We couldn’t be more excited to reveal that Lana Del Rey is British Vogue’s March 2012 cover girl, posing prettily for photography legend Mario Testino in a gorgeous Louis Vuitton outfit. 

We should have known that the fashion bible had snapped up THE biggest rising talent of the year so far for the all-important March issue, yet we had no idea – hence our excited but very surprised reaction when we first found out.

We love the soft, elegant and feminine vibe the issue initially gave off, which plays to Lana’s femininity beautifully. We would have thought that, as a self-branded “gangster Nancy Sinatra”, her cover would have been slightly edgier, but we honestly can’t fault British Vogue’s vision.

Despite our earlier gushing, we think Vogue should have chosen any of the editorial pictures below for the cover instead, but that’s the only critique we can give. Cannot wait to get our hands on this!

Kudos to Alexandra Shulman and Mario Testino!

Country/pop singing sensation (and all-round cutie-pie) Taylor Swift may have graced the cover of countless glossies, including Teen Vogue, but this is her first time as a Vogue cover girl… and we have to say we are loving her debut! Snaps to Anna Wintour for making this happen! 

There was some confusion surrounding Taylor Swift’s American Vogue cover, as it was initially speculated she would grace the all-important March issue, until it was discovered that the honour would most likely be going to Adele.

Nevertheless, we think having Taylor on the front of the February issue is a very clever idea, given that Valentine’s Day falls in the month of February. Not only did Miss Swift appear in a film of the very same name a few years ago, but you’d struggle to find someone who isn’t even just a little bit in love with her.

We can’t wait to see what the rest of the editorial holds, as it apparently continues with the bohemian theme demonstrated in the picture below. Taylor poses in array of clothes from Rodarte’s spring/summer 2012 collection, including the dress below, which was seen on Elle Fanning last week at the Critics Choice Awards.

It’s amazing what Mario Testino’s fine photography and some good fringe action (bangs, for our readers overseas) can do!

It’s time for a little guessing game this morning, guys. We want you to put your heads together to try and think which famous musician had a daughter 11 years ago that might possibly look like this… 

Give up? Ok, we’ll tell you… this 11-year-old beauty, who goes by the name of Anais, is actually the daughter of a certain Mr Noel Gallagher (of Oasis fame) and his ex-wife Meg Mathews.

So proud was Anais’ mum of the picture the legendary Mario Testino took of her daughter that she posted it to her Twitter page several times yesterday. Aww, that’s a proud mum right there!

Anais Gallagher has just signed to Select Model Management, so get ready to see more of this little lady (tipped to become the next Kate Moss) in the near future!

It was only a few weeks ago we were gushing about the all-new Burberry Prorsum campaign images featuring brand favourites Cara Delevingne and Eddie Redmayne, but now we have a whole new selection to glance at! 

Burberry promised to release new images from the chic but playful Spring/Summer 2012 campaign shot by Mario Testino every month, and we’re delighted that it has kept its word.

Not only do we have brand spanking new campaign shots of Cara and Eddie rocking some of the brand’s hottest pieces, but we’ve also managed to get our hands on some cheeky behind the scenes pictures too, all of which you can check out in our gallery.

And finally (we spoil you, we know) we’re treating you to a special video of Eddie and Cara posing in the classic parka to the tune of Everlasting Love. A notion that describes our feelings towards Burberry perfectly!

Cara Delevingne and Eddie Redmayne are the stars of Burberry Prorsum’s spring/summer 2012 advertising campaigns, looking chic, playful and inevitably gorgeous in their Burberry getup. 

“We wanted to capture a moment in the lives of two exciting and inspiring British actors who have been part of the Burberry family for several years,” sais Burberry CEO Christopher Bailey. “The images reflect the mood of the collection through Eddie’s and Cara’s energy, playfulness and effortless elegance and I have such huge admiration for them both.”

Can’t argue with that! The pair were photographed by Burberry-fave (and all-round fashion fave) Mario Testino in London, and apparently enjoyed a good few days of fooling around with each other while shooting.

“Christopher wanted something playful from the shoot and so Cara and I had a genius couple of days fooling around,” said Eddie. “Hopefully the enjoyment we had is reflected in the campaign.”

This is the first time a couple has featured in the brand’s ad campaigns since Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Sam Riley’s smouldering efforts in 2008. We assume Burberry refrained from doing so because Rosie and Sam did such a good job of it, but Cara and Eddie are the perfect pair to give them a run for their money.

As much as we love sexy Hollywood screen sirens like Scarlett Johansson representing one of our favourite brands, we can’t say we aren’t excited when it comes to welcoming a brand new face – and the new girl at Dolce and Gabbana is gorgeous British actress Felicity Jones, who we imagine is thrilled to be joining the D&G family. 

“Representing a heady mix of sensuality, confidence and beauty, Felicity Jones offers a sense of divine contradiction,” the Dolce and Gabbana designers said in a statement. “Classically beautiful yet modern in attitude, her audacious gaze is impossible to ignore.”

You may recognise the 28-year-old actress – who originally hailed from Birmingham – from her childhood days of playing Ethel Hallow in nineties children’s show The Worst Witch.  She has since blossomed into a beautiful English rose and acclaimed actress, working alongside legends such as Maggie Gyllenhaal, Rupert Everett and Guy Pearce.

This isn’t Felicity’s first foray into fashion however, as she once posed in front of Mario Testino’s lens for Burberry and also covered Tatler’s March issue with Gossip Girl hottie Ed Westwick. Nice!

We can totally see why she captured the attention of Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana and we can’t wait to see her take on her official advertising campaign duties. Rumour has it that her first role will be to promote Dolce and Gabbana make-up in adverts that are set to land as early as January next year. Watch this space!
