Supermodel's community service boots start fashion trend.
Supermodel Naomi Campbell has started an unlikely fashion trend after turning up for her recent stint of community service wearing a pair of Christian Louboutin stiletto boots.
Celebrity shoes often gain a lot of media attention and this pair was no exception, after the star was forewarned not to wear high heels for carrying out her cleaning duties at New York's Sanitation Department.
The beauty was sentenced to mop floors by a Manhattan judge as a punishment for throwing a mobile phone at her maid Ana Scolavino.
However, the British supermodel's outfits generated as much column inches as the work she was set to perform during her community service, after she turned up in a Ralph Lauren coat and the infamous boots.
Now the world's fashionistas have gone crazy for the stiletto boots, which were intended as a one-of-a-kind item, World Entertainment News Network reports.
Campbell revealed: "Louboutin says he got 1,200 orders from that day... I don't think he was planning to make those boots and now he is."
Among the other designer clothing items that the star was snapped in when arriving for her community service were a black Burberry jacket, a Giuliana Teso coat and a Hermes bag.
Drew Barrymore named as latest CoverGirl.
Actress Drew Barrymore is set to turn supermodel after being announced as the latest face for US makeup brand CoverGirl.
It will be the first major beauty campaign for the Hollywood star, the firm said, which has chosen Barrymore due to her "fresh, natural beauty", "energetic yet authentic spirit" and "carefree, upbeat personality".
Barrymore is regarded as a fashion icon by many and has been praised for her sense of style in numerous celebrity mags, even appearing on the front of magazine covers such as Vogue and Elle in the past.
She also recently starred in a new campaign for UK high street store New Look, modelling their new Gold range, by top designer Giles Deacon.
As well as starring in the advertising campaign for the cosmetics company, the actress has been made co-creative director, meaning that she will also play a role behind the camera and behind the scenes.
"CoverGirl has managed to change with the times, yet stay in touch with women of all ages and backgrounds," Barrymore commented.
"To be chosen not only as the newest face of CoverGirl, but also as a co-creative director of my first TV commercial is truly amazing."
Celebrity fashion wars
The high street has been deluged with new
celeb clothes ranges in recent months, as top stars take advantage of the new appetite for celebrity fashion.
One such A-lister to bring her look to the public is Sex and the City actress Sarah Jessica Parker, whose new Bitten range goes on sale in the US in the summer, Bang media reports.
Parker told US Glamour magazine that unlike the clothing ranges produced by her fashion icon rivals, Bitten will provide affordable clothes for real women.
She described Madonna's recent range for retailer H&M as "provocative and sexy", J-Lo's clothing line as "more trendy than Bitten" and Gwen Stefani's L.A.M.B celeb clothes as "avant-garde" and "high-fashion".
The actress explained: "But I don't want to do that for women, because that's not really their lives. It's a way of giving women without financial means access to good, simple, well-made clothes to feel proud of."
Another star who thinks that her clothing range will be more relevant for real women is Brit singer Lily Allen, whose line for New Look will go head-to-head with skinny supermodel Kate Moss's Topshop range.
While Allen said that Moss's range "looks cool", the star told the Mirror that she didn't think that she'd be able to fit into them.
"All my dresses are super-girly but that doesn't mean you have to be size zero," the pop princess commented on her WhatLilyLoves website.
