Jessica Biel

This Week's Best Dressed

Supermodels, supermodels, and more supermodels — the week was filled with them.
Best-Dressed Models and Celebrities Week of July 30, 2012

Supermodels, supermodels, and more supermodels — the week was filled with them. Victoria's Secret models Candice Swanepoel and Bregje Heinen, for example; the duo made quite the pair in two sets of corresponding dresses at the launch of Body by Victoria at the SoHo store in New York.

Coco Rocha was out and about in New York as well, where she walked the red carpet at the premiere of Total Recall. In a slim black dress with gold beaded sleeves and little black ankle booties, Rocha was (as usual) the picture of laid-back glam.

But the most exciting supermodel sightings of all? Carol Alt and Pat Cleveland. The legendary stunners turned heads at several events around New York in honor of the new documentary About Face: Supermodels Then and Now, in which both appear. At the very intimate Rose Bar screening of the film at the Gramercy Hotel, for example, the two were just as chic as ever: Alt in a curve-hugging shift dress and an arm full of beaded bracelets and Cleveland in an incredible ivory column dress with an asymmetrical neckline.

All those — plus Devon Aoki, Joan Smalls, and the many Total Recall premiere ensembles of Jessica Biel — here, in the slideshow.

Lacoste

The Most Likeable Fashion Brands on Facebook

Congratulations are in order for Lacoste, which just became one of a handful of fashion brands whose Facebook profiles have received over 10 million "likes."
Lacoste Gets 10 Million Facebook Likes

Congratulations are in order for Lacoste, which just became one of a handful of fashion brands whose Facebook profiles have received over 10 million "likes." But what about the other brands in this pantheon of likability, and where do other labels that are beloved in the real world rank in the digital standings?

Converse currently leads the pack of clothing and apparel brands on Facebook with a whopping 32.4 million likes. Adidas is second with 15.2 million, and Zara makes for a close third at just over 14 million. Then comes Burberry with 13 million. Levi's, H&M, and Lacoste all follow in close succession.

While some of the world's biggest luxury brands sit comfortably above the 5 million "like" mark, others fall beneath it. For its part, Lacoste is reported to have taken a more active role in managing its Facebook page in September 2010, when its "likes" numbered 1.6 million.

A look at where some other brands stand, here in the gallery.

It's National Jourlie Day! Happy Birthday to Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn

"I was born Aug.
Karlie Kloss and Jourdan Dunn

"I was born Aug. 3, 1992, and Jourdan was born Aug. 3, 1990. We're birthday twins," Karlie Kloss told i-D last year. And though this year the two won't be spending their special day together — Kloss is headed to Denmark with her family, while Dunn is en route to London — they're still on each other's minds. "I wouldn't wanna share this day with anybody else except my main bitch Ms Kloss!!! love you!" Dunn tweeted earlier today. "Right back at you. How'd I get so lucky as to have a BFF/Bday twin/SoulMate like you?" was Kloss's prompt response.

In honor of the occasion — or as Karlie Kloss calls it, "National Jourlie Day" — here are our favorite snaps of the model pals.

Cara Delevingne

At i-D, the Kids Stay in the Picture

For its Pre-Fall 2012 covers, i-D Magazine asked Terry Richardson to photograph a group including Cara Delevingne, Kelly Mittendorf, and Charlotte Free.
i-D Pre-Fall 2012 Covers

For its Pre-Fall 2012 covers, i-D Magazine asked Terry Richardson to photograph a group including Cara Delevingne, Kelly Mittendorf, and Charlotte Free. The issue is billed as a "celebration of what it means to be young today," and editors at i-D selected these three to represent the young people who will shape the future of the world. But the magazine notes that youth isn't an age — it's a state of mind. "Feeling youthful is finding joy and pleasure in everything you do, whatever your age," its editors write. Let's see who'll join the youthful models on the magazine's additional covers. For now, a glimpse at these bright young things in the gallery.
