Bambi Northwood-Blyth, aged 21, is a model from Sydney, Australia.
She was born Stefani Northwood, but later changed her name as she thought that Bambi represented her personality better, and she had always been commented on for her cute, doll face.
Her popularity has been rapidly increasing in the past couple of years, due to her individuality and unique look. She has those trademark eyebrows, which helped garner attention for the likes of Emma Watson and Cara Delevingne.
Bambi is a hit with high fashion magazine Harpers Bazaar, and has also shot for the likes of Russh, Vogue Japan, Armani Jeans , Marc Jacobs AND Nasty Gal. Yep. The beauty isn't limited to just editorial though, as she has also hit the catwalk for:Chanel,Balenciaga, Kanye West and Topshop Unique!
I love Bambi because she has that messy, rough around the edges kind of look, like the type of girl you'd always find downtown or at the beach. She is part of a generation of new, slightly grungy models that are set to take over and change the face of the industry.
If you're self esteem just took a pretty low dip after looking at these pictures, don't worry! Because ours did too. Big time.
And who better to set the stakes high than King of Couture, Karl Lagerfield!?
Set in an enchanted forest created under the wooden dome of Grand Palais, the beautiful fairy-like models of Chanel Haute Couture amazed the fashion crowd with their gothic take on Midsummer Night's Dream.
Models such as Stella Tennant, Cara Delevingne and Lindsey Wixson walked in the sugary sweet wonderland, clothed in flowy floral concoctions and feather-coated bell skirts.
A darker, more sinister take on the classic spring trend, Chanel used dreamy flower prints, chantilly lace and their trademark tweed in a palette of basic pales, creams and blacks.
The drastic eye make-up (resembling mine after watching The Notebook) put a lovely contrast against the la-di-da type designs and, on some of the models, feathers and neat netting were stuck on instead of lashes, which gave a pretty effect on the runway.
I think this was a creative and unique show, and Karl Lagerfield did a great job! Not to mention, one of the more extravagant dresses took a scary 2000 hours to make! No pain, no gain.
Here it is! Another fabulous awards ceremony with even more fabulous dresses! The 70th Annual Golden Globes! I actually have a free night tonight because I can't get to ballet because of the snow ( I think I prefer the snow..?) but anyway, here's a round up of the best of the best! Enjoy!

"They may call me a sinner, but I'm at peace with myself" -Brigitte Bardot
She was the Parisian queen of the 50's and 60's, a singer, actress, model and all round beauty icon.
She oozed that kind of effortless chic, reminiscent of modern stars like Suki Waterhouse and Cara Delevingne. I love her for her individuality, beliefs and how nothing anyone said about her would put her off track.
1). Go Big or Go Home
Brigitte's hair was simply gorgeous. A blonde mass of perfectly messy curls and tangles, which helped create her iconic image. It's that type of 'just rolled out of bed after a late night' kind of hair that every girl craves. The best way to achieve a look similar to Brigitte's is to use a shampoo and conditioner that are catered to increasing volume, like Herbal Essences Body Envy, especially if you have thinner hair. If you have a mass of curly hair like me, it might be easier to half straighten it! Use a paddle brush to backcomb hair on the crown of your head, and pin at the back with a cute little bow clip, or secure with a large fabric hairband.
2). Bambi Eyes
Brigitte's classic smokey eye is practically timeless, and can always be seen through night AND day. To avoid that 'hard night on the tiles' kind of look, make sure you use a good primer beforehand, like Benefit That Gal. Apply all over the eyelids. You will need two black shadows, one a little lighter than the other, so I would reccommend staying within the same brand but just going a tad further up their colour scale. Take the lighter one and blend it all over the eyelid, taking it out slightly further at the side. Do the same with the darker shadow. It may look slightly scary at first, especially when you've only completed the first eye, but do not fear! Use a kohl eyeliner ( I use Rimmel!) and apply it on your upper water line and lash line. Extreme. Keep lipstick to a minimum, with pale pinks and nudes, but make use of enlarging your brows, as she liked a bit of a statement!
3). Keep Up
Brigitte was first scouted participating in her mother's friend's fashion show, and was soon signed to an agency. Her first Elle magazine cover debuted when she was just 15 ( WHAT.) and appeared in several campaigns and movies afterwards. She had previously aspired to be a professional ballerina, which gave her extremely good posture and elegance. Many of us always complain about how we 'have as much elegance as an elephant' but if you think about keeping your back straight and your chin up high, it will make you feel ten times better. It can also make you look taller, lighter and more attractive. I seen you all shoot up there.
4). Go Gingham
Bardot was also lusted after for her individual and intriguing fashion style. A fan of nipped-in waists, big hats, faux leather and fur and black, her iconic look was copied by many throughout the 50's and 60's, and can still be seen in many things we wear today. She was granted the Bardot neckline, which is seen on many tops and dresses. It is when the neckline is cut straight across from shoulder to shoulder, often a bit more exposed than your usual t-shirt, but certainly still popular today! She also brought the likes of gingham and high-waisted shorts into the light. You go girl!
5). Animal Friendly
Brigitte swiftly exited the Hollywood limelight in the late 70's, wanting to live a calmer life. Since then, she has became a world-famous ( in her own right ) animal rights activist and vegetarian vegan. Wow! She has wrote to many powerful men and women, including the French Prime Minister, Queen of Denmark and the Chinese President, enraged at how they treat their animals. Try to eat healthier and avoid so many animal based products ( try Quorn!) and try not to step on so many spiders in the street or heave your cat off the bed when it wakes you up on a Sunday. Simple!
Hope you've been inspired to try out some Brigitte looks and have fun!
Miranda Kerr, aged 29, is a model, entrepeneur and 'Angel' from Sydney, Australia.
She first gained fame at just 13, when she entered the model search competition for Australian teen magazine, Dolly.
When she was younger, she grew up in the Australian countryside in New South Wales, riding motorbikes on her Grandmother's farm and wearing what she pleased. She states this as being "very grounding", and winning the Dollycompetition truly changed her life.
From there, she starred in campaigns for big Aussie brands like Billabong and One Teaspoon, before she made her runway debut in 2004. Other big brands she was shot for were Levis, L.A.M.B and Betsey Johnson! Wowza!
In 2006, she was set to conquer the States, signing contracts with Maybelline,appearing in her first Victoria's Secret catalogue and appearing in Kanye West's Number One music video. Then she went BIG.
She replaced the fabulous Gisele Bundchen in 2007 at Victoria's Secret, and has walked their elaborate and extravagant catwalks ever since! She is one of the most famous Angels of the lingerie giant. In 2009, she also launched her beauty care range Kora Organics! Busy girl.
To top it all off, she married to THE Orlando Bloom in 2010, and gave birth to their son, Flynn, shortly afterwards. She has also replaced KATE MOSS as the face of Mango! :O
Not to mention, Miranda also has a killer fashion sense, and can always be seen either out in NYC or Sydney in outfits you can only DREAM of owning.
I think she is so successful because of her timeless beauty and cute dimples. She has a 'type of face' that is rarely seen in the modelling world, as it is so young and fresh, unlike some gaunt models with hollow cheekbones you see a lot nowadays.
Can a girl have it all? I guess she can!
We love Miranda!

And she has a CRAZY COOL accent! Check her out on Ellen:
