Stunning actress, Jessica Alba dazzles in a strapless Gucci dress, and the ever growing and adorable baby bump, on the cover of Elle magazine for February 2008.

The engagement to boyfriend Cash Warren (son of actor Michael Warren), whom she met while making ‘Fantastic Four’ in 2004, and their first child who is due in early spring or summer of 2008, are two sweet joys this year has bought in for her.

She starts of saying, “I’m reading this dumb book, and it’s getting in my head,” as she digs through her giant studded Gerard Darel bag. “I was so nauseous reading this while I was on the bike today,” she says about the book which became an instant best-seller when Victoria Beckham was photographed carrying it.

Alba reads from the chapter concerning slaughterhouses,.. “cows and hogs are then ’strung up’ from the ceiling by a chain attached to their legs. In theory, while they dangle there, they are supposed to be unconscious. But often they are fully conscious, struggling, screaming, and fearfully staring at the workers while they have their throats stabbed open.”

Well, lets just add that up to the fact that keeping fit with refreshing workouts at Emerson Hall Fitness does come in handy for her.

Here’s what she wore for the issue’s shoot…

Printed silk and viscose dress, Chloé, $2,025, at Chloé, Las Vegas. Crystal bracelets, Tom Binns, $575-$675. Patent leather sandals, Burberry, $750.

To end the year with a gentle touch, Dominique Moncourtois and Heidi Morawetz have created a Makeup Collection for Chanel, which is incorporated by shades that sparkle like the winter sun. Light plays with iridescent and satiny effects for magical brilliance.

Les 4 Camelias De Chanel
Exclusive creation

In a black satin case, four replicas of camellias with voluptuous curves in rosy white, rosy beige, plum and peach-pink shades. Four exquisite, luminous and light flowers for the lips. A creamy texture that glides on with a small brush. The shades are used alone or blended for lips that are delicately tinted, satiny and slightly iridescent.

Rouge Hydrabase
Creme Lipstick
Sophisticated lip-color

ROUGE À LÈVRES HYDRABASE brings comfort and hydration* to your lips. A soft, creamy, texture. A wide range of shades that give a silky satin finish.

Castor oil and a lanolin derivative supply the satin finish and ensure a lasting hold. The creamy texture of shea butter leaves lips feeling soft and moisturised. (Contents : 3.5 g)

You can choose from over 40 shades of this rich delight for your lips.

Tip:

To improve the hold of your lipstick, powder your lips before applying lipstick, or blend a small quantity of powder with the lipstick, using a brush. To prevent your lipstick from running, outline your lips with the gently warmed point of a lip crayon.

Heidi Morawetz and Dominique Moncourtois, the CHANEL creators, summed it up perfectly.

“A woman’s hands can set the scene for a thousand different effects of colour, light and materials. Nail varnish is decoration, grooming and protection for the nails. With this elegant finishing touch, a woman brings a touch of colour to her every gesture, and reveals her mood of the moment.”

Poudre Universelle Libre
Natural Finish loose Powder
A sheer, natural finish for the complexion…

It unifies the complexion, with a natural sheer matt finish, and disguises imperfections without emphasising lines. The unique dispenser puts exactly the right amount of powder onto the cotton velvet puff, for a perfect natural finish.

Holiday collection
Multi-Color Palette: Eyes-Cheeks-Lips

A real makeup palette that offers four eyeshadows, two glosses and two cream lipsticks.

The warm or cool shades, combined with matte, satiny or shiny textures, make the eyes look bigger or more intense and trace the mouth in color or iridescent shine.

On the eyes, tender peach harmonizes with a bronze-touched brown and soft pink flirts with smoky violet. On the lips, iridescent pink or golden apricot gloss creates scintillating reflections. As for the two intensely colored creams, they can be used on cheeks or lips for a chic, classic look.

For the eyes, all of the eyeshadow shades can be blended to create new customized shades. For the lips, the satiny and shiny textures can be layered for different effects.
