Hit me, baby, one more time seems to be Spears’s motto when it comes to launching new perfumes. The singer’s newest scent, Fantasy Britney Spears Intimate Edition, is a little more romantic and a lot less sweet-smelling than some of her previous 17 perfumes.
The fragrance, which has top notes of lychee, violet leaves and Italian lemon, is more mature smelling then some of her previous perfumes, which we all happily wore in middle school. And the craziest thing about Intimate Edition? It rounds out the star’s perfume collection to 18 . (Think she’ll hit 20?)

Next up, M.A.C Cosmetics has tapped British chart-topper Ellie Goulding for this year’s holiday collection. While details for the full line are still unfolding, based on the singer’s Instagram snapshot, the collection looks to be filled with shimmery neutral eye shadows, gorgeous pink lip products and fun falsies. Goulding joins the ranks of stars, including Rihanna, Lorde, Nicki Minaj and more, who have all partnered with the brand.
“Oi oi SO excited to finally share what I’ve been working on with @MACcosmetics!!! #MACEllieGoulding drops in Dec/Jan!,” the singer captioned the shot on Instagram.
It wouldn’t be a fashion news roundup without a little Karlie Kloss action, now would it? The supermodel stuns in the colorful and sleek new ads (shot by famed photographers Mert Alas and Marcus Piggott) for the Versace’s fall/winter collection, joining fellow models Caroline Trentini, Lexi Boling, River Viiperi, Oliver Stummvoll and Alessio Pozzi.
“My new campaign is pure Versace, remixed and revolutionized,” Donatella Vercase said in a statement. “The power of color, cut and the new #GREEK motif speak for themselves.”

In the bustling streets of Southeast, Washington DC, rapper Kazon’s latest offering, “My Brother,” emerges as a symphony of redemption and advocacy, resonating with audiences far and wide.
