Kristen Stewart to be the face of Balenciaga perfumes

Kristen Stewart has been announced as the new face of Balenciaga’s fragrances. The “Twilight Saga” star, who has previously confessed to not knowing much about the fashion world, said she is excited to be involved with the "cool" brand as she has always been a big fan of the Spanish design house. "Balenciaga has always stood out to me. Even when I first began to consider fashion and admittedly rarely knew the brand I was wearing, I always knew and loved Balenciaga. It feels full circle to be involved with something that spoke to me then and of course continues to excite me now. The brand is just cool. That’s the way it is," Stewart said.

Creative director of the brand Nicolas Ghesquiere said the 21-year-old actress was great for Balenciaga because of her progressive character.

"Kristen embodies the modernity of the new Balenciaga fragrance with her unique sensibility and intelligence. I’ve always sensed her progressive character. In 2006, I invited her to appear in a project shot by Bruce Weber. Since then, I’ve always wished to collaborate with her further, knowing that she shares the radical spirit of Balenciaga," Ghesquiere added.

Jennifer Hudson trying to find out how to dress

Singer-actress Jennifer Hudson says she is still trying to figure out how to dress her new figure after losing over 80lbs over the past two years. The 30-year-old has lost over 80lbs since giving birth to son David in August 2009 and while she has developed a new love of fashion, she still can’t decide on what look she wants to go for. "I just love fashion now. It’s so much more flexible, and there are so many more options out there now. I feel like my own little Barbie doll - I get to dress myself up. I hated heels before, but that’s all I wear now.

"But because it’s a new body, I’m trying to find out, how do I want to be perceived? Who is this new me? I knew how to be the big girl, but now I have to find out how to be this girl," Hudson said.

Although, she is happy with her new figure, the singer recently said she was furious when she was photoshopped by a magazine to look slimmer than she was. "It’s like, ‘Where’s the rest of me?’ They Photoshopped me probably to the size I am now on that cover, when we all know I was nowhere near that.

Beyonce designs T-shirt for Obama’s re-election campaign

Singer Beyonce Knowles has designed a T-shirt to support the Obama campaign.

The R and B star’s 45-dollar crew-neck top will help to raise crucial funds for the 2012 re-election effort. The former Destiny’s Child member, who last week became a parent for the first time with rapper husband Jay-Z, is one of more than 20 designers fashioning garments for well-wishers to buy.

Other designers include Russell Simmons, Sean ‘Diddy’ Combs, Tory Burch, Vera Wang, and Diane von Fursternberg, many of whom helped with the similar 2008 ‘Runway to Change’ project.

This year’s ‘Runway to Win’ project has fierce fashion credentials -it is organized by Vogue editor and long-time Obama supporter Anna Wintour.

The singer’s mom Tina Knowles, who manages the Beyonce’s own House of Dereon line, collaborated in designing the t-shirt, which is embellished with Obama phrases including the ubiquitous “Yes we can.”

With 2012 already upon us the Obamas have been looking for some star power to boost their campaign hopes.

The shirt is available for pre-order now, and the garments officially go on sale online Feb 7.
