Photographer Mario Testino has Gisele Bündchen in his hands. The supermodel has said that he has a way with her and “It’s hard to say no to him.” Even upon refusal of certain poses, Gisele said, “and the next thing I know, we’re doing some picture with my butt sticking out.” [The Cut]

The Financial Times has dubbed the designs shown at Milan Fashion Week as ideal for “bimbos,” and likely inspired by Prime Minister Berlusconi’s sex scandal.
