Rosie Huntington Whiteley goes sheer in Gucci

Model and now actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley has been making the rounds to promote the upcoming Transformers movie. In addition to her stunning cover on Women’s Health, she closes out her promotion duties in a gorgeous floral Gucci number with a sheer bottom. Earlier in the week, she showed some leg while sporting another sheer, belted dress, this time by Michael Kors.

Stylist’s Corner: Steal this look (Watercolor print dresses)

Reese Witherspoon in a watercolor print dress

Summer is the time to experiment with a melange of beautiful colors and this summer all the gorgeous colors we love are coming together to form an irresistible watercolor print. The boldness of this print takes inspiration from the 70s era which dominated the catwalks for spring and summer.

The watercolor print is easy to dress up or down. You can take it to the beach, lunch or dinner. It’s bold yet practical and works with a variety of skin tones. It will also carry effortlessly into fall which means you’ll be getting a lot of use from it. Check out the Stars already in love with this print.

Below is a picture of me wearing one of my favorite watercolor print dresses pre-spring. For summer, I pair it with bold-hued strappy sandals (both high-heeled and flat) or dark cognac colored wedges. You can also throw on a boyfriend blazer to tone the colors down. This addition works whether you’re dressing up or going casual. What are your thoughts on the watercolor print? Would you wear it?

Transformers’ Rosie Huntington-Whiteley covers Women’s Health – Talks Shia, eating habits and that body

 

Rosie Huntington Whiteley covers Women's Health

Model-turned-actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley graces the cover of the July/August issue of Women’s Health (on newsstands June 28) and opens up about her career and getting in butt-kicking shape to fight intergalactic bad guys alongside Shia LaBeouf in the upcoming summer blockbuster Transformers: Dark of the Moon.

Rosie on people meeting her…

“People always tell me, ‘Gosh, you’re so nice! Like they expect me to be a huge bitch.”

Rosie on how she has fun…

“I love to go out, dance, and have a drink!”

Rosie on shooting Transformers…

“Shia [LaBeouf] made it clear this wasn’t just about becoming a movie star. The shooting schedule was going to be grueling.”

“You’re in the sun all day long—dirty and smelly. It was like boot camp.”

Rosie on having a fitness instructor mother…

“As children we were never allowed to sit around watching TV or playing computer games.”

Rosie on drinking “green shakes” made by blending five fistfuls of fresh spinach, three stalks of celery, and three apples…

“A year ago, if someone had told me that I was going to drink this stuff, I would have laughed. Then I needed some pep. Knock this back and you’ve got energy!”

Rosie on eating clean…

“Thinking about the things that go into processed foods—chemicals, additives. Sometimes you go into a supermarket and the apples are all the same size and color, but that’s not what apples are supposed to look like. Go to an orchard or an organic farm, and the apples are sometimes knobby, but they taste better.”

Rosie on her outlook on life… “I like to dive into things. You only live once.”

Rosie on her outlook on life…

“I like to dive into things. You only live once.”

Rosie on her Transformers costar…

“Shia has an amazing sense of humor.”

Rosie on her personality…

“I’m girlie, but I’m also a tomboy. I’m a split personality like that.”

Trend spotting: A summer of stripes

Eva Longoria dresses up her Enza costa striped shirt and white shorts with nude pumps

The nautical look is nothing new. It’s almost expected to make a showing every spring and summer and this year is no exception. What we love most about this look is it’s freshness and crispness. Striped pieces are a big part of the nautical look and they never fail to bring that preppy chic factor to an outfit….completely effortless and yet so well put together…now who could resist that.
