Stunning Bride-To-Be Amal Graces Venice Backdrop In Dolce + Gabbana

For all the haters out there because George Clooney's fiance didn't quite measure up to YOUR standards of beauty.....Look at Amal now!

This is how you do Italy.....in a glamorous Dolce & Gabbana dress, expensive sunglasses and er....bosom tucked in neatly.

In other words....Boobs don't have to be on display 24/7.

By the way, the dress--has already SOLD OUT.

We think Amal + George look chic + sophisticated BEFORE Saturday's nuptials. Isn't the city of Venice so romantic + unique?

And yeah....Amal Alamuddin happens to have long, perfect, healthy hair. NO extensions that we can find.

Amal's taste in sunglasses.....This movie star style by Prada, of course.

We think Amal has stepped up her beauty + fashion game. Yesterday, we posted about the exotic beauty plucking her brows a bit for a cleaner line that opens up her dark eyes beautifully.

Look at the water taxis speeding along the Venice body of water. Quite enchanting!

Congratulations, Amal + George!
Italy is THE place for big time weddings.

Has Amal Plucked Brows Before Big Day With Clooney? Tips On Brow Grooming

It's LOVE Italian style, as bride-to-be Amal Alamuddin touches down in Milan to prep for her BIG day marrying the ever-dashing George Clooney.

Amal + George are said to be joining hands for this momentous occasion in a lavish ceremony on Saturday, which is alleged to be at the Aman Canal Grande Venice hotel.

That means LOTS of beauty + fashion stuff BEFORE the impending nuptials.

The 36-year-old  Lebanese-British human rights lawyer is glamorous + striking to begin with, but it appears to us that Amal has plucked or groomed her naturally full, dark brows a bit. And we LOVE the change.

Take a look. Here is Amal as she was dating the handsome actor last spring
:

Now, check out Amal's more groomed, lighter brows today:

Wow....Looks cleaner with a higher arch. Well done, Amal.

Thinner brows + HUGE engagement ring. Perfect.

So, for all you brides-to-be, HOLD the tweezers + wax + scissors for just a moment.

Here are some smart tips we found at BridalGuide.com about getting pretty BEFORE your walk down the aisle

With DIY plucking, it's all too easy to get tweeze happy, says Christine Chin, celebrity eyebrow expert.
But if you insist at-home grooming, her advice is to keep it quick + simple.

"Remove unwanted hairs between brows, then clean up strays just below them. (Tweezing on top will mess with the natural shape.) No single shape works on everybody, Chin says, but in general, your brow should follow the line of the bone just above your eye.".

For Perfect Autumn Pout: Try L'Oreal Crayon Gloss In Vintage Rose

Autumn 2014 is looking over our shoulders. Tuesday will be the first, full day of Fall.

Soon, we will be easing into our blazers, cardis, leather jackets and more.....

Still, there are some warm days ahead for many of us.

And now we've found the perfect autumn pout! It's NOT a heavy, matte lipstick.

We're talking about L'Oreal Paris Colour Riche Glossy Balm Crayon in Vintage Rose ($7.99, at Walgreens).

This sheer shade is so-oooo pretty in pink!

It's lovely for an everyday, little pop of color. Plus, the twistable crayon point tip makes it super easy to apply.

And while you're workin' your lips + smile, why not take your favorite floral frock and continue the feminine, flirty trend right into autumn.

Put on a little cardi or leather jacket over your floral dress and stride into style.

Short hair/long hair.....Taylor Swift has been in LOVE with floral dresses  for-like-ever! Gotta love the cardi + dress look for Fall.

We adore this floral body-con dress from BooHoo.com ($43.99).

Amber Rose Gearing Up For New Show: Meantime--She Can Look Elegant

Amber Rose could be coming to a library +reality TV show near you. The sexy, head-shaven celebrity has recently signed with new manager Nick Cannon's company NCredible Entertainment.

A book deal + television project are allegedly in the works.

We find Amber Rose intriguing and could give reality TV queen Kim Kardashian a run for her money.

Amber Rose CAN look elegant + refined. Just take a look at her posing on the red carpet of the BET Awards in June.

And when your face is that PRETTY, who needs a lot of hair?

We are lovin' her makeup here. And this is usually Amber's look:

Amber appears to prefer a light, penciled in brow, spikey faux lashes and high-end foundation.' This is what she told Elle magazine once:

"My one regular splurge is YSL [Teint Resist] foundation. I love it, because it goes on so smooth and light, but still covers up everything I need it to cover up. I also love M.A.C Lip Glass in `Pink Lemonade.'". 

Linda Evangelitsa Re-Ignites Modeling Career At 49: Face Of D&G New Makeup

"At the beginning of my modeling career, my eyebrows were one of my most distinctive features. Makeup artist Francois Nars taught me how to shape my brows and showed me how to draw them in where they absolutely should be. We would look at a picture of Sophia Loren's Brows and use that as a template."
---Linda Evangelista

Sophia Loren

Who could ever forget one of the sassiest supermodels around---Linda Evangelista.

She was a wonderful chameleon---able to transform from girl-next-door to androgynous beauty to sexy woman, and on  and on.....

Yes, this vintage model is STILL working and keeping it together. She spoke recently with the UK's Daily Mail.
