Gucci’s new campaign stars a bunch of‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√묨‚àÇwait for it‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√묨‚àÇaliens!

Okay, just when you think you’ve seen it all, Gucci just released their new #Gucciandbeyond Autumn/Winter 2017 campaign this morning on IG. And it just happens to star a bunch of intergalactic models.

You heard right, ICYDK, take a look at Instagram and you’ll see what Creative Director of Gucci, Alessandro Michele, has come up with. Seriously, not that we have anything against UFOs or aliens, but where in the world, or otherworld, is Gucci going with this? No one really knows because Gucci isn’t responding to any of the press inquiries. And you KNOW inquiring minds want to know what is up with this new, interstellar campaign.

Gucci Kerelanda Encanta. Age: Unknown. From: Xoph. “If I’m correct, this is a Kivordian time portal, a gateway to other times and dimensions. It could take us to any place in history!”

Gucci Alien. Ejaw Bolsorg. Age: 36. From: Xoor Cluster. “I may be moved to recite a few epic verses of their romantic poetry‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√묨‚àÇ Perhaps that will arouse your android feelings.”

Gucci Scanner Operator, Zenoba. Age: 20. From: Earth. “Alert! I’ve picked up another burst on our near-space sensors.”

Sure, this is whimsical and fun, but do they really think that we’ll be running around like Xeod? Incidentally, according to Gucci, Xeod is approximately 7,000 years old and from an unknown, far-reaching part of the galaxy. He also wants to study map systems and nebula with you. Hey, he sort of sounds like my last Tinder date!

Gucci Xeod. Age: 7000. From: Unknown. “Together, we will explore the outer reaches of the galaxy‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√묨‚àÇ We will map systems and study nebula.”

Gucci Pilot, Ula. Age: 24. From: Earth colony. “We’re heading straight into the UNCHARTED ZONE. These readings aren’t making any sense!’

But perhaps the most unusual of Gucci’s models is Sea Beast who looks identical to the 1950’s Universal monster in the film, “Creature from the Black Lagoon’. In a full body costume including a headpiece, he is from a water planet and complains, “Garrrggghhh, why must I ALWAYS be the one to rescue these visitors who get out of their depths?’ Clearly, Sea Beast is popular as he already has 216K likes on his Instagram post this morning and 297 comments. Some viewers are completely perplexed by him as one commenter said, “Speechless‚Äö√Ñ√∂‚àö√묨‚àÇ’, while another said, “Gucci, whaaaaat is going on?’

Gucci Sea Beast. Age: 178. From: Water planet. “Garrrrgggghhhhh. Why must I ALWAYS be the one to rescue these visitors who get out of their depths?’

Gucci Alien. Age: Unknown. From: Unknown. “On whose authority? You can’t just walk in here, you know.”

If anything, Gucci’s newest campaign is fresh, new, innovative and definitely has a sense of humor! Check it out and don’t forget to study your algorithmic equations for differential calculus!

The Golden Globe Awards 2017 kicked off the calendar of the star-studded red carpet events of the year on January 8th, Sunday, bringing together some of the most renowned Hollywood actors and actresses, starlets, singers, models and It-girls in Beverly Hills, California. While Meryl Streep stole the spotlight with her impressive speech for accepting the Cecil B. DeMille Award, we couldn’t help ogling the fairy-tale like gowns and dresses of our favorite style icons, defining the red carpet fashion trends of 2017. From Emma Stone to Blake Lively, see all the best-dressed celebrities at the Golden Globes 2017 below!

1. Emma Stone in Valentino

We can hardly remember a red-carpet event, where Emma Stone wouldn’t turn heads with her impeccable looks and contagious smile, and she did turn into the star of the night at the 74th Golden Globe Awards, too. She hit the red carpet wearing an ethereal blush pink Valentino gown with a deep V-neckline and a star-embellished bodice, accessorized with a precious choker and a side-parted loose updo.

2. Jessica Biel in Elie Saab

Jessica Biel looked radiant and fresh-faced in her Elie Saab gown with a black velvet bodice that featured a deep plunging neckline and a floral-appliqué full skirt with a super-high side slit. Simple black platform sandals, drop earrings, statement rings and bracelets completed her look, while beauty wise she opted for a sleek side-parted low chignon and a minimal makeup style.

3. Blake Lively in Atelier Versace

All eyes were on the sweetest Hollywood couple at the Golden Globes 2017, a.k.a. Blake Lively and Ryan Reynolds, who were also among the best dressed at the event. Blake looked perfect as ever wearing the trend of the season, velvet, in all its majesty.

She donned a custom-made black Atelier Versace gown, embellished with golden Swarovski crystals, while emerald green bracelets and diamond earrings finished off her look. She channeled her iconic natural beauty, wearing copper smokey eyes and a lip-gloss, while keeping her hair neat and elegant in a classy updo.

4. Felicity Jones in Gucci

Of course, the red carpet of the Golden Globes 2017 was filled with Alessandro Michele’s ethereal designs, among them Felicity Jones shining in her romantic Cinderella-worthy pink tulle Gucci gown with a crystal-encrusted bow belt and illusion bow prints on the bodice.

5. Naomi Campbell in Atelier Versace

Naomi Campbell made everyone’s jaws drop with her silk Atelier Versace dress in lilac from the fall 2016 collection with a side slit and swirling pleated details. A matching makeup look and center-parted sleek hair finished off her goddess-worthy look.

6. Hailee Steinfeld in Vera Wang

Hailee Steinfeld channeled her princess side wearing a lilac tulle Vera Wang gown with a center part and a train that she accessorized with a pair of platform sandals, delicate jewelry, mauve eye makeup and an effortless chignon.

7. Lily Collins in Zuhair Murad

The Golden Globe Awards 2017 red carpet fashion seemed to be all about fabulous, fairy-tale-like princess looks, and Lily Collins confirms this trend with her astounding Zuhair Murad embellished dress in a subtle rose color. To add a touch of drama to her innocent look, she opted for true red lips and a braided top bun.

8. Olivia Culpo in Zuhair Murad

Talking about drama, here we have the most dramatic and dazzling look on the red carpet showcased by Olivia Culpo. She also picked a Zuhair Murad dress, yet a more embellished, heavily printed one, which she matched with an equally bold makeup look composed of brown, copper and gold shades, and a center-parted braided updo.

9. Nicole Kidman in Alexander McQueen

Nicole Kidman was the ice queen of the ball in her heavily sequined Alexander McQueen dress in a metallic silver coloring. Silver was also her choice accessory and beauty wise, as she completed her look with a delicate diamond necklace and silver smokey eyes.

10. Zoe Saldana in Gucci

When we say the Golden Globes 2017 red carpet fashion was filled with Gucci staples, we mean it! Zoe Saldana also showed her love for Alessandro Michele’s designs, wearing a feminine, ruffled Gucci dress with a big bow belt on the waist. A sleek low ponytail and pink-toned jewels spiced up her look with the right dose of elegance.

It seems like MAC never wants to stop! The MAC Selena Quintanilla fall 2016 makeup collection is a new bright and bold line-up announced by the brand, which pays homage to Selena Quintanilla, an American singer, songwriter, actress and fashion designer that left a rich heritage to the world even though she passed away at a very young age.

Suzette Quintanilla, Selena’s sister was involved in the entire creation process of the MAC Selena Quintanilla fall 2016 collection, and she chose colors that would perfectly embody Selena’s personality and signature beauty looks. “Helping to create this collection brings me back to all those late night conversations on our tour bus when she spoke of having her own makeup line one day. If Selena were here she would be beyond ecstatic to have this happening. History is being made,’ she said.

MAC Cosmetics knows how to please Selena’s fans and keep her music and art vivid in their memory. As the brand’s Senior Vice President James Gager noted: “Selena’s talent and beauty, inside and out have, have left a colourful, meaningful impact in the world, that has continued to grow over the last two decades. We have heard the passion and enthusiasm from her fans and wholeheartedly agree that her legacy embodies M¬¨¬®‚Äö√†√´A¬¨¬®‚Äö√†√´C’s philosophy.’

This is what the MAC Selena Quintanilla fall 2016 collection is composed of:

When it comes to cult classic lipstick colors, we know we can always count on MAC Cosmetics, as they have some of the most covetable, bestseller colors on the market that never go out of style. The beauty giant is now dropping a new lipstick range that’s totally different from your favorite MAC lipsticks created so far. Coming in 24 highly pigmented shades, the MAC Liptensity lipsticks for holiday 2016 are limited edition colors based off of the brand’s innovative High-Frequency Tetrachromatic Pigments technology, which you’ll be able to get your hands on later this month, on September 20th from the brand’s online store, Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and on September 21st if you prefer first-hand experience, trying on your favorite shades and shopping at department stores.

The MAC Liptensify holiday 2016 makeup line has been created in collaboration with Maureen Seaberg, who is a tetrachromat capable of seeing colors you never can perceive with the naked eye. She has a superhuman ability of seeing up to 100 million hues, which means everything surrounding her in life can rightly be called a color assault for her.

Using Maureen’s unique ability to perceive each shade of a single color differently and relying on their groundbreaking technology of giving extra intensity to the colors, the brand is bringing in extraordinary shades you’ll never be able to find in the extensive lip lines of any other brand. Each of the 24 shades included in the line-up is definitely more pigmented, richer and more vibrant than any other lipstick color you have ever tried so far.

The MAC Liptensify lipsticks run the gamut from youthful pink and berry shades to deeply saturated autumnal ones to some dare-to-wear unconventional colors, like the classic black that will help you embrace your Goth side. A single swipe and you’re ready to kiss a color, literally!

What’s more amusing is that the brand has chosen quite fun and easy-to-remember names for each shade, which is another reason to covet these colors badly. Below, you can find every shade included in the MAC Liptensity lipstick range for holiday 2016!

Bikini Questa Sera, Tornade Blonde and Trouble In Heaven are the names of the brand new Christian Louboutin fragrances for women that are described to be “irresistible’ and “pure magic’ by the brand’s official note released. Already available for purchase at Saks Fifth Avenue, Selfridges and Bergdorf Goodman, the three new Christian Louboutin perfumes are going to blow your mind instantly, and chances are you’ll have them on the brain until you finally get your hands on your preferred option.

After having been titillating us with his glamorous nail lacquers and lipsticks for over two years in a row, the shoe emperor is venturing out into the perfume industry now, expanding his beauty empire that’s as fascinating as his footwear designs with shiny, red-lacquered soles. It was back in 2014, when the French fashion designer dipped his toes into the beauty industry, instantly winning everyone’s hearts and souls with his high-end Rouge Louboutin nail varnishes that quickly managed to gain the status of elegance and luxury.

Exactly one year later, we were treated to his range of iconic red (and not only) lipsticks, and now 2016 marks the start of a new era for the house, letting its devoted followers literally wear Louboutin from head to toe. Launched just in time for the beginning of the fashion month, the three Christian Louboutin fragrances come to wrap you up in a distinctive scent that will imprint you on the minds of those surrounding you forever.

“I wanted to celebrate woman and her desires. I wanted these fragrances to enhance an aspect of her personality, or perhaps reveal something about her that no one knew before, maybe not even her, tell a secret, a story. I want to give women the means to express themselves and to delight in their femininity,’ stated the designer, and we bet he knows how to enhance a woman’s personality and femininity.

Each of the three Christian Louboutin perfumes is different from the others, yet they all are united by the same idea behind their construction. “I want you to experience the fragrance in the same way as you experience a piano note being played. So there is the “ping’, the first burst of the scent like the striking of the piano key, followed by a beautiful resonance as the note echoes its sound. There is one present moment, and then there is the trace, le sillage. I think of it as its memory,’ Christian Louboutin explains.

The Christian Louboutin Bikini Questa Sera is an intense, hot scent inspired by an Egyptian sunset, featuring jasmine and tuberose notes and coming captured inside a flame-resembling amber and warm gold bottle that mimics the sun.

Tornade Blonde, on the other hand, is a red rose-based sweet scent, complemented with notes of violet and cassis to evoke love, sensuality and desire. Its bottle has the same design as the previous scent, but different colors with a warm garnet meeting gold ombre.

Housed in a royal purple and gold ombre bottle inspired by the perfect iris that’s at the heart of this scent, the Christian Louboutin Trouble In Heaven is the most mysterious and sexiest scent of the three, mixing intoxicating patchouli and tonka absolut with the dry heat of oriental amber.

British architect Thomas Heatherwick is the mastermind behind the Louboutin fragrance bottle, which is innovative and mysterious just like the liquid housed in it. The design concept brings forth the idea of folding surfaces and twisting glass that also manages to create the impression that the “liquid is alive’.

From the bottle design to the unique blend of fragrance notes, all the three Christian Louboutin perfumes scream opulence and drama, and it’s really hard to resist the temptation of owning one.
