This Week's Best Dressed

Cannes may have brought the week's lion's share of red-carpet glamour, but elsewhere there were still plenty of gorgeous looks to inspire.

Kate Moss showed off her unfailing chicness — and some supershiny blond locks — at the Marie Curie fund-raiser in London, where she celebrated in an elegant black column gown, with husband Jamie Hince. Across the pond at the American Ballet Theatre's Gala in New York, fellow supermodels Alek Wek and Jessica Stam looked equally striking in monochrome Valentino gowns. Costars Charlize Theron and Kristen Stewart also played a game of fashion doppelgänger: at the London premiere of Snow White and the Huntsman, the duo hit a pitch-perfect note in complementary sheer gowns by Christian Dior and Marchesa, respectively.

See it all — plus more of the week's best — right here.

Those stories and more in our daily news roundup.

Kate Moss wears a bevy of designers in the June issue of Harper's Bazaar, including Salvatore Ferragamo, Calvin Klein, and Alexander McQueen. Moss was photographed by Terry Richardson and styled by Andrew Richardson (no relation). [Fashion Etc.]
Miranda Kerr says her favorite runway job was for Balenciaga because she "was pregnant at the time, so my son Flynn and I walked the catwalk together," Kerr said. "He was in my belly, so it made it really special." [Vogue UK]
Jenna Lyons says Iris Apfel should be tasked with reviving the Schiaparelli brand now that it's coming back to the market. "She's so full of life and she's got an incredible attitude. I don’t think she'd want to, but I think she would be amazing," Lyons said. [Page Six]
Erin Heatherton, face of Victoria's Secret's fitness line, VSX, has plenty of wellness tips but says she doesn't fret about what she eats. "You can't stress too much about it. I work out and I eat right and I can't be too hard on myself about making mistakes." [FitSugar]
Glamour will devote its entire September issue to fashion, using every editorial page for some kind of style coverage. Readers can follow the progress of the issue on Glamour's Pinterest page. [Glamour]

Modeling takes serious skill, and one need look no further for proof of that than this video of Coco Rocha posing — sometimes in midair — for Target.

Modeling takes serious skill, and one need look no further for proof of that than this video of Coco Rocha posing — sometimes in midair — for Target.

Part of Rocha's job as guest editor of the Target Style Tumblr included some strategic jumping in front of photographer Tony Kim's camera, which was captured in this mesmerizing video exploring what goes into a cover shot. Each time Rocha launches herself into the air, she creates a new expression with her body. Watch it right here.

Happy Birthday, Emmanuelle Alt

It's been well over a year since Emmanuelle Alt took the helm of Vogue Paris, and while the aesthetic of that magazine may have changed, one thing's for certain: Alt's personal style has not.

It's been well over a year since Emmanuelle Alt took the helm of Vogue Paris, and while the aesthetic of that magazine may have changed, one thing's for certain: Alt's personal style has not. In fact, if there's one thing that can be said about Alt, it's that she definitely sticks to a look.

"Her style is her big shoulders, long legs, tight jeans, sleeves up to the elbow, one hip out. I personally like her. She’s a handsome French woman," Karl Lagerfeld has said of the minimalistic, admittedly low-maintenance editor in chief. "I don't look after myself. I don't do yoga, Pilates, those things. I hate physical effort, I don't run anywhere, but I am superenergetic. Makeup? I just black my eyes, and that's it. My hair? I get it cut on set. I never go to a hairdresser. I'm not sure I'm French," Alt has said.

Regardless, we think the überstylist's French appeal is quite apparent. So in honor of her May 18 birthday — and her refreshingly low-key chic — we've gathered up some of our favorite Alt-in-uniform style moments. Bon anniversaire!

Vogue Germany Tells "The Naked Truth" For Health Initiative Issue

For its June 2012 issue, German Vogue tapped Peter Lindbergh for a series of black-and-white portraits that reveal — and celebrate — what other magazines often try to hide.

by Justin Fenner

For its June 2012 issue, German Vogue tapped Peter Lindbergh for a series of black-and-white portraits that reveal — and celebrate — what other magazines often try to hide.

The resulting editorial, cleverly named "The Naked Truth," features German models Toni Garnn and Nadja Auermann, as well as actress Nina Hoss and photographer Donata Wenders, among others, in various states of undress.

Lindbergh's sometimes raw images were taken under the new Vogue Health Initiative, which asks the magazine's 19 editions to portray a healthier, more inclusive image of women in their pages. June issues of 18 of those magazines will be dedicated to health and wellness — American Vogue featured Olympic athletes and French Vogue asked Gisele Bundchen for advice on staying fit. Vogue Japan's healthy issue will bow in July.

Take a look at German Vogue's effort here in the gallery.
