Is Natalia Vodianova the Next Audrey Hepburn?
Natalia Vodianova doesn’t aim low, and now the supermodel is reaching for the highest of stars: Audrey Hepburn. Setting her sights on one of the icon's most famous roles, Natalia told Vogue UK, "I'd love to play Audrey Hepburn in Funny Face."
And, of course, she appreciates Hepburn for more than just being a movie legend. "She is one of my heroes," Natalia said. "She was such an incredible philanthropist."
The revelation came on the heels of the premiere of the model-turned-actress's debut leading-lady role in Belle du Seigneur, in which she stars with Jonathan Rhys Meyers. While she certainly wouldn't be the first to make the step, she'll definitely have large shoes to fill!

Jason Wu and Diane Kruger Toast ACRIA's Inaugural Summer Soirée
All eyes were on Jason Wu last night at the First Annual Summer Soirée, a fundraiser for the AIDS Community Research Initiative of America (ACRIA). After waltzing in with Diane Kruger on his arm, he welcomed attendees like Kate Young, Giovanna Battaglia, and an entire table of top model friends at the candle-lit penthouse venue of The Glass Houses in Chelsea to make a speech. "I'm just really proud to do something that's not selfish," he said. "ACRIA is a charity I really believe in. We hope to carry [tonight's event] on and on, and on, and on, and on...until they move me to the big boys' table."

First Look: Kate Hudson's New Almay Campaign
Kate Hudson's a master of the "adorably sexy" vibe, but how does the actress, singer, and Glee scene-stealer pull it off? We'll never truly know without hidden spy cameras, but these new images from Almay’s new Color + Care Liquid Lip Balm campaign might give us some helpful hints. Taken behind-the-scenes on Hudson's shoot and sent exclusively to ELLE.com, the pictures have Kate lounging by a serene swimming pool in anyone-can-do-it poses. (Arched back? Check. Bronzed legs crossed on the diagonal? Check. Don't even get us started on the wide, easy smile and long, princess-worthy hair, because yes, she's got that, too.) |

Exclusive: First Look at the Cara Delevingne Coloring Book
Those statement brows. That blonde mane. That cheeky attitude and impish grin. Whether Cara Delevingne’s strutting down the runway at Burberry Prorsum or rocking a onesie and flashing gang signs alongside BFF Rita Ora—with whom she may be developing a fashion line—the 20-year-old Brit is undoubtedly the model of the moment.
And while a pile of high-profile ad campaigns and cover shoots are nothing to sniff at, the girl wonder may have finally cemented her supermodel status with her very first coloring book—and we have the premiere look at it.
Colour Me Good Cara (launching July 1) is the latest celeb-inspired goodie from British illustrator and artist, Mel Simone Elliott, who gave the world the utterly epic Colour Me Good Ryan Gosling book last year. The book features 16 portraits of Delevingne in all guises, from striking a sexy pose to getting primped backstage to goofing off away from the catwalk. Crayolas at the ready?
“It has been a whole year since I started drawing for Colour Me Good Ryan Gosling, and since then, I've been so busy. But I also wanted to do something else to get the world coloring in,” said Elliott, who has also created crafty tributes to the likes of Kate Moss, Adele, and Debbie Harry.
“There are other people and subjects who I knew would be really popular but they're just not 'me.' Then I noticed Cara and immediately knew that she was right. She is an absolute joy to draw, insanely beautiful and her fun, tomboyish sense of humor really comes across. She's just fab, and I'm absolutely delighted that we can all color her good!”
For more details about Colour Me Good Cara, visit ILoveMel.me. Shoppers who order the book will save 10 percent off their entire order with the code "COLOUR CARA."
