If a few spritzes of the new Intimately Beckham Yours fragrances can inspire steamy moments in real life like the one captured between the British power duo in their commercial for the his-and-hers scents, we'll have what they're having.

In the clip, Victoria Beckham, clad in a sleek black pants suit, joins husband David Beckham, looking dashing in a tux, in an elevator, and that's when things get interesting. As the door closes the couple gets passionate and a lot of kissing, grabbing and clothes shedding ensues.

Eau de sexy!

When the Beckhams reach their desired floor, the door reopens and viewers are treated to one disheveled-looking pair, although the Mrs. seems to have fared better than her partner in crime as her bold red lipstick and slicked back hair are still intact. She'll have to thank her glam squad for that one.

The steamy ad seems perfectly fitting for fragrances that are "designed to capture the essence of David and Victoria Beckham's passion and the power of their relationship."

Intimately Beckham Yours For Him is spiked with blood mandarin, frozen lemon, crushed leaves, sage, lavender, frozen basil, tonka bean, sandalwood and vetiver to create an "elegant and sexy Oriental Citrus Aromatic."

While Intimately Beckham Yours For Her lends itself to be "radiant, warm and captivating" with notes of freesia, bergamot, pear leaves, orange blossom, frangipani, lily, orris, sandalwood and vetiver.

DESIGNER: Vena Cava by Lisa Mayock and Sophie Buhai

INSPIRATION: 1980s Memphis design movement mixed with a Southern California ease

TOP LOOKS: Tannish-gray, soft-tailored pantsuit with a black, off-the-shoulder jersey T-shirt; gunmetal silk-crepe printed camisole with a long-sleeve shawl and black cotton pressed pants; black cotton gauze slip dress with color-blocked silk appliqués

ACCESSORIES: Rope necklaces and belts; black and orange fabric headbands; platform laced sandals

WHO WAS THERE: Editors and retailers aplenty

WHAT WE THOUGHT: Taking notes from Memphis in the 1980s, when bold geometric shapes and bright colors were mixed with a touch of humor, Mayock and Buhai sent down a collection of beautifully tailored but easy-to-throw-on blazers with perfectly fitted high-waisted pants in colors like black, tan, and gray (which is already shaping up to be a big spring color).

There were lovely silk slip dresses highlighted with a pop of color, mostly orange or blue. While prints weren't in abundance, the few that were there were quite wearable, even for those who usually opt out of prints altogether.

Backstage at the Park Choon Moo Spring 2011 fashion show at New York Fashion Week, models donned ghostly minimal makeup with rebellious strands and crisp and cool nails.

MAKEUP: Kabuki for Make Up For Ever
HAIR: Laurent Philippon for Bumble and Bumble
NAILS: Michian
SNAPSHOT: Moody Minimalist

THE SCOOP: The beauty teams for Park Choon Moo's Spring 2011 collection were inspired by the Korean designer's minimalist pieces that embodied a sense of freedom.

Kabuki created an avant garde makeup look with a touch of lightness by muting the models' faces and layering on lashes dipped in white body paint. "I got most of my inspiration from the deconstructed, unexpected quality of her clothes," said the makeup artist. Influenced by the simplicity of the '90s, Laurent Philippon perfected a slightly disheveled hairstyle that enhanced their natural, wavy texture. To add a fresh, spring touch, manicurist Michian rounded out the look with futuristic clear digits.

GET THE LOOK - MAKEUP: All makeup by Make Up For Ever. Start with a clear and even complexion by using Make Up For Ever HD Invisible Cover Foundation. Line lids with a nude concealer pencil to create definition and lightly brush concealer onto brows with a mascara wand to tone down. Apply false eyelashes, using longer lashes on the outer corners and shorter lashes inside for a winged effect. Curl lashes and coat with a white pigment like Make Up For Ever Aqua Cream in Snow. Finish the look by smoothing on a pale, caramel lip color.

GET THE LOOK - HAIR: All hair products by Bumble and Bumble. Create a side part and saturate strands in Bumble and Bumble Styling Creme. Apply Bumble and Bumble Prep and Surf Spray onto the ends to hydrate and build texture. Slick one side behind the air and slightly tousled the other side. If you're hair is not naturally wavy, fashion a loose braid, set and release.

GET THE LOOK - NAILS: Remove nail polish and file down to short, square tips. Buff nail bed for smoothness. Apply temporary gel or glue onto nails and place clear acrylic nails on top. And finish by filing nail overlays into an oval point.

DESIGNERS: The 10 remaining contestants on Lifetime's "Project Runway." Collections from seven yet-to-be-eliminated designers were interspersed with those of the three mystery finalists to keep the audience from spoiling their identities. The true final collections will be the only ones shown on the reality show's season finale, which airs later this fall.

INSPIRATIONS: Hawaiian beaches (Ivy Higa), dreams involving statues (Andy South), and tea-party dolls washed away at sea (April Johnston) were among the themes. Two-time challenge winner and controversial contestant Gretchen Jones referenced "running through thunder."

Meanwhile, whimsical Valerie Mayen riffed on what would happen if Rainbow Brite had a love child with David Bowie. Michael Drummond referenced X-ray machines, Mark Rothko, and lingerie. Christopher Collins called on his "roots and grace." Casanova and Mondo Guerra both paid tribute to their grandmothers, while Michael Costello dedicated his collection to a female friend. Ah!

TOP LOOKS: Higa's gauzy yellow sundress with surprise rhinestone embellishment in back; Collins's minimalist, navy hooded silk dress; Mayen's especially well-constructed candy-colored frocks; Guerra's plaid bubble dress with a pink belt detail; South's one-shoulder green mini with cascading ruffles

ACCESSORIES: Johnston's models wore massive, nude hair bands. Higa and Jones both showed models wearing sun hats. Jones's models wore geometric statement necklaces of silver, gold, and rose gold. South put shiny, metallic star-studded headpieces to reference his dream-statute muse. Mayen's models wore mod two-tone sunglasses and glossy, bob wigs. Casanova's models had gold appliqués on their faces and sported enormous bangles. Guerra topped his models' Flintstones buns with giant, silly bows.

WHO WAS THERE: Guest judge Jessica Simpson as well as "PR" regulars Heidi Klum, Nina Garcia, and Michael Kors. Designer Betsey Johnson, actress Jamie-Lynn Sigler, and "American Idol" winner Jordin Sparks, who told StyleList, "This is my first fashion show ever and I'm so excited."

Also there: Hollywood mogul and "PR" producer Harvey Weinstein, Marie Claire Editor-in-Chief Joanna Coles, "America's Next Top Model" judge Jay Manuel, and season 7 "PR" winner Seth Aaron Henderson.

Other "PR" alumni in attendance included season 2 winner Chloe Dao, season 5 winner Leanne Marshall, season 6 fourth-place finisher Christopher Straub (now a blonde), and top season 7 contestants Jay Nicolas Sario and Maya Luz.

WHAT WE THOUGHT: While there was a welcome absence of black in the contestants' fabric choices, many played it safe. Costello's evening wear was red carpet worthy, but his collection (which lacked a true day look) was incomplete. Perceived front-runner Jones did ten refined but dull pieces. Casanova's collection was typically vulgar.

Higa produced a beautiful resort-themed story that may have been too relaxed for the dramatic finale. Quiet Collins surprised StyleList by being especially strong with his minimalist sportswear. Our picks for potential winners? South, for pieces that were consistently beautiful, or Mayen, who sent a fruity, knockout punch down the runway.

How do you celebrate a quarter-century of fabulousness? With a little help from Hollywood hotshots like Amanda Seyfried, Megan Fox, Lauren Conrad, and Gabourey Sidibe.

Each beauty graces her own cover of Elle magazine's October/25th anniversary issue, which spotlights 25 superwomen in the 25-something age range, all photographed by Carter Smith.

"Dear John" star Seyfried, looking flirty on her cover in a Louis Vuitton wool halter dress with a watercolor bodice and plaid skirt, turns 25 in December, and although she's in a good place in life, she's already fretting about the future.

"The best thing is, I'm happy," observes Seyfried, who poses Twiggy-style for her feature in mod makeup, a Lisa Perry clear vinyl rain jacket, and a Chanel red-checkered cashmere sweater with matching bikini bottoms.





"The worst is that I'm scared; the scariest thing is that I know it can't be easy -- the years to come."

Fox, meanwhile, already finds life to be a challenge.

"When I talk about my husband [Brian Austin Green], I feel as if people roll their eyes," says the 24-year-old "Jonah Hex" star, who appears demure in minimal makeup and a nude-colored dress on the cover before revving things up inside with dotted Emporio Armani Underwear and an unbuttoned oversized Armani Jeans striped shirt.

"It's like when you're 16 and order a martini, and the waiter says, 'Do you think I'm stupid?' They can't grasp that I'm old enough to be married."

Conrad, whose cover attire is a colorful jumper, makes it clear, however, that at 24, she's in no rush to settle down. "I was never that girl who just wanted babies," says the reality star/designer/novelist, who, inside the magazine, looks very Lohan in a gray Gucci blazer with matching pants and Ray-Ban aviators. "I wanted a career before all of that."

And for 27-year-old Sidibe, being in your 20s is all about having fun -- even if it means lying about your age.

"Part of me thought it would be weird if people knew I was a grown-up playing a teenager in 'Precious.' So I had a twenty-first-birthday party," the "Big C" star, who wears a green Tadashi Shoji jersey cocktail dress with Fenton jewelry for both of her shots, says of marking her big two-five. "We had drinks and went to a strip club called Shotgun Willie's."

For more of Elle's favorite 25-somethings -- including Mila Kunis, Lauren Bush, and Camilla Belle -- pick up the new issue and visit the website.
