Marc Jacobs is always game to strip down for advertising's sake. Remember when this happened?

Jacobs's new coke bottles, which are printed with fashion sketches, will be released later this month, in an effort to bring some "sex and glamour" to the drink.

In the meantime, we have this teaser video, where Marc gets frisky in a photo booth with a can of Diet Coke. "I still think it’s hysterical people want me to take my shirt off. You know, I’m going to be 50 in two months, so I guess I should be glad,” Jacobs told WWD of his perpetual toplessness. “It feels like the decade of me taking my shirt off."

Kobe Bryant's Wife is Soooo Over Hermes Birkins & Chanel 2.55s

Vanessa Bryant married Kobe Bryant when she was still in high school, stuck by his side through a cheating scandal, and is now publicly trying to make it work after already filing for divorce. With all of that hullabaloo surrounding her personal life, she just opened up to New York Magazine and talked about how she's soooo over luxury handbags.

You need to read this outrageous excerpt for yourself:

I'm not really a handbag person anymore. I've collected Birkin bags, Chanel 2.55 jumbo flap bags, and the Marc Jacobs Stephen Sprouse collection for Louis Vuitton since I was a teenager. But now, as they say, everyone and their mom is buying a Birkin or a regular size 2.55 bag in black, taupe, or beige. I've been sticking to a magenta suede Proenza Schouler bag.

I can't say that I hate her for the statement. Who wants something that everyone has/had? Thats the point of exclusive items for the elite. I wouldn't want the same bag that a stripper in Atl could afford. It's like having the taxes drop on your property because everyone who has bought a piece is so common.

HAHA!

Marc Jacobs Partnering with Sephora on Makeup Line

First the clothes, then the fragrances, and now the makeup. The word is Marc Jacobs will soon be putting his name on a color cosmetics collection that will find the designer breaking new ground for his illustrious brand.

WWD reported Tuesday that Jacobs will be hooking up with cosmetics retailer Sephora for the new line. "I see makeup, fragrance—everything, really—as an opportunity," he said. "The idea of choosing a color for your lip, or an eyeliner—it's just such a delight. The ritual of waking up and making those choices is something people really enjoy."

Jacobs won't be the first designer to launch a cosmetics collection. Tom Ford, Dolce & Gabanna and Giorgio Armani all currently have makeup lines while many other designers have partnered with companies like MAC or OPI and Zoya to create special collections.

Since Jacobs' collaboration with Sephora has only just begun there's no word yet on when we can expect to see the products in stores. Right now we can only speculate on what's to come, but based on Jacobs' thoughts on fashion, we can't wait to see what he comes up with: "It's not necessary, it's something you want—it's a fancy and a whim."

Christian Louboutin To Design Special Baby Shoes For Blue Ivy!

Beyoncé Knowles has reportedly asked the famous shoe designer Christian Louboutin to design a pair of shoes for two-month-old Blue Ivy Carter! The new designer shoes will include his coveted red soles and be made solely for Blue.

Beyonce would like to match with her new baby girl as much as possible. After all, the mommy-daughter duo was recently spotted in matching pairs of Marc Jacobs’ gold ballet flats. So we're betting Bey will get Mr. Louboutin to design a big girl version too.

Blue Ivy isn't even six months old and she already has designer requests in the queue. We can't wait to see the little bundle of joy in her red bottoms. Infants around the world will be jealous! Take that Suri.

Beyonce is back! We've been gushing over her sweet moments with Blue Ivy, but were craving some of her distinctive high-fashion looks. 

For a cocktail party with Michelle Obama and then to dinner with Jay-Z, she chose to wear this blue sheath from Victoria Beckham (enough name-dropping in that sentence?). This versatile ensemble, however, was all about the accessories: A killer Lanvin eagle necklace and platform Nicholas Kirkwoods.

Looking for date inspiration, ladies? Take some cues from the pop queen. A classic dress with statement jewelry and a sleek ponytail is foolproof.
