One-piece swimsuits are NOT mandatory dress code for the pool once you hit 40. Beautiful stars like Halle Berry, Elizabeth Hurley, Heidi Klum and more still have impressive abs to show off in an itsy-bitsy bikini!

Labor Day weekend is just around the corner, meaning summer is just a hot second away from celebrities buying Halloween decorations. They served us bikini body inspiration for the past three months, especially from the 40+ crowd! These ladies, many who are mothers, proved that age is just a number when it came to looking fabulous by the pool or beach. They also showed that age isn’t an indicator of health, since many of these iconic women maintained their bikini-ready abs in the gym and in the kitchen.

Jennifer Lopez, 49, as always had an incredible figure, but she just seems to get better and better as the years go by. She’s constantly hitting up the gym and working on toning her bod, and it’s resulted in her having an insane six pack in her late 40s. One of our other bikini queens is Elizabeth Hurley, 54, who is so confident in her bikini body that she even promotes a swimsuit line of her very own on Instagram quite often. It’s led to no shortage of bikini pics from her, and we’re constantly beyond envious of how amazing she looks — you can take a peek at some examples below.

Then, there’s Kelly Ripa, 48, who is also known to workout like a fiend. Whatever she’s been doing definitely pays off, though, because her abs are OUT of control. Kelly’s body is obviously super tiny, but it’s also TONED and super fierce, which she’s proven by hitting the beach in her bikini every once in a while.

From these women to Heidi Klum to Cindy Crawford and so many more, there’s plenty of more women where these came from! Click through the gallery above to check it out — if this isn’t inspiration to get those ab workouts going, what could be?!

The 76th Venice Film Festival is officially here & some of our favorite celebrities have landed in Italy wearing some seriously gorgeous outfits!

The 76th Venice Film Festival officially started on August 28 and the celebrities have started jetting off to Italy for the fun event, which ends on September 7. Sofia Richie, 21, was one of the first guests to arrive when she opted to wear a gorgeous fitted black suit. The blazer of her outfit featured a wrap front closure and plunging V-neckline which showed off major cleavage. Meanwhile, the side of the jacket was tied together with extra long fringe ties that flowed down her leg. She paired the detailed coat with the matching skintight black trousers which were straight leg and hugged her frame perfectly. Topping off her look were a pair of black Bottega Veneta Quilted Leather Mules and a gorgeous pair of thin silver drop earrings. A slicked back, middle-parted bun completed her sophisticated ensemble. Later that same day, Sofia swapped her suit for a gorgeous black two-piece ensemble on the red carpet at the premiere of The Truth. She looked gorgeous in a tiny spaghetti-strap black crystal crop top, which she paired with a high-waisted black satin high-low skirt that was extra poofy, showing off her long legs. She completed the look with a huge bun updo and a pair of Andrea Wazen SS19 DASSY heels.

Aside from Sofia, a ton of Victoria’s Secret models were in attendance and we especially loved Candice Swanepoel’s, 30, casual daytime outfit. Candice stepped out on the beach when she opted to wear a pair of high-waisted light wash, skintight straight leg mom jeans with an off-the-shoulder yellow Etro Silk-Jacquard Printed Bustier top with organza sleeves. A pretty beaded vintage Etro belt cinched in her super tiny waist and completed her look. Later that night, she also headed to the premiere of The Truth, when she slipped into a one-shoulder slinky metallic gold gown that hugged her toned, lanky frame to perfection. Meanwhile, the back of the dress was completely cut out, revealing a ton of skin.

Martha Hunt, 30, looked casually chic as well, when she first arrived in a pair of high-waisted, super baggy tan khakis styled with a light ivory sweater with a collar, gold sandals and a Gucci belt around her tiny waist. For the premiere, Martha slipped into a strapless black gown with a feathered bodice that flowed into a completely sheer black maxi skirt with a plunging slit on the front, which revealed her black underwear underneath as well as her super long legs.

There were so many other celebrities in attendance that looked gorgeous at the festival and you can see all of their gorgeous outfits when you click through the gallery above!

Hailie Scott Mathers showed off her makeup skills (and ability to find amazing car lighting) in a new photo, after Eminem’s daughter voiced her interest in becoming an influencer!

Are we looking at a Jaclyn Hill 2.0? Hailie Jade Scott Mathers, 23, showed off her knack for wielding a makeup brush, thanks to a well-lit car selfie on Aug. 22. “Don’t selfie and drive,” Eminem’s daughter captioned the picture, which put the spotlight on her perfectly filled-in brows, bronzed cheeks and just the right dash of highlighter. Nothing wild, but Hailie proved that sometimes less is more with this natural makeup selfie.

Hailie had even more opportunities to play with her makeup at Lollapalooza! The social media star recently returned from dancing the day away at the Chicago music festival that ran between Aug. 1-4, and uploaded three concert outfits: a black romper, a cropped Van Halen tee paired with striped shorts, and lastly, a lace bralette with black shorts complemented by snakeskin print boots. She paired each look with a matte brown eye, much like her go-to eyeshadow in the selfie below!

Hailie’s happy to be back in Detroit after such an eventful kick-start to August. “Lolla, i love you but i’m feeling hella thankful that i have a year to recuperate before i attempt to survive you again ✌️,” she captioned a photo taken at Lollapalooza on Aug. 5. Ah, we can relate to those post-festival feels.

Hailie’s Instagram serves as her beauty portfolio! She often shows off her makeup looks — usually variations of a fresh face, with a bold red lip here and there — with regular selfies and fashion posts. The pictures align with Hailie’s post-college goals! After graduating from Michigan State University with a degree in psychology, Hailie revealed her interest in becoming a social media “influencer” in a June 2018 interview with Daily Mail. Unlike her father’s career in rap, Hailie was “more drawn to the beauty world,” according to last year’s interview. But her career plans weren’t set in stone, because she admitted that they were “kind of up in the air” at the time.

Tiffany Trump is soaking in every bit of the beach before she heads back to law school this fall. The daughter of President Donald Trump shared a photo of herself lounging by the beach in a colorful sun dress on August 25.

Tiffany Trump is enjoying summer to the fullest before the start of school this fall at Georgetown Law School. The socialite, 25, who just returned to the states from a European vacation with mom Marla Maples, spent the weekend at the beach. Tiffany shared a stunning photo of herself soaking up the sun near the ocean on Sunday, August 25. She looked beautiful in a stylish, multi-colored sundress.

“The best way to predict the future is to invent it…”, the daughter of President Donald Trump captioned the scenic snap. Her mother commented, “So beautiful So Wise”. It’s unclear where Tiffany spent her beach day, however, it looks like she lived her best life that day. If you take a closer look at the photo, it appears as though there’s some sort of savory dessert placed on the arm rest of her wooden lounge chair!

Tiffany’s day at the beach came after she reunited with boyfriend Michael Boulos, following her vacation with mom, Marla. The two reunited in New York City, where they visited the Oculus shopping center at the World Trade Center and posed in front of the famed NYC mural on August 18. Tiffany and Michael, who lives in London and goes to school there, have been dating for several months.

Cardi B heated up the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet on August 26 in Newark, NJ! The Grammy-winning rapper sizzled in a sultry red dress that showed off her thighs with two daring slits.

Cardi B turned the MTV Video Music Awards red carpet into her very own runway on August 26! The “Press” rapper, 26, stunned in a plunging red rope dress. Cardi sported a black, long bob haircut and accessorized with gold, chunky bangles. — See her full look below!

Cardi’s 2019 VMAs look was a much different vibe than her ensembles in past years. The rapper, who donned a black, choppy pixie haircut at last year’s show, rocked three different dresses in 2018. Cardi wore a high-slit fuchsia velvet gown by Nicolas Jebran on last year’s red carpet, along with millions of dollars in jewelry by Lorraine Schwartz. She later changed into a red strapless gown with a long train by Azzi & Osta to accept her Moonman trophy on stage. Cardi ended the 2018 show dressed in a little black dress with oversized, ruffled sleeves and a plunging neckline.

While Cardi won’t be performing, she is nominated for four VMAs  this evening — Artist of the Year; Best Hip Hop (“Money”); Best Pop (“Please Me” w/ Bruno Mars); Best Dance (DJ Snake ft. Selena Gomez, Ozuna & Cardi B – “Taki Taki”); Cardi, who has attended the VMAs the last two years, appeared to be at the show solo, without her husband, Migos rapper, Offset.

The mother-of-one flew to the east coast after a full press day in LA on August 25 for her forthcoming film, Hustlers, which hits theaters on September 13. Cardi, who stars alongside Jennifer Lopez, Lili Reinhart, Constance Wu, Keke Palmer and Lizzo, plays an exotic dancer in Hustlers.The film follows a group of strippers, led by JLo, who scam their wealthy clients after the financial crisis of the late 2000s.

Cardi has been very vocal about her past as a stripper in the Bronx, New York, which gave her an advantage heading into filming. However, the rapper recently revealed that she couldn’t use her skills on the pole to the best of her ability.

“You know what? I was really mad because let me tell you something — when I did the movie, I just got my t**ties done and I got lipo, right? So I was like, ‘This is my moment to shine, and I can’t shine because I can’t climb!'” Cardi told Entertainment Tonight on Sunday. “So I was mad. I was like, ‘Goddamn it!'”, she added.

Kim Kardashian has been loving the au naturel look & she opted to go completely makeup-free, yet again, while wearing a sexy sheer bodysuit.

Despite having her very own beauty brand, KKW Beauty, Kim Kardashian, 38, has been embracing the no-makeup look lately and she looks just as gorgeous without makeup. Kim was out in LA on Wednesday, August 21, when she opted to wear a pair of high-waisted black baggy drawstring pants with a sheer, charcoal gray bodysuit, which she chose to go completely braless under. The entire back of the one-piece was cutout, revealing her bare back and she accessorized with her new fave style of shoe – the thong flip flop, this time wearing them in a powder blue shade. The best part of her entire look though was the fact that she wore no makeup for the second time this week. She chose to not wear even a drop of foundation, keeping her fresh face on full display. She’s also been loving letting her natural hair down and she chose to let her jet black hair down and parted in the middle with gorgeous beach waves cascading down her face.

The first time Kim went au naturel this week was when she stepped out for a date night with hubby, Kanye West, 42, at The Bungalow in Santa Monica on Sunday, August 18. While Kim is usually all dolled up for a date night, she chose to go completely makeup-free for the outing and even wore a full gray sweatsuit. Kim looked unrecognizable in her ensemble, as she threw on a pair of light gray, tight elastic sweatpants from Providence College, a university in Rhode Island, paired with a darker gray baggy hooded sweatshirt. She topped her casual outfit off with her go-to pair of Yeezy Wave Runner Sneakers. Aside from her super casual outfit, we were totally shocked to see Kim without a drop of makeup on. Kim left her face completely bare, showing off her natural beauty, and even opted out of covering up her imperfections including a little blemish on the side of her chin.

It is so rare to see Kim without makeup, which is why we are totally shocked that she’s done it twice this week. However, Kim proved that she can make anything look good and her natural face is just as gorgeous as her face with makeup on. Aside from her no-makeup look, Kim also let her natural hair down again, choosing to let her naturally wavy black hair down in gorgeous beach waves, which is the hottest hair trend of the summer.

We love seeing Kim without makeup – it is such a relaxed look and she manages to look good with or without makeup, so why wouldn’t she go au naturel.

Now that the seasons are about to change, it’s time to ditch all of your summer mascara for some fresh new formulas & we rounded up the best products that will revive your lashes!

While we had a great summer, it’s officially coming to an end and with that, it’s time to ditch the mascara that you’ve been using in the humid heat and opt for something new. Not only is the new season a perfect time to revamp your makeup bag, but it’s also a great opportunity to bring your lashes back to life. So, we rounded up the best mascaras that will revive your dried-out lashes and give you a fresh, voluminous look.

If you’re looking to give your lashes some TLC but also look fabulous, the Perricone MD No Makeup Mascara is your best bet. It’s a 2-in-1 lash treatment and mascara which is clinically proven to make your lashes appear thicker and more lifted. Another great option is the Dr. Hauschka Volume Mascara 01 Black. Formulated with mineral pigments that have nourishing ingredients such as quince seed, silk, and candelilla wax, this mascara gives you volume all while protecting your lashes.

For a good, every day mascara, look no further than the Rodial GLAMOLASH Mascara XXL. Perfect for everyday use, Glamolash is formulated with beeswax for lash conditioning, carnauba wax for even adherence to prevent clumping and soluble collagen to provide thickness with shine. The Glossier Lash Slick is another fabulous everyday mascara as it curls, sculpts and lengthens your lashes, plus it’s made with flexible polymers that lift each lash into place. Even better, it’s water-resistant, not water-proof, so it stays on when you want it to but doesn’t make it incredibly hard to take off.

We can always expect Hailee Steinfeld to serve up a gorgeous fashion look on the red carpet, and that was exactly the case when she showed up to the VMAs on Aug. 26.

Hailee Steinfeld may only be making a quick appearance at the Video Music Awards to serve as a presenter, but she still blew us away with her gorgeous red carpet look! The singer/actress looked beyond stunning in a red dress, which featured a double leg slit so she could show some skin. The sheer ensemble looked amazing, and Hailee paired it with matching red shoes, along with a super bold red lipstick. She parted her hair down the middle and styled it in loose waves to complete the look.

Hailee has quite a history with MTV shows, as last fall, she hosted Europe’s version of the VMAs, the Europe Music Awards. Not only did she lead the entire show, but she also performed and KILLED it. Later this year, Hailee will star as Emily Dickinson in a new comedy series called Dickinson for Apple’s new streaming service, Apple TV+. Plus, fans have anxiously been waiting to hopefully hear some new music from her, as well.

This year’s VMAs will feature performances from some of the biggest stars in music, including Taylor Swift, Camila Cabello, Lizzo, Shawn Mendes, Jonas Brothers, Lil Nas X, Normani and PLENTY more. Plus, along with Hailee, stars like Billy Ray Cyrus, KeKe Palmer, Bebe Rexha and more will be serving as presenters.

Ariana Grande and Taylor are leading the pack with the most nominations at the show — they’re each up for TWELVE awards. Billie Eilish follow close behind them with nine, while Lil Nas X has eight. The show is being hosted by Sebastian Maniscalco.

Arielle Charnas, the blogger behind Something Navy, revealed how she manages to be the best mom she could be despite her busy schedule & her tips on raising two young girls.

Influencer Arielle Charnas of Something Navy has become one of the most popular bloggers in the world and the mother-of-two shared all of her parenting tips at an Aveeno Baby event in New York City on August 21. The 32-year-old started her fashion blog, Something Navy, back in 2009 and in the beginning, it was all about her until she had two of the most precious little girls with her husband of five years, Brandon Charnas, 32-year-old co-founder of Current Real Estate. Arielle spoke at the event, which HollywoodLife attended, about the everyday struggles she faces being a parent to Ruby Lou, 3, and Esme, 1. At the event, which was held at The Little Wing, to announce the launch of the new Aveeno Baby Sensitive All Over Wipes, Arielle spoke candidly about being a mother, alongside pediatrician, Dr. Alberto Cotton. While Arielle admitted there are a few things that are challenging, such as changing diapers and eczema, she had one piece of advice for all new moms or future mothers. “My biggest tip for new moms would be when you’re working, be 100 percent in your work and when you’re a mom, be 100 percent a mom. If you can, try to find some time in your day to take care of yourself. For me personally, I don’t think I would be able to be the mom that I am if I didn’t give myself that time. So, trying to find that little moment for you. Even if its five minutes, take anything you can get,” she advised.

One of the biggest struggles Arielle faces is changing diapers, she admits. “Diaper change for me is about how fast can I get through this moment because my kids hate it. They hate it more than anything. It’s pretty much just me holding them down and not letting their bodies just convulse off the table because they just can’t sit still,” she shared. “At first, I started singing and playing with them, because in the first six months they don’t really do much so they’re ok with sitting still, but then they get smarter. So, what else can I throw in there to keep them staying still? I give them things that I don’t normally allow them to play with, like a bottle of cream or lipstick or keys – anything that I don’t normally let them play with,” Arielle continued. “Then they get smarter again and then it turns into, for me, an iPhone. I know it’s not ideal and probably not the best decision, but it gets me through diaper changes. At this age now, she’s [Esme] only 15 months, so we’re moving her onto the floor because it’s just not happening on the changing table and we’ll just do it really quickly. Sometimes the strap is up high on one side and the other’s down low, but it’s on and it’s happening on the floor, so I’m happy with that.”

Despite Arielle’s daughters being two years apart, she said they’re actually quite similar. “I always thought that if my first child was a certain way, then there’s no way that my second one will be the same, but that’s wrong. Both my kids hate diaper changing, but as they’ve gotten older, it’s definitely gotten a little bit easier. With my toddler, now she wants to do it herself and wants to help out with my baby, so it’s definitely easier as they get older, but it’s still a challenging part of the day,” she confesses.

Aside from diaper-changing, Arielle’s kids have also experienced eczema, which posed another obstacle. “At first, I always thought that eczema was always a given because they’re babies, they’re being exposed to new things and their skin’s reacting. With Ruby, that was the case for me because she had eczema for 8-10 months and that’s when I started to look into the market for great products that were soothing for her skin and helped relieve it, and it worked, that’s how I found Aveeno. With my baby, she’s got a lot of allergies, so eczema is all over her body. She’s now 15 months and it’s kind of never-ending. I noticed it from the start, it was kind of always there for both of my girls but the Aveeno cream has been the best thing ever because it kind of tames it and it’s soothing for them.”

Another factor of parenting that Arielle found out was bad from Dr. Cotton, was giving your children a bath every day. “I bathe my kids every day, but Dr. Cotton told me that’s not good and you’re really not supposed to. I guess it really depends – right now we’re in a summer home and it’s humid, there are bugs, and they’re wearing sunscreen every day, so I feel like I have to,” she admitted. “The only thing we really do for their skin is that I put the Aveeno Baby cream on every night after their bath and Desitin for diaper rash. Other than that, I’m not really applying anything to their skin just because it’s so new and fragile, I’m afraid to test out any other new products. I just want to stick to what I’m comfortable with,” Arielle concluded.

Hailey Baldwin was out in LA on Aug. 21 when she opted to wear a corset, showing off her rock hard abs & brand new belly button ring, just as her wedding details to Justin Bieber were revealed.

It’s no secret that Hailey Baldwin, 22, has the most insane figure and the blonde supermodel is constantly flaunting her abs in sexy, revealing outfits. Hailey did just that when she ran errands in LA on August 21, wearing an oversized black linen suit with a tiny corset bralette. Hailey opted to wear a black Alexander Wang Frayed Tweed Bra Top which featured an underwire bra that showed off ample cleavage, as well as a corset bodice, that was tight around her taut tummy. She paired the sexy bralette with a super oversized black linen suit featuring a blazer with the cuffs rolled up to reveal the white lining underneath. Blazers have quickly become the hottest trend of the summer and Hailey has been rocking the look all season long. She paired the jacket with the matching high-waisted cargo trousers, which were loose on her long, lean legs. In true Hailey style, she topped her look off with cool accessories, opting to cinch in the bottom of the trousers by wrapping her bright Balenciaga Fall 19 Red Sandals around her ankles, tying them into a bow in the front. A Balenciaga Hourglass Xs Top Handle Bag and her go-to black Celine Cl41468 Edge Sunglasses completed her look.

The best part of Hailey’s entire ensemble, though, was the fact that she debuted a brand new belly ring. Fastened on her stomach was a small silver studded accessory, that fits perfectly against her rock hard abs. Hailey’s sexy look comes on the heels of her wedding details to fiance, Justin Bieber, 25. The couple will officially get married on September 30 in South Carolina, and the save the date cards were even sent out and obtained by TMZ.

We’re so excited about Hailey and Justin’s wedding, but most importantly, we cannot wait to see Hailey’s gorgeous wedding dress. Her style is so unique and sexy, which means her dress is probably going to be stunning.

Hailey has been killing her style this summer and was a total trendsetter. From bold neon to oversized sophisticated suits – she has been a trailblazer in fashion all season long.

This summer, tons of celebs shocked us when they debuted hair color makeovers & luckily, we spoke to an expert colorist on how you can change your tresses, too!

Some of our favorite celebrities have completely changed up their hair color this summer and a few were seriously drastic. From Jordyn Woods to Ariel Winter, the stars wanted major change for the season and a few underwent serious hair makeovers. Jordyn, 21, just debuted brand new jet black hair after rocking honey blonde locks these past few months. Jordyn was just on the red carpet at the LA premiere of 47 Meters Down: Uncaged on August 13, when she had long, blonde wavy hair with gorgeous light honey highlights. However, just a few days later on August 17, she took to Instagram to post a selfie with long black straight and sleek hair. She posted the selfie with the caption, “blonde hair was cool but blacks a vibe.” Perhaps one of the most drastic hair makeovers of the summer came from Ariel, 21. The Modern Family star has had long straight jet black hair for years, so it completely took us by surprise when she debuted bright red hair back in May. She compared herself to Ariel from Disney’s The Little Mermaid, when she posted a selfie of her new hair on May 3, with the caption, “part of yourrrrrr worrrrrld,” which are lyrics from a song in the film. Other celebs who showed off brand new hair colors this season include Amber Heard, who went from blonde to pastel pink, Emma Roberts, who went from blonde to dark brunette, and so many more, which you can see when you click through the gallery above.

While starting a new season with a fresh new hair makeover seems refreshing and fun, there are actually some risks you face, especially if you dye it in the summer. Joanna Delgado, a colorist at Pierre Michel Salon in New York City, shared with HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY, what some of the challenges are when drastically changing your color and how you can properly care for your new ‘do. Sharing her “dos and donts” of coloring your hair, Joanna said, “Make sure you are 100% sure and ready. Once you go dark, it’s hard to go back to the exact shade you started with. Not to mention, extreme changes in hair color, (three levels or more), changes and compromises the integrity of your hair.” Before you jump right into a new color, Joanna suggests, “Play with wigs to see how certain colors and tones look against your skin tone. Your colorist may think a certain shade will be flattering, but you never know how you will love it on yourself. Also, follow your hair colorists’ recommendations in terms of maintenance and upkeep. I give all my clients ‘homework’ on how to treat their hair color and maintain vibrancy and tones.” The one “dont” that Joanna wants to be very clear about, “Don’t seek change based on emotion. Women like to change their look after a break up/divorce or after having a baby. From experience, clients act on impulse without thinking it through and then regret it. Sleep on it and after a week or two, if you are still sure and ready, then go for it.”

Dying your hair poses some risks and Joanna shared what they are. “All hair color is maintenance. The amount of maintenance differs based on how far you stray from your natural shade,” she admits. “Staying within two levels, which is close to your natural color, is less maintenance than when you lighten three levels or more. If someone goes from a dark brown base color to a dark blonde base with light blonde highlights, they risk some breakage. Talk thoroughly with your colorist on what the risks are. Drastic changes are sometimes worth doing in several sessions to keep your hair looking healthy,” she concluded.

Even though there are risks, Joanna ensures you shouldn’t worry, as long as you are taking safety measures and practices. One safe way to color your hair, she shared, is to undergo several sessions to get to the light color, rather than dying it all at once. “Going to a knowledgeable colorist that uses good, gentle products and highlighting with a lower strength developer will work the same as using something strong. The only downside is that it will take longer in terms of processing, but it’s worth it,” she said. As for how to maintain your newly colored hair, Joanna suggests, “Color-treated shampoos and conditioners or sulfate-free shampoos. They help maintain the color because fewer color molecules are stripped during the shampoo process.”

One day ahead of the release of her new album, ‘Lover,’ Taylor Swift took the stage in Central Park for an EPIC ‘GMA’ concert that blew fans away!

Taylor Swift, 29, took over Central Park on Aug. 22 as she performed songs from her upcoming new album, Lover, for Good Morning America. The singer looked beyond amazing as she hit the stage wearing a pair of sequined shorts, which showed off her long, toned legs. She paired the shorts with a sheer pink shirt, and added a pop of color with bright lipstick. She also wore black booties to strut across the stage. It may be bright and early, but Taylor looked incredible and was full of energy onstage!

Ahead of the concert, Taylor sat down with Robin Roberts and was greeted by super loud cheers from the crowd. Even before she started singing, she connected with the massive audience and millions of television viewers. She kicked off the set with a rendition of “You Need To Calm Down,” and she KILLED it. Next up, she belted out “ME!,” and showed off some fun choreography to go with the track. Her performance was in front of a massive wall of flowers, which was perfect for the summertime set. To close out the set, Taylor sang “Shake It Off,” with FULL energy.

It’s been five years since Taylor last gave a performance on GMA, so this show was highly anticipated, and it’s no surprise that Taylor delivered. With the release of Lover on Aug. 23, its going to be a busy few days for Taylor, and this is absolutely the perfect way to kick it off.

Taylor released “ME!,” the first single from Lover, back in April. In June, she dropped the album’s second song, “You Need to Calm Down,” and announced the release date of Lover. Normally, Taylor waits until October or November to drop her albums, so the August release date was quite surprising — and exciting! — for her loyal Swifties.

This Monday, Aug. 26, Taylor will be hitting yet another big stage when she performs at the MTV Video Music Awards. In addition to performing at the show, Taylor is also nominated for a whopping TEN awards, so it’s sure to be a great night!

Wendy Williams is living her best, makeup-free life in a new selfie with friend Andre Leon Talley! The host shared the cute snap to Instagram on August 20, and appeared to be in great spirits after 50 Cent dragged her on social media 2 days prior.

Wendy Williams doesn’t appear to be fazed by her ongoing feud with 50 Cent. The daytime host, 55, whose talk show is on a vacation hiatus until September 16, enjoyed lunch with friend Andre Leon Talley, as seen in a new snap on Instagram. Wendy smiled big alongside the fashion guru and gushed over her fresh face as she basked in vacation bliss.

“What the late lunch in my apt, still in my robe, no makeup, Kevin & Travis in the other room, @andreltalley is going on?!”, she captioned the selfie on Tuesday. “I like her!!”, Wendy added, which is a phrase she often uses now that she’s living her “new life” after divorce. “See you September 16th.”

The host flaunted her amazing complexion just two days after 50 Cent wouldn’t allow her into his Tycoon pool party in New Jersey over the weekend. After fan videos surfaced of Wendy being turned away at the door, the rapper seemingly confirmed that she wasn’t allowed into the bash in a post on social media. 50 Cent shared one of the viral videos to Instagram on August 18, with the caption, “You can’t just show up to my PARTY if you been talking about me. BITCH wait out side”.

Adding to her feud with 50, along with the accumulating headlines about her personal life, Wendy just cancelled her fourth show on her comedy tour. Just days after cancelling shows in Newark and New Jersey, the Kimmel Center in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania announced on Tuesday, August 20, that her “For the Record…Umm Hmm! Tour” would not take place in the city. The show was scheduled for Saturday, August 24. It’s unclear why Wendy has scrapped certain show dates.

Sarah Hyland is seriously shredding for the wedding! The newly engaged star looked amazing when she showed off her rock-hard abs in a sports bra after a pilates class in LA on Aug. 20.

It seems like Sarah Hyland, 28, is getting ready for the wedding, as the newly engaged actress showed off her petite, toned figure when she was leaving a pilates class in Los Angeles on August 20. The Modern Family actress just got engaged to her boyfriend of two years Wells Adams, 25, back in July and she put her taut tummy on full display when she opted to wear a tiny white spaghetti strap sports bra, which she paired with high-waisted, black Lululemon In Movement Crop Everlux 19″ leggings. Tucked into the front of her leggings was a bright red towel that read “1990” and she accessorized with a pair of black platform Birkenstock sandals, Givenchy Gv7090 Oval Sunglasses, and a black Tom Ford Jennifer Saddle Bag. Considering her bra was so small and not really a crop top, her toned abs were the main attraction of this entire outfit and she looked fabulous. As for her hair, Sarah rocked two of this season’s hottest trends – a messy bun and a headband. She threw her dark brown long wavy hair into a messy bun atop her head, while a thick black headwrap was wrapped around her head.

Sarah has been showing off her toned figure a lot lately and one of our favorite recent outfits from the star was at the Teen Choice Awards on August 11. She looked absolutely flawless when she wore a matching Teresa Helbig two-piece set. The set featured a tiny little pink and white lace bralette with orange spaghetti straps and a plunging V-neckline, showing off ample cleavage. She paired the tiny top with the matching high-waisted mini skirt, which was extra short, showing off her long, toned legs. She accessorized her look with a pair of bright orange Loriblu heels and dazzling Lorraine Schwartz jewels.

We’ve seriously been loving Sarah’s style lately and just the other day she tried out yet another trend – the maxi dress. Sarah was running errands in LA on Sunday, August 18, when she looked fabulous in a fun Bijou Dress in Octavia. The white maxi dress featured a pretty blue and red floral print and a ruched bodice that cinched in her tiny waist, while long sleeves and high, poofy shoulders completed the top. The rest of the maxi flowed out into a pleated skirt, ending at her ankles, while a pair of olive green pointy-toed pumps, matching purse, and aviator sunglasses completed her look.

Sarah has been looking the best she’s ever looked and we cannot wait to see what she wears on her special wedding day.

It’s official! Millie Bobby Brown has her very own beauty brand, Florence by Mills, which will cater to young women & we have everything you need to know about her latest venture.

Is there anything Millie Bobby Brown can’t do? The 15-year-old Stranger Things star just announced that she is launching her own Gen Z beauty brand, Florence by Mills, which will cater to people born in the mid-1990s to early-2000s. The brand will include both makeup and skincare, while everything will be sold at Ulta Beauty, Boots and online. Millie announced the news on her Instagram on August 20, posting a video for the new brand with a heartfelt caption. The caption read, “So here it is, Florence by Mills. Literally the love of my life, I can’t begin to explain the love I have for this and how hard but crazy excited I was to create it. 2 years of creating a beauty and skincare brand jeez… that’s a long time to keep a secret but now I can finally share the news with u all!! thanks for all the love and support you guys give me every single day.”

The beauty brand is named after Florence, Millie’s great-grandmother, while Mills, is the nickname that Millie is always called. Included in her new line will be a range of products from the Zero Chill Face Mist, Swimming Under the Eye Gel Pads and Like a Light Skin Tint, with prices ranging from $10 to $34. Even better, all of the products are PETA-certified, cruelty-free and vegan. A portion of the proceeds from the brand will be donated to the Olivia Hope Foundation, which was created in honor of Millie’s friend, Olivia Hope LoRusso, who passed away.

In the video Millie posted for the brand, she gushed, “Every young person deserves to have a good start with their skin. I wanted it to be easy to get, fun to use, and still useful but also playing that sophisticated teenager as well.” She continues, “What I want my beauty brand to represent is individuality and embrace who you are. All I know is that I want you to feel yourself.”

Millie’s new beauty brand is so fun and also functional, as there are colorful undereye masks, metallic purple face masks, bright lip colors, and so much more. Speaking to our sister site, WWD, Millie explained why she wanted to start this brand in the first place. “I’ve been in a makeup chair since I was 10, 11 years old, and I have really been introduced to all types of products. I’ve had special effects on my face, blood, all different types of foundation…I wanted to come into the space because there was a gap in the market for young people,” Millie said.

While Millie hasn’t announced an exact release date for the beauty brand, we cannot wait to see her new collection and brand!

Megan Fox lit up the ‘Battle of Jangsari’ red carpet with an utterly sexy outfit: a strapless corset top and high-waisted trousers. This may be one of her best outfits yet.

Megan Fox looked phenomenal as she stepped on the red carpet during a photocall for her new film, Battle of Jangsari, on August 20. The actress, 33, rocked a delicate corset top, paired with high-waisted black pants for the event in Seoul, South Korea, giving off the illusion that she was wearing a chic jumpsuit. Megan’s structured corset, an $800 number from Olivier Theyskens, featured a plunging, sweetheart neckline, a cute bow, and visible boning on the bodice. Her high-waisted, tailored trousers were a perfect complement to the top and a clever take on a tux.

Megan also wore shiny black pumps and an eye-catching gold medallion necklace. She kept her hair in her signature loose waves, and added a pop of color to the ensemble with red lipstick. Wearing a corset top is so Megan. The Jennifer’s Body star is one of the faces (and bodies) of lingerie shop Frederick’s of Hollywood, and she’s known for wearing undergarment-inspired pieces. She’s done bodysuits under jeans to perfection.

We’re so excited to see Megan’s new film, Battle of Jangsari. Megan plays the role of New York Herald Tribune journalist Marguerite Higgins in the Korean War-set drama, which follows the Jangsa Marine landing operation in 1950. During the incident, 772 student soldiers, whose average age was 17, were deployed after just two weeks of boot camp training. As the movie filmed in South Korea, fans were treated to pics of Megan in character in set. And she looked completely unrecognizable with a blonde, curled bob styled in the typical late-1940s, early 1950s fashion.

Something else exciting about the film? K-Pop fans, SHINee‘s Minho (real name Choi Min-ho) stars in the film in his first-ever leading role!

As BTS continues to enjoy their ‘extended period of rest,’ J-Hope was photographed in Los Angeles — and fans are obsessed with his nail art and new blonde highlights!

Jung Hoseok — better known as J-Hope — is doing some solo work during his band, BTS‘, brief hiatus. The singer was seen touching down in the United States on Aug. 18, and fans went crazy over the paparazzi photos that were snapped of him. While J-Hope seemingly tried to go incognito by covering his hair with a bucket hat, the locks at the back of his head were still sticking out from the cap. Of course, the loyal and passionate BTS fans noticed his hair makeover right away! Plus, when he lifted his hand up to fix the hat, fans also noticed he had some sort of design painted onto his nails. SEE THE PHOTOS OF J-HOPE HERE.

“Hoseok has painted nails, blonde hair and is ‘going overseas for promotions’ WHAT,” one excited person wrote on Twitter. Someone else added, “I just woke up and hoseok ??? is in L.A??? with nail polish???? and—these pictures??? can we all slow down a second.” A third fan raved, “WHAT DO YOU MEAN HOSEOK HAS BLONDE HAIR AND IS GOING TO THE US WHAT DO YOU MEAAAANNNNNNNN.” It’s safe to say that the ARMY is not only excited about J-Hope’s new look, but about what he could possibly be doing on a solo trip to the U.S., as well!

The new photos come just eight days after BTS announced that they would be taking a break to “recharge” after an extremely busy few years. “We would like to announce that for the first time since their debut, BTS will be going on an official and extended period of rest and relaxation,” BigHit Entertainment announced on Aug. 11.

The band performed at the Lotte Duty Free Family Concert on the same day as the announcement was made, and BigHit confirmed that it would be their last performance before the break. It is unclear how long this extended period of rest will last, but fans have been super supportive of the decision.

Emily Ratajkowski sizzles in a new strapless bikini from her Inamorata swimwear line! The model shared the new style and prints on Tuesday in ab-baring photos on Instagram. And, we’re loving her new swim collection!

Emily Ratajkowski is every swimsuit lover’s dream! The model, 28, showed off her rock hard abs in a new swimsuit from her Inamorata swimwear line on August 20. Emily took to Instagram to share photos of herself in the line’s new Hygeia top and high-waist bottoms. She modeled the style’s strapless yellow suit with white polkadots, while catching some sunshine in front of a gorgeous bed of palm trees.

The Hygeia style swimsuit comes in three different prints — orange with black leopard spots; green with black cheetah spots; and yellow with white polkadots, as seen on Emily in the below photo. Each strapless top features a sexy twist on a retro cut, with a supportive, thick back band. The suit’s retro bottom has a comfortable and sexy high waist, which is adjustable for the ultimate silhouette. And, the Brazilian cut bottom holds you in all the right places. Emily’s brand new style and prints are available for pre-order and will begin shipping on August 28.

The model’s new launch is fresh off the June 25 release of Inamorata’s BODY collection, which features closet staples everyone woman needs with Pantone colors. The collection’s dream stretch ribbed fabric comes in numerous styles including, strapless crop tops, halter tops and more. The BODY collection also contains pencil skirts, tanks and shorts. The BODY collection followed the launch of her Beacon bathing suit line in February.

Inamorata, which is owned and operated by Emily, is known for its sultry silhouettes and bold prints. Not to mention, the line is super affordable. Inamorata was inspired by the Southern California beach town that Emily grew up in. It’s a body-conscious line that caters to the full spectrum of the female form, as described on the brand’s website!

Cardi B stays looking fierce and of course, her beauty looks are flawless each & every time she steps out. HL caught up with the rapper’s talented makeup artist, Erika La’ Pearl, to get the scoop on her creative looks.

Cardi B, 26, sits atop of the rap music elite, so it only makes sense that her makeup artist, Erika La’ Pearl, is the reigning queen of the cosmetics industry. The makeup maven is breaking boundaries when it comes to the beauty industry and we caught up with her on the red carpet of Beauty Con 2019 to hear all about the ultra creative looks she pulls out for Cardi. “I love the fact that she lets me do my thing as far as doing her makeup, she knows that I have a creative mind, so she doesn’t really be picky about that which I love about her,” Erika tells HollywoodLife. “She’s very patient with me, I just love her…she’s such a sweetheart,” she gushes.

Erika was sure to share how supportive the “Money” rapper has been throughout their time working together. “I just love the fact that she opens a lot of doors for me and she wants me to you know, do me, to expand myself, and I just love her support. She knows that I’m here right now and she’s very proud of me that I’m here,” she sweetly shares. 

The cosmetics expert also dished on what she thinks is the hottest beauty trend of the moment and it’s one fans can try right at home. “I think colors! Bright colors, I know a lot of girls are wearing glitter and stuff like that, and color under the eyes, which I love. That’s [up] my alley. But — I want to start doing more beauty neutrals and stuff like that,” she tells us.

Of course, we couldn’t chat with cosmetics expert without asking for a few tricks and tips of the trade. The artist spilled her key beauty trick for finding a foundation shade that matches your skin tone. “I know a lot of women have problems finding their color. I would say if you can’t find your exact color, just use a shade lighter than your skin and then user powders, contour, bronzers to bring you back to life,” Erika insists.

La La Anthony is one hot Bahama mama on her girls trip to the Caribbean with Kim and Khloe Kardashian. She flaunted her amazing curves in the tiniest of snakeskin print bikinis.

Dangerous curves ahead! La La Anthony is in the Bahamas vacationing with besties Kim, 38, and Khloe Kardashian, 35. The three moms had some fun in the sun and La La got to show off her amazing figure in the process. She donned the absolute tiniest of bikinis and from the smile on her face, she knows how great she looks. In an Aug. 19 Instagram pic, she showed off her itty bitty swimwear, which featured a “Strap Up Beach” snakeskin swim top and “Bad Beaches Only” swim bottom from Naked Wardrobe.

The bottoms were even more racy, as one side featured about an inch of fabric at her hipline while on the right side there was just two small strings going around the hip to connect to the front and there wasn’t much fabric to connect to.  But with an hourglass figure like La La’s, no wonder she wants to show as much skin of her sexy curves as possible!

This definitely wasn’t swimwear for going in the ocean with, as La La stood next to the shoreline in the sand. She closed her eyes and had a massive smile on her face and seemed to radiate joy. The 39-year-old definitely didn’t plan on getting wet as she had a flawless makeup job consisting of long lashes and nude lipstick. Hey, since La La’s vacationing with the KKW Beauty founder, she’s bound to have access to the best products. She wore her hair pulled back in a tight bun and accessorized with massive hoop earrings in the pic.

La La captioned the photo, “Love yourself from the inside out’ ~Dad.” Awww, her father gives great advice! Her vacation buddies absolutely loved the pic. Khloe commented, “You are so beautiful!!!! I love your smile!! The best mama and kiddos trip!!” while Kim agreed, writing “Best Bahamas Trip!!!!” Pal Gabrielle Union, 46, left “❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️” in the comments while Tamar Braxton, 42, told La La, “Hot girl life 🔥🔥.” Everyone is right as La La is absolutely radiant in this photo.

If you’re wondering how celebs always have perfect skin, you’re in luck, because plastic surgeon, Anthony Youn, revealed to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY, what skincare treatments the stars are receiving.

While you may think celebrities have perfect skin due to surgery, that’s actually not always the case and Anthony Youn, M.D., F.A.C.S., America’s Holistic Beauty Doc™ and host of The Holistic Plastic Surgery podcast, spoke to HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY, about what the stars do to look great without surgery. Dr. Youn shared that there are a bunch of different ways to get gorgeous skin without surgery and the number one treatment celebs love to get for smooth skin, is a facial. “Hands down, the celebrity skin-smoothing secret is the Gold Tip Microneedling Facial. Technically, it goes by different names such as the Gold Filltox Facial, the Gold Microinfusion Microneedling Facial, the Gold Tip Facial, and others,” Dr. Youn said. “This is the next generation of microneedling, which combines microneedling using hollow gold-tipped needles, with the very superficial injection of Botox, HA filler, and PRP. While each doctor uses his or her own proprietary formula, it can result in visibly smoother skin, smaller pores, less sweating (important while on the red carpet in the summer!), and less wrinkles. It’s definitely a celebrity secret that has spread by word-of-mouth via Instagram,” Dr. Youn concluded.

While Botox has been around for ages and was once known as the celebrity secret to perfect skin, there’s a new kid on the block that Dr. Youn refers to as, “#Newtox.” “#Newtox is the term given to the newest Botox alternative, Jeuveau. Although it’s injected the same as Botox, studies show that it’s comparable to Botox, and some doctors believe it’s even better. Evolus, the company behind Jeuveau, is led by former Allergan, (makers of Botox), leaders and is expanding via millennials spreading the word on social media.” Regarding whether or not #Newtox will take over Botox completely, Dr. YOun admits, “Time will tell, but it’s become the hot ‘toxin’ of the day for celebs and millennial influencers.”

Another treatment celebs are loving is to reduce fat. “Today’s newest body contouring devices have taken fat reduction one step farther: combining non-invasive fat reduction WITH increasing muscle mass. Yes, the most popular non-invasive body contouring device in Hollywood and beyond is Emsculpt,” Dr. Youn revealed. “This device uses electromagnetic energy to stimulate your muscles to contract 20,000 times in one 30 minute session. Studies show that after four treatments spaced over two weeks, Emsculpt reduces fat by 19%, increases muscle thickness by 15%, and even reduces a diastasis, (space between the abdominal muscles often seen after multiple pregnancies), by 11%,” Dr. Youn revealed.

Diets and supplements are another treatment that celebs have always taken part in and Dr. Youn admits that even though stars are still drinking protein shakes and bone broth, the latest and greatest skin wrinkle reducer that is ingested, are collagen supplements. “Several companies have created collagen powders that dissolve in water and are tasteless, blending into smoothies, coffee, and tea without altering their tastes. Studies show that ingesting collagen can improve the collagen of your skin, so it’s a super-easy way to improve the health of your skin from the inside out,” Dr. Youn shared.

It is absolutely bananas how amazing Elizabeth Hurley looks in a bikini at age 54. She rocked a striped strapless one while enjoying her L.A. summer and showed off the sexy pic.

It’s clear that Elizabeth Hurley has the best genetics ever and the secret to the fountain of youth. The 54-year-old flaunted her body that looks like a 25-year-old’s in a navy and white bikini on Aug. 17. The strapless top featured a bandeau style that held her enviable bust in place while the bottoms were super tiny with itty bitty straps around the hips. Liz recently told Harper’s Bazaar that to keep her insane figure she merely “makes time for exercise” and eats “nutritious foods.” She make it sounds so easy!

Even the actress’ face was flawless and wrinkle free in the photo where she donned yellow tinted heart-shaped sunglasses. Elizabeth has revealed in the past that “I only go in the sun before 9am and after 6pm – otherwise, it’s under a large umbrella,” to avoid UV rays causing damage to her perfect skin. In the photo, her hair looked perfectly beachy in light waves, and the sun-kissed her golden skin. She captioned the pic, “Le weekend #LA #elizabethhurleybeach” proving once again she’s the best spokesmodel ever for her swimwear collection. Now only if we could look as good as she does in that tiny bikini!

Fans absolutely ate it up in the comments. “Forever flawless and stunning,” a man named Andy wrote, while user Tim told her “Beautiful photo of you love the bikini its beautiful on you favourite colour of mine💕💕💕💕💕💕.” One female fan told Liz, “Gorgeous!!! I want to look like when I’m 54! So freaking perfect :)” That sentiment was echoed by another woman named Mika who commented “If I don’t look like you at ur age, I’m gonna be so disappointed 😭❤️.”

Elizabeth has been in LA all summer as she’s filming the Hulu series Runaways, coming aboard for season three as villainess and sorceress Morgan le Fay “Elizabeth Hurley is joining the Marvel Universe, and we couldn’t be more thrilled to have her portraying one of the most enchanting Marvel characters,” says Marvel Television chief Joseph Loeb told our sister site TV line in June.  If her character is as “enchanting” as Liz is in her bikinis, this should be epic TV!

Kourtney Kardashian’s keeping it real about her stretch marks and fans are so proud! The mom-of-3 shared an unedited bikini photo that showed off her ‘little stripes’ on August 13, and she’s never looked more beautiful.

Kourtney Kardashian is one natural woman! The Poosh founder, 40, took to the lifestyle website’s Instagram on Tuesday to post a new photo [SEEN HERE] of herself in a cut-out, black one-piece swimsuit. In the photo, which was taken on a boat during her recent European vacation, fans noticed visible stretch marks on her left thigh.

“Thank you so much for not editing out your stretch marks!!” one user commented on the photo. Kourtney replied with a smiley face emoji, admitting, “I love my little stripes.” The comment was followed by an influx of other supportive messages from fans who praised the mother-of-three for embracing the skin she’s in. “I love the fact that you let your stretch marks show! Proud, hot Mama!!”, another fan wrote. “Oh wow not air brushed. You can actually see her stretch marks and this is what a real body looks like! I love it,” one user gushed.

Kourtney, along with sons, Mason, 9, Reign, 4, and daughter Penelope, 7, have been traveling together since mid-July. First, the family explored Costa Rica, where they spent time a boat and took in the sights and sun. Next, they traveled to Italy where they spent more time outdoors and indulged in the delicious Italian foods the country has to offer. Kourtney shared photos of herself and the kids in numerous cities including, Sardegna and Portofino.

While the trip is certainly for pleasure, it appears as though Kourtney is doing a bit of content cultivating for Poosh. She announced a new collaboration with Aquis, who she teamed up with to design a custom, limited-edition leopard hair turban that reduces breakage and damage.

Kourtney recently opened up about Poosh, and recalled a time in her life when she began questioning what her “thing” is after her sisters began branching out into their own projects and brands. Fans of the famous family will know that Kylie Jenner has her Kylie Cosmetics company, Kim Kardashian has her new shape-wear line, along with KKW Beauty, and Khloe Kardashian heads her own athleisure brand, Good American.

“We used to do all of our projects together, so when we started splitting up and doing our own, I think I felt like, ‘Well what’s my thing?'” Kourtney said in an interview with Glamour (published in August), referencing her sisters. “Everybody would put this pressure on me, even though I really just wanted to focus on being a mom. I didn’t want to take on something else. But once I really took the time to do it, once I figured out when the time was right for me — and that it really fit into my life without overwhelming me — then it became fulfilling.”

Kourtney went on to explain her purpose behind launching Poosh. “… I just wanted to have a space where I could open up a conversation — where instead of being judgmental or being like ‘this is the way and that’s it,’ the site offers things to learn about,” she said. “…I’ve learned so much from starting Poosh, even on topics that I may have wanted to know about but didn’t have the time to research. We’re finding out so much and are able to share that.”

Rihanna flaunted her sexy body in a fire new Instagram photo to promote her latest Savage X Fenty Lingerie drop!

Rihanna, 31, is giving us some serious “Wild Thoughts”! The Fenty Beauty founder is seen posing in nothing but a lavender bra and panties in a campaign photo for her newest Savage X Fenty collection posted Thursday, August 15. Riri proudly shows off her sexy curves in the photo, including a side profile look at her incredible derrière, as she seductively poses on a bed in the vintage-themed image — SEE THE PIC HERE!

The Barbados native is rocking a serious island glow, as she gives the camera a sweet and seductive smile while she places her hands on her thighs.

Wearing less makeup than usual, the pop star looks pretty and natural as her luscious locks cascade down her back. We are also loving her summer-ready turquoise nails!

To complete her bedroom-ready look, Rihanna pairs the stunning lingerie set — which features an animal print and racy mesh details — with a sky high pair of heels, and bracelets on both wrists. The sexy snap was taken by celebrity photographer Dennis Leupold, who also took some seriously steamy photos of Shawn Mendes and Camila Cabello for the promotion of “Senorita.”

As always, fans jumped in on the comments, immediately reacting to their Queen’s fire photo. “Okay ummm idk how she does it, but HOW IS SHE SO PERFECTLY GORGEOUS?! I’M SO SHOOK😭😭😍😍💕,” one fan commented. “Why is she so damn gorgeous 😍” another posted. “I’ve always been insecure about my body, but when I got my first pairs of undies by @savagexfenty…I felt really good!!…You guys really made me feel prettier and so much better about my body. 🙌🏼”, a third person shared.

Rihanna has been keeping busy lately, kicking off the week with an epic shopping trip to Eataly at Los Angeles’ ritzy Century City Mall (where, by the way, she was pushing her own cart). She was also out on a dinner date with her billionaire boyfriend Hassan Jameel, along with her mom and brother, at the semi-private Mason in Santa Monica.

Hannah Godwin stars in a new Kensie campaign & looks drop-dead-gorgeous as she bares it all in nothing but a pair of jeans for the sexy new shoot.

Hannah Godwin, current Bachelor in Paradise star, just landed her very first fashion campaign with Kensie and she looks flawless in nothing but skinny jeans. The 24-year-old former Bachelor contestant is the new face of Kensie’s fall campaign, ‘Make Pretty Powerful,’ and she goes completely topless in the seriously sexy photos, where she is pictured in a slew of sexy outfits. In one photo, she can be seen climbing a ladder while wearing a pair of skintight high-waisted, dark-wash skinny jeans, while wearing no top or bra, and just covering her breasts with her arms. In another photo, Hannah is pictured in a lighter was skinny jeans with buttons up the front and is topless again, but this time she covered up her chest with a bouquet of flowers. Aside from her sexy photos, Hannah also poses in some pretty fall dresses including a halterneck purple and pink patterned maxi dress with a ruffled skirt and a mustard yellow lace tea-length frock.

The brand’s new campaign is all about empowering hard-working women and Hannah couldn’t help but gush about it saying, “‘Make Pretty Powerful,’– it’s about being confident in yourself, owning it, being you, loving yourself and your flaws. To me, Kensie is a lifestyle, it’s for that girl that’s busy and on the go, she’s a girl on a mission, but she’s also chic and classy. I’ve been a Kensie fan for a long time so it’s amazing to now be at the forefront of this new campaign.” Meanwhile, Ralph Gindi, COO, said about Hannah, “She certainly showed that pretty can be powerful after America watched her rebound from heartbreak to find… her happy ever after. We know that Bachelor Nation will be excited to see all of the ads and videos, and will have the opportunity to meet Hannah in person, at Macy’s Herald Square, during her first appearance on behalf of the Kensie brand.”

Bachelor fans get excited because Hannah will be making an appearance in September at Macy’s Herald Square in New York City, as part of the brand’s VIP Week, where she will host a meet and greet with fans all while promoting the new fall Kensie collection.

The new collection is currently available at department stores nationwide, and online at http://www.kensie.com. Included in the collection is workout gear, denim, outerwear, swimwear, dresses, shoes, accessories including handbags, jewelry, eyewear and watches, fragrances, and even kids apparel.
