Never before seen photographs of Marilyn Monroe

shot by photographer Len Steckler were revealed today. The images capture the icon lounging around Steckler's New York apartment just nine months before her death. Monroe was wearing demure cat-eye sunglasses when she stopped to see the photographer's friend, Pulitzer-prize winning poet Carl Sandburg, in 1961. "It was serendipitous with these two icons in their moment and me there with my camera," Steckler told Reuters. After 45 years in his private archive, Steckler decided to reveal the black-and-white photos after his son discovered the negatives. “Marilyn Monroe: The Visit” is being sold as a limited-edition series ranging from $1,999 to$3,999 at thevisitseries.com.

Before the New Orleans Saints and the Indianapolis Colts hit the field at this Sunday's Super Bowl game, Carrie Underwood takes the stage to sing the National Anthem. How does the country star feel about kicking off the biggest football game of the year? "I am going to be extremely nervous," Underwood told CMT Insider (via People.com). "If I look like I am about to get sick on the field, I may at any moment during that song." Queen Latifah also performs in the pre-game festivities while The Who's Pete Townsend and Roger Daltrey will entertain fans during the halftime show.

Watch Underwood's performance at last night's Super Bowl.

According to a report in the Wall Street Journal, Sandra Bullock has the most inspiring red carpet style. The gold Vivienne Westwood dress that the actress wore to this year's People's Choice Awards garnered the most click-throughs among all red carpet appearances on StyleSpot.com, a Web site that links red carpet photos to e-commerce sites. Bullock's multiple award show nominations and appearances may have helped, but we think women relate most to her down-to-earth image. Kate Hudson and Drew Barrymore were among the other top stars that heavily influenced shoppers this year.

What's more fabulous than an Alexis Bittar lucite bangle? Alexis Bittar's Spring 2010 ads starring the legendary Joan Collins! Along with sharing a name (Collins's Dynasty character was Alexis Carrington), the designer and TV legend were mutual admirers. “Alexis Bittar is by far my favorite costume jewelry designer... His whimsical designs suit my personality effortlessly. I always feel glamorous and sexy whenever I adorn myself in his creations,” Collins said. After hearing these praises, a friend suggested Bittar reach out to the star. "Alexis for Alexis Bittar! And that's how it happened. When I think opulence I think Joan Collins and Dynasty," Bittar wrote on his blog. The posters featuring Collins in Bittar's '80s-inspired spring collection will debut on billboards during New York Fashion Week.

Nathalie Rykiel

, the President of Sonia Rykiel (and the founder's daughter), loves two things: frozen yogurt ("I eat it twice a day in New York!") and knits (“An absolute must for all women”). We sat down with her to discuss her newest collaboration with HampM, a knitwear line she describes as "flagship Rykiel, but still modern and lovely.” Featuring bold color, sparkle and her hallmark stripes, the collection of separates is heavy on the fun and the miniature version for children (a first for HampM) is unbelievably cute. Rykiel’s favorite pieces include a multi-striped oversize sweater dress (middle), a one-shoulder LBD and a logo sweater that "simply must be worn with jeans."

Leave it to the First Lady to come up with an ingenious new layering tip! At the National Prayer Breakfast this morning, Michelle Obamawore an eggplant Narciso Rodriquez sheath (the very dress that sparked a national interest in her toned arms at last year's Congressional address), but with a cardigan layered under it!

for fair trade fashion label People Tree are now online! After admiring a friend’s People Tree T-shirt, Watson was impressed to learn about the British label’s ethical stance and immediately met with the designers about collaborating on a collection for teens. “Rather than give cash to charities you can help people in poorer countries by buying clothes they make,” Watson told the DailyMail. Stock up on “cotton vests, easy T-shirt dresses, nice scarves to accessorize with and some lovely linen pieces," perfect for a summer picnic! “The clothes are very British, which is why we shot them in an English country garden-it’s all very strawberries and cream and tennis.”

We know what you're thinking- Jennifer Aniston's skin always looks good. Trust us, we agree. But we like her most recent obsession so much ourselves that we couldn't help passing it along: Dr. Hauschka Radiant You kits, which launched last month. (Madonna is also a huge fan of the Dr. Hauschka line.) The set-which includes cleanser, toner, body oil, and a mask-are $6.99 a piece, but if you upload a video of you and your friends using the products, they're entirely free. And let's face it: Skin as clear as Ms. Aniston's is basically priceless.

The online arrangements are composed entirely of ethically sourced flowers and all profits go to the Global Fund. "Flower(Red) is a truly inspiring new service from (Red)," said Deeley. "I can now purchase stunning flowers for someone I care about, or as a treat for myself, in the knowledge that the profits reach those who need it the most.”

We haven't stopped thinking about Anne Hathaway's role in Alice in Wonderland (out March 5th) since pictures surfaced this summer, but just today the star revealed what it was like playing the illustrious White Queen. "I kept saying to myself, ‘She is a punk-rock, vegan pacifist.’ So I listened to a lot of Blondie and I watched a lot of Greta Garbo," she told JustJared.com. As for the dress she wore, well, it's fair to say Hathaway was smitten: "I’m wearing a dress designed by Colleen Atwood. It’s grand and the most fragile dress I’ve ever worn in my life. I love it so much," she said. "If you ever had a dream of being a fairy princess, this is the dress you would wear."

Gucci went back in time for its new watch campaign, pulling chic black-and-white photos of ‘60s model Veruschka and the late actor Peter Sellers from the archives and superimposing images of its new timepieces on top.

How does a fashion icon like Kate Moss translate her enviable style into a collection of handbags for Longchamp? She designs for herself! "I like bags that are comfortable and light. I pack my bags to the brim, so if it's a heavy bag to start with I can never carry it,” said Moss. But her first order of business was finding a brilliant shade of red: “I love a dash of color.” And that red looks perfect with her favorite animal print. “It’s goooorgeous,” she said of the limited-edition zebra-style calfskin that’s featured throughout the collection. The Gloucester duffle bags (left) are inspired by vintage trunks and the Glastonbury (bottom, right) messenger style features the perfect amount of Moss-approved rock and roll details: braiding, zippers and eyelets.
