Sexiest Red Carpet Gowns Of Cannes Film Festival, Midnight Hot

Here at FashionTV, we live by one set of rules: there’s no such thing as too much glamor. And nothing could be truer when it comes to checking out the figure-hugging, thigh-splitting, sheer shining gowns that grace the Cannes Film Festival red carpets.

This year, some of the hottest outfits were worn by Irina Shayk, who arrived at the Roberto Cavalli yacht party in a controversial sheer black dress by the designer as well as walking around barefoot… adding yet more sex appeal to her already definitive looks.

Meanwhile Rosie Huntington-Whiteley brought her va…va…voom to the room dressed in laser-cut bodycons with her added peachy glow. Supermodel Naomi Campbell, proved that she’s still got it, with her ample cleavage on display, dressed in Roberto Cavalli. And you simply couldn’t take your eyes off Victoria’s Secret models Alessandra Ambrosio and Izabel Goulart who attended premiere, after party, and all the while in skin-tight gowns! FashionTV Midnight Hot has selected some of the sexiest sirens of Cannes Film Festival.

The New Body Bregje Heinen, FashionTV’s Model of the Week

Wake up this morning to the story of Dutch beauty, Bregje Heinen, a doe-eyed darling that has already made her way as a Victoria’s Secret and Sports Illustrated swimsuit model. Introducing, FashionTV’s Model of the Week.

Bregje (pronounced brechk-ye) broke into the fashion world in 2008, when she was discovered by a model scout in her native Netherlands. She is known for her plump lips and perfect pout, and in 2010, was named as one of the ‘Top 10’ newcomers of the year by style.com.

Now, at the tender age of 21, she has worked as a Victoria’s Secret lingerie model and this year made her debut appearance in the coveted Sports Illustrated Swim issue, where she was whisked away to the Brazilian mountains for her photo shoot.

The 5’9” blonde is still climbing her stairway to success and has hit the catwalk for brands to include DKNY, Jeremy Scott, Louis Vuitton, and has also been appearing on the VS fashion show catwalk since 2011.

Now, we can look forward to a hot new shoot from Bregje for an upcoming issue of GQ Magazine as her Instagram account is being filled with daily sexy snaps under the hashtag #GQ. Take a look:

The Modern Muses Of Saint Laurent, Model Of The Week Special

Today, ‘Saint Laurent’ premieres at Cannes Film Festival: a biopic about one of the most iconic designers of the century. To celebrate its release, FashionTV dedicates this edition of ‘Model of the Week’ to the modern day muses of Saint Laurent.

Yves Saint Laurent left an impressionable mark on the fashion world, designing the iconic 1966 Le Smoking suit, as well as defining the trends of the fashion elite through cultural movements such as the Beatnik years, Pop Art and Ballet Russes, among others.

Today, the brand has taken a modern, grungier turn, with designer Hedi Slimane’s takeover in 2012. The brand famously lost the “Yves” and is now referred to as “Saint Laurent,” and the headquarters controversially relocated from Paris to Los Angeles. FashionTV introduces you to some of Slimane’s latest Saint Laurent muses.

Grace Hartzel

Get to know the name Grace Hartzel, because this model is about to get big. Hartzel made her fashion month debut for the Fall 2014 season at Saint Laurent, where she opened and closed the show. After the show, the fashion house tweeted a series of comments such as: “GRACE HARTZEL IS SAINT LAURENT’S EXCLUSIVE GIRL.”

Natalie Westling

Her fire red hair, porcelain skin, and doll-like features were all over the Fall 2014 catwalks and can be seen in Saint Laurent Paris’ latest campaign shot by Hedi himself and in the infamous Marc Jacobs ads alongside Miley Cyrus.

Gracie Van Gastel & Lida Fox

One models and hula hoops, the other, performs ballet. Slimane is mad on music meets fashion; his campaigns often incorporate musicians and models, and now, he’s added dancers into the equation too. Gracie, from Vancouver Island, Canada, and Lida from Pawleys Island, South Carolina, each bring their beauty and flair to the next clip.

Stay tuned with FashionTV, we’re live at Cannes Film Festival and will be bringing you all the red carpet and exclusive party news first!

If something makes for addictive viewing, it’s following the life, career, and funny faces of this British beauty.

Wild child, Cara Delevingne, exploded onto the fashion scene in 2010, making a name for herself as the new face of Burberry. Since then, her career has grown from strength to strength when she dominated the Spring 2011 catwalks leaving almost no show without her trademark stride, bushy brows, and unique beauty.

Shortly after, Cara earned the title as ‘Model of the Year’ at the British Fashion Awards in 2012, and secured her name as one of the biggest model breakthroughs of the decade — she even joined the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show lineup that very same year!

“She’s a character. She’s the Charlie Chaplin of the fashion world” – Karl Lagerfeld

But, the 21-year-old model is more than just a pretty face, she has made no secret of her ambitions to conquer the worlds of music and film too. Cara made her cameo appearance in 2012 screen adaptation of ‘Anna Karenina’ as Princess Sorokina and has now landed her first leading role in British film ‘Kids in Love,’ due for release later this year.

So, tune in this weekend, 16-18 May, for all things fashion + Cara Delevingne… AND, don’t try these faces at home!

5 Models You Never Knew Broke Into The Music Industry!

You’ve got to admire the beautiful, the talented, and the ambitious! And when it comes to these top models, well, they’ve got flair… with all three.

Some you will know about, while others may surprise! Read on for FashionTV’s list of top 5 models that broke into the music industry… because singing is the new modeling, don’t you know?

Naomi Campbell: “Love and Tears”

It may not have been the most successful career move, when in 1995 British supermodel Naomi Campbell released her debut album entitled, “Baby Woman,” featuring songs such as “Love and Tears,” “Ride a White Swan,” and “Sunshine on a Rainy Day.” Though it was only ever released in the UK (where it flopped), you might be surprised to learn that the album is actually a lot better than its reviews. Plus, she looks gorgeous in the video. So, Naomi, we forgive you!

Gisele for H&M

Hear the face of the H&M Fall 2013 fashion campaign with her singing debut, “All Day and All of the Night,” originally performed by the Kinks. But that was just a sign of things to come for the world’s highest earning model. Gisele has now collaborated with infamous DJ Bob Sinclar for the second round of H&M campaigns, this time turning her attention to Blondie’s hit single, ‘Heart of Glass.’

Cara Delevingne: She got Soul Sister

British model and “face of the decade” makes no secret of her singing and acting ambitions. Early in 2013 she collaborated on a duet with Will Heard, which hit headlines, as well as singing for every modelling opportunity that allows her, such as Love Magazine features.

Carla Bruni: Born to Sing

Probably the most famous model-turned-singer, Italian beauty, Carla Bruni, turned her attention to singing after a short but fruitful modeling career. She quit modelling in 1997 to focus solely on her music and has released four albums to date. This may have something to do with the fact that her mother was an Italian concert pianist and father, a classical composer — so music was her natural calling.

Vanessa Paradis’ Post Johnny Depp “Love Songs”

She started her music journey with a sweet, Madonna-sounding kinda Pop, and recently released a more mature-sounding album entitled, “Love Songs.” Vanessa Paradis, French model, and ex-wife of Johnny Depp shows him what he’s missing out on in her sultry new music video.
