Most people choose to dress up as the most terrifying, ghoulish characters they can think of to celebrate Halloween.

But last night Gwen Stefani decided to channel her inner little girl as she arrived for a spooky party at the Beverly Wilshire hotel dressed up to the nines as Disney's Cinderella.

The 42-year-old singer donned a blue satin gown, white elbow-length gloves and piled her blonde hair on top of her head as she went all out for the occasion.

Jessica and husband Cash Warren welcomed their second daughter, Haven, to the world last month.

But The Fantastic Four star - who also has a three-year-old daughter Honor, is already starting exercise in a bid to get back her figure following her latest pregnancy.

She has even been handing out workout tips after fans contacted her on Twitter for advice.

The actress tweeted last week: 'I did my first day of workout since I had the baby, just cardio for 40 mins -it's a start.

'Anyone else starting a fitness regimen?'

Soon she was swamped with responses and ended up performing as a celebrity exercise agony aunt.

She explained her workout consisted of exercise bike and elliptical machine, and suggested new mothers do a mix of interval training, circuit training with light weights, and plyometrics.

And when one fa thanked her for motivating her to work off her own baby weight she replied: 'awesome let's do it together. I could use the motivation as well.'

She even explained that she had received medical advice that it would be beneficial to hit the gym to help her get back on he feet.

'I will work out every day for 45 minutes:' Jessica Alba reveals her plan to get back in shape post-baby

'I will work out every day for 45 minutes:' Jessica Alba reveals her plan to get back in shape post-baby

Mother-to-be Jessica Alba has always been considered a sex symbol.

And the 30-year-old actress, who is currently eight months pregnant, has admitted she is raring to get back in pre-baby shape.

Jessica spoke candidly about how she plans to shed the extra weight with Lucky Magazine for their September Issue and posed for an accompanying photo-shoot done before she even announced she was expecting again back in February.

'Working out every day for even just 45 minutes is good for my mental state,' the star admits about how she is planning on getting back in bikini ready shape.

But Jessica admits that she finds it hard to actually go and workout.

'Getting dressed and actually doing it is the worst. It’s hard to get motivated.'

'In the gym, I have like five things to distract me: TV, iPod, magazines. Working partners are good, too, so you can chat and not just drown in your own misery. Sorry, does that sound bad? I just hate working out.'

The other thing which she plans to change is her diet which will be a strict meal-plan delivered to her house.

'I have a hard time with portion control, so I have 1,200 calorie meals delivered. But I also work out, so basically I’m starving—it sucks. I drink a lot of water.'

However Jessica has been enjoying her pregnancy and said she has taken more time to relax this time around.

'Pamper yourself and do pre-natal yoga,' she suggested when asked how she has got through it.

The actress has also worked throughout her pregnancy and is currently promoting her new film Spy Kids 4 which premièred this week.

She has come a long way in her career and is now one of the highest grossing actresses in Hollywood because of the Spy Kids franchise.

But her first ever audition, aged just eleven, she persuaded her mother to let her enter an acting competition in Beverly Hills.

'We all went out for it...my mom, my auntie, her four kids, my auntie’s boyfriend, my brother and I all sardined inside our Buick Regal.'

'That’s how we rolled back then.'

'I lied and said I done plays,' she said.

'My mom definitely taught me how to hustle.'

But looking back on it she says she knows how she got to be where she is today.

'Why am I here?' she asks. 'Sheer will and determination, dammit...And I hustled like crazy.'

'I will never get my pre-baby body back': Candid Jessica Alba on the downside of motherhood ~ Allure Magazine August 2011

As she awaits her second child, Jessica Alba can't help but marvel at the miracle of pregnancy.

'I saw how incredible and amazing it is to be a woman and to be able to create a life,' the 29-year-old says of welcoming her first child Honor, now three.

'There’s a reason why certain areas of the body are desirable - because it all leads to reproduction,' she says.

But in a candid interview with the latest issue of Allure magazine, she admits that motherhood has changed her body forever.

While the star, who became famous for her bikini body in 2005's Into The Blue, worked hard to get back into shape following the birth of her first child, she as accepted that she will never fully regain her pre-pregnancy figure.


'I can’t ever get down to the weight I was before I had Honor,' she says.

'My body’s just different. The jeans just sort of zip up differently, and things hang differently. It’s a miracle what happens, but you definitely are different afterward.'

'Unless you’re Gisele,' she adds with a chuckle.

The star, who is married to production assistant Cash Warren, is also doing her best to embrace the ageing process.

Of her impending 30th birthday, she says: 'You get to be more complicated and complex and dynamic, I believe, the older you are.

'When you read scripts, there’s usually women in their 30s who have great roles, or women in their late teens and early 20s. And in that in-between time, it’s tough to find your footing. Later, there’s just more happening in someone’s life.'

And the Fantastic Four and Little Fockers actress is certain the best is yet to come,

'According to some people, I peaked in my early 20s,' she adds with a chuckle. 'I was like, "Oh, really? I feel like I’m getting better".'

Jessica Alba drapes her curves in a summer dress as she says it's better to show a baby bump than hide it

Pregnant and proud: Jessica Alba drapes her curves in a summer dress as she says it's better to show a baby bump than hide it

She said earlier this month that she feels much happier showing off her baby bump than trying to hide it.

And Jessica Alba did just that as she stepped out with adorable three-year-old daughter Honor wearing a cute blush-coloured summer dress with a peach cardigan.

The 30-year-old actress took Honor to pick up some baby supplies at Bel Bambini in Beverly Hills before the arrival of the new addition to her family later this summer.

In a recent interview with Latina magazine, Spy Kids 4 actress Jessica said she had embraced the changes pregnancy has made to her body, and is proud of her new figure.

She said: 'If you are sporting a pregnant belly, it's better to show it than to hide it.

'The more figure-forming your clothes, even though you have more curves, the better.

'I like long, thin sweaters that kind of hide my hips and my booty, so there's not a huge emphasis on how big they're getting.'

While Jessica can soon be seen in the upcoming movie Spy Kids 4, she has significantly reduced her workload since having Honor, her first child with husband Cash Warren.

Talking about how having a child has changed her life, Jessica said: 'After I had Honor I didn't leave the house for a while.

'It was all about changing diapers and feedings and still trying to get back in to the routine of my [acting] thing. I love what I do.

'But unless it's worth it, I'm not going to spend time away from my daughter. Before I had her, work was all I had. Now it's not.'

Spy Kids 4: All The Time In The World is released in the UK on 19th August.

The colour block party: Statement hues ruled at 'fashion Oscars'

The colour block party: Statement hues ruled at 'fashion Oscars'


While Jessica Alba's DVF number received mixed reviews, there was no denying that bright and bold was the trend of the moment...



By Tamara Abraham

If ever there was a place to pick up a trend, it would be the CFDAs, and last night's event certainly didn't disappoint.

Block colours were the order of the day, with every top model and designer worth their fashion cred working a bold, bright hue.

Orange was a particular favourite, teamed with purple by Jessica Alba in her Diane von Furstenberg gown. Designer Lubov Azria and model Zuzanna Bijoch went for the same colour.

Boldly going: Jessica Alba wore an orange and purple DVF creation to the CFDAs last night - a perfect example of the colour block trend. But the clashing hues failed to impress everyone

But that was no where it ended. Chanel Iman dazzled in turquoise blue, Doutzen Kroes looked ravishing in scarlet and Leigh Lezark pulled off a challenging mustard shade.


The look was a favourite with designers too. J Crew's Jenna Lyons arrived in a bright green sequin skirt, while Cynthia Rowley turned heads in a vibrant yellow skirt.

Beauty heiress Aerin Lauder also chose yellow, teaming her neon top with a black skirt, as did actress Emmanuelle Chriqu.

Of course it was the supermodels who pulled the look off to greatest effect. Only someone with the knockout body of French-Tunisian model Kenza Fourati could have worn her bright blue Marc Bouwer to such great effect.

And Karlie Kloss made Michelle Obama favourite Jason Wu pround in his red belted gown.

But it's never all good news, and even where fashion awards are concerned, there can be some faux pas. Poor Maggie Rizer, despite her supermodel pins, made an ill choice in a shiny blue metallic Nicole Miller minidress.

This year's CFDAs saw Marc Jacobs honoured with a lifetime achievement award, while Jack McCollough and Lazaro Hernandez for Proenza Schouler took home the Womenswear Designer of the Year Award.

Lady Gaga - who incidentally took the colour-block look to her tresses in a bright blue wig - was given the Fashion Icon Awards, while industry favourites Alexander Wang and Phoebe Philo also took home major prizes.
