So many awesome campaigns are being revealed on the daily we can barely catch our breath! The model of century has done it again with yet another stunning ad campaign. Nevertheless, this time it’s double trouble because she is sharing the limelight with a very handsome co-star. Let us tell more about Naomi Campbell and Justin Levy Star in Givenchy Jean Campaign.

She could wear a sack and we’d still buy it! Luckily, Naomi Campbell is working it in a chic collection of denim. Campbell is apart of the Givenchy family slash gang and was chosen for the Spring/Summer 2017 ad campaign. Campbell commented on her latest project stating, “Meet the new Givenchy jeans SS17 (Spring/Summer 2017) pinups. I love you Riccardo Tisci, thank you for always pushing me out of my comfort zone for another great project.”

Miss Campbell out of her comfort zone? Seems so far fetched since she always dazzles us with her body of work. However, when you ponder her statement it does start to make a lot of sense. As they say in order to be great you have to step outside your own box. Therefore, Naomi proves that unless you change you will remain the same.

Nonetheless, in the ad campaign Naomi shares camera time with male model, Justin Levy. The pair’s chemistry is electric with both serving face as well as amazing physiques. The renown and extremely talented Carine Roitfeld styled the campaign with the fabulous photog duo, Luigi and Lango creating art behind the lense. Kudos to all involved everything came out exquisitely!

Gabrielle Union was all dolled up for a screening of the new Being Mary Jane season. Being Mary Jane will return to air tonight (January 10, 2017) at 10/9c. The new season comes with the tagline, “New season. New attitude.” Therefore, Jane fans look forward to enjoying the show right after President Obama’s final speech because the network promises it will be one wild ride.

The dress by Naeem Khan is a festive and form flattering dress that nicely showcased Union’s curves. Union gave the world a taste of what us ladies face when wearing such a garment. She posted a photo in said dress along with the caption, “Suck it in… d*mmit suck it IN… where’s my heavily padded bra… and… there she is!” Ah yes, it really can be a process as well as take a whole village at times. Nevertheless, the end result like Union’s is always worth it.

Hair Notes: In order to not compete with her gown, Union opted to keep her tresses simple. Smooth and sleek was the name of her hair game. Add dimension like Gabby by having your hairdresser give your strands the Balayage (hair coloring) treatment.
