The high street got a taste of movie-star glamour this week when M&S announced that Transformers star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley and Hollywood actor Ryan Reynolds are fronting its new ad campaign.
There’s no denying the sexy twosome positively smoulder in the new shots. And, with hot D&G model David Gandy (The Saturdays’ Mollie’s current squeeze) as the new face of menswear, I predict a stampede of lady shoppers keen to get a look at the store’s new-season trends!
M&S has definitely turned up the heat for autumn/winter – I tracked down a floppy felt fedora with feather trim (£19.50), shown below. It’s the best I’ve found on the high street and perfect for nailing that 70s trend.But if 40s curve-hugging glamour is more your thing, check out the fab fuchsia wrap dress (£59) that Rosie wears in the new ads. It’s a real figure-flatterer. I’ve also got my eye on a cute sequinned mini-skirt (£55), which rocks the 60s look.
Another retro trend you’ll find at M&S this season (and everywhere else on the high street) is mustard. This week movie star Angelina Jolie, was spied picking up a £42 mustard camisole top at French Connection on London’s King’s Road. Elsewhere, Hollywood A-listers have been speaking out against the cosmetic surgery culture in the movie world. Three top actresses – Kate Winslet, Rachel Weisz and Emma Thompson – have joined forces to form the British Anti-Cosmetic Surgery League.
It’s reassuring to know there are still those who refuse to bow to the pressure of going under the knife. Actress and star of Glee, Leah Michelle, also revealed how she’d been told countless times to get her nose fixed. Thankfully, she never did and her nose is one of her most striking features. I can relate to this – after breaking my nose playing netball at school the resulting bump caused much distress 
over the years, but I was way too chicken to consider fixing it. Sometimes it worked in my favour – working as a model in Paris, for example, my nose was admired for its Gallic proportions. In the States, though, the size of my conk in relation to everyone else’s made me feel like an extra from the Marx Brothers!

But if truth be told, they all look drop-dead gorgeous as they are.
