New Diet Coke bottles designed by Marc Jacobs

Divabetic

Diet Coke named Marc Jacobs as its creative director for 2013 and last night, he revealed his creative designs for the fizzy bottles and cans at a bash in London. Each bottle displays a striking model, one sporting a suit and top hat, another in a feminine pink gown, and the final one portraying a chic woman in monochrome stripes.

As part of year-long partnership with the drink brand set up to celebrate Diet Coke’s 30th birthday, Jacobs designed the collection of bottles and cans, which are set to be unveiled across 11 countries including Britain, France and Iceland.

The illustrations represent the drink’s 30th anniversary, which is why they feature graphic drawings inspired by the ’80s, ’90s, and ’00 decades. “Diet Coke is an icon… and I love an icon,” Jacobs said in a statement.

Cute, right? Too bad we can’t buy them just yet .. the products are only available in eleven European countries including Britain, France and Iceland.

Grammys Go Granny with New Dress Code

Grammys Go Granny

What would Joan Rivers say?

So long ‘Joan Rangers‘ there’s a new style sheriff in town.

CBS Standards and Practices are acting like the FASHION POLICE for celebrities attending Sunday night’s Grammy Awards.

CBS Standards and Practices issued an e-mail that goes into excruciating detail as to what must be covered, including “bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack” and “[b]are sides or under curvature of the breasts.” Appropriate clothing was also outlined, including a ban on “sheer see-through clothing that could  possibly expose female breast nipples.”

Pop Music is now officiallly ‘Prude Music’

Here is the e-mail in full for Lil Kim and her stylist as reprinted on Deadline.com

CBS Program Practices advises that all talent appearing on camera please adhere to Network policy concerning wardrobe.

Please be sure that buttocks and female breasts are adequately covered. Thong type costumes are problematic. Please avoid exposing bare fleshy under curves of the buttocks and buttock crack. Bare sides or under curvature of the breasts is also problematic. Please avoid sheer see-through clothing that could  possibly expose female breast nipples. Please be sure the genital region is adequately covered so that there is no visible “puffy” bare skin exposure. Please avoid commercial identification of actual brand name products on T-shirts. Foreign language on wardrobe will need to be cleared. OBSCENITY OR PARTIALLY SEEN OBSCENITY ON WARDROBE IS UNACCEPTABLE FOR BROADCAST. This as well, pertains to audience members that appear on camera. Finally, The Network requests that any organized cause visibly spelled out on talent’s wardrobe be avoided. This would include lapel pins or any other form of accessory.

Why not strip the live performances of all the auto-tuning, backing tracks and special effects that have plagued Beyonce in recent weeks? Now that would mkae sense. #grammys

Israel Bans Undeweight Models

Israel’s new law banning too-skinny models from appearing in advertisements went into effect. Under the groundbreaking law, any model with a body mass index (BMI) under 18.5 (an indicator of malnutrition, according to the World Health Organization) will be prevented from working.

Even before Israel’s law passed, both Madrid and Milan banned models with a BMI under 18.5 from their fashion weeks. In New York, however, no such strict restrictions have been issued; and according to CFDA CEO Steven Kolb, none will. Kolb confirmed to WSJ that the CFDA has no plans to push for a U.S. law banning models under a certain weight or BMI. “We never had an approach of mandate or enforce,” he said. “We created awareness and education.”

Taylor Swift’s Stunning 70′s Look at Mtv Video Awards

Divabetic’s Diva Inspiration for September,  Taylor Swift also wowed in white at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) last night.  We think she seemed to be channeling Bianca Jagger circa Studio 54 on the red carpet  in a white pantsuit from J. Mendel. Not everyone agreed. Some fashion critics said the singer looked she was headed straight from work to a PTA meeting (rather than a music awards show) as she stepped onto the red carpet wearing Goldie Hawn’s white suit from First Wives Club.

Later the blonde beauty  performed her latest hit ‘We Are Never Ever Getting Back Together ‘during the show – opted for a tailored white trouser suit to walk the red carpet. The singer kept things simple, wearing her hair loose and teaming the chic look with metallic gold sandals.

Rhianna Shines in White at MTV Video Music Awards

Superstar Rihanna was a vision in white at the MTV Video Music Awards (VMAs) last night.

The stunning songstress appeared on the red carpet rocking her new short, sweet, jet-black pixie cut hairstyle, while wearing a flowing white floor-length gown.

The sleek white backless dress boasted a knot detail at the waist which flattered Rihanna’s famously svelte figure.

The raven-haired beauty teamed the elegant look with nude strappy sandals and kept the outfit free from any accessories, making sure all eyes were on her new look.

Rihanna added a touch of her signature vamp with a slick of red lipstick to complete her otherwise ethereal look.

From a performance from Cyndi Lauper at Manolo Blahnik, a karaoke sessions at Michael Kors, to Mr. Divabetic‘s roving red tomato carpet at the Yotel this year’s FNO will see the industry’s power players let their hair down.

Katy Perry Wears Completely Sheer Dress

Divabetic’s Diabetes Roundtable diva inspiration for July, Katy Perry looks like she’s been listening to Joan Jett & the Blackhearts’ classic, ‘I Love Rock N’ Roll’ song for style inspiration this weekend. She attended a birthday party in Santa Monica, CA wearing a see-through dress — like, completely sheer. The black mesh dress has a very 80′s, Vanity 6,  retro vibe and revealed her bra,  panties and boots — it was floor length!

Party guests must have been’ wide awake’ once Katy stepped into the room wearing this revealing outfit.

The Part Of Me starlet wore biker boots, a leather jacket and a rosary straight from Madonna‘s Lucky Star jewelry box. We probably wouldn’t have even taken a second look at Katy’s outfit had it not been so blatantly risqué.

Is Katy starting a new trend?

She recently appeared at the MuchMusic Video Awards wearing a sparkly see-through bodysuit  which was a little too sheer for many audience members.

Lea Michele Looks Amazing in Backless Dress

Glee star Lea Michele stole the spotlight at the Chrysalis Butterfly Ball wearing a high-necked, long-sleeved Emilio Pucci gown that was totally backless.

Perfect for those sexy over-the-shoulder red carpet poses, right?

Lea paired her sexy pastel look with Jerome C. Rousseau shoes, Pomellato jewels, a Fendi bag and those dramatic hairstyle with blunt bangs.

Lea Michele also revealed that her new love interest on Glee will “not give up” pursuing her in the new season of the hit show.

Explaining what will happen when Rachel arrives at NYADA, Lea told The Hollywood Reporter that Brody, played by Terra Nova‘s Dean Geyer, will not give up on her.

She said: “He’s definitely interested in her, but I think that she is very hesitant because she doesn’t really know where things stand with Finn.

“She doesn’t want to make any moves before she knows where they stand and Brody’s not going to give up.”
