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.)

Of course, there's also something to be said for Hudson's makeup of choice: a luscious lip with just the right amount of shine and color adds fun and allure to any woman… even if she's not Penny Lane.

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!”
