time for the holidays! @kkwfragrance (sic).”

OHMYGOSSIP — Sarah Jessica Parker is “most pleased” with the launch of her New York pop-up shop.
The 52-year-old actress launched her SJP footwear line in 2014, and now three years later the fashion designer has set up her first temporary store for the label, which is located on 640 Fifth Avenue in New York for 10 days from November 24 until Sunday (03.12.17).
And the star is happy with the items available as she believes there is “something for everybody”.
Speaking to Vogue.com about her latest venture, the ‘Sex and the City’ star – who is known for playing the role of Carrie Bradshaw in the popular franchise – said: “I’m most pleased that we have something for everybody here. We have flats and we have our sneakers and a very sensible block heel. They would look really great with black tights or knee socks.”
Sarah – who have twins Marion and Tabitha, both eight, as well as James, 15, with her husband Matthew Broderick – has revealed she holds a “sentimental attachment” to the site of the pop-up because it is situated to where she starred in ‘Annie’ in theatre in 1979.
She explained: “I have a sentimental attachment to this street, actually, because when I played Annie on Broadway, it was right down the street.”
Sarah is also happy with the location because it reminds her of one of Billy Joel’s song that she “loves”.
She added: “And Billy Joel has this album called ’52nd Street’ that I love.”
And it has only ever been a “seeming fantasy” of Sarah’s, ever since she founded her eponymous label, to “have a home” for her shoe brand in the American city.
Speaking previously, she said: “Having a home in N.Y.C. for our SJP Collection has been only a seeming fantasy since we launched our brand almost four years ago.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Nicole Richie thinks she is the “perfect” candidate to partner with Urban Decay because she is a mother.
The 36-year-old fashion designer was recently announced as the face of the beauty brand’s new mascara titled Troublemaker, and the star thinks she is ideal for the ambassadorial role because she is a parent to Harlow, nine, and Sparrow, eight, – who she has with her husband Joel Madden – and she wants to prove make-up is not just for a select group of women.
Speaking to You magazine about her latest venture, she said: “Mums wear mascara and that alone makes me perfect for this collaboration.”
The former ‘Simple Life’ star has long been a fan of the cosmetic giant, as she used to swear by their eyeshadows when she was younger.
She added: “I would buy a gunmetal-coloured eyeshadow called Uzi.”
Urban Decay decided to join forces with Nicole because they wanted someone with “big eyes” and a “great personality” to front their campaign.
Wende Zomnir – who is the founder of Urban Decay – said: “We wanted someone with big eyes, a great personality and a bit of that troublemaking spirit. That’s Nicole! She has a really unique sense of style. There are not a lot of A-listers who have that edge.”
And Nicole’s spouse agrees with Wende that Nicole is best suited for the role as he thinks she is the epitome of a “troublemaker”.
Wende said: “The first time I met Nicole, her husband Joel said: ‘Oh yeah, she’s a troublemaker!'”
To which Nicole added: “Which also means breaking the rules of beauty. It’s about self-expression; the idea that somebody else can’t tell you what beauty is.”
And Nicole insists her own fashion label House of Harlow prides itself on breaking style rules.
She added: “That’s the principle behind House of Harlow.
“I would be like: ‘That miniskirt is amazing and should be worn by somebody who’s 5ft 9in.’ Since then, I’ve made my own decisions about what looks good on me and how I feel confident.”

OHMYGOSSIP — Selena Gomez has shared imagery from her first campaign with PUMA on social media.
The 25-year-old singer announced she had joined forces with the sportswear giant two months ago, but the star has now taken to her Instagram account to share photographs of her in the #DoYou advertorial, which sees her don the brand’s new Phenom trainers.
And the star is “so excited” to finally share the pictures with her fans.
Alongside an image of the ‘Kill Em With Kindness’ hitmaker sporting a red velvet bodysuit, with grey shorts, the new footwear item and a black jumper, she wrote: “Guys- I’m so excited to share my first campaign for the new @PUMAPhenom. #DoYou (sic).”
And the company have hinted they are honoured to have the vocalist represent them, as they have hailed her a “triple threat.”
Puma has shared a string of photographs and video clips of Selena in the campaign on their photo-sharing site.
One image of the former ‘Wizards of Waverley Place’ star sitting in a car, read: ” A triple threat and AF. @selenagomez in Phenom, our most savage trainer yet. #DoYou (sic).”
And Puma have continued to describe Selena – who underwent a kidney transplant earlier this year, which was needed as a result of her battle with Lupus, a condition in which the body’s immune system attacks healthy tissue – as a “fearless” female.
In a teaser clip of the advert, it read: ” Always in the spotlight. Always fearless. Presenting @selenagomez in our all new trainer that’s engineered to slay every step of your day. Phenom drops tomorrow. #DoYou (sic).”
Selena is not the only star who has fronted campaigns with the fashion house, as fellow singer Rihanna – who was named the creative director of Puma in 2014 – has starred in a variety of commercials for the label, as well as ‘Keeping Up With the Kardashians’ star Kylie Jenner.

OHMYGOSSIP — Alexandra Burke has teamed up with TK Maxx on a new festive campaign for charity.
The 29-year-old singer – who was crowned champion of ‘The X Factor’ in 2008 – stars in the brand’s new initiative as part of Christmas Sock Day, on December 6, which encourages people to wear a pair of Christmas-themed socks and take a photo with them, that is then shared on social media with #socksie, to help raise money for Cancer Research UK Kids and Teens.
And for every selfie uploaded TK Maxx will donate £1 to the organisation, which researches new methods and treatments to help young people battling with the life-threatening disease.
TK Maxx raised almost £30,000 for charity on Christmas Sock Day, and they hope to smash that record this year.
Speaking about the campaign, Caro Evans – who is the Director of Partnerships at Cancer Research UK – said: “Thanks to TK Maxx, we’re able to carry out more research to help find new, better and kinder treatments for children and young people with cancer. Survival for children’s cancers has more than doubled in the UK in the last 40 years and Cancer Research UK has been at the heart of this progress. But we couldn’t do this without the support of our partners, like TK Maxx.”
And the charity want to encourage “as many people as possible” to get involved in the campaign, and don a pair of glitzy, or slogan hosiery next month.
Caro added: ” We’d love to see as many people as possible getting involved in TK Maxx’s Christmas Sock Day. Wear your socks and share your #socksie to help us raise money to beat children’s cancers sooner. ”

OHMYGOSSIP — Zendaya has collaborated with Bloomingdales on a festive fashion line.
The 21-year-old actress has teamed up with the department store’s house line, AQUA, to create a limited edition collection in time for Christmas, which features an array of glamorous dresses inspired by her upcoming movie ‘The Greatest Showman’.
And the star – who portrays Anne Wheeler in the production alongside Hugh Jackman and Zac Efron – has revealed she took “elements” from the film and re-worked them to create garments suitable for a cocktail party.
Speaking to PEOPLE about her latest venture, Zendaya – who launched her own brand Daya by Zendaya in 2015 – said: “We took the elements and the ideas of the movie and made them make sense for someone who is going to a cocktail party.”
The products in Zendaya’s capsule are laden with “a lot of glitter”, but so not to go over the top the style icon has advised customers to accessorise every outfit with a black “simple, pointy toe” shoe.
She added: “And there’s a lot of glitter and a lot of shine going on, so if you literally pair anything with a simple, pointy toe black pump, then you’re good to go.”
Zendaya’s collection has gone down a storm with customers already as only five pieces remain, and they are priced from $98 to just under $200 on Bloomingdales.com.
And Tony Spring – who is the chairman and chief executive officer at Bloomingdales – believes “attitude opulence and optimism” of the movie, which is slated for release next month, is in “every touch” of the item, as well as the stores window displays.
Speaking previously, he said: “You can feel the attitude, opulence, and optimism of the film injected in every touch point to the consumer, through the store, online, in our social media, in our products running through giftables, fashion, jewellery, sweaters and dresses, and the windows.”
