Rosie Huntington-Whiteley launching a lingerie line at Marks & Spencer!

By Jocelyn - Tuesday, May 1st, 2012 at 11:11am

Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is about to launch a line of lingerie at Marks & Spencer, one of Britain’s biggest high-end retailers.

The Telegraph reports that the Rosie for Autograph collection will include 33 pieces, such as kimono-inspired robes, camisoles and underwear and bras. The line will debut in September.

The Victoria’s Secret Angel will most certainly model off her own pieces soon.

Rosie for Autograph is a savvy move for the model, one that will undoubtedly extend her name beyond the runway and catalog pages. As a recent first-timer on the The Sunday Times Rich List, Huntington-Whiteley is poised to grow her brand like Gisele Bundchen or Elle Macpherson, both of whom have their own successful lingerie lines.

Of course this is Rosie’s first venture, done in collaboration with an already-successful brand. But between movies and retail, we’re curious to see where this young British model goes.

Wonder if the line will be available in the US?!

Rosie Huntington-Whitely: “I was a bit of an Ugly Betty when I was 15″

By Jocelyn - Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011 at 10:10am

Rosie Huntington-Whitely insists that while she’s one of the hottest women on the planet right now – she wasn’t always beautiful. Apparently she’s just like everyone else, and had a bit of an ugly phase when she was 15.

Rosie claims she wasn’t always this beautiful: “I was a bit of an Ugly Betty when I was 15,” she says. There she was, a teenager on a farm in Devon, England, dreaming of the glamorous life in London, when she took an internship at a modeling agency, “getting coffee, lighting people’s cigarettes.” It wasn’t until she visited the agency months later and met a new agent that she booked her first job. Not So Ugly Rosie would turn up at castings “in trainers, with braids, a ton of makeup, plucked eyebrows.” Sigh. “I had braces.” The braces, and her baby fat, didn’t stick around. Huntington-Whiteley’s “transition” period happened at 18, when she moved to New York and quickly scored a Victoria’s Secret deal.

The Victoria’s Secret wings: About those mythical wings, she says, “I’d love to wear them for a fancy-dress party sometime. People assume I have wings hanging all over my house, but that,” she says reassuringly, “is not the case.” While the wings don’t exactly scream Steinem, “It’s still such a huge thing for a model.” She adds, “People kind of laugh about it and think it’s irrelevant, but I don’t know a girl in the world who would put those wings on and not feel, just for a split second, very special.”

She’s the new face of Burberry: “To be 21, working with Mario Testino and Christopher Bailey, it was a milestone moment,” she says. This past fall, her bodacious Burberry Body billboard was splashed all over venues as diverse as Herald Square in New York and the Musée d’Orsay in Paris (giving new meaning to impressionism). How many trenches does a Burberry campaign earn a girl, anyway? “I counted the other day; I have 12.” Based in L.A., where she lives with her boyfriend, action star Jason Statham, Huntington-Whiteley is navigating her next transition carefully. “It’s interesting coming from modeling, where women rule the industry, into one where there are so few great female parts and the competition is so much higher.”

Ironic runway walks: Now, though, Huntington-Whiteley has ascended to a level of celebrity where she can model ironically. At parties, she’s been known to rock a runway walk or two. “There’s always a moment when some great song comes on and everyone’s like, ‘Do the runway walk, Rosie!’ And you’re like, ‘No, no, no,’ and then you begrudgingly get up and do your thing.” But maybe she secretly loves it. “Yeah, it might be my little party trick. It always gets applause.”

So who feels sorry for Rosie? She went through an ugly phase at 15 (who didn’t).

Rosie Huntington-Whitely is the new face of Burberry Body!

By Jocelyn - Wednesday, July 13th, 2011 at 12:12pm

‘Transformers 3′ actress and model Rosie Huntington-Whitely has just been named the face of Burberry Body. Rosie strips down to nothing but a Burberry trench coat to model….perfume. Makes complete sense!

Maxim already told us she had a hot body, and now, Transformers 3 star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is flaunting her famous assets as the new — and first — face of Burberry Body fragrance. ”It’s a huge honor to be working with Burberry again, a brand that put my career on the map and helped launch me,” Huntington-Whiteley — who modeled for the company’s autumn/winter 2010 collection and wore lots of Burberry to promote Transformers — said of her new gig. “To be asked to be the first ‘Burberry Body’ is an amazing compliment.” Details of the scent have yet to be released, but what we do know is that the campaign images, shot by famed photographer Mario Testino, show off a seductive side of Huntington-Whiteley, who (almost) wears a rose-gold satin trench coat in the ads. Burberry Body will launch in stores worldwide this September.

Rosie Huntingon-Whitely: “I have mood lips”

By Jocelyn - Friday, June 10th, 2011 at 1:13pm

British model and actress Rosie Huntington-Whiteley is the Mega Babe on the cover page of men’s magazine Maxim US for the month of July 2011. Transformers hottie gives global warming new meaning with her super hot photo spread. She classes up the lad rag just like she did that over-sized gadget movie.

Here are some highlights from the interview:

What’s ‘New Moon’ about?

Sam, Shia Labeouf’s character, has to save the world, and he’s got a new girlfriend, which is my character, Carly. Things unfold a bit darker than they seem at first…

Is Megan Fox’s disappearance explained?

Yes. It’s explained, but that’s all I’m saying.

With the trend of models starring in big roles now, do you think it’s fair to take the money out of hard-working actors pockets?

Do you think it’s fair that actors have been taking money out of hard-working models’ pockets? Actresses have completely taken over the fashion industry in the last five years, in terms of big deals. Maybe it’s time the models get some payback.

You recently moved here, do you miss home?

Every day. It’s my soul, England. I miss the people, the culture, the food…

Wait, you miss the food in England – really?

Oh my God, so much! I find it strange that people say English food is so bad. To me it’s delicious! I’ve never really considered it, but I was thinking the other day maybe it’s strange to have beans on toast for breakfast.

That’s what you grew up eating?

I grew up on a working farm. We had chickens, sheep, horses – that’s how we ate.

You’re famous for your lips. Is that something you’ve worked on?

The rest of my body requires a lot of upkeep, but the lips are one thing I don’t have to work on. They’re funny because they change color with my mood. They get really, really red when I’m angry or passionate, and pale when I’m miserable or tired. But I suppose everyone else’s do too.

Uh, no…

They have a life of their own. They get me in trouble. You know mood rings? I’ve got mood lips.

Have your lips gotten you recognized more often in America?

I was at a DMV. My driving instructor was like “You’re the Victoria’s Secret model!” I failed my last test miserably, but this guy passed me with flying colors!
