Beyonce, new song star in H&M; summer 2013 ad campaign
Beyonce -- and a single from her upcoming album -- are featured in H&M;’s latest advertising campaign, the Swedish fast-fashion retailer announced Thursday.
The song, “Standing on the Sun,” accompanies a recently posted 90-second Jonas Akerlund-directed video that depicts a bikini-clad Beyonce and gal pals throwing sand and splashing in the surf in pieces from H&M;’s summer 2013 collection. Oh, and, just in case you were wondering, it’s not a Cuban beach she’s frolicking on -- the company’s announcement noted the film was shot “in the beautiful surroundings of [the] Bahamas.” [H&M; YouTube]
In case you missed our mention of it Wednesday, Madonna’s “Like a Virgin” wedding dress and Jean Paul Gaultier cone-bra corset will be among the star’s iconic costumes featured in a one-night-only pop-up fashion exhibit at Macy’s Westfield Century City from 6 to 8 p.m. Thursday. [L.A. Times]
L.A.’s BritWeek 2013 kicked off with a Wednesday night “Salute to Old Hollywood” tribute bash, reports Society News L.A., Among the celebrity guests in attendance were -- and we quote -- “Mischa Barton, Bruno Tonioli, Terri Seymour, Louise Roe [and] two James Bonds.” (Which makes us wonder: If you have two 007s in the house, does that mean you’ve got one Agent 014?)

The collection L.A. designer Clare Vivier created for Gwyneth Paltrow’s Goop website went up on the site Thursday, and includes exclusive monogrammable clutches and catch-alls. [goop.com]
